"TEME!" I shouted as loud as my lungs would allow. I glared at the boy before me; his black hair shining in the bright light casted from the sun. "Dobe.." The boy before me muttered, lowering his onyx eyes from my view as they trickled between red and black.

I sighed. Teme is so pathetic sometimes.. I groaned out thinking to myself. I lowered my crystal ocean like eyes to mirror his expression.

"Sakura-Chan will never notice me, even without you in the way…" I muttered hating every bit of it. "You know, the key to her attention.. I can teach you if you want, Naruto. In return for…some favors." The raven haired boy said while sporting a bold cocky smirk.

The blonde sighed, part of him wanted this more than anything, and then the other half of him disagreed. He wanted Sakura's love fair and square. Maybe Saskue is right though.. The blonde thought while having a war within his head. Kit.. follow your heart. Kyuubi muttered from within his cage. You're right Kyuubi. I stated to myself. "Okay Sasuke.. What are the favors?" I asked a questioning look crossing my features. "It's simple really.." He grinned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WITH SAKURA! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmmmm." I murmured to myself strategically plotting her next move. This is intense.. She spoke to her inner Chhh! You're telling me! Inner Sakura basically screamed panic the only feature held on her face. Looking down at the cards in my hands I immediately regretted making a bet with Lady Tsunade.

SHIT SHIT SHIT. I practically screamed in my head. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU BET WITH THE NUMBER ONE GAMBLER IN KONOHA? WHAT THE FUCK WILL WE DO WHEN YOU LOSE? THEN YOU HAVE TO TELL NARUTO HOW YOU FEEL! DUMBASS! Inner Sakura roared with rage. Tsunade had won..

A smirk of triumph rose to grace her lips. She knew she had me cornered. "I'm done. Lady Tsunade.." I sighed in defeat. "Very well." She stated pondering within her thoughts. "You have to tell him in my presence." Tsunade stated cockily. "SERIOUSLY?" I half groaned half screeched.

"YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?" I begged with a gleam in my eyes; the gleam of fear. Fear of rejection. "No. I'm not. He needs to know. And soon." She stated in a I'm-right-just-shut-up-and-do-it tone. "Yes Lady Tsunade." I said fear evident in my voice.

"I'll send ANBU for him. Right away.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WITH NARUTO! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Simple… Just.. Do as I say, ne?" Sasuke asked glancing at Naruto. "Fine." I stated coldly; mistrust seemed to be glowing within my eyes and I could tell..

"Do nothing. Naruto." Sasuke said smiling lightly. "I have a present for you.. that should make up for all the years I missed out on." The raven haired boy said his smile finally reaching his eyes. "Huh?" I asked extremely confused.

"Oh you'll see Naruto.." Sasuke said smirking. "I suppose you haven't figured it out yet.. but my conditions for this bit of information would be.. for you both to be happy." Sasuke said with a knowing look in his eyes. I was confused as could be.

Sasuke glanced up, moving quickly he shoved me backwards. I looked at him, I glared and could feel the growl rising in my throat. I then felt someone tap lightly on my shoulder. I turned, only to be met with the sight of one of Tsunade's ANBU.

Something's wrong.. I thought to myself, Yeah kit.. Something's off. Kyuubi said with a smirk.

"Uzumaki, come with me. There's urgent business with Lady Hokage that needs to be taken care of. Miss Haruno needs to see you immediately." As soon as the words escaped the elite ANBU's mouth I was gone. "SAKURA-CHAN!" I screamed running to the Hokage tower.
