Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Anbu Administration High ❯ A Blinding Moment of the Obvious ( Chapter 9 )

A Blinding Moment of the Obvious

 

 

“Sakura” he whispered as he trailed kisses up her stomach. She gripped the covers in her hand tightly squeezed on each side. Sasuke felt his little self down there harden up. He kissed up her neck and she started mumbling his name in a passionate manner however suddenly it started to get louder and more of an angry call.

 

“Sasuke!” He rose up staring straight out the tree he and Tenten had chosen as the best hiding stop at the beginning of class. “What was going on in that head of yours?” Sasuke just hoped that his face was all she was looking at because if her face was to come to face his erection he would have to face humiliation or even worse, blackmail, through out the rest of the school year.

 

“Damn! I can't get a moment of peace in my life?”

 

“Though these weapons are not real they still determine the grade I'll get!” She pointed a kunai at Sasuke's bemused face. He hadn't realized how much time he was in to the school day already. Considering he woke up early not to have to face Sakura but yet went to sleep extremely late wondering whether he should go and talk to her about what happened and about the fact that she was ignoring him the whole day since the morning was killing him to sleep. How exhausting! Then sleeping through class wasn't that much exciting now with this rude awakening. But of course an `Uchiha' shouldn't be talked down to! So Sasuke quickly picked himself up to face ten ten's pissed-off-I'm-about-to-rip-your-nut's-out face.

 

“It's one stupid grade. There's extra credit and there's other classes! Aren't there! Get over yourself already!” They turned and mumbled under their breaths. Though guilt was souring through Sasuke he always let his pride take over. `Maybe an apology ought to do. Nah! She doesn't even deserve it. AHHH! I have to take care of this problem first! Then I'll worry about her.'

 

“So annoying” he mumbled.

 

“You're such a jerk” She said.

 

“What did you say?!” They said in unison now facing each other.

 

`Maybe I should rethink this whole apology thing!'

 

“Hmph!” Sasuke turned around and excused himself from class to find a bathroom immediately. He opened the door to find out that it was empty. He went in, did his business and before stepping out of the little box he was in, he cleans his hand with paper toilet to not give any suspicions to the other boys hanging around in the bathroom.

 

“……I heard she and Itachi have something going on”

 

“Impossible! Itachi thinks with his fist not his dick and sakura is as innocent as they come.” He chuckled.

 

“Yeah, she is still up for grabs. Itachi and Sakura? Pshh! I'd have more of a chance than him.”

 

Sasuke tensed up as the three voices entered the bathroom. He recognized the second voice. Wow, so there is a lot of competition. It was real tempting to step out but Sasuke instead wanted to eavesdrop a little more to find out where they were going with this. It irked him that he couldn't do something, even more he wanted to find out if that second person (otherwise known as Deidara) was after sakura as well. But how would that be of help? Nor he or Sakura were sure of their emotions as well, at least Sakura wasn't for sure. His own sibling wanted Sakura for himself and something about this, about her mostly, just didn't feel right. He felt sorry for her but he didn't know why. And something about her just made him not want to come near her at all. Something…..

 

“I've seen them two together a lot. They even came to school together.” Deidara stated.

 

“Hm! that doesn't stop me!”

 

Closing his eyes Sasuke wished he was hearing voices. Was he? This controversy was a matter he could take out with his fist! And these words……. these words wouldn't have to take their toll down to his hard head.

 

“I think Itachi's got enough on his hands with that girl” Sasori's reprimanded statement made the others quiet down. The words echoed Sasuke's head. “That girl” he repeated “has been after him since she got `beaten' by him at a match”

 

“What an interesting way to get attracted” smirked Shikamaru.” Though I have my doubts that Itachi won by skill”

 

“Yeah, he did win by looks. And boy was he pissed off!” Deidara stopped at Sasori's laughter that caught them off guard.

 

“Priceless” said Sasori following traces of his laughter once more. “Too bad I had something better to do that day”

 

“When don't you have something better to do?” Though it being a rhetorical question, Shikamaru got his question answered.

 

“When Sakura becomes mine” Sasori grimaced to himself in the mirror.

