A/N: Ok, I know you guys are probably about ready to kill me now… Let's see what's on my excuse list for today: High school, band, tests, my life and its problems, a little drama, and a dash of illness. Hmm, that kinda sounds like the same old stuff you hear from other authors too, huh? Well, since you have been so patient, I've decided not to end the story at this chapter like I originally planned. I'm going to at least have it more than 5 chapters but not more than 10 or so. OH AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY NEW POLL!! I NEED EVERYONE'S OPINION ON THIS ONE REGUARDING FUTURE STORIES!!! THANK-YOU!! Oh, and someone pointed out that this seemed like a musical… Hehehe, I didn't purposely want to write a musical but, no it isn't. I just like it when characters in stories sing…like in some movies. :D
Summary: Sakura finds out that her so called 'boyfriend' Aneko cheated on her while she was away on a mission. When she finds out he's at a bar, she goes there with Ino, Tenten, Temari, & Hinata and sings him a song he'll never forget. But, little does she know that a pair of onyx eyes watches her the whole time…
Sam- Ok, I came back quicker than expected!
Naruto- Yay!!! You love us!!
Sam- I always have Naruto! But I think Hinata loves you more than I do…
Naruto- Wait, what was that?
Sam- Nothing…
Naruto- No, I'm sure you said something about Hin—
Sam- Want some ramen?!
Naruto- Do I ever!!!! You're the best Samantha-Chan!
Sam- Thanks Naruto! Oh, and incase any of you readers are wondering, Sakura took Sasuke back to her house so he can uhh…how do I put this?
Naruto- Basically Samantha-Chan hit him harder on the head than she thought, now the Teme has dain bramage…
Sam- It's brain damage Naruto…
Naruto- Yeah but didn't you say that your Geometry teacher says that too?
Sam- Actually, yes he does! Haha, he says it to be funny in class, though the only laughs I hear are sarcastic ones when he says his jokes.
Naruto- So, how's high school?
Sam- Well I went from a 3.8 to a 4.0 and I'm hoping to get higher after this third quarter but, we'll see how it goes! (Haha! That's the title! Lol)
Naruto- So what, you're a genius like me?!
Sam- Hahahaha you're funny…no I'm not a real genius but, I try. There are students who almost have a 5.0…
Naruto- 0.0 Damn, is your school filled with geniuses or something?!
Sam- Uhh no…Can we just get on with the chapter? I don't want to talk about school right now…There's some drama going on with a few of my friends that includes guys, if you know what I mean…
Naruto- Sure thing Samantha-Chan!! She doesn't own me!! If she did, she would make me kick Teme's ass in every fight we get into!
-Yelling from somewhere in the distance- I heard that you DOBE!!!
Recap:
"Hm, if I didn't know any better Teme, I'd say you were jealous of Neji asking Sakura out", he said hopping off the bed.
Said man snorted. "Then it's a damn well good thing you don't know anything."
Naruto refrained from beating the bastard to a pulp. "Just be lucky it wasn't a marriage proposal."
Oh, that was low, and to think Naruto would say something like that to him. He knew that struck a nerve. It didn't take any of Naruto's brain cells to alert him that the brooding Uchiha gave off a deadly 'Get-the-hell-away-from-me' aura. Naruto 'poofed' away, probably to Hinata's.
Sasuke sighed and decided to go get something to eat to stop the new hunger pain in his stomach and to figure out a way to get Sakura to agree to his query, without messing up his Uchiha pride.
The cherry blossom sighed. That's the last of that treacherous paperwork. She leaned back in her chair and glanced at the clock on her wall.
Oh shit! She's supposed to meet Neji in front of the park near the hospital now!
Quickly looking herself over and brushing her hair a couple times, she rushed to the elevator and waited for it to reach the bottom floor.
Back in the room with Sasuke and Naruto had been awkward. She had tried so hard not to stutter or mess up her words when talking to Neji.
Unbeknown to her dark haired and blonde patients, she had received a text from Neji and was texting him back while she was gathering bandages for Naruto's burn wounds.
Flashback
Sakura was walking to the cabinet when she felt vibrations in her pocket. Taking out her phone, she looked at the new message.
To: Sakura
From: Neji
Any Uchiha sightings yet?
Ooh, this was just perfect. She mentally smirked.
To: Neji
From: Sakura
Heyyy Naruto & Uchiha r here. Plan A in 10mins.
He texted back immediately.
To: Sakura
From: Neji
Gotcha. Turn ur vol. up all the way so u can hear it. Ttys.
And with that, she made her way over to the two males and begun healing them.
