Sasuke opened up eyes to see everyone just staring at him. "What."

His best friend gave him a look. "Are you high? You just agreed to go on a date with Ino fucking Yamanaka."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I just wanted her to shut up. You guys would have given me hell too if I said no."

They all shared looks around the table. "Well yeah," Naruto started, "but still! I mean, it's just not gonna end well. Especially when she tells Sakura right now."

"Why would her telling Sakura end badly?" Sasuke asked while folding his arms.

Kiba scoffed. "Earth to Sasuke. Sakura hears her run her mouth about you all the damn time. Imagine what's gonna happen now."

Temari nodded while finishing off her soda. "He's completely right."

Naruto sternly looked at his friend. "So what are you gonna do?"

He looked at the blonde and the rest of the table waiting for his answer. He did what he did best in situations like those. He shrugged and closed his eyes.

Hinata pushed her way through couples, girls, and boys ogling her and her chest just to reach Ino now walking out the bathroom. "Ino, where's Sakura?"

She moved a lock of blonde hair out of her view. "She said, she was gonna wash off a chocolate stain on her shirt."

She nodded. "Well, I'm gonna check on her."

She gave her a small smile. "Alright, see you back at the table."

She nodded once more before she entered the bathroom. She scanned her pearly lavender eyes around the restroom, not to find anybody. Within seconds, she heard the distinct sound of someone throwing up. "Is that you Sakura?"

A moment later Hinata heard more retching, making her cringe at the sound. After a couple of coughs she got an answer. "Yeah." Sakura responded sickly. She walked over to the open stall she didn't notice earlier and took a peek inside. It was the worse possible way for her to see Sakura. Slumped over a toilet, with a silent tears running down her porcelain cheeks, and a sickly pale color gracing her face as well. She frowned at her appearance. The Sakura she knew would never act this way. At least not over something like this.

She entered the stall. "Sakura, are you okay?" Hinata asked while getting on her knees next to her. Sakura sniffled and nodded in response. She frowned once more at the sense of something wasn't practically right at the moment. Sakura wouldn't cry over Ino going out with Sasuke, she would be happy so Ino could shut the hell up and Sakura could live in peace and quiet without hearing a bunch of words about Sasuke. "What's wrong?"

She licked her lips before speaking. "Hinata?" Sakura said in a light scratchy voice.

She looked at her with expectance. "Yes Sakura?"

Sakura looked down at the white cracked and surprisingly clean bathroom floor and was about to tell Hinata, hopefully something, she wouldn't regret. "Hinata, I love Sasuke."

Sasuke continued to glare at all his friends who wouldn't stop pestering him and basically yelling at him like he's a god damned child. "It's not that serious, so could you all please just leave me alone." He said in a malice tone. The whole group was tired of yelling at the Uchiha and ganging up on him, but he had to get it through his head that he just entered a danger zone between two friends. He got it by now, they could see, but he still didn't get it get it at the same time.

He ran a hand through his blonde hair in frustration. "You can't just expect to go on one date with Ino and get out afterwards."

He shrugged once more. "I'll deal with it when it happens."

Temari gave the boy a curious look. "What the hell are you gonna do when this shit blows up in your face?"

A sigh blew through his lips. "I don't know."

Kiba snorted. "Oh my gosh, someone get a camera. Sasuke Uchiha just said he doesn't know what he's gonna do. Mr. Solution To Everything actually doesn't have an answer."

He glared at the canine lover. "Shut it Spongebob boy."

Naruto took a moment to laugh before speaking up. "I got an idea."

"What's your idea Naruto?" Ino said from behind him.

She nodded in understanding. "I know you love Sasuke, Sakura. He's your brother."

A defeated smile formed on her lips. "No Hinata, I love him. As in I love him, love him. As in I want him and me to be together. As in I don't want Ino to lay a hand on him."

She registered the information and smiled. "I'm happy for you Saku. Being in love is a nice thing."

A sigh of relief spilled out her lips. "Thank you Hina, for not disowning me in all."

She shook her head. "It's not that serious. You know you and Sasuke aren't blood related, so why does it bother you that much?"

She raked a hand through her hair to move it out her face. "That's the thing; it feels like we're blood related. We've grown up together, did stuff together, and witnessed each other go through changes and much more. It's just a bond that can't be broken. I don't even know how he feels about me. I would look an idiot in front of him; if I told him I loved him and he didn't say the same thing back. I don't think I could ever face him again if that happened."

She nodded once more before starting to stand up. "Well, we need to get you cleaned up and back to the group, before they get suspicious and start asking unnecessary questions."

Sakura nodded and hoisted herself up. "You're right." She mumbled before flushing the toilet. She then made her way towards the sink. After waiting till the water got hot, Sakura ran the paper under it once more and rung it out. She placed the steaming paper towel on her face to hide the puffiness and open her pores. Hinata watched from afar as her friend tried to eagerly get rid of the puffiness and redness from eyes. She then removed the towel from her face the puffiness went down, but her face looked even redder, so she ran the paper towel under the cold water and placed it on her face once more. Letting it close her pores and relax her face. She peeled it off once more and then made her way over to Hinata and threw it away. "Alright let's go."

As they left the bathroom, Sakura noticed the ice cream place and cursed herself for her sweet tooth. "I'm sorry to say this Hinata, but I want more ice cream."

She gave her friend a questioning look. "I'll grab something with you then."

She smiled and hooked her arm with the shorter girl's. "I'm glad you're not judging me."

She giggled slightly before replying. "Trust me, I am."

Her baby blue eyes looked into his darker blue ones. "So what was that idea of yours Naruto?"

He pursed his lips in defeat before speaking. "Uh, Sasuke, you, Gaara, and Sakura are going on a double date."

Her face instantly let up at the idea while the two boys glared at Naruto. "Ooh, that sounds like fun. Good idea Naruto. Doesn't that sound like fun Sasuke?"

Sasuke kept his eyes narrowed at his best friend. "It sounds peachy Ino." He then looked over to the Gaara with a smug look on his face. He then felt his phone vibrate.

From: Gaara Sabaku

I can't wait.

As soon as Sasuke read the message, he glared at the phone screen. He knew what he meant; he didn't forget that Gaara had a thing for Sakura back when they were twelve.

Watch yourself Sabaku.

Review please :]
