*Gulp*. This is the last chapter... with the BIG twist in. That's right, the BIG one I've been talking about since the beginning of the story. And, I mean it, some of you are going to HATE me for this. You'll either find it hilarious or want to kill me. So... yeah. Here goes. *Gulp*. But anyway, it's the last chapter! You've gotta review, tell me whether you hated it or loved it!


Eventually, people in the crowd got bored and wandered off. In the end, only Sasuke was left. He sighed. At first it had been fun, but now it was just getting repetitive. Argue, prank, scream, bite, kick. He'd seen it all before. These girls just weren't imaginative enough, and he was even thinking about ending his little game. He was sick of being nice to them. He should probably just ignore both of them and end it. Yes, that was what he would do.

He rose to his feet and walked off, right in front of the screaming girls. They stopped fighting immediately.

"Sasuke! Sasuke!" He ignored them and continued walking.

"Where are you going?"

"Come back Sasuke! At least tell us what's going on!" He stopped. What's going on...?

"I don't know. What is going on? Maybe you could tell me that," he said without turning round. Ino and Sakura stared at him. Not that he noticed.

"Well... there was you being really nice to us lately..." Ino stuttered.

"And... you were following us! Sasuke, why were you watching us? When we fought? Why did you keep watching?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." So they had caught him...

"Of course you do! I saw you with my own eyes Sasuke! You were watching us when we fought, and when we played tricks on eachother!" Ino yelled. She was getting quite annoyed with Sasuke. Sasuke considered the situation. Should he just walk off, or should he tell them everything? Part of him just wanted to walk off, but he felt a twinge of guilt at treating them that cruelly. Strange, he had never felt guilty about stuff like that before. But surely, telling them that he had just been playing with them would be more hurtful than making something up.

"Sasuke! You trust us don't you? Tell us what's going on! Now!" Sakura yelled. She too was getting frustrated with his silence.

"I... I just need a while to think. Please. I will come back, I promise. It's just..." he left the rest of his sentence unfinished. Ino and Sakura nodded.

"Alright. Come on Ino, let's go. We'll be inside when you're ready." Sakura said and walked with Ino into her house. Sasuke sat down. He had been telling the truth. He really did need to think.

Ino sat down.

"He's been playing with us, hasn't he?" Sakura nodded.

"I think so too. I didn't think... I didn't think he thought that little of us. Treating us like toys... even though he said I was just annoying before, I didn't realise he meant it. I thought he was just being... Sasuke." Ino smiled bitterly.

"I guess not. But I never thought he could be this cruel..." Both girls looked at eachother, both trying not to be the first to burst into tears.

"I'm not gonna cry, Ino. You cry if you want to, but I'm not going to."

"Who said I was gonna cry, Sakura? You're the one who looks like you're about to burst into tears!" They glared at eachother for a minute, both trying to keep straight faces. Then they burst out laughing.

"Why... are we laughing?" giggled Ino. "Sasuke has just as good as... admitted he's... deserted us!"

"I... don't know! It was just..." Sakura stopped laughing abruptly as she realised something. Ino stopped too, looking at her.

"What?"

"I've just realised why I'm laughing. I stopped loving Sasuke ages ago! All of this has been for nothing! Well, not nothing. I just wanted to antagonise you." Ino gasped.

"Sakura, you are a genius! That's the exact same reason I'm laughing! All this time and I never realised it! I got so focussed on annoying you I never realised that that was the only reason I was doing it! I wasn't doing it for Sasuke!" The two girls burst out laughing again. Once it had ended, they both sat there wiping tears of laughter from their eyes. There was a long silence.

"So, I guess we're friends again," said Sakura. Ino nodded enthusiastically.

"But I still get to fight with you, right?" Sakura grinned.

"Of course."

"So, about Sasuke. Do we tell him to get lost?" Sakura thought. Did he really deserve that?

"Yep!" The two girls sat there happily. Then, Ino realised something else.

"Sakura...?" She muttered. Did she have the guts to tell her? Sakura looked at her, and Ino made her decision.

Sasuke had made his decision. Heart in his mouth, he walked towards the door. The steps seemed to take forever. He knocked on the door. The knock echoed noisily around the deserted garden, but there was no reply. He knocked again, but still nothing. Cautiously, he opened the door.

"Sakura? Ino?" Still no reply, but there were definitely people in the house. He crept towards the kitchen where he could see the silhouettes of Sakura and Ino, and opened the door. Then stared, gobsmacked, at what he was seeing.

Sakura broke free of Ino's kiss, and smirked at Sasuke.

"Get lost Sasuke. We don't need you here!" Ino turned around.

"Yeah. We've got eachother now!" The happy couple joined hands, and Sasuke staggered out of the kitchen, shocked. Sakura and Ino... he had never thought...! Ino and Sakura watched him go.

"Good riddance!" Sakura said. "I love you Ino, you cow!"

"Love you too, you ugly old hag!" They kissed again, then simultaneously reached a hand round to yank eachother's hair.

"This doesn't mean we're not going to fight anymore!"

Sasuke stumbled outside in a daze. Sakura and Ino? Ino and Sakura? It was a lot to take in. And they had rejected him totally. And now he had nothing to do... screams erupted from behind a bush. He walked over to see what was happening, and saw a girl with short straight brown hair, blue eyes and glasses kicking Karin in the stomach. He stopped to watch.

"You bitch! You kick me, I kick you back! I don't care if Sasuke knows you, he'll know me soon enough. And when he does, you are not gonna get in my way!" Sasuke smiled. Seems he was pretty popular. He should have thought of that before. So what if Sakura and Ino were out of reach now? There were plenty more fish in the sea, with different, new fighting techniques. He smiled and went over to talk to the quarrelling girls.


I hope you enjoyed that! Well, I hope you enjoyed the rest of it even if you didn't like this chapter! That's all from me. Byeee!
