DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO


The next day, on Monday, the girls and guys were walking to class from the parking lot when they heard girls gossiping. They started to tune them out until a certain name was said.

"OMG. Did you see today's issue of Konoha Weekly?"

"Yeah, I did. Like, OMG and I thought those two bands were like legit rivals!"

"Didn't you hear? Apparently Sasaki and Len are in a secret relationship or something."

"Really? Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, I mean the hottest girl and guy in the music industry together? They could be the power couple of the generation!"

"It really is a big deal, you know. Even the school paper printed it out as its cover page!"

The whole time Sakura heard them gossip, she just stiffened as she saw Ino, Tenten and Temari give her a stare while Hinata just fiddled with her cardigan. Hinata was way too kind for her own good.

"You guys –" Sakura started but couldn't continue as the glaring three marched together to the nearest newspaper stand while Hinata just grab hold of Sakura's arm and rushed behind them.

Ino grabbed one and folded the front cover as she walked to where the other waited as Ino was the first one to walk up to the newspaper stand.

She gave out a heavy sigh while looking at Sakura who had glassy-eyes before opening up the cover. There on the cover stood Sasaki and Len. Sasaki was looking up at Len with soft eyes while Len looked down at Sasaki with a soft expression on his face. They were only a few inches apart. Then on the bottom of the picture, in big bold yellow letters was written: 'SO TRUE, SO FALSE: Have the two of them been deceiving the world?'

Ino then turned to the page where they wrote about this.

"The two were still on the down low, even their team mates didn't know. They got together to talk about something. Though unfortunately, nothing was able to be heard as they were whispering very softly. - says an unnamed source" Ino read. Temari then snatched it from Ino's hands.

"Have Len Ishiyama and Sasaki Nakamura been together this whole time? What would this exposure do to the never-ending rivalry between bands 'To This' and 'N-Sync'? Would this cause drama to their respective bands? To be honest, for the first time in forever, we (KW) don't know." Temari read. As she finished reading, she looked at Sakura.

"I'm sure what ever it is, Sasaki had a perfectly valid reason for this." Hinata vouched for Sakura.

"Well, I sure hope so." Tenten said as she crossed her arms.

"You guys, you don't understand, you don't know the whole story! I'll explain it to you, but not now. Later." Sakura said as she wiped her tears from right below her eyes and walked to the opposite direction, to the parking lot; as the girls looked at her with eyes filled with confusion, sympathy, rage and lastly betrayal.

As Sakura walked back to the parking lot, she rummaged through her bag to find her car keys and her phone. As she took hold of her phone., she slid open her phone and tapped on a name after scrolling through her contacts without stopping her walk to her car.

As she reached her black Sesto Elemento, the caller picked up.

"Where are you?" The voice immediately said.

"My car, I'm not attending classes today. I'm guessing you saw or heard the news already"

"Yeah. I'll meet you. Where are you going?"

"The Summoning." It is café – restaurant by day and a club by night.

"I'll be there, just wait for me."

Sakura turned the ignition and sped her way to her destination.

Once she parked her car, a black Aston Martin Vanquish braked to a park immediately right next to her. They got out at the same time and walked through the entrance with Sasuke opening the door for her, letting her in before walking in through the threshold himself.

They both sat on the most secluded seats in the whole place and called for service. Sasuke called for a vanilla milkshake and an iced coffee he looked at Sakura, not even once looking at the waitress who was obviously trying to flirt with him. Once the waitress realized that she wouldn't be getting any attention from the hot guy, she left with the orders.

Sasuke took hold of the roll of newspaper he stuffed in his back pocket and placed it on the table in front of her. They were both sitting on the same side as the seating there were all semicircles. Sasuke just sat there next to Sakura, giving Sakura a hug, which Sakura accepted and in which she started weeping softly to his chest. Sasuke just stayed silent and gave her words of assurance.

The waitress came back with the orders and left.

"I'm sure now would be the right time to tell them about who we really are, Sakura." Sasuke said. All she could reply with was a nod from his chest.

"I'm sorry for delaying this. Because of this your friends are all thinking that you are a betrayer." Sasuke added quietly.

"What about you? I'm sure the guys also feel like that." Sakura said as she looked up. Sasuke wiped her tears with his thumbs as he looked down on her,

"Don't worry about me, I can handle them. You though, might be hurt more because that is just how we were biologically created." Sasuke said with a small grin, which made Sakura laugh.

"It is so you to be such a smart-ass during the most serious of times." Sakura said, smiling meekly as she wiped her tears with both her hands.

"Yeah well, I try." Sasuke said.

"I ordered you your favorite pick-me-up. You better drink it." Sasuke lightly-threatened. Sakura giggled slightly before taking her big glass of vanilla milkshake a take a drink of it. After she drank it, she pushed the straw to Sasuke's direction.

"You know I don't like sweets Sakura." He replied. She just smiled and pushed the straw directly to his mouth, which left Sasuke no other way; but to drink a bit. He sucked a bit from the straw and wait for it to enter his mouth. He thought he would hate it but it surprised him that he liked it. By the time Sakura got back her beverage, it was half-gone. To say Sakura was amused would be an understatement.

"I told you vanilla milkshakes were good, didn't I?" Sakura said, a smug grin plastered on her face.

"Hn." Sasuke replied, a small scowl on his face as his hand reached for the sweet beverage again. He took hold of the cold glass in his left hand in which he reached up high for.

"No, no, no!" Sakura exclaimed, as she tried to reach for her glass of vanilla milkshake. The more she reached for her milkshake, the higher and further Sasuke brought it away. Unconscious to the both of them, Sakura placed her knees on either side of Sasuke's hips, straddling him. Both of them were chuckling, not realizing their compromising position. Only once Sakura got her hands on her glass of cold beverage did they realize the position they were in. they both of them just look at each other's eyes until they simultaneously looked away.

Sakura immediately reacting, apologizing as she moved her right knee away from Sasuke's left hip and turned her body back before sliding her back down to sit like her original seating position.

"I think we should go tell them as soon as possible." Sakura said to cut of the awkward silence.

"Hn." Sasuke said as he called the waitress for the bill.

"Where should we tell them though?" Sakura asked as she started rummaging her bag for her wallet.

"I don't care where, we just need to tell them." He said as he took his wallet from his back pocket as he saw the waitress walked to where he was with the bill. Since Sakura was still rummaging through her bag, she didn't see Sasuke opening his wallet and paid the bill with a 110 Ryōs. He said to keep the change as he rushed the waitress to leave.

"Let's just do it in my place, after school. So we can hang there first before – to thing of what to tell them." When Sakura finally dug out her wallet in victory, She saw the receipt in Sasuke's hand. She scowled while he just smirked. Sasuke pestered her to get up and both of them went to their respective cars and sped to the Girls' house.


I know its crappy but I wanted to update fast. And I'm sure you guys would be all like "Why is Sasuke talking so much?"or "Why are they so close?" But, you know what? I want a different way to portray Sasuke. I mean he'll still be his selfish-asshole self but just not in front of Sakura.

I hope you liked it, nonetheless. Read and Review pleaseeeeee:)

Until next time guys!
