Chapter 3:
As Sasuke logged onto Myspace, he saw that a certain pink-haired girl was online at the moment. He smirked at the thought of her pretty smile. But then, those sparkling blue eyes and light blond hair flashed before his eyes. Sasuke shook his head with irritation, and tried to focus on his green-eyed girlfriend. But he just couldn't keep the other girl out of his mind. He sighed in frustration.
He looked at his top 5. His brother, Itachi, was first. Then came Sakura and then his idiotic best friend from Konoha Boarding School, Naruto. Finally came Neji and Shikamaru.
He glanced at the picture and thought for a moment. It's weird.. Sakura and Naruto's profiles are so close together, yet, they don't even know it.. It's just a weird thought. And.. They're both online at the same time..
Sasuke pondered for a moment, then shrugged and clicked on Sakura's myspace page. And then a chat box popped onto his screen. He clicked on it and began to sign in.

Sakura had kind of tried to avoid the subject of myspace and Naruto, whenever she saw Sasuke the next day. She would run off, or try and find someone else to talk to.
Then, at the end of the day, he finally cornered her.
" Oh.. H-hey Sasuke.. kun." Sakura statted nervously.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. He knew something was up.
" Sakura. Cut the act. What's up?" Sasuke said as politly possible, for him at least.
Sakura took a deep breath and sighed.
" It.. It's about, your friend Naruto."
Sasuke rose an eyebrow.
" Huh? The dobe?"
" Yeah.. him."
" What about him, Sakura..?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura started to fiddle with her shirt nervously and twiddle her thumbs nervously.
" ..? "
" Ok.. I do do know him. Actually, we know each other. We've been chatting on Myspace for about half a year.. You know, when he found out I was your girlfriend, he knew who I was. It just progressed from there.. Are you mad.?" Sakura asked nervously.
Sasuke just stared at her, and Sakura thought that he didn't even want to look at her. Then, she felt a hand slip between her fingers. She looked up into his face to see a smirk was gracing his face. Sakura blushed with emberessment.
" Of course not Sakura.. Why would I be mad? " Sasuke asked.
Sakura blushed a darker shade of red and said,
" I.. I thought you would be mad that I didn't tell you that we met, or something like that.." Sakura said with a sheepish smile.
Sasuke shook his head with amusment.
" I'm a little sad that you didn't tell me sooner.. It's ok though Sakura. Thanks for telling me the truth."
Sakura smiled a little and hugged the Uchiha's arm and dragged him to his car.
" As Shikamaru says, women can be really troublesome.." Sasuke muttered under his breath.
" What was that?" Sakura said, fire in her eyes.
" Nothing! Nothing.." Sasuke said, trying to keep him from getting pummeled by his own girlfriend.
" Hmph!" Sakura said and pouted in the shotgun of his shiny black corvet.
Sasuke just chuckled as the two drove away.
Not-What-I-Seem: So, what happened Sak? I mean about the other night with the teme..
xXCherryblossomsXx: Oh.. Well. Sasuke wanted to introduce me to you, but I hadn't told him that we had met before.. So I left..
Not-What-I-Seem: I see.. So you wussed out?
xXCherryblossomsXx: No! I did not wuss out!!
Not-What-I-Seem: Sure you didn't..
Sakura knew him too well now.
xXCherryblossomsXx: I didn't! And I did tell him the truth today. So there!
It took a moment for him to reply.
Not-What-I-Seem: Y-you did?
xXCherryblossomsXx: Yeah, I did!
Not-What-I-Seem: What did he say?
xXCherryblossomsXx: He said that he wasn't mad that I didn't tell him, but he did say that he was going to beat the shit out of you the next time that he sees you! -Smiles!-
Not-What-I-Seem: -Gulps!- Oh god Sak, thanks for ending my life! Sarcasim is implyed.
xXCherryblossomsXx: No problem!-Smiles!-
Not-What-I-Seem: But seriously, did he say that?
