Chapter 15 – Posses your heart

Beep. Beep. Beep.

A groan could be heard as the person that lied on the bed slowly shuffled back and forth before slowly opening his eyes. The glint of the sun that invaded his window slightly annoyed him temporarily hurting his vision. He stood up guiding his feet at the edge of the before placing them down on the soft mat.

Running his hand through his hair, he rubbed his temple slightly he noticed that his body temperature seemed to be normal. His cold finally passed earning him a moan of relief finally he could go back to practicing with his team. Massaging his left arm as it felt a bit numb his eyes widen in realization, Hinata was with him yesterday she actually came and suddenly confessed her love again to him, he remembered their intimate moment and how he ever so politely and lovingly denied her advances since he was sick. He turned to his left and noticed a white folded paper on his nightstand. Taking the white paper in his hand and slowly opening it with anticipation.

"Sorry I just couldn't wake you up, what I said before I meant all of it. Remember the park where we used to have our playdates? Meet me there after school ok "

A small smile graced his lips momentarily before it was replaced with his toothy, bright and idiotic grin. He let the letter hit the floor as he slumped backwards hitting the bed with a loud thud. His wide refused to leaveh is face as it seemed to never go away.

He walked through the large corridor of his father's large mansion already dressed in his school uniform with his backpack hanging on his shoulders with only one strap supporting it while his other hand were on his pockets. His smile never went away as it surprised most of the maids and staff in the house. Most of them remember Naruto's laugh and smile when he was still a little child while running across these halls when Kushina was still alive and when Minato didn't drown himself in his work. But after the incident their young master would never show any emotion at all the joyous laughter and warm aura that revolved around the house were replaced with coldness and silence. So witnessing their young master smile so brightly were like witnessing a strange occurrence that only happened once or twice. Naruto was usually a warm person and a natural born prankster. But just couldn't get away from the memories when he is in this large mansion. But he is smiling so something must have happened caused him to be. Well ,happy.

It was a rather an uneventful morning as the same daily routine happened. Going to school be fawned over by girls, listen to Kakashi sensei's boring lecture, have a random fight with Sasuke you know same old same old. But something was missing.

He entered their library and taking a seat next to his favorite round table near a bookshelf at the edge of the room so that no one would disturb him. Ino is still absent it has been 3 days now since he last saw his other blonde classmate. And what bothered him is that after the flower pot incident he had never seen or received a text message from her. Ino may be the playgirl and a delinquent but she would never skip school for half a week. Naruto wanted to check up on her but was still hesitant.

He opened his bag and took out his plain white earphones and his book, already wearing his glasses. He gently pressed the screen on his phone picking a random track. It was his only time when he was fully alone in school no one to disturb him as he enjoyed his peaceful moment of serenity.

Minutes passed as Naruto quietly read his book while adjusting his reading glasses now and then. He noticed that someone sat beside him hearing the screeching sound of a chair being dragged down. He sighed of all the tables around the library this stranger took a seat next to him. His quiet atmosphere gone, he didn't even bother to look at the stranger right beside him as he was still focusing on his book.

"It's your favorite spot too?" Asked the stranger.

Naruto instantly recognized the voice as his eyes slowly met hers, she was sitting next to him with a book in her hand she also had a pink earphones matching her hair. The red tie that came with their uniform was absent only leaving her with her white button up shirt. It was her new classmate they seemed to be bumping on each other casually within the past week.

"Yeah" Answered Naruto calmly with a small smile gracing his lips. Which she returned. Naruto went back to reading his book while casually stealing glances at her.

Unbuttoning a few buttons on her shirt and taking one of her phones off as he fanned herself with her book. "It's kinda hot in here right?" she said while groaning slightly.

Naruto heard her enough as he also took one of his earphones off to answer her female classmate. "Yeah sometimes, since were the only one's here they didn't seem to bother turning on the air conditioning." chuckling as he finished. And then for no apparent reason Sakura scooted over to him dragging her chair across the round table. "Hey what are you listening to?"

He was quite surprised by their close proximity, will this ever run out of questions, thought Naruto. Last time they met in this library well she was shy and quiet but now it was the opposite. Naruto knew very well about his popularity and the only girl to ever have to confidence to approach him like this was Ino. So he wondered where is this girl getting all this courage from. So Naruto decided to play along.

"You first?" He asked slyly pointing at her earphones while leaning in closer. Now Naruto expected that she would finally burst and probably exited the scene like last time after all he was just giving playing along since he only needed one girl in his life. So he waited for her reaction.

Oh wrong he is. Sakura moved even closer to him and inserted her pink earphones in his left ear. Since he was taller than her she bring her head even more closer, he could feel her breath in his neck, she smelled like cherry blossoms with something musky for it was mixing with her sweat. She could feel her fingers touch his ear lightly which he lightly flinched at the contact. She was leaning into him. The song started and she kept the other part of her earphones still in her ear as they listened to the song together.

It started with an upbeat bassline followed by a solemn hymn of the piano. Naruto was trying hard to focus on the song and resisted to do nothing more. Their face was inches away from each other as her green eyes focused on his blue ones. He noticed a bit sweat trickle in her cheek as he suddenly had to urge to wipe it off. He couldn't help his eyes as it wandered of off in her chest due to the few of the buttons undone he could barely catch a glimpse of her red bra. His breathing was now uneven as he closed his eyes still trying hard to focus on the song at hand.

Her voice suddenly broke him out of his trance as she silently whispered under her breath as she smiled seductively. " The intro is bit too long." He just nodded and nervously before the lyrics starts coming in after a long instrumental.

How I wish you could see the potential,

The potential of you and me

It's like a book elegantly bound but,

in a language that you can't read.

Just yet.

Naruto said nothing as listened to the song. He opens his eyes to meet hers but it wasn't focused on his own, instead they were glued to his lips. She was breathing heavy as she started to lean in a bit more closer. Naruto didn't even dare to move.

You gotta spend some time, Love

you gotta spend some time with me

And I know that you'll find love

I will possess your heart.

Naruto was broken out of his trance as he slowly moved back his heart rate picking up. He took off the earphone hastily and shakily before packing his things and wiping tracing of sweat in his forehead. She was supposed to be the one feeling this way but the tables turned on him. He smiled nervously before standing not even meeting her gaze. "It was a good song see you later Sakura-san" Before he walked towards the library exiting the moment they created, it felt like he was running from something. Putting a distance between her and him. He took a moment to catch his breath.

"What the hell happened there?" He said to himself.
