Nobody's POV
Sasuke is annoyed about the fact that Sakura have that power right now to drag him to anywhere. He could cut this deal off right away and betray her that he won't even feel remorseful of but in this matter Sasuke is really grateful to her that he just can't bring himself to betray her.
Sakura was the only one who could find Naruto in the fastest way more quickly than anyone. Sasuke was so surprised that Sakura really helped him that time. Sakura is a bold girl who can be hated by everyone for her bitchy and blunt personality but Sasuke can't deny Sakura is really useful sometimes.
"For how long I'll have to do this?" Sasuke asks her. She replies fixing her gaze on those packets that are hidden well into her bag,"For a few days and it'll be over. I need your influence."
Sakura is selling drugs. She chuckles seeing Sasuke's face that shows how much annoyed he already is but is actually tied to his responsibility. She says,"Sorry Sasuke. I have to do it until my drunkard father dies. "
Sakura's father is a alcoholic. He wasn't like that from the beginning. They had everything, money, a big house, cars but lost everything eventually getting caught by the habit of gambling of her father. He became like that after the death of Sakura's mother and left no choice to Sakura except for doing this.
Sakura needs Sasuke's influence in this city. In a car sitting with Sasuke benefits her. Even no police moves forward to check her and her belongings whenever she's with Sasuke. Sasuke's small group is one of the biggest source of her income.
"You count like four times. Fuck off already." Sakura cursed feeling annoyed seeing the dimwit in front of her checking the packets over and over. The guy flinches and runs off clutching the bag against his chest like he had treasures in it.
Sasuke says,"One day, you'll end up going behind the bars." Sakura raises her eyebrow and says,"Uhm, are you worried about me?" Sasuke chuckles mockingly and says,"In your dreams." Sakura chuckles in response as well.
She says,"Don't worry. I'll get out even by letting those old officers fucking me right inside those dark cells. Worry about yourself, you've got worse people behind you that you can't even think of."
Sasuke says being confident of himself,"My eyes can tell the difference between my enemy and ally. I have nothing to worry about." Sakura doesn't say anything. She chuckles for the second time.
In the ride after some minutes of silence Sakura caught her thinking of Sasuke and Naruto's relationship. Sakura could tell from the very first that Sasuke has something special for Naruto. But she didn't bring herself to think that Sasuke could have romantic feelings for him.
Naruto was the most unpopular guy in the school back then who was labelled as an outcast. People would bully him, step on his pride or even hurt him physically. That'd happened if Sasuke wasn't in front of their sights.
But in Sasuke's presence nobody wouldn't have that courage to even talk to Naruto. Naruto was like Sasuke's possession that nobody could touch in front of him. But that was all. Naruto was like a lifeless thing, he could be someone's possession but it wasn't the same way to Naruto.
Naruto had no one that was completely 'his'. Sakura observed it all. She observed the person who was like an obstacle in her and Sasuke's relationship, the obstacle who didn't let her completely have Sasuke.
Sakura opens the small box that contains bubble gums with various colours inside it. She takes one in her mouth. She asks Sasuke who is fixated on his driving,"Do you love him Sasuke?" Sasuke heard that and he knows who she is talking about.
Sasuke replies,"Yes I do." Sakura knew the answer way before that. Sakura asks,"How did you become sure of it?" Sasuke sighs. He doesn't really want to answer her questions but knowing how persistent Sakura really is, he decides to answer. He says,"I just know, that without him I'll die."
Next day at school
Naruto doesn't like that Sakura is here with Sasuke again. He can't help but dislike the matter. Everyone is gawking at both of them and different rumours are already flying in the air.
In the parking lot they are already being seen by everyone like both of them are two damn celebrities who are dating each other. How can a school accept a stranger Inside the school campus like this? Even Itachi can come inside like this school belongs to him.
"They are dating." Naruro hears a girl's voice. Taking a look, Naruto sees Hinata standing beside him. Since when she's here? Her bangs are covering her forehead and the tattoo on her neck that looks cool on her showing. Naruto thinks why is she even talking to him?
