A/N: I'm back! I'm NOT sorry for updating late. I typed a notice in the previous chapter that I would probably update late. I took the two week opportunity to calm and cool down, to get over the writer's block and to ignore my slightly cracked head (not literally!).
I'm now happy, alive and kicking! Whoa! Thanks for the tons of reviews! I know that 50+ reviews in 1 chapter is few but for me, that's a record breaking experience! Thank you! You make me happy!!!
Summary: (For those who want to preview the summary) They pretended to be a couple to fool his fan girls and her fan boys. Hugging, holding hands and even kissing each other in public! But what if this simple deal comes to reality? Will they have the guts to accept the fact and face the challenges ahead?SxS

To graviola,
About Ino, I actually like her character in Naruto. She's my next favorite character after Sakura, you know. I won't do that to her, making her so slutty and a whore. I actually make her look like one for the story to work. Please understand me. You'll know her REAL personality in this chapter.
To im not flaming you ( anonymous reviewer,
Thank you for noticing the mistakes! I double checked all and I noticed that all of them had mistakes. I have to admit, I have a somewhat grammar block (invented), and I can't seem to look and match for the perfect grammar. Grr… And to tell the truth, some of the expressions you said is right. It looks wrong because we come from different countries… I think! i
» And one more thing, I noticed how lots of you liked the kissing scene. To tell you guys another truth, I thought it was lame and boring, but then, when I read your reviews, I was enlightened that I could satisfy you with that!
» And for those who are requesting for longer chapters, well I'm sorry but I can't do that due to reasons that are secretly done.
» I have also decided that I would have a chapter sequel instead of a story sequel. I g et irritated to people who are dense who could not notice the summaries that have a 'SEQUEL TO…' notices before the real summary. I also get irritated when I tell people the title of the sequel, then again ask me for the title. I tick me off!!!
Foolish Heart
Chapter 3 : Yamanaka Ino spells F-R-I-E-N-D, not S-L-U-T
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura called out to Sasuke as she halted and turned around to where her so called boyfriend was, tailing her through the hallway of their school. "Hn?" He acknowledged the pink haired girl; the huskiness in his voice was very evident for his fan girls to notice. "I'm going to the washroom for a while." She said pointing to the wall opposite to where they were, where a brown door was, with a sign of a female figure.
Sasuke nodded his head and went to a corner for him not to block the pathway, where tons of students were walking to get to their usual places during lunch break. Sakura smiled brightly and strapped off her body bag, handing it to Sasuke's outstretched hand. She quickly gave him a peck on the lips, making their fans look in another place.
Sakura quickly made her way towards the ladies room and entered the room secluded for women only. Hearing the wooden door shut close, Sasuke sighed and leaned onto the lockers, closing his eyes and crossing his arms above his chest.
His left eyes twitched violently when he heard a set of school girl giggle from his left, which was immediately followed in the right. He adjusted Sakura's bag in his arm, which was now twitching in annoyance by the commotion and noises that started to erupt from his fan girls.
'What do they want know?' He thought, opening his right eyes slightly trying to observe his surroundings. The first thing her saw was two girls who were whispering to each other, a small blush adorning their cheeks, sometimes giggling from what they were saying.
Opening fully his eyes, he took notice that they were not looki9ng at his direction, but was looking to his west. Then there, he now noticed that whispers and small commotions in the floor, probably also talking about the one the two girls were talking about.
He looked to his left and saw a group of girls who were also in the same situation as the two other girls he saw earlier. He pushed his body away from the lockers, wanting to know what caused the sudden whisperings of the people around him.
Looking around to his left, where most people were faced, her saw a small, semi circular shaped crowed, making it reveal who caused it all. What he first saw was the bright blond color and the length of the owner's hair, making it stand out to his all black attire. His skin was also standing out, making a cute blend of the fair peach color and black.
'Who the hell-?' Sasuke thought again and took a step nearer, finding the back of the person somewhat familiar. 'Could it be-?' He thought again as his mind ran faster than usual, thinking of a lot of ways to figure out who the man was.
