Kiko- To make up for my non-updating habits, here is the very long first chapter of ASHH: Senior Year. Lame title I know, but I couldn't think of anything else. D:

::AHSS::Senior Year::

::Chapter One::

::Forever::

::Sasuke's POV::

The first day of school went by very quickly. In fact, the whole entire first weekwas a blur it seemed. Luckily Naru's class schedule and mine were exactly the same, so we had all our classes together.

"Hey, Sasu."

"Yeah?" I answered, looking over at him.

We were walking back from school, with Gaara and Hinata a few feet in front of us.

"Wanna go on a date tonight?" he asked with a slight blush on his cheeks.

I laughed a little and poked his cheek, "Naru, your blushing."

His blush darkened a little, "Never mind that, you never answered my question." he replied.

"Of course. That'd be nice." I said, "We haven't gone on a real date for a long time." I motioned towards Hina and Gaara, "So should we make it a double date with those two?"

Naru shook his head as we approached my house, "No, I just want it to be us."

I smiled as we entered the house. Naru wasn't really acting like his usual self. The blushing, and the whole asking me on a date thing. And we never went on dates anymore. He had something up his sleeve. But I just couldn't put my finger on what it could possibly be.

About an hour after we got home, Naru ran upstairs to take a shower, leaving me, Hina, and Gaara by ourselves.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Gaara said, getting up to use the downstairs bathroom.

"Hina-chan..." I said to avert her attention away from the tv and the movie we were watching.

"Hm? What is it, Sasuke?" she questioned.

"It's Naru. He asked me on a date. He hasn't done that for a long time, since we first started dating." I replied, "He's acting pretty vague about it. Like not telling me where we're going, or anything. Do you know what he's up too?"

"That's cute that'd he'd ask you on a date. I don't have any idea what he's up to, but I can help you get ready for it!" she said with excitement filling her soft voice.

I raised my eyebrow as she took my hand and guided me up the stairs and into mine and Naru's room. I sat on the bed as she went through my closet. After a good 5 minutes she decided on a nice dark blue, long sleeved dress shirt and a pair of black pants. After I got dressed she put a tie around my neck.

"Hina-chan, is the tie really nessecary?" I asked and she finished tightening it.

She giggled, "No, but I think it looks nice, and I think Naruto will like it too, so keep it on, okay?"

"Sure, sure." I said, just as Naruto entered the room.

I smiled at his appearance. He was dressed up nicely as well, in a orange short-sleeved dress shirt, and a black vest with black pants.

He walked up to me. I noticed he was blushing again. "I don't look too ridiculous, do I?"

I shook my head 'no'. "Not at all. You look very cute, Naru." I said brushing my fingertips lightly across his whiskered cheeks.

"Sasu, your embarrassing..." he muttered shyly. I felt his face heat up more and the pink fluster on his face darkened.

I placed a quick kiss on his lips and pulled away, taking his hand in mine, "Shall we get going now? It's almost 8 o'clock. Don't wanna be late to...um, come to think of it, I don't even know where we're going." I said with a small laugh.

"Don't worry Sasu. I'm sure you'll love where I'm taking you." he told me as we walked down the stairs with Hinata.

Gaara was watching the tv. "Heh, I was wondering where you guys went." he said to me and Hinata. "By the way, Sasuke, Naruto... you two look nice for just a little date."

Naruto made a grunting sound, "I wanted this to be special night, Gaara. So I wanted to look nice, and stuff... you know... I'm sure you like to look good for Hinata-chan too every once and a while."

"You got me there." said Gaara, giving my boyfriend a thumbs up.

::Naruto's POV::

"Anyways, we're gonna head out now." I said to Gaara and Hinata, giving them a quick wink. They knew what I was planning. Actually we'd been planning this whole thing for 2 whole weeks now. I was excited to see how this would play out. And the best part was that Sasu was completely oblivious to what was going on. He thought this was just a simple date. I laughed inwardly, thinking to myself about how genius this plan was.

"So... can I have any hints of where your taking me?" Sasuke asked, when we entered the shopping and restaurant district of town.

I put my finger over my lips, "Can't say, Sasu. That would ruin the whole thing, and then it wouldn't be a surprise!"

Sasuke nudged my side playfully, "Your such a little tease, Naru. I can wait, I suppose."

"Good, cause we're almost there!" I replied, grinning.

After another block of walking we got to my destination.

Sasuke starred in awe at the restaurant we were in front of, "N-naru! This is the fanciest, most expensive restaurant in town! Are you insane? We can't afford this!"

"Oh, c'mon now Sasu! I wouldn't bring you here if I coldn't pay for it. Don't worry, alright?" I assured him, locking his arm with mine. "Now let's get in there, I made reservations for us already."

Sasuke was silent. He was still trying to absorb the fact that I brought him here. We walked in and stood at the entrance, waiting for some one to take us to our seats. A couple minutes passed and a woman in her early 20's came up to the podium.

"Good evening gentlemen. Do you have reservations?" she asked politely. I noticed she gave a little questioning expression at our locked arms, but she didn't mention it.

I smiled at her, "Yes ma'am. They should be under 'Uzumaki Naruto'." I said holding up two fingers.

She looked at a paper and smiled back at us, "Okay, right this way then." she replied motioning for us to follow her.

We did so, and she guided us to a table towards the back of the restaurant. Good. That's the way I wanted it. More privacy for us that way. Well, until a little later at least.

The woman gave us a couple of menues and two glasses of water and bowed, "Your waiter will be with you shortly. Until then, please be patient, and enjoy yourselves."

