Chapter 21: Love hurdles

"Who are these guys?" Sasuke thought in alarm. Being pulled in an empty classroom is never a good sign. He better take action before things get out of hand.

He suddenly bit the hand covering his mouth and immediately took the opportunity to kick him off his feet. The guy fell to the floor but Sasuke was suddenly grabbed from behind by a different person.

"Stop it Uchiha!"

"Wait a sec…" Sasuke looked behind him to see the Hyuuga who was the one holding him from behind. He also saw Shikamaru and Gaara in the room. And the one on the floor, whom he just kicked, was none other than the dobe who was still in pain.

"That wasn't fun teme!" Naruto glared. "It hurts!"

"Wha-What the hell is going on?" He exclaimed and his mouth was covered again.

"Shh…do you want them to know we're here?"

Sasuke struggled from Neji's grip and sighed in confusion.

"We just wanted to ask you something teme."

"Can't you just approach me like a normal person?" Sasuke glared at the dobe. "Why do you have to kidnap me?"

"Dobe's idea." Gaara immediately pointed the blonde.

"And you followed him?"

"Eh…we just gave him a chance." Gaara shrugged.

"Tss...fine. What is it that you want?" Sasuke glared at the dobe. "Hurry before class starts."

"What's up with you these days? You're acting weirder than usual." Naruto immediately spoke. "And why were you with Sakura a few moments ago in the parking lot?"

"He saw us?" Sasuke's eyes suddenly widened from what he heard. The guys waited for his answer as he composed his answer in his head.

"Umm well…" He cleared his throat. "There's just this happening…"

"And you won't even tell your best friends?" Naruto pouted with his hands on his hips.

"I-I was gonna…" Sasuke felt a bit of pressure mostly from the other guys who were eyeing him in a mischievous way. As if they knew he was hiding something.

"Well what is it?" Gaara asked this time. Sasuke guessed he should stop hiding it.

"Sakura's ex boyfriend is in our school and Sakura seemed to be really terrified of him. I'm just protecting her and trying to figure out why is she so scared of him." Sasuke told them.

"Why didn't you just say so? We could have helped you." Naruto then grinned. "Just tell us who this guy is and we'll keep an eye on him as well."

"Thanks…" Sasuke told him. He grabbed his bag and was ready to leave since he told them what was going on until Shikamaru put a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait. You forgot one thing."

Sasuke turned around, preparing for the worst.

"You still didn't answer Naruto's other question. Why were you with Sakura earlier? And don't tell me it's the same reason. Cause I know it isn't."

"Damn…I always hated going against Shika,,,," Sasuke cursed in his head.


Sakura, being in the happy mood she is, was in cloud 9 as she entered the cafeteria for lunch. With her books in her arms, she looked at the food that was being served. She didn't notice some of Sasuke's fan girls approaching her from behind.

"Hey pinky!"

Sakura turned to see a group of girls. But 3 of them stood out. Especially the blonde one who seemed to lead the group.

"What?"

"What's with the stupid rumour you started that Sasuke was your boyfriend?" She glared. But Sakura was far from intimidated.

"It's no rumour. And it wasn't I who said it. Sasuke did." She told her proudly. She was speechless as well as the other girls. They started whispering to each other and suddenly the blondie smirked.

"Please…why would Sasuke date someone like you?"

"Why wouldn't he?" Sakura smirked as well when the girl's eyes widened. "As from what I'm seeing now, you're a mean girl that annoys him. A perfect combination to turn him off."

"Take that back. You're just intimidated!" The girl exclaimed and caught the attention of some students.

"I can assure you that I'm not. Maybe you're the one who's just jealous that I got what you were striving to achieve."

Sakura did the taunting pretty well and made the girl pissed off with her remark.

"You bitch!" She raised her hand and Sakura closed her eyes to brace herself from the impact. But when nothing came, she opened her eyes to see someone in front of her, stopping the girl's hand. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was.

"Daisuke…" She breathed out in disbelief. The said person just turned to her to smirk and was back to glaring at the blondie who seemed surprised as well.

"What's with you making a scene huh? People are trying to eat lunch."

"W-well it was her fault Daisuke-kun!" The girl pointed at Sakura and clutched Daisuke's arm. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Tss…You think I'm blind?" Daisuke glared and pulled his arm away form her grasp. "I think you owe her an apology."

"But It was her fault!"

"Don't blame her for your failure and apologize." He said more sternly and scaed the girl a bit. The girl crossed her arms and looked away, pondering a bit. Daisuke became impatient and tugged hard on her arm to make her apologize.

"S-sorry…Haruno…" She obviously didn't mean it but Sakura couldn't care less. Daisuke turned back to Sakura eith a smile on his face.

"She didn't hurt you, did she?"

"No…" Sakura mumbled without looking. "Thanks anyway…"

"No problem." He replied and reached out to touch her when a certain voice stopped him.

"Daisuke." A dark voice was heard and they turned to see the 5 boys with Sasuke leading them. He had a dark glare focused on the male close to his girlfriend that the squealing girls soon became silent as he approached the 2.

"Do you want that hand broken?"

Daisuke just chuckled but his hand was still close to Sakura.

