|✔|Konoha Academy's Betrayal |Sakura x Kiba|

43.) Bros Before... ya Know

I lay on my bed with my ear buds in with my I-Pod cranked up. Ever since I fought with Inuzuka I have been in a foul mood. So much that I have taken on Sasuke's approach on life. Hn.

Skrillex pumps in my ears as I stare at my ceiling. I haven't really spoken to anyone after Sakura that night. Not Sasuke, not even my own parents really. I have ignored everyone in my life, more so after I tried to talk with my mom about my problems. It hadn't helped. I'm still pissed, and hurt, but more pissed. Actually I'm pissed that I don't know what the hell I'm feeling to be honest.

I hate myself for putting Sakura in the position I did. I made her cry...and knowing that I caused her pain kills me. I have no idea how to apologize for that, and the longer that I wait the closer I see her and Inuzuka get. I close my eyes and try to stop thinking about how I messed up everything up with Sakura. The more I think about it all, the more pissed I get at myself, at Sasuke, at Inuzuka. No wonder why I have pushed everyone away. I've been obsessing.

Because I have my music up so loud I don't hear the knock on my bedroom door, or the voices. I jumps when a hand pokes my stomach. "What the hell!" I shout as my eyes fly open and Sasuke, Gaara, and Sai come into focus.

"That is the most you have said in two months." Gaara says, his face as dull and emotionless as his tone.

Sasuke glares over at Gaara. "Don't be rude. He won't talk if you are." He scolds in his normal deep stoic voice.

Sai smiles at me. "I'm glad that you are feeling good enough to talk today Naruto." He says kindly.

I stare at my friends who are standing in my room. I have little doubt that my mother and father have something to do with this. Just like my mother, wanting to cheer me up. She has no idea what I am going through though. I feel bad though because I'm sure that she is worried about me.

Sasuke sighs. "See I told you." He scoffs shoving his hands in his pockets and groaning. "How are we supposed to help you if you won't tell us why the hell you've decided to go mute?" He asks angrily.

Personally I feel he has no right to come into my bedroom, scare the crap out of me, and then get angry at me for something that he couldn't possibly understand, something he didn't understand two months ago when I confessed my feelings towards Sakura. If I point that out though he wins.

"Perhaps it has to do with Sakura?" Sai offers to Sasuke thoughtfully.

Sasuke scoffs. "Sai I told you on the way over what was wrong. Were you even listening?" He inquires in a cool voice.

This seems like some kind of intervention they have planned, and I have a feeling that they aren't going to leave me alone until I spill. That or start snapping back to reality. I stare at Sasuke, wondering what could have possibly made him come to my house and try to cheer me up when he hasn't spoken to me in months.

"Why are you guys here? If this is a sappy friend intervention I'm not interested." I grumble at them. It's not my normal cheerful voice but it will have to do for now.

Sai smiles while Sasuke smirks. "He speaks." Gaara says with the faintest of smiles on his lips.

"Well of course. He can't shut all three of us out at the same time." Sasuke retorts in an all knowing voice.

I scoff. "Don't flatter yourself. I chose to speak, you didn't force me." I say bored, looking over at my three friends. Seeing all my friends here in my room makes me feel a little less angry. I remember my mother's words about Sasuke and how she thought that he was giving me space to think things through, she must have been right. They care enough about me to come over and do this, it's an awesome feeling.

"Now that you are talking, we should go out and do something." Sai suggests cheerfully with a smile.

Both Gaara and Sasuke nod in unison. I groan knowing that even if I don't want to move from my bed that they will drag me out of the house to God only knows where. "That was the idea." Sasuke says with a chuckle, no doubt laughing at my response.

I sit up slowly. "Fine, but it better be good." I grumble. I throw my legs over the edge of my bed and standing. I really don't want to go out, but a small part of me is glad that I will have a distraction from my self-loathing. I stretch my arms and yawn loudly. "Okay, let's go." I say and follow my three friends out of my room. Let's get this intervention over with.