She notices Naruto's gaze. She shrugs her shoulders and says,"What? That's what people are saying." Naruto moves his eyes and tells her like it doesn't matter to him,"I don't really care." She says,"That's good. Otherwise it'll be another one suffering for a guy like him."
Naruto asks her out of nowhere,"How is Neji?" She frowns. She says,"Why are you asking?" Naruto tells her,"No reasons." After being silent for some seconds she replies,"He's doing well. Father has decided to send us abroad."
Naruto is rather surprised. He asks,"Are both of you okay with it?" Hinata replies,"Why wouldn't we? Actually I never had any problems with leaving this shitty school anyway. My brother is the one who was always against it."
Naruto didn't have any other words to utter. Hinata says,"This school gave us nothing. However, they look good together." Hinata points to Sasuke and Sakura who are being surrounded by people.
Naruto is annoyed once again. He has no right to be mad about and isn't even supposed to feel like this but he really doesn't have any control over his heart and mind. Naruto just wants to tear them apart.
Naruto says,"Why are you even saying these to me?" Hinata ignores what Naruto just says. She says,"Do you know what people are saying? They are saying...." She brings her face close to Naruto's ear and complete the sentence,"That they saw them kissing."
Naruto's eyes are wide apart. He looks at Hinata's face. Hinata is surprisingly smirking. Naruto is wondering if Hinata is just toying with him or she actually heard that rumour?
Rumours don't really come out of thin air. People must have saw something to assume such things or they really did kiss. Naruto is brainstorming over every possiblity. Naruto doesn't trust either of them.
Coming home Naruto shuts himself in Itachi's room. Naruto couldn't bring himself to go into Sasuke's room. Naruto takes his phone and calls Kakashi immediately asking him about the date of his arrival. Kakashi informed him that he'll be coming within a week.
Naruto is being paranoid once again. Naruto is afraid and everything is happening like he feared. Naruto fell in love with the same person again and the old things are happening again. Naruto won't be able to take it for the second time.
Coming home, Sasuke felt something is off. He thought Naruto didn't come home until he saw him coming out of Itachi's room. Why would he go into Itachi's room instead of Sasuke's? Sasuke didn't think of it as a big deal and decides to shrug it off.
"Did you eat something?" Sasuke asks Naruto who is quiet. Naruto replies coldly,"Yeah, I ate outside." Sasuke asks,"With whom?" Naruto replies,"With a friend." Sasuke doesn't like the cold silence. He thought the relationship between them developed even for a little.
Sasuke is trying to spice up the conversation. He's doing everything to cheer up the upset Naruto in front of him but Naruto isn't responding well. Naruto just doesn't feel like talking to the desperate boy in front of him who is trying to talk to him. He's too much afraid to get closer to him at this point.
The sound of the door of the apartment opening can be heard in the cold silence. Itachi is the one who came. He has a bag in his hand. He says,"I bought pizza." Naruto served it on the table while Itachi went to wash up.
Coming to the room Itachi notices his brother and Naruto sitting there in an awkward silence. Itachi breaks the silence by saying,"Did you fight or something? It's like cat got both of your tongues." Sasuke just rolls his eyes.
Itachi takes a seat on the chair and takes a slice of the pizza. He says to Naruto,"Do I have to stuff your face with this or you'll eat it by yourself? I can't deal with your uselessness right now." Naruto says,"Worry about yourself." Saying that he takes a slice of pizza.
Sasuke hears the heated conversation between his brother and Naruto. He realises the amount of words Naruto is spitting to his brother is much more than he was saying in front of him.
Naruto seems much more cheerful toward Itachi now than he was toward Sasuke. Naruto seemed like a dead fish awhile ago in front of Sasuke but now he looks a bit livelier. Sasuke is wondering about how Itachi is being able to make Naruto talk like that?
Sasuke was trying really hard but every time, he was being surprised with Naruto's coldness. Sasuke doesn't want to be treated like this from Naruto again. Sasuke is now jealous of his own brother for the first time.
