Chapter Three:
Books and Nicknames

��

��
�� We walked
in relative silence the whole way to the library.�� Just outside the front door I turned to
Naruto for the first time that morning.�
�I�m just going to be a minute; I have to reserve a book.�� He didn�t even look up at me from the brood
he was in.� He had been like that ever
since we left his apartment.

�� I made my
way through the library towards the older science and medical section.� Glancing at the books on the self I caught
sight of one title.� Green Herbs and Red Herbs nope, that�s not it.� Blue
Mushrooms and Solar Grass, The Preparation of
Medicines, that�s not it either.� Powerful Medicines and their Effects,
nope that one doesn�t have anything in it to help me.� Ah here we go!� The
Effects of Medical Drugs, if there is any clue as to what he might have
been taking, it�ll be in here.� I removed
the book from the shelf and turned for the front desk.� Wait, is that Sai?� What�s he doing here?

�� Looking at
art books?�� He looked up at me with a
passive face.

�� Oh, Sakura.�� Well he�s sure glad to see me.

�� So you�re
a reader huh?�� Maybe he�ll say something
so it�s not like talking to a mirror.

�� Well, just
a bit of one.�� Wait; hold on you your
hats.� Sai is blushing with embarrassment!� This is too good to be true.� Hmm, I wonder what he�s reading.� Fostering Better Interpersonal Relationships.� Wow,
I never pictured Sai for the self help type.�
I guess he is human after all.

�� Oh, that
reminds me.� Naruto and I are going to
visit Kakashi in the hospital.� Do you
want to come join us?�

�� Kakashi.�� There he
is, acting like a brick wall again.

�� Well,
yeah.� You�re on Team Kakashi, so it
would only be right to meet him.� And
besides, it�d be nice for him to get some visitors.�� I gave him a small smile.� �Come on, Naruto is waiting outside, we
should get out there before he looses his patience.�

�� Sai didn�t
really resist as I dragged him out of the library by his arm, then again he
didn�t exactly assist me either.� When we
finally got out of the building I started my search for Naruto.� Knowing him, he�ll be halfway between
restless and picking a fight.� I let out
a small giggle at the mental image of Naruto jumping off the walls.� What, since when had the thought of Naruto
doing anything stupid like that ever
made me giggle.� I need to stop thinking
like this.

�� Naruto!�� Where the
hell could he be?� What, why is hit
sitting there right where I left him.�
This isn�t right, something is very, very wrong here.� He was just sitting there all this time?� Maybe he has something on his mind.� Of course he does, Sasuke.�

�� Ah?� What in the world is Sai doing here?� ��Why would he have a problem with Sai?� I mean sure he�s a little odd, but he�s our
teammate, we have to work together out there.

�� Well I ran
into him at the library so I though I�d invite him along with us.�� I smiled at him, hoping Naruto would catch
the hint that I was trying to be friendly with Sai.

�� Aw man and
I was hoping it would be just the two of us, kind of
like a date you know.��

�� Well if
you had enough time on your hands to think that up you should use it to study
ninjutsu or something.�� I mean honestly,
if he was able to come up with stuff like that then he wasn�t moping about
Sasuke.

�� Studying right.�� Great
now he�s annoyed with me.� I�m only
trying to help him better himself.� ��How can you even stand it in there, it�s so
uncomfortable.��

�� Well maybe
it would do some good for you if you did visit the library once in a
while.� You have to train both the body and the mind Naruto.� I mean you�re already so stupid.�� I gave him a small smile, maybe this will
help him focus.

�� Sakura!� That�s going
a bit far isn�t it?�� He�s right.� Damn, I really did go too far.� I�m going to apologize for that.

�� N-Naruto, Sakura?��
What?�� Sai is actually going to
say something?� �I wanted to know if you
would mind if I joined the conversation.�
I was looking at this book about getting to know people better and
stuff.� Well it said that friends often
have nicknames and such for each other, it creates a bond of closeness, making
them better friends.�� He was smiling as
he said this, it was a small smile but it was real.��

�� Wow Sai, I
didn�t think you cared a lot about that stuff.� ��Naruto was right, well in a way.� Sai was the antisocial type.

�� So that�s
what you were doing in the library, and what all those books were for.�

�� He smiled
again at us.� �Yeah.� But the more I tried; I still couldn�t come
up with any nicknames for the two of you.��
Wow, he�s really trying to be our friend now.� I guess he�s finally returning the
favor.�

�� Nicknames
aren�t something you can just make up, usually they just naturally
happen.�� Naruto was right.� Wow, when he says something like that, he
almost seems mature.� Or he would if he
didn�t have his hands behind his head and that stupid grin on his face.

�� Well a
good place to start would be to look at someone�s attributes or
characteristics.� Take Naruto for example.� He could be something like Stupid Naruto, or
Idiot Naruto.�� I looked towards the
idiot with a smile.� Hopefully he�ll see
I�m extending an olive branch.

�� Oh come on
Sakura!� That�s way overdoing it!�� Great, now he�s pouting.� But what I said is the truth, a little.

�� Okay, thanks,
I think I got the hang of it.� Ugly Dog.�� What?�
What did that boy just call me?� Ugly Dog?�

�� SHANNARO!��

�� I think I
heard Naruto Say something as I made my way towards Sai.� �Sai that is way, WAY overdoing it!�� I�m going to kill him, I�m going to rip him
limb from limb.� When I get done with
him, he�s going to wish he was never born.�

�� I�m furious
at him!� What gives him the right to call
me ugly?� Let me at him.� Let me
at him!� �Was something I said
wrong?� She looks like an ugly dog.�� Why is Naruto holding me back?� This man insults me and he�s just going to
stand there and do nothing?� Worse, he�s
going to stop me from beating Sai within an inch of his life.� Let me at him Naruto, I know you want to see
him hurt.

�� Naruto
finally moved out of my way.� I unleashed
my fury on Sai, �his
beating was merciless and through.�
Bruised and battered Sai fell to the ground.� I let out a small sigh of contentment when I
finished my beating.� Okay, time to get
down to business.� I grabbed Sai�s ear and
pulled him to his feet. ��Come on Naruto,
Kakashi is waiting for us.�

�� Uh sure
thing Sakura, I�m coming.�� Sai
thankfully remained quiet the entire trip to the hospital.

Author notes:� Alright!� New chapter up� I�m expecting there to be 2 � to 3 chapters
more before both fics are caught up, or at least
close enough on the same day.

Response to Reviews:

Kyuudaime:� Yeah, I agree with that whole �I love Sasuke thing.
�But denial is never good for the
soul.� And thank you for pointing out
that horrible mistake, as you see I�ve corrected it in this chapter, and will
do so in all others when I can get off my lazy ass.�

RichardtheDragon:� I�m glad that you voiced your opinion on IS,
and as you are the only one to do so, I�m going to keep it the way I have it
now. �Or I will at least until a time
when I get negative remarks on my system.

Naruto-sama:� I know you didn�t leave a review, but I�m
going to assume that you are busy with your own story The Coldness. �I hope everyone here will check it out, it�s
quite good, and gave me the drive to finish this chapter instead of putting it
off another night.� I thank you for
pulling my lazy ass out of the chair.