Sakura chuckled as she read this. He is soo freaked out! haha..!
xXCherryblossomsXx: No, he didn't say that. I just wanted to scare you! HaHa! You should see how you said it!
Not-What-I-Seem: You are so lucky that you're Sasuke's girlfriend, or else I would find you and beat the hell outta' you
xXCherryblossomsXx: Oh, how sad! You won't even try to beat me up cuz' you don't want to get beat up by my Sasuke-Kun! haha
Not-What-I-Seem: Whatever Sak..
xXCherryblossomsXx: Hey'a.. Naruto?
Not-What-I-Seem: .. Yeah?
xXCherryblossomsXx: .. Do you think that we'll ever meet in person?
Naruto didn't reply for a few minutes, then,
Not-What-I-Seem: It think we will, some day.. After all, Konoha isn't all that huge! We might have seen each other and not even know it
xXCherryblossomsXx: Yeah.. You're right.. But.. I..
Not-What-I-Seem: ? Hm?
xXCherryblossomsXx: .. Uh, nevermind.. Anyways I have to go. I'll talk to you tomorrow Naruto..

Sakura walked into her homeroom to find the bitch twins, I mean Amy and Karin, hanging all over Sasuke.
Sakura was pissed. She hated when they did that and so, she walked in and shut the door behind her. She put on a smile on her face and walked over to her seat and sat down.
" Sup?" Sakura asked the two girls, who glared as she sat next to their god.
" What the hell do you want?" Karin screeched.
Sakura just ignored them and started a conversation with Sasuke.
" Bitch, don't just ignore us. You're such a slut!" Amy cried out.
But Sakura didn't even aknowledge their existance. They were furiated and ,so they left. Sakura sighed and smiled.
" Whatever.."
" You sure know how to get rid of them.." Sasuke smirked in thanks.
" You're welcome!" Sakura grinned happily, while Sasuke just shook his head at the girl.
" Anyways.. I see you were talking with the dobe again.." Sasuke said in a hushed tone, so no one but her could hear him.
Sakura was confused, but said in a hushed tone too,
" ? What, what do you mean?"
" Oh, well, he told me about your little chat. You know the one where you said I was going to pummle him? " Sasuke smirked as she blushed at his knowledge.
" Oh.. That dobe.." Sakura said, a sweat kind of forming on her brow.
" Yeah, I mean Naruto.. So, how close have you two gotten'? " Sasuke asked with a serious tone.
" O-oh.. I.. I mean?" Sakura blushed scarlet.
" I'm kidding Saku.." He said, a smirk on his face for causing her nervousness.
Sakura pouted and crossed her arms in a huff, but Sasuke could only chuckle.
Not-What-I-Seem: So.. I found out I'm switching schools teme..
Uchiha1: ? Since when?
Not-What-I-Seem: Since now
Uchiha1: Are you moving out of Konoha?
Not-What-I-Seem: No, I'm just going to a different school here in Konoha.
Sasuke looked at the comment. Somehow, this sentence made him feel tense. He didn't know why.. But it did. He didn't know why, but it did.. It made him angry with his friend Naruto.
Uchiha1: I see.. Which school.?
Not-What-I-Seem: I don't know yet.. But maybe I could go to your school teme, it'd be cool to hang out again, like old times..
Naruto gave a smile at all the fun they had, being best friends..
Sasuke clenched his fists, even though he didn't know it.
Uchiha1: ..
Uchiha1: Yeah.. Maybe..
Not-What-I-Seem: Ok, I'll think about it..
Uchiha1: ..So, why are you moving schools..?
Not-What-I-Seem: Oh, Grandma Tsunade got a job transfer to the other part of town, so she needs us to move over here so it won't be such a pain in the ass to get to school, even if I have my car. So she thinks I should transfer to a new school her in Konoha.. I don't know though..
Uchiha1: I see.. So, when do you move?
Not-What-I-Seem: In about a month or two? I don't know for sure..
Uchiha1: ..
Not-What-I-Seem: Well.. I have to go teme.. Tsunade's going to kill me if I don't get down for dinner! See ya!