As he slowly took a step closer, with each second passing by, his mind kept thinking about the possible name of the man. 'D-…D-…De---… Gah! Who the hell!' He thought and stopped when he was about a few feet away from him.
"Finally found you, Uchiha." The blond man said, his back still faced to Sasuke. Sasuke raised a brow at this. "You know me?" He asked in disbelief. The blond man sighed, tsk-ed and shook his head. "So, you can't remember me, huh?"
The blond immediately turned around, revealing his huge grin and smiling eyes. "Hello Sasuke!" He greeted and raised a hand as a simple gesture of hello. Sasuke's eyes widened slightly and immediately remembered the name he was looking for.
"Deidara!"
Sakura sighed as she entered the ladies room, which she found empty. Upon entering a cubicle for her task in relieving herself, she placed her things on top of a table top in the huge cubicle and did her task.
She heard a flush from the other cubicle and a clicking sound of a bolt, clearly relaying a message that she wasn't the only person inside the ladies' wash room. Composing herself from her routine, she flushed the toilet and gathered her things, unbolting the lock and step ping out, only to be frozen in the spot.
There in the sink, looking at herself in the mirror was a tall, sexy, blonde, who was reapplying her make-up. The blonde who was looking at the mirror, also stopped when she saw who just came out of the cubicle and took note that it was the young student council president.
"Ino." Sakura acknowledged and went to the sink adjacent to Ino's, placing down her things and washing her hands in the automatic sink. Ino just smiled at Sakura through the mirror, and continued to reapply her make-up.
Sakura always wanted to be close with Ino but she took note of Ino's deadly glares at her when she would constantly ask Sasuke about something in their subject in their seat, with Sakura leaning forward towards Sasuke.
"Uhm… Ino," Sakura started as she took out a comb from her tote bag and started to comb her pink locks after removing the elastic band that binds her bangs behind in a half pony style. Upon hearing her name, Ino's brow raised up a bit whilst applying a light pink eye shadow, making a short sign for her to continue.
"You know," Sakura said again, fixing back her half pony. "I really wanted to be friends with you." She said, smiling at Ino with the use of the mirror. By this time, Ino had stopped doing her thing, but just looked Sakura through the mirror, a bit taken aback by her confession. Sakura's eyes cast down to the sink, a sad smile adorning her lips. "But I was afraid you would never befriend me."
Ino laughed slightly, maybe quite amused by Sakura's words. Sakura's head shot up and looked at her left, where the real Ino was. Ino smiled and face Sakura, friendship twinkling in her eyes. "We're probably just the same." She said as she placed her eyes shadow case down and looked back at the mirror, deciding to eye Sakura there.
"Ever since you stepped foot in this school, I really wanted to be your friend." She smiled bitterly. "But then, when I heard about your talents, beauty and your brains, I thought that; if I tried to befriend you, would you also accept me as your friend?" Ino said as she looked back at Sakura, a small smile in her face.
Sakura was looking back at her, listening intently at her words. "But then, I got really jealous when you started to 'flirt'," Ino said as she raised both of her hands and quoted what she said. "with Sasuke-kun."
"But I guess I was wrong when I misjudged you. I said so many nasty things about you and your flirting with Sasuke-kun, you and brain;" Ino smiled again at Sakura. She went nearer and took both of her hands in her own. "Maybe I was just jealous because your beauty and brains could captivate any man in the school, unlike me." Ino trailed off and looked down, avoiding Sakura's own.
Sakura smiled and retracted back her hand and held Ino by the chin and raised it for her to see Ino's face. "Don't be, because even though you're not good in academics, at least you have a talent that could make you one unique person and you have the beauty every girl wants." Sakura explained.
"You think?" Ino beamed as she raised a brow at Sakura with a mischievous grin present in her now glowing face. Feeling the happiness flowing around the room, Sakura smiled too and nodded. Ino grinned widely. "Looks like I've gained another friend!" She said happily as she and Sakura shared a hug.
Suddenly, Ino's arms that were around Sakura tightened. "Itai! Ino!" Sakura complained and pushed Ino slightly. "But I'm not giving MY Sasuke-kun up that easy to you, forehead!" Ino teased grinning at Sakura.
