A/N: I doubt anyone reads this anymore, but just in case, here's a recap:

So basically, Sakura took something for granted, put a group photo of five boys on her cell phone and caused them to fall in love with her. Only Sasuke knows what's going on so far. Sakura found out that in order to break the curse, she has to kiss one of the boys, but they can't know that. The festival is coming up, and all the boys are anxious to ask her. Lastly, Neji has forgotten who Ten Ten is, which is the doing of the curse.

"What were you saying again, Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked Neji, trying to detach himself from the pang of jealously he had just recieved. Neji put his hands into his pockets and looked towards the sky distantly.

"Some girl I don't know said that I do know her," He repeated, just as dully as before. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"What's her name?" He asked suspiciously. He was probably also feeling the premonition that Sakura had.

"Ten Ten," Neji replied, frowning. Sakura froze. What was Neji talking about? Of course he knew Ten Ten. Before this whole cell phone wallpaper curse, the two had been flirting, and possibly in love. Before...before the wallpaper curse. What was happening?

Sasuke and Sakura exchanged looks of worry and maybe a bit of fear.

"Neji…but y…you and Ten Ten"—

Sasuke quickly nudged Sakura roughly, silencing her. She glanced up at him with a questioning look. Neji looked on with a raised eyebrow.

"Do I know Ten Ten?" Neji asked. Sasuke shrugged casually while secretly squashing Sakura's foot to keep her from blurting out.

"I guess not," The Uchiha replied. By now, Sakura had tears in her eyes from the pain, and Sasuke retaliated, feeling slightly guilty.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked, once he saw Sakura's teary-eyed face. She nodded, smiling.

"Yeah, I just got something in my eye," She lied before shooting Sasuke an angry glare. He promptly ignored her and continued to walk on.

"Sakura, the festival's"—

Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru and Neji all exchanged certain stares as they all said that sentence simultaneously. Sasuke scoffed lightly at them.

"Let's go to the festival together," Sasuke said, teasing the other boys. Tension instantly flared up. Sakura sent him another light glare. He was definitely not being a help this morning.

"Oh, sorry, I was already going with someone else," The pink-haired girl said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. Sasuke cocked up an eyebrow.

"You're kidding," He scoffed. She gave him a quick wink and gestured to the other boys.

"Nope. I'm really going with someone else," Sakura lied charmingly. Naruto gripped onto her arm, catching her off guard.

"B…but we were supposed to go together, Sakura-chan! I even had a schedule planned out!" He whined. Sakura flashed him an apologetic look.

"If you're not going with Sasuke, then who are you going with?" Neji demanded, crossing his arms suspiciously.

"It's a secret," Sakura chirped before walking ahead of them. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Where was she going to find a fake date?

However, there were more important things to think about other than the festival. Neji had forgotten about Ten Ten. His whole memory of her had vanished. The two had been friends since grade school, and he couldn't remember anything of their relationship. If this was the curse's doing, then something worse could happen to all of them. Sasuke frowned visibly.

"Oh, the festival's already the day after tomorrow! I'm going insane!" Ino sighed, ruffling her blonde hair. The girls were currently in the classroom, adding final touches to their stand.

Ten Ten was bluntly thrusting glitter at the stand with an emotionless face. Sakura cast her a nervous look. She hoped that Neji hadn't said anything about her being in the situation.

"Hey, Ino. I haven't seen you and Shikamaru together lately. Did you guys break up?" Ten Ten asked. Sakura froze. A flash of dark emotion went through Ino's eyes, and she frowned.

"We're just…taking a break," The blonde replied. She was hurt, Sakura could tell. Ten Ten stopped throwing glitter.

"He hasn't…said anything about forgetting you, has he?" She questioned further. Ino gave Sakura a curious look before answering.

"Well…I haven't really talked to him in a while," Ino said cautiously. Ten Ten dropped the whole cup of glitter.