Uchiha1: .. Ok

Sasuke signed off his Myspace, and sat starring at his computer screen. His computer screen consisted of a picture off his friends.They were at Konoha park, in front of a cherry blossom tree, 6 months ago. Sasuke and Sakura stood in the middle holding hands and smiling at each other. Sasuke smiled at the picture when he saw his sweet cherry blossom smiling up at him..
Neji, Kiba, and Shikamaru stood behind him, laughing their asses off, while TenTen just gave a look of disgust at the boys for being so immature. Hinata stood besides her as well, smiling shyly at Kiba. Then Sasuke saw the beautiful Ino Yamanaka standing besides Sakura, she was smiling and her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
Sasuke, for some reason, couldn't keep his eyes off her.. She was so beautiful.. And he couldn't help but sort of drool at the Yamanaka. But then his mind kicked in and he shook his head furiously, knowing that his girlfriend was Sakura. But he still couldn't help it, he looked at Ino one more time, before heading down to dinner.
What he didn't know, was that Ino was looking at the same picture in her lavender colored room. She sighed, longingly.. She was looking at her boyfriend, Shikamaru.. but someone kept getting all of her attention. When she found herself staring at the Uchiha, she would shake her head and remind herself that she had a boyfriend.
But she couldn't help herself sometimes, and finally, she gave up trying to look at her current boyfriend, and just stared at Sasuke dreamily.. Wishing.. She was envyous of the girl that stood next to Sasuke, instead of her. It was Sakura, and she knew that Sakura was in love with Sasuke.. But, she couldn't help but sort of hate her best friend right now, even if she had her own boyfriend.
She scowled at Sakura, but knew she didn't have the right to do so.. And she felt bad for doing so.. She sighed and took one last look at the Uchiha boy, before making her way to her homework.
Shikamaru looked out the window, studying the clouds as he watched the sunset. He was happy, but something was hitting him. He didn't know what for sure, but he shrugged it off and continued to watch the sunset.
But, the feeling would keep coming back. Something was starting a rift in his group, but he didn't know what it was. Something that might stop the groups' friendship. Nothing had happened between any of them yet, but still.. He had a bad feeling that it was something that would change all of their lives.
He sighed and watched the clouds disappear in the night sky. He looked over at a picture, the same picture that Sasuke and Ino had been looking at, and saw his girlfriend.. It has something to do with her.. Shikamaru thought as he felt himself become tired and, making one last look at the picture, he feel asleep.
Kiba's wasn't in it at all.. He knew he was in love with the Hyugga the moment they had met. He sighed at the picture in his hand. (Yes they are all looking at the same picture at the same time, each one of them thinking of someone else, just letting you know)No, it was not Neji Hyugga, ew that's gross. But it was the Hyugga's cousin, Hinata..
She was smiling at him in the picture, whereas he didn't even notice. But now he did. Maybe she likes me? But.. I don't know.. She could have just been smiling at Shikamaru, although Ino would be pissed that Hinata was looking at her man. -sigh- I don't know anymore.. This whole thing sucks a-
" Kiba! Get down here now and take Akamaru for a walk, he's going to burst!" His sister yelled up the stairs to his room. Kiba rolled his eyes at his annoying sister and he made his way downstairs, but not before he took one last look back at Hinata.
Hinata..
Kiba.. A shy lavender haired girl said softly in her mind as she glanced at the picture they had took 6 months ago. That was when she started to develop a crush for the wild Inuzuka. She felt herself blush at the thought of him.
Hinata was in her light blue room, and the sun had set already. She was so happy that she was friends with him, but he never noticed her and her ways of showing that she liked him. He would sometimes notice that she was a little shy and start up a conversation, but in the end she would faint, and she would find herself in the arms of either TenTen or Ino, who was usually the one that yells at Kiba for making her faint.
She sighed and made her way out the door, not taking a look back whatsoever.. She had the memory of the picture already burned in her eyes, so she didn't need to. She went down for dinner.
