On with the present...

Awkward Meeting

Sasuke’s POV.

I just heard that Gaara-san came back. How do I know? I’m telepathic! *cough* Okay…I’m not so much. A servant just came and told me while Naoko-san was changing. But I could be magic if I wanted too…

“Sasuke? Are you still there?” Naoko-san said from the next room.

“Yes?” Wonder what she needs.

“Where did *my* clothes go?” She asked. She has no clothes? Okay, got a mental image! Better stop it! But it’s a good image. Hmm.

“What…do you mean? I’m sure that your clothes are supposed to be there. The servants took them here.” I told her.

“Well…There *are* clothes here, but not mine!” She yelled, “I looked through all of them, but it’s other people’s clothes!!” This really confused me. Were we in the wrong room? But I know this is supposed to be her room. What the…?

“They gave you new clothes, Na-chan,” Shikamaru-san answered, “ I overhea-…I was told to tell you.” He sounds very suspicious to me. I don’t trust him! Wait! I never *did* trust him. Silly me!

“But why?! I like my other clothes!” She whined, “Even though they were not really mine…” She muttered the last part, and I don’t think I was supposed to hear that, but I did. Wonder what’s she’s talking about? Oh well, she probably just said what she meant wrong.

“I’m guessing that they are gifts and you’ll never ever see your other clothes for the rest of your life.” I told her.

“Well that sucks!!” She whined, “ I…liked mine.” She had an odd face when she said the last part.

“Surely you can get used to your new clothes. You should hurry up because lunch will be served soon,” I assured her. And I just realized that I never ate breakfast. I guess that explains my increased hunger.

“Fine, I’ll just grab something and change!” She said quickly. I guess she is hungry too.

I also hope Gaara-san will not be at lunch. We have never got along; he’s too stuck up for me. He will probably tease Naoko-san, which will not go well for me. He always does that to my new friends. I just had a thought.

“Where did you meet Naoko-san, Shikamaru-san?” If I remember, she has being everywhere and would meet many people. Shikamaru-san looked like he just woke up from the spot he was sitting in. He looked at me with an annoyed expression.

“Oh you know, here and there,” he answered with a lazy tone. That bastard! He loves to piss me off, doesn’t he???

“I don’t recall asking in what general areas you met her. I asked where you exactly met her, like in what land?” I guess I need to be direct with this bastard otherwise he won’t answer me.

“That is something you do not need to know. Unless you have a great reason for wanting to know,” the lazy fool answered and tried to go back to sleep. I really don’t like this guy. I wonder how he got to be friends with such a lovely person like Naoko-san anyway.

“I like to know where my servants have worked previously before they came here.” I say sarcastically. It’s my hobby to ask this of servants, I get a big kick out of it. Knowledge is power.

“Too troublesome. I worked for Minato and Kyuubi Kitsune before they pa- disappeared. That enough info for you?” he said. Looks like he won’t say anymore, but I’m stubborn when I want to be. I won’t let him win this war!!!

“How did they disappear?”

“…” He doesn’t want to say anything. Why? Damn, he’s disobeying me!!!

“I thought it would be nice to know since I want to know more about my future wife.” I say. Shikamaru-san looked very amused with what I just said. In fact, he’s chuckling. I don’t see anything wrong with saying who I’m going to marry.

“I’m sorry, but it’s not for me to say. You should ask Na-chan yourself.” Shikamaru-san said slowly standing up. I hate how he calls her that, but since they are best friends, it’s understandable. But I’m still not happy. See, I’m not smiling, which means I’m not happy.

“Ask me what?” Naoko-san walked in with curiosity. She’s too cute! But I don’t think she will answer me either. Naoko-san had decided on a dress that was sky blue that brought out her eyes a lot. She left her hair down and had a cloth tied around the top of her head. I was left speechless. I want to jump her right now! But that would be very inappropriate. I would probably be slapped again too.

“I was wondering if you would like ramen for lunch.” I said quickly. Dumb question, but first thing I thought of. Shikamaru-san opened the door quickly, which is odd I think.

Her face started to glow with happiness. “I love ramen! I can’t get enough of it! Makes me want to have it all the time! Ah! I can’t wait to eat it all!” She quickly grabs my arm and pulls me out of the room. I never saw her like this before. My face gets all red from her grabbing my arm like that. She stops and looks at me.

“Sasuke-kun?” She asks me looking all innocent. I can’t look at her directly, or I’ll pounce on her and I would rather not do that in the middle of the hallway, and with her best friend watching, so I keep walking.

