Chapter 4: I Hate Sasuke

It was getting late and Sasuke and I had just left Ichiraku's Ramen Shop. I walked out with a smile and a stuffed belly.

"I ate so much it feels like I'm about to explode!" I shouted happily.

Sasuke stared at his empty wallet, upset with the sudden expenses he had to pay. He clicked his tongue and stuffed the wallet back into his pocket. "You actually ate 10 bowls of Ramen...are you even human?"

I smirked at him as I grabbed onto his cheek playfully. "Thanks Sasuke~"

He slapped my hand away and turned his face away from me. "Shut up, idiot."

I smiled at his reaction as we continued down the moonlit street. It was quiet and for the first time we weren't bickering with each other.

Watching the night sky as we walked towards my apartment, calmed me. It helped clear my mind from all the negative thoughts that controlled my brain, but as we passed each apartment complex, it brought back the reality of my unfortunate fate.

I was covered in ash from Sasuke's jutsu and my emotions were wreaked from today's turn of events. Knowing I had to live with the one person I hated the most, made my stomach turn. I felt as if I was betraying my best friend.

Sakura-chan should be in my place...

I glanced up at Sasuke and back towards the ground. I sighed heavily, and turned to ask Sasuke a question: "Hey Sasuke?"

"Hm?"

"We never decided on where we were gonna live."

He stayed silent, his expression never changing. He truly was unphased by our unfortunate situation.

We had finally reached my apartment and we stood in front of my complex. "I guess we can talk about the whole living situation tomorrow," I suggested as I yawned.

He nodded as he placed his hands inside his pockets.

It was silent and it was getting awkward again, quickly.

What the hell am I suppose to say?! This situation is just so awkward! Do I just say good night and bolt away or am I suppose to say something else??? Why am I overthinking so much today?!

I was overthinking everything and my face showed my complex expression. Suddenly, I was snapped out of my thoughts with a tap on my shoulder.

"Naruko..."

I looked at him with innocent eyes from his sudden tap.

"Get some rest and don't let this situation go to your head. Knowing you, you'll stay up all night overthinking like an idiot."

I clenched my fist at him as I heard him call me an idiot. "I swear, call me an idiot one more time and I'll knock your teeth out."

"Idiottt," he said mockingly.

I went to punch him but he quickly grabbed ahold of my fist. "We'll continue fighting tomorrow," he whispered softly into my ear.

My cheeks began to warm up from the sound of his voice. I tried to push him away with my other hand as my heart did that skipping thing again.

He looked at me with a smirk, letting go of my hand. "Night." He then turned away from me and began to walk away.

As I watched him leave, I crossed my arms in annoyance. That cocky jerk...I hate him...

I woke up the next morning to the sound of a knock at my window. I turned over to my side to see if that would magically make the noise go away, but it didn't. The noise got louder and louder until I couldn't bear it anymore.
