Chapter Twenty-One

Just read, enjoy, have a good laugh or two, have a tear slip here and there; get mad at cliffhangers or at late updates, and review. Even if it's just a one word review :)

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!

A/N: Hey there loves! What happen to the amounts of reviews?! :/ Was the chapter not that pleasing enough? Oh it's alright…but here's the next chapter! Those reviews better be sky-rocketing! And Shhh…I'm typing this during English class when I'm supposed to be typing my essay. Shhhhh…..


"How does this taste?" Ino shoved a spoonful of red velvet cake with buttercream into her mouth. "Which one do you like better? This one or the chocolate with crème filling?"

A tangy and rich flavor greeted her taste buds. The cocoa powder gave it its richness but it didn't exactly scream 'CHOCOLATE!' It was more of a warm feeling, like your first kiss. And then the cream cheese was like the sparks afterwards.

"Pretty good?" Ino let out a sigh of frustration. "You said that for the past 25 flavors you've tasted Sakura."

"Sorry?" Sakura questioned. "Why don't you ask Sasuke or Daisuke? I'm sure he wouldn't mind eating the next…five hundred flavors…"

"Yeah! I wouldn't mind!" Daisuke nodded his head in such an elated manner that he looked like a bobble head. Chocolate cake crumbs and bits of frosting around his mouth made it look like he had a cute little beard.

"Well I guess." Ino took the suggestion into consideration and then with a nod, the blond smiled as she shoved a different flavor into the boy's mouth. "Do you like this one?"

Sakura watched as the young boy mumbled an answer with a cake stuffed mouth. His reply was muffled and turned into a bunch of, "Blah Buh I blah buh one bubu..." Sakura laughter rang out throughout the room at the awfully cuteness of the boy, he was to cute for his own good.

After watching Daisuke drown himself in sweets, Naruto decided to speak up. From his spot -aside the oh so ever brooding Sasuke-, Naruto suggested, "Why don't we go and do Sasuke's tux fitting while Ino and Daisuke figure out what flavors the wedding cake should be? I'll be like killing a bird with two stones! Yeah!"

Sakura nodded. "That's a good idea since we're not really doing much aside from being creepers staring at you two eating cake. And Naruto...it's killing two birds with one stone..."

"That's what I said Sakura-chan!"

"Sure you did, Dobe."

"Teme!"

"Dobe."

"Teme!"

"Dobe."

"TEME!"

"Dobe."

"TEME! - Hey, where did that bastard go?" His blond spikes whipped from side to side as Naruto tried craning his neck in effort to find the dark haired teen. "Sakura-chan did you see where the bastard went? - Where's Sakura-chan?"

Ino muttered an incoherent comment under her breath before pointing outside the bakery's window. "They already left, stupid."

Averting his gaze to the window, he spotted the two running across the crosswalk. Sakura's pink locks went flying all around her as she threw her head back laughing at something the bastard whispered to her. On Sasuke's face was a small smirk as he gave the rosette a loving, soft look. Naruto watched as Sasuke held the door open for her in a gentlemen-like manner, letting her enter first before tailing just behind her. What he didn't fail to notice was the way Sasuke immediately entwined his fingers with hers the moment he let go of the door.

"They're perfect aren't they?"

Naruto turned his head, facing the solemnly looking blond as she stared at her skirt sadly.

"Sometimes I just wish...I just wish I could be as pretty as Sakura. Not to mention smart, funny, sweet, friendly... And then sometimes I also wonder what if i just gave up and let them have their way. Clearly, Sasuke's whipped as can be by none other than Sakura herself. I wonder what if it was Sakura as the bride and me as the maid of honor."

The two watched as Sakura held up two different colored ties, after much debate, she went for the navy one. Wrapping it around Sasuke's collar, she quickly did a simple knot. Sliding it up, she patted it and smiled. They watched as her rosy pink lips open, forming words that they couldn't hear.

"Are you saying you want to let Sasuke go?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Don't you want to get married to him? Don't you love him? Isn't Sakura suppose to be your enemy?" There were millions of questions he wanted answers to, for the future of his two best friends depended on it.

A small sigh escaped her lips, "I don't know anymore. I really don't know anymore."


A/N: I'm going to do a Countdown to Christmas on FFn by updating everyday for the next 12 days 'til Christmas. But here's the catch though. I will update this story every other day. For example, since I updated TGNISH tonight, I'll update FHF tomorrow. And I know this chapter is really short but it'll be much, much longer next time. So hoped you liked this short chapter and please pardon any errors you happen to come across because I didn't beta this. Review! Please?
