How freaking exciting! As most of you know, this is the sequel to 'I'd Rather Die' this story will have more drama then action, there will be some points where you'll be at the edge of your seat because the drama will just be so intense, but I hope you guys like it, I responded to the reviews you guys left me from the last chapter of 'I'd Rather Die' in PM's. So anyways, here's the first chapter, I hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I decided I own Neji though. I successfully kidnapped him. -cries- I wish.

Chapter 1

What Now?

I never thought that I would be walking through the San Diego streets with Sasuke. I never expected to actually be leading a normal life. Well...as normal as it can get. I no longer have sudden cravings to push people out of windows, to jump in front of semi's, to chop people's heads off, to shoot myself with a shot gun, or to throw Naruto out of Sasuke's office at the Uchiha Co. Building. I must confess though, I still get the cravings to grab a stuck up ho from the street, by the hair and slam a door on her head.

To be more specific, I'm going to let you in on what's happened with my life since the dreaded, yet best day of my life, a year ago. Ever since I almost got killed, and ever since I could actually consider my relationship with Sasuke an actual 'relationship', I've made a new enemy. I bet you guys already know who i'm talking about, but to make this more fun for me, and you, no doubt, I will make this one of my infamous pop quizzes. So are you ready? I don't care if you're not. Who is my enemy?

A) The bear from the mountains.

B) ThatfuckingslutbagthatIhatewithapassionINO.

C) ThatbitchthattriedtotakeSasukelastyearKarin.

D) Itachi

E) NARUTO OF RAMEN

So what do you guys think? Well actually, any of these can actually be correct answers except for A and E.

I decided to forgive that bear. I mean, he was only doing what he had to, you know? How else can he live peacefully if there's people always bugging him in his natural habitat? I decided that bear is my best friend, besides, Sasuke that is. If you chose B, you chose the correct answer. My newest enemy and rival is that ugly fat headed pig: Ino. Who can blame me for not liking her? What would you do if for your whole life you thought that this one person was your best friend, and then suddenly when a guy shows up, she completely abandons you? I have one thing to say..

What happened to 'chicks before dicks?'

Ha, that slut chose the dick, and that pissed me off to no extent. Even though the guy happened to be my boyfriend now, the fact that she was willing to just drop me for a guy says a statement...and that statement is:

'I'm a slut'

That's what she's telling me. Anyways, I still see Karin around, and yes she still practically worships and kisses the ground Sasuke walks on, but I've resolved to threatening her countless times. I once even told her that if she didn't stop staring at my boyfriend I'd gouge her eyes out with a spoon. Remember when I told Ino that? I laughed at her because she thought I'd actually do it? Well right now, if either one of those two whores came at me, I would really do it. I don't see Karin around as often as I used to. Would you like to know why? Of course you do. I no longer work as a waitress.

Besides being the girlfriend of the hottest guy in the freaking universe, I get special privileges. For example...I am now Sasuke's assistant at the office. Poor Naruto is now...MY assistant. Can you believe that? I'm Sasuke's assistant, and Naruto is my assistant. The assistant of the assistant. That makes me laugh, but anyways speaking of Naruto, he's just as energetic as ever, and he's even got the hots for my other best friend...can you guess who? Of course, it's Hinata. I never thought I'd live it down when Hinata told me that 'Naruto is her type.' I almost gagged. I see him as a brother, and it's really disturbing.

I mean, Hinata didn't see Sasuke as her type the first time I saw him at the restaurant, but Naruto is her type? That just seemed unbelievable to me.

Anyways, what happened to dear old Itachi? Would you like to know? Well, when I woke up from what I call 'a coma', Sasuke told me that he had told the San Diego Police Department that there was a potential future pedophile, druggie, gang member, and murderer up on the mountains. So as of that day, a year ago, he's been, hopefully, rotting in jail. Well anyways back to the current situation...

"Sasuke, what time is it." I said lazily dragging my feet along the concrete sidewalk. Sasuke glanced at his black watch that was strapped to his right wrist.

"2:03" He said in his famous monotone grunt. I don't know how a guy like him can get around saying such few words. I groaned while I inwardly kicked myself...stop complaining Sakura, you're probably making Sasuke regret confessing to you.

The sun was high in the sky, making a heat wave, that was nearly impossible to handle. The sun reflected it's bright rays from the windows of the various buildings we passed, and every minute that passed, seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, that even Sasuke seemed to have a permanent scowl plastered on his face.

We had promised Naruto and Hinata that we would meet them at another local cafe called 'Java, Juice and Jive' half an hour ago. They said that they had wanted to discuss an idea they had for the office. (Hinata also got the hook up to the job, she works as a secretary though.) The office had wanted to have more people interested in their work, so they had proposed that whoever found an idea to attract more customers, and even more potential employees, would receive an extravagant raise. I was all up for that, so I dragged Sasuke with me. It doesn't really matter anyways, I could probably just get money from Sasuke, like he told me, but I wanted to earn my own money.

