Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Author's Note: People, I'm sorry I made Sasuke and Kiba act like bastards in the first chapter, but I'm going to make Sasuke like that for a few more chapters. I'm sorry! So this would probably count as OOC. I just need him to be like that for awhile, but I can assure you that he'll be nice later on…. so…on with the story!

Chapter 2- Sasuke's Move

Sakura awoke from her sleep with a major headache. It made her clutch the sides of her head to ease the pain, but it didn't help much.

'Owww…my head hurts so much! Fuck this hang-over,' Sakura thought while dropping her head back into her pillow. 'Why is it so bright?'

"You're finally awake," a voice came from the door of her room. "Here. Drink this. It'll help ease your headache." Tenten said as she handed Sakura some pain killers.

"Thanks. What time is it?" she asked while swallowing.

"It's almost lunch. Shikamaru and I were the first ones to get up-and seeing our current state- we decided to miss school for today. We don't want the teachers to ask us why we're a bit sluggish, do we?" Tenten said.

"Did you guys eat already?" Sakura asked tiredly.

"Yeah. Don't worry we saved some for you," she replied.

"Thanks." Sakura said while getting up, ignoring the throbbing of her head.

In the dining area….

"Good morning," Sakura greeted with a smile.

"Maybe, you mean, good afternoon," Chouji said from his seat.

"It is? I thought Tenten said it was almost lunch?" Sakura said as she took seat next to Hinata.

"And n-now it is lunch, Sakura-chan," Hinata said with a giggle. "I'm sorry; I g-got food from y-your fridge without your p-permission. It's just that Tenten-chan and Shika-kun were hungry."

"Hey! You were too!" Tenten said defensively.

"Ahehehe!" Hinata smiled sheepishly.

"Hey guys, I don't if you noticed but since we're all in okay states right now, the thing we're doing is playing hooky," Chouji said out of the blue.

"Um…now that I think about it, he's right," Sakura said while taking a bite from her toast.

"Oh well, no one would probably notice we're absent, so it's all good," Chouji said reassuringly.

"Yeah, I agree with him. Anyway, let's just eat lunch," Shikamaru said as he pointed on the newly cooked food which he made.

"You know how to cook?" everyone said in utter surprise. Their eyes went big as saucer plates.

"Yeah, I do. It's just troublesome to do every day, but if feel like cooking, I'll do it," Shikamaru said casually, which made all of them sweatdrop.

Everyone just looked at each other. And then as if nothing happened, they ate the food Shikamaru made. It was actually delicious! Who would've thought that Shikamaru, the 'lazy smart-ass', would know how to cook such delicious food?

Tyrronan High……

"Eh….Sakura-chan's absent today. I wonder why?" Naruto said to himself while walking in the hallways of their school.

"Maybe something happened to her last night in the club?" a voice suddenly popped out of nowhere.

"What the fuck! Kiba, you scared the freakin' shit out of me!" Naruto said while glaring at him. "And don't say things like that."

"Eh..fine..fine." Kiba said while waving his hands in a surrendering way.

"Do you think Sasuke-teme will really do it?" Naruto asked.

"Do what?" Kiba asked, totally oblivious to what he's talking about.

"The bet you made last night." Naruto replied.

"Oh…that! I think he will. I mean, did you see his determined look last night? Anyway, those girls really don't matter to him, so no harm done. And to add to that, it's only Yamanaka and Haruno." Kiba said casually.

"No harm done! Kiba, I don't give a damn about Ino but Sakura-chan is my friend and I don't want her to get hurt!" Naruto said enraged while pushing him to the wall by the collar.

"Just chill, Naruto. Let's just tell Sasuke that the bet is off, so everything will be cool, okay?" Kiba asked nervously.

Naruto is a nice guy. He doesn't like hurting others without a reason. Heck! The guy is always in a happy, cheery mood! Maybe that's why a lot of girls like him-save the fact that he is good-looking too. But when he gets really mad, you better back-off because no one can stop him from beating the fucking hell out of you. Naruto isn't the type to get really mad easily so only a few people know how he is when he's mad. Kiba's one of those people who knows how he is in that state, so now all he's trying to do is to calm him down in some way.