 

Just looking into the mirror at Sasori picturing Sakura next to him, made Deidara feel better about this whole sakura thing. `Maybe I do have a chance' he thought. He glanced under one of the bathroom boxes to realize that they were not alone. “I'm out”

 

“Me too” said Sasori followed by his last remaining companion. Before turning down the hallway, Deidara stopped and let his friends walk on. He turned around and speculated what appeared to be a thin yet muscular figure similar to that of Itachi's but small flaws compared to it. No pony tail and the height didn't match to. Coming out of the bathroom?

 

“Now why would he……?”

 

“Hurry up will ya!” hollered Sasori.

 

He catches up and glared at the floor as if trying to decipher the Devinci code. Now you definitely have to know that Deidara is a blond. I mean, is it really that hard?

 

“Umm, Sasori” he began.

 

“Hmm?”

 

“I think you might have a lot more competition then you think you do” he was kind of surprised as much as Sasori was staring in disbelief into space. Seems like the new beauty in school is popular amongst testosterones…..except one.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

`Sasori and Itachi…… and more?' As much as Sasuke didn't want it to be true, it was. He wasn't the only one with sakura on his mind. The pink haired goddess wasn't keen in giving her trust to strangers as Sasuke noticed. `How? IT'S ITACHI FOR GODS SAKE!' Annoyed and short tempered, Sasuke barged into what he thought was his class.

 

“What are you doing here son?” Guy looked at Sasuke oddly.

 

His plausible excuse didn't once run through his thick little head in those few seconds. “I don't know” his growl was that of an animal's searching for prey with no objective what so ever. “Am I not supposed to be here?”

 

“It's been 5 minutes after since the bell. And if you didn't catch on to the message, it was announced that no more book bags will be needed as of tomorrow. Everything needed will be provided except for the weapons. Those must be brought by you.”

 

“What ever. Can I just get my book bag and leave” Guy made way for Sasuke to go in. Sasuke's disrespect would never bring `happy go lucky` Guy to anger.

 

Ignoring sounds of kunai and shurikens hitting each other, he walked to a little corner where a navy blue book bag lay in a solid spot since earlier that day.

 

“Hey Sasuke!”

 

`It must be `Annoy the shit out of Sasuke` day!' “What!”

 

Now intimidated, Tayuya approached Sasuke the way a petrified ninja approaches the enemy wondering why he listened to his mother when she told him to join Anbu in the first place.

 

“I just wanted to ask you something” Her innocent tone was undeniable. Not even Sasuke could reject it.

 

“What Tayuya” he monotones.

 

“Where's Hinata been?”

 

“Away Tayuya”

 

“Is she coming back soon?”

 

“No Tayuya”

 

“Will you walk with me today please?”

 

“Yes Tayuya… I mean no? Walk with you?”

 

“Yeah”

 

“Hinata was your walking partner?”

 

“Yeah” she giggled. Of course that wasn't her reason for wanting to talk with him (as any other girl would know).

 

“Sure”

 

“Really!?”

 

“Yeah” he picked up his book bag and headed towards the door. At the exit he turned around “Really, but don't expect me to talk about boys with you” he smiled at her, leaving her with a giggle or two and a dreamy look on her face.

 

Now back to pissed off Sasuke mode, who turned down hallways bumping into random people who didn't seem to take notice since it was either people kissing or having deep conversations in the middle of a hallway, in the middle of class periods. Passing by one familiar couple was what turned Sasuke's pissed off mode to a senile psycho `fuck the world' mode now. In a corner was Sakura holding Itachi's hands staring straight into his eyes mumbling something Sasuke could not pick up. Itachi's face made him get even angrier. He didn't know whether this is `fake Itachi or `Itachi never met by Sasuke before (ever)'. The exchange of words between these two people was making him crazy. Since when had Sasuke become such a jealous person? (If that's what you call an envious person that's about to commit murder). Every word that came out of his mouth was with a smile. `Brother or not, he's asking for his own death!” Of course Sasuke was pissed! And of course Itachi knew he was being stared at, he just didn't know by whom. And the minute Sasuke started to walk off, to not know what was going to happen next, was the minute Itachi turned to find out whom that person was and nothing could please him any better.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

After school comes the young Uchiha still fuming from earlier that day. He had no hurry in going home, so grateful he was to Tayuya for her tardiness (so he thinks now). He just hoped that he didn't get stood up by an offer he offered.

