Hey peoples!!! I finally got my next chappy up!!! Thank you to all of my reviewers, you know who you are I assume, cuz i kinda accidentally deleted my emails before I could write down your names... ehehe... Yeah. So anyway, here it is, hope you enjoy!!!! I don't own naruto... Please don't sue me...

Sakura pinned her hair up and slipped on her dress and pink heels. Glancing at the clock she gasped, "Oh my gosh, I have to get going!!" Hurrying out the door she grabbed her purse and locked the house behind her.

She had to walk to Sasuke's house, which was right across from hers, so it wasn't that bad. She saw Sasuke standing in the entrance hall every once in a while looking out the window. She giggled, he must be waiting on me. The pink beauty approached the door, and quickly twisted the knob, rushing inside. Once inside she saw Sasuke standing there, with an ever so slightly red tint to his face… He turned around quickly for some reason. She stood there confused, and studied his figure.

He wore black pants, a white collared shirt, and a black jacket over it. Hmm it looks like he went almost full tux... Smiling to herself with satisfaction, she stated a cheery "Hi Sasuke!" (when he turned around) and rushed past him into the ballroom. Hurriedly, she grabbed the drinks and chips and set them out, ordered Sasuke to go and greet the guests that were bound to start showing up soon, and then went to fix the stereo system.

Earlier that day she had convinced Ino that they were going to a costume party and gotten her to buy a dress to wear to the party.

Flashback

She clicked her tongue as she waited, the phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ino, it's Sakura"

"Hey Sakura! What's up?"

"Nothing! Hey, do you want to go to a costume party with me tonight?"

"Yeah, sure!"

"Ok, just come in a dress as if it were a school dance, cuz that's what I'm doing."

"Ok, got it."

"Sasuke will probably pick you up."

"Ok! See ya there!"

End Flashback

She'd have to tell Sasuke to go pick up Ino soon…

She fixed the stereo up and flipped a switch, activating a disco ball and some strobe lights.

"Yes! Now we're in business baby!"

"Hey Sakura!" Sakura turned around as she heard her name. There stood TenTen, Hinata, and Neji. TenTen wore a halter top brown dress that was made of a shiny material. Her hair was up in the usual buns, and she wore a rhinestone necklace.

Hinata had on a beautiful lilac colored dress that was a corset type thing, much like Sakura's only a little bit more less flashy (no sequins or sparkly things, etc…) Around her neck was an amethyst stone on a chain. Neji wore almost exactly the same thing as Sasuke, just a different style jacket.

"Hi TenTen, Hinata, Neji" she said, ecstatic. She was getting pumped from it being so close to time to go. She deactivated the strobe lights, music, and disco ball, so they could be ready to surprise Ino. Speaking of which…

"SASUKE!!" She called. He sauntered into the room looking calm and collected.

"Hn."

"I need you to go on and go get Ino." She said.

"Hn." She assumed that this meant "ok" because he turned around and she heard the door open and close… A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. She ran to greet the guests hoping for the best.

Sasuke sighed, and slipped into his car. He didn't want to throw Ino a party. He didn't want to be the one to go and get her. He didn't want to leave Sakura. All he wanted to do was be around her. But he would bear this other stuff if only because she wanted him to.

He cranked the ignition and started off down the road. Sasuke knew exactly where Ino's house was from walking her and Sakura to school everyday. He glanced at the digital clock on his car. 7:10. In about five minutes he would be at Ino's house, and then they would head back to his house.

Sasuke spotted her sitting on her doorstep and pulled up to her house. He rolled down the window and called to her to get in. The platinum-blonde girl walked around his car, her heels clicking as she went. She got in and shut the door, looking a little depressed.

So…

He sighed, "What's the matter Ino?"

She jumped, startled. Then faced him and said, "Well, today is my birthday, and nobody remembered… Not even Sakura…" She said.

The tone in her voice gave him a sad feeling… He decided not to worry about it. Instead, he said, "I remembered. I have your present at my house. And I'm sure that Sakura remembered, she just hasn't gotten to it yet."

"Well… ok. If you say so." Looking slightly happier, she turned to look out the window.

Sasuke let out a small sigh and said to himself, This is gonna be a long night...

He took out his phone and dialed Sakura's number.

Brrriiing...

Brriiing...

Brriiing...

"Hello?"

"Sakura, it's Sasuke. Me and Ino are on the way there. Just thought I'd let you know."

"Okay! Bye see ya in a second!"

He hung up and slowed down just a hair… It would take them a minute to get settled.

