Hi again! XD

Sorry if t took a while. Getting addicted to watching dramas again XD

1 more month before school starts _ Let's make the most of it!

Here's the 11th chapter of LOFL! (It's getting interesting, neh?)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 11: Competition?

Sasuke still stood protecting Sakura and at the same time, glaring daggers at the guy who seems to be enjoying the moment. As if it was a happy reunion.

"What's wrong Sakura?" He called out with a taunting look on his face which ticked Sasuke off. "Aren't you happy to see me?"

"W-what are you d-doing here?" Sakura exclaimed behind Sasuke

"I came to see you." He smirked and met his gaze with Sasuke's.

"Is he your new boyfriend?" He asked, pertaining to Sasuke. Sasuke just continued sending deadly glares to him while Sakura refused to reply.

"Hmp. Not bad. But I'm not entirely impressed." He smirked and took a few more steps towards them when Sasuke stopped him.

"I'm sure it's obvious your presence is not welcome here." He sneered. "So just spit it out what the hell you want."

"Relax. I just wanted to see my ex girl friend. See how she's doing." He told him but Sasuke wasn't dumb to believe him.

"You don't need to keep your guard up. I won't bite." He continued. He noticed Sasuke's stare getting darker so he just decided to stop.

"Ok fine I'm backing up." He told them. "But you should get used to me being around. I'm your new schoolmate after all." He smirked when Sasuke and Sakura's eyes widened in surprise. The guy put his hands in his pockets and turned around to leave when he suddenly paused.

"By the way, nice to meet you…Sasuke."

Sasuke was surprised that he knew his name. It just made him more creeped out.

"And just in case you're wondering, I'm Daisuke. Now we all know each other." He smirked and went off. The 2 watched as he left and soon they relaxed.

"You ok Sakura?" Sasuke asked as he patted her back and Sakura nodded.

"Yeah…"

"I'll take you home. I'll just call someone to take your car home."

Sakura just nodded and still seemed to be scared. So Sasuke carried her bridal style, much to her surprise, and went off to his car. Sakura did like it better being in his arms. It made her fear go away. They got to his car and he put Sakura on the passenger's seat and hopped in the driver's seat. There was silence on the way home since they were still bothered and Sakura was scared since she didn't follow Sasuke's rule and went somewhere without his permission. She felt more relieved when they reached their home. As usual, the maids allowed Sasuke's easy entrance as he entered with Sakura in his arms. They whispered excitedly to each other as they made their way up the stairs

"They really look great together!" one squealed.

"But are they really together?"

"Ehh…I guess we'll know when it happens. But I bet it won't be that far away." One smirked and the others quickly agreed.

Sakura freshened up and lay in bed with Sasuke sitting beside her as usual. Now Sakura needed to face her fear and be scolded by Sasuke.

"Didn't I tell you to inform me if you were going anywhere at this time?" He scolded and Sakura hid half of her face in the covers.

"B-But I didn't know t-that was gonna h-happen." Sakura stuttered.

"That's still not a good excuse." Sasuke glared. "Why did you disobey me?"

"Well..you're not exactly my dad or anything…" Sakura mumbled but was still enough for him to hear. Sasuke just stayed silent and sighed. He looked away with his back facing her. Sakura gulped and really felt guilty for making him upset. So she sat up and wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck for a hug, surprising the Uchiha.

"Sorry Sasuke…" She apologized sweetly. Sasuke was still silent but a blush was slowly creeping his face. "I promise I'll listen next time…"

"You do know…why I'm doing this…" Sasuke replied. Scolding himself for blushing. Uchiha's can't blush.

"Yes…I'm really sorry…" She whispered and rested her chin on his shoulder and Sasuke could feel her light breathing. Sasuke exhaled deeply, mostly to relax himself since it was getting somewhat hot all of a sudden and slowly untangled her arms from his neck.

"Just..inform me next time." Sasuke told her and Sakura nodded.

"I promise." She smiled and there was a moment of silence. Sasuke still didn't look at her so she pouted and settled in her bed. She closed her eyes and sighed but soon she felt a hand caress her head and looked to see Sasuke caressing her hair

"Just tell me…why were you so scared of him?"

"We..kinda had a rough break-up…" She muttered and Sasuke waited for her to continue.

"Well…basically I wanted to break up with him 'cause well…I didn't…really feel…loved…But he didn't want to and was angry about it but…I just didn't want to be in that relationship anymore." She told him and was tearing up a bit. "I didn't know that he would….follow me here…It just scares me."

"What did he do to you?"

She sniffed a bit and shook her head. "I don't want to talk about it…"

Sasuke looked at her and soon nodded, respecting her decision. He caressed her hair and wiped some tears forming in her eyes.

"It's ok. Just rest…." He told her in a gentler voice. Sakura smiled at him and closed her eyes to rest. Sasuke on the other hand, couldn't get the situation out of his mind. Knowing the guy was going to be in their school really bothered him. He really has to be on his toes for himself and for Sakura as well. Who knows what the guy's planning.

