A/N: Thank you SO SO SO much for waiting it out. For those readers out there that come back and check, I really REALLY appreciate it, you do not know how much I love you :) . As for the next chapter, I have no idea when it will be out, because I have three tests this week :P. I will try to post it ASAP. And please, please, review, it really makes me motivated. :)

Chapter 6:

I was…surprised, excited, scared, happy, and more. Too many emotions to name.

He didn't push, and I didn't refuse. It was gentle and sweet, like he was trying not to hurt me. Our tongues stayed firmly in our mouths, and as irritating as it was, he didn't touch me with his hands either. Did he not know how tempting it was to pull him close and make this never stop? Apparently not, because he pulled away at the next second, looking extremely remorseful.

"Sorry Sakura-chan I…um… well, sorry." He muttered, turning away, but not before I caught sight of him biting his lip and his red face. The only time he ever bit his lip was when he was sorry or when he was lying.

"Um. Yeah…. Naruto?" I asked turning him around.

"Huh?" He asked, avoiding my eyes.

"Was that your first k-kiss?" I asked, shyly.

"Yeah…why?"

"Because. Um. It's mine too…" I muttered. But this wasn't good. I had to choose now. Naruto. Or Sasuke?

If I weighed them both on a scale…

I loved them both so much. But when I thought of love, the face that appeared in front of me was Sasuke.

Which meant that all my delusions of not loving Sasuke weren't true right? It meant that I loved Sasuke more than Naruto…right?

"Sakura-chan."

"Do you want to…um…do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked.

I had no option. Not only did I love Sasuke more, but if I said yes to him, it would only give him false hope, and hurt all three of us.

" Naruto. We can't… we can't be together like this. Like um… no more kissing and stuff. Because you were right. I love Sasuke." Way to go Sakura… that is totally the perfect way to reject your best friend, I chided myself.

I was watching Naruto's face carefully, and thank god I was otherwise I would have missed the slight shrinking of his face and the downward look of defeat.

"Yeah. I was just um… practicing." I knew he was lying. He knew he was lying. So I figured I might as well make it like I didn't know he was lying.

"Oh. Practicing for who?" I asked, feigning interest.

He looked shocked, like he hadn't expected me to call his bluff.

"Hinata." My eyes nearly popped out of my head. Of all the people he could have chosen… he chose Hinata….

"G-g-good morning Naruto-kun." Hinata stuttered. We were all at our usual table at Starbucks, but Kiba, Hinata, Naruto and I were there a bit early.

"Naruto. You. Me. Outside. Now." Kiba growled. Hinata looked down sadly, and Naruto looked confused. What was going on?

NARUTO'S POV

"Yeah Kiba, what's up?" I asked, like everything was alright. Like Sakura-chan hadn't rejected me. Twice.

"Look. Hinata really loves you, okay?" I scratched my head. I already knew that. Why was he telling me again?

"She really REALLY loves you. So don't be an idiot. I um… I sort of asked her out yesterday." The usually ultimate macho guy was suddenly blushing, taking me by complete surprise. But the blush was accompanied by a look of hurt and rejection.

"She told me that she thought I was a great person and that I was her best friend, but that she loved you. Still. Even after she found out you didn't love her. So just give her a chance. Okay? I want her to be happy. Sakura is a great person, but once you get to know Hinata… you just can't not love her. Just try. I'll do whatever you want."

I turned my head so that I was able to view Hinata through the window. Her soft grey eyes were framed by delicate curled eyelashes, and thick black hair fell to her waist. Rose color lips gently opened every now and then to talk, and her smooth, fair hands rested on her laps.

If I had to think of three words to describe her, I would say gentle, shy, and beautiful.

I shrugged, and turned back to face Kiba. "Ok. But before I ask her out on a date, I want to get to know her better. At school, outside school, and more."

Kiba grit his teeth. "As long as she is happy, you can do whatever you want. But if I see one tear, I will hunt you down. You understand?"

"Woah man, okay. I'm not a complete idiot. I really love Hinata. Like a sister. But I can try to change my feelings. If it doesn't work, then don't yell at me."

"All I'm asking is for you to try bro."

"Deal."

"Deal."

We both walked back inside to face the women we both loved. Sakura, and Hinata. But after this, who would I come to love more?

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the one month wait... I was in India visiting family, and as soon as I got back, school started. I'm in eighth grade now (whopeee!) so the homework load is quite heavy from the start... so plz bear with me if im a little off with my story, I will say that it might take a while for me to update the next chapter. The update every two days will probably change to update every 1-2 weeks. Just a heads up. My next chapter will be coming out either tomorrow or the day after, so once again, please stick with me. Also, the comments REALLY REALLY help, they inspire me and tell me what to do better. Not getting comments is actually quite depressing... :P. So please comment, and let me know how I can do better, and just stick with me as I get my schedule worked out, thanks!