We thanked her, and she left us alone, but not before giving us another odd look.

Sasuke laughed, "I'm kind of surprised she didn't question us about our relationship. I thought she was going to explode if she didn't say anything."

I shrugged, "Whatever, let's keep her wondering for now. Maybe she's into that sort of thing and we can give her a free show later." I winked at Sasu and grinned.

He gagged and nearly spit out the water he took a drink of. "Naruto! We're in public!"

"Aw, don't be like that Sasu!" I retorted, "I was only joking around."

"Well, you convinced me otherwise." he replied, punching my arm lightly. "Dobe."

"You know you like my obnoxious personality." I said, giggling.

We didn't notice our waitress approach our table at that moment.

Sasuke suddenly looked at me seriously. His onyx eyes starring intently into mine. "I love you... Naruto."

Butterflies filled my stomach, and I suddenly felt like I did the first day I met him. Almost immediatly I leaned over the table and kissed his lips, entangling my fingers in his raven black hair.

Then I heard someone cough quietly. I broke away from Sasuke only to notice that it was our waitress standing at our table, looking abit uncomfortable.

"Gomen. We didn't notice you there." Sasuke apologized to her.

"Uh, no. It's quite alright. I should be the one saying sorry... for interrupting... such a moment." she answered, pushing her glasses up. "So can I take your orders?" She asked pulling out a notepad, while flipping her bright red hair over her shoulder.

She was starring at Sasuke. As if she wanted to jump him right then and there. I was getting kind of aggravated now.

I glanced down at my menu to distract myself from that, "Yeah, I'll have-"

"Sasuke-kun?"

I looked back up. She was still starring Sasuke down.

What was with the starring? Couldn't she just take our orders and leave already? For some reason, I didn't like this girl... not at all. At least not when she was eyeing up myboyfriend. Sasuke was very attractive yes, and he got alot of looks from women, but he belonged to me, and I wouldn't let some random waitress hit on him, and... wait... how did she know his name?

Sasuke raised his eyebrow, "Karin?"

What? He actually knew her?!

"Oh Sasuke-kun! It's so good to see you! It's been years!" she exclaimed hugging him quickly.

I cleared my throat to catch their attention. "Excuse me miss? Aren't you supposed to be taking our orders?"

"Oh yes! That's right! I'm sorry. It's just seeing Sasuke-kun after all these years, it's amazing!" she replied happily.

I turned to Sasuke, "So Sasu, who is she exactly?"

"This is Karin. I've known her since we were really young, but we haven't seen each other for at least 5 years now." he explained.

"Oh, I see." I said, almost glaring at the red-haired woman.

"Alright! No more distractions! What will you two be having tonight?" Karin asked, getting ready to write down our orders. Finally.

We told her what we wanted and she happily skipped away, leaving Sasuke and I alone again.

"What was with her anyways?" I asked. "Let me guess. She's a childhood friend, who you were arranged to marry, but you moved away and never saw her again, so the engagement was called off."

Sasuke let out a laugh, "Naru, your not jealous are you?"

"How can I not be?!" I replied, "She was looking at you like-"

"Naru... calm yourself." said Sasuke placing his hand over mind. "Karin means absolutely nothing to me. We were childhood friends, yes, but we were never engaged or anything. She's just always had a crush on me, and she's the eccentric type, so she never gave up hope that she'd have me one day." he smiled at me, "But I love you Naru, and if she can't deal with that, then she'll have to live with it."

"Sasu..." my eyes starting watering, "I'm sorry. I'm just a stupid, jealous idiot."

"That you are. But your my idiot, Naru." Sasuke replied kissing my hand.

After that we waited. I glanced at the clock in the room. It was 8:30 now. That meant it was time for everything to happen. I shifted my eyes over to the entrance of the restaurant. As if on cue Hinata, Gaara, Temari, Shika, Kiba, and Sakura walked in, all dressed quite elegantly.

Sasuke noticed them just as I did. "Naru, everyone is here. That's a little weird, huh? You think they knew we were here?" he questioned.

"I guess great minds think alike. I didn't tell anyone that we'd be here." That was totally a lie. I did tell them, but I wasn't about to tell Sasu that.

The same woman guided them over to me and Sasuke.

"Are these the gentlemen you six are with?" she asked.

"Yes, thank you." Hinata replied kindly. "and is it alright if we push a couple tables together so we can all sit together?"

The waitress looked a little confused, but went along with it. "Ohh, um sure. Go ahead." she said before walking away.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Sasuke.

But before anyone could answer Karin came back pushing a food cart with her. She picked up the tray on it and placed it in front of Sasuke.

He looked at it for a minute, "A cake?" he questioned in shock.

"Happy birthday, Sasu-kun." I said sweetly. "Now blow out your candles and make a wish."

::Sasuke's POV::

I was so happy I could have cried right there. I never expected this. Especially since I had forgotten it was my own birthday. I looked at Naruto before closing my eyes to blow out the 18 candles on the cake.

My friends cheered and clapped, and while they did that I leaned over to kiss Naru. It was all I could do to thank him right now, since he had put this whole thing together. Of course I would thank him properly later on tonight when we were alone.

I smiled at everyone, and I felt so happy to have friends like them.

I looked at the smoking candles and thought about the wish I made on them.

To be with Naruto forever.

That was my wish.

Kiko- Yay! First, and incredibly long chapter complete! I never expected it to be so long, but I started writing and I couldn't stop! xD Oh well, I guess. Haha.

Anyways... please review!!!

Thank you!
