Sorry I took so long! Here's a filler type chapter…

Added Disclaimer: Sweetie if Naruto was mine there would be more Kakashi > : 3 I don't own Naruto or anything related.

This whole thing seems to be a fatal little attraction. Nothing I do is stopping what I feel but when I feel it…

Sasuke's warm breath ran over his pale lips in a sigh. His fingers found their way to the tips of his bangs, twirling it while the boy was deep in thought.

I just wish I didn't.

His hands slunk over the railing of the red bridge. Sasuke gently rested his chin against the railing, as he looked straight on, watching his hair swaying in the wind. He was an hour early for training; he had needed time to think over what he had been feeling and what to do about them. Every time he saw her now…it was unbearable not being around Sakura. His feelings were so strong now.

Stronger and harder to shove to the back of my mind.

The young chuunin scowled at how weak he had become. No matter what he was doing, the stoic boy would somehow find Sakura in his thoughts.

His life had once been centered around avenging his clan- now this? He scoffed at his, so far, failure. He intended to kill Itachi sooner than this, but a little voice in his head always told him to back off and stop thinking about trying. His brother was older and stronger- it would be idiotic to go after him. Dying wasn't an option for Sasuke; at least not until Itachi had done so first.

But secretly, Sasuke had already broken his promise to himself. He was dying on the inside; every moment he thought about his brother, every moment he thought about Sakura. It was as good as a kunai headed straight at him.

The thought of always being beaten by his brother taunted him, but he knew he would never surpass Itachi. The thought of never being able to hold Sakura stung him. What if Itachi decided Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi were family? Would he think they needed to be out of Sasuke's life too?

They felt like family Sasuke, but he made sure he didn't show it. Itachi seemed to love taking away people Sasuke cared for, he didn't doubt Itachi would find it fun to take away the three people he cared for now. His true family was dead, and nothing Sasuke could do would change that.

An image of his mother and father appeared in his mind. Their smiles made Sasuke so happy. They were proud of him and his brother. Now they're gone.

Self-pity is pointless.

The boy's head slunk down so he could watch the river beneath him. Everything twisted and turned over in his mind making the boy quiver with strange feelings.

Hate?

Fear?

Worry?

Love?

The ripples were so pure as his vain tears fell one by one into the crystalline water. The trees shifted quietly in the background, covering the copy-ninja. It was a bad time to let himself cry. A more important mission coming up and Sasuke finally let himself cry? He shook his head and raised the little orange book. Kakashi shook his head thinking of the only survivor of Itachi's massacre finally letting emotions be part of him.

'Sasuke, what have you gotten yourself into…'

- - - - -

Sasuke glared daggers at Kakashi as the little orange book slid out of his holster in the jounin's hand. Sakura rolled her eyes and started to walk home. Kakashi's reading was a tell tale sign that training was over.

'Training's over.'

Kakashi said, a crease appeared under his visible eye as he watched Sakura walk away. Sasuke slipped his hands into his pockets and slowly started to trudge home. Naruto waved goodbye to Team 7's teacher and turned towards Sakura.

'Hey! Sakura-chan!' Naruto called out as he ran towards her. The girl swiveled so she could see her teammate and smirked.

Ramen.

She thought to herself. Slyly, the fox walked up to Sakura and draped an arm around her shoulder. A clever smile played across the blonde's lips as he looked over to his pink haired teammate. She rolled her eyes and playfully pushed him away. Sakura laughed quietly.

'Does this have something to do with ramen?'

She asked through her chuckles.

'My treat.' Naruto said sweetly. Sasuke looked up from behind the two as a twinge of jealousy hit him. He silently glared at Naruto's back. Sasuke knew how many times Naruto had been rejected, but he was jealous of the boy's confidence. Sakura giggled at Naruto and quickly stole a glance of Sasuke. A twinge of guilt hit her.

'Maybe later, Naruto.'

She said, still looking at Sasuke from the corner of her eye. Naruto grimaced at her answer. 'Awh, Sakura! You always say later!' He complained, his hands performing redundant swirls to emphasize his point. Sakura shook her head and put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. 'Tomorrow. After training. I promise.' She pushed out.

Groan. Ramen.

Naruto's face lit up as he pulled Sakura into a tight hug. 'Yay! Thanks Sakura! See you tomorrow!' he said happily while skipping home. Sakura scratched the back of her head and laughed. 'What a strange guy…' She mumbled to herself.

Not forgetting Sasuke, she called out behind her. 'Sasuke, are you going to sleep here?' She said over her shoulder as she started walking. Sasuke smiled slightly and shoved his hands in his pockets. 'Hn.', was his response as he started a slow trudge home.

I seriously have to get over Sasuke. All he offers me is HN. At least Naruto cares…

Sakura shook her head and laughed.

Ramen would be nice right now…

Ice-Princess-Amber- Thanks for the comment! Sorry it took me forever! I really hope you'll continue reading…

Marise-Faia- Yay! I hope my fans still love me after enormous writers block!

D: I hope you continue reading!

Bookworm01- Yeah, I really did change it. S: I though FL was getting a little out of hand and like many people said, the characters were getting slutty. :sweatdrop: I hope you continue reading!

EfrainMan- Thanks for the comment! Jeez, I'd like to see me write well! Give the old story something to live for..

Lone Sakura- I have to fix that…It was going to be a sort of SasuInoNaru and SasuSakuNaru. I've decided it will stay at SasuSakuNaru though. Ino made it complicated! I might write a bit of ShikaIno if the urge hits me.. :

Benjem- I'm thinking of finishing off Forever Longing! I WILL FINISH THIS. I felt horrible about killing off FL. I really hope you continue reading!

Kayla- I might update both. : shifty eyes : I am redoing every chapter though…I'm going to try and incorporate FL into this though. Hope you read on!

ALSO
I'm thinking of sticking up 1-3 chapters for Forever Longing. Stay tuneededed for that.

(they would be ending chapitars. The ending would be different from aCoH!)
