Hey all my readers! It might take me a while to update this chapter because well…I BROKE MY FINGER! YAYY FOR MY STUPIDTY! Actually it was my friend's stupidity. I punched him in the stomach (not hard) as a joke and said "AHHH MY HAND IS STUCK IN YOUR ROLLS!!" and then he punched me and said "I wouldn't be talking" so I started chasing him and I tried to punch him in the face but he grabbed my hand to hard and broke miring finger on my right hand, so I cant write, and it takes me a while to type. Well I kind of was asking for it. I also noticed that well, I have no guys reading my stories apparently. If you have any guy friends out there who have an account on here, just tell them to vote. I don't really care if they read the story lol, I just want at least one vote on the male section. Well here is the next chapter of A.S.P. (and most likely the second to last T.T)!
Song of the day- Stairway to Heaven/Stairway to Hell by Zeppelin (because people go UP and DOWN stairs)
I don't OWN NARUTO (capitals tell the truth!...ok no they don't)

Sakura slowly opened her eyes and quickly closed them again from the bright light hitting her pupils. She opened her eyes again after getting used to the light and looked around her surroundings. "I'm still in Sasuke's house." She thought as she looked around his living room. "We must have fallen asleep." Inner Sakura said as she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Hey." Sakura heard a masculine voice say. She looked down and saw Sasuke looking at her.
"Hi." She smiled at him and then asked with concern laced in her words, "Did I wake you up?"
Sasuke lightly smiled at her and shook his head. "Iie. I was just watching you sleep."
Sakura blushed cherry red and rolled her eyes. She sat up on his lap, and stretched her arms out in front of her. "What time is it?" She asked as she looked around the room trying to find a clock.
Sasuke looked down at his watch that was on his wrist the read 9:43 and held it out so that his girlfriend could read it. "We've got time before the last competition. Want to round up everyone to go out for breakfast?" He asked as he looked over to her.
She nodded while yawning. Sakura stood up and gave him a hand up after she left the warmth of his chest. "Just wait here. I'm going to change real quickly." He said as he rushed up the stairs. Sakura slowly went into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge. "Oh, hey Itachi-nii-san." Sakura said as she turned around and noticed her boyfriend's brother sitting at the island eating cereal.
"Hey Sakura-chan." He said politely as he lightly smiled. "So, what are you guys doing today before the competition?"
"Were going to get everyone together and go for breakfast…hey, I have a great idea! How about you get your girlfriend and the two of you can join us." Sakura said as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively as she said the word "girlfriend".
Itachi slightly blushed and mumbled, "She's not my girlfriend."
"Sure, sure, just keep telling yourself that!" Sakura smiled cheekily. "So will you come with us?"
Itachi sighed and closed his eyes. "I'll go call Kaety-chan now." Sakura whooped for joy as Itachi stood up and put his dish in the sink.
Sasuke walked down the stairs wearing black jeans, a white studded belt, a Cry for Silence tee-shirt, and a BMTH zip up sweat shirt that he kept open (check my profile, Its in there cause I'm getting it!), and high top, back and grey checkered converse. "Ready?" Sakura asked.
Sasuke nodded and they left hand in hand after he grabbed his wallet and keys. They walked over to Sakura's house to get Naruto up so he could help gather everyone…that was their plan until they saw all of their friends snoring on the living room floor. "I guess they all crashed here." Sakura whispered, trying not to wake everyone.
"Well that makes it easier to get them all together." Sasuke said normally, not caring if he woke any of them up, in fact…"Get your lazy asses up!" He shouted as Sakura flinched and brought her hands up to her ears.
Everyone groaned and Naruto chucked a pillow at Sasuke's direction, missing him by three feet because his eyes were still closed when he aimed. Sasuke sighed at all of his friends and said the one thing he knew would get all of them up. "Were going out for food and I'm paying."
Everyone shoot up like rockets and started shouting "I'm up!" "I'm getting the pancakes!" and "Wait, he's paying? Good, I won't go poor."
Sakura laughed at her friend's antics and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. "I'm going to go change." She let go of his hand and slowly ascended the stairs up into her room.
"Wait Sakura! I want to come help you pick out your outfit!" Ino shouted as she ran up the stairs.
Tenten and Hitata sighed as they both said in unison, "We need to go save her from Ino-chan." They quickly raced up the stairs after their two friends.