"Sakura, what do you think of this? Isn't it strange?" She asked innocently, turning to the pink-haired girl. She gulped and shook her head.

"N…no…I…" She started, but didn't know what to say. Temari and Hinata were watching on intently.

"How about you, Hinata? Has Naruto talked to you lately?" Ten Ten continued. Hinata blinked, slightly confused.

"N…not often…" She admitted. Ten Ten scoffed and put her hands on her hips.

"Of course. You know, there's something wrong with all the guys," She stated. Sakura didn't say anything, afraid to bring attention to herself.

"You're probably just mad because Neji rejected you," Temari smirked while the brunette shot her an angry look.

"I-I'm not. And he didn't just reject me. He said he didn't know me," Ten Ten explained, half shouting now. By now, Ino was clearly giving Sakura a look that said 'explain-everything-to-me-now.'

"Then he said he's 'in love' with someone else," Ten Ten spoke while her eyes dangerously flared towards Sakura. She flinched. She had no idea that Ten Ten could be this frightening.

"Oh, Sakura, can you go with me to get my notebook really quick? I think I forgot it back in the choir room," Ino said, quickly clutching onto the said girl's arm and dragging her outside forcefully.

"What the hell was that all about?" The blonde asked once they were at the end of the hall. Sakura shifted uncomfortably.

"Honestly, I have no idea," She finally admitted, frowning deeply. Ino mirrored her expression. She began pacing around.

"This isn't good. Sakura, don't you know how to break it?" She asked quite desperately. Sakura nodded quickly after realizing that she had forgotten to tell Ino. She looked around, making sure that none of the boys were around.

"I have to kiss one of them. But you can't tell them that. If one of the boys finds out how to break the curse, it can't be broken anymore," She hissed. Ino sighed in relief, much to Sakura's surprise.

"Then just do it," She stated, grinning. She blushed back.

"It's not that simple! I mean…" She trailed off nervously. Ino rolled her eyes knowingly.

"You have five different boys to choose from. Actually four, since I hope you're not counting Shikamaru," The blonde said, sticking her tongue out. Sakura giggled, calming down.

"Of course not. But really, when I kiss someone, I want it to be for a good reason," She explained carefully. Ino huffed.

"This is a good reason. You have to get these guys off your tail or else Ten Ten will murder you," She pointed out, crossing her arms. Ino was right. Sakura had to end things quickly before something bad happened.

"At the festival…! At the festival…I'll try to…" Sakura trailed off, pouting and sighed. Ino put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't force yourself too much. I guess it just takes time. Just don't take too long. I want my Shika-kun back," Ino said jokingly. Sakura managed to laugh along with her.

"Oh? A festival at school?" Mikoto questioned before a large cat-like smile swept over her features. Itachi chuckled as Sasuke cringed visibly.

"You told her?" Sasuke asked, looking over uncertainly at his plotting mother.

"Sasuke-chan will be there too, won't she?" Mikoto asked, now smiling innocently.

"Yes, but we probably won't even get to see each other since we'll be busy with the stands," He replied. Itachi scoffed.

"So you do want to see her," His older brother stated calmly, still staring straight at his book. Sasuke scowled at him.

"I never said that," He said back, crossing his arms. Itachi smirked.

"But you implied it," He countered back. Sasuke threw a pillow in his face and cursed at him.

"Speaking of which, where is little Sakura-chan right now?" Itachi questioned as he placed the pillow back in its original spot. Mikoto turned to her youngest son with a curious expression.

"I think she said she was staying behind at school for tutoring," Sasuke replied coolly before turning away. Mikoto looked worried.

"It's already five. Don't you think you should go pick her up, Sasuke-chan? After all, what if she's flirting with another boy right now?" She asked, pouting. Itachi simply nodded in agreement. If Sasuke wasn't affected by the curse, he would've said no. Or not.

He stood up hastily and walked out the door without a goodbye. Mikoto smiled triumphantly.