“Sasuke-kun?” I look the other way so I could resist her cuteness. It’s like an attack of some sort!!!

“Sasuke-kun, if you keep ignoring me, I will never forgive you!” She says angrily. Uh oh, I do not want that again. But she seemed to forgive me quickly, last time.

“Yes? Do you need something?” I asked her right away.

“You do realize that I have no idea where we are going,” she says looking around. I never even realized that we were walking in any direction. We were heading towards the rooms that belong to the guests who are staying here for an extended period of time. Kiba-kun and the others stay here, but the other person who also stays here is-

“Sasuke-kun, who’s that?” Naoko-san asks quietly. She just expects me to know everyone here! I look to see who she referred to when I see him. I wish I didn’t see him. He is the one person I hate more than Naruto!!! Okay, I hate other people, but these two people are the ones I hate right now!!!

“Gaara-san, I have not seen you in some time.” I say with irritability. I can’t even stand the sight of him! He turns with a bored expression. Okay, he always looks like that, but he looks like that right now. Which annoys me.

“Yes. What a pleasant surprise this is to come across Sasuke-sama. I could not be more ecstatic,” Gaara-san said with such a serious expression. I can tell he is being sarcastic. He always manages to piss me off with his first sentence. My fists are clenched. I don’t want him to see me pissed off because he will feel some satisfaction in that. And he does not deserve that in the slightest!

“Eh? Sasuke-kun, do you have relations with this man?” My teeth were clenched and I didn’t want to answer. I will never admit Gaara-san is an acquaintance! I don’t even want to admit I know him!

Naruto’s POV

Sasuke is not answering me. He must dislike this scary man. This man has no eyebrows and is wearing a lot of make-up around his eyes! What kind of person does such a weird thing? And what is that tattoo? Sasuke has such weird friends! Well, that would make sense since he is weird too!

“Are you the girl everyone talks about? You are not as pretty as I thought you would be.” Scary guy says looking at me. It feels like he is staring me down. I can’t stand it! And he is rude as hell!!!

“What the hell?! Who says such weird things to someone they never met before?! And I sure in hell don’t care if I don’t reach your pretty radar!!! Bastard idiot scary man!!!” I scream out in anger. When I get angered, I always say strange things. I want to kill this guy so much! But that wouldn’t be good, so I should get away. I just turn around and start to storm off when scary guy says something that makes me flinch.

“No girls are ever like that that I know of. Are you sure you are not a guy in disguise?” he says with that serious face he seems to always have. I turn around with wide eyes and look at the guy, visibly twitching. I only spoke once! How?! What?! Where?! When!? Crap!!! This guy is psycho!!!

“…” What am I supposed to say when someone accuses something that is true? And am I that obvious?

“Leave her alone, you bastard! That is not a thing to say to any girl!” Sasuke yells. I jump, because I had forgotten he was still standing there. I can only stay silent. Did Sasuke know from the start and is just messing with me??? That bastard!!

“I’m sorry, I did not mean to offend anybody,” This guy said. He looks directly in Sasuke’s eyes and gives a slight smirk. “Is what you want me to say, isn’t it?”

“ You!” Sasuke stopped before he said anything else. I would be scary guy’s friend just because he doesn’t like Sasuke too, but he insulted me so I don’t really want to. Now that I think about it, I know Sasuke said this guy’s name, but I don’t remember… I should pay attention. People would say I have selective hearing.

“She doesn’t even deny what I said,” Scary guy says staring at me again. I just realized that he was right! Crap! My reaction is not what a true girl would do at all! I have to do something to fix this! But what? I don’t know what to say!!!

“Well, I… not….supposed to talk back…and…” Well that’s a good excuse! I’m being sarcastic. I only just talked back to him a couple minutes ago! I’m so smart, bleh. He’s still staring at me. I can’t stand it! It makes me feel restless.

“…Okay,” he says looking away, “we are late to lunch, anyway. Should we not hurry?” Scary guy asks. Oh yeah! Lunch! Ramen! Free ramen! Even better. I grab Sasuke’s arm and start to pull on him. He’s glaring at scary guy so he doesn’t want to budge! I really really want to eat because I never ate all day! Damn testosterone!

“Sasuke-sama, I want to eat now!” I say with eagerness. Ramen! I want my ramen! But dumb guys of course. They are only glaring each other down! It feels like they are glaring at each other for me or something, but who would do such a thing for me! Also, wasn’t scary man the one to suggest we go eat lunch? He’s silly for not listening to himself! Dumb Sasuke, he said he would feed me!

