The Bet
I don't own Naruto
(Recap)
The next day Sakura got up first and was wearing a pair of black silk bikini underwear with the Konaha headband across her breasts with out the net undershirt.
She had completely forgotten that Sasuke was there in the living room, which is connected to the kitchen, asleep.
Sakura was in the kitchen making breakfast for her self, which consisted of bacon eggs and some cinnamon rolls.
Sasuke smelled the food being cooked and instantly woke up going strait into the kitchen forgetting to getting dressed
(End Recap)
Sasuke's eyes grew large and his cheeks flashed a blush.
"Good morning Sasuke-sama."
Sakura turned around with a plate of hot Cinnaminson rolls in her hand.
"Sasuke, what on earth?"
"What is it Sakura?"
He looked down and saw nothing but boxers on his body.
The blush was still evident on his cheeks and Sakura noted it in her mind.
"Sasuke-sama why are you blushing?"
Sasuke quickly looked away, hoping that Sakura wouldn't see anything else happening.
"It's nothing Sakura, just ignore it ok."
She nodded her head like a robot and took her seat across from him.
"Sakura do you ever get lonely here all by yourself?"
Her head snapped up, and she chocked on a piece of a cinnamon bun.
"Why? What's it to you Sasuke-sama? Remember what I said that night you left."
Sasuke looked at the corner so he didn't have to see her stair.
"Sakura that's not relevant to the question."
"Oh, It's not? Are you sure Sasuke-sama?
He finally looked at her face and saw all the pain and hurt he had put her through.
"Sakura please don't look at me like that."
"Like what Sasuke-sama, I wonder if you even remember what I said!"
He looked at her amusing face, and frowned.
"Of course I remember what you said! It never left my memory and that is all I thought about!"
"And you expect me to believe this saying coming from those lips that promised to stay and protect me."
"I understand where you are coming from and all, but what about me Sakura? Can't you trust me this once?"
"This is too much, I need to talk to Neji."
"Why him Sakura?"
She looked down at her food and back up at Sasuke.
"He understands what I've been through thanks to you, 'The Great Uchiha'."
Sakura said the great Uchiha while motioning air quotes in his face.
"Sakura, don't you think I know what I've put you through? How much pain you have suffered, and how many sleepless nights."
Sakura slid her chair back and stood up walking to her room.
"Sakura, don't turn your back on me, not now anyway, I need you."
She turned her head and looked at his pitiful face he was giving her.
"Why not Sasuke-sama, you turned your back on me, even though I begged you not to though you did it anyway so now it's my turn."
Sakura slammed the door too her room and got dressed in her normal attire, tube top, long black pants, boots, and hair down over her left eye.
Sasuke watched as Sakura came out of her room and slammed the door to the small house and walked off to Neji, where ever he was.
(With Neji and Sakura)
"I don't get it Neji," Sakura said as they skipped rocks down the river in the woods.
"What's not to get Sakura, He has come back to you, and all you do is ignore him."
"Well what do you want me to do Neji? Throw him this huge party welcoming home the biggest trader to the village?"
"No Sakura you need to sit down one night with him and talk this out."
She sat down along the bank of the river and put her feet in the cool water.
"Why can't he be like you?"
This caught Neji off guard.
"What do you mean Sakura?"
"Well, he acts like I went on through my life like nothing has changed. Like him leaving was like throwing up food, eventually you forget you did, but the memory will always be there."
"Sakura, he doesn't know how much you have grown, mentally and physically."
She blushed at him when he mentioned her and her looks.
"So Neji you expect me to open my arms and take him back?"
"No, not exactly, but that would help the situation."
"Ugh, your no help either, Neji, How am I supposed to allow him to come back into my life when he will do the same thing again!"
Neji took his seat next to her and looked at her.
"Sakura, it sounds like your afraid to be with him, because he might leave you and you won't be able to take it this time."
She looked over at the pale eyed boy and shook her head yes.
"It's just so hard, Neji, I want to forgive him and let him hug me and kiss me, but my mind won't let me."
"Sakura, don't you mean your heart won't let you decide."
"No I mean my mind won't, I don't have a heart anymore, that left the day he did."
(OK, so from now on the story will be in Sakura point of view)
I took my feet out of the water and dried them off, using my socks, and stood up.
Neji looked up and motioned me to sit back down, so I did.
He put his arm around me and pulled me close.
"Sakura, Sasuke loves you, and so do I, but he is the best pick."
I looked up at him again and smiled.
"How do you know all this Neji?"
"Well, Sakura, I know you and what your heart will evidentially want."
"Neji, that makes no since to me."
"It will in the future, Sakura, but now you must go to Sasuke and talk."
"Okay I will."
I stood up one last time and thanked Neji for all his help. He waved bye as I disappeared through the trees.
(With Sasuke)
Sasuke was at Naruto's house with Sai, Naruto, and Kakashi.
"I just don't get it guys, what did I do to deserve this!"
Naruto was sitting on the floor in front of the couch, that Sai was sitting on.
Kakashi was on the other couch, and Sasuke was sitting in front of Naruto.
"What's not to get Sasuke? She doesn't like you any more."
"Sai will you shut up Teme doesn't need to hear that!"
"It's the truth, She loves Neji not you."
"All right you two settle down, were here to help Sasuke not depress him!" Kakashi said putting the perverted book down and walking into the kitchen.
"Naruto don't youth have some work to do at the hokage tower?"
Naruto looked over his shoulder at Sai and scowled
"Yes I have work to do, well I better be going if I'm ever going to get it done."
He left and Sai let a sigh out.
"Finally he's gone, now we can talk."
Sasuke had a puzzled look on his face as Kakashi came back into the room with a phone.
"Hell no, I'm not calling her!"
"Who said anything about calling Sakura? She doesn't have a phone."
Sasuke looked over at Kakashi with the phone, "Then why do you have a phone?"
"That's none of your business Sasuke, right now you need to go find Sakura and talk this thing out.
Sasuke got the hint and left the house and went to Sakura's.
"Sai, here is the phone."
Sai took it and dialed Neji's number.
"Neji did you talk to Sakura?"
"Yes, she should be trying to find Sasuke as we speak. What about you?"
"Sasuke just left to find her, looks like this is going to work out after all."
"Sai you must remember the plan and stick to it, don't let Naruto find out or Kakashi, okay!"
"Okay, I here you let's see where this leads them."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Sai handed the phone back to Kakashi and left the room to find Sasuke and Sakura, and see if the plan was working.
