Kitty: (stumbles upon dusty, spider web-y characters) Um... Do you want me to finish this fic?

Naruto: Hell yeah!!! We've been waiting here for more than... (slowly counts months away on fingers) August... September...

Sakura: Four months, Kitty-chan! We've been here for more than four months! Do you have anything to say for making us all wait so long?!

Kitty: ...I'M SORRY!!! (cries) I wrote other stories! (sob) I couldn't help myself! (sniffle)

Sasuke: So, you think those other guys are better than us, huh?

Kitty: ...I don't wanna talk about it... (cries) Just read the damn story!!!

Disclaimer: By the last chapter, I hope at least some of you know that Naruto doesn't belong to me...

The day after the incident at Sasuke's apartment...

Sasuke didn't think he'd ever recover from the previous evening's... adventures. He had felt so violated on so many levels, even though there had been not too much actual physical contact had been made by the offending pink-haired girl. After carrying an unconscious Sakura to her house, accompanied by Naruto, then leaving her on her doorstep and running, Sasuke had felt somewhat accomplished. He had, in fact, rid himself of Sakura for the time being, and didn't think that she would be speaking to him any time soon out of sheer embarrassment.

As he walked to class, Sasuke yawned widely. He hadn't slept much, for obvious reasons. By the time he reached his seat, he was almost asleep. So buried his head in his forearms as an attempt to get a few minutes of sleep before class. But, since this was Sasuke, he was never that lucky...

"...And then he said, 'Sakura, I've been lusting for you for so long. This is like a dream come true." Sakura's voice floated around Sasuke as she entered the classroom, a few almost-weeping members of Sasuke's fan club close in tow.

"You... are so lucky..." one of them half-sobbed. "Sasuke wanted to go past third base with you, Sakura! And you're not even dating!"

This comment seemed to echo through the noisy classroom, which miraculously became silent just in time to hear it. Sasuke's head shot up, eyes huge and face paling rapidly. Suddenly, all his classmates' eyes were on Sasuke. Thankfully, Ino hadn't been there to cause a ruckus.

"W-What?" he choked. It had been the other way around! Sakura had wanted Sasuke!

"Did you really, Sasuke?" Shikamaru inquired, actually impressed by something for once. Lee was livid.

"No!" the younger Uchiha sputtered, raven eyes flashing. "Of course not! Why would I do something like that?! Why would I do something like that with Sakura?!"

"What's wrong with Sakura-chan?!" Lee suddenly barked. Sasuke was scared out of his mind by this whole situation.

"Nothing..." Sasuke said defensively, not sure if he was lying to Lee or not. He had almost been Sakura's friend until the past night. "I just wouldn't do something like that with her."

"Ooh, but Sasuke," Sakura chimed in, gazing sweetly at Sasuke. "You did want to. Why else would we have had that intimate moment on your bed? I felt you wanted to go a bit further than we should have, considering we're not even officially a couple."

"But we didn't," Sasuke insisted, allowing an awkward silence to fall upon the classroom. A moment later, Sakura spoke up.

"Sasuke, the reason I declined your offer of lovemaking last night..." Sakura sighed heavily. Sasuke wanted to say something in his defense, but bit his tongue; he almost wanted to hear what she had to say. "It was because I didn't feel comfortable about you... Or rather, our relationship."

She didn't feel comfortable?! What was wrong with this girl?! Sasuke was the one wrapped in a sheet and squealing like a weenie!

 didn't feel comfortable?! What was with this girl?! Sasuke was the one wrapped in a sheet and squealing like a weenie!

"So Sasuke..." she said softly, averting his gaze. "Will you go out with me? I'd be glad to take you up on your offer if you would."

Sasuke felt like he could strangle Sakura. Trying as hard as he could to maintain composure, he looked straight into her eyes and took a deep breath as he thought out what he would say to this girl.

"Sakura, before I answer your question, first I have something to say, and I want to make sure everyone hears this," Sasuke announced, beckoning his classmates over so that they would hear him. "Last night, when you came into my apartment, completely uninvited, I did not ask you to hit the sheets with me. Why you would imply that I did such a thing I do not know, and why you would lie about it to the entire class fascinates me to no end." Sasuke could feel his eyes boring into Sakura's, and he could see the tears beginning to form.

"So, Sakura," Sasuke said coolly. "No, I will not go out with you."

"But, Sasuke--" Sakura whimpered.

"I don't like you!" the Uchiha boy insisted, feeling his fingers begin to clench out of sheer frustration. "I don't like you at all! I never did! And I never will! So stop following me around with useless stuff to give to me, and stop sneaking into my apartment when I'm not there, and stop asking me to go out with you! It makes me so mad I can't even think!" Sasuke finished, huffing from the effort.

The class stood in a circle around Sasuke and Sakura, eyes wide. That was the most they'd ever heard Sasuke say all at once, and also the most emotion they'd ever seen him display. Naruto and Ino, both having been previously missing, had appeared just in time to see Sasuke's fit of anger. A huge smirk was wiped across Ino's face, and she seemed to be suppressing a laugh. Naruto, on the other hand, was as stunned as the rest of the class.

"S-Sasuke..." Sakura whined, the tears starting to spill over her eyes. "I-I never knew you felt this way..."

Sasuke was still a bit worked up.

"You'd think by all the times I've told you to leave me alone that you'd get the message sooner or later."

"But y-you didn't h-have to be so mean!" Sakura wailed, finally fleeing the classroom in tears. Ino's suppressed laugh seemed to come loose, along with a number of similar-sounding giggles from quite a few other nameless ninja-girls. Lee ran after Sakura as the rest of the class dispersed from Sasuke, laughing and joking about various things. Soon enough, the only one who remained with Sasuke was Naruto, an indescribable look upon his face. His cute features crinkled up into something like an apologetic smile and a cringe.

"Ouch," he said simply, looking at the door Sakura had run out of.

The End.

Kitty: So, OMTTCHKS has come to an end after many months... A bittersweet feeling, no doubt. I didn't mean to bash Sakura quite so much, but this was the last chapter, so I thought I could splurge a bit.

Sakura: I hate you.

Kitty: (lovingly) I hate you, too. Aww, screw this; GROUP HUG!!!! (gathers Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura into a crushing hug)

All but Kitty-chan: MMMFFFF!!!!!

Kitty: Remember to review: There could be a sequel in store, but not for a little while!

Sakura and Sasuke: NOOOOO!!!!!!!

Naruto: Why was I hardly in this story...?
