-AN: I don't own Naruto.

Previously: The two were too caught up in their own little world, they didn't even notice someone knocking and opening the door. It was until someone said, "Sakura." That the two came back to reality and released each other.

"S-sasuke-kun!" Sakura said surprised. Sasuke seemed to ignore her as he came into a deadly glaring death match with the Neji.

Chapter 9 - Unexpected outcomes….

"Uh, thank you again Neji." Sakura said, heading toward the door. Neji broke of the glare match before looking at Sakura.

"Hn." Neji said as he watched her leave the room. Sasuke shot him another glare before leaving the room as well. "Uchiha…" Neji thought in anger.

In the hallway, Sakura stopped so Sasuke could catch up with her.

"Hey Sasuke-kun, back from training?" Sakura asked.

"Hn."

"So I suppose you feel a lot better, no injuries or pains?"

"Hn."

"You know you shouldn't just leave like that. It scared me when I found no one in the room."

"Hn." Sakura stopped walking which caused him to do the same.

"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong?" She asked looking at him with sad eyes. "Say 'hn' one more time and you're going to get it." She thought, a little annoyed.

"….." But he didn't answer.

"Sas-" but Sakura was cut off.

"Sakura, what were you doing with Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked, not looking at her.

"W-what?" She said, remembering the small incident between them. She blushed slightly, but resumed a straight face when she reminded herself that no one knew about her little moment with the Hyuuga prodigy.

"You know what asked, what were you doing with Neji?"

"Saying thank you for what he did for me. He did save my life you know." Sakura said. She wasn't completely lying, it's just that she wouldn't have never expected 'that' kind of reply from him.

"Whatever. I need some air." Sasuke said, as he continued walking down the hall. Sakura just stood there, watching the retreating form of her teammates back.

"Sasuke-kun…"

In the morning, the village seemed to come to life as the sun rose over it.

"Ah ha! Finally I can get the heck out of here!" Naruto exclaimed running out the door. "First stop, Ichiraku's ramen shack!" Naruto pretty much sprinted his way there, drool practically spilling from the side of his mouth. Naruto reached the small shack, only to find his pink haired teammate eating alone.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said giving her a hug.

"Naruto." Sakura said with a smile before pushing him away, laughing lightly.

"One bowl of-" Naruto began, but stopped when Sakura pushed her bowl in front of him.

"Here take mine, I'm not hungry." Sakura said.

"Really! Aw thanks Sakura-chan!" Naruto said before grabbing a pair of wooden chopsticks, and eating the bowls contents. "This is a hell lot better than the crap the hospital….." But Naruto's sentence trailed off when he saw the look on his friend's face. "Sakura-chan, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Sakura said a little too quickly.

"You suck at lying you know." Naruto said as he finished off the noodle soup.

" It's nothing."

"Sakura-chan, you know you can tell me anything. No matter what. Even if you were to do something unimaginable, I wouldn't think any less of you. I mean come on, I forgave that teme didn't I?" Naruto joked, but Sakura didn't even smile. "Sak-"

"You promise to try not to think low of me?" Sakura asked, cutting the blond off.

"Of course!" Naruto said hitting his chest with his right fist. "How could I ever do that to you?"

"Okay…..It started when I asked Shizune-chan if I could see everyone else last night…" Sakura told the story from that point, to the conversation with Sasuke. Naruto went completely wide-eyed at some parts of the story, to a look of pity when she was finished.

"One thing I don't get is…." Naruto began.

"W-what?" Sakura asked, afraid of his answer. Naruto just sucked in a big breath of air.

"How can you like Neji! And you…And he…Well he started, but you gave…oh shit….Wait a sec. Are you sure he was drugged for that long? Cause you said it yourself, the pill's only suppose to last for like a couple of minutes….That means, he was taking advantage of you! That white eyed bas-" Naruto said, but then was cut off by Sakura's fist.

"He wouldn't do that Naruto." Sakura said sternly.

"But then, that would just mean."

"I know, I know…" Sakura said, tears starting to form in her eyes. "Naruto, w-what should I do?" she asked, her face covered by both her hands. "He said, he lov-but he was on drugs, and…and I don't know anymore…"

In that instant, Naruto wished he didn't freak out a second ago, it only made his friend feel worse. He wrapped his arms around her, and patted her back.

"Neji's my friend, but Sasuke-kun….Does this mean I like Neji, or…What does Sasuke think of me now? What do I think of Sasuke-kun? If I could just forget my feelings towards him so easily, does that mean I don't love him, did I ever truly love him?…" Sakura seemed to ask no one as she started to cry lightly onto Naruto's chest. "Now I'm crying, great." Sakura muttered.

"Sakura-chan, it's ok. You can cry, it won't hurt." Naruto said. This calmed her down a bit, but Naruto knew she would need more time.

The blond walked his teammate to her apartment. He made sure she got inside before leaving. "Why do these things always involve my team?" Naruto asked himself, as he headed toward the Hyuuga mansion.

