Disclaimer: I own nothing, just the plot

I traveled through the house, my bare-feet becoming sore. I didn't know what part of the house I was in, but I saw a hallway with four doors aligned. I peeked in one, empty. There was the bathroom, then another empty bedroom, then I reached for the golden handle that was screwed to two white double doors. I pushed inward and I saw a queen-sized bed with two nightstands that were accessorized lamps and books. One had a picture frame standing on the nightstand's surface. I gently tapped the door, hoping it'd fall close. But it didn't and I didn't notice. I held the wooden frame in my hands, careful and still. My eyes scanned everyone's face: the man's was emotionless and calm, the woman's was warm and loving - like a mother's should be -, the oldest boy's face was like the father's, and the youngest boy's face was curious and faithful... Unlike he was now.

Sometimes you'd wonder if all those angels were watching over you. At least you prayed they did. Sasuke needed a push and love from someone... Not the fangirls' love, but someone who truly cared for him. I wished I knew someone who could help him. I really want to...

"SAKURA!" I turned in a hast, hearing my name begin called. I looked for somewhere to hide, but nowhere would fit my entirely, so I laid on the floor of the other side of the bed. I still had the picture frame in my hands. I was delicate with it as if it would break at the lightest touch. I just noticed that the glass was shattered and pieces were slowly flaking off. I nearly cried out when a piece of glass sliced a shallow cut on my hands. The glass shard was only three centimeters thick and it still hurt like hell! Suddenly the door came slamming open, causing me to tense.

"Teme! She's not in here!!" Naruto? Was Naruto and Sasuke looking for me? Then Naruto's voice came again, "Damn, here's a lot of dust on the bed..."

"Hn. Obviously, I haven't touched it for eleven years..." Sasuke said.

"ELEVEN YEARS?!?!" Naruto exclaimed, shock present in his voice.

"Aa." Sasuke replied in his one-syllable answer.

"You know... I think I should take you to a Speech class. You clearly don't know how to say any words..."

"Hn..."

"Stop."

"Hn." Insert his smirk.

"STOP IT, DAMN IT!!!" I clenched my jaw shut so tightly it hurt. I didn't want to start laughing or yell at them to be quiet, so I stayed still, but they didn't leave. In fact, they just kept the same thing going for fifteen - well that's what it felt like - minutes.

"GEEZ! SHUT UP!! BOTH OF YOU ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!" I bellowed furiously. I stood and brushed the invisible dust on the clothes and I saw Naruto and Sasuke smirking at me. "What?"

"We knew you'd come out..." Naruto claimed cockily.

"How'd you know I was in here? Or did you just do this in every room?" I asked, challenging him. The blonde became silent and his smirk had vanished into thin air. "Yeah, that's what I thought..." Suddenly Naruto's bright blue eyes got wide and a red color was quickly covering his face.

"Y-you.... uh, s-sh...You..," He stuttered, not making sense. I raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sasuke who was holding his nose and looking away from me.

I was confused so I asked, "What? Is there something on my face?" I put my hands on my hips... And felt my skin. I looked down, "Shit." I forgot that Sasuke ripped my shirt open and now I was standing in front of them with ONLY a bra on. And it wasn't even a sports bra!

Thanks a lot Sasuke... This is just what I wanted Naruto to see... I mentally lied and thanked Sasuke.

...This is just what you wanted Sasuke to see... My inner mumured.

I inwardly blushed bright red, Shut up! I did not!!

Liar! You are a denier!! (A/n: Lu, if you're reading this, remember G.K. and 6th grade XD )

What the hell is a "denier"?!

YOU!! My inner screamed, answering my question. But it didn't help.

"Hello? Sakura, you okay?" Naruto's hands were on my shoulders and he started to shake me like a ragdoll. I snapped out of it immediately and nodded.

"I think so, but your hands cold and there on my shoulders... So, could you..?" I suggested and motioned my shoulders. I gazed passed my friend and saw Sasuke's arms crossed across his chest. He was glaring at the wall, why?

"Sasuke-kun..." I whispered, hoping he'd hear me. He did and out of the corner of his eyes he looked at me. I mouthed, "You want a hug?" I joked and his face suddenly became shaded with three different reds. I laughed aloud.

We found our way out of Sasuke's main house. Or what used to be his main house. We walked across the little street and went into where I lived now.

"Are you sure that its alright if I stay here?" I asked, standing beside Naruto as Sasuke was unlocking the door.

"It is perfectly fine with me! Is it okay with you, Teme?" Naruto turned to the raven-haired man.

"Hn." Was is only reply.

"Great! Thanks, Teme!" Naruto smiled before slipping past Sasuke and going inside. Sasuke was about to step inside until I pulled him back with my monster-strength and closed the door quietly.

"Sasuke? What's wrong?" I asked him, strands of my bubble gum colored hair fell into my face.

"Nothing," replied the Uchiha.

"Are you sure?" I watched him nod, then I quickly added, "Well, I'm here if you wanna talk... And sorry about.. earlier..." I raced passed him, then followed Naruto's suit: I went inside.