 

“SASUKE!” arms wrapped around his neck from behind and clapped hands together lay on his shoulder blade. “Sorry I'm late” She quickly removed them after feeling Sasuke's body tense up.

 

“Don't worry. I just thought it was someone else.” Though he himself knew that he wasn't exactly sure whether it didn't or did bother him. He just didn't want her to get too attached.

 

“So where do you want to go?”

 

“Didn't you want me to walk you home?”

 

“Yeah but I don't want to go home yet”

 

`Perfect' ”ok, so where's our first destination?”

 

“The movies” She said gleeful

 

`What the fuck did I get myself into?' “Ok, you lead” his sigh wasn't clue enough for Tayuya. They started to walk. With her hands to her side she walked very close to him, leaving no space for anyone to walk in between. Sasuke quickly put his hands in his pockets. He REALLY didn't want to go to the movies. SPEACIALLY with her. That would be just a little bit too extreme. “How about we go to eat some ice cream because I just remembered I have plans in an hour” A lie, but what other choice was there? Going to the movies seemed like a date and Tayuya isn't exactly the most exciting person ever, and besides he never has and never will be interested in her.

 

But of course Tayuya couldn't say no. “Sure, but do you know a place”

 

“Yes, I do” The next words exchanged by these two were at the ice cream parlor and none the less, what other words do you ask at the moment of buying ice cream. And as much as Sasuke hated to admit it, Tayuya seemed to be acting like another weird fan girl and not the girl he had met at the beginning of the school year. But why did she not act like that in front of Hinata, he wondered.

 

“Can I get a scoop of mango, in cup. What do you want?” She turned.

 

“Anything”

 

“Can I get two please?”

 

Sasuke just hoped that someone, anyone would appear that he could invite to join them. But lady luck was not in his side today. Maybe the sakura and Itachi thing should've been a sign. It's just them two and that looks too much of a date, considering Sasuke doesn't go out on dates much and if he is out he goes out with a group of 3 or more. After all, rich ol' Sasuke regularly takes out his dates or girlfriends to elegant places, so maybe it wasn't a date. At least not to him.

 

He paid for the ice creams and went to a nearby table with Tayuya tailing along. “Soooo ………. Is it true that you're Itachi's brother? Itachi? The one in the Akatsuki clique?”

 

“Uh-huh” `big deal'

 

“Do you like the ice cream?”

 

“I guess so”

 

“Is there a girl you like in school?”

 

“I guess so?” Since there, Tayuya's questions got deeper and more personal. Whether he was gay, or what type of girl he likes, or even whether he has had sexual relationships with other girls. Sasuke either didn't answer and she would move on to the next question or he wouldn't give her straight answers or lie (maybe he should have said `yes to the gay one) I mean who would! She wasn't the Tayuya he had met months before. She wasn't the meek and quiet girl who he knew admired him from the side. Afraid of her continuing on rambling questions, the uptight raven haired swallowed down his ice cream with out even trying to taste it but the brain freeze was worth every second. It was all worth to go home away from this person which he did not know. She, of course, was finished, but Sasuke never knew how with the constant talking she did. An offer is a promise so he walked her to the front of her place. Through out the whole walk to her house, she was a nonstop talking machine that all it knew how to do was ask questions, testing Sasuke's patience. Before he departed from the sidewalk in front of her house, she stopped him in his track to ask the question she was yearning to ask from the beginning of time. “Do you like me?”

 

“Yes” he turned around to look at her and was annoyed by the stupid face she made, “but only as a friend”

 

 

“So…. It's Hinata you like?” she put a face of discomfort of what the answer might be, “Please be honest”

 

“Mmmm….. I don't exactly want to answer that!” he had a tone of sarcasm which scared the determined Tayuya. She wasn't expecting what was to come out of his mouth that which kept her alert on her toes, “I have one nerve left! One damn nerve! And you're getting on it! These questions are out of their league….. too personal and NOT YOUR BUSINESS!” he continued on adding speed to his speech, “I don't know you, do you know that? You want to know half my life huh! You know what…… fuck it. This isn't worth the stress.” He turned around and continued walking leaving the pitiful girl on the spot dumfounded. His stroll down the side walk was stopped once more.

