D: This story is just going the way I planned, but the next chapter should be better. Thank-you all for the wonderful reviews! I didn't expect that many since the that chapter was worse than this one, but each and everyone of you made me smile :)

"You told him?!" Ino yelled as soon as the story was out. The small group of girls sat on their beds, listening patiently to Sakura's sob filled story. Everyone was shocked to hear the Haruno Sakura crying, but after hearing the story none of the three were very surprised.

"No, I accidently let it slip." Sakura bit her lip anxiously. "He was so angry for absolutely no reason though! So what if Itachi and Sasori kissed me." Ino nodded sympathetically. "It's...It's none of his business what I do with my spare time."

"Come on, Sakura. You know how Sasuke is. He's super possessive. It just means that your plan worked perfectly – he likes you." Tenten offered. "If I were you I'd be jumping up and down. Didn't you say you were going to crush him after he fell for you?" She pulled out her cell phone and texted an apology to Neji in case the 'crisis' Sakura was going through would take all night.

"Tenten's right, weren't you going to dump him as soon as he confessed? Instead he kisses you, gets jealous, and you slap him?" Ino questioned as she painted Hinata's nails.

Sakura buried her head in her pillow and mumbled something. "We can't hear you Sakura." Hinata said softly.

The pink-haired girl lifted her head quickly. "The plan has changed. I like him too." Tears pooled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry. Instead, she ground her teeth together before letting out a scream. "How do you guys till with the guilt of making your boyfriends sad?"

Tenten and Ino laughed. "You know me, I don't feel guilty. Shikamaru's too lazy to ever get ahead in life without a push, plus, he doesn't get hurt when I call him names. Even when we fight and I try my hardest to make him feel bad I end up failing."

"Neji doesn't care about insults and hitting him doesn't work. You're asking the wrong group of girls about this." Tenten saw Sakura glance at Hinata and sighed. "The idiot she's going out with is so thick he wouldn't know and insult from a compliment. This is unfamiliar ground you're walking on. I suggest you play it by ear."

Sakura groaned before flipping herself onto the bed again. "You guys are absolutely no help. If you want, you can go back to your boyfriends now." She closed her eyes before bolting up. "Wait-," she stopped before looking around at the now empty room, "dammit, this is very familiar." She lay back onto the soft bed and closed her eyes.

….Some trip this is. She thought before falling asleep.

"Wake up, I'm not going to be here for much longer." A voice said angrily. "You sleep like a rock, you know." The voice continued now amused.

She stirred before opening her eyes groggily. "What the? Sasuke? What are you doing in my room?" She asked the Uchiha who sat at the end of her bed. He glared at her and she rolled her eyes, lying back down before curling up in a ball. "Go away; I don't want to talk to you."

She could feel the glare he gave her but decided to ultimately ignore him. Finally, he broke her perfect silence. "I'm sorry." Her eyes widened at his words. So far that made two times he'd apologized to her.

"It's my fault." She whispered, not looking at him. "The two kissed me at the party, that's why I left," she paused before adding (with just a hint of spite), "even though no one seemed to notice." She sighed, hugging her pillow tightly. "Anyways, it doesn't matter if they kissed me," she ignored the feeling as her face grew hot, "I only kissed you back."

Sasuke smirked before crawling onto her bed, lifting himself right above her curled figure. Sakura rolled onto her back, now face to face with the Uchiha, and pushed him off the bed. "You'll have to wait a while for that, pervert." She rolled away from him to face the wall and curled up again.

Sasuke smirked as he sat up. Leaning against her bed, he sighed. "Kakashi told me your plan."

"Oh? What plan?" She asked in fake innocence, plan already forming in her mind how to get her teacher alone to kill him.

"The plan to make me fall for you and then get my heart broken, of course." He chose to ignore he comment on 'what little heart you have left' and continued. "He told me the first day I came back and I want to let you know that your plan failed." She froze. "I might like you, but you have feelings for me too." His voice grew quiet and she strained herself to hear him. "If you can, I'd just like…I'd just like to forget about the past and go out with you."

She didn't move at his words. In her head she knew that this was all according to her original plan, but then her head flashed the words 'Who the hell cares?' and her mind was made up.

"Fine, but if you don't treat me like a princess I'll dump you for Hidan." He smirked at her words but otherwise stayed silent. "And don't think that I've lost, Uchiha. You're now officially going out with a cute girl with pink hair." She sat up, smiling down at the boy. He stood up and leaned down, face now even with hers.

"Actually, Sakura, I believe that you have lost since I am going out with a cute pink-haired girl. If I remember correctly, I said I wouldn't go out with an ugly girl with pink hair." He leaned in to kiss her, but she held up her hand to stop him, leaning away from him.

"Because of that comment you don't get a kiss, jerk." She smirked, thinking she had the upper hand, but Sasuke quickly made a turn-around. Holding her hand in his, he caught her lips anyway, completely ignoring her order. They continued until they heard a few uncomfortable coughs.