Sakura smiled and returned the gesture by punching her arm playfully. "You bet, Ino-pig! I'll never give up my boyfriend!" Sakura said proudly and returned to her routine of applying face powder, not much noticing how Ino's eyes lost its sparkle a bit.
"Hey! Can you tell me how you and Sasuke-kun became a couple?" Ino suddenly asked as she started to fix her belongings. Sakura immediately blushed and slowly packed her things too. "Well, it actually started when there were tons and herds of fan boys outside my house and my parents were really stressed about it." Sakura narrated as Ino listened attentively.
"It was also a big coincidence that I invited Sasuke-kun to have dinner at my place." Sakura said, half of it being a lie and half of it being the truth. Her parents actually invited the Uchiha's for a talk about investing for their company. "Then, okaa-san, being impatient with fans, suddenly suggested to Sasuke-kun to be my boyfriend and have a steady relationship with me for us not to be bothered by any of our fans." Sakura said as she breathed slowly.
"And then?" Ino asked, impatient of what happened next. "And then ever since that day, we started dating and he suddenly asked me to be his two months ago." Sakura blushed when she said that and mentally slapping herself for telling a big, big lie. 'I'm dead.' She thought.
"Really! I never thought Sasuke-kun would have emotions and feelings." Ino joked and offered Sakura to eat lunch. "Sure. But why don't YOU join us? It would be fun! You would also meet a lot of people in our group." Sakura said as the walked slowly towards the door.
Ino smiled yet again, breaking her record of smiles she usually gives to new found friends. "Sure! I really wanted to meet Sasuke-kun's friends and also your friends!" Ino said excitedly "May I ask you a question Ino?" Sakura asked as they reached for the door. Ino nodded, letting Sakura continue with her question. "Uhm… I know it's a bit awkward but I'm just concerned. Is it true that you already bed 10 men?" Sakura asked, her voice sounding shy.
Ino's eyes widened like dinner plates but immediately shrugged it off. "No. I never had any experience. People just make it for my reputation look bad." She explained and both women stepped out of the comfort room.
"What's happening?" Sakura suddenly asked as she surveyed the surroundings, having people coupled or in groups, blushing and whispering things to one another. "Is there a fight or some sort?" Ino asked as she tip toed and tried to find any brawl.
"Where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked and frantically looked for her boyfriend. "There he is!" Ino pointed to the direction of where a semi circle was formed. Sasuke stood there looking like he was in the middle of the circle from Sakura's view.
Sakura beamed and held Ino by the wrist and walked faster towards him. "Sasuke-kun!" Sakura called out to her boyfriend who was probably rooted on the spot. "Sasuke-kun!" She called out again, her voice a bit louder than before. "Let's just go to him." Ino suggested after seeing her friend's bother in calling her boyfriend.
Sakura nodded and went nearer to him, brushing past people who were there in the sidelines of the scene. "Sasuke-kun, how many times should I have to… call… you…" She trailed off when she saw a very tall man, probably towering Sasuke's height. There, she saw a tall blond man, who had his eyes closed due to his wide grin.
She looked at Sasuke and grasped his shoulder lightly, making him break his glare at the man in front of him, Ino, behind her. Are you alright Sasuke-kun?" She asked as she held onto Sasuke's hand.
Looking at Sakura's pleading eyes, he turned back to the blonde and glared at him. "We're going to talk some other time, Deidara." He said and stomped off together with a confused Sakura and Ino.
Author's Note: Okay, I know it was rushed and fast pacing. I'm sorry! But I know you wanted me to update fast. I'm sorry again! And this maybe would be the last or second to the last update before we have our exams again this coming last week of November and second week of December. –sigh- exams are raining here and I need to concentrate first on my studies.
I also had a bit interest in DeiSaku pairing, that's why this story might have one.
Yeah, and I have a lot of questions for you guys…
Could you please tell me more about Deidara, especially his full name and physical appearance? Well, I really don't know much about him, please! Tell me what you know about him! It's for the story! And if you've noticed, I never described him thoroughly yet except for his hair.
Thanks for the patience! Please wait for the next update! Love ya guys!