 

“You-You didn't answer my question!”

 

“NO! SHE'S ONLY A FRIEND! ONLY. A. FUCKING. FRIEND!”

 

“So who is it then? Who do you like!” She called out with a hoarse voice. Of course from all the talking! He ignored her and kept walking in his path remembering that she had a female body. He ignored her and kept walking on. `I shouldn't have offered shit!'. The longer the distance between them two the dimmer her voice was in his ears. Her last words he heard not too pleasing. “I'll find out who that girl is and once I do you'll regret you ever met her!”

 

`Huh' He never knew Tayuya had been that psychotically interested in him. `Crazy bitch. Stupid day. Stupid threat!” Heading home was the best part. `Maybe music or maybe…her will calm down this mood'. Having to see Itachi in school and at home was a little nerve racking but will be worth being home. Itachi wasn't much of a talker when sakura wasn't around and that's a good thing he wasn't. Communicating verbally with Sasuke would be pointless anyways. Itachi had a good guess however at why his brother showed such anger towards him.

 

`Finally' turning down on the last block that led home gave Sasuke a sense of tranquility which he lacked through the day and will now continue on missing after now just seeing sakura come from what appeared to be his house gates. His expression said otherwise to the emotion he was feeling. Walking and walking, ignoring the pink haired coming his way as if he didn't know her and able to pass by her without putting a face or making a comment was not enough when she had stopped him blocking his way. He stepped to the side, she stepped to the side. He looked at his watch and it pressured her to speak.

 

“I'm sorry for what happened. I just….. never knew what to say. Sasuke?” his response to her was silence. He knew he wanted to kiss her once more. He also knew he didn't touch something that `seemed` to belong to his brother but it was too tempting. “Why won't you look at me in the eyes?” This time he did what she wanted.

 

Looking away from the `interesting` tree down the block Sasuke brought his vision to meet hers. “What do you want?”

 

“To talk to you” surely she couldn't hide her sorrow.

 

“Well you're talking to me right now and nothing is coming out of this conversation Haruno. I have more important things to do.” He emphasized his last few words trying to treat her like any other of Itachi's girlfriends.

 

“NO! Sasuke! Don't talk to me like that!” Now Sasuke snapped. She was becoming too confusing.

 

“What the hell do you want from me sakura! Do you want me to call you bitch! Or is `Itachi's girlfriend` a better title! Stop me when I'm saying the correct word!” Maybe his eyes were deceiving him but for a second, only for a second, he saw watery eyes staring back at him calming down a bit of his temper. He felt sympathy but would surely not show it. He didn't just want to be a toy to her. He was actually hoping that she was real. To him. “Talk to me?” He straight out laughed, which sort of insulted sakura who still stood there hoping he would come around. “Why talk to me when Itachi is just behind that door”

 

She contemplated on talking at all but her mouth just let out her thoughts “He's not there and I was hoping to see you” Stunned at Sakura's words he didn't want to believe it. What would she want with him?

 

“Sakura I-”

 

“Don't tell me you don't want to talk to me, please hear me out” Sasuke glared at the face in front of him. He really didn't want to hear anymore than what he had heard already.

 

`This must be some bullshit' “You've got 30 minutes” Sakura's smile displayed the gratitude she had for Sasuke's answer though it not being too keen. She followed him through the front door in to the house she had once kissed her beloved Sasuke. She followed him through rooms and doors wondering when she could get to explain herself. Finally realizing she was inside Sasuke's room she found interesting how plain his room was yet big with its own bathroom almost like that of Itachi's. A centered bed with a computer table, another table with books and a small book case right next to it. On another side was an open door, inside a walk in closet making the house bigger than what she thought. Distracted by the room's adjustment she hadn't noticed the pale yet muscular figure standing half bare in front of her. She turned around blushing at the sight. “I'm sorry, I hadn't realized.”

