-"Sasuke?" Sakura gasped and took a few steps back from the boy in front of her.

-"Hey Sakura." Sasuke said and took a step towards her.

-"Sasuke, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked and put a hand out in front of her, as if it would keep him from coming any closer.

-"Well, I came to see you." Sasuke said and grabbed Sakura's hand. He gave it one sudden yank, which sent Sakura falling into his arms.

-"Sasuke! What are you-?" Sakura stuttered but was cut off as Sasuke firmly wrapped his arms around her.

-"I'm sorry Sakura. I never meant any of those things I said to you..." he said suddenly, totally catching an already confused Sakura off guard.

-"What do you mean?" she asked softly.

-"All the mean things I've ever said to you, I didn't mean any of them... I was just trying to distance myself from you so that if my brother were ever to show up, you wouldn't of been a target." Sasuke said and hugged her closer, still getting no response to the embrace.

This was all Sakura had ever dreamed of. Her, Haruno Sakura, was in Sasuke's arms, receiving a genuine hug from the black haired teen, and he was telling her that he was sorry for all the pain and tears he's put her through!

About two days ago, this world of been paradise in Sakura's eyes! But somehow, the whole situation didn't feel right to her,...something was defiantly wrong.

Sakura didn't say anything to respond to Sasuke's confession, so he gently released her to look in her eyes, ignoring the sound of Green Day playing in the background.

-"Sakura, I-...I've got feelings for you,...and I- I want to be with you..." Sasuke said and gently rubbed the side of Sakura's arm, making it cover in goose bumps instantly at the touch. "I'm not afraid of my brother anymore...and I know that I can protect you from anything,...please, say you'll be with me." Sasuke finished and looked deep into Sakura's eyes.

Sakura just stared at his blue shirt, not really looking at him. This was too much, too fast. She'd just finished getting over Sasuke, and now all of a sudden he had some kind of feelings for her? Where did that come from?

Getting her senses back, she gently shook her head from side to side.

-"No...no Sasuke. I can't be with you, I'm with Naruto-kun...-" she started, still unsure of her feelings towards Naruto as well.

-"Do you honestly think that I'm going to let some little thing like Naruto stand in my way of being with you!" Sasuke said and reached out to take Sakura's hand.

It was then that something inside of Sakura snapped back to life. She jerked away from his hand and gave him a cold glare.

-"What do you mean 'some little thing like Naruto'! He's just like the rest of us, human! He's not just 'some little thing'! Do you have any idea how much crap Naruto-kun has go through everyday! No, of coarse you don't. You've never seen his living conditions or the way people treat him! I'm sick everybody just brushing him off like as if he's 'just some little thing' that can be thrown away and easily replaced!" Sakura exclaimed angrily and turned to storm away, knowing that if she had to say anymore, she might break down in tears.

Sasuke quickly recovered from her lash out and grabbed hold of her arm, pulling her back, once again, into his arms. Sakura tried to pull away but he had her by the arms and was not about to let go.

-"Sasuke! Let go of me!" Sakura said and struggled some more.

Next thing she knew, she could feel a pair of warm lips crash against her own. Her eyes went wide as slowly, but surely, her first kiss was taken away from her.

(With Naruto)

-"Where is she?" Naruto muttered to himself as American Idiot blasted from the giant speaker from his right, rendering him almost deaf. 'It's been way too long, I'm gonna go see where she is.' he thought as he stood up, walking to the corner where the stage ended and the shops and restaurants were.

Naruto walked up to the end of the stage and turned the corner. He searched the row of shops for the tea house and saw it.

As he walked towards the little shop, gently rubbing one of his aching ears on the way, he saw a couple of people standing in front of the shop. As he got closer, his feet came to a halt while his mouth slowly opened.

There, in front of him, was Sasuke and Sakura, lip locked and hugging! ...Okay, maybe it was a one way hug, but still! Kissing?

Naruto jerked one of his hands to his chest as his heart gave out a shock wave of pain through his body. 'This can't be happening! I thought Sakura-chan was over Sasuke!' he looked on as Sakura's eyes slowly closed. 'I guess I was wrong about her...she's no different then the rest of the village...' he thought as a tinge of anger erupted within him.

(Back with Sakura)

Her eyes went wide as Sasuke forced his lips onto her own, still tightly holding onto her arms so she couldn't get away.

'No! I don't want this! I don't want to be with him...' Sakura's mind rambled on as she closed her eyes, tears escaping them.

Her mind wandered to Naruto, the person who had always been there for her, always. The way he smiled all the time, even when he was sad, he would desperately try to smile, just for her.

More tears escaped Sakura's eyes as she thought about her blond companion.

Her eyes shot open as she felt Sasuke's hold on her arms loosen and she seized the moment. Finding some unknown power she didn't know she had, Sakura pushed hard on Sasuke's chest, making him release his hold on her as she backed up numerous steps, tears still leaking out of her eyes.

Sasuke regained his posture and gave her a questioning look.

-"Sakura, what are you...?" then he saw the tears that were running down her face and the sad look she was giving him. 'Did...did I go too far?' Sasuke asked himself. "Sakura, I-" but Sasuke was cut off when a bright orange wind breaker caught his eye.
