YAY!!

"Mr. Uchiha, we have arrived at your destination." The chauffer (Author's Blurb: Yeah I spelled that wrong Alex. I know, I know.) shook Sasuke gently, waking him up. He yawned quietly and looked down at Sakura, who was still asleep on his chest. He smiled, and sighed, knowing he had to wake her up. He moved slightly, and used his arms to hug her. Then he gently kissed her awake. She opened her eyes slightly, and smiled at Sasuke.

"Hello there..." she said drowsily. He kissed her again and said hello.

"I guess I gotta get up and go to dance, don't I?"

"I'm afraid so." She sighed, and sat up, stretching, before she climbed out of the limo. He quickly followed her.

As they entered the building, they gasped. The room was completely trashed. The mirrors on the walls were shattered into little pieces scattered all over the floor. The floor boards were ripped up and thrown to multiple places throughout the room. Even the mini fridge Paige had recently bought for her students to put drinks in was destroyed and utterly broken.

"What happened?!" Sakura exclaimed, recently noticing everyone else was in the room inspecting the damage further.

"We don't know! We came in a few minutes ago and found this!" Tenten cried. Sakura hustled over to the girls and Sasuke walked over to the boys that were standing on the other side of the room.

"We should probably look for any signs of evidence from the people that did this," Sakura said, already carefully moving pieces of glass from the mirrors. The girls followed suite. The boys also noticed what the girls were doing and each one went to assist their own girlfriends.

-With Neji and Tenten-

"Wanna go check around the fridge?" Neji asked, dodging bigger pieces of glass. Tenten looked up from her spot. "Sure." They proceeded to the said area.

"It's horrible that someone did this..." Tenten sighed. Neji nodded and picked up a piece of the fridge, inspecting it.

"I don't see anything...these people are good," Tenten said. She felt like crying. She has been dancing for years at this very location, and now it's destroyed. Neji stood up and gave her a comforting hug. She accepted and started crying lightly. He didn't say a word.

-With Ino and Shikamaru-

"Ugh, this is hard to walk through..." Ino complained.

"How troublesome..." Shikamaru said, almost tripping onto the unforgiving floor. He glanced around at the mess.

"Someone definitely did this on purpose. But why?" Shikamaru said to himself. Ino heard.

"I don't know but whoever did this is gonna pay!" Ino shouted. Shikamaru shook his head.

"This is so troublesome..."

"Hey! Get to work! I want a set of fingerprints from who did this! A ripped piece of shirt! SOMETHING!!" Ino demanded to her boyfriend. Shikamaru, being the wimp he can be sometimes, jumped and started moving around the room. Ino smiled at her demanding side.

-With Naruto and Hinata-

"This is so wrong..." Naruto said, helping Hinata around the room. Hinata sighed in agreement. They had looked at everything, and even asked Paige if she had locked up last night. She merely nodded and said she had errands to run and left in a hurry.

"Why would somebody want to do this?" Hinata asked quietly.

"Could it be someone from the competition?" Naruto asked.

"We're the only people entered from around here. Nobody is gonna drive hours just to do this..." Hinata answered. Naruto scratched his head.

"Oww!" Hinata said suddenly. Naruto looked up and hustled to his girlfriend.

"What's wrong?" He asked quickly. Hinata had her finger in her mouth. He pulled it out carefully and saw a small gash that was bleeding pretty badly. He stood up and grabbed a tissue from his back pocket. He softly dabbed the injury and apologized when Hinata winced from the pain.

"Ugh, you're not allowed to pick up the glass anymore..." Naruto said, still dabbing the wound with the bloodied tissue. Hinata giggled softly. "Gotcha," she said.

"Okay, I think it's done bleeding," Naruto said as he put the tissue back in his pocket. Hinata smiled when Naruto kissed her injury.

"All better?" He asked. She giggled and nodded.

-With Sasuke and Sakura-

"Ugh, I woke up for this?" Sakura mumbled as she looked at the ripped floor boards. She even looked through the holes leading to the basement. That's when she found a piece of paper in one of the holes.

"Hey Sasuke! Come here!" Sasuke quickly moved over to where she was. He looked down in the hole that Sakura was pointing down. He saw the glint of the paper's edge.

"I'm not small enough to fit through that..." Sasuke said to her. She looked down. "I am..."

Sasuke looked at her. "You are not going down there!"

"Why not?"

"Because! You could get hurt and none of us would be able to get you!"

"Sasuke, I'll be fine!" Sakura climbed down into the small opening and looked around at the darkness. She took a few steps and then fell forward, screaming from the sudden trip.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?!" Sasuke shouted. Sakura groaned in pain and called up a yes. She inspected her ankle, which was in immense pain, but only bruising. She winced and stood up.

