Nevertheless- a Sasunaru/Narusasu fanfic

Chapter 4 - Naruto

      I knew I really shouldn't swear, but my brain was screaming, 'WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED?' This was the last thing I really would not have expected to happen. Sasuke's normally pale face was tomato-red and he was gagging. I could see each and every girl's face either traumatised, jealous or plain out crying. Sakura included. I felt a small tinge of disappointment, realising that I had truly never meant anything to her.

     Oh, well. It wasn't as if anyone else really cared in basically all of Konoha. Except for Master Iruka, of course.

     Seriously. I really didn't understand why anyone would get so mad about Sasuke kissing anyone. Honestly, how would Sasuke, an emo idiot who hated everyone (yes, I mean everyone), become a heartthrob?

     ...Well, I might have understood why. And I hated him for it.

     He had the top grades in our class, something I had never even gotten close to becoming. (There, I admitted it, alright?) Plus, the baka was pretty good-looking. And he never had the misfortune of having a nine-tailed fox in him (or whatever it was.)

     I hated him because he was just so effortlessly good at anything he did, while I really tried my best with everything.. And got zero results. You heard me, zero results. Nothing. Nil nada.

     It was ironic, and rather funny, had I never been a victim of Sasuke's mouth. I couldn't even find an explanation for why I never pulled away in the first place!

      Could it be.. That I enjoyed it?

     It wasn't an unpleasant experience, and I thought there was some tongue-ing of some sort, which sounds very weird but was strangely... nice?

      No. I was straight, and besides. I liked Sakura. Obviously Sasuke would be more rational and like someone else, right?

     I didn't like Sasuke. That was a fact.

     And no matter how pleasant or interesting that interaction was, I didn't like him.

     "And now I will announce the three-man cells!" the instructor cried, the classes' chatter quieted and I sat up.

     'I'll take Sakura and anyone else- except Sasuke!' I thought. The most EMBARRASING thing that anyone could possibly imagine happened today. I hoped the instructor would be merciful for once.

     "Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura.." the instructor called out, and I grinned; jumping out of my seat. Sakura as moodily slouching, her long pink hair drooping. Sigh.

     "... And Uchiha Sasuke!"

     ..To which my excitement quickly morphed into utter disappointment, while Sakura, quite heartened, began batting her long eyelashes at Sasuke.

     As usual, the duck-butted imbecile was indifferent and completely uninterested in the fact that he was now a genin. One of the best, although I hated to admit it.

     It was probably the fact that he didn't look like he was even listening that really ticked me off....

     ..And what made it worse was when Sasuke muttered, "Just don't.. Let me down.."

      Standing up, I shouted shrilly, "Instructor! Why would you put such an obviously amazing ninja like me be paired with an imbecile like HIM?!" while pointing my index finger (not my middle one, don't get any ideas) at Sasuke's stupid, perfect, deck-butted head.

     I immediately regretted announcing that, because the class started snickering again. The instructor included, and my inevitable, annoying answer to that rather impulsive question was, as usual, "Sasuke is at the top of that class, and you, Naruto- You're at the very bottom!"

      My face was probably red hot like a tomato as, for the trillionth time, I was humiliated. AGAIN.

      But there was no time to waste. I was going to prove myself to everyone, this whole village. Iruka-sensei. And most of all, Uchiha Sasuke..

     ...Dattebayo!
