   Chapter 9: "That's something you REALLY don't see everyday!"
[Naruto]





   "Yahoo!!!" I'm on my way to Ichiraku's. I'm about 2 minutes away now. "Why does the high school and Ichiraku's have to be so far apart?" Oh well. The walk can be counted as my workout for the day. "Ramen. Ramen. Ramen. Ramen..." As I was chanting my favorite food, something caught my eye. It was some crazy idiot running for their life from a dog and a cat. You don't see that everyday.
   Wait a minute... I strained my eyes to see the lunatic more closely. "Is that...?" I couldn't believe it. It looked like the Sasuke bastard! I cracked down and started laughing my ass off! That's something you REALLY don't see everyday!

   "Ah~ I'm so full! You're ramen is still the best, Teuchi and Ayame!" I smiled as I patted my stomach. I love the Ichiraku Ramen Bar.

   I went home after eating out. It's sometimes pretty lonely here, since it's a fact that I live alone and have no parents. But it's alright, it's not like I'm going to die of loneliness, am I? Hehe... Right?
   Anyways... I did my nightly routine. Took a walk around the block, took a shower, got ready for bed, watched TV, got into bed, remembered the homework, got out of bed, and stayed up until midnight straining about the stupid, pointless homework that isn't even due until Monday. Yeah, that's basicly what happens every night.

   OK, so when I FINALLY got into bed, I began thinking about today. Hinata and Hiyori-san had asked me to go with them to a concert. I don't really listen to any of the bands that are playing, but it's a lot better than laying around all day. Plus, I'm going to be hanging out with two girls that I don't really hang around a lot. "I really wish that Sakura-chan was going with us..." I sighed. She's so cute, but really scary when she's mad. But, Hinata is cute, too, now that I think about it.
   'Hmm... and Hiyori-san is... uhh... different.' I thought. It's not that she's not cute. She has a nice body. I wonder... I started feeling drool on my chin as I thought about each of them in bikinis. I'm so happy that it's almost summer! "Dattebayo!"

   "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!!" I rolled over and almost broke my alarm clock again. I hated that thing.
   "Why don't you ever let me sleep a few minutes more?!" I yelled at the almost dead alarm clock. It's Saturday. I feel as if there's something I was planning to do today. What was it?
   I got up and did my morning routine. Brushed my teeth, rinsed my face, made breakfast which consisted of cereal and a piece of toast, then I got dressed and did morning exercises. When the day comes when I get in a fight with that Sasuke bastard, I'm going to make sure I win. I need to take a walk now...

   I've walked 3 blocks so far. Before I left, I checked the fridge and the cupboards to see how much food I had. I really needed to go get food.
   I turned the corner of the 4th block, which is where all the shops are. I spotted the grocery store and made sure I had my wallet, which was a little frog thing... I found it. I started walking across the street when I saw Hiyori-san looking in the window of a store with Hinata. I wasn't expecting that.
   "Hey! Hinata! Hiyori-san! What brings you here?" I called to them as I ran up to them. I like seeing people I know around here. It's a lot nicer than having people stare at me like I'm some kind of punk.
   Hinata's face began to turn red. 'I wonder if she's not feeling well today...' Hiyori-san waved to me with a big smile on her face. As I walked up to them, I high-fived Hiyori-san like she was one of the guys and she punched my shoulder. It hurt a little... I turned to Hinata.
   "So what brings you guys here, anyways?" Hinata's face began turning redder and she turned her head. Did I do something to her? Hiyori-san began speaking before my thoughts trailed off.
   "We were just looking around. I saw Hinata over by the park earlier and asked her if she wanted to go shopping with me. I already have what I need, so we're just looking around the shops and seeing if there's anything we want for tonight." Hiyori-san then pointed at shirt being held in a store window. "I thought Hinata would look good in that and we were just looking at it. The price isn't too bad, especially for someone who's apart of a very wealthy family." She looked at Hinata, who finally started talking.
   "It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I didn't bring money with me and I don't want you to pay." Hinata looked at me again before turning her head. I wonder if she was mad at me or something.
   Hiyori-san rolled her eyes. "I said that you can consider it as an early birthday present or something."
   "My birthday isn't until December!" Hinata looked like she was holding something back. She's got a lot of patience, she's really kind, too. I thought about it.
   "Hinata," I began, "do you like that shirt?" She stared at me, confused. Her face wasn't as red anymore, more of a pinkish red now.
   "W-well..." She put her fingers together like she always does when her face is red. "I.. umm... I-I'm not sure." She hid her face again. How could she not know if she didn't like it or not? Hiyori-san patted Hinata's shoulder then looked at me and mouthed 'Yes, she likes it' to me. An idea popped into my head.
   "Hey, Hiyori-san, could I talk to you for a moment?" I pulled Hiyori-san away from Hinata for a bit. Hinata looked confused and almost lost.
   "Hiyori-san... how much is that shirt?" Hiyori-san caught on right away.
   "3350 yen. I have the money for it, but I need that money for Ma-... Mom's medical money. Well... at least 2500 yen."
   "And so you need... uhh."
   "850 yen." She finished my sentence as I started counting on my fingers. I dug through my money and gave her 900 yen, just in case. She turned back to Hinata after telling me to hang out with her until she got the shirt.
   "Hey Hinata!" Hiyori-san called after her. "I'm really sorry, Naruto just reminded me about an errand that I have to run. Why don't you two go have a snack somewhere while you guys wait for me?"
   "U-umm.. O-Ok, Hiyori-san." Her face turned really red again.