That night, Sakura decided enough was enough. "For kami sakes, I'm a kunoichi!" She thought. "I can't believe I worried Naruto like that." Just then someone knocked on the door. Sakura went to the door and opened it to find a smiling face.

In the hokage's office, Tsunade was gulping down another helping of sake.

"Tsunade-sama."

"What is it now Genma?" the hokage asked.

"We found a large number of rogue nins near Konoha. They're after the scroll, and its contents. Tsunade-sama, what do you suggest we do?"

Tsunade drowned another small cupof sake before givning the jounin her instructions.

Back in Sakura's apartment.

"Sai?….What the heck are you doing here, shouldn't you still be in bed!…" Sakura asked.

"No. They said I was good for the day."

"You sure?" He nodded. "Wtf?….I don't remember inviting him and he never came here except for maybe the casual team dinner…..Unless….He told him!…I'm going to kill that baka!"

"Whatever you heard from Naru-" Sakura said quickly, while closing the door.

"Che, don't try to lie to me, hag." Sai said jokingly as he let himself into the kunoichi's apartment. He dropped his scroll that had some kind of ink symbols on it and sat down on the couch. Sakura sat beside him. "That baka told me the short version of the crap you pulled with Hyuuga. So I just came here to see how you were doing….Plus I want to know what really happened."

"Sai…Thanks but, I don't think you would really what to-" Sakura began.

"What are you saying? Come on, you told the dobe, and not your best friends, why would it be so different to tell me?" Sai asked, cutting Sakura off.

"Wait…Why do you want to know?"

"I read somewhere about these kinds of conflicts about relationships and how they tore people apart. I just wanted to give you any assistance incase something happens to our team."

"Sai, everything's ok and-"

"Cut the crap and spill it. It's not like you slept with the guy." Sai said smiling.

"W-what! I wouldn't ever-"

"Well then tell me. If you keep quiet about it, then I'll just think of the worst case scenario…You slept with the Hyuuga."

"Grr…Fine…Asshole." Sakura said defeated. After she told him what happened, Sakura felt like the room they were in, was getting smaller.

"Wow. So I guess Uchiha's pissed." Sai said before smiling widely.

"How can you be so happy?"

"Well, truthfully, I don't know which emotion to use right now." Sakura just sweat dropped. "But nonetheless, I would say that this was a definite love triangle. Even though I would prefer you to go with Hyuuga. He's a hell lot better that the teme."

"Don't call Sasuke-kun a teme." Sakura said defensively.

"So you like Neji then, right?"

"Wait I didn't say-"

"So Uchiha?"

"No-"

"Hyuuga?"

"Damn it Sai-"

"Both?"

"Damn it! I don't know! I'm not even sure I really-"

"But you did kiss the Hyuuga guy. That's a huge sign of love right there. You can look it up in every book I've read."

"Yeah, but that was an accident."

"Or more like he came on to you."

"What!"

"Hey, from what that dobe told me, Hyuuga pretty much said he loved you before kissing you. Am I right?"

"….Well…But he was-"

"Telling you how he felt. Just had to be drugged up to say it." Sai said smiling. "I'm just pointing stuff out for you. Uchiha left, and came back, but he didn't really show any signs of interest towards you. Am I correct?" Sakura semi-nodded.

"But there was that one time-" Sakura began.

"Did he continue on it? Or did he just let the moment slide without truly showing you any real deep affection?"

"This is really weird, especially for this conversation to be with you."

"Just answer me Sakura."

"There were some moments, but he just let them slip…." Sakura looked onto the floor of her living room.

"Though Neji was on a pill, he showed deep emotions, and expressed words of affection towards you." Sakura just let his words sink in.

"But Sasuke-kun-"

"Is just probably a crush, or whatever you guys call it these days. And if you ever did love him, there wouldn't be a strong attraction between you and Neji. Would there?"

"…But doesn't that also apply to Neji as well?"

"What do you mean?"

"There were sometimes, Sasuke-kun really did want to be with me. I could almost feel it."

"Well then." Sakura looked at her teammate who was now heading toward the door. "I guess you're…" He opened the door, but before leaving he looked back and smiled at her. "Screwed."

"Why you!" Sai quickly teleported away from the angry kunoichi. Sakura just closed the door and sat back down on the couch. She looked at the table only to find one of Sai's scrolls sitting there.

"Damn it, that jackass forgot his scroll." Sakura said as she picked it up. Soon after, someone knocked at the door. "Hmph, he came back." She thought as she placed the scroll in her kunai pouch.

As she opened the door she yelled, "So you came back for the scroll, huh youuuuu….Not Sai person…" Sakura's sentence trailed off when she saw the other male member of her team on her door step. "Shit."

"Sakura, can we talk, or go for a walk?" Sasuke asked, with a raised brow from the girl's outburst.

Next time: "Do you still love me?"…"Alright me, we got almost all the best of the leaf's anbu next to the scroll. Time to show this damn village some fireworks."…"Damn it Naruto! Can't you just let me tell Sakura that I-"
