A/N Okay so... I know I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy with... Summer stuff. Anyway, this'll hopefully make up for it. If not... Well, I guess I'll buy you ice cream. In further note, the chapters will be a little shorter from here on out due to people with short attention spans. Like me. If you don't like it, do something about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any other characters.


Chapter 11

Naruto and Sakura pulled away from the kiss. Each of them were blushing slightly. Naruto from the unexpectedness of it, and Sakura from being the one to initiate it.

"Wow. Um mind telling me what that was about?" Naruto asked.

Sakura blushed even more. "Uh... Momentary lapse of self control?" She joked.

Naruto frowned. "Sakura, I can't do this anymore," he sighed. Sakura looked at him in puzzlement.

"Can't do what, Naruto?" she asked.

"These 'momentary lapses of control'. We can't just keep meeting up when you deem it's worthy, then go back to friend status later. I like you Sakura, but I'm not a boy toy. So either we're together, or we're just friends. Choose one," he replied.

Sakura's eyes widened. "Naruto..." she started, hesitating at the end.

Naruto took the start of her sentence wrong. He stopped her. "You don't have to say anything else. I completely get it." He smiled sadly. "Seeya at breakfast tomorrow tomorrow, Sakura-chan." And with that, he walked away.

Sakura stared hopelessly after the blond's retreating back. "But Naruto... I don't want to be just friends either," she whispered to the air.


[Next day at breakfast]

Breakfast was tense. To everyone except Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba, it was weird. Just yesterday everyone was, seemingly, fine and now today they were acting so weird. Sasuke decided to question this.

"What the hell's wrong with you guys?" he asked.

Naruto faced him. "Nothing Teme. What makes you think that?"

Sasuke smirked. "Well, Kiba and Hinata are avoiding looking at each other, and you and Sakura are just being depressed. Did something happen that the rest of the people at the table should know about?''

"Nothing happened, Uchiha," Kiba grumbled before munching on his bowl of cereal. Yummy, scooby Doo Flakes...

Sasuke scowled. "Hn. Whatever..."

Naruto stood up. "Guys, I have to get to homeroom early. My dad wants me to go to my first function since I was eight, and he has to teach me how to behave like a gentleman at it. If I don't, Tsunade says she'll kick my ass."

"You're going to that too? My dad says me and Itachi have to go. I think its gonna suck," Sasuke said.

Naruto nodded in agreement. "Yep. Anyway, seeya." and with that, he was gone.

Ino waited until Naruto was too far away to hear to start her questioning. She looked towards her best friends. "Okay, so since you both know I'm gonna find out sooner or later, why not tell me what the hell's going on now?" she asked.

Sakura and Hinata looked at each other before grabbing Ino and Tenten's hands. They both hopped quickly from their seats and dragged the blond and brunette with them. Once they exited the cafeteria, they dragged them across the hall to the girl's bathroom. When they rushed inside, they locked the doo behind them and faced the two other girls anxiously.

"What?" Ino and Tenten asked in unison.

"You won't believe what happened with (Naruto, Kiba)!" They both yelled.


[Twenty Minutes Later]

"What!? He just assumed like that!?" an enraged Ino yelled/asked Sakura.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST BLURTED THAT OUT LIKE THAT!" and even angrier Tenten steemed. Smoke was coming out of her ears.

"I told you that you should've asked him out when you had the chance," Ino said.

"Well, maybe that just meant Kiba likes you, too. He could've just been surprised that you might return his feelings and couldn't control the volume of his voice," Tenten suggested.

Hinata and Sakura Sweatdropped. The two girls' mood swings were kind of creepy. One minute they were completely angry and the next they were understanding of the boys' actions. What the hell? Weren't they supposed to be on their sides?

Ino noted the girls' expressions. "Not that they're not still wrong. Naruto should've waited for you to finish and dogboy should've just kept his accusations to himself. Still, you guys aren't exactly clear either."

Tenten nodded in agreement. "Right. Sakura, you technically were playing with Naruto's feelings and did exactly what he accused you of. Instead of just telling him how you felt about him, you played him like a toy. He deserves better." she turned to Hinata. "And you. If you'd just acted like you liked Kiba, he wouldn't have even needed to question you about it. He'd know and then maybe he'd confess his feelings for you later on." Now she looked at both of them. "Quite frankly, I'm sick of all the damn drama between you two and your supposed-to-be men. Now, either you handle it, or I DO. Understood?"

Sakura and Hinata shook their head vigorously.

"Good. Now, you have exactly one week to get with your men. If it's not done by then, I'm gonna intervene." And with that, she walked out of the bathroom with Ino at her heels.

"S-She's s-scary..." Hinata stammered.

"Y-yeah..."


A/N Okay, so that chapter's done. Woohoo! I probably won't make another chapter anytime soon since the keys on my keyboard are kinda sticky for some reason and are hard to press. It actually hurt my hands to type this. So be grateful. Also, All chapters will probably be this short from now on for people with short attention spans. Furthermore, the winner of the Sasu/? Pairing thingy is....

Sasu/Karin.

Yep. Soo, if you don't like it, say something about it. You have until next chapter since thatt's when I'll probably bring her in. So... yeah. That is all.

Oh wait. This is important! I want at least 2 reviews for each chapter. If not, the chapter will be written but unposted until I get my second review. Thank you.

Now that's all.
