A/N: This was actually the first time I had trouble with making up a chapter title...
Oh yeah people! I'm back! I'm sorry that it took a little longer than usual for me to update, but I do have an excuse for that! Believe it or not, I'm very VERY busy! Yeah that's right! I kinda shocked you there, didn't I? Yeah, well, university life isn't that easy!
Lee: Oh my! Sweet cherry blossoms and youthfulness! How youthful it is to study! My sweet cherry blossom, Sakura-san, is also very good at studying! She, my love -
Sasuke: Shut up.
Lee: No! I will not give up my love for my sweet, innocent Sakura-san!
Sasuke: Shut. Up.
Lee: Yosh! I will run a hundred miles to prove my love for Sakura-san! Love will prevail I tell you!
Sasuke, looking at Lee dashing off: Or run away, either way, he's silent.
Me: Yeah...
Disclaimer, by Sakura: Naruto isn't hers, but I love her plot!
Chapter 14: Events, events, events!
Sakura slowly walked home. Sasuke, her Sasuke-kun, had been back, looking for her. After he'd left the students had asked their sensei, if she had the hots for him. Then they reformulated the question, realizing everyone had the hots for Uchiha Sasuke. Then they'd asked if they were seeing each other. She had blushed heavily and denied everything. Now she was wondering what their situation actually was.
They'd been on only one date and he hadn't yet asked her on another one, that is, if he wanted to go on another date. Sakura had no idea where she was going. As she looked up, she noticed, she'd automatically walked to Ichiraku ramen.
"I spent way too much time with Naruto," she muttered, shaking her head, but nonetheless ordered a bowl of misu ramen.
She'd only been sitting there for about five minutes, when Naruto showed up.
"Sakura-chan! You're here too?" the loud ninja exclaimed.
"Apparently," she smiled. "I just thought about how much time I spend with you, to end up here of all places."
Naruto flashed a grin at her and seated next to her. He didn't even have to order, since Ayame knew him so well, she already knew what he'd order.
"How are things going, Naruto?" Sakura asked suddenly. "We talk way too less."
"Oi! That was exactly what Sasuke-teme said, right before he started to ask questions about you!" Naruto said, drooling over his bowl of ramen. Sakura's eyes widened, having no interest in her ramen at all. He's asked about... me?
"What? Sasuke-kun asked about me?" she replied eagerly.
"Yeah, I can't really remember what he asked though," Naruto mused, hovering above his bowl of ramen.
"Naruto, if you can remember what he said, I'll pay you eight bowls of ramen," Sakura smiled sweetly.
Naruto's face enlightened. "Really?"
"Promise."
"Well, let's see... I think he asked about your family." Naruto looked at her.
"So, what did he want to know?" she asked impatiently, annoyed because Naruto didn't understand right away how curious she was.
"Well, he wanted to know what your parents were like, and if you had any siblings and stuff. Oh, and he asked about your hair colour," Naruto snickered.
Sakura flushed, anxious about his answers, she asked: "What did you say?!"
"Hmm… I told him that I'd never actually met your parents and I didn't know from whom you inherited your pink hair," he shrugged, paying more attention to his ramen, than to the girl on his left.
"Baka! Do you really think my dad would have pink hair?" she replied, slapping him against the back of his head.
"Itai! That hurt, Sakura-chan!" he whined, rubbing the spot she'd slapped him just a second ago. Sakura stood up and walked away. "Oi! What about my eight bowls of ramen?!" the Kyuubi vessel asked.
Sakura muttered something underneath her breath, walked back and threw the money on the table.

Sasuke was sitting next to Kakashi. He was highly annoyed. Kakashi had asked him to come along and spar with him. Sasuke was bored anyway, so he agreed on sparring with him. Alas, he had missed the twinkle in Kakashi's eye. If he'd paid more attention to him, he'd noticed that Kakashi had different plans with him.
After a really short spar, Kakashi had managed to tie Sasuke up with chakra strings and tied him to a tree. He had seated himself besides him and was smiling madly now.
Sasuke was annoyed by Kakashi, but also by himself, for being captured AGAIN. How could it be possible that a shinobi, as good as him was captured so many times in such a short time.
"Kakashi, let me go now!" Sasuke hissed through his clenched teeth.
"Now, now, Sasuke-kun, don't be so hasty! I just want to ask you some questions," Kakashi replied.
"Kuso! If you don't let me go now, I swear I'll..." Sasuke hissed, but Kakashi said: "What? You'll call for Sakura-chan? Now, just be a good boy and answer my questions."
Sasuke shut his mouth and glared at the elder ninja.
"So, tell me, how are things going with you and Sakura-chan?" he asked with a twinkling eye.
"What the fuck? That's none of your business!" Sasuke replied angrily, not understanding why Kakashi would ask such things.
"Are you two lovers dating?" Kakashi asked.
"What do you care?" Sasuke asked in return.
"Please! Give me some good stuff! Jiraiya is way too busy at the moment! It'll take ages before he'll finish a new Ichi Ichi!" Kakashi whined.
Sasuke sweat dropped and though why the hell he had to be paired up with a pervert like Kakashi and an idiot like Naruto. He was glad, at least Sakura was sane. On the other hand, it had take her a while to finally stop fangirling him. Actually, now she didn't walk after him like a puppy, he liked her a lot more. Enough to go on a date with her. That reminded him, it was about time, that he'd go and see her. He glared at Kakashi. "Now let me go, so I can go and see Sakura."
"You're going to make hot love to her?" Kakashi drooled.
