Hello! Oh god I am so glad I don't have this busy schedule at school anymore! But I still have a pretty busy day, but not crazy. I mean I have to go get my drinks for tonight since there's this huuuuge party at my friend's house, and it's her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA BTW! :D And I have to go take a shower, guitar lesson at 4, and then work 5-8. Yea... it's 12:30 right now sooo... I'll try to write as much as I can but I can't guarantee it'll be out within an hour... or else it's gonna seem rushed :S

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto m'dears!

Some joys are better expressed in silence, as a smile holds more meaning than laughter. I was asked if I enjoyed meeting you in my life ... I just smiled.

"What next? Marriage?" Kiba asked, smirking devilishly.

"Oh shut up." Sasuke sneered.

"What?" Dog boy protested, laughing. "Not everyday you get to hear the mighty Uchiha confessed, and then you figure out he actually did..."

Sasuke twitched as Kiba's smile grew bigger and mischievous. Kiba clasped his hand together and laughed. "Honestly! Is Sakura's warm smile melting the frozen Sasuke?"

That earned him a smack on the head.

Kiba growled and rubbed the back of his head, pouting as he stared at the annoyed Uchiha prodigy. "I said shut the fuck up." Sasuke snapped. Kiba smiled innocently, still rubbing the back of his head.

"Sasuke-san!" A childlike voice shouted gleefully.

Sasuke groaned and Kiba couldn't help but burst out in hysterical laughter as Sasuke smashed his head on the counter in front of him several times. "Not your day is it Uchiha?" Neji's smart ass voice said as he took a seat beside him and ordered a bowl of ramen.

"I have heard about the youthful confession you have youthfully made earlier to dear stunning Sakura-san! Our Sakura-san has now bloomed! How very youthful of you! Youth is bursting from you Sasuke-san!" Lee gaily exclaimed, jumping in excitedly behind Sasuke who was sweatdropping.

Kiba's roaring laughter increased at the Uchiha's face.

Furrowed eyebrows, annoyed expression, lips forming a thin line, eyes showing death. Oh yea... we can't forget how the hair at the back of his neck seemed to stand up.

It was priceless.

The raven haired boy turned to look at the now smirking Neji, who had stopped eating his ramen when Lee's speech caught his attention. Sasuke scowled and turned abruptly to the counter, snapping to the cook to get him a bowl of ramen. And a hot tea.

"Shall we hear the youthful proposal soon?" Lee beamed.

Sasuke ignored the merry boy's question, but soon his attention was once again directed to Lee as his confused voice spoke up:

"...is it normal that Sakura-san is hugging another guy right now?"

The area seemed to freeze entirely. Kiba abruptly stopped laughing as the dark aura emitted by Sasuke seemed to grow with each passing second. His dark eyes were now fierce, jealous and furious. Neji's smirk had disappeared. Lee was still oblivious to it all.

It all went by in slow motion. Kiba and Neji were now frowning as Sasuke slowly turned around and stood up from his chair, the way his eyes formed a glare that was directed to Lee. Lee slowly bringing a shaky hand to point at his left. Sasuke's deathly eyes following the direction Lee was pointing at. His eyes widening. Body becoming very stiff. Fists clenching.

And he was gone within half a second.

True love can be felt more in the silence than in the words.

"Sakura!" A voice called out.

Sakura turned around, her eyes showing pure confusion, before she immediately recognized the person and tackled them in a tight hug.

"Rai-kun!" She exclaimed cheerfully, tightening her grip on the brown haired man. "Oh my god! Rai-kun! What are you doing here?!" She exclaimed, pulling away from the man and looking down at him to examine the changes.

Rai was 6'1, had emerald green eyes shining with such happiness, brown shaggy hair much like Kiba's, a very well built form, a washed-out chemise that was halfway unbuttoned to reveal a black beater, some black trousers. And to finish it all off, he had his sword attached on his back. It was standing at least 6 foot tall and was about 15 centimetres wide.

Rai laughed heartedly. "Just passing by for a visit." He grinned.

Sakura smiled happily, hugging the boy one more time as tightly as she could without hurting him. Rai returned the hug and lifted her up in the air to twirl her around. "I missed you Sakura!" He said, bringing the girl down to hug her tightly. She laughed and returned the hug. "I missed you too!"

The area seemed to darken suddenly. Tension and anger hung in the air, and she wondered who's dark chakra it was. Suddenly, as she was violently torn away from Rai, she knew who it was when she caught the glimpse of raven hair.

Rai was thrown against the brick wall behind him, pinned to the wall by a furious and jealous Sasuke.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Sasuke sneered at Rai aggressively.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted, running over to Sasuke and trying to push him off. "Sasuke-kun it's not what you think!"

"Then what the hell is it?!" Sasuke yelled.

As Sakura was about to retort, a voice spoke up.

"Rai-kun!" A female voice called out.

Their attentions were turned to the 5'6 foot tall girl running towards them, worry and confusion in her eyes. The wind flew threw her long white hair, lifting them and making them hover in the air as she was running towards them, her unusual dark purple eyes showed pure concern for the boy against the wall. She stopped besides Sasuke and gripped his wrist, trying to take it off of Rai's throat.

"Let him go!" She angrily snapped.

Sasuke let Rai go, his eyes showing pure confusion. Sakura growled and glared at him, before doing a huff sound and helping Rai up. Sasuke could only stare with complete shock and perplexity. Rai let out a grunt and rubbed his throat, taking in sharp breaths. Both girls turned to glare at Sasuke, but it was Sakura who spoke first.

