a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

Life kind of sucks without Naruto around to keep her fully distracted. Sakura's come to discover that maybe all this time she's been using him as just that instead of coming to terms with everything that's happened with the war back home. Her life has been fairly easy up until that point because no matter what, she could always return home at the end of a long mission and kick off her shoes to relax only to be harped at by her mother. That was alright, but this? Being sent off to another world without any indication of what's happened? Difficult. It was too difficult for her to overcome. The dead were alive, the enemy was now their ally, and the guilt that came from knowing all of this was too much for her.

Add in the fact that Naruto's been out in a coma for the past few days and Sakura's mood has completely tanked. Not that she's willing to show it, in fact this is the first bout of privacy she's had in a while. Refusing to leave Naruto's side, his parents had been kind enough to accommodate that, but everyone needs to wash off sometime. This is why she's in the bath tub late at night with her PokeGear in hand. See, she comes from a world where technology isn't all that accessible to others her age so things like accidental recordings or slippery electronics are foreign to her.

Not for much longer will this subject be unfamiliar to her.


    [ VIDEO: LATE NIGHT ]
[ This video abruptly starts from the floor of a bathroom (easy enough to tell because there's a rug resting on linoleum and what appears to be porcelain nearby) with a blood-curdling scream. Splashes can be heard and soon enough there's shoulders along with sopping wet pink hair plastered along it leaning over the PokeGear. ]

P-Pervert! [ She's screaming at someone or something nearby as the splashes continue. Is her attacker in the bathtub now? Bubbles are flying everywhere in a convenient manner just to keep anyone from seeing anything sensitive on her body as she scoots back out of sight. ] I'll kill you! Where's that curling iron?! I'll fry you so hard you'll zap right back out that window!

[ Suddenly, something even more horrifying than the thought of a pervert comes into view. It leans over the side of the bathtub and points a fin towards the PokeGear as though to warn her that this was live.

Unfortunately, it doesn't last for long before a bar of soap smacks it back into the water with a loud thud. But hey Naruto, she found your mom's missing fish! A shame he's not here to have an excuse to jump in to 'save the day'. ]


    [ TEXT: EARLY MORNING ]
Seems as though a message was sent out from my PokeGear last night.
Disregard it.
Can anyone tell me if a Feebas is worth keeping around?
I'm torn between frying it up for lunch today or kicking it out.
Seems pretty useless all around.

By the way, has there even been a time when someone's failed to wake up from a coma within a week?
I'd like to know for medical reasons.
This world is strange when it comes to what's proper and what's not with the human body.
Please advise only if you're familiar with it.
No speculation today.

[He immediately spun in place, checking the distance between them before relaxing. She was... not in immediate lunging distance.]

Turns out you were okay and didn't need my help so I was going to check on something to eat...?
itsjustdust: (Pink cheeked and thinking.)
13th-Aug-2013 08:46 am (UTC) - he'd have trouble seeing from a distance then
You're hungry, huh?

[ Was her body NOT SATISFACTORY?! Her self-esteem's tanked on top of everything else, so she'll glance down at the Feebas in her hands briefly. ]

Here, open wide. [ Has Obito ever seen a fish fly?

Fly straight for his face????? ]

13th-Aug-2013 08:52 am (UTC) - NO DEATH
[And watch him prove that training in dodging with a Rapidash was worthwhile as he dropped down and to the side.]

I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to peep! I promise! I thought you might need help but you didn't and you don't need to throw things!
itsjustdust: (All the blushing.)
13th-Aug-2013 09:00 am (UTC) - NICE DODGE THERE....
[ Flop, flop, sputter goes the Feebas a couple feet behind him. ]

When have I ever needed help?!
punches: (Default)
13th-Aug-2013 09:08 am (UTC) - THAT THING LOOKED PAINFUL
How should I know?! I ONLY CAME BECAUSE YOU YELLED OKAY?

[He was totally braced to dodge again if needed.]
itsjustdust: (OMGWTFITIDEK)
13th-Aug-2013 09:15 am (UTC) - everything is painful with sakura
Yeah?! Well I hope you're ready to start yelling yourself!

[ But he already is, Sakura... ]

I'm going to beat you so hard that you'll have you join Naruto in bed, confined for at least a week while you recover!
punches: (Default)
13th-Aug-2013 09:18 am (UTC) - And about to be worse.
HEY. NO. HE LIKES SASUKE, NOT ME, THAT'D BE AWKWARD.

[Have him holding up warding hands now, yep.]
itsjustdust: (Then I'll say it louder!)
13th-Aug-2013 09:27 am (UTC) - OH MY GOD....
Wha-?

