Uchiha-babe-16: Konichiwa everyone!! This is a new story that I've been working on for a while that i just finished. Hope you guys enjoy it!! Maybe I should explain a little bit first though. Sasuke's mom is still alive. His parents are divorced, Itachi never existed...

Itachi: Excuse me?! You can't just delete me from my own family!! -sends death glare at Haley-

Uchiha-babe-16: Watch it Itachi. I control this story so I can do whatever I want. Kapeesh? Now if you don't shut it so I can finish explaining, I swear being deleted from your family will be the least of your worries.

Itachi: What can an insignificant little pest like you do to a man like me?

Uchiha-babe-16: -whispers something in Itachi's ear-

Itachi: 0.0 You wouldn't.

Uchiha-babe-16: Try me and see. -Itachi cowers in corner- Now, anyway, Itachi never existed, Shikamaru and Naruto are orphans, so Mrs. Uchiha adopted them, but they kept their original last names. I think that's all.

Sasuke: Remember, Haley-Chan does not own Naruto or any of the characters. -smirks at Itachi's scared expression-

Uchiha-babe-16: Oh right. Thanks Sasuke. Ja Ne!!

*****Love Hurts*****

***Chappie one***

"Sakura! Hurry or we'll be late!" yelled Ino from the bottom of the stairs. Sakura came sliding down the banister with her guitar case in hand.

"Let's go then." She said as they left her house and went across the street to their school. When they got to the schoolyard, they found their friend Hinata waiting for them.

"I'll see you guys later, I want to practice before the teacher shows up." said Sakura as she went to her homeroom; music. When she got there, she was about to open the door, when she heard someone was calling out. She turned to see a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hey, do you know where the music room is?" he asked out of breath. She smiled and pointed to the door behind her.

"Yeah, come on in." she said opening the door. "I'm Sakura by the way." She said opening her guitar case and pulling her guitar out.

"Cool name. I'm Naruto." He said as he took out his drumsticks and started beating out a tune on the desk. She recognized the beat and began strumming her guitar. He looked up at her and smiled. "Now all we need is to find a singer." He joked.

"On the contrary Mr. Uzumaki, Miss Haruno can sing very well. She's the best in the class." said the teacher walking fully in the class and leaning on his desk. Sakura blushed and looked down. Before Naruto could say anything, the bell rang and students started filing in. There were Ino, Hinata, two other guys, and the three most popular girls in school; Yumi, Yuri, and Yuki. One of the guys had dark brown hair and matching eyes. The other had raven hair and onyx eyes to match. "Well, it looks as if we have three new students. Would you like to introduce yourselves or shall I do the honors?" asked the teacher. The dark brown haired one stood up.

"I'm Shikamaru Nara and I'm seventeen." As he sat down, Naruto stood up.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I, too, am seventeen." The last one stood up.

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha and I'm eighteen."

"Well, which group of ladies would like to start; how about you Miss Yamanaka?" He said as Ino nodded and stood.

"I'm Ino Yamanaka and I'm seventeen." As she sat down, Hinata stood up.

"I'm Hinata Hyuga and I'm also seventeen." Sakura stood up.

"I'm Sakura Haruno and I'm eighteen." She said as she sat down. Then, after her, Yumi stood.

"I'm Yumi and I'm seventeen." She said as Yuki stood up.

"I'm Yuki and I'm seventeen also." Then, Yuri stood up.

"I'm Yuri and I, too, am seventeen. We're triplets." She said the whole while staring at Sasuke. The teacher started writing something on the board, and Sakura felt eyes on her. She turned to see Sasuke staring at her. When she met his gaze, he gave her a small smile, and then looked at the board. She smiled softly and looked at the board too. This exchange didn't go unnoticed by Yuri though.

After school let out, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura started walking toward Sakura's house when Yuri and her sisters came up in front of them.

"I saw that in homeroom." said Yuri with her hands on her hips. Sakura's eyebrow rose.

"Saw what?" she asked. Yuri scoffed,

"Don't play dumb. You know what I'm talking about. Don't even try to get Sasuke. He's mine. Or, he will be soon; so back off Nerd." She said as they all walked away. Hinata saw the hurt look on her face and wrapped her arms around her friend's shoulders.

"Hey Sakura, where you goin?" asked Naruto coming up behind her. She nodded across the street.

"Huh?" he asked confused. Ino turned around.

"She means to her house, across the street. You can come if you want, but it's not gonna be very interesting." She said as they all started walking again. Shikamaru walked up beside Ino,

"What's wrong with Sakura?" he asked so low that no one could hear. Ino shook her head.

"Don't worry about it. She'll get over it. She always does." She said as they walked into Sakura's house.

"Ya'll have a seat in the living room, we'll be right back. I have to get out of this uniform." Said Hinata as all the girls went upstairs. They came back down a couple of minutes later in their pajamas. Ino and Hinata went to the living room while Sakura went into the kitchen. She was in there, just taking her time fixing their food, when she felt someone's hands on her waist. She stiffened until the person leaned down with their mouth by her ear.

"Hey, what were you upset about earlier?" asked Sasuke as he turned his head to see her expression. He saw the hurt look return to her eyes along with a slight blush, and immediately wished he could take back his words.

"Go ask Ino. I bet she'd be more than happy to tell you. Besides, it's too embarrassing for me to say." She said as she turned back to stirring the food. He gave her one last glance, kissed her cheek softly, and turned to find Ino. He found her sitting on the couch flipping through the channels.

"Hey Ino, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Uh, sure Sasuke." She said as she set the remote down on the table and followed him into the hall. "What's up?"

"I was wonderin if you could tell me why Sakura was upset earlier. I asked her, but she told me to ask you."

"Oh, ok, I guess I can tell you then." She said as she started telling him what happened earlier in the day between Sakura and Yuri. Sasuke's eyebrows rose.

"I don't like Yuri. I like Sakura. Sakura knows that, right? I was gonna ask her out tomorrow, but maybe I should do it now, to let Yuri know that I don't like her. Y'know, get her off of our backs. Plus, I really want to get to know Sakura better. She's the first girl, other than you and Hinata, that I have ever met that didn't throw themselves at me the first time they laid eyes on me. Sakura's just… I don't know how to put it… she's just different, and I like it." He said running a frustrated hand through his hair. Ino smiled and went to the kitchen doorway.

"Hey Sakura, could you come see for a minute?" she asked as she went back to stand next to Sasuke. When Sakura came out of the kitchen and saw Ino's face, she knew that she was up to no good.

What's up Ino?" she asked as she went to stand before them. Ino waved.

"Bye." She said as she went back to the living room. Sakura stared after her with a confused expression on her face.

"What was that about?" she asked Sasuke as he shrugged and looked away. Sakura shrugged too and turned to go back into the kitchen when Sasuke's hand shot out and grabbed her arm.

"Actually, I do know what she was doing. I need to talk to you."
