Taru: Pwease!!

Xaldin: No!

Taru: Just once!

Xaldin: Will you leave me alone if I do?

Taru: Sure! -Under breath- For a little while.

Xaldin: -Sigh- Oh...you touch my tralala...mm...my ding ding dong.

Taru and Miyuki: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Aki: You two are morons...

Taru: Says you, he's the one that said it!! ...Well, anyway, go read the chappy!!!

Recap:

Hinata blushed lightly and started playing with her fingers. "Th-thank you, Naruto."

I smiled at how cute Hinata was about Naruto. Eventually Hinata let us inside and we all just hung out there for the rest of the day.

Chapter ten: Insert clever title here

"DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!" I shot up and stared strait into the darkness that filled my room. Thank God it was just a dream... I sighed and placed my head in my hands. I had the weirdest dream! I dreamed that not only did I have to fight off Ino for Sasuke's affection, but I also had to fight off Naruto and Itachi!! It was like some yaoi fangirls perfect dream! I heard snoring coming from the room down the hall so I figured that I hadn't woken my mom up with my yelling. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and looked at my clock which read 3:56 am.

"Fuck." I groaned quietly as I leaned back on my pillows. My eyes started to shut, but as soon as they did I got the mental picture of Naruto, Itachi and Sasuke having an orgy. I shot up in my bed again and shook my head. Well, I definitely won't be getting anymore sleep tonight...er, I mean day. I got out of bed and decided to just skip a shower this morning and just get dressed. Todays ensemble consisted of tight dark wash jeans, black converse with the batman logo on the heel, a tee shirt with "You can have my heart when you pry it from my cold dead body." and, to top it off, Sasuke's sweater (which I had still neglected to return.)

Just then I heard a rather large thump and a deep voice muttering some sort of curses. I opened my door and saw Dad picking up pieces of a broken vase that Mom had just set up. "Dad?" I quietly called.

He looked up in surprise and stared at me. "Sakura, what are you doing up this early?" He asked shooting me a confused glance.

"I just woke up a little bit ago, and I couldn't fall back asleep." I said, helping him pick up the rest of the broken pieces.

He smiled lightly. "I see."

"Yeah, it's been a while since we talked, huh?"

"Yeah, but you know how a new job can be. I really wish I could be around more." He said as we both made our way downstairs.

"I do too." I grabbed my backpack that was next to the front door and scribbled down a little note for Mom before heading out. "Bye, Dad." I said quietly, just before the door closed.

Great, Sakura, you gave up time to spend with your dad so you could walk around the neighborhood at some unholy hour! I frowned as I walked along the sidewalk, not really caring where I went, and kicking a rock that happened to be in my path. As I wandered around, not thinking about anything in particular I soon found myself in front of the park Sasuke and I had been the other day. I smiled to myself and took a seat on one of the swings and started swinging my feet lightly so I could gently rock. The swaying was nice, but I soon found myself swinging harder and higher.

I closed my eyes and started to hum the song "I believe I can fly" but I soon found myself singing my warped version out loud. "I believe I can die. I got shot by the FBI. All I wanted was a chicken wing! Some McDonalds or Burger King! I believe I got a sore! I got hit by the open doooor! I believe I can die!! I believe I can die!! I believe I can die!!!" I laughed as I continued to sing the ridiculous song one of my old friends had taught me.

When I finally stopped I opened my eyes and found a very familiar face smirking back at me. I made some sort of surprised yelping noise as I fell strait off of the swing and landed on my back. "You suck at singing." Sasuke smirked as he walked over to me and helped my up.

I glared at him and rubbed my head. "Well, EXCUSE me! I didn't know I was being judged!" I said, putting my hands on my hips and sticking my tongue out at him.

"Just because you suck at singing doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the show." He smirked, leaning down and kissing me on the lips. I pulled back and glared playfully at him.

"Just don't sneak up on me like that!" I said, leaning in for another kiss. He kissed back hungrily and slid his tongue into my mouth. Well, at least I know he's not gay. I shivered involuntarily as my mind wandered back to my dream. Sasuke apparently felt this since he pulled back and stared at me strangely. I just shook my head. "A weird dream...it's better if you don't ask..." I said, trying to get out of telling I had a dream about him doing his brother and my friend.

He just smirked at me and leaned down to continue what we had previously been doing. I actually pushed my tongue into his mouth first and I lightly rubbed my tongue against his. Sasuke put his arms around my waist and pulled my body against his. I smiled lightly into the kiss and placed my arms around his neck. He pulled away from the kiss and I was about to protest, but he started kissing my neck. I moaned softly as he kissed and sucked softly on my tender spot. A let out a loud moan as I felt him bite down on my neck. He then sucked on it for a second before pulling back and smirking at me. I reached up and felt the small indent of teeth on my soft skin.

I opened my mouth to say something, but was cut off when I saw lights shining on us and a person getting out of a car. "Hey, what do you kids think your doing?!" Holy shit, it was a cop! I looked at Sasuke to see if he knew what to do, but he seemed to be lost in thought. "I asked you a question!" The cop continued.