"I told you it wasn't what you thought it was. Now if you allow me, let me introduce you to Rai Tsubasa, my best friend, and Kumiko Suki, his fiancée."

Now Sasuke felt very stupid just then. No but I mean, he felt mentally retarded big time.

"Say something, baka!" Sakura growled, walking towards him menacingly.

Sasuke looked down, not knowing what he should say. "Sakura-"

"Don't you Sakura me! You shouldn't be trying to apologize to me! Apologize to him!" She yelled, pointing to Rai who was still against the wall and seemed to be breathing normally again.

Sasuke ran a hand through his hair and sighed, looking up to meet Rai's gaze. He knew a simple sorry would suffice for him but the words just wouldn't seem to come out of his mouth. He glanced at Sakura almost pleadingly.

Sakura huffed and looked away, crossing her arms on her chest. Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed and he sighed almost irritably. "...Gomen..." He muttered.

Rai found it somewhat amusing, and so decided to lean forward, cupping his ear. "I'm sorry what did you say?"

Sasuke eyes snapped back to look at him and he gritted his teeth. "I said gomen" He snapped.

"No problem." Rai grinned.

Sasuke growled and looked down, glaring at his feet. Sakura giggled at Sasuke's irritated mood and walked over to him, kissing his cheek. "There. It wasn't so hard now was it?" She softly asked, cupping his cheek as he looked away with a tinge of bright pink on his cheeks. She turned his face back to hers, earning a grunt from the man. "Come on. We're going home Sasuke-kun." She gently said as she brought the hand that was cupping his cheek down to grab his hand.

Bound by the earth and forest. So to the water and sea. By the air we breathe and the fire within, connected to the stones of old in perfect circle. We two are as one. Together forever, in love.

"How long have you guys been together?" Rai asked as he took a seat on the other couch, his eyes directed on Sasuke's bored face.

Sasuke moved his lazy gaze to Rai's smiling face, grunting in annoyance. Rai laughed heartedly, much to his surprise. As his laughter subsided, Rai smiled at Sasuke and extended his hand out to Sasuke. Sasuke could only give him a questioning look. "Look, maybe we started off on the wrong side. So what do you say we start all over again?" Sasuke stared at his hand for a couple of seconds, before hesitantly and weirdly grabbing his hand and shaking it. "Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke monotonously said. Rai grinned and shook his hand firmly. "Rai Tsubasa." Sasuke smirked.

"Boys!" Kumiko's gentle voice called out, peaking around the corner of the kitchen to look at them both.

Both boys released their hands as they turned to look at the smiling Kumiko. "Dinner's ready." She said, grinning. They both stood up, Rai smiling at his fiancée as he walked towards the kitchen table. As he passed by her, he slid an arm around her waist and leaned down to steal a quick kiss, before releasing her and sitting down at the table. Sasuke nodded at the very happy baby blue eyed Kumiko as he passed by and he sat down across Rai. Suddenly he looked up at Kumiko in confusion. "Weren't your eyes dark purple before?" He asked rather dully.

Kumiko laughed and put her hands on her hips, smiling broadly. "They change color depending on my mood." She casually said.

Sasuke nodded, turning his head to look at his girlfriend who was cooking, eyebrows crumpled in concentration. He chuckled, catching everybody's attention. Sakura was surprised to say the least. Sasuke rarely chuckled with people around. Much less, he rarely chuckled final period.

But later they shrugged it off.

As they were all silently eating, occasionally looking up to the others to say a few things, Sasuke looked up to meet Rai's gaze and opened his mouth to speak. "Almost a year." Sasuke said, smirking at Rai. Rai returned the smirk and nodded, making both girls stare at them in confusion.

"...almost a year what?" Sakura curiously asked.

Sasuke's smirk only grew wider as he twirled the noodles around his fork, slipping the food in his mouth, his eyes never leaving his girlfriend's utterly puzzled ones. "Sasuke-kuuun!" Sakura whined. "What are you guys talking about?" Sasuke knew what was coming up next and immediately looked down to his food to escape her irresistible pout and puppy eyes. He wouldn't last for much longer, since he could feel her pleading stare on his face. Her hand crawled up to his and she caressed it softly, making him look up at her pleading face. As he opened his mouth to speak, Rai spoke up before him.

"Just guy stuff Sakura. Don't worry about it."

Sasuke almost sighed aloud of relief, and leaned back in his chair, taking another bite of noodles and now keeping his eyes on his food. He heard a defeated sigh and refrained himself from smirking, knowing fully it was Sakura who was giving up. "Fine." She gloomily said, pouting.

Later on that night, Rai and Kumiko had to leave. As Sasuke said goodbye to the both of them, he exchanged a smirk with Rai, which the said boy returned, winking. The pinkette raised a questioning eyebrow to her boyfriend as the couple entered the car and closed the door, waving goodbye. "What was that all about?" She asked, raising her hand up to wave goodbye, smiling. "Hn." Sasuke smirked and slid his right arm around her waist, nodding at both people in the car as they rolled away.

Sakura watched Sasuke's serene face, and couldn't help but notice the small smile tugging at his lips as he watched the car roll away. His raven locks hovered with the wind as it blew and caressed their skin soothingly, his eyes tranquil, and his face expression purely peaceful. Sakura then looked at the car rolling away at the end of the road and back to Sasuke's quiet but content expression. A soft smiled grazed her lips.

A beautiful friendship would grow between Rai and Sasuke.

At least, that's what Sakura believed.

The first time I saw you, I knew it was true, that I'd love you forever, and that's what I'll do. You don't know what you do to me, you don't have a clue, you don't know what it's like to be, me looking at you.
