Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Author's Note: Just to remind you that this story will be long… it may reach up to 30 or so chapters so yeah…. this won't end that easily.

P.S. I managed to type this one on my sister's computer… I forgot that we have two computers. My bad…

Be Without You

Continuation…

"So what's up with Kurosaki and you, guys?" Sakura asked who's sitting beside Sasuke.

"Kurosaki's gang and us; me, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Naruto, got into a fight one time in a bar." Neji explained.

"Why did you guys got into a fight?" The pink haired asked.

Shikamaru leaned back and Naruto sighed.

"Cuz they're all acting like a jerk." Neji said.

"You guys are jerks too." Sakura smirk.

"Sakura." Sasuke said in listen-this-is-not-a-joke tone.

"They were all acting arrogant saying they can beat all the people who're in that club. But they forgot that we're there and we totally heard it." Neji paused then continued. "We all got irritated and Naruto burst out his bubble, shouting at them saying, "What makes you think you can beat us" Then Kurosaki's gang went up to our table and the insulting started." Neji said.

"And that's why you got into a fight." Sakura said in a statement. The guys all nodded.

"That's so simple you guys. Even if you won, those guys won't stop until you talk about it. You know why? You guys are all hot-headed. You should've just pretended you didn't hear it." Sakura said.

"We can't just ignore them. All of the people in that club heard it but no one said anything and Kurosaki thinks that all of us were afraid of him. We can't let that pass." Naruto said aloud.

"But still… it's so childish." She sighed.

"But now it's not." Shikamaru spoke.

Sakura got confused. "Huh? What do you mean?" She asked.

"Kurosaki saw you." Neji simply said. Sakura looked at him and said, "So?"

"So? So they'll hit on you." Naruto said.

"I can protect myself." Sakura assured. Neji shook his head.

"They will still do everything and try everything just to get you." Naruto said.

"Why? It's not that I'm THAT special or anything." Sakura said.

"No stupid. Cuz you're Sasuke's girlfriend. Well, actually, you're his fiancé." Naruto explained. Sakura blushed.

"Fine I give up. But Sasuke's here right? So… he'll protect me." Sakura put her arms around Sasuke's neck, pulling him to her.

Sasuke looked at her giving her yeah-right-now-get-off look. "Right." Sakura said and let Sasuke go.

"Whatever. But I doubt we'll see them soon." Neji said.

"Right." Shikamaru agreed. Naruto nodded. Sasuke didn't say anything.

"By the way, who's Gaara?" Sakura asked.

"He's our friend. He went to L.A. to study and we don't know when he'll be coming back." Naruto answered. Sakura mouthed an "Oh".

"Well… let's just forget about Kurosaki. So wanna guys meet your girlfriends?" Sakura suggested.

They all gave her a confused look excluding Sasuke.

"Huh?" Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto asked.

"Stop asking. I'll call them." Sakura stood up and headed to the phone. The guys watched her even Sasuke.

As she dialed a number, she looked back and said, "Wait a sec."

Then, "Hello?" Sakura started.

"Umm… hey! Wanna come here? Some one's waiting for you here."

"Secret."

"Well, call the others and make them go here okay."

"Okay"

"Bye." Sakura finished.

Sakura then went back sitting on the couch. She then leaned back.

"Who did you called?" Shikamaru asked with his eyes closed.

"Secret." Sakura smirked. Then suddenly, her phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered it.

Is this Haruno Sakura? A guy on the other line asked.

"Yes. This is Sakura Haruno."

Hey! Just want you to know if you miss me.

"Umm... who the hell are you and why would I miss you?" Sakura asked on the phone. The guys looked at her and Sasuke just glared at her phone.

Hey! Hey! Come on. Don't you remember me? Idate. Morino Idate. The guy said.

"Idate?" Sakura's eyes lit up. Sasuke glared at her but she didn't notice.

Yeah. Now you remembered. So how's my friend.

"I'm good you?" Sakura asked.

