Heya! I'm so in love with you guys!! ::big hugs:: This chapter's a little shorter but this is where the plot actually begins to go into motion. And you know what? I never actually believed that reviews made a difference, but that's before I had reviews!! I immediatly started to write the second half of this chapter! I swear to gods, you guys! I got 15 reviews for the first chapter. Do you *know* how shocking that is? That's more reviews than what I have on *ALL* of my stuff on FictionPress!! You guys are great!
I want to thank you guys for pointing out my terrible mistake. ::chokes back a sob:: I can't believe I wrote Itachi!! I meant to type Iruka! I'm so sorry!--- Itachi would be pretty weird, wouldn't it?

'Damn, Naruto' thought Sasuke, as he woke the next morning to be met with a problem of more than one sort. There was the usual problem after a night filled with dreams, and now - no doubt in thanks to that same boy - Sakura stood with her eyes looking tired, at the door in front of Sasuke's house.
He could see her through the window. 'What's happened *now*?'
As he stretched and pulled on some clean clothes over his night-wear, Sasuke's mind ran through what might have happened to bring Sakura, looking like hell -by the way- to his door. Especially this early in the morning. 'In all the time she was stalking me she never even showed up at my house.'
When the dark-haired boy opened the door, he merely quirked an eyebrow at the blonde girl in front of him. But that seemed to be evough, for she started to speak. "Hi, Sasuke! Ummm.... can I come in for a minute or can we find someplace to sit down? I have to talk to you."
Well, he knew this was coming, but he hadn't expected Sakura to take the initiative. 'I need to start giving her more credit.' But he only nodded, and in answer moved back so she could enter his house. Before he had moved two steps away from the door, he heard Sakura ask, "Why do you like Naruto?"
Well, this was new. All of a sudden Sakura's the leader, and man she went straight for the kill on this one. "Why do you presume I'm going to answer such a question?"
He sat down on an old recliner and turned to face Sakura. Her eyes looked determined and cautious... and well-gaurded. Definetly something new. "What have you guessed is my reason for coming here?"
"To talk of Naruto. To find out if our intentions for him are going to interfere with our being a team."
Sakura nodded, expecting every word. "What do you suggest we do about it? To not do anything on missions? To-"
Sasuke cut her off when it became clear that she was going to get hysterical, "We don't do anything." At her quizzical expression, Sasuke continued, "We don't do anything we don't already do. We don't chase after him, we don't give him ultimatums. If he likes one of us, it'll become clear, if he doesn't oh well. If it takes to long to become clear, and we become impatient and give up, we don't deserve him. Got it?"
Sakura blinked. Then blinked again. Then she tried scowling, "Is that an order!?"
"Yes."
Reverted back to merely blinking, Sasuke nearly laughed at the incredulous expression on her face, as it was he barely made it without smirking. When it was obvious she wasn't going to be doing anything on her own for awhile, he stood and, walking to open the door, said, "Have a nice day."
XD*
Maybe those two aren't fighting after all.
I mean, in the few months I've known them, I don't ever remember them lying to me.. and when I talked to Sakura this afternoon, she *was* pretty insistent that she didn't like Sasuke anymore.
But she didn't have to hit me over the head! I was just making sure that she wasn't going to change her mind. ....my head *still* hurts.
Later, when I was relaxing by a stream, Sasuke stopped by. I know I didn't tell him I was going to be there, so when I saw him turn to leave, I did my stealth-attack and pinned him to the ground an put on my screwist smile and asked him what the hell he was doing. Hehehee.
I don't think I've ever seen Sasuke nervous before that! His eyes widened enough to make his face look Normal!! Quite an amazing sight, but it was gone before I could say anything about it. He got angry. And you know what happens then! His eyes went back to dark, fire-spouting slits; his mouth shrank into one terse line, and he started attacking my intelligence, "Naruto, you stupid peice of crap..." you know, stuff like that. It's normal, for him to say that kinda thing, but it still makes me mad. Still makes me want to hate him. Still hurts. But now I know better than to take it seriously. Oh sure, I still get angry. If I didn't everyone'd think something was wrong with me. Anyways, after Sasuke'd finished ranting, or maybe after I'd stopped listening, he told me he'd been looking for Iruka, an just happened to find me, so he was just leaving.
...except I was still sitting on him.
Now that I think about it... that's weird! Normally he'd've pushed me off before he even realized I was there.
And he wasn't the only one acting weird, either, remember. Sakura was avoiding Sasuke. But when I brought it up with the guy, he just told me that "nothing different is, or will be, going on so get the fuck off of me so I can find Iruka."
He wouldn't tell me why he was needing to talk to Iruka, either! Stupid, selfish bastard! Last I knew he was just 'Master Iruka' to Sasuke, not someone to chat with, but he was just as stubborn about not answering as Sakura had been... and I didn't want a second lump!!
Kakashi told as we have a new mission coming up tomorrow. Said it'll be a little hike through the woods and then we get to go home.
Alittle hike through the woods?! How *bo-ring!* Stupid Kakashi. I think I'll put ants in his miso soup tomorrow. He'll be so busy reading his magazine-thing he won't notice!
....a little extra protein never hurt anybody! (hehehe....)

Remember that reviews *do* help!!
Oh, yea. I noticed something weird when I read the reviews... not one person told me that they wanted this story to have Sakura and Naruto to end up together. Ain't that weird?
hehehee...