"OK EVERYBODY!! LISTEN UP!!" Sakura announced through the microphone. Everyone silenced, and she continued. "Ino is on her way, so everybody find a spot to be… and stay there." She glared at Naruto, who was grinning sheepishly. "I'm gonna turn out the lights and it will be pitch black so girls, watch where you're stepping, and don't let your heels click." With that, she got off the small platform/stage, and yelled, "OK THE LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF!!!" Everyone got silent and she flipped off the lights.

They heard the door open and close, as well as the clicking of heels. "Sasuke-kun, do you have my present?" They heard Ino's voice.

"Yeah," he answered, "follow me." The clicking heels and footsteps echoed as they made their way to the ballroom, then the lights came on and…

"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!" Came the shouts of everyone in the room.

Ino's totally shocked expression turned to one of delight as her friends hugs engulfed her. She was so happy!!!

"OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS!!" She exclaimed, "Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Sakura!!!!" She yelled hugging said friend.

Sakura laughed, "And you thought we forgot!"

Then Sakura went and turned on the strobe lights, disco ball, and music, and people flooded to the dance floor. (There's a lot of people there… Not just the nine rookies) Everyone started to dance, eat, and drink. Shikamaru took Ino's hand and led her onto the dance floor.

As people started to socialize and pair off, Sakura sat down and closed her eyes. She was very tired but she was also relieved.

"Hey."

She opened one eye and looked to see Sasuke standing by her leaning on the wall.

"Hey." She answered.

"You wanna dance?"

She sat up, now wide-awake. "Sure" she agreed. He held out his hand and she took it walking out onto the dance floor. A slow song started. She put her arms around his shoulders and he placed his around her waist, pulling her closer.

She could feel his body heat emanating from his chest. They flowed to the music easily and surely. She took in the scent of his cologne and shuddered with content.

(Sasuke's POV)

Sasuke held her small frame in his arms. Her hair smelled of strawberries. His legs felt like jello… She was so close. So fragile. They just swayed and enjoyed the song while they could. When it ended, he pulled her out of the ballroom, and into the living room. They sat on the couch, and he put his arm around her. She leaned into him. Her head suddenly hurt. A lot. There was a fragrance in the air, that was like perfume and it was deathly overpowering. "Sasuke, can we go somewhere else? My head hurts in this room." She asked. He nodded, pulling her up, and led up the stairs, through a hallway and right to his room.

She sighed and smiled, "This is much better."

"Good." He said. He lay down on his bed, (It was like a queen or king size, whatever you choose.)

Pouting she said, "Where am I supposed to sit?" He smirked, and moved over to the opposite side of the bed. By now he had shed his jacket and his shirt had come untucked.

"Hmph." She said. "I want to sit." With that, she sat down on the edge of the bed with him laying down on the other side. His smirk grew, and he rolled his eyes and sat up, behind her. He put his legs on either side of her legs and wrapped his arms around her.

She inhaled sharply in surprise, but then relaxed into his grip. She leaned against him, and said, "Thanks for doing the stuff for Ino… I know you didn't want to."

"Hn," he answered. He was actually THINKING, she is so pretty. Her skin is so smooth, I just want to kiss it... And he did just that. He gently began kissing her neck, sucking softly. He slowly moved up her neck, bringing his head up to nibble on her ear.

Sakura let out a barely audible moan. It felt so good, and she didn't want him to stop. Suddenly she turned around and kissed him on the lips, pushing him down on the bed. She reached her hands around his neck, snaking them into his hair. She began to play with it, as he kissed her back. She gasped a little as she felt him open his mouth, requesting entry to hers. She obliged, opening it, and gasping again as she felt his tongue in her mouth, exploring every crevice.

Unconsciously, she began to unbutton his shirt, as he rubbed his hands along her sides, reaching around and undoing the zipper on her dress. He rolled over so that he was on top, and began to kiss her neck again, giving her breathing room. She started to think a little clearer, and, very regretfully, pushed him up off of her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, letting her up.

"Nothing… I… I just don't think I'm ready yet." She said, avoiding his gaze. He nodded understanding, and turned her around so he could zip her dress back up for her. He began to button his shirt back up as she stood and fixed her hair in the mirror in front of her. He stood, slightly ashamed of himself for letting it get that far. She wasn't ready for that kind of thing yet, and he should know that… Damn hormones.

He sighed and stood next to her. He suddenly felt a lot more weight on his chest. He looked down to see a mass of pink hair. She was hugging him. Sasuke lifted his arms around her and she looked up at him. He kissed her gently. Not like before, this time was just a simple, pure, kiss. He broke it and she laid her head on his chest again.

He pulled her away, "Come on, we should get back downstairs. They'll be looking for us soon." She nodded, and Sasuke led the way back to the ballroom.

They entered the ballroom. Sakura looked up and gasped. Sasuke's eyes widened and a look somewhere in between horror and shock graced his face.

For right there, in the very middle of the room was….