And then the conversation got longer and longer. Sakura didn't even notice the doorbell ringing and Sasuke is getting irritated.

"Sakura." Naruto called. She didn't hear him.

"Sakura." He called again.

"SAKURA! THE DOORBELL IS RINGING. IT MIGHT BE THE ONES YOU CALLED BEFORE. NOT T MENTION, SOMEONE IS GETTING JEALOUS HERE." Naruto shouted.

Sakura then snapped out and remembered that she's not alone. "Opps… sorry. I'll get the door." She said.

"Hey Idate. I gotta go." She said on the other line while approaching the door.

Okay then. Bye.

"Bye." Then Sakura hung up. She then put her phone inside her pocket and opened the door revealing Ino, Tenten, and Hinata.

"Hey." They all said then hugged each other.

"So, who's waiting for us?" Ino asked.

"Just follow me." Then Sakura led them to the living room.

The girls followed Sakura.

As they reached the living room, the guys looked at them. As Ino saw Sasuke, she ran and hugged him. Sakura smiled. She never changed. She thought.

"Ino. Get. Off." Sasuke said. Ino giggled.

"I was just teasing you." She told Sasuke. She then went to Shikamaru and hugged him.

"Ino. Get. Off." Shikamaru, who can't breathe, managed to say the words.

"Hmm… I was just teasing you." She said. The girls all chuckled.

"Let's go to my room. It's boring here." Sakura suggested.

"But… you said they want to meet us and now you're separating us?" Ino complained.

"You really do love boys eh?" Sakura said. Ino nodded with her please-let's-not-leave-them-here look.

"Oh they're coming. Right." Sakura said, looking at Neji to Shikamaru to Naruto to Sasuke.

All the boys sighed then followed the girls.

-
-

"It's pink." Neji coldly said as he looked at Sakura's room. The girls giggled.

"Hmm… look guys. Sakura has a pic of Sasuke." Ino teased. Sakura blushed. All of them looked at the pic of Sasuke excluding him (Sasuke).

"Where did you get this Sakura?" Tenten teased.

"Could it be that someone gave it to her?" Hinata teased more.

"No. No. You guys. I snatched it at the photo album downstairs." Sakura admitted. She then blushed.

All of them sniggered. Sasuke just lay down on Sakura's bed, not caring.

"I'm gonna watch TV." Neji sat down on the floor, in front of the TV.

"Neji. Don't get too close to the TV." Tenten said.

"Oooohhhh… do you guys know what people struck the most?" Sakura teased as she heard Tenten warn Neji about the TV.

"No. What is it?" Hinata said.

"Worry." Sakura simply said.

"You have a good point." Ino agreed. She was looking through Sakura's stuff. Same as Hinata, Tenten and Naruto. Shikamaru was laying on the floor, sleeping. Sasuke was staring at the ceiling.

"Hey Sasuke, what's good about Sakura's ceiling?" Ino asked.

"Hn." He answered.

"Oh I know. You're imagining that Sakura's face was in the ceiling since you can't look at her." Ino teased.

Sasuke didn't say anything. "Hey Ino… stop the teasing already." Sakura said, opening her computer.

"Hmm… I wonder why he's not on." Sakura said, cupping her chin.

"Who's not on? And a guy?" Tenten asked and approached Sakura's computer. Sasuke sat up and raised his eyebrow.

"My chat mate and he's not on. We always talk and he's really nice. Well… I mean... not nice but a jerk but I still have fun every time I talk to him." Sakura explained. Sasuke glared at the computer.

"So are you going out with him?" Naruto asked, hearing what the girls are talking about.

"Ah no. But he's really cool. I bet he's hot too." Sakura smiled.

"Hey forehead girl! Are you trying to make someone jealous?" Ino asked, putting her ands on her waist. Sakura raised an eyebrow. Ino mouthed "Sasuke" and she mouthed an "OH"

"Ah no. I'm just being open. I don't want to keep a secret on you guys that I have a guy friend on the internet." Sakura said.