"What did you do? Are you bleeding? Do you need help?" Sasuke cried.

"Sasuke! I'm fine and standing! Calm down!" Sakura called up. She glanced around for the paper. She found it a few moments later and called for someone to help her out. Neji quickly found a piece of durable rope and threw it down the hole. Sakura climbed up and Sasuke immeadiately inspected her for the damage she had done. Sakura sighed and pointed at her ankle, speeding up the process. Sasuke looked and saw the bruising. He gasped and unknowingly poked it.

"OWW! Sasuke!" He apologized and cradled her ankle carefully on his lap.

Everyone moved away, looking for more clues. Sakura looked at the paper. It had a small note that impacted her so greatly. In messy handwriting, it read:

Beware Haruno. Just wait and see what we have planned for you in Florida.

Mark and Karin

Sakura's breathing became quick and unstable. Sasuke, being overprotective, put her ankle down gently and rushed to her aid. He read the note and gasped.

"Sakura, you can't go to Florida now."

"I have to. I'm not letting my team down. If I don't go, we lose. And we've been working so hard for so long..." Sakura said shakily. Sasuke sighed.

"I have to watch you 24/7 though. I'd think you would want some independence."

"Not when I get a note like this." Sakura quickly hugged him and started crying softly. He hugged her back tightly, his head resting on top of hers. He could smell the sweet scent of strawberry shampoo coming from her hair. He breathed it in deeply, enjoying it.

"Don't ever leave me side Sasuke..." Sakura whimpered. He just sat there and hugged her even tighter. Eventually, she fell asleep from stress and medication. Sasuke stowed the note in his pocket and carefully picked his girlfriend up bridal style. He told Shikamaru to call his driver to get them. Five minutes later, Sasuke placed Sakura on his lap, making sure not to wake her before falling into another deep sleep.

.xx.

Sakura awoke to find herself in Sasuke's room, lying next to a shirtless Sasuke. She smiled and cuddled up against his chest. Sasuke woke up to her touch, and pulled her in closer.

"What time is it?" Sakura asked tiredly.

"Does it matter?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes it kinda does." Sasuke looked at the clock. It read 12:13.

"It's almost quarter after noon."

"Okay...we have to get up eventually, you know..." Sakura reminded him. He just pulled her in even closer to his body. She laughed silently and snuggled closer. They knew they probably wouldn't move for quite a while.

"Sasuke..."

"Yes, my little cherry blossom?"

"When do you wanna get up?"

"Never." Sakura shook her head.

"We need to get up soon Sasuke."

"No. You're staying right here next to me." Sakura sighed.

"You can be as stubborn as a mule sometimes."

"Deal with it." Sakura gasped.

"You did not just mmph--!" Sasuke had kissed her passionately. Of course, she kissed him back. Sasuke, if at all possible, pulled her in closer and deepened the kiss. She giggled and responded by kissing him deeper. But she stopped him when he managed to roll on top of her. Sakura gasped and moved out from under him. Sasuke frowned when he saw her move to the other side of the bed. He followed her.

"What's wrong?" He asked from behind her. She started shaking.

"It's just...the last time I was put in this kind of situation, it was with..." she gulped. "Mark..."

Sasuke put his head on her shoulder, realizing what he had done. She was definitely not ready for this yet. Come to think of it, they were only 17 and 18. But he had a previous life...he had lost his V-card a long time ago. (Author's Blurb: For all of you that don't know, a V-card is like, your virginity. It's like when you get rid of your virginity you lose the card. Easy as that.)

"Sakura, I'm sorry. I completely forgot about Mark for a moment. Just please don't cry. I hate it when you cry," Sasuke comforted. Sakura turned around and smiled a sad smile.

"It's okay. I'm sorry I got worked up like this. I really shouldn't have..." Sasuke just hugged her tighter. "No Sakura. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone that far. I forgot that I'm different now."

Sakura was nothing but confused. "Huh?"

Sasuke sighed. "It's a long story Sakura. Do you really want to hear it?"

"Of course Sasuke. Is it that bad?" Sakura asked. Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair and leaned against the head board of the bed. Sakura came up and sat inbetween his legs. He wrapped his arms around her and put his head in the crook of her neck.

"Please tell me the story. I want to know everything about you, good and bad." Sasuke moved his head on top of hers.

"Okay. I guess I should start from the beginning..."

Okay I'm not sure but this chapter seems rather short. I'm not using Word and I'm using this crappy notebook on my computer instead. Oh well. Sorry for any mistakes I have here. (Alex)

Review please!
