Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ I'll be there ❯ Over-reactions ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

"How could you?" Sasuke whispered. He wasn't supposed to feel this way because he didn't love her. He didn't care if she was with another guy but than why was he so hurt and jealous when he did see her with Neji. He hated feeling emotional but what he hated the most was that he couldn't keep his emotionless façade around her anymore.

"Sasuke," Sakura gasped out in horror. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. She knew how the position that Neji and her were in looked to Sasuke. He probably thought they were doing something * blush *. She quickly fought down the blush, knowing this was no time for this kind stuff. Neji slowly slid off Sakura even with his bleeding wound. The look on Sasuke's face told him that he was taking his and Sakura's position in another sort of way. Sakura quickly sat up, with a quick look off thanks towards Neji she proceeded towards Sasuke.

"Umm Sasuke, Did you need something?" Sakura said nervously, not knowing what else to say. I don't think I should have said that.

"I did but it seems that you are very busy, so I'll try not to waste any more of your precious time and leave." Sasuke's voice deadly calm to an extent that it was scary, yet his onyx eyes burning with a fire that seemed to ignite more and more as he looked at Sakura.

"Sasuke, It's not what it looked like." Sakura pleaded desperately, trying to make him understand but Sasuke was already out of the door by than. Sakura quickly followed him out of the door unaware of Neji who followed her out as well while putting on his shirt.

"Sasuke, Please wait. Let me explain" She begged. Sasuke stopped but never faced her. Sakura breathed heavily in before she started explaining.

"Well, I was getting bandages for Neji's wound when I slipped and was about to fall down when Neji just happened to grab my wrist but because of the wound, his grip loosened causing me to fall down which in result caused him to fall on top of me. And that's when you-" Sakura was cut off by Sasuke.

Well he'll surely understand now by the way she's explaining. Neji thought sarcastically. No wonder he wasn't involved in any sort of commitment. Your partner jumps to conclusions easily, because of the jealousy streak they have in them. They don't listen to you and because of some stupid misunderstanding they ruin their own life along with yours. But this situation shouldn't have been any problem since Sakura and Sasuke weren't in any sort of relationship to begin with but it was starting to seem like that Sasuke was beginning to like Sakura. Last time I checked I was an expert on destiny not love and relationships. And since when did I care about what sort of relationship Sasuke and Sakura were in. I've only been living with this team for two days and my life is already starting to get screwed up. And any ways I'm starting to talk more than I normally do which by my standards isn't good. Neji was interuppted out of his thoughts by Sasuke's voice.

"SHUT UP"

"Sasuke,"

"You expect me to believe that."

"Sasuke, just-"

"Don't Sasuke me. I should've known you were just like the rest of those sluts who would go

after any good-looking guy who paid them just a little bit of attention. Believe it or not I actually believed all that bull of you wanting to stay by my side and rest of the crap you always babbled about. And what I find even more ironic is that your parent's death didn't even seem to effect you at all. You're still acting like the friggin happy-go-lucky person you are. Damn it. What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you feel any remorse or sadness?" By this time Sasuke was yelling furiously. But before he knew what was happening, Sakura had come over to him and slapped him hard. He slowly brought a hand towards his now swollen red cheek and stared at her in an utter expression of shock. There were tears coming out her eyes making their way down her face.

"How dare-"

"How dare you? That's what you were gonna say wasn't it. But shouldn't I be asking you that same thing. How dare you stand there and accuse me of not feeling sadness after my parent's death? How dare you accuse me of being a slut when all I did was start paying less attention to you and more to the people who actually care about me? You are probably the biggest hypocrite I know because from what I remember you were the one who called me annoying, weak and pathetic all that time but I still cared for you, loved you and cherished every single moment with you. Yet you still pushed me away. And you know what maybe deep down I still do love you because if you haven't noticed there are way nicer guys out there who I could date but I don't. So I'd say you are the one who is shallow, not me. And let me tell you one thing Uchiha Sasuke, if I don't act cold and distant like you because of my family's death and just smile, it only means I'm stronger than you. Stronger in a sense that I can smile even when I'm going through hell unlike you who pushes people away and acts like a complete bastard." Sakura voiced out calmly, never letting her voice waver despite the tears streaming down her face. With a last look at Sasuke's face she went down the stairs and left the house, the way she came in just a few minutes ago before the disastrous event.

"Well, I'd say that went pretty well, Uchiha," Neji commented sarcastically. Life was already turning overly dramatic in this house. Atleast I've live entertainment now. Neji sighed. But seriously, Sasuke definitely over-reacted but atleast Sakura set him straight. He was definitely shocked when she slapped and even more when she told him off. He never thought that she would ever do anything against Sasuke but she proved him wrong.

While on the other side, Sasuke was still too shocked to snap back at Neji. He still couldn't believe that she actually SLAPPED him. But his now swollen cheek told him otherwise. Maybe he over-reacted just a little by calling her a slut and not feeling sad and whatever other crap he said to her. Ok maybe not. He over-reacted a lot even though she told him the truth about why having Neji on top of her and did he mention about his lips very close to Sakura's. This was his entire fault. It's not like they were in a relationship in which he had the right to jump to conclusions and accuse her for cheating or something. They were merely friends and nothing more. Repeat NOTHING MORE. Too bad he just realized that right now.

What the hell am I going to do now? Sasuke thought helplessly. He wasn't acting like himself but who would after making a fool out of himself by acting like an over-reactive jealous jerk.

Naruto ran up the stairs to see what had happened that made Sakura storm out like that. All he heard was Sasuke yelling about something. He thought he was probably arguing with Neji. But than he heard Sakura saying something calmly which made him slightly worried. Before he could comprehend what was happening Sakura had stormed out the door. If Sasuke or Neji had upset her he was gonna kick their ass. After all she had just suffered a major loss, so he didn't want to see her upset because of some idiot who was just too insensitive towards her.

"Would someone please tell me why Sakura stormed out like that?" Naruto asked, his expression slightly worried.

"You can ask that idiot over there," Neji pointed at Sasuke and left the two rivals alone by leaving the house and going god knows where.

"SASUKE-BASTARD, WHAT DID YOU DO TO SAKURA-CHAN????!!!!!!!!!!!!" You could hear Naruto yelling all through the village.

Sakura was sitting by the side of the lake staring idly at her tear-strained reflection in the water. She just happened to be in the park where Sasuke first called her annoying. She could still clearly him say.

`You're annoying'

How many times had she felt this way before? She wondered. It seems whenever Sasuke was around she somehow always got hurt. He was the only one who could hurt her this much. Maybe it was her that was the problem of their one-sided fights (Sasuke snapping at her and she listening to him). Or maybe it was just his uncaring and cold personality. Either way she couldn't really tell because most of the time it seemed to be the both.

But this time the hurt caused by his harsh words was too much. All she was trying to do was to appear strong before her teammates so they wouldn't be worried but that bastard thought she was happy. How could he think so selfishly? Wasn't he the one who wanted her to be strong not weak? But most of all how could he be so shallow as to think that she would have sexual affairs with guys just because he didn't pay attention to her. Just thinking about it made her wanna slap him again. She could feel her body tremble with sobs that she had tried to hold back for the past few minutes.

SHE HATED HIM. SHE DESPISED HIM. HOW COULD HE THINK SO LOW OF HER????!!!!!!!

Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around to see that it was……………………