 

“Stop saying sorry. You have nothing to be sorry for. Besides, you shouldn't be the one apologizing.” She blushed even happier for his change of heart. Was he trying to apologize? “What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?”

 

“Well, I don't know. There was something I wanted to tell you but you just scared it off me. But there is some other thing I wanted to tell you.”

 

“Ok” Sasuke's nerves reached their peek but had gone back down after she had entered his room. Something about her. Something made him feel uneasiness in his stomach but was still happy she was around.

 

“I'm not Itachi's girlfriend, I never was and I don't think I ever will”

 

“You don't need to give me explanations”

 

“Yes I do! And whatever was going on between me and him, I ended it. He took it easy and told me he understood and I'm glad he did” her soft smile indicated her admiration for Itachi's comply, though Sasuke still found it kind of shady because he knew Itachi liked this girl and he doesn't give up of what he wants.

 

`Itachi? Give up?' “And you want to talk to me for?”

 

“I would like for us to be friends” She responded honestly.

 

“Why me? Why not Itachi? And you could have asked me any other time. Why now?”

 

“Itachi, I think, would not have liked it-”

 

“And why not?”

 

“Can you just let me finish!” Sasuke silenced at noting the old anger he had received in the past. Sakura gracefully received her cue to speak once more.

 

“-and I prefer him to see us be friends all of a sudden instead of me asking you right in front of him”

 

“I don't exactly know how but I think he got the feeling you were attracted to me in some way, somehow. There was a time he wanted to bring me here but he wanted to know if you were going to be home or not, so I asked him if he wanted for me to go and ask you but then right that minute he started putting so many excuses and ended changing the subject.”

 

“Why didn't you come over?”

 

“I don't know. The right person to ask that question to is Itachi. He never really brought me here since then. He would just take me out someplace else.”

 

“So this was before that accident?”

 

She made a face at what he called the accident. “No, this was after that” quietness wrapped the ears of Sasuke. He was growing impatient, waiting to hear something else. Something in where she said how much she liked him or some where along those lines, but no, she just stayed with her head down staring at the floor with her thoughts into space.

 

“That's all?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“That all you wanted to talk to me about?”

 

Oh, I guess so if not when I remember I'll tell you. And I have to go now. So I guess ill see you later” she made her way down the stairs with a shirtless Sasuke following behind. She stepped behind to let the raven haired teenager unlock her path.

 

“I…… I'll talk to you tomorrow or see you s-Sasuke” he smiled at her in comprehension of her shyness. Grabbing her chin lifting her eyes to meet his, and even with the sun now setting, her eyes shined a silvery green.

 

“You will see me” He kept his cool smile and reached for her lips but turned it into a hug. She, as much disappointed as him, gave him good byes and felt his stare until appearing out of his sight.

`I'm so comfortable. So happy. Oh Sasuke' she sighed. Her long pink hair brushed against her bare arms where she still felt the warm hug.

 

“Need a ride?” The light of the black Mercedes didn't allow her to see this person clearly until the door opened and a tall slim and muscular person appeared out of it.

 

“Itachi?”

 

“Who's he?” he asked with a tone of curiosity and amusement.

 

Sakura became bug eyed and gave a loud gasp in fear as he came into view in front of the car lights. “Kimimaru” she whispered.

 

~0~

A/N: When I started this chapter I wasn't planning on making it so long, I just wanted to make it as good as possible since I'm working on my imaginative writing. Haha! I hope it did work ~_~. Anyways, I am SO sorry to have been making you guys wait for so long but in the solitude that I'm in I might have more time available to write. I use the school computers to put the chapters up so I have to be sneaky about it lol. I don't have internet yet AND YES I do have another chapter started but I'm not done with it -_-

By the way, again, if you read the Naruto manga or something, like that, then you might know who “that girl” that Sasori first mentions might be. They haven't shown her yet by what I know but she's the only girl in the Akasuki and she has blue hair. All the characters I'm using are from the series, so if there are any questions you have about any of them that you might not know just ask and I'll respond via e-mail or something.

Laterz lol ^_~ ã‚Šã‚Šã‚ã‚“