End of Flashback
That plan had turned out perfect! Sasuke's expression was priceless! Too bad she didn't have a camera. He probably didn't notice that little flicker of emotion. It almost looked as if he was jealous. Ha! Uchiha Sasuke? Jealous? That was the exact goal of her plan. She wanted the Uchiha to regret treating her like he had and how he thought of her as a tool. Kami, how she wanted to strangle him! But at the same time she wanted to jump on him and never let him go. Damn these hormones! One second she hates him, then there's this burning sensation in the pit of her stomach that triggers a small amount of regret for hating him. Kami was cruel to her. But, she had to focus at the plan she and Neji had just ignited. Hopefully the Uchiha would be curious as to where or what they were going to do, even though she wasn't going to get too close to Neji and be mushy or whatever. Maybe he would actually be jealous and, that's all she wanted. He had done so many horrible things to her and treated her like trash so, shouldn't she get some payback?
But, the one question still hung up in the air.
Would she really hurt him like he did to her when she still loved him?
Like I said, Kami is very cruel…
She snapped out of her thoughts and ran out of the elevator when it went 'Ding!'
Slowing down enough to spot her 'date' Sakura looked around for him.
Stopping at the park entrance, she looked around, puzzeled.
'Where is he?'
"You're late", said a deep voice behind her.
Slightly jumping, Sakura grinned sheepishly at him after turning around.
"Sorry, Tsunade dropped another stack of papers needing my signature on it ASAP and well, I got caught up and didn't notice the time…" she stated looking down.
He slightly smiled. "It's fine. But, you do look pretty stressed. How about getting a drink instead of lunch?"
She looked up at him. "That would be wonderful! I needed a drink anyway. Doing paper work and dealing with perverted patients is very stressful."
"Then let's go." He held his arm out for her to take before leading her to the sidewalk and walking towards the cluster of buildings up ahead.
'Such a gentleman. Tenten's so lucky to have him as an admirer. Eh, he's not my type anyway, just a brother-like figure…' she thought.
Tenten had already been informed by Neji and Sakura of their plan and approved of it. They both assured they wouldn't take it as far as kissing on the lips. But, if Sasuke needed an extra boost in being jealous enough to apologize, maybe a kiss on the cheek could be ok. Tenten thought the Uchiha needed to take that poll he has out of his ass and to stop being such a jerk.
Neji had also agreed to the conditions happily. He only saw the medic as a little sister, nothing more. He also agreed that the Uchiha should loosen up a bit and dare he say it: be whipped. He was too stubborn and hard headed in his opinion. Kind of like him before he had softened up thanks to a certain brunette kunoichi.
Unknown to our little blossom, Neji spotted the brooding dark-haired ninja stomp his way into the bar that they had all attended to some number of days ago. Smirking, he lead them both towards the bar, hoping this plan will work the way Sakura wanted it to.
They walked through the wooden doors and were greeted by thunderous beats of music and different colored lights moving everywhere.
After making their way over to the bar, the bartender inquired what they wanted to drink.
"Hm, I think I feel like having a margarita. And you, Neji?" she said turning to him.
"A cup of sake would be fine, thanks," he replied.
The bartender nodded and went to prepare their orders.
"That was perfect timing when you texted me," Sakura said.
"I figured since I hadn't heard from you I'd ask what was happening", he said shrugging.
"Well, you should've been there to see his face! Oh Kami, I should've taken a picture… It screamed jealousy!" she laughed.
He looked at her. "Isn't that what you want?"
She sighed. "I want him to admit it. To apologize for the way he's treated me and that I am not a 'tool'. And I know this last one will be a stretch but, If he would he is denying the fact that he likes me in some way, I want him to get over it and tell it to my face."
Looking down she continued. "But, hey, who am I kidding? Happy endings are for fairytales and I'm not sure what kind of ending will happen but…" she trailed off, "—we'll see."
Neji opened his mouth to comfort the girl but was beaten to it.
"Here are your drinks would you care for anything else?" The bartender placed the drinks on the table.
Sakura looked up and gave the man a fake smile. "No thanks! We're good."
He eyed Sakura suspiciously. "Hey aren't you that girl from a few days ago? The one who went on stage and got back at her boyfriend for cheating with some other girl?"
"Hahaha, yep that's me! Got that bastard back good!" Sakura said laughing.
Neji smirked.
"That performance was absolutely amazing! I haven't seen someone as talented as you on that stage in a long time! You must sing something tonight!" He exclaimed with a grin.
"Oh, I couldn—", she was cut off by Neji.
"She'd love to", he said grabbing her arm and taking her to the DJ booth.
She glared at the brunette. "Neji! What are you thinking!?"