The group of teens left Sakura's and Naruto's house after Sakura was forced into many outfits, got aggravated, shooed her friends out of her room, and came down the stairs wearing black skinny jeans with chains, a red skirt over the jeans, a black tank top, and Sasuke's Fox Racing sweatshirt with her hair up in a half bun.
Sasuke had called Itachi and found out he was waiting at the diner with Kaety. They all started walking in the direction of the restaurant, Sasuke holding his skateboard being the only one who brought it because he was the only one of the group going to skate that day.
After about a fifteen minute walk, they made it to the Akimichi Diner. Chouza, Chouji's father, owned the diner and always gave a 50 percent discount for all of his son's friends. They walked through the main entrance and were greeted with the ringing of a small bell.
They walked over to the patio and found Itachi and his girlfriend sitting at a table that could hold about fifteen people. The group all sat down (lucky there was an extra seat for Akamaru) and made small talk as they waited for the waitress to come over.
They ordered their breakfast and started to talk about the upcoming competition. "So," Naruto said as he started to dig into him pancakes with whipped cream. "What do you think the last competition will be?"
"I don't know? I hope it is something that will force Sasuke to show off his great moves." Tenten said. "I am excited! I can't wait to see this match! It's a show of true power, skill, wit, and how well you can outsmart the competition!"
"Ok, who here thinks that Ten-chan should be a sports announcer?" Ino asked and the whole table raised their hands, and laughed as Tenten pouted. About thirty minutes later they all finished and paid for their meals. They walked out of the restaurant and started to Skaters Paradise.

"Welcome all to the second day of The Skaters Paradise competition! Today will determine the winners. Will it be team seven or team five? The last competition will be a combination of the first and second competitions. Each competitor will have three minutes to do the five tricks the proctor will pick randomly. The winner will be decided by the accuracy of their trick, and their time. The better the trick is pulled off and the faster the tricks are done, will determine the victor. Good luck to both Uchiha Sasuke from team 7 and Suzuki Kenji from team 5! Meet your proctor by the grind rail in the southern section of the park in ten minutes."
Sasuke stood up when he heard this announcement and started walking to the grinding rails but something was holding him back. He looked at his wrist and found Sakura's small hand grasping his wrist. Her eyes held a pleading look and Sasuke gave her a confused look in return. She stood up and pulled him under the bleachers.
Sasuke opened his mouth to ask if everything was alright but was caught off guard when Sakura crashed her mouth on his. She kissed him passionately and took his opened mouth as an advantage to slip her muscle into his cavern. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran them soothingly through his jet black hair. Sasuke, getting into the kiss, grabbed the back of her head in one hand and he small of her back in the other and pulled her flush against him. Their tongues battled for dominance. Lacking oxygen (you know, a colorless, odorless element of the periodic table that takes up over one-fifth of the atmosphere…yes…this IS what I do for fun) they pulled apart slowly as Sasuke held Sakura's face in his hands and watched as she opened her eyes like she was coming out of the best dream ever.
"What was that for?" Sasuke panted as he looked deeply into her eyes.
"For good luck." She panted as well, trying to regain her breath as she smirked up at him. "Plus…" Sakura started before she leaned back up on her toes and kissed his forehead. "I want you to remember that, win or lose…I will always be backing you up…loving you…and cheering for you." She whispered as she brought her lips down onto his again in a short, sweet kiss.
Sasuke smirked as he wrapped his arms around her waist and interlocked his hands behind her back and nuzzled his forehead on her neck as she wrapped her arms around his neck again and placed her head on his shoulder. They were in their own little world before they were snapped back to reality from the announcer.
"Five more minutes. Meet by the southern grind rails in five minutes!" The voice shouted once more before the line was cut.
"Good luck." Sakura said before she pulled a chain over her head and placed it over Sasuke head so it rested around his neck. He looked down to see a cherry blossom petal charm. It was a very long chain, so that Sasuke couldn't see it on Sakura when she placed it under her shirt. On him it went down about four inches below his color bone. He looked up from the charm and into his girlfriend's eyes.
Sakura smiled warmly and said "For good luck, and to remind you of me when we are far away." Sasuke looked down at the charm again with a soft look in his eyes. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a charm on a silver chain and clipped it behind Sakura's neck. Before she could look down to see what was on the chain, Sasuke kissed her one last time before mumbling into her mouth that he had to go. He walked off and over to the grind rails. Sakura stepped out from under the bleachers but didn't yet walk over to her friends.
She looked down and there, settling in between her breast, was the Uchiha crest dangling off of a thin silver chain.

I was actually going to have the last competition in this chapter but 1- my finger is KILLING me, 2- I wanted to make this story stretch for as long as I can (I don't want it to ennnnnnnddd!) and 3- I thought that that was a good way to end the chapter. Oh and 4- its late and I are tired. Well it will take me a while to update the next chapter but I will try as hard as I can to update soon. Thank you all for reading!