"Oh okay then." Ino said.

"Hmm… I have a question." Tenten said. All of them looked at her even the boys.

"Can you love someone you don't even know?" Tenten asked.

"I guess so. Well, as far as I know, looks doesn't matter as long as your heart tells you that you love that guy or girl." Sakura answered.

Girl Talk. All the boys thought.

"Hmm... but what if you find out that this guy is so freakin' ugly and it turned you off?" Ino asked.

"Hmm... I wouldn't know what to do. I guess I'll have to run?" Sakura responded. The girls giggled.

"You guys are mean." Naruto said.

"Whatever. I bet you guys don't want an ugly girlfriend as well." Ino said.

"I agree." Hinata said.

"Okay okay okay. Let's stop this non-sense." Tenten said.

"Okay." Ino agreed.

A couple of minutes later and Sakura decided to talk to Sasuke. And so, she sat beside the laying Sasuke on her bed.

"Hey." Sakura started.

"Hmmn." He answered.

"So… what's up?" Sakura asked. Sasuke looked at her and said, "Nothing much."

"Okay." Sigh. This talk it getting to nowhere. I'll just stop. He's not gonna talk to me anyway. Sakura thought.

-
-

Muwahahaha…I found a camera. Ino thought. Then she saw Sasuke and Sakura, beside each other and decided to take pictures.

Awww… It could've been sweeter if they're both laying down or hugging each other, or kissing. Ino thought. She then looked at Shikamaru and took a lot of picture of him. I got him. Yes! She thought.

Then she just continued taking and taking pictures. Good thing no one noticed her.

-
-

Hours passed and they gotta go home. There's still school on the next day and they don't want to wake up so late so…

"Well guys, today was fun." Hinata said. Sakura smiled. Beside her was a bored Sasuke. The both of them were at the front door saying their goodbyes to their friends.

"Yep. It was fun. Especially looking at Sakura's stuff." Tenten agreed.

"Well, see you later Sakura." Naruto said and went to his car.

"Ino hurry up!" shouted Shikamaru who's already in the car and waiting for Ino impatiently.

"Yeah. Just wait a sec." Ino shouted back. Shikamaru sighed.

"Well, see you later." Ino said and hugged Sakura who hugged her back.

"Bye." Ino waved her hand as she approached Shikamaru.

-
-

Sigh.

Sakura lay on her bed—the same spot where Sasuke lay before.

"Hmmm… he really does smelled good." Sakura said, absorbing the scent her fiancée left.

"Ah wait. I wanna check if my chat mate is online." Sakura then got up and went to her opened computer.

Yes he is online. She thought. She then started to make a conversation with him.

Pink-iS.H.: Hey! I haven't talked 2 u 4 long tym.

S.U./.Sharingan: Yea I know.

Pink-iS.H.: So wat's up?

S.U./.Sharingan: Nm

Pink-iS.H.: No I'm not boring.

S.U./.Sharingan: W/e

S.U./.Sharingan: Miss yah.

As Sakura saw the last thing he said, she started blushing.

Pink-iS.H.: Miss yah too.

Pink-iS.H.: Okay… Ur making me blush.

S.U./.Sharingan: 2 bad. Even though u hasn't seen me yet, even in internet, my charisma works.

Pink-iS.H.: Shut up!

S.U./.Sharingan: Heh.

Pink-iS.H.: So…

S.U./.Sharingan: So… how's u & ur boyfriend?

Pink-iS.H.: Hmm… still the same.

S.U./.Sharingan: Y don't u just break up with him then?

Pink-iS.H.: I can't.

S.U./.Sharingan: How come?

Pink-iS.H.: U c, uhhh… nvm. It's just that…

S.U./.Sharingan: Cuz… you love him?

Pink-iS.H.: No u can't say I love him already cuz I really hated him at first.

S.U./.Sharingan: Explain.