[ Stopping dead in her tracks at that. ] They confessed?!
punches: (Default)
13th-Aug-2013 10:15 am (UTC) - NOT SORRY
No? Kind of? It was a while ago! I mean, Sasuke isn't into it but Naruto doesn't seem to have given up and...

Man, just ask Shino okay? He was there.
itsjustdust: (Do what?)
13th-Aug-2013 11:05 am (UTC) - this thread just went awful
Oh, Sasuke isn't into it?

[ Is she breathing a sigh of relief or is that just the breeze from an open window? ]

Haa, for a moment there I was worried. Real worried.

14th-Aug-2013 04:06 pm (UTC) - And getting worse.
Yeah, I mean, and it makes sense what with his thing with Tenten and all.

[Whoops, he missed the cue there by about three miles.]

I don't even know what's up with that anymore.
itsjustdust: (Just casual happy here)
16th-Aug-2013 11:02 am (UTC) - word.... lol
Huh, his thing with Tenten?

[ Completely oblivious to Sasuke's potential for a love life, she assumes the same behavior from his youth has remained present here. ]

Well, a lot of the girls did have a crush on him when we were younger. He was pretty popular, you know!

16th-Aug-2013 04:59 pm (UTC)
Yeah... I guess I can see it, girls go for his type. [That was totally a grumble Sakura.]

Tenten seems to stand a pretty good chance though so I'm just staying out of it.

I did lend him my moral support though!
itsjustdust: (All my focus is on you.)
19th-Aug-2013 02:03 pm (UTC)
Oh, does she?

[ Suddenly her mood shifts as the cheerfulness leaves her. Was Obito just being enthusiastic or was this something that started to happen while he was here? ]

What about Sasuke--does he seem to think that way of her too? I know sometimes it can be hard to tell what he's thinking, but um... yeah...
punches: (Default)
21st-Aug-2013 04:55 am (UTC)
[He doesn't trust the sudden shift there Sakura.]

Um. I think maybe? He puts up with her more than anyone else...?
itsjustdust: (Eeeeeeeh?)
21st-Aug-2013 10:27 am (UTC)
They must spend a lot of time together huh...

[ That's the only confirmation she needs, but she's quick to pick herself up. ]

That's great! If there's someone from the village he can trust, I'm glad it's someone as capable as Tenten!

[He's giving you a long stare here Sakura.]

Not so much, I mean,he did take off with Itachi for ages and all.
itsjustdust: (All my focus is on you.)
26th-Aug-2013 12:24 pm (UTC)
[ A quick nod. ] Now that Itachi's gone, who is he with?

[ She won't stop prying on this matter about Tenten now even if there are warning sirens blaring in her mind. ]
punches: (Default)
27th-Aug-2013 12:23 am (UTC)
I don't know if he's with anyone right now actually. He didn't want anything to do with anyone when Itachi left. I hope he met up with Sora though, that would've been good for him.
itsjustdust: (Hehe!)
27th-Aug-2013 12:47 pm (UTC)
That must have been hard on him...

[ Just like it had been difficult for people whenever Kushina left. For once Sakura's grateful she hasn't had the time to 'lose' her parents. For too long she's wanted this kind of independence and now that she has it?

Well, there's a reason she lingers around Naruto and his parents. Not that she'll ever admit it! ]


Sora? I think I've seen him around before. Is he a traveling companion of Sasuke's?
punches: (Default)
28th-Aug-2013 07:42 pm (UTC)
More like he was a really good friend of his when I got here. Him and his friend Riku, who is kinda rich by the way, put me up when I first got here. Then I headed out with Sasuke and we've sort of parted ways since.

Sora is a really energetic guy, spiky brown hair, incredibly optimistic.

And a really good listener. He's a good friend to have.
itsjustdust: (Hehe!)
29th-Aug-2013 10:27 am (UTC)
Sasuke does need people like that in his life...

[ At least she's cheering up over the subject now instead of fretting. ] Do you think the two of them have met up to travel together?
punches: (Default)
30th-Aug-2013 10:45 pm (UTC)
I hope so! ...But probably not. Last I heard from Sora he wasn't and he would have told me if Sasuke was with him. He's really nice when it comes to stuff like that, kept me from going nuts when I was having a super horrible couple weeks a while back.
itsjustdust: (Heeee hiya buddypal.)
31st-Aug-2013 04:07 am (UTC)
Wow, he really does sound like a good guy if he's taken care of you both...

[ Making a note to send something to this Sora fella. ]
punches: (Default)
2nd-Sep-2013 01:35 am (UTC)
[He nodded and flashed a smile then.] Yeah... my partner was always really proud of him when he was still here too. He had memories about him, before here.

So... he's a really great person to be around.
itsjustdust: (Carry the four...)
