Title: Accidentally In Love
Pairing: SasuNaru
Genre: Romance, Humor, Drama
Plot Summary:Sakura is a girl who is desperate to have a boyfriend. Naruto is a guy who's in love with her but can't confess. One day, Sakura ordered a 'boyfriend' from a strange company and it was promised to be delivered the next day. What would happen if the package was accidentally delivered to Sakura's next door neighbor instead of hers? And what if the next door neighbor is Uzumaki Naruto? Does that mean that the 'boyfriend' will be Naruto's instead?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and it's characters. Half of the plot is mine, but I actually got the idea from a shoujo manga "Absolute Boyfriend" by Yuu Watase. The main girl character there has also a neighbor who was also in love with her, and then I wondered what might possibly happen if the 'boyfriend' was mistakenly delivered to him, haha. And then this happened.
Author's Notes: This chapter was focused on Sakura, no she's not the main character. Haha. It's just she would be the way for our SasuNaru! I hope you'll enjoy this, minna!
Chapter 1 – I want to have a boyfriend!
Naruto stared at the two people in front of him. Well, he more like glared at the other. He was currently hiding behind a bush where he was to eavesdrop what his secret crush would tell to the most popular guy in their school—Hyuuga Neji. Of course, his pink-haired crush wouldn't do what Naruto thought she would do, right? Sakura wouldn't confess her love to him, right? Because that couldn't be! But Sakura's expressions were telling him otherwise. Naruto continued to shoot secret daggers at Neji.
"Uhm… Neji-kun…" Sakura started shyly; there was a pink shade in her cheeks.
The long-haired guy looked at her with a bored expression. "What?"
'What a rude guy! How dare he?' Naruto commented in his mind. As much as he wanted to go out of hiding and punch that arrogant guy, he couldn't. He didn't like to admit that he was also curious what his Sakura would say.
Sakura glanced at Neji with nervousness. "I… I like you… I've always liked you for a long time now…" she gave him a small smile and hoped for his answer.
"Is that it?"
"Huh?"
"That's all you have to say?"
Sakura looked confused. "Y-Yes. Neji-kun. That's all.."
Naruto's sure that his heart broke. When he heard Sakura saying to another guy that she liked him, his world almost shatter into pieces. He had liked Sakura since middle school so the one she must like is him!
"I don't like you." Neji straightforwardly answered.
Sakura didn't hear right, did she? "What did you say…?"
"I said I don't like you. That's my answer. Now, I'm outta here." With that, Neji turned to his back and walked away, leaving a teary Sakura behind.
When Neji was finally gone from her sight, Sakura finally cried. It definitely hurt her. Naruto, on the other hand, watched her from the bush. He wanted to comfort her, to tell her that she didn't deserve that prick because she deserved better. He looked at the falling tears and before he knew it, he was walking towards Sakura.
"S-Sakura-chan…" he tried to touch her shoulder but the girl shoved him away.
"What do you want Naruto?!" her voice was trembling but she was also angry.
"I just want to…comfort you.."
"You heard it, did you?!" she finally looked at him with tearful eyes. "And now you're going to ridicule me?"
"No! I wouldn't do that. Sakura-chan, you—"
"Go away!"
"But—"
"I don't want to see your stupid face right now, please!" Sakura said with all seriousness then continued to cry.
Naruto still couldn't help Sakura even he really wanted to. It hurt him that she still couldn't see Naruto even after Neji flat out rejected her. Why did it have to be Neji? Naruto was there all along! But he understood why Sakura was acting that way. Yes, she was always cruel to him, but he knew why Sakura more cruel at that moment. So, he chose not to argue and walked away.
Sakura wiped her tears as she walked on the streets of Konoha. Good thing she chose to confess after classes because she really didn't feel like going to class after that rejection (and that was the only good thing in that). That was her fifth time that year that she was rejected by a guy! Was she not beautiful enough? Was that why she still didn't have a boyfriend? No… that couldn't be it. She knew she's beautiful. So, what's really wrong with her?