So here we were practically throwing old grandmas aside to get there as soon as possible. As you know I have a dislike for old people so I didn't mind just hauling ass in a river of old people. I even wanted to kick their walking sticks out from under their feet. I know i'm horrible, but who cares?

I sighed in relief, as Sasuke opened the door to the restaurant, the fresh air soothing the relief of an upcoming heat stroke. My black shorts clung to my thighs, and my dark blue, low cut, tank top was almost completely soaked in my sweat. Yes, I know it's disgusting, but I sweat like any one else does. I looked up at Sasuke, his scowl still in place, his cheeks with a tint of pink because of the heat. He was really cute like that. He wore black pants and a dark blue T-shirt. His taste in clothing had rubbed off on me, and I had a tendency to wear the same two colors he seemed to acquire a liking to.

I don't understand how he could be wearing pants in this weather, but I must say, he is a fighter for it.

"I should kill you." Sasuke spat as we made our way around the cafe. I smirked up at him.

"How was I supposed to know that we would nearly die coming here?" I told him as I caressed his hand with mine. He looked at our intertwined hands, with eyebrows raised.

"That's not going to make me change my mind about killing you."

Well, my smart ass had forced him to walk to the cafe with me, rather then taking his oh so luxurious Mercedes or my Ford Focus. I thought it was a really nice day out today, so I had insisted we walk. Seriously, we hadn't actually done any exercise since the day we hiked up those freaking AWESOME mountains. If you guys haven't been able to grasp my sarcasm, then please re-read the memoir of my life.

Finally, we spotted the couple in a booth, at the corner of the cafe. Exasperated and completely exhausted, we sat down.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Naruto said looking from me to Sasuke.

"Nothing." We both muttered in unison. Shrugging, Naruto turned to a startled Hinata. She never seemed to be able to regain composure when she was around Naruto. She was clumsier, and she stuttered more then ever.

"Hinata, why don't you tell them our idea?" Naruto said with a wide grin on his face. Hinata's face lit up, and turned a dark shade of red.

"Y-y-yes N-Naru-t-to-kun." She stuttered. Ever since Naruto insisted on her calling him Naruto-Kun, she couldn't help but stutter. So now, it was pretty much impossible to keep a sane conversation going with her. Her head hung low to avoid any eye contact.

"W-well, N-Naru-t-to-kun an-n-d I w-were th-th-inking th-that m-mayb-be th-th-e off-f-ice c-"

"Okay listen, Naruto, how about you tell us, we don't want to be here all day." I interrupted, blowing a lock of pink hair out of my face. Sasuke had the same irritated look on his face, with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked impatient, just like I did. We had both rubbed off on each other, and usually you could catch us doing practically the same things at the same times.

Hinata sat there with an even more bewildered expression, it really looked like she was going to throw up at any second and pass out. Naruto glanced at her.

"Are you ok Hina-Chan?" Naruto asked with obvious worry. It's sad because although Naruto thought he was really helping her out, it only made her turn another shade of red, practically a dark purple, considering the nickname he had just given her. She nodded as Naruto resumed to tell us what the flustered Hinata had begun to tell us.

"Hina-Chan and I were thinking that maybe the office could arrange some kind of dance or ball. Something where anyone can come and just have fun! With a DJ, food and everything! and that's not all!" Naruto said with enthusiasm. Sasuke and I were just staring at him, mouths agape.

"On every floor of the building we could have different scenes from movies!" He squealed like a little girl. After a few moments of complete silence, besides the ongoing customers, and clanking of silverware, Sasuke spoke up.

"Why movies?"

"I don't know, I like movies." He said shrugging. Duh, I'd say we all know he likes to watch movies.

"That idea is the most...AWESOME idea EVER!" I shouted. Sasuke stared at me with a are-you-fucking-kidding-me look. I looked back at him with a stop-giving-me-a-are-you-fucking-kidding-me-look-because-i'm-freaking-serious-stupid glare. Don't you just love that? After my glance at him, he just leaned back in his seat and stared at the wall.

"Hn." Is all he said as we returned to our high pitched squabbling. After 30 minutes Naruto and I were literally jumping up and down hand in hand, and squealing. Hinata just sat there with a nervous jitter, and Sasuke sat there looking like a moody emo boy. I stopped jumping with the loud blonde and sat next to Sasuke. I grabbed his hands, and he turned his head to look at me.

"Sasuke..."

"Hn."

"May I escort you to the ball?" I asked him before I burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter.

"Yeah." He said grinning at me and then proceeded toplant his lips on mine.

Yay! The first chapter is now done! What did you guys think? I hope you liked it,for those of you reading this story without reading 'I'd Rather Die' I recommend you read it first because this story would make a lot more sense if you did. REVIEW MY LOVELIES.
