YAY! I'm back! SOOOO UNBELIEVABLEY SORRY for the LOOOOONG wait. I've been a lazy ass and totallly forgot to update. So, for all the people that haven't given up on this story, here's the next chapter…. Finally! I KNOW ITS SHORT, BUT I AM PLANNING ON UPDATING WEEKLY NOW!

"Really? You're not joking are you?!?" I asked.

"It's the truth. You're being assigned to team 7, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi Hatake." Fugaku confirmed.

'Finally! No more snot-nosed brats!'

'I can't believe it, but im agreeing with you'

'I knew you'd come around'

"Kakashi Hatake?" I asked, "Who is that?"

"He's the Jonin in charge of us."I heard. It was Sasuke.

"Oh! Sasuke! When did you get here?" I asked. For some reason, since the "incedent", Sasuke has been making me really nervous. I don't know why, but I've been blushing more and I get really sweaty. Maybe its-

'Someone has a crush. Someone has a crush.'

'I DO NOT!'

'Hmph. You'll come around. I know it.'

I just started to tune her out. She was getting real annoying these days… I let my mind wander to other things, paying absolutely no attention to what Fugaku was saying. Somehow, Sasuke slipped into my head. After that, the kiss slipped into my head. It was so short, but I remember it clearly. I even let myself daydream about future kisses I wanted to have.

'AH HA! I knew it! You DO want to kiss him! You said so yourself!'

Crap. There was no getting out of this one.

'Well, you see. The thing is. I-…'

"Are you coming?" I was even hearing him in my thoughts. What is with this guy and my mind?!?

"Hello? Sakura? Are you-"

"Oh! Sorry! Where are we going again?" I asked as I realized he was actually talking and it wasn't my thoughts.

"Fugaku wanted me to explain some things to you, and he suggested we take a walk." Is Fugaku like… playing match-maker? Seriously, who 'takes a walk' with a sibling?

I followed him, out of the house, and onto a trail. "So you're going to be a genin now, but the chunin exams are only 2 months away. Father thinks that you should take them, but its completely up to you."

I sighed. This is just business. No 'How are yous' or anything. "Aren't you already a chunin?" I asked.

"Yeah… so?" he stared at me curiously.

'Oh Kami! His eyes are so damn sexy!' She never shuts up!

"Well, don't you need a team of 3 to enter the chunin exams?" I questioned

"Well, yeah. Naruto and I are gonna retake them with you." I don't know why, but just the way he sai 'with you' made my knees go weak.

"Sakura? Are you okay?" He asked. DAMN! HE'S STARING AT ME!

"Y-Yeah." I managed to let out, recovering from the loss of blood from my head.

After a few long minutes of silence, I said, "T-Thank you, Sasuke." But all I received was a low 'Hn.' "Sasuke?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he said without looking up.

"About that day …you know, when we were trainging…"

"Sorry. It was an accident." He mumbled, suddenly tensing.

"N-No. That's not what I was gonna say." I uttered, almost low enough to be a whisper.

'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? DON'T BE A BITCH AND RUIN THIS FRIEND-FRIEND RELATIONSHIP! PLEEEASE DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME!' She went on, but I pushed her from my mind.

"What were you gonna say then?" Sasuke asked, a bit confused.

"I-"

"Sakura-chan! Sasuke-kun! Dinner is ready!" Mikoto yelled from the house. I stopped, but Sasuke kept walking.

As soon as he was far enough away to not hear, I said it.

"I liked it."