Sakura continued on walking and pondering on her thoughts when she accidentally almost stepped on a piece of paper. Normally, she wouldn't care about pieces of trash on the street but that one caught her eye. So, she picked it up and she realized she was wrong. It was not only a piece of paper, it was an I.D.
She scanned the I.D. She looked at the picture at the upper right part of the I.D. and what she saw was a man with a silver hair. His left eye and half of his face was covered, too. Sakura could only describe him with one word-weird. She also read his name—Hatake Kakashi, and that he was working in a company no one know about, even her.
She was about to keep the I.D. in her wallet when she spotted a silver-haired man glancing here and there. 'I think I've seen that person somewhere…' she thought, when all of a sudden, it clicked on her. He was the man in the I.D.! She quickly approached him.
"M-Mister?"
The man stopped looking at every corner of the street and turned his head to her. He smiled. "How may I help a young lady like you?" his voice was low, Sakura noticed.
"Are you looking for this?" Sakura held out the I.D.
Even though the man wore a mask, the delight could be seen in his face. Sakura gave it to him. "Thank you! Miss… uh…"
"Sakura."
"Thank you, miss Sakura." He bowed. "To express my gratitude, I would like to treat you to a coffee today."
Sakura scrutinized the man. Everything about him was weird, even his clothes didn't look normal. Was he a cosplayer? Kakashi then noticed that Sakura was staring at him with suspicions. He chuckled.
"No,no. I'm not a bad guy. I may look weird," he stated.
'Yes, you are weird!' Sakura screamed in her mind.
"…but I'm actually a business man. I insist on my offer." Kakashi flashed a smile though it's not visible.
Sakura thought about it for a while. 'This man may look creepy and weird but he's not probably a bad man, is he?' After a few seconds, she finally agreed.
Kakashi and Sakura went in a nearby café and they ordered drinks. Once their orders arrived, Kakashi started a conversation.
"You know, Miss Sakura, I work on a company and I want to offer you our product."
The girl sipped on her coffee before looking at Kakashi. "Uhm, Mister Kakshi, is you company illegal? I think that's the first time I've encountered that company name."
Kakashi laughed. "No, no. Actually, our company is…" He lowered his voice a little and leaned to Sakura a little bit closer. "…a secret one."
That caught the girl's attention. "Secret? What do you mean by that?"
Kakashi relaxed on his seat and put his hands on the table. "You know, our company just opened a month ago and it's not open to the public yet. That's because we still haven't tried our products even once. We do want to, but we have no one to 'experiment' it with. Also, our product is only for girls…but boys can have them too." There's a mysterious glint in his eyes while saying the last part. "Anyway, if there's any who likes to try one, then she can have our trial model."
"W-What is your product anyway?"
"We offer… a boyfriend."
Sakura gulped. And then she laughed. "A boyfriend? What the hell was that? So, your company is a male prostitute factory?"
Hearing her answer, Kakashi leaned his back in his chair and laughed. "No. Kronos Heaven(1) does not offer prostitutes. We offer mechanically-made guys, or should I say, robots which our customers will personally customize to satisfy them."
Sakura wanted to laugh. Was that man crazy? How could that be possible? Yes, she's desperate to have a boyfriend, but to have a robot boyfriend? No, thank you.
Kakashi noticed the skeptical look on the girl's face. So, she didn't believe him, huh? "Well, if you don't believe me, why don't you try visiting our website? Then if you feel like it, you can have our trial model. You still have no boyfriend, am I right?"
What was Sakura doing? What did she do to have such a bad luck on that day? First, Neji rejected her, and then she's talking to a crazy perverted cosplayer businessman? What the hell?
She was about to reject when all of a sudden, Kakashi was gone. And when she looked at the glass table, there was a piece of paper where the Kronos Heaven's website was written.
-To Be Continued-
1. Kronos Heaven- it's the name of the company in the manga. I didn't change it because I can't think of a company name. Haha.
Anyway, do you like my story? Please let me know~! Thank you!