“Sasuke-kun, you liar!!! You said you would feed me! You’re such a liar! And I hate liars the most!” I say in a really girly voice. I hate it, but it’s gonna catch Sasuke’s attention. Well, at least I hope so, I even said kun like we’re friends! I just hope he doesn’t get mad about that! I was right and he looks at me in surprise. Eh? He has such a strange look in his eyes, does he hate me now? I hate you too!!!

“I’m sorry! How about we head down right now then?” Sasuke says smiling, more like he’s glowing! I still find that strange to see. Scary man looks slightly surprised at what he is witnessing. I know exactly how he feels. It feels like a flower is dying right about now.

“Sounds good, but you better not ignore me again! Or I will really hate you!” I say pouting. I think I’m getting a little too comfortable acting like a girl. Better stop before I always act like this. Now that I think about, where the hell is Shikamaru-kun? I look around to find him nowhere near the area. That’s odd. He probably knew where we were supposed to go and headed there himself. He totally left me to fend for myself! I will never forgive him!

Anyway, we are starting to walk to wherever we are supposed to. I still don’t know, but as long as food is there, I’m fine. Sasuke’s taking me around a few corners before he stops suddenly. I look up at him because there’s no food around. Did he also get lost? It’s his own mansion too!

“I, um, need to go to the restroom so I will be right back. Wait right here please,” he says with such a red face. Ew, I never wanted to hear anything weird like that! But I guess nature calls. You can never stop nature.

“Ah, um, okay. I will wait here. But you better hurry back, because I’m still hungry!” I say with determination in my eyes! At least I think there is, I don’t know, I can’t look in my own eyes. Sasuke gets my point anyway. He quickly nods and goes through a door. That’s when I realize that someone is behind me. I quickly jump back to face my opponent. It’s scary man. Oh yeah, I forgot that he would also be heading to the lunch room. He’s giving me a weird look and I’m feeling some weird vibes right now.

“Are you really this dense?” he asks me. Glaring is the only weapon I have right now. I don’t like to deal with this guy. He’s too scary for me! And now’s he’s getting a little too close for my comfort and still getting closer!!! “You’re lucky Uchiha is so oblivious to the fact that you are male. Do not try to deny it.”

“How do you know?” Is he psychic? I did nothing that would reveal my original form!

“I understand gender behaviors, and you are male. It’s too easy to see for me. You must be using some sort of jutsu to hold it. I can also sense a high chakra level within you. It is very strong that even an Uchiha would not sense it, but I can since I was looking for it.” Wow, did not expect him to speak that much. Also didn’t really understand what he said. Oh well, basically he knows about me and that’s not good.

“So what are you going to do about it?” I asked. I think that if he even tells Sasuke that Sasuke would not believe him. They have that sort of relation. “And what is your name anyway?” I have to ask or I will forever call him scary man and that’s weird, even for me.

“Call me Gaara-kun,” he answered. When did we get so close? “It will piss off Uchiha.” Oh I get it, but why would Sasuke be pissed off? Anyway, Gaara is stepping toward me, in response I take a step back. This keeps happening till I’m up against the wall. Not good for me. What is Gaara planning to do? Beat me up?! He can do it too I’m guessing! Aah! Somebody help me!!!

“I like you. You are not frightened of me, which is a first. I think you will be entertaining to have around.” What is he talking about?! I’m not a circus! How insulting! And he’s so confusing!

“I don’t understand.” When I say that he pins my arms tightly that it hurts! I should have run for it when I had the chance! Gaara’s lips are pressed onto mine all of a sudden! Ahhhhhhh, I struggle, but it’s useless! I can’t get away!!! I wish this female form was stronger!! I’m weak! Nooooo! Not cool!! I’m being kissed by a guy and it’s my first!!!! Stupid pervert!

“Won’t you go back into your original form? I can’t stand females,” Gaara says, licking my neck!!! I hate him the most! I’m being molested by a mad man!!

“Get off me, bastard!!!” I yell. I’m trying to push him off, but these arms are useless!! They’re only for decoration!! And where the hell is Gaara’s hand going…?

“I told you to call me Gaara-kun,” Gaara said as his hand goes between my legs. I think my body has gotten numb. It feels like an out of body experience. I’m watching him almost rape me!

