Can it be love: Chapter 2 (itasaku)

Chapter 21

Itachi's POV2

The clock was slower than ever. It was bad enough that Deidara was blabbering on about that pink haired chick that came in. Yes, I'll agree, she was VERY good looking. Everyone here including myself grew hard taking even a small glance at her, but does he have to go on about getting in her pants? I kept watching the clock, hoping the tick tick ticking would wash out Dei's voice.3

5...4...3...2...1. The bell rang right on time.4

"Damn, that girl that came in today. She. Was. Hot." Deidara said to me, making sure to emphisize the "t." Deidara was my friend, but he could get pretty annoying when it came to a girl he wanted. "Ya know, your not the only one who wants her." i mentioned to him. A smirk came across his face. I don't like the look of that smirk. "So you like her too, un?" I looked at him. Hell yeah, I liked her. She didn't have much to her, but her ass was like a golden apple for every male's eye. "What the hell kinda question is that?" i said. Deidara smirked over at me. "Well then, I see I get a good number of girls, and I've yet to see you with one. You can 'ave her, yeah." The blonde's smile grew wider while starring at me.5

My eyes glared into his. I didn't mean it that way, I just wanted him to shut up. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't mind that, but I didn't mean it like that. I was expecting him to get pissed and hush.6

"Yeah, if you want her, you can 'ave her. I understand your feelings." He said, now looking forward. "Heh," I chuckled, "I could get her even without you giving up." That seemed to hit him. "Oh really?" Dei said, all his cockiness gone. "Yep." is all i said. "I bet you couldn't!!!" Damn Deidara shouts loud. I rubbed my ear to ease my throbbing eardrum. 7

I was going to yell back,but somehting else caught my eye. We were outside the school, right where the cars would pick you up. The very girl that me and deidara were discussing about was there. she looked timid and nervous unlike when she entered D-hall. She appeared disgusted then. Now it almost looked like she was waiting for someone. 8

Then I noticed my little brother, Sasuke. he glanced towards me, making sure to give me the full on glare. he still hasn't forgiven me for what happened three years ago. I starred at nothing at all as the incident reeled in my head.9

"Sasuke! Sasuke!" I heard a high pitched voice say. Great, it was probably that annoying blonde cheerleader that deidara used to date. That slut, doesn't she see that Sasuke (and I) don't want her around? But when i looked up, I was met with a surpise. The pink haired girl that came in this morning was the one who was shouting. 10

I couldnt believe it. The chick... wanted my brother, my little brother. 11

Even fromm this distance, which it was hard for me to see, I could still tell that he turned her down. That got me thinking, she's probably hurt due to being turned down. I noticed her starring at me when she came for a visit in the classroom, so she must've remembered me, plus she didn't seem freaked out, it was more like she was flattered since she was blushing. I could say I'm his brother and that I was sorry for his actions, bla bla, get aquainted. Then as a small friendship starts, I could ask her out and the as that progresses, maybe I could get some... other things. She seems to be Sasuke's age. Girls her age are so easy, I wouldn't be surprised if she gave in on the first week. The plan was perfect! Not even playboys like Deidara could figure it out in time.12

You know what, Deidara?" I said, turning to him. "I'll take you up on that bet." Dei's face looked confused as I walked over towards the lovely female.13

She starred at the ground, giving the appearance that she was hurt, like I expected. "Hello." i said. i guess I must've startled her for she jumped. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! i just saw what happened and came to apoligize for Sasuke's rude behavior." Hopefully, I wasn't playing it too hard. 14

"Um...who are you?" She asked cautiously. She must've never had a random guy come up out of the blue and talk to her. "I'm sorry," I apoligized, "I didn't introduce myself. I'm Itachi Uchiha." I held my hand out which gladly she took. "Sakura Hurano." she answered. I smiled, shaking her hand at the same time. "That's a lovely name. But anyways," i spoke, wanting to get back on track, "I'm sorry for Sasuke's rude behavior. You see, I'm his brother and he''s going through some rough times. Just be paitient, he's bound to come around." That's it. Appear as a friend, wanting to aid her through an impossible relationship. "Oh, I see." her head dropped down. She must really care for him. i can't see how. I mean, she is smoking andhe turned her down. She damn sure looks better than that Ino chick. No offense, but i sometimes wonder if my brother is gay.15

"Weren't you in D-hall?" she asked. I looked at her face and noticed a pair of livid green eyes that was placed perfectly into her skull. So not only did she have a nice ass, but she had eyes I could use to lie about when I starring at something I shouldn't be. Green, I've got to remember her color.16

"Well, yes." I answered uneasily. Her face scruntched up. "well, why should I be talking to you?" I looked her dead straight in the eye, trying my hardest to keep a straight face. "Just because most of the 'men' in there are unitelligible, doesn't mean that all of us are." 17

Her eyes grew wide as she dropped her head. It was hard, but I managed to hear her mumble an apoligy. Now, she kept trying to look at me in the eyes, but only for a second before she dropped them again due to embarressment. Cute. I'm starting to think that this might be alittle easier than I intended.18

"Look, it's alright." I asured her. I didn't want her to be embarressed. If she did, the entire plan could be ruined. "I understand, when you meet someone that spends his entire time in D-Hall, you can't help but to jump to conclusions." "Still! I shouldn't have. I'm really sorry." she stammered.19

I chuckled. She was the type that liked classy boys, but then how the hell did she like Sasuke? Oh well, what does it matter? She looked up to meet my eyes, her glassy orbs holding suspision. "Well then, why are you in detention, anyways?"20

I guess I'd have to be honest if I wanted a chance with her. I know that even now, she was analyzing me up and down. Hey, she likes the gentleman figure (though Sasuke is no where near one. What the hell?) and gentlemen are honest no matter how bad it looks on their image, and if it just so happens that she has a deep interest with bad boys, then that'll work too. In my eyes, either way is a win-win solution. 21

"Well, I'll be honest with you. I got in a fight alittle while ago. This one guy wouldn't leave me alone so I pushed him away. He didn't seem to like that very much and you can figure out the rest. I wanted to be a good example for Sasuke, trying to show him to stick up for himself, but it got out of hand. My defense turned to offense and here I am in detention for life." Now that did happen. It was just... four years ago. The real reason I was in detention was because I popped the football coach, Kakashi Hatake. But Sakura didn't ask for when or which one. 22

"Hmm. I guess that's a good reason." she said, her face relaxing abit, not all, but enough. "It's amazing really." I whispered, not so loud but just the right volume for her to hear. I think it was time to real in some bait. "What is?" Her confused face was amusing, but I had to keep that secret. "You're so young, but yet you act more mature than the seniors. I don't beleive I've met anyone quite like you." Her eyes widened at my comment. She turned her head down, blushing as red as a tomato. 23

I turned my head to see an irratated Deidara, standing with a pestered look on his face. I sighed while turnig to face Sakura. "I'm sorry, I promised that I'd give my friend a ride home. It was nice talking to you, Sakura." She nodded. "It was nice meeting you too...Itachi. It would be wonderful to talk to you again." She started to turn before I grabbed her shoulder lightly. "Hey, I don't see any cars and the buses have left already. Do you need a ride? I sure Dei up there would be alright sitting in the back seat." I asked. "Oh, no. I walk home. It's alright. I only live a few blocks away." She replied, smiling sincerely. "But thank you anyways." was the last she said before departing. 24

I met up with Deidara. He was blabbering in the background but I couldn't hear him. I was too busy watching a lovely lady walk off, a lovely lady I was bound to have.