"You guys got…really friendly in the last hour, didn't you?" The couple looked up to see a grinning Ino and a blushing Hinata. At their sides were Shikamaru (who wasn't surprised at all) and a grinning Naruto.

Sakura immediately kicked Sasuke hard off of the small bed and stood up. Sasuke, who by now was used to her kicks and punches, just rolled his eyes at her behavior.

"Don't you know how to knock?" He growled out, mostly glaring at Ino and Naruto.

"Well sorry, I didn't think I'd need to knock. I didn't think you had it in you to apologize to her, actually. You have exceeded my expectations, Sasuke." Ino said bluntly. "Now, you guys better leave because I don't want to know what Anko would do to you three if she found you." She shooed the boys out of the room, slamming the door behind them, before she turned to Sakura, a tell-me-all-the-gossip smile on her flawless face.

"What happened in the," she glanced at the digital alarm clock on the nightstand, "hour we were gone! You guys were getting hot and heavy in here, right Hinata?" She nudged the blue-haired girl who just nodded silently.

Sakura, who would be forever traumatized by the experience that just happened, rolled her eyes. "Nothing happened." She said, lying back down on her bed.

"I wish my nothings were like that." Ino said wistfully. "Did you guys patch up your horrible relationship?" She asked hopefully.

"What relationship?"

Ino rolled her eyes before sighing at her friend's innocence. "The whole 'I hate you, you hate me, lets tease each other before making out in the janitor's closer' relationship." She explained it with a straight face, obviously believing that Sakura and Sasuke did that often.

"One, Ino, I would never flirt with him that way and two, I have never made out with Sasuke in the janitor's closet." Hinata looked like she believed the embarrassed girl, but Ino was doubtful.

"You are so dense. Everyone knew you two were attracted to each other and that teasing each other was the only way to show it. I did the same thing to Shikamaru, the only difference in our relationship now is that we make-out afterwards."

Sakura shuddered. "I did not need that image in my head." She mumbled.

"Hey, at least you didn't walk into the room to find a very inexperienced couple try and have a grope fest." Ino said, shuddering overdramatically.

"I'm not inexperienced and I can assure you that Sasuke must have had some experience." Sakura defended.

Ino grinned maliciously. "I wasn't talking about you." She glanced down at the red-faced Hinata who had a mortified expression on.

Sakura laughed and Ino joined in shortly after. "That's pretty daring Hinata, isn't Naruto sharing a room with Neji? You're lucky he didn't walk in on you two." Sakura stopped laughing as Hinata's blush deepened. "Oh, he didn't did he?" Sakura asked, trying desperately to stop smiling. Hinata nodded before covering her face with her hands, obviously recalling events. At her nod the other two girls just started laughing again.

"What did he do to Naruto though?" Sakura couldn't imagine Neji just letting the blonde go after walking in on his little cousin kissing the boy.

"He chased him all throughout the hotel. Naruto had to hide behind Lee, who had found some alcohol, before he would stop." Even Hinata giggled at the memory.

Knock Knock, without waiting for the door to open, their strict teacher, Anko, just walked into the room. "Not hiding any guys, right?" She asked. The girl just nodded and she left without another word.

Yawning, Ino stretched. "Well, I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm pretty tired. Plus, I have a date with Shikamaru tomorrow." She glanced mischievously at Sakura. "And I'm pretty sure that you have a hot date tomorrow too, just make sure to lock the door next time."

Sakura groaned, throwing her pillow at the blonde. "For the last time we weren't doing anything like that!"

Ino smirked before throwing the pillow back. "I'm sure that if were had walked in ten minutes later that you wouldn't be saying the same thing." She stuck her tongue out before dodging another pillow.

--

Ino was dead wrong the next morning. In fact, she was wrong for the rest of the week. The 'hot date' Ino said Sakura would have turned out to be wishful thinking. Sasuke had disappeared the morning after he had apologized to her and was rumored to have left. By the last day there he hadn't called her once and Kakashi hadn't said anything about him except that he had left early.

The bus ride was a solemn time for her classmates and Kakashi since the girl had grown an unreachable aura and no one was brave enough to say anything around her.

From Deidara:

:D Hey Sakura!! We're waiting for you your school, yeah. Sasori's with me incase you want to hide :P

She read her text message with a small smile. Deidara had given her a ride to the school since she didn't want to leave her precious car at the school for a week. Deidara knew about the kiss and made fun of his redheaded senior for it on many occasions. Sakura laughed his and Itachi's kiss off as nothing big but she made a solemn vow to avoid any parties since.

At the school she spotted another familiar face besides Sasori and Deidara. She perked up at the sight of her old redheaded friend and once the bus had stopped she ran towards him at lightening speed.

"Gaara!" She yelled, throwing her arms around her ex-boyfriend. Sasori and Deidara just stared at she flew past them to jump the new redhead.


:D Yay Gaara.

And, if everyone can do me a favor (Besides review of course) I want to know if I should make my new story Hinata centric or Sakura centric? It'll be a Yakuza type story with Gaara (most likely) as the lead male. The poll is on my profile so if you can take the time to vote I'd be very happy :)