   "Hey Hinata, let's go eat somewhere. Where do you want to go?" I've been walking around with Hinata for a while now. She hasn't said much, but it's been a little fun walking around with her. I've noticed that she can be really cute when she looks at things she likes. Like when she looked at an ice cream shop.
   "I-I don't know. Where do you want to go, N-Naruto-kun?" She tried sneaking another glance back at the ice cream shop. I think she was hoping that I wouldn't see that. I pretended to think about it for a bit, then pointed at the ice cream place.
   She smiled. "OK, let's go!" I took Hinata by the hand without thinking and pulled her across the street. When we got over to the other side, I looked at her and smiled. Her face was REALLY red.

   "Hey Sasuke-kun, is that Naruto? ... Oh! It is! Naruto!" Sakura called my name from the sidewalk as Hinata was handed her vanilla and chocolate (with sprinkles) ice cream cone. Her face was so cute.
   "Oh! Hi, Sakura-chan!" I acted like Sasuke didn't even exist at that moment. Then a thought crossed my mind. I leaned in and whispered to Sakura-chan. "Sakura-chan... why are you hanging out with that stupid bastard?" I saw a vein pop out of her forehead.
   "Naruto..." I gulped. I think I got her angry. "What did you just say about Sasuke-kun?" She looked at me and cracked her knuckles.
   "W-w-wait, S-Sakura-chan! I didn't mean to-"
   "Hey! I didn't think I'd find you guys around, too!" I think I was saved by Hiyori-san.
   "Hey, Hiyori, odd seeing you here? What's in the bag?" Sakura-chan turned and asked.
   "Oh... umm... just some stuff. So what're you guys doing here?"
   Sasuke answered that one. "I was just getting some groceries when Sakura came up and started tagging along."
   Sakura-chan nodded, smiling. "Yup! And I invited him to go to that concert tonight! Hinata, aren't you going to that as well?"
   Hinata nodded. "Yes, with Hiyori-san and Naruto-kun. So I assume that Sasuke is going with you?" Sakura nodded, still smiling. That damn bastard. I glared at Sasuke.
   "What do you want, dimwit?"
   "Oh nothing, it's just that I thought you didn't like girls, Sasu-"
   "Naruto... do you want to finish that sentence?" Sakura came up and grabbed me by the collar.
   "Go Sakura! I wanna' see somebody's ass kicked! Oh? Who is this babe with the weird hair?" Great... it was Denbe. He's one of the yankees at our school. He's been held back a few years... By the way, the "babe" he was talking about was Hiyori-san.
   "Back off her, Denbe." Both me and Sasuke said. We glared at each other again.
   "Oh? And what if I don't want to?" He put his arm around Hiyori-san. She twitched.

   This wasn't good.