He sharply turned around. "Trust me on this. There is a certain man that was sitting seven seats away from us who seemed a bit frustrated by himself. Tell him how you feel", he replied pushing her towards the back of the stage.
Neji spoke with the DJ. Having remembering Sakura from before, he complied with Neji's request for Sakura to sing a number or two.
Sakura peered from around the curtains. Who could Neji have been talking about? There were only about seven seats occupied. Let's see… A stalky-looking man with two women in each arm, what seemed to be a drunken man asking for more liquor, a slutty-looking girl around her age with some older bald guy (Ewww), and Sasuke. Hmm, nothing out of the ordin—wait. Sasuke?! She looked again to make sure her eyes weren't lying to her. Yep, it was him alright, and he didn't look too happy either. She let go of the curtains and went to go get the microphone from the DJ. She knew exactly what to sing.
The blaring music came to a halt. Hundreds of annoyed people looked towards the DJ booth glaring at him for stopping the music.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a special treat for you tonight. It seems that a couple of days ago, a certain mini-concert took place here in order for a girl to get some payback on her no-good cheating boyfriend. Well she just happens to be here again tonight! Please say hello to Ms. Sakura Haruno!!" The DJ dimmed all the lights and smoke started coming out of the back of the stage. (Remember it's in the shape of an 'E' but in an 'm' shaped way)
Sakura jumped through the smoke with a smirk and started swaying with the beat and started to sing.
Tell me why you're playing with my mind boy
You either do or don't
You will or you won't
Gotta make you open up your eyes
To see the things that you've done foul
And yes it hurts
I really don't understand
I wanna know if you're the man
Cuz if you're not the one
I'll have to take a stand
Although I'm crazy bout ya
I can live without ya
And you're wastin my time
Boy it's time I told ya
I can't wait no longer
Gotta make up your mind!
She looked over to see a shocked Sasuke. Well as shocked as he would appear to anyone who didn't know him well. She could see the uneasiness in his eyes and a hint of guilt in his stare. She walked over to side of the stage near Sasuke. She pretended not to notice him as she kept singing.
Tell me, tell me
I wanna know, I wanna know
Boy you're running out of time
Gotta make up your mind........
Tell me, tell me
I wanna know, I gotta go baby
This is how I feel inside
I won't waste your time or mine
'Duuuuude! .Hot. Just suck up your pride and apologize already so we can have her for ourselves!' shouted Sasuke's Inner.
'…'
'Oh come on!!' he whined. 'You want her as much as I do!'
'…'
'-rolls eyes- Why don't you stop acting like a big baby and go claim what's yours!?'
'…'
'Dear Kami!! You're so stubborn! If I was the outer…damn she and I would be in the middle of our honeymoon right now! Jeeze, why can't you just admit you're sorry!?' his inner yelled in frustration.
'…It's not that easy'
'Oh, he speaks!'
'Shut up. You know I'm no good with emotions, so stop bothering me about this.'
'Not until we get Sakura-Chan! Let me tell you if I was in your position, I'd confe—'
Sasuke blocked out the rest of his Inner's ranting. Hmph, never in a million years would he 'confess' his 'heart-felt feelings'. But, he had to admit. Sakura did look attractive in his eyes. Yes, he thinks she looks pretty. Just don't assume he'll go all lovey-dovey. Sasuke Uchiha doesn't work that way. His eyes stayed glued to her form, never leaving. He followed every movement, footstep, and watched her lips. Those oh-so-kissable lips…
Oh, I really just don't understand
After all I do for you
Still you show no gratitude
Although I'm dreamin bout ya
I can live without ya
And you're wasting my time
Why you wanna waste my time?
Boy it's time I told ya
I can't wait no longer
Gotta make up your mind!
Sakura panted as she bowed before the crowd around the stage. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sasuke sitting impassively on the bar stool. His hard gaze never leaving her figure. She felt a shiver go down her spine. Those onyx pools always seemed to draw her in no matter how she felt or what condition she was in. Damn, curse him and his magnetic eyes…
Her attention was directed back to the crowd who was screaming for more.
The pink-haired kunoichi smirked.
Oh hell yes, there was going to be more.
A/N: Yay!!!! A faster update!! Woot! :D I'm so happy I got this chapter done!!! Phew!

Naruto- Hey Teme! Get back here!!!
Sasuke- What is this about my brother?
Sam- Nothing.
Sakura- Yeah, what she said.
Sasuke- Liars.
Sam- There's nothing going on here! Now, where's my laptop?
Naruto- Why do you need that?
Sam- So I can magically bring Itachi-kun back to life in my story.
Sasuke- WHY!?
Sakura- Cause she feels like it. Plus, he's super HOT.
Sam- Amen to that!!
Saskue- Sakura…
