Chapter Twelve: Sakura’s Jealousy

　

　

We arrived together, Sasuke and I. Sakura and Naruto were here before we got there, but there was no sign of Kakashi. “’Bout time y’all got here.” Naruto pouted.

Seeing Naruto sent chills throughout my entire body. Not the ones Sasuke was able to give me, but the bad kind. I realized as I stood before Naruto, I was somewhat frightened. Trying to be subtle, I hid behind Sasuke. Thankfully, my blonde best friend didn’t notice, but Sasuke did. He, however, let me be. I could have kissed him, if the very thought of it didn’t repulse me.

Sakura kept her eyes glued on me; with such jealousy I’m sure she was turning an ugly shade of green. “What do you think you’re doing with my Sasuke?” If she wasn’t standing so close to Naruto, I’m sure I would have grabbed her by the hair, and thrown her into the river.

“Who says he’s your’s?” I bit back. Again, Sasuke wasn’t a piece of property for her to own. So why does she keep saying that? People like her piss me off. Or maybe it was just her.

Everyone waited for Sakura to make a witty comeback, but she just awkwardly stood there, going bright red in the face. Stupid Billboard Brow.

Resulting in her non-responsive self, we stood in an awkward silence. Seeing how no one really liked another, except for Naruto and myself, and at the moment I was too scared to talk to him. Which I found rather odd, wasn’t it just a dream? He was still the same ramen-loving boy I knew. But, I wasn’t so sure. Why did I feel like this?

When Naruto wasn’t looking at Sakura with hearts, and wasn’t glaring at Sasuke with hatred (which was only intensified, due to me hiding behind him), he was giving me a look mixed with curiosity and hurt. It hurt me to know that I was hurting him. I tried not to show how scared I was, and couldn’t bring myself to look him in the eye. What if his eyes were that same ugly blood-red color, like it was in my dream? Would I ever get over this nagging fear of Naruto? I felt horrible. Who could actually be afraid of their best friend?

“Why are you being so clingy to Sasuke?” Sakura asked. Oh, she finally found something to say. Not a very good comeback, but it hit a nerve. Me? Being clingy? To someone like Sasuke?

I laughed. My fear forgotten for the moment. She looked confused as to why I was laughing. I stepped out from behind Sasuke, and she gasped. Was there something on my face? My hands flew up, and tried getting whatever it was, off. That was, until she pointed to my torso.

No, I was confused. I looked down. Yes, I’m wearing clothes. Big deal. By the way she was acting; you’d think I was naked.

“T-that’s S-Sasuke’s sh-sh-shirt.” She stuttered. Oh. That’s why she was acting like that. I had totally forgotten I had decided to wear the Uchiha’s shirt, with my minor improvements, this morning. A smirk made its way to my lips. This is going to be fun. “So, it is.” I made sure to look at Sasuke while saying this. His face betrayed no emotion. “It even smells like him.” Sasuke averted his eyes and pretended that he wasn’t paying attention when Sakura’s eyes fell on him.

“Why does it smell like him?” she choked out. My smirk got even wider. “Oh? Don’t you know? Sasuke likes un-dressing me while I’m asleep, the next morning I wake up in his bed, with his arms wrapped around me.” Sakura was in a fit of tears, Naruto stared at me, dumbstruck, while my dear Sasuke glared.

Naruto looked like he was going to start yelling at Sasuke, but for some unknown reason, kept his mouth shout. Well, that was new. My body froze as I realized just how close he was. I must have moved closer to Sakura, when I was taunting her, thus moving me closer to Naruto. I was no longer protected behind Sasuke; I was out in the open, where he could get me. I probably sounded like a little kid talking about monsters under their bed, but that’s how I felt. Naruto looked like he could turn into that horrid beast at any given moment. My body was shaking with fear.

Naruto isn’t that monster. He’s not like that. He wouldn’t do that, he’s going to be Hokage one day, he wouldn’t kill the very people he has to one day, protect.

No matter how many times I told myself that, I didn’t believe it. I felt something grasp my upper arm, and was relieved to find it was Sasuke. “We need to talk.” He whispered, harshly. I nodded my head stiffly; glad to escape from the other two. Sasuke pulled me the opposite direction of Sakura and Naruto. “Yes?” my voice sounded bored, but my thanked him, for once again, saving me. “What the hell were you thinking when you told them what I did? Way to go. Make me sound as pervy as possible, why don’t ya?” His eyes were glaring, and his voice was low, making him ten times scarier than normal.

He was making me feel two inches tall. “I’m sorry.” I whispered. I was feeling close to tears. Yes, poking fun at Sakura was funny, but I couldn’t stand being scared of Naruto. I couldn’t have Sasuke looking down on me, too.

“No you’re not. You meant every word of it.” That made me mad. Was he playing the ‘I’m so much better than you’ card? Because he was fixing to get a rude awakening, I don’t play that game.

“Excuse me? Who are you to say what I feel? I was only telling the truth. I take my ‘sorry’ back. Go to hell, Sasuke.” I was so mad at him, and it didn’t help how his name just rolls off my tongue. It felt natural saying his name. And I hated it.

“Wait.” He grabbed my hand before I could walk off. “I’m just not use to this. I’m usually always alone, and then you suddenly made an appearance in my life. I’m sorry.” this made me freeze. Did Sasuke just say sorry? To me? That was so out of character. I turned to look at him. There was no trace of bitterness, but sincerity. He was truly sorry for saying those things to me. I was speechless, so I just nodded.

He gave me the faintest of smiles, not a real one, but a working progress. “Thank you.”
