anyways, r&r, please :)

"Sakuraaaa," begged Naruto. "Pleeeease?" They were standing on the busy streets of Konoha. "No, Naruto! You can't look! It's a secret! Aaaaand...it's for Sasuke! NOT YOU!" Naruto was begging to see the 'surprise' that Sakura had. "I know it's for me," chuckled Naruto. "Admit it, you love me! Sasuke is just a cover-up for your feelings."

"YOU LITTLE TROLL!" Sakura punched Naruto through the wall. "IT'S FOR SASUKE!" Sasuke waved.

"Huh? He's waving at...ME!" Sakura waved back.

Sasuke sneered, and continued waving. Sakura looked behind her. It was...INO! "WHAAAAAAAAAT!" screamed Sakura. "INO-PIG! SASUKE! WHAAAAT? NOT POSSIBLE!"

Ino smirked. Sasuke was hers. And there was nothing, nothing Sakura could do about it. "Heyy, Sakura,"

"INO-PIG! Grrr..."

"Have you met my boyfriend? His name is Sasuke. He's soo hot. And cute! And smart. But of course, you know that," Ino laughed. She had finally snagged Sasuke. And best of all, Sakura didn't have him!

"Inooo," Sasuke called. "I have a surprise for you!"

Sakura's heart stopped. Why Ino? Why not her? And why, why did Sasuke have a surprise for Ino? Then she had an idea. Sasuke was going to get a surprise, all right. Just not the one she spent all her pocket money on. "Naruto, you are soo smart! You're right, the surprise IS for you! Here," Sakura said loudly. Naruto shook the little blue box. "COOOL!" he screamed. It was a sapphire-covered kunai. "Thanks 'Kura!" Sakura cringed at the nickname. She hated the name 'Kura. It reminded her of Tsunade's pet slug, Katsuyu. "No problem..."

THE NEXT DAY

Sasuke sat at his desk, glancing at Naruto and Sakura. "Since when were THOSE two together?" he asked Ino. Ino shrugged.

"They're both losers together. Sakura probably couldn't find anyone else to talk to her," said Ino. Why was Sasuke wondering about them anyway? She was here. Shouldn't he be focusing on her? "What about my surprise, Sasuke? You took off in such a rush yesterday, you forgot to say bye to me," she pouted.

"Surprise? Oh, right," He produced an emerald-covered Shuriken. "This is for you, Ino. Happy surprise!" Ino laughed. Sasuke rarely showed his happy, thoughtful side. "Thanks, Sasuke. I love it,"

"I love that kunai you gave me, Sakura," said Naruto. "But..."

"But what, Naruto?" answered Sakura. She wasn't really paying attention, but she had a reason. She was admiring the adorable Shuriken Sasuke had given Ino. She wished Sasuke had at least gotten to see his present. The dark-blue colour matched his eyes.

"I think...we should just be friends,"

"WHAAAAAT?" screamed Sakura. "WHY?"

"Well...it's because I know that present was for Sasuke. And I know that you want to make him jealous by dating me,"

"I understand, Naruto. But still...I wish Sasuke could at least admire the kunai. It matches his eyes," said Sakura, sadly.

"Hey, Sakura! That Shuriken he gave Ino...it matches your eyes! I'd recognise that green colour anywhere!" shouted Naruto.

"You think?"
"Yeah! You should go give him that kunai! Take it!" Naruto handed Sakura the kunai knife.

"Thanks, Naruto..."

THAT AFTERNOON

"Sasuke? Um...I need to talk to you about something,"

"What is it, Sakura?" asked Sasuke. To Sakura, he sounded a bit hopeful.

"I have something to give you. I know you're with Ino, but..."

Sasuke opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, Sakura showed him the sapphire kunai. Sasuke was at a loss for words.

"Me...and Ino...we...I...we...broke up," Sasuke stuttered. He dug into his pocket and gave Sakura the Shuriken. "This was for you, but I was too stupid to see it. Ino was stupid. You're the one for me. See, look? It maches your eyes," said Sasuke.

"I LOVE IT!" Sakura squealed. "And...I LOVE YOU!"

Sasuke smiled. He loved her too.