Sakura was finally fast asleep and Sasuke silently walked out of her room. As he descended the stairs, he was surprised to see the door opening and a lady with long pink hair in a business attire enter. One of the maids took her bag as she entered. Following her was a male with reddish hair in business attire as well and looked a bit serious. He removed his tie and they paused when they see Sasuke walk towards them.

"They must be her parents…" He thought and bowed. "Good evening."

"Good evening as well…" Her mother trailed off. "And you are?"

"Sasuke Uchiha. Sakura's friend."

"May I ask what are you doing here?" Her father suddenly asked. Guess he's not that all happy seeing a guy in their house or something.

"I just made sure Sakura got home safely sir." Sasuke replied with an impassive face.

"Aww that's sweet. You must be the guy she's talking about." Sakura's mother smiled.

"She's talking about me?" Sasuke thought.

"Hm. As long as you aren't going to do anything suspicious." His father told him as he removed his coat.

"Of course not sir."

"Oh..you must be going home then?" Sakura's mother asked and Sasuke nodded. "Oh ok. Thank you for taking care of Sakura. She hasn't returned to Japan for quite a while."

"Hn. Thank you." Sasuke bowed again and the maids opened the door for him as he walked out. He hopped in his car and noticed something.

"Hasn't returned to Japan eh….So she was from here…Why did she leave?" He wondered. He just shook his head and decided to find answers tomorrow. Feeling glad her parents liked him somehow.

"I just noticed something." Sakura's mother called out to her husband on his laptop.

"What?" He asked without taking his eyes off his work. He still had some things to finish.

"That Sasuke…He looks familiar… Like we've seen him before."

"Hmm….The name seems familiar as well." Her husband replied.

"I think I know him…but I just can't remember…" She frowned and looked out the window, clearing her thoughts.

The next day:

Sasuke was on high alert as he entered the school. He looked around, wondering where that guy was. But a sudden pinch woke him up from his concentration.

"Yo teme! Can you even hear me?" Naruto asked. Seems like the guys were talking to him but he was unresponsive.

"Umm yeah…" Sasuke replied and looked off again.

"What the hell's wrong with you Uchiha?" Neji raised a brow.

"Naruto…Is there a new student in our school?"

"New student?" Naruto thought for a while. "I'm not sure. Why?"

"I'll be back." He told them and walked off. Naruto was gonna stop him but he was already far. They guys all looked at each other in confusion.

"What's wrong with teme?"

"I think he finally cracked." Gaara replied in a creeped out look.

"I think something's bothering him." Shikamaru said in a bored tone and they all nodded.

"But…with what?"

"I got a plan to find out." Naruto smirked and the guys backed away.

"Oh no. I don't want to be involved in your stupid plans!" Neji glared.

"Come on guys! I swear this is foolproof."

"How can it be foolproof when a fool is the one who made it?"

"Lame joke Hyuuga." Naruto glared. "But seriously, you won't regret it! Trust me!"

"If we fail, I burn your ramen." Shikamaru threatened.

Sakura was getting her books from her locker and closed it when she was done. She was walking off to her classroom when Sasuke appeared beside her.

"Did you see him yet?"

"No." Sakura shook her head. "Did you?"

Sasuke shook his head as well. "But we've got to keep our eyes open. I'm not liking this guy."

Sakura looked down and sighed. "Wonder what he's doing here…"

Suddenly they hear squeals of girls and look behind them to see them grouping towards someone. As if there was a celebrity.

"Could that be…"

The group parted and their thoughts were confirmed. The guy, Daisuke, seemed to entertain the girls with his smile and would occasionally talk to them. But they suddenly caught his eye and he walked towards them with his hands in his pockets. Sasuke started to glare while Sakura felt nervous.

"Nice to see you two again." He smiled.

"I couldn't say the same." Sasuke replied in a scary tone. The girls still crowded around them, wondering what was going on.

"Aww don't be so mean to your new classmate Uchiha."

"C-Classmate?" Sakura stuttered in surprise.

"Yup. We happen to be in the same class. Won't that be fun?" He smirked but Sasuke just wanted to rip his head off. Daisuke then started approaching Sakura and Sasuke's glare intensified.

"Still scared of me Sakura?" He asked with a mischievous smirk and was about to pat her head when Sasuke stopped him. Daisuke's eyes widened from his fast move and tight grip but soon he was back to his taunting smile.

"Ok ok.." He raised his hands and backed off. "I guess I'm upsetting your boyfriend here."

The girls around them gasped and even Sakura's eyes widened. Sasuke didn't seem to care and was fighting off the urge to punch him brutally.

"Hmm..guess not everyone knows of the happy couple." Daisuke chuckled. "Well I have to go. See you in class." He walked off but the crowd of girls stayed in place, still dumbstruck of the news.

"Y-You're t-together?" One girl asked and Sakura bit her lip.

"Well w-we're n-.."

"You heard it didn't you? Why do you need to ask?" Sasuke butted in and seemed to be pissed off. He grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her away from the now sobbing crowd.

"W-What is he saying?" Sakura asked herself with widened eyes.

Everyone was in their class as their professor discussed the lesson. Typically, not everyone was listening. Including Sakura.