"We better tell him now, though. You know how Sasuke is; he'll probably get started with this as soon as he gets the chance." Kiba said in full relief when Naruto let go of his collar.

"Sorry about pushing you to the wall. Anyway, come on, dog-boy," Naruto said with a big grin.

"What did you say, dobe?" Kiba retorted in his usual manner.

"Heh! Who's the dobe between the two of us when you couldn't even understand a simple sentence?" Naruto said smirking.

"Woah! You actually found a good come back!" Kiba said in surprise, his mouth slightly open. Naruto just grinned back.

In Sakura's condominium….

"Bye, guys! Go home safely, okay?" Sakura said as her friends were about to leave.

"Yes, mommy," Tenten said teasingly. Sakura just stuck her tongue out childishly.

"Hey, any of you want a ride?" Shikamaru asked while jingling his keys to his black BMW x5.

"I do. Not bringing my car was a big mistake," Chouji said while rubbing the back of his head.

"No thanks, I brought my car, remember?" Tenten said.

"I already contacted my driver to fetch me here," Hinata said with a smile.

"Okay, then. Bye, Sakura-chan," Shikamaru said.

"Yeah, bye!" everyone said while walking towards the elevator.

Sakura waved good bye and went in to her now quiet condo. Just then her phone began to ring.

"Hello, Sakura speaking," she said as she answered it.

"Oh! Hey, Sakura. This is Sasuke, you know, the guy from your school?" Sasuke said.

"Um…hi, why did you call?" Sakura said with confusion obvious in her voice.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to know if you're okay. I mean, you were absent and it got me worried," Sasuke said in a false caring voice.

"You were worried?" Sakura said while a faint blush made its way to her cheeks.

"Yeah, I was. So… are you okay? Are you sick?" Sasuke said knowing that the things he's saying will totally be the bridge for his plan.

"Um…. I'm fine actually. I just had a headache this morning, so I just decided to miss school for today," she replied.

"Oh, okay. I'm glad you're okay. So…Sakura, do you want to catch a movie this Friday?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.

"Um… I'll think about it," she replied unsurely.

"Okay then. I'll be waiting for you're answer. Bye," Sasuke said feeling quite disappointed that she didn't say 'yes' right away.

"Bye….take care," Sakura said while putting the phone down. Unknown to her, those last two words spoken made a certain person smirk.

With Sasuke…..

"I'm going home now," Sasuke said monotonously.

"You're not going to wait for Kiba? I think, you want to tell him that you're already starting on your bet," Neji said in the same way as he did.

"I don't want him to know that I'm already making my move, so I would like the two of you to keep this quiet for awhile," Sasuke replied.

Shino and Neji just gave him a slight nod as a sign of approval. Both of them understood what could happen when Naruto and Kiba would find out. Naruto would probably try to protect Sakura, and Kiba might try to interfere just to win the bet.

Sasuke then proceeded to his silver Ferrari 360 modenna. 'Hn…I have to make her agree somehow,' Sasuke thought.

With Sakura….

'Oh gosh! What just happened?' Sakura thought, still kind of shocked about the conversation she had on the phone.

'He just asked you out, girl! It means that he thinks you're HOT! HELL YEAH!' inner Sakura exclaimed.

'Oh…it's you again,' Sakura told her inner self.

'What do you mean by that? Anyway, back to the topic. One of the hottest guys in school asked you out! And all you said was 'I'll think about'. Girl, you have to change that attitude of yours,' inner Sakura stated energetically.

'Change my attitude? Maybe you should say that to yourself. And I'm still not sure if I'll go out with him anyway,' Sakura replied.

'What! Go out with him. He said he was worried. Heck! He even called you to make sure that you're okay!' inner Sakura said.

'Yeah, he did, but I don't remember giving him my phone number…ever,' Sakura answered.

'See! He asked other people to know what your number is so that he could contact you! Come on, give the guy a chance,' inner Sakura prodded her.

'You really won't stop until I give in, right?' Sakura said.

'Uh huh!' inner Sakura answered.

'Uh…fine,' Sakura said giving in to what her inner self wants.

