Omg! I hadn't realized I haven't been updating. Gomen, gomen my dear readers! Anywho, heres the 8th chapter, don't own anything.
A week had passed since Naruto's birthday. The blond couldn't have been more happy now that he had something nice to wear but also a new lovable pet fox to take care of. Luckily, the fox wouldn't prove to be much of a rival since Sasuke made sure to ultimately threaten it should the kitsune ever cross the line.
One glorious day just like most days, Team 7 were waiting for Kakashi again but also for Sakura which was odd concidering that she was pretty much the first one always to greet her two fellow members on the bridge. "I wonder where Sakura could be...Maybe shes ill or something?" Naruto said with concern while he waited with Sasuke. Naruto still had a bit of a heart for the pink haired kunoichi even though he knew she would never return his affection. "I pray to god she is. I hope shes so sick she won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of her life" thought Sasuke but grunted outloud to the blond, "I'm sure shes fine dobe".
And right on cue the said girl popped up beside them in a cloud of smoke. "Oi guys!" Sakura giggled while Naruto and Sasuke said hello back but their faces then turned into that of surprise.
"Um...Sakura-chan? What...are you wearing?" the blond pointed stupidly for that was all he was able to do at the moment. Sasuke meanwhile had slapped his hand on his forehead, wishing he was miles away from his girl teamate. Instead of wearing her everyday clothes, Sakura was dressed up as a detective. "Because you idiot! Sasuke said he likes a girl, but since hes being so secretive about it I've decided to do some investigating for myself" the pink haired girl said huffly; pulling out a magnifying glass and peering through it everywhere chance she got.
"Oh fuck" Sasuke growled inwardly. He had totally forgotten about what he had said to Sakura last week. Now he was sure she would find out that his story was a lie and blab the news to everyone in the whole village. He wouldn't be able to show his face every again!
Now it was Naruto's turn to stare at Sasuke with surprise. For a moment he said nothing, just blinked. "Oh...I see" Naruto said softly. There was something in the way he said it that struck a nerve in Sasuke although he didn't know why. But the feeling melted away instantly when he saw the boy's lips spread out into a soft grin.
"Well thats certainly something I didn't expect to hear. I always just thought you were too stone hearted" Naruto teased. "Well at least I'm not clumsy or idiotic like you, chicken" retorted Sasuke. They were about to get into it but thats when Kakashi decided to show out of the blue, commenting on how brown didn't really go good with Sakura's hair colour.
So then the four of them headed out into the forest; todays mission was to help clean up an old path that had been bombarded with litter and tree limps so that elderly people would be able to walk on it again without having to worry of throwing their back out or something. While they worked away, and by 'they' I mean mainly just the three genins because Kakashi as we all know is nothing but a lazy ass of a teacher but still manages to win our vote of being cool, the Uchiha was practically using every brain cell in his body to think of what he could do about Sakura.
For one thing, killing the pink haired kunoichi was way out of the question even though he would've loved to get rid of her. And he couldn't just flat out expose his lie. "Maybe I could just say I hooked up one of my stupid fan girls..." the raven haired boy thought, putting a broken tree limp in a garbage bag while thinking of back on each and every girl that had given him something out of their undying love. He shook his head. No that idea wouldn't work at all. For one thing Sakura would probably ask who the girl and then go confirm it for herself. As if that was bad enough, each female he came acrossed was the same. Nothing but squealing, chattery, masses of wasteless human matter. More like pigs in Sasukes opinion.
"You know Sasuke, the more you think the more complex your problems are going to turn".
Sasuke jumped abit, looking over towards Kakashi who was laying a few feet near him under a tree and reading that same old book. The boy glanced over his shoulder to see if the others heard, which they hadn't, and walked just a bit closer to his sensei with a glare, "What are you talking about?".
Kakashi flipped a page as his one eye briefly read a sentence before boring into the Uchiha, "I normally don't get into other peoples business but since it looks like you need some advice I might as well give it to you. And that is do what you have to do in order to achieve what you want, even if it means you must sacrifice something just to gain it or destroy the people you care about. In the long run you'll see that maybe things will all come together and turn out better then you could've imagined".
While Sasuke was listening to the silver haired man he let his eyes rest on Naruto sadly. Nothing would ever be simple, he knew. And Kakashi was right. Some things you just had to do in order to handl life itself and if it meant he had to get a girlfriend in order to have his secret kept...well...Sasuke was going to have to lump it for the time being.
And so, after the mission was done, he went to the local pet booth and bought a puppy and told Sakura that it was she he loved. Her world was in paradise at the mere mention of his confession.
Sasuke's however was utterly bleak and hollow; his fate now sealed with ultimate doom.
Sorry this chap was short and not humorus as the last ones. Hopefully I won't forget to update again. Sorry again guys!