"Relax Uchiha I was just-"

Sasuke's tight grip was instantly holding his hand which was a few centimetres from Sakura's head. The other girls gasped at what happened ut the guys were used to Sasuke's behaviour.

"Daisuke, you better do what teme says." Naruto said seriously. Daisuke didn't seem threatened and chuckled again.

"Fine fine." He moved his hand away and faced the Uchiha. "Don't be to hot headed, neh?"

Sasuke's glare made it clear his presence wasn't welcome so he just smirked at him and walked off with some of the girls following him. Sasuke approached Sakura who seemed scared from seeing his glare but relaxed more when he was back to his usual expression.

"What happened?"

"Well some girl got mad at me and Daisuke just helped me get her off my back." She replied. Sasuke nodded and out of nowhere, he pulled Sakura to his chest and hugged her, in front of a gaping audience.

"This will make sure that everyone knows were together…and stop messing with you." He whispered in her ear. Sakura was too surprised to respond, even when he pulled away. Sasuke kissed her forehead and smiled a bit and they could have sworn to notice some girls fainting.

"Umm teme we're still here. Emphasis on me!" Naruto pouted and Sasuke just smirked. Then he turned to see a guy who was part of the crowd.

"You. Get a tray and some food. One of each." He ordered. The guy immediately obeyed and Sasuke ordered again for him to put it in a nearby table.

"You're gonna eat all of that?" Sakura asked in disbelief.

"Me? I bought that for you." Sasuke smirked. He gave the guy some tip since he didn't want to be that mean and they settled down on the table. Everyone seemed to be back to their businesses but the group knew they were talking about what happened.

"Look Teme I understand you guys are in this relationship thing and I respect that." Naruto told them as he bit his chicken. "But please, no lovey dovey scenes in my presence!"

"Sorry Naruto…" Sakura apologized. She looked at Sasuke who was in his silent mode again. He must have sensed she was looking at him and turned to her. She quickly looked away and focused on the big amount of food in front of her.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I-I don't think I can eat this much."

"Then eat as much as you can." Sasuke told her. Sakura still hesitated so he grabbed her chopsticks and took a piece of beef. He put it close to her mouth and told her to eat it which she obeyed. Then he took some rice and did the same. Suddenly they hear something break and see Naruto clutching a broken chicken bone.

"Teme…are you mocking me or something?"

"Sorry dobe." Sasuke seemed to smirk a bit as he handed Sakura back her chopsticks. Gaara chuckled and just patted Naruto's back to calm him a bit.


Sasuke and Sakura were up at the roof top getting some fresh air after their meal. Sakura sighed as she admired the view.

"Ahh it's so refreshing up here!" Sakura smiled. Sasuke walked beside her with his hands in his pockets and sighed as well.

"You must have really missed Japan."

"Very much." Sakura smiled.

"Your parents are actually nice." Sasuke smirked as Sakura's eyes widened when she turned to him.

"You met my parents?"

"Yeah. Don't worry. They seem to like me." Sasuke told her. Sakura pouted as she pondered for a moment.

"I guess they were surprised when they suddenly saw you."

"Not really. They said you were talking about me." Sasuke smirked when Sakura blushed at what he just said. "What were you saying about me?"

"N-nothing. Never mind that." Sakura looked away and Sasuke just chuckled. "Wonder how they will react towards our relationship."

"Elated I bet. I mean, who wouldn't be happy knowing that their daughter actually has a boyfriend as handsome as me." Sasuke joked and Sakura rolled her eyes as she giggled.

"Wow Sasuke. You're so modest." Sakura said sarcastically. Sasuke smiled and walked behind her to wrap his arms around her waist.

"Though…I know my parents would be happy as well to know I have a girl friend like you." He whispered which sent chills down Sakura's spine. Sasuke chuckled and kissed his blushing girl friend's temple.

"By the way, there's something you should know about me.."

"Hmm?"

"I easily get really jealous." He whispered. "I don't like seeing you with some guy. Especially that ex boy friend of yours."

"Daisuke? He just happened to be there. I was surprised as well. I also didn't like his presence."

"I hope you understand that side of me."

"Of course. I get jealous as well. Knowing that you easily get attention from other girls."

"But do you ever see me entertaining any of them?"

"No." Sakura smiled. Sasuke made her face him and looked straight in her emerald orbs.

"I'm not interested in those other girls."

"I know." Sakura smiled. "I trust you."

"I trust you too." Sasuke smiled and kissed her lips lightly. Sakura kissed back and pulled away after their chaste kiss. Sakura hugged him tight and Sasuke returned it eagerly.

"I love you Sasuke."

"I love you too Sakura." Sasuke smiled and kissed her hair. The bell suddenly rang and they had to return to class.

"Remember, stay away from that Daisuke."

"Yup. I promise." Sakura smiled. Sasuke held her hand and they walked together to their class.


It's been a few days since Sasuke and Sakura was a couple. People still didn't get over it but they knew they will someday. Sasuke's fan girls learned to accept the fact that Sasuke was in a relationship but still didn't stop bothering him. Sakura knew Sasuke didn't care about them so it didn't bother her either. But Sasuke made sure they keep their distance from his girl friend. Thankfully the guys get the message faster than the fan girls do.

