o0 Chapter 9 - A Gambling Problem 0o
"Ha!" Naruto grunted, slamming down the Y button on his controller.
"Oh, you like close combat, eh?" Sasuke taunted. "Well then get ready for my... beam sword!"
"Shit..." Naruto cursed under his breath as his screen went black and bloody letters dripped down spelling out the words "Game Over".
"Hah, beat you again!" Sasuke announced as big green Flashing letters came over his screen and the T.V. shouted "Winner!".
"Damn it." Naruto cursed again.
"Now I get to take your game! I already took your girl, your ramen, your spirit, and crushed your heart. I wonder what else I can take?" Sasuke laughed in a mocking tone. Very Unlike him. "Your life?"
Black. All Naruto saw was blackness, until a drop of ruby ran down his vision.
"SASUKE!!!" Naruto shouted, sitting up in bed. Beads of sweat were rolling down his face, and he just knew that something bad was going to happen the following day, but hey: Naruto's been wrong before. Although he's been right to....
Knock. Knock.
"Mmm..." Naruto mumbled, rolling out of bed with a thump on the floor. He groggily climbed to his feet with the help of his bedside table and hobbled out of his bed room, down the hall and to the front door.
The half-asleep blonde opened the door and leaned on it, his vision to blurry to tell who was on his doorstep.
"Are you just going to stand there in a daze or let me come in, dobe?" Sasuke demanded.
"Oh, Sasuke. Sorry. Come in..." his voice trailed off into light snoring. How many ways can Naruto fall asleep?
"Hm..." Naruto grumbled, finally deciding to get out of bed. He glanced at his clock it read "4:27".
Upon entering the living room Naruto was confused when he saw Sasuke sitting on his sofa reading a book and sipping a glass of lemonade.
"Uh... Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah?" Sasuke replied, not looking up from his book.
"Why are you in my house?"
"You said I could come in."
"I did?" Naruto was more confused than ever.
"Yes, you did just before falling asleep on the door. I hope you don't mind I put you back in bed and made myself at home."
"Huh?" Oh, so confused.
"Sit. I'll cut to the chase." Sasuke finally set down his book and gestured to one of the nearby armchairs.
Naruto sat, still confused.
"I need advice."
"W-what...?" Naruto stuttered, never in a million years would Sasuke come to him for advice unless he was seriously ill, or the problem threatened his very life. Which surprisingly was.... Never.
"I need advice, now don't be dumb. How do you ask out a girl?"
"You came to me for... love advice?" Naruto stared at Sasuke in disbelief.
"Yes."
How could he not be ashamed of this? "Um... you get them alone then just ask them casually if they'd like to go out sometime... I guess..."
"That's it?"
"Yeah... I guess... I've never really done it before..." Naruto admitted.
"Then how were you dating Sakura?!" Sasuke demanded.
"She kind of threw herself at me the first time, then she asked me out."
"You're so... Lame."
"Coming from you that's a compliment."
"Whatever. You're no help." He got up and began to leave.
"Wait. Why were you asking me about asking a girl out anyway? Since when do you worry about those sorts of things? I thought you wanted nothing to do with girls and dating, yet all of a sudden you come to me, who you never come to for stuff, and ask for advice on asking out the other sex?" Naruto asked, hitting Sasuke's weak spot right smack dab in the middle; where it's most painful.
Sasuke stopped, just a few feet from where he had been sitting. "..."
"You like a girl, don't you?" Ow. "Someone close-by." Ouch. "Someone you can't have." Stop it! "Someone who wanted you." Please! "Who doesn't want you now, so you want her." It hurts! "You like Sakura, don't you?" You're killing me... "No. You love Sakura."
Sasuke's body stiffened as he turned to face the ANBU kitsune. "You're one to talk. You're in love with Hyuuga Hinata."
"That's not the same. I do not deny my love for her. I've liked her for a while now. You, you just all of a sudden discover an "I'll die for her" love overnight. You're the one who shouldn't be talking."
"..."
"Here: Since neither of us know anything about getting our girl, I'll make you a bet."
"I'm listening." 'Tomatoes?' Sasuke thought.
"Whichever of us gets our girl first buys the other something. What would you want?"
"Five baskets of fresh tomatoes from the Country of Mist."
"Oh, that'd be hard to get... Then I would want an all I can eat ramen dinner at Ichiraku's. All I can eat."
"You've got a deal."
"Damn it all...." Sasuke cursed, slamming his fist down on the table, nearly cracking it in half.
'You should just stop destroying the house and ask her out.' Inner Sasuke recommended in a tone that made Sasuke feel like he as the stupidest creature on the face of the planet.
'I'm going on a walk.' Sasuke thought, trying to ignore his inner self's comment.
'Suit yourself. You're letting the one girl that's ever and will ever truly love you.' By this time Sasuke was already out the door and was walking towards the Konoha forest.
'Shut up. You don't know anything.'
'And what makes you think you know anything either, baka?'
'I don't think I know anything about this stuff.'
'Oh yeah right. The forest has always been the place you go to think when you're perplexed about something you think you should know or you think you know but really don't.' Unfortunately, Inner Sasuke was right. Ever since childhood Sasuke loved to take walks in the forest to calm himself or try and straighten things o ut within himself; this was no exception to that tradition.
'...' Sasuke stayed silent until they reached the edge of the forest when he began jumping at high speeds from low tree branch to tree branch.
'Y'know, you should just shut up about the whole matter.'
'And why should I do that?'
'Because it's none of your business.'
'None of my business?'
'Yeah.'
'Don't forget, your business is my business.'
'Why's that?'
'I am you.'
'...'
'So just stop trying to get rid of me.'
'Hmph.'
'So, what're you going to do to get Sakura before Naruto gets Hinata?'
'I don't know.'
'How 'bout you just walk up to her and ask her out?'
'...'
'What? It's simple: easy to remember.'
'It's stupid. Sakura hates me, she'd just coldly push me away like I've done her.'
'You're stupid, y'know that?'
'Don't insult me!'
'Why not? You're being stupid!'
'I am not! I'm thinking things through!'
'Stupid.'
'SHUT UP!'
'Watch what you're-!'
Oops. Sasuke had been too busy fighting with himself to pay attention to his chakra control and he had released too much chakra, which made his body zoom backwards and to the ground.
Hitting the ground at such a high speed knocked the wind out of him, and by the time that he could catch his breath he stood and felt woozy.
He cringed when pain surged through his right arm. He looked to find a liquid dripping down his arm from just below his shoulder.
Crimson.