Pink-iS.H.: Ever since r freshman year, I started liking him. 1 day, I confessed but he just rejected me. I thought it's not the ryt tym 2 giv up yet so, everytym I hav dat chance, I wil go up to him & tell him "I lyk u." but he always reject me. He's always acting lyk a jerk and I started hating him.

S.U./.Sharingan: Then y d'you guys become a couple?

Pink-iS.H.: Cuz…

Sakura couldn't tell him the truth that their parents started it and arranged their marriage. Just to remember, because of this arranged marriage, Sakura is starting to fall for Sasuke… again. Maybe… just maybe, Sasuke will appreciate her love… this time.

S.U./.Sharingan: Ok ok… dat's enough. I'm not forcing u. Let's juz change the subject.

Pink-iS.H.: Ok.

And their never ending chat continued until Sakura and her chat mate decided to end it.

It was already 1 AM and they still need to get to school early. "Man… I'm so tired." Sakura said. "Hmmm… I'm gonna go to sleep now." She said and lay down on her bed.

-
-

Sakura was walking to school. Once again, she couldn't find where she had put her car key. As far as she know, it's somewhere in her room but she just can't find it. Plus, she can't ride with Sasuke since he doesn't know that Sakura goes to his school.

"Man… it's hard to walk especially when you still have to go to Ino's house to change. It's like I'm walking double now." Sakura whined to herself.

A couple of minutes later, Sakura was in front of the school and was about to enter. But as she looked at the sky, she didn't notice that a girl was walking towards her.

Bump.

"Oww…" Sakura landed on her but. Butt ache she thought.

"Sorry... I'm very very sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." The girl apologized.

"No it's okay… I'm the one who's not looking." Sakura said. Her pink hair was in a high ponytail and was wearing a white mini skirt with a pink spaghetti strap. Sakura was wearing two white gold bangles on her right hand and holding a white purse on her left hand. Her books were scattered all over the place. She doesn't have her back pack since she left it in her locker.

"I'm really sorry." The girl apologized once again. She then helped Sakura collect her book.

"Thanks." Sakura smiled at her. Her smiled was then followed by a shocked face. It's as if she's looking at a mirror. The girl who's standing in front of her was almost the same as her. She has a long pink hair, bright blue eyes, soft pale skin, sexy body, and a height that's just the same as Sakura's.

"I… ah… ummm…" was only Sakura could say.

"Heeeey…. We look alike." The girl said.

"Yeah." Sakura said. Pull yourself up Sakura. Come on. It's just a coincidence. She thought.

"Opps… sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Sakura Hikaru." The girl introduced.

Sakura? Sakura thought.

"Yeah... Umm… I'm Saku—I mean, Haruno Kirisa." Sakura offered her hand to her.

After shaking their hands, Kirisa asked Sakura why she's in her school.

"You see, my mom transferred me here and I'm kinda lost." Sakura said.

"Well, Sakura, if you want, I can be your tour guide for today and I'll also introduce you to my friends." Kirisa suggested.

"That's great then and please just call me by my first name. No need to be formal." Hikaru said.

"Well Hikaru, welcome to Konoha High." Kirisa welcomed.

"Thanks." Hikaru smiled. Then Kirisa grabbed her hard and said, "Come on. Let's sit by the cherry blossom and talk. I'll look at your schedule later since we still have fifteen more minutes before the bell rings."

As they sat by the Sakura tree, Kirisa stood up and looked at her. Hikaru looked back and smiled. "You want a drink?" Kirisa offered.

"That would be fine." Hikaru replied. Sakura then smiled and said, "Okay. Wait here." Then Sakura left Hikaru smiling at the sky.

I already found a new friend. Hmm… I'm going to have fun here. Hikaru thought. She then stood up and looked at the Sakura tree.

Suddenly, someone from behind hugged her.

"Morning." A mysterious deep voice greeted from behind. Hikaru was shocked. She then took the arms around her and looked at the guy.

Oh my god. Some hot handsome guy just hugged me. He must've liked me from the very first time he saw me. Hikaru thought.

