Yo! Yes, I have finally updated. I hope you'll like this chapter! :)
"Naruto. I should have known." Shikamaru sighed.
"Hey, you guys just ran off without me! What was I suppose to do?"
"Well, you could have given us a call, instead of hanging outside like a mysterious person." Sasuke spat back. Shikamaru smirked.
"Uchiha got frightened because of you."
"I was NOT." Sasuke glared at the both of them, while Naruto sniggered. It wasn't exactly a common sight for the younger Uchiha to be seen shivering with fright. Sasuke's onyx eyes travelled around the corridor, just in case someone was following Uzumaki.
"I'm not that stupid. I won't be followed."
"How would you know? You're the dumbest among the three of us, so I rather we take precaution." Sasuke looked at the blonde with his best stoic face.
"What?! Come on, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. What could happen?"
"Anything."
Just when Shikamaru said that, Sasuke thought he caught sight of a certain pink-haired female scurrying along the corridor. She wasn't actually in sight, but Sasuke could feel footsteps and a glimpse of her fuchsia hair at the corner. He also could hear panting, somehow.
"…You see?" Shikamaru and Sasuke both said in unison as Naruto crossed his arms across his chest and pouted. Everybody makes mistakes! Just because he was supposedly the stupidest of them all, means he always has to make mistakes? Sometimes, the blonde just felt a little left out from his smarter friends.
"Sakura, I know you're here." Sasuke kept his stare at the spot where he last saw Sakura's hair. Then, slowly, but surely, Sakura emerged from behind one of the walls, somewhat frightened by the brunette's gaze.
'That strong, powerful gaze. Never has he looked at me with such a serious motive. The feeling was just…indescribable.'
Haruno folded her arms across her chest, standing nervously as she waited for someone – anyone – to speak. Her emerald green eyes searched for the slightest sign of life in the three boys. The scary thing was that they weren't moving at all, they weren't even showing emotion in their eyes. Yes, not even Naruto.
"Are you ever going to speak?" Sakura looked at all of them.
"No." Sasuke yawned as he stretched his arms.
"You just spoke, you idiot." Shikamaru pointed out.
Naruto rolled his eyes. Shikamaru and Sasuke can be such babies sometimes, fighting over the most trivial things. But, of course, if he wants to, Sasuke can be a jerk to almost anybody – especially Naruto.
"What are you doing here?!" Naruto shouted at the pink-haired student, irritated at the fact that she followed him all the way here just to see stupid Sasuke. What was so good about him that all the girls start falling for him? Well, except Hinata of course.
"I just wanted -"
Before Sakura could go on, the four of them heard footsteps coming this way. Not just one person, but a whole stampede.
"RUN!"

Itachi sighed, sitting down. Really, if he hadn't had wrote that during History, he would never be in this mess. He and his overly itchy writing fingers.
'Just because you were bored, doesn't mean you could just yourself to that low a level.'
Word got out and students, classmates, even teachers were looking at him with such weirdness that if you have never seen Itachi, you would have thought he was an alien from outer space.
The older Uchiha laid his head gently on his table, his right index finger tapping lightly. What was he to do? Well, let's face it; he only had five things left to do:
1. Apologize.
Ha. Fat hope. Firstly, Itachi never apologized. Never. Could you ever imagine our favourite little Itachi actually bowing his head ninety degrees and saying 'Gomenasai!' repeatedly? Hopefully, you haven't.
2. Confess
Confess? Itachi was the student body president for crying out loud! He always does the right things. Right? A president with a clean image like him never confesses! So, it is out of the question.
3. Reject
Who. Are. You. Kidding? How could he reject the one boy he loved the most?! No way. Plus, that would mean he would be telling Sasuke he didn't like him (which was simply not true!). It was going to be like a bomb to younger brother that he knew. He wasn't ready to kill Sasuke. Yet.
4. Go over to the Public Announcement System and announce to the world you love your younger brother.
…Which part of you has gone nuts? I won't even confess one on one. Confess to the world?!
Speechless. Just speechless.
5. Pass an anonymous message over to Sasuke, saying how much he loved him.
Bingo.
He knew his brother will recognize his writing which was the point. Sasuke knew who the writer was but not anyone else. Which saves him the embarrassment.
Anonymity + Recognize = No Embarrassment
Itachi's just the best.
Haha, yes! Finally. Done. :D If you are a nice person, you would hit the review button, yes you would. :D :)