"Mother…it's only four o'clock," Itachi commented after happening to glance at the clock. His mother's smile widened.

"He doesn't know that."

"I'll walk you home, Sakura-san," Neji said after closing his chemistry book. Sakura nodded in dismay. Even after an hour and a half of tutoring with Neji, she still couldn't understand a thing.

"I can try tutoring you again next week," He offered kindly as he shrugged his bag onto his shoulders. She smiled up at him gratefully.

"I'd like that," She replied as she bounced up onto her heels and walked with him out of the door. She sighed.

"I'm really sorry though, Neji-kun. You have to stay with me here just to try and tutor me…and I can't even understand anything," Sakura frowned. He shook his head.

"It's really alright. I have nothing else to do anyway," He informed her before offering a very slight smile.

"I enjoy your presence," He commented out of the blue. She blinked towards him, slightly confused.

"Ano…thank you…" She replied uncertainly. He glanced down and looked back up instantly, as if nervous.

"May I…hold your hand?" Neji asked gently. Sakura nearly gaped. Hyuuga Neji was asking if he could hold her hand. He certainly was going insane through love.

"No," Another voice scoffed ahead of them. Neji and Sakura both looked up to see Sasuke standing in front of them, arms crossed. Neji began to glare at him.

"I was not asking you," He said harshly before swiftly grabbing onto Sakura's hand. Sasuke straightened up.

"She didn't even answer yet, Hyuuga. What gives you the right to hold onto her hand?" He demanded. Sakura merely looked back in forth, growing anxious.

"I am sure that she would have answered yes," Neji stated calmly as he smugly tightened his grip around her small hand. She bit her bottom lip.

"Bastard"—

Sakura squeezed her eyes shut.

"Sto"—

"Hm. High school boys really do cause a lot of trouble, don't they, Sakura-chan?"

Sasuke sighed at the familiar voice as he turned around. Neji slowly released Sakura's hand.

"Now, why don't you hold onto my hand?" Itachi asked, almost happily, as he grasped onto her hand. He led her away from the arguing boys, smirking all the while.

"I thought you would bring her home safely, Sasuke-chan," Itachi commented mockingly. Neji smirked suddenly.

"Hm. See you later, Sasuke-chan," The Hyuuga said before taking his leave. Sasuke gritted his teeth before speedily catching up with Sakura and his older brother.

"I could've handled that," He pointed out. Itachi rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, with your fists probably. I handled that merely with words," He replied.

"You can let go of her hand now, you know," Sasuke muttered moodily after a while. Itachi smiled.

"I'd rather not. Sakura's hand is very soft," He said, causing the girl to blush lightly. Sasuke gritted his teeth lightly. He walked quickly to her side, and grasped onto her other hand, catching her off guard. She whipped her head up, eyes wide. Itachi smirked.

"Don't give me that look, Itachi," Sasuke snapped, looking in any direction except at Sakura. She smiled softly at him as she gave his hand a light squeeze.

And they walked the rest of the way like that. Sasuke would get into an argument with Itachi once in a while, with Sakura merely giggling at them.

After a strangely delicious dinner and a hot, relaxing bath, Sakura was heading towards her room, deciding to finally call it a day.

"Are you…going with any of the guys to the festival?" A voice questioned her. She turned around and wasn't at all surprised to see Sasuke standing there, looking awkward and embarrassed.

"Oh…um, no, I'm not. I figured that I'd be really busy with the stand, so I decided not to go with anyone," The pink-haired girl replied while casually drying her hair with her towel. He hesitated.

"Okay. Just…making sure," He replied slowly.

"But…well…if I have some time, we could probably go get some dango together," She offered, smiling. He blinked, mildly surprised.

"I'd like that," Sasuke replied without thinking. She beamed at him.

"Alright. Let's work hard at our stands then!" Sakura announced, bunching her small hands into fists. He nodded as she swiftly disappeared into her room.

Sasuke stared at the door of her room before sighing heavily.