She sat in her seat, deep in thought. She felt nervous as she bit her nails and would look off to the right in the front row where Daisuke was. He would occasionally look and smirk at her which made her more scared. But when he did that for, what must be the 3rd time, she heard a breaking sound and turned to see Sasuke clutching a broken pencil. He glared at Daisuke who just looked away. She stared at Sasuke who glanced at her but then looked out the window. She sighed when a sudden thought returned to her.

"What can Sasuke mean by…what he did earlier?" She wondered. Pertaining to the incident where he told the girls that they were together. "Was he serious….Or w-was it a cover up or something?"

She looked at him again but he was still staring out the window. Then he sighed and focused on his desk as if there was something really interesting there.

"Whatever it is…I have to find out..."

It was their break and once again, Sakura was out of Sasuke's sight which made him really upset. Whenever she was out of his sight, he just can't help but feel really uneasy and just can't resist the urge to go look for her. Which is what he was doing now.

He was looking around the library but still couldn't find her. That's when he looks out the window that was overlooking the parking lot to see a pink haired maiden leaning against his car.

"Sakura?" He thought and swiftly, but silently, ran out the library. When he was out the corridor, he ran faster but a sudden shout stopped him.

"STOP!"

"Shit…" He cursed. "Damn hall monitors.."

"You know running is not allowed."

"Hmm…" He suddenly smirked "Found my way out."

He sighed and turned with a pout on his face, catching the female hall monitor off guard.

"Fine you got me." Sasuke smirked and the girl was just gaping at him. Guess she didn't realize she just stopped one of the best Casanovas in school. Sasuke approached her with his hands in his pockets, feeling really confident.

"I was just in a hurry..we really don't need to make things complicated…" He told her and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Do we?"

"Uhh..b-but…you s-still.."

Sasuke smirked at the blushing female and slowly caressed a bit of her hair.

"How about we pretend this never happen…neh?" He stared at her closely with his tantalizing eyes which made the girl turn red from seeing how close they were from each other. She unconsciously nodded her head and Sasuke gave off another one of his smirk and moved an inch closer. She closed her eyes in anticipation, expecting a kiss from the Uchiha. But when she felt nothing, she opened her eyes to find him gone from her sight.

"Can't believe I can still do that." He smirked. "Though Sakura shouldn't see that…"

Sakura leaned against Sasuke's car with her arms across her chest, deep in thought. Then she hears footsteps running towards her and she looks up and sees the Uchiha, as expected.

"I knew you would look for me…"

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke questioned. Sakura looked away and back to the ground as if she didn't hear his question. Sasuke frowned and moved towards her to put both of his hands on her shoulders.

"What's wrong with you Sakura?" He asked more calmly this time. Sakura sighed but didn't look back at him.

"What do you mean by that…" She whispered and Sasuke raised his brow.

"By what?"

"The thing you said earlier.."

"What thing?"

"THE THING YOU SAID!" Sakura suddenly shouted and made Sasuke's eyes widen in surprise. She fought back tears that were stinging her eyes since she somehow felt she was being played with. Or she was only given false hopes.

"Sakura….What's wrong…"

"Answer me…What do you mean by that?"

Sasuke was speechless since he didn't know what Sakura was implying. She turned away from him but he approached her.

"Are we…really together?"

"Us? Together?" Sasuke raised a brow.

"Why did you say that Sasuke? Don't tell me you were just playing with me."

"I wasn't…" Sasuke replied. "Why did I say that?"

"You do know how I feel for you…" Sakura looked at him but he still had his confused expression. Sakura sighed and decided she should get this over with.

"Sasuke…You know I….I…" She sighed and looked away. She was really having a difficult time. "N-Nevermind…Let's just make sure this doesn't happen again."

She was about to leave when Sasuke grabbed her hand and hugged her from behind, catching her off guard.

"I know..Sakura…" He whispered in her ear. "Sakura…I love you too."

Sakura's jaw dropped from what he said and felt a blush creep her cheeks as he nuzzled her neck.

"That was…serious?"

"Yeah…But I thought you didn't want it to be…"

Sakura suddenly chuckled and Sasuke raised a brow.

"What's so funny?"

"I find this a bit…confusing..":

Sasuke smirked and Sakura turned to look at him.

"But to make this clear…we're together?"

"You tell me." Sasuke smirked. "Will you be my girl friend, Sakura Haruno?"

Sakura smiled brightly and tackled him with a hug. "Of course!"

Sasuke smiled as well and blushed a bit when she kissed him on the cheek. He hugged her tight and she returned it gladly. The happy couple were so caught up with celebrating, they didn't notice a pair of eyes watching them not too far away.

Classes were about to return and Sasuke made his way to his classroom. But at the same time was having another dilemma.

"How am I gonna tell this to the guys?" He frowned. "Especially Naruto!"

He sighed as he walked while deep in thought but was surprised when he was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom. It was a bit dark and he wasn't sure who grabbed him.

"What the-"His mouth was suddenly covered by a hand.

"Shh…You don't want them to hear us do you?"

"What the hell…."