'HELL YEAH!' inner Sakura exclaimed.

With Naruto and Kiba…

"Hey, Neji! Hey, Shino!" Naruto and Kibe greeted while walking towards them.

"Hey."

"…"

"Hey, where's Sasuke-teme? We have something to tell him," Naruto said.

"He left already," Neji answered.

"What? He didn't even wait?" Kiba asked.

"He probably got bored," Shino replied.

"Damn. We were going to tell him something important," Naruto said.

"Let's just send him a message," Kiba said while taking out his cell phone.

"Uh…okay, but he might think we aren't serious about what we're going to say since we'll just say it through SMS," Naruto stated.

Neji and Shino just looked at each other. Both of them having the same thought; how did he think of something like that? Of course, you couldn't tell that from there emotionless faces.

Kiba seeing their quick glance said, "That's the second for today."

"Huh?" Naruto said, not getting what they meant." So, we'll just have to go to his place then."

"I guess," Kiba answered.

"So, what is this important thing you want to ask him?" Neji asked.

"We're going to tell him that the bet he and Kiba made is off," Naruto answered.

"Why?" Shino asked suspiciously with a very slight frown.

"Because Naruto made me realize that what I told Sasuke to do last night was cruel," Kiba answered.

Shino just nodded in response which also means 'I see'.

With Sakura…………

'Ahhh! I'm so confused right now!' Sakura thought while dropping herself on her bed.

"Maybe a nice jog in the park will help me relax for awhile," she said to no one in particular.

She then proceeded to change her clothes. When she was done changing she started jogging towards the park.

"Look who decided to get all that extra weight off her overly large forehead," Ino sneered.

"Look who decided to burn all that flab from her chubby form," Sakura retorted.

Normally Sakura would just ignore her but today is different. Her temper is shorter than usual because of the confusion inside her head.

"Whatever," Ino said, jogging away.

'Hah! You finally answered back to that retard! Hell yeah!' inner Sakura cheered.

'Whatever.' Sakura said to her.

'Heh! Look who's here, it's lover-boy!' inner Sakura said which made Sakura look around.

There he is Uchiha Sasuke walking in the park. He isn't alone though. He's with a small kid who looks like he'd been crying but now he's smiling while eating ice cream. And if you just look closely you could've sworn that Sasuke smiled even for a second.

'Weird. I didn't know he had a little brother,' Sakura thought, finally getting inner Sakura to shut up. 'They don't look alike, though. The kid has blonde hair and blue-green eyes while Sasuke has black hair and onyx eyes' she added.

With Sasuke……….

"Hey, kid, you're mom is looking for you now," Sasuke said while pointing to a worried looking middle-aged lady with blonde hair. "Don't go walking on the streets alone again, okay?" he continued.

"Okay, Sasuke-niichan. Arigatou for the ice cream," the little boy, Ethan, said while waving good bye. Sasuke then started to walk out of the park.

Flashback

Sasuke drove his car still thinking about how to make Sakura go out with him. Just then he suddenly pressed on the brakes as fast as he could. There on the road was a little boy who seemed to have gotten lost, judging by the lack of an adult and the tears on his face.

'He's a little kid so don't yell at him,' Sasuke told himself. "Hey, kid, get out of the road," he said coldly.

"But I'm lost and I can't find my mommy!" the little boy cried.

'Oh great, the people around are thinking I made him cry. Shit!' he thought once again. "Come on. Get in the car. Where did you last saw your mom?" Sasuke asked while opening the door beside the driver's seat. "I'll take you there," he continued.

"I know she took me to a park. The one with the beautiful fountain that lights up at night" the little boy answered.

"Okay. What's your name?" Sasuke asked while turning left on the next street as the stoplight went green.

"Ethan. What's yours oniichan?" Ethan asked curiously.

"Sasuke," he answered. He took a quick glance at Ethan and saw the little boy's wanting-look on the ice cream stand not too far from them.

"Want some ice cream, kid?" Sasuke asked knowingly.

"Hai!"

End of Flashback

With Sakura…..

'Hey! Tell him your answer, stupid!' inner Sakura said.

'I thought I got rid of you already,' Sakura thought, complaining.

