Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.. though I wish I did along with almost everyone else..

Chapter one: Sasuke has feelings!
A gusty moonlit night. Silver slits filtered though the foliage of a tree. A raven-haired boy sat under it.
"Reading in the dark is bad for your eyes Sasuke-kun." Sakura stepped out into the moonlight, her green eyes gleaming under her consciously large forehead that she tries to shade pink hair with.
"What are you doing now? Tired of being my fangirl? Decided you liked stalking and nagging right?" Sasuke answered without looking up from the book that was laying in his lap.
"Hah! Got you!" Naruto yelled as he swung from a branch above Sasuke reaching for the book.
"Nope." Sasuke smacked Naruto in the face with his book and the doppleganger disguised as Sakura vanished.
"You suck Sasuke-teme!" Naruto whined "can't you once not be a jerk and ruin my fun!"
"Should I say it's fun to deal with you or tell you you're an idiot?" Sasuke glared. He then got up and walked away with his book. Stupid Sasuke-teme! I'll kick his ass and he won't be smarty then. Naruto stomped off muttering threats and schemes. When Naruto got back to his apartment he had already thought up another set of schemes to try out soon. He crawled into the covers to greet fitful dreams of a mysterious book.
Naruto yawned and leaned heavily on the rail, in a matter of seconds he was asleep.
"Wake up idiot!" snapped Sakura as she bonked Naruto on the head earning a snort and groan.
"Gah! oh.." snorted Naruto into consciousness, he stood eyelids drooping. A poof annouced their sensei's usual, late arrival.
"I was busy wi-"
"Just shut it and get on with the mission, I would like to get on with my life." said Sasuke in a monotone as he leaned on the rail with a book under his arm. Kakashi stared at Sasuke, he wondered what Sasuke wanted to rush to... Naruto had nodded off again and Sakura didn't seem to be in the I-love-you-Sasuke-kun-mood.
"All three of you pay attention, this is important." Kakashi started, watching the drool leak from the edge of Naruto's mouth "prepare today, for we have a different kind of mission tomorrow, that will be all, bye." Kakashi vanished in another puff of white smoke. Sakura walked off grumbling after saying "See you tomorrow Sasuke-kun." Naruto slipped off the rail and landed with a thud, still sleeping. Sasuke smirked and walked off with his book. It was noon. At the Ichiraku Sasuke took out a pen and started scribbling in his book. Chouji had dragged Shikamaru there for a bowl or four of ramen. Neji and Tenten argued while Lee preached on the life of the youth.. yatta yatta yatta.. Sasuke's right hand ran across the page as he ate ramen slowly with his left hand. Ino had dropped by to try and strange him but backed off when he snarled at her.
By late noon Naruto's hunger for ramen forced him to wake. A sluggish walk to the Ichiraku had wakened him a bit more. When he walked in Naruto immediately saw Sasuke sitting in the far corner writing. Naruto picked a table where he could see but not be seen. He watched Sasuke's every move while slurping down bowl after bowl of ramen. Jeez, he eats friggin slow! I bet that's only his first bowl. Naruto grinned in satisfaction oh his skill that excelled Sasuke's, eating. What's he writing now? I thought it was just a reading book. Sasuke's become a writer? A novel about betrayal and revenge? Or his secret diary! I MUST see that book! Naruto's thoughts flared as he choked on ramen. A waitress was patting his back as he snorted ramen and didn't notice Sasuke leave.
Naruto's POV: -cough- okay, I shouldn't eat this fast. -eats some more ramen and looks up- SHIT! -coughs and snorts soup out of his nose while the ramen noodles drop back into the bowl- Where'd that Sasuke-bastard go!
Normal POV: Naruto slurped up the rest of his fourteenth bowl of ramen and slammed down money on the table even though he was short two yen (or whatever currency they use). On the sidewalk outside the restaurant Naruto looked back and forth to see if Sasuke was down the street anywhere. seeing no Sasuke he thought for a minute. Naruto reasoned Sasuke might have gone home. He started toward home since his apartment was on the same street as Sasuke's house.
Sasuke had actually gone to the forest to train and think. He had seen Sakura there and regretted not disappearing behind a tree. Sakura greeted him with a hug and begged him to help her train by watching over. Sasuke agreed reluctantly. He sat upon a tree stump watching as Sakura pushed at her own limits to become stronger. She's improved a lot, not that weak, useless, annoying fangirl from three years ago. Sasuke thought as he watched. Sasuke hadn't been aware he had drifted off in his thoughts until his eyes focused and he saw Sakura waving her hand in his face.
"Hunh?" said a dazed Sasuke and Sakura blushed and giggle at his cute, confused look.
"Here Sasuke-kun, a snack if you're hungry, I made them myself." Sakura pushed a few riceballs into Sasuke's hands. Sasuke definitely wasn't hungry, but for some weird reason he ate them silently. Since when did she affect whether I ate for not? Sasuke thought to himself.
"So how am I doing so far, Sasuke-kun?" asked Sakura when she finished her riceballs.
"A lot better Sakura-chan." Sasuke answered without thinking.
"Hunh?" Sakura couldn't believe her ears. Did he call me Sakura-chan! Sakura stared, wide-eyed at Sasuke. Sasuke had turned away blushing furiously. What the hell was I thinking!
There was an awkward silence.
"Erm, Sasuke-kun, did you like my riceballs?" Sakura implored, changing the subject.
"Uh, yeah.. Sakura, I'll be going now, see you tomorrow." Sasuke answered, choosing out his words carefully.
Naruto had waited three hours for Sasuke to show up. Asleep under a stack of papers and junk. The click and slam of a door awakened him. From inside the house Naruto could hear Sasuke yelling at himself. Woah, I've never seen Sasuke like this before. I wonder what happened during my short nap. Naruto looked up and saw a clock through the window. Crap. Three hours! While Naruto was scolding himself for dozing off, he heard Sasuke banging his head on the walls. I wonder if Sasuke has PMS? I better leave him alone. Naruto snickered at his own amusing thoughts. At his own apartment Naruto planned to steal and find out what was in Sasuke's "precious book" the next day.
At Sakura's house she spent some time thinking about what had happened in the forest.
Flashback
"A lot better Sakura-chan."
End Flashback
"What was that? Maybe I was dreaming." Sakura said to herself as she combed her hair in the mirror. INNER SAKURA: NO way! He probably likes you now! Love has conquered!
"I wonder what tomorrow's mission is, I very tough one I bet." Sakura said aloud to help her not think of Sasuke.