Sasuke was currently in the mall strolling around, Since Sakura was out with her family, he couldn't spend some time with her and decided to hang out here a bit. He casually walked around, oblivious to the stares that were on him from different female admirers. Suddenly he paused and walked backwards a bit in front of a jewellery store.

"Hmm…Should I buy her something?" He thought. "Does she…even like jewellery?"

He pondered for a bit and shook his head, "Should I buy something more…unique?"

He entered the store and looked at the different jewelleries for sale. There were different styles, colors and sizes. Their prices were no joke as well. Sasuke checked all the displays until one caught his attention.

"Um miss…" He looked up and jumped when there were about 5 salesladies looking at him, ready to assist.

"Yes sir? What can I do for you?" One asked. Sasuke raised his brow but just shook his head.

"Can I see that one?"

"Of course sir!" She smiled and handed him the couple ring that he chose. It was silver with diamonds decorated on it. One had pink diamonds and the other had blue.

"This seems good." He thought. "I'll take these. Please wrap them quickly."

"Right away sir!" The saleslady nodded and began wrapping the rings.

"Umm sir...Is it ok for me to know to whom these are for?" One asked as Sasuke was checking his phone.

"Hm? It's for my girl friend and I." He answered and he saw disappointment in the girls' eyes.

"Aww…She's really lucky to have you as a boyfriend."

"Not as lucky as I am to have her as a girl friend." Sasuke smirked. The girls squealed silently from what he said and seemed to forget that he was in a relationship since they had hearts in their eyes. The rings were already wrapped and Sasuke gave his credit card. He thanked the saleslady and walked off with the girls' eyes still glued to him.

"Wow…I wish I had a boy friend like that." One sighed and the others couldn't help but agree.


Sakura was back home with her parents and she ran off to her room to change. She lay on the bed as she rested from her trip.

"Urgh…I still feel tired." She sighed. Then a thought suddenly popped in her head. "Wonder how Sasuke's day went."

She was busy typing a message when a knock on her door interrupted her.

"Sakura-san, you have a visitor."

"Must be Sasuke-kun." She smiled and dashed to their door. She opened it to see a dark haired male whose back was facing her.

"Sasuke-kun! How was your-"

She paused when the male turned and she soon felt fear even if he was smiling at her.

"D-Daisuke?"


Sasuke was on his way home from the mall. He suddenly received a message and saw that it was Sakura asking how his day was.

"So she's home already." He smiled as he glanced at his present on the passenger's seat.

"I'm coming Sakura."


When Sakura realized who he was, she quickly turned away and was about to run inside when he grabbed her arm.

"Sakura please, I want to talk."

"Just leave!" She told him but he refused to let go of her.

"Please Sakura. I won't hurt you."

"Go away!" Sakura exclaimed.

"I'll only go if you listen to me!" Daisuke exclaimed as well. Sakura turned back with a glare. "Please Sakura. Just give me a minute"

"Only a minute." Sakura said sternly. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited.

"Umm I know we had a rough start since I came here. I didn't mean to scare you on our first meeting. I just-"

"Is it about that?" Sakura interrupted. "I don't need to hear it, goodbye."

"Sakura!" He grabbed her again. "Just let me finish."

Sakura sighed and decided to give him more time.

"Why did you follow me here anyway?" She asked

"Well…It really wasn't my intention to run into you here. Since my parents were here I decided to just continue studying here. But when I saw you, I was equally surprised."

"Hmm…is that all?"

"Umm well…I know we didn't have a great relationship back when we were in the US. I know it was my fault and…I just didn't get the chance to apologize."

Sakura sighed and checked her watch. "You only have 20 minutes left."

"Sakura I'm sorry! For everything that happened!" Daisuke exclaimed. "I regret what I did to you. It's alright if we don't get back together. As long as you accept my apology."

Sakura suddenly smirked at what he said. "You think it's that easy to just accept your apology? Even if you kneel and beg I still don't accept it."

"Sakura please!"

"Look, I don't need your apology or your presence here. It's better if you leave."

She was suddenly pulled back harshly and she collided with his chest. He held her tight so she had a hard time escaping him.

"Let me go!"

"Not until you accept my apology." Daisuke glared. Sakura then felt displeased with his action.

"Is that a proper way of apologizing?" She glared back. "Look I have no time for this I have to-"

Suddenly Daisuke's lips were on hers and Sakura froze from shock. Daisuke pulled back and even then Sakura's brain was still analyzing what happened. Though a sudden thud woke her up from the trance.

"S-Sasuke…" She whispered when they see Sasuke by his car. He was obviously in an extremely bad mood as he glared and his hands were balled up into fists. Daisuke seemed to be surprised as well with the Uchiha's sudden appearance. He let go of Sakura as Sasuke approached him and his fist instantly collided with his face. Sakura gasped at his actions as Daisuke wiped blood from his mouth.

"Never show your face to me again." Sasuke said darkly. He then turned to Sakura who felt scared by his glare as grabbed her hand.

"We better talk." He said with a stern voice and Sakura gulped.

This is not good….