Neji passed his cousin through the hallways and saw her shyly look down.
" Excuse me Neji.."
Neji nodded and walked away without a word. He had just had a basketball game out with TenTen and Lee. He passed Hinata's room and saw the picture that all of them had taken 6 months before. He went back and looked at it. He only saw one person that truly mattered. TenTen. He had nothing else to say, but that he liked her a lot.
He smiled at her usual disgusted look that she would give him at least once a week. I'm sorry to say, but Neji disgusted her often..
He just chuckled as he made his way out of the room.
TenTen walked into her lonely apartment. She had just got back from playing 1-on-1, on-1 with Neji and Lee. She was disappointed to go home, but she knew she had too. She smiled at the group picture as she passed by. She looked Neji, the guy that had been her best friend for like ever. She had fallen in love with him, but she knew that Neji would never love her.. She sighed and put a small smile on her face as she started making her dinner.
Sakura sat down at her desk in her room. She was really tired from her long day at school. She had barely made it home, after dinner. Meaning her mom was pissed at her for missing dinner without calling her. Sakura rolled her eyes at the arguement that the two had. She was quiet for awhile, but she started her english essay for Kakashi.
She was almost finished, when she found herself starring at a picture that her friends and her had taken 6 months ago. She smiled as her eyes made it to her and Sasuke in the middle, holding hands, looking at each other. She was happy then.. It was a little before she had met Naruto. And she sighed as she thought of him. She really wanted to meet this guy.. And she was frustraited that she didn't know what he looked like. But, oh well..
She just looked at Sasuke and her friends, but mostly Sasuke. She was in love with him and she knew it. She had to be, shouldn't she? But a nagging feeling was pulling on her heart. She knew something was up, yet she didn't know what.
She sighed in annoyance at that feeling. She tried to make it go away, but it would not leave. Something was in her heart, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Then his words came to her mind.. One that they had one day before Sasuke knew about their chats..
-Flashback-
xXCherryblossomsXx: Not all guys would say it..
Not-What-I-Seem: Well, then they're wusses..
xXCherryblossomsXx: But, what if they are too.. You know.. Too proud to say it?
Not-What-I-Seem: Then they don't truly love you..
Sakura gasped at what he said. She felt her heart break.
xXCherryblossomsXx: ..I see..
Not-What-I-Seem: If they truly love you, they would stop being so damn proud and tell you..
Sakura felt the upmost respect for him and smiled. She felt her heart thump faster and faster.. A blush crept up her cheeks..
xXCherryblossomsXx: You're right.. They should..
Not-What-I-Seem: ..Sak? You ok?
xXCherryblossomXx: .. Naruto.. Would you tell the person, you loved them?
Not-What-I-Seem: ..Yeah.. If I was in love with them.. Sakura does this have to do anything with Sasuke?
Sakura didn't know what to type.
xXCherryblossomsXx: .. I have to go Naruto.. I'll talk to you later..
Not-What-I-Seem: Maybe Sak.. He isn't the one for you..
She didn't say anything, but she knew that he may be right.
xXCherryblossomsXx: ..I'll talk to you later

-End of Flashback-
Sakura shook her head at the thought. She didn't want to believe that Sasuke was not the one for her. She wants to love him, but is it to much to say that she doesn't know if she loves him yet? She felt a little guilty for thinking these things, but what if Naruto was right, and they didn't belong.
Sakura frowned at the thought of them not being together. But then, the thought of Naruto made her heart beat hard against her chest. She didn't know what to do. She sighed and fell on her bed. She took one last look at the picture that she was staring at before. She looked at Sasuke. She knew that it wasn't right, and she only wished for one more person to be there in the picture with her.
Naruto..
With that she fell asleep, the picture still sitting besides her..
End
Ok, well, hope it was longer than the other one and I hope you liked it! Yeah, and Naruto's moving too, but where too? Note my sarcasim. Anyways, please review and I hope to see you all her soon, see ya!