Thirty minutes later, Sasuke still hadn't came inside. I asked Naruto to go check on him. The blonde agreed because he was getting hungry and I refused to feed him until he said yes.

He stepped out of the front door and nearly tripped over the slouching Sasuke. "Woah!" Naruto yelped as he nearly fell, "You need somewhere else to sit, dude. I almost fell over you."

"Aa." Sasuke mumbled.

"Sakura-chan's wondering where you are... I think she's worried. And she's making dinner."

"Uh huh..."

"Well, you should come in and eat too. I'm sure it has tomatoes."

"Uhmm..." He sighed and ran a pale hand through his raven hair.

"Stop making weird noises," Naruto commanded while sitting on the porch next to his best friend. "What's wrong? You normally talk when it's just me here."

"I know."

"Okay, well we're sort of getting somewhere..."

"Hn."

"Okay, nevermind, I lied about that whole "getting somewhere" thing." Sasuke shrugged and frowned.

"Do you love Sakura-chan, Sasuke...?"

Sasuke turned to Naruto with obsidian eyes, "...No."

Naruto stood and wiped his hands on his jeans, "Then don't lead her on..." He replied, a serious look on his face. He headed inside once more, but called this before the door shut: "Come eat!"

Sakura turned and smiled at Naruto when he came into the kitchen, "Hey Naruto. Will you give me a hand?" I asked politely. He smiled back and nodded. I handed him a sharp-but-not-so-sharp knife, a clear cutting board, and four tomatoes. "I need you to cut these into little squares..." Then I whispered in his ear, "I heard Hinata likes a guy who'll help her cook." He blushed a little and smiled. I giggled a little and went back to tending the beef.

"Sakura..?" Naruto called out to me.

"Yes, Naruto?" I replied softly.

"What are we making anyways?"

"Beef and Tomato stir-fry... Do you think Sasuke would like it?"

"I don't know, I uh, need to go... somewhere, bye-bye!" He shouted while rushing out of the kitchen. I spun around to object, but then I saw Sasuke standing there.

"Oh, Sasuke-kun... Um, will you," I didn't even get to finish because he was already there, except he was eating the tomatoes, not cutting them. Aw, he was cute! I smiled and went to the fridge, I bent to grab two more tomatoes from the Vegatable bin. I turned, holding the red fruit/vegatables and I practically ran into Sasuke's chest.

"Ohh...." I breathed, which was becoming hard with how close he was to me. I struggled to get air through my air-way. I saw him smirk when he realized what he was doing to me.

"Sakura." His voice was still ironbound and lolling. His eyes, his voice, his personality; to me, Sasuke Uchiha made me exhilarated. I loved everything about him... [But no one could ever know that -- it's our secret, SHHH!!]

"Sasuke...?" Kami, did this boy know what he did to me with his proximity? It was a simple space issue and this boy nearly had me swooning. "You're r-really close..."

"You liked it though," He whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my back. I stared at his broad and muscular chest, trying to think of other things other than the kisses we shared.

"I... I," There were no words, this was all too overwhelming. I couldn't think straight and unhelpful words were the only things coming to mind. Other than that shattered picture of the Uchihas.

His stone-cold lips contacted with mine and my emerald eyes were wide and shocked while Sasuke's were staring back contently.

"Mhmm..." I whispered against his lips before finally giving in and letting my eyelids collaspe over my shade-of-green orbs. He smirked, not breaking the kiss. I felt his eyelashes brush mine when he closed his eyes. He arms snaked around my waist and I let one of my hand stay on his shoulders as the other one tangled itself in his silky raven locks. Lovingly, I massaged his scalp. One of his hands slipped up my shirt and touched my back. I gasped when I felt his rough, ice cold hands begin to rub my lower back. The youngest Uchiha took this opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. We "battled" for dominace; but of course, he won almost immediately. I pulled him as close as possible.

"Hey! Is the food --- HOLY SHIT!!" Naruto hollered as he covered his azure colored eyes. We broke away from each other, forcing a large space between us. I gently wiped my mouth and looked at the tile flooring. I was embarassed, I'll admit.

"Um, Naruto... let's just go to Ichiraku's...," I quietly coaxed him.

A bright smiled apeared on his face, "Okay!" He exited the kitchen, forgetting about the moments that had previously happened. Sasuke went to follow the blonde, but I called out to him before he turned the corner, "Sasuke! Are you..." I didn't want to finish, so I didn't.

"Hn. Don't worry," He grumbled. I tilted my head to the side, my eyes watching him leave the kitchen. I sighed and glumly followed the two nineteen year-olds.

Our ramen-filled dinner was quiet, with the exception of Naruto's rambling. I saw him order another bowl causing me to gape at him, "Naruto! That's your thirteenth bowl! All this ramen for one person, under two hours, it cannot be healthy!" I preached.

"You should've seen him before you came, especially on good days," The ramen owner noted, a weak grin marring his old face. Naruto cheekily smiled and laughed sheepishly.

"You and I are going to have a serious talk later," I proclaimed, making Naruto gulp and nod. I glanced at Sasuke from the corner of my eyes and I saw him staring into his brothy dish.

"Sasuke?" I whispered.