I kept struggling when I heard a scream. Gaara stops and looks in the direction of the scream. I shove him away quickly. I looked to see who caught me in a questionable position. It didn’t look good for me cause it was Sakura-chan.

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt! I was totally in my own world when I suddenly saw the both of you!” She then noticed who I was. “ Nao-chan?! Was it really you doing such things with Gaara-sama?!”

I don’t know what to say, I’m speechless at the ridiculous thing she just said! I need to deny it!!! But no sound is coming out of my mouth. What the hell??

“That’s so awesome for you cause you totally liked him since forever!!! I need to tell the others about your good luck!!” She squealed. And I’m trying to figure out what she just said. This Naoko liked Gaara, or I will now say bastard, since forever?! Ew! That’s gross! Bastard raised an eyebrow at what Sakura-chan just said. He’s looking at me with curiosity.

“No! It isn’t what you think it is! It’s all a misunderstanding!” I scream out. Him as a lover creeps me out. Now Sakura-chan looks very confused.

“But you were just kissing him. How can anyone misunderstand that! Unless you want to keep it a secret! I love secrets! I’m awesome at keeping them!” Sakura-chan squeals even more. I might as well go along. I just don’t want Sasuke to find out. Who knows what he will do to me and Gaara. Actually, I don’t care what happens to Gaara!!

“My lips are sealed!” Which is good for me! The Bastard doesn’t say anything. I guess he doesn’t care.

“Why are your lips sealed?” A new voice speaks. I literally jump. I hope the person didn’t hear the conversation! And I hope it isn’t someone I know!

“Sorry Kakashi-sensei, my lips are sealed, I can’t tell you!” Sakura-chan said, putting her finger against her lips. She was giggling.

“I don’t understand, but okay.” Kakashi-san responds. I realize that I’m still next to the bastard and I quickly walk next to Kakashi-san so I can feel safer.

“Anyway, I’m hungry so I’m going ahead, see you there Nao-chan!” Sakura-chan says as she starts to walk away. “And play nice to Gaara-sama!” She yells back. She’s terrible! Secret my ass!

“I certainly wasn’t doing anything to Gaara, that bastard.” I mutter out. I wrap my arms around myself so I could feel safer. I didn’t realize that Kakashi-san had heard. He looked over to the person mentioned.

“What were you doing to Naoko-san, Gaara-san?” Kakashi-san asks with curiosity, but I we all could hear the deadliness in it. I shiver a little. I don’t want him to know or he will tell Sasuke!!!

“Welcoming her to the Uchiha household,” he answers and walks away. That bastard!!! I could kill him with my bare hands!! That kind of welcoming should be illegal!!!

When the bastard, turns a corner and get out of sight, I let go of my breath which I was holding. I never want to be near that man again. I wish this punishment was over. It hadn’t even been a day yet!

“Are you okay, Naoko-san?” Kakashi-san asks me. He looked very worried. It looked like he wanted to comfort me, but with what just happened, he doesn’t. He probably guessed the gist of what happened.

“I will be okay,” I answer. I’m still shaky, but I think that’s to be expected after that terrible event.

“That’s good. May I ask where Sasuke-kun is at this moment?” Kakashi-san asks. I look to the door where Sasuke went through. As if commanded, he came out the door. I just realized that Sasuke took forever in the restroom! What was he doing this whole time?

“Had fun jacking off?” Kakashi-san asks. Okay… So did NOT want to hear that. Images in my mind!! Ahhh! Although that would explain the foreverness. Ewww…

“I did no such thing,” Sasuke glares. I’m still seeing the images. I can’t look at Sasuke or I will blush even more. He looks at me and smiles.

“Ready for lunch?” I only can nod. I feel so exhausted from the recent event, and I also feel very vulnerable. I have never felt that before in my life, so it’s a new thing for me.

Without me realizing it, Kakashi-san and Sasuke-kun had a secret eye conversation. I don’t know how that would work out, but they understand each other anyway. Sasuke looks at me.

“Are you alright?” he asks with worry in his voice. I’m surprised and don’t know what to say. I don’t want him to be worried. I should since he took forever! But I won’t.

“Ah. Yes, I’m fine. Don’t need to worry about me!” I say, waving my hand up and down. He doesn’t believe me, but I’m thankful when he doesn’t question any further.

We head off to lunch, which I hope will make me feel better. But what am I talking about. Ramen always makes me feel better! Well, I least I hope so…

TBC…

Thank you for still reading! It means so much to me! :D I feel so honored!
