teamwork - crack snippet
Snippet from a scene i'm writing at the moment, which happens at the same time as Naruto and Jin in the cave, not that it matters.
It just, well, poor Sakura. u__u
"So." Kigane smiled. "I just wanted to make sure, so I don't step on your toes again... Are you and Naruto-kun going out, or what?"
Sakura's eyelid twitched, her elation entirely snuffed out. Was Kigane trying to get in her good graces via girl talk? After that stunt with cuddling up to Naruto, all 'ooh, you big strong male, take me in your arms, protect me...' Urgh!
"I didn't even think you two might -- I mean, there was this rumor about you and another girl and the shower room, so I kind of assumed..."
Sakura's face caught on fire, and with it her only chance to categorically deny any of it. "H-how do you -- what makes you think I --"
Kigane waved a hand in denial as she trotted at Sakura's side. "Oh, please, there aren't many kunoichis with pink hair, you know. Well, there's one with magenta and I think another with peach, but it was more orangeish."
This time, Sakura paled. "You thought I was a lesbian?!"
A few steps ahead, Sasuke's foot skipped on a stone and he almost messed up his landing. Sakura's mortification reached new heights.
"... Come on, two girls, one shower stall, funny noises..."
Sasuke's shoulders twitched in a suspicious way and he made a quiet snorting noise. Sakura briefly wished to die.
Kigane caught sight of Sakura's face and winced, lifting her hands defensively. "Oh, there's nothing wrong about being a lesbian! Some of my good friends are lesbians. I mean, alright, like I told Naruto-kun, a Chuunin exam isn't the best place to come out, but..."
"I'm not a lesbian!"
Sasuke stopped pretending not to listen to the conversation, looking over his shoulder. Sakura looked away quickly, aware that she was blushing once again.
"Naruto came out, huh?" He quirked an eyebrow at the blonde, a clear demand for an explanation. "When'd that happen?"
"Oh, we were just joking!" Kigane paused. "...I think."
Sasuke's lips twitched downward. Sakura knew Sasuke's expressions intimately, and it only happened when he was trying not to smile. Curse him.
"Naruto's not ga -- not a girl! Crossdresser. Lesbian. Thing."
Kigane blinked innocently. "Transexual?"
"Yes -- no! He's not. He's a hundred percent man. He was just -- it was a henge. In the shower."
"Oooooh. Things totally make sense now."
There were very few things that made her want to bite Sasuke. Or punch him a little. Sakura, once upon a time, had been prepared to say there were none. That was before she caught similar 'I'm not going to laugh, I'm not going to laugh' twitches on both his face and that boyfriend-stealing bimbo's.
Still writing, but the rest of the scene is a lot more serious and a lot harder to write, and I'm not sure I'll have it completed before I need to sleep.

I adoore the way you write it so that it's implied but you don't directly say, 'Sasuke was trying not to laugh', it's a perfect example of SHOW, DON'T TELL :]

Stooop being so good at characterization/writing/winning at life, it makes me want to read all your fics over again in favor of studying. D:
no subject
... Bad! You should be studying now. D: Go on, shoo! (I wonder if it would work better if you could only read fic once you were done. XD Personally I'd go crazy without some multitasking, but somehow reading fic is always a little more interesting than homework...)
no subject
And haha, I was watching the MTV movie awards whole studying, Johnny Depp is just amazing.
no subject
And he'll prove it in almost every way. Not as badly as Ranma from Ranma 1/2, though...
Hey, here's a weird question. Does anyone reading this know of any good Ranma 1/2 x Naruto crossovers?
no subject
It would be fun, and yet... The worlds are so dissimilar. I read a few but I didn't find them all that good because they didn't manage to explain it well enough to satisfy me. *sadness*

Yes Sakura, this is one of those conversations.

... I also want to say "poor Sakura", but, you know, not really. >D

I would have to agree, though; Chunnin Exams likely are not the ideal places to be comming out of the closet. Although, the transexual label may or may not be applicable to Naruto/Naruko.
