A/N: Okay….I have no idea as to where to take this next chapter so this will be a mystery to me as well as you…..I'm sorry! I know this is a pretty lame excuse, but I was watching the Hundo, and now I'm so inspired! Oh, by the way…..for this particular chapter only, this will not be in Naruto's POV. Please Enjoy! …

Chapter3: Insert Name Here> I Choose You!

It's been two weeks since Naruto ran away from the training grounds. He hasn't left his apartment ever since that day, and he was now experiencing a shortage of food.

"Dammit! How long am I going to stay in here?! Do I honestly expect to survive in here for the rest of my life?!" The hyperactive ninja exclaimed.

He got up from his bed and made his way to the mirror. He gazed at his reflection, admiring every inch of his face.

"Come on, sexy! You can't stay cooped up in this apartment any longer…..You know that, and I know that, so what do you propose we do about it?" He asked his mirrored image.

He patiently waited for a response, but of course even he knew that he wasn't going to get one.

He slipped on his headband and made his way towards the door. He wasn't sure of what he was going to get himself into, but right now that didn't matter. What mattered the most was him getting out into the world, and finally being able to take in some fresh air.

"Hey Sasuke, have you seen Naruto lately? He's been missing a lot of training, and I'm beginning to worry about him," Sakura said as she lightly blew into the broth of her ramen.

"No, I haven't seen him. I went to his apartment last week, but no matter how many times I knocked on the door……no answer."

Sakura noticed the discouraged look upon Sasuke's face and began to twitch.

'I don't like this. Sasuke's acting really weird, and somehow, I know it has something to do with Naruto,' the pink-haired girl thought to herself.

"Hey Sasuke…..Have you ever noticed how cute Naruto is. I mean, he can be a total pain, but there's something about him that turns me on, you know?"

Sasuke dropped his chopsticks at the girl's comment.

'Don't answer that Sasuke. If you answer her it'll only make things harder for Naruto. You must consider how he feels about coming out,' Sasuke began to repeat to himself.

The raven boy's sudden silence made Sakura even more suspicious. She could tell that Sasuke wouldn't just casually tell her what was on his mind, so she decided to pry even more.

"Sasuke, I've been thinking lately, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't love you anymore—"

"So, there is a God," Sasuke intervened.

"What? Oh, never mind then. What I was trying to say is, I'm not in love with you, but I'm in fact in love with Naruto," She continued.

This time, Sasuke nearly choked on a noodle.

"Excuse me? What did you say?" He couldn't believe his ears. Was this bitch out of her mind?!

"I said, I'm in love with Naruto. Is there a problem with that?"

'Fuck yes there's a problem with that! Who do you think you are, trying to steal my man?!'

"No, why would there be a problem? You're a growing girl with raging hormones. It's only natural for you to fall in and out of love so quickly."

Sasuke just grinned and bore it. No matter what was going on in his head at the moment, he would not share his lover's secret without his permission.

Sakura frowned at his answer.

'Dammit! If only I could get him to slip up once! Then, and only then, will I know for sure that something's up between.'

It was as if the gods were smiling down upon Sakura. For there he was, the man of the moment himself. Naruto.

"Hey, Ruto-chan! Over here!" Sakura screamed.

Naruto looked puzzled as he made his way towards his two teammates.

'I've got a very bad feeling about this,' Naruto moaned.

"Naruto, guess what?" Sakura questioned playfully.

"Um….what?"

"It's been decided that I'm no longer in love with Sasuke!" She squealed.

"Oh?"

"Yup! From now on, I, Sakura Haruno, am in love with you, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"You….you are?!" Naruto shouted in excitement.

"Yup! I am!"

Naruto gave off a huge grin as leaned in forward for a kiss.

Sakura blushed at this and decided to go along with him.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Sasuke suddenly shoved his head in between them.

"S-Sasuke? What are you doing?" Naruto questioned.

"You know, I could ask you the same thing," he said, slightly pissed off.

Sakura took a step back, knowing that she had crossed the line.

Sasuke grabbed Sakura's arm, pulled her toward him, and slapped her as hard as he could.

The frail girl fell to the ground; tears trickling from her eyes.

"Sasuke…..why?" She questioned.

"You stuck your nose in where it didn't belong," he coldly spoke.

"Sasuke! You don't go around hitting girls! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Naruto screamed with anger.

Sasuke turned to him. He had a longing look of love and passion as he took his lover by the hand and carefully guided Naruto's lips to his own.

Sakura sat there in astonishment. She couldn't believe that Sasuke was gay, let alone he was seeing Naruto.

"Naruto, you must make a choice. It's either me, or Sakura," Sasuke hissed.

"Hey, I didn't mean to cause anything. If you truly love Sasuke, then Naruto, he's al yours," Sakura said with compassion.

"But Sakura……I want you as well," the blue eyed shinobi muttered.

Sakura blushed at his statement.

'Maybe Naruto isn't so bad after all.'

"Naruto, we don't have all day. You must choose." Sasuke insisted.

"I choose…..I choose…." He stammered.

Naruto's mind went back to the night that he shared with Sasuke.

He remembered how Sasuke had comfort him when he needed it, and how he trailed sweet kisses down his chest.

He couldn't believe how hard this decision was.

He knew that Sakura only said that she loved because she was curious about the relationship he and Sasuke shared, but as he looked at her now…….

He knew that the love Sasuke had was real, but the way Sakura looked…….

Her green eyes, once filled with rage, now glistened with compassion.

Her whole outlook was different. It was as if she had changed on the inside.

Maybe she really had feelings for him; I mean who was he to doubt that?

He twiddled his fingers and began to continue.

"I choose…..I choose….."

A/N: Yes! Finally I left a decent cliff hanger! Maybe I'll add on more tomorrow, or maybe I'll just wait until next week! I have no clue on when I'll update, but knowing me…..it'll be soon! If there are any major die heart Sasu/Naru fans out there who are reading this, please accept my humble apologies! I can't stand Naru/Saku pairings, but this really adds more drama onto the story…….Please Review and Tell Me What You Think!