'Shut up and follow him, so you can say your answer!' inner Sakura said impatiently.

'….fine.'

Sakura then ran to catch up to Sasuke's retreating form. "Hey Sasuke!" she called, hoping it would make him look.

Sasuke looked at his back in curiosity and saw Sakura running towards him. 'Shit! I still have no idea how to make her go out with me,' he thought. "What is it?" he asked emotionlessly.

"Uhm….well…. I …wanted to tell you my answer, you know, for Friday," she said slowly as if embarrassed to say more. "Uhm…well…I guess it's okay and I'm free that night so…..yeah," she continued.

Inside Sasuke smirked but on the outside his face was still as blank-yet handsome- as before. "It's a date then," he said, smirking since he couldn't hold it in anymore.

Sakura blushed at what he said and just smiled sweetly. "Yeah. Okay then, so I'll be seeing you around then," Sakura managed to say as she turned around to go back in her condominium.

Sasuke smirked and walked towards his car thinking, 'this is so easy.'

With Naruto, Kiba, Neji, and Shino….

"Ahh! Let's just go, Naruto. He's not home. We've been ringing this damn doorbell for a thousand times already! Let's just go home!" Kiba complained.

"No. We won't go unless we tell him. Especially you, Kiba, since you were the one who made that fucking shit bet," Naruto said, looking directly at him.

"I'll be going now. Your fate is different from mine and I don't tend to be involved in yours," Neji stated as he turned around and started heading to his car.

"I'm going too," Shino said.

"Why?" Kiba asked, feeling frustrated that he couldn't go just because of the stupid bet that he made.

"I didn't make the bet; you did," Shino replied while walking towards his car.

'Fuck…' Kiba thought. 'After this is over, I will never bet in anything in my life…ever.'

30 minutes later……

'Who are those people?' Sasuke thought with a frown as he saw two people sitting outside his apartment.

Sasuke lives in his own apartment. It's a two-story building with modern furniture and appliances. The interior design of the apartment is also suited for his liking; not too light and not too dark, just right.

He parked his car and stepped out to know who those people are, more likely fight those people. "Naruto? Kiba?" he said in confusion.

"Sasuke-teme, where have you been? We've been waiting for you for 2 hours now!" Naruto said while taking a glance at his watch.

"It's none of your business, and I didn't tell you to wait for me," Sasuke replied monotonously as he opened the door to his apartment. "And, dobe, why didn't you get the spare key in the small opening on the left pole over there?"

"Ehhh….I forgot," Naruto replied.

"Ahhh… let's just get on with it," Kiba said while taking a seat on Sasuke's couch. "Sasuke, the bet is off, so you don't have to do any of those stupid things. And please just say okay so Naruto will be at peace now," Kiba said almost pleadingly.

"No."

"What?" Naruto exclaimed.

"I said no. I already started on it, so there is nothing you can do," Sasuke replied uninterestedly.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"I already asked one of them to go on a date with me, and I won't cancel it. I don't want people to see me as the kind of guy that would suddenly ask a girl on a date, then out of the blue cancel it. You and I know that is just wrong, Naruto," Sasuke replied.

'Oh…if that girl said yes right away then it is surely Ino not Sakura-chan,' Naruto thought. "Okay then, Sasuke-teme. Just don't ask the other one anymore, okay?"

"Hn."

"Just answer him with words, so that I can go now," Kiba said with a sigh.

"Okay."

Outside……

"Hey, Naruto, why did you agree with Sasuke playing with one of those girls in our bet?" Kiba asked curiously.

"Oh…because I know that it isn't Sakura-chan. She won't agree right away unless someone forces her to," Naruto replied.

"Oh I see. See you tomorrow," Kiba said while getting in his car.

"Yeah, you too," Naruto replied while proceeding on his own car.

Naruto just doesn't know that tomorrow isn't what he expected. Let's jut say that there was something he didn't get quite clearly with their agreement in Sasuke's apartment.

Thank you to all those who reviewed! They really helped me! Uhm….I don't know when I'll be updating but don't expect it to be soon because I update in like months…I guess. Anyway, I will try my best not to do that….but don't count on it too much! SORRY!
