Chapter 4: Attempting to NOT obsess over you (part1)
Sakura knew that she still have last night's drinking session's after effects the instant she joined Naruto's sensei-bashing charade. Under regular ciscumstances, she would have just either snarled at his silly way of entertaining himself or left the scene entirely to guffaw at her leisure. But then, she before she could resort to either one of her tactics, his blue eyes latched on to her green ones, making her feel giddy all over--almost like the fuzz she had felt when she had tipped the whole contents of one beer bottle to her lips and took it in one huge gulp.
She felt happy, ecstatic even, like she could hold the world on the palm of her hand. The feeling is so nice, she would have gladly stayed in that state, but Naruto had to open his mouth and say something as absurd as tying herself to his body. Truly, if it hadn't been for the freezing feeling that slid down her spine, Sakura would certainly have burst out into a mocking (okay, fake) laughter.
But fear got to her first. Could he have known that she likes, LIKES him?
Not wanting to make hel falter all the more obvious, Sakura quickly covered it up with anger, which, if you would like to know, didn't turn out all too well.
"I DO NOT LIKE YOU THAT MUCH NARUTO!"
Sakura had blinked at her outburst, thinking that she couldn't have possibly been the one who said. Fully convincing herself that there is another female lurking around at that moment somewhere, Sakura swivelled her head around so she could catch sight of the intruder.
No one's there!
After her outburst, Naruto just looked at her funny, a very, very slight frown adorning his whiskered face. She had held her breath then and fought the blush that was threatening to color her cheeks. Silently, she was chanting that he brush it off and get on with life, while her Inner Self scarmbled around looking for cover as though expecting a barrage of weaponry to be launched at her.
It took a minute too long before Naruto did shrugged it off, just in time for Kakashi-sensei's arrival.
"Yo!" Kakashi-sensei said, giving them a small salute. Sakura was about to expel a relieved sigh for the good turn of events, but then, Sasuke chose that very moment to rain on her parade.
"What did you say, Sakura?" he drawled out, smirking for all that he was worth. If it hadn't been for the (false) affection that she has been harboring for him all these time, she would have gladly DECKED him just so he would shut up. Also, there are better ways to clamp that Uchiha trap and beating him sense less definitely not the way to do it.
Sakura plastered an evil grin to her face. Batting her lashes at him, she slinked her way sexily to his side. "It's because I like LIKE you wayyy better, Sasuke-kun," she said throatily and would have in fact given in to her desire to traumatize the Uchiha for life by making kissing noises near his ear but he fled quickly from her.
See? He is sooo easily disposed of.
Basing on the expressions on both Kakashi-sensei and Naruto's face, she knew that they couldn't simply make out what's with her today. She raised her eyebrows at them, daring them to comment on her actions. Kaka-sensei, obviously opting for the easiest way out, just shook his head. 'Don't tell me, I don't even want to know," her teacher's face said.
Naruto, on the other hand, still have that funny look at him. When his brows creased to a frown, she frowned right back at him in defiance, but despite this cocky attitude, deep within her head, her Inner-self who is still cowering under the blanket she snatched from God-knows-where, screamed at her "Your on your own, girl!"
Stupid, cowardly, good for nothing subconscious. Honestly, why couldn't she just chuck her out? She's really no help at all.
Thankgoodness, Kakashi once again intervened, breaking Naruto's eye contact with her. Those damn gorgeous, truly captivating blue eyes are gonna be the death of her one of these days.
"We are going to try chakra incorporation today." Kakashi-sensei said, wanting to go straight to today's agenda. "What I need for you guys to do is to get a bucket of water, use your chakra to swirl in with the water molecules, then shoot the water up from the bucket as far as you could. Measure the distance of how far you could vertically shoot the water using a tree trunk, and stick a target on the ground so you could measure how far you could get it to go horizontally. You could submerge your hand in the water bucket, let it hover over the bucket....either way ...I don't care how you shoot the water out from the bucket, so long as you accomplish some shooting today. Otherwise, there'll be hell to pay."
He grinned at them and waved. "I'll be back say before sundown. Don't forget, punishment will be handed down to the person who can't do it. Ja ne!" In a puff of smoke, he disappeared.
Sakura rolled her eyes. This is great, just great. It's either her or Naruto who's gonna get the punishment and to be painfully honest, she doesn't really wanna know. If ever she's the one who would get punished, it'll be no surprise to her if she's left alone to endure whatever Kakashi-sensei have in store for them. But then again, if Naruto is the one who would get punished, what she would do (notice the lack of the words 'probably' and 'most likely'?) she would pretend to leave, but would CERTAINLY retrace her footsteps back so she could watch her Naruto.
There's this one problem with that though. Wait, make that two. First, is Kaka-sensei might detect her presence there and two, she might chance upon Hinata (again) doing the same thing. She barely got an excuse the last time Hinata found her spying on Naruto too on the training grounds.
"My dear hapless pupils," Kakashi-sensei said, once again reappearing in a puff of smoke and scaring Sakura witless. Who wouldn't? Not only did her baka-sensei turned up just a few inches behind her without any warning at all, he dumped three pails on her head making her look like she had worn one too many head gears this morning.
"I forgot to give these buckets," he snickered, "Sorry about that. Ja ne!"
That little....argh!
Sakura calmed herself down as she painstakingly removed the buckets from her head. Putting one aside for herself, she went to Sasuke and handed his, giving him her sweetest smile. Next, she went to Naruto and practically shoved the bucket to his chest.
"Sasuke-kun, let's go get the water from the stream there!" Sakura invited, momentarily taking her attention away from Naruto, but nonetheless staying right beside him. When Sasuke nodded his agreement, she roughly took hold of one of Naruto's hands and began dragging him along with her.
"Hey!" the blond protested, as he stumbled after her wake.
"What?" she snapped, coming to a stop so she could glare at him, "aren't you going to come with us?"
"Of course, I am!" he said vehemently (why are looking so adorable right, now? why?), searching her eyes for clues as to why she's acting rather strangely. In Sakura's opinion, he shouldn't be complaining in the first place for she's acting kindly towards him, really.
Wow, he's hand really feels good in hers.
Sakura was about to snatch her hand away from his when this realization hit her, but Naruto suddenly tightened his grip on her hand. The blush that she had been able to successfully chase away earlier have now completely took over her face, giving the color red a whole new definition.
Sakura looked away, completely flustered. She has to get away from him now, she has to! Raising one leg up, she planted her feet on his chest and shoved him away for the second time that morning.
"Let's get going, now!" she growled at him, giving her Inner Self free reign to bat the concern away that was threatening to swallow her up as Naruto crashed to a tree trunk soundly. Steeling herself so she wouldn't give in to the urge to come to his aid, she turned away and proceeded on to the path where the stream is.
"Now, you are leaving me!" Naruto called out, his voice hurt. Sakura winced, and with guilt getting the better of her, she stomped all the way to his side. With nary a word, she hauled him to his feet by his shoulders and began pushing him from behind.
Roughly, of course, so he wouldn't get any other ideas. She's just helping him. That is all.