"You sick pervert! Stop it already and untie me!" Sasuke said disgusted.
"Yare, yare. I only wanted to see some action and have some fun," Kakashi sighed.
Xxx
"Sasuke-kun! Date me! I'll do anything for you!" a girl yelled at him.
"Sasuke-kun! Forget that bitch, date me! I loved you first!" another girl screeched, showing most of her cleavage.
"Sasuke-kun, forget about that pink-haired slut, and go out with me! I know what a man needs." One of his fangirls had draped herself around him and was trying to seduce him now.
Kuso, first that Kakashi pervert and now them. Damn it, fucking stupid girls.
"Get lost, you little sluts, or I'll send you flying straight to hell," Sakura said angrily, cracking her knuckles.
Most of the girls were aware of Sakura's insane strength and backed off. Yet, one of them, the girl who was holding Sasuke's arm, like it was a treasure, was apparently new. She glared at her 'rival' and said: "Who the hell do you think you are?"
Sakura smiled sweetly. "How cute, you think you can handle me?"
"Anytime," the girl smiled cockily.
Three seconds later, she was lying unconscious in the middle of a mud pool.
"I didn't even use chakra," Sakura snorted.
Sasuke couldn't suppress a smirk. "If you show up every time something is happening to me, I'll gain a bad reputation."
"I'm not stating you can't handle these girls by yourself." She grinned at his hidden complement. "I just love to beat those girls up."
Sasuke's smirk grew bigger. "Do as you please."
They walked away from the scene together. The left girls were fuming with anger.
"Sakura..."
"Sasuke-kun..." They said in unison.
"You go first," Sakura said quickly, wanting to know what he had to say.
"Aa... I'd like to go on another date with you," Sasuke said, making Sakura blush heavily. She didn't make eye contact with him.
When she didn't answer, Sasuke regretted asking his question. "Forget about it," he said. Sakura cocked her head up at him cold voice.
"Why?"
"Never mind. It was a bad idea," he shrugged it off. Then Sakura grasped his hand.
"But I do want to go out with you again!" she said softly. "I really enjoyed last time. Sasuke-kun, I do want to go out on a date with you again." She hesitated a little. "But I want to pick a location this time," she added. She looked up and locked eyes with him, smiling gently at his handsome face.
"Hn."
"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" she asked, worrying if she'd said something wrong.
"So, you didn't like where we've been last time?" he said coldly.
Sakura couldn't help but smile at the childish side of him. Confidently, she cupped his cheeks and kissed him softly. "I loved it, Sasuke-kun. Don't worry about that. I just have something special in mind..." she said mysteriously.
"I don't like it when things aren't told to me," Sasuke scowled.
"Those things are called secrets," Sakura winked. "By the way, Naruto told me, that you asked about my family?" she said innocently.
"I'll kill that dobe," Sasuke said, tightening his jaw.
"No, don't. It wasn't really his fault. I offered to pay him eight bowls of ramen, if he'd speak up. So technically, he was being tortured," she smirked.
"So, how did you find out I asked anything to begin with?" Sasuke asked, arching an eyebrow.
Sakura was silent for a second, before she said: "You're right, it's his fault."
Sasuke smirked. Time to fight Naruto.
"But that don't answer my question, why did you want to know about my family?" Sakura repeated.
"Because I'd like to meet them..."

"Shizune! Come over here now! What is taking you so long? Half an hour ago, I already asked you to bring me sake! I need my sake, for Kami's sake!" The blonde Hokage didn't get any response. "Damn it Shizune! Come here already!"
"Tsunade-sama! Tsunade-sama! We need team Kakashi! We need team Kakashi now!" Shizune panted heavily as she came running through the door. The doorknob slammed a hole into the wall.
"What the hell? Where's my sake? Give it to me already!" Tsunade yelled, slamming her fist on her desk.
Shizune let the bottle crash down on the desk and panted. "Tsunade-sama! You have to listen! It's urgent!"
Tsunade looked confused and sat down. "What's urgent? Wait! Wait! First a my sake." She put some of the alcoholic liquid in to a glass and drank it all in once. "Ah! That's better. Now, what the hell is wrong?"
Shizune inhaled deeply, before she started to tell what was going on.
The Hokage's eyes widened and she said: "Call Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke. We'll need them all."
"Hai!" Shizune saluted, before she stormed out of the office again.
Xxx
"Sasuke-san! Sakura-san! You're urgently needed in the Hokage's office!" A ninja had come to seek them out and tell them the message he'd heard from Shizune.
"What? You must be wrong, tomorrow is my day off!" Sakura said annoyed.
"Orders from the Hokage," the shinobi excused himself.
"Hn." Sasuke grabbed Sakura's arm. "Let's go."
"Thank you, Sasuke-san!" The ninja thanked him, glad that he wouldn't have to persuade Sakura. He knew Sakura's bad temper and he really didn't feel like dealing with it. He also knew that she'd do everything for Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura protested.
"Come on, we'll probably go on a mission," he smirked. "You like to beat people up, don't you?" he said, smirking at her.
"Well, yeah, but I was actually talking about your fangirls when I said that," Sakura replied, running along with him, because he held her arm in an iron grip.
"Just think about whoever we have to go against, as fangirls, it'll definitely satisfy you," Sasuke smirked. "Trust me. I did it every time I had a fight. I just thought it was Itachi."
Sakura grinned. "Well, at least we'll be together in this mission. Otherwise shishou wouldn't have let us come together."
"Aa," Sasuke replied.
With those last words, they ran into the tower of the Hokage.
