Chapter Ten: Coming to an Understanding

A/N: Hiya! This is chapter ten! Wow, I finally made it to here!!! YEAH!!!! Please read and review!

Sakura couldn't believe that she told the Chicken-haired idiot the whole story. She couldn't really decide if she trusted him either. Who knew what he could do with that information about her. For all she knew, he could use it against her. With this known, she knew that she had to keep a close eye on him.

The next day at school, Sasuke started treating Sakura better. Yes, it was a surprise to everyone, including Sakura. Sasuke seemed more like the heartless type, but when he started being nice to he, it got everyone talking. Even those slu— I mean fangirls noticed, and they became jealous.

"Who does she think she is? Didn't she get it? We're the only ones who can have Sasuke-kun!" cried Karin.

"She needs to be taught a lesson, and fast," said Kimi.

"I want my revenge for what she did to Kimi and me," added Mai.

"Oh don't worry. I told Daddy about our little problem and he hired some private detectives to help us look into Sakura's past. That way we can get some dirt on her," said Ami.

"Good. Now Saya, do you think that you can get that guy in the office to pull up Sakura's records?" asked Karin.

"Consider it done," replied Saya.

"Perfect. Soon she's going to get what she deserves."

Meanwhile, Sasuke was whispering to Sakura and their friends were looking at them strangely.

"I wonder what happened after practice yesterday," thought Ino out loud.

"You mean you girls don't know?" asked Naruto.

"No, Sakura wouldn't tell us a thing. Why, do you guys know something?" asked Tenten.

"No. Sasuke kind of…avoided us last night," replied Shikamaru.

"Doesn't it seem strange though? At one point they are about to rip each others throats out, but then they are suddenly all friendly," said Neji.

"Yeah it is, I just wished we knew what brought on this sudden change," added Hinata.

"Hey, do you think it could lead to…"

"No Naruto, that's impossible. Sasuke and Sakura? That couldn't happen in a million years!" answered Ino.

"But still, you may never know what may happen as time goes by," replied Naruto.

"We'll see about that one. But for now, let's just try to get through today."

Meanwhile, the conversation between Sasuke and Sakura was still going on.

"So Pinky are things…you know, better?"

"Why should it matter to you Uchiha? It's none of you damn business. I shouldn't have told you a thing yesterday."

"But I'm concerned."

"That's bull and you and I both know it. Before you knew this you gave less than a damn about my friends and me. Now you're acting like my bodyguard. Just back off!"
I will, but after you agree to come back to the team again. They need you…I need you."

"What was that?!! The great Uchiha needs me?!! HA! Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not coming back. The teams going to have to do without me."

"But you're one of my best players!"

"Well you have plenty more. It will be as if I was never there."

"But—"

"End of discussion. Now go away, you're bothering me right now."

Classes went by pretty quickly. Maybe it was because things were changing, causing things to be even quicker because of it. Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru all started to come to an understanding with each other. They realized that the changes between their two friends were way more important than the hatred they had for each other.
Thus, with that conclusion, they decided to call a truce for the time being and investigate what was going on.

It seemed as if everyone wanted to know. Sasuke's fangirls, their friends, random students they saw in the hallway, everyone! It was obvious to Sasuke and Sakura that it was going to be hard to just keep this between themselves, but Sakura knew that it was vital to keep it quiet or else…if he even knew one person knew, she'd be in major trouble.

A/N: Review!!! Then chapter 11 awaits you!!!