I was about to say something when I heard a familiar voice calling. "Sakura!! Sasuke!!!" Everyone looked toward the yellow jeep that had just pulled up and now had Ms. Taru climbing out of it. "I'm sorry officer I had requested them to show up for school early so we could go to the park to get some sample items for our 'Saving Nature' week. But I had certain things to do so they went ahead of me."

"So you're looking after them?" The cop asked.

"Well, yes. Now I hope you don't mind letting us get back to what we were doing? There is much work to do and these wonderful children have actually sacrificed their extra sleeping time to help an injured principal with her work!" I smiled at how Ms. Taru knew just when to show up, and just what to say when she showed up.

The cop tried to get out of this situation and just ended up telling us not to be out at such hours and driving away as fast as he could. Ms. Taru smirked. "Thank you, Ms. Taru!" I smiled.

"You two..." She walked up to us with a serious face. I gulped and started to get nervous about what was going on. "OH YOU'RE BOTH SO CUTE TOGETHER!!!!!!!" She shouted, pulling us both into a bone crushing hug. "Oh, puppy love! I remember those days! Holding each other every chance you get! Sneaking out just to see each other! The exciting feeling you got just knowing you're going to see your lover!" I swear I could see little hearts appearing all around.

"Ms. Taru...?" I tried to get her attention.

She stopped skipping around and turned toward me. "Ahem...uh, yeah, so why don't I take you both to school. You can hang out there without creating any problems about what time it is." Sasuke and I nodded and he got into the back seat and I got into the passenger seat. When Ms. Taru turned on the car some sort of annoying, yet extremely catchy, music started playing and a man started singing about a sitar. The car ride was short, but the whole way Ms. Taru was singing along to the music loudly and off key. "All right now I hope you don't mind but I do sort of need your help this morning. So will you both help?"

I looked over at Sasuke who shrugged, so I took that as a yes. "Sure, we'll help." Oh my, how I would come to regret those words...

Several hours later, (which really felt more like days), school finally started. I swear I would've collapsed right onto the floor if I hadn't been leaning against Sasuke. Ms. Taru had us doing everything from mopping the floor to placing schedules around the school. But the worst thing that happened was when the senior study hall teacher, Miyuki Takahashi, came and started helping Ms. Taru...well, I guess that I shouldn't count that as helping. It was more like running around and yelling random things. But apparently they've been friends for a very long time.

Speaking of friends, Naruto wasn't in school today. And neither was Hinata, though that was to be expected after what had happened yesterday. Ten ten and Lee were there though, but they seemed shocked when they saw me lying my head on Sasuke's shoulder.

"Sakura?" Lee asked as he and Ten ten approached Sasuke and I and sat in front of us.

"Eh?" I grunted, not bothering to lift my head.

"Are you ok?" Ten ten asked, glancing at Sasuke who seemed to tired to care about anything.

"I'm fine. We've just been working since five am." I groaned lifting my head off of Sasuke's shoulder and looking at them.

"Why were you up at five am?" Lee asked.

I rolled my eyes and laid my head back on Sasuke's shoulder. "You really don't wanna know. But do either of you know where Naruto is?"

I glanced at them but they both shrugged. Just then Ino trotted into the class and stopped dead in her tracks. "SASUKE!!!" She shrieked upon seeing my head leaning against his shoulder. "HOW COULD YOU!?!?!?! AND WITH BILLBOARD BROW!!!!"

Sasuke just smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I could practically see Ino glowing green with envy. It made me smile... Ino groaned in frustration and stormed off to one of the open seats in the classroom.

After that little problem with Ino the rest of the day went by smoothly. Sasuke was with me basically the whole day, constantly holding my hand or something. Neji hung out with Sasuke a bit, and Ten ten hung out with me. Then she and Neji ended up talking more to each other than to Sasuke and I. And Lee was just surprisingly distant the whole day. And Ino just completely stayed away from both of us.

"Hey, Sasuke, I'll catch you later but right now I'm going to check on Naruto and then Hinata." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then ran to catch up with Lee. "Hey, Lee, what's up? You didn't really talk much with us today!" I said, walking next to him.

"Yeah, I was kind of distracted today." He mumbled.

I shot him a concerned glance. "What were you distracted with? Is something wrong?"

"No nothings wrong! You know how it is, sometimes you've just got to think." He smiled at me as he told me what I had just told him the other day.

I smiled back. "You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. So, did you need something?"

"Oh yeah!" I mentally smacked myself for almost forgetting the main reason I had needed to to talk with Lee. "Uh, I wanted to know if you could show me the way to Naruto's house. I just wanted to make sure he's ok."

"Of course, c'mon it's this way."

Naruto's house was actually closer to my house than anyone elses. Lee came with me to the door as I rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal an older, (hotter), version of Naruto. "Hello, I'm Sakura Haruno." I said, trying my hardest to not drool.

"Yes, Naruto's told me a lot about you." He smiled.

"May we see Naruto?" Lee asked.

"I'm sorry, but Naruto's sleeping right now. He has food poisoning from eating something last night."

"Oh...well, could you tell him that Lee and I came by?"

"Of course." He smiled once more as Lee and I turned around.

I sighed. "Well, I guess I'll just head over to Hinata's then. You coming, Lee?"

"No, I have to get back home. I'll just see you tomorrow." He smiled, waving as we went our seperate ways.