"Oh… good morning?" Hikaru said, unsure.

-
-

Consequently, Sakura was about to go back to her new friend, she saw Sasuke hugging her.

He must've known her. She thought sadly.

-
-

"Hello guys. I see you've met already." Kirisa said from behind. The raven haired turned around to look at the person who spoke.

"Kirisa?" Sasuke asked.

"Jerk. Who do you think am I?" Sakura glared at him.

"But… who's this then? I never thought you have a twin. Not to mention her forehead is not as big as yours." Sasuke said, pointing at the girl behind him.

"Don't insult me in front of her you idiot. She's my new friend, Sakura Hikaru. She transferred here so bug off." Kirisa irritatedly said.

"Here." Kirisa gave Hikaru her drink. She then opened her own and started drinking it.

"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked Sasuke. Sasuke looked at her and said, "I was going to greet you but I greet this girl instead." He pointed at Hikaru again then grabbed Sakura's drink.

"Hey. What are you doing?" Sakura said, trying to get her drink back.

"I'm thirsty. I want to drink." Sasuke replied and drank Sakura's drink.

"Uhh... who said I can share it with you? You're rich. Buy your own drink." Sakura said.

Sasuke smirked. "Here. There's some more left." Sasuke said. Sakura blushed.

"Ummm…" Hikaru spoke. Seemed like they have forgotten about her.

"Oh. Hey. Sorry about that. This jerk is just acting like a jerk again." Sakura said.

"Who is he? Is he your boyfriend?" Hikaru asked.

Before Sakura could answer, Sasuke already did for her. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. Kirisa's boyfriend." Sasuke smirked. Sakura gave him a sharp look.

"Oh…" Hikaru said, smiling at him. He didn't smile back though. He just looked at Kirisa and smirked.

"Actually, Hikaru, we are not a couple. Believe me." Kirisa said, convincing Hikaru that she doesn't have any relationship with Sasuke. Sasuke gave her a death glare.

Mann... Sasuke's acting like a jerk again. How come in the house he really doesn't talk but when were at school, he acts like a very talkative jerk. Sakura thought.

"Oh I see." Hikaru said.

"Umm… excuse us for a sec." Sasuke said, and dragged Sakura somewhere no one could see them.

-
-

"Hey! What now?" said an irritated Sakura.

"Why did you do that?" Sasuke said.

Sakura gave him a confused look and asked, "What did I do? You're the one who popped out of nowhere and hugged her."

Sasuke smirked. "Why are you jealous? If you want I can hug you too." Sasuke said. Sakura blushed and didn't say anything.

"Well, anyways, that wasn't meant for her idiot. I thought it was you." Sasuke explained.

"Oh." Was all Sakura could say.

"Well, why didn't you tell her we're together even if we're not?" Sasuke asked. Sakura raised an eyebrow. "What's the point of telling her that we're together when we're totally not?" She asked.

"Can't you see? I'm tying to make her jealous. It's been a long time since a pretty girl transferred here. She's gotta be mine." Sasuke said. Sakura formed a sad look.

Oh that's why. She thought.

"You're so out of your character Sasuke. You're being a playboy." Kirisa said.

"Whatever." He said and walked off.

"Well, good luck." Sakura shouted. Sasuke didn't reply.

-
-

As she went back to the tree, she saw that no one was there anymore. The bell had rung and students we're walking inside the building already. She picked up all her stuff and left the tree, seeing Sasuke and Hikaru walking side-by-side, smiling.

So that's why. I knew Sasuke isn't just a normal cold-hearted jerk. But, I don't know… Why am I feeling like my body is burning? Sakura thought and closed her eyes. After breathing the fresh air, she started walking toward her classroom. It doesn't matter whether she's late or not. What matters now is that she gotta figure out what is the feeling she's feeling right now.

Sigh, maybe I like him after all. She sadly thought as she walked inside her classroom.

To be continued...

Author's Note:Phew! Well, I guess that's the 11th chapter so... babush!.
