Sasuke listened to the whole conversation. She figured out Naruto and she's still with him. I can't believe her.

'One of a kind, eh?'

I thought I got rid of my conscious.

'Well once you think about another person I come in hehe'

Fine, so why are you here?

'Admit it, you're falling for Shina aren't you?'

I am NOT. She is just more interesting than any other girls.

'Sure, okay but don't blame me if you lose her to another guy.'

Do I care? I just want to focus on killing Itachi right now. I don't need any distractions from my so-called conscious or what's-her-name.

Another team came up to Naruto. "So Naruto," Ten-ten smirked. "Finally got yourself a girl. Who knew you could actually get one."

"Yeah," Lee grinned. "I thought you would never get out of Sakura. You finally saw that I was all Sakura needed."

"So Naruto, who is she?" questioned Neji.

"FYI," Naruto started. "She isn't my girlfriend. And I still like Sakura-chan. Her name is Shina."

"Hey guys!" Shina chirped. She blushed at the thought of girlfriend.

"If you aren't Naruto's girlfriend, than who are you? And why are you with him?" Neji asked.

"Naruto is my best and the first friend I had in Konoha." Shina replied.

"That's odd." Ten-ten wondered aloud. "Usually Naruto is hated and never befriended, no offence."

"Hey that's mean!" Naruto growled.

"So you're another one who has an eye for Sakura, eh?" Shina asked Lee.

"Yeah, and I'm determined to beat Sasuke for her," Lee answered. "Why does she like him anyway? He ignores her and she gave up her friendship to Ino for him."

"Well that's because Sakura is an idiot!" Shina screamed. "I can't believe she would gamble her friendship for a person who doesn't even like her! Heck, she's a lot better off with you or Naruto!" Naruto and Lee blushed. "I don't see why you guys still like her! She's smart at ninja but stupid at friendship and love." Shina covered her mouth. She didn't mean for that to come out.

"I-I don't know what to think anymore." Naruto stated. "You're right. But for some reason part of me wants to give up on her and part of me doesn't."

"I'm too determined not to give up." Lee shouted.

"Look maybe I'm wrong. I hope Sakura will come around and see what great guys you are." Shina replied. "If she doesn't than it's not worth it. Maybe you're meant to be with someone else."

"You're right Shina! Thanks for the lecture. Kinda sound like my mom but a lot more helpful." Lee announced.

"Yup," Naruto agreed.

"Can we cut this stuff, it's boring me." Neji said flatly.

"Yeah I agree with Neji!" Ten-ten sang.

Maybe Shina's right. I probably should give up on Sakura-chan. But I come too far with that. Who would love a boy with a demon inside him? Naruto stared at Shina. She winked at him. Maybe there's just hope someone is out there.

"Naruto why are you staring at Shina all of a sudden?" Lee asked.

"Oh it's nothing Lee, nothing." Naruto smiled.

Sasuke spotted Naruto and Shina laughing together. A burst of rage came from inside Sasuke.

'Jealous'

NO. I'm just wondering why she's hanging out with Naruto.

'Sure… just warning you, you better hurry.'

Hmmm, hurry for what?

"Oh Sasuke-kun!" said an oh-so familiar voice from Sakura. "Aren't you happy Naruto has Shina so we can hang out together more!" It's true. Since Shina came Naruto has been ignoring Sakura less and less. It kinda feels weird not having anyone to stalk you anymore. Wait! This is Naruto I'm thinking about! Not anyone important, besides more alone time with Sasuke-kun.

"Yeah this is great." Sasuke said sarcastically. Why would anyone hang out with that dobe?

"Is anything wrong Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked. "You seem to stare at Shina often." Sakura gasped. "Do you like Shina?"

"NO!" Sasuke yelled defensively. "Of course not. Why would I like a girl who hangs out with Naruto? You're such an idiot!"

"I know that you don't mean that, just playing hard to get. Tsk tsk. Shina is actually friends with that annoying brat! How can she put up with him?" Sakura glanced at Naruto and Shina who were chasing each other.

"Hmm."

"Sasuke-kun, don't be mad at Shina, it's not her fault she doesn't like you. I mean who wouldn't? She's just a blind stupid girl who with luck beat you."

Sasuke felt rage again in his stomach. "Don't call her stupid." He muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, okay." Sasuke-kun is acting funny. Maybe it was Naruto again. Sakura thought nervously. She was denying the truth. Maybe Sasuke-kun is falling for Shina.

Naruto and Shina were laughing as they were talking. "Shina, have you noticed that Sasuke has been staring at you lately?"

"No," Shina answered.

"Oh, it's weird what if Sasuke likes you?" Naruto wondered. She might even like Sasuke and she'll ignore me.

"HA! Like that will ever happen." Shina snorted. Sasuke heard all of this and stormed to Naruto and Shina.

"Sasuke-kun! Where are you going?" Sakura cried. Sasuke ignored her.

"Well what if I do like you, huh?" Sasuke shouted. That shut everyone up.

"Uh…" Shina gulped.

"Sasuke-kun is that true?" Sakura sobbed.

For once Naruto ignored Sakura crying. "She's not interested. Sasuke you will not take Shina away from me and make her an obsessed zombie like Sakura!"

Sakura? Sakura thought. What happened to Sakura-chan? Wait obsessed zombie?

"Naruto no baka! I'M AM NOT AN OBSESSED ZOMBIE!" Sakura screamed.

"Naruto! You can't make decisions for me!" Shina whined.

Sasuke remained silent. Why did I get into this mess anyway? I should've kept my mouth shut.

"Sasuke-kun can you please answer my question?" Sakura interrupted. Sasuke blushed (that's right he blushed!). "No, this can't be happening." Sakura ran. "INO-PIG!"

"Shina do you like Sasuke-kun?" Naruto asked softly not caring about Sakura.

"I don't know. Why is so much pressure on me?" Shina said. "I'm sorry I need time to think." Shina ran as fast as she can deepening into the forest.

"Shina, wait!" Naruto cried as he began to run after her.

"Naruto let her go," Sasuke said calmly.

"What do you mean? You're such a bastard! You scared her off! You're not even going after her. You lied that you cared about her!" Naruto paused for a minute. "Tch, I should've known you'd never feel. You'll always be a cold-hearted ba-"

Sasuke punched him straight across his cheek. Naruto rubbed his hand against the mark seeing blood smeared on it. "Serves you right. Never talk to me like that again." Sasuke walked away. I may have gotten my conscious back but I shouldn't feel this way again. I still have to kill Itatchi and that comes before everything!
