Disclaimer: I do not own the show Naruto nor do I own any of the characters in Naruto. I will own later characters that will appear in later chapters.

Wow. I have to thank all my wonderful reviewers! It makes me so happy that your always coming back to read my chapters! So I thank you all very much.

"So Sasuke, do you think you man enough for this bet?" Naruto asked.

"What do you think?"

"I think your gonna flip out in the middle and think that your not going to be able to do this. Only then causing Sakura to doubt you and think suicidal thoughts and you going through a guild trip, thus causing you to run to her house to apologize for being so selfish and making her do things that she doesn't want to do. But when you get there, she will be in the bathroom crying because she found out that you got her pregnant. Then you will probably be all happy and stuff while Sakura is bawling her eyes out in the bathroom. After awhile, she will come out running into your arms all happy. But when you leave her house, she will start cutting her wrists because she will probably be thinking that she is a pregnant teen and her life will be ruined. She will also probably be thinking that you will abandon her and the baby because your so high and mighty and garbage. That will probably end up in her running away after the baby is born and us never seeing her again until like a year or two later."

Sasuke's mouth dropped. He was speechless. How could Naruto come up with something like that? Naruto was THAT smart? Sasuke couldn't believe it. The blonde actually has potential. He actually has a brain.

Wonder why he never uses it. Sasuke thought.

"Naruto, what ever possessed you to think that?"

"Simply because it's true."

"And what makes you think THAT?"

"Because your cruel enough to do that."

"Cruel? CRUEL? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?"

"Remember your first date with Sakura?"

-Flashback-

"Okay… so where are we going? I give up"

Sasuke pointed towards a fancy restaurant.

"Oh, I'm hardly dressed for a place like that."

Usually on a date, a normal human being would say, "Don't worry, you look beautiful," or "It's okay. You look fine."

But how did Sasuke respond?

"Who cares? Let's just go already."

The meal went by as usual, with Sakura talking about who knows what, and Sasuke "Hn"-ing in-between her breathes. Usually, this annoyed Sakura to no end. But, this was there first date, so she could live with it for just ONE night in her lifetime.

By the time the bill came, Sakura was quite out of breath and was huffing and puffing. And Sasuke wasn't even listening to her anymore.

Sasuke pulled out some money to pay and Sakura smiled at him. "Thank you so much for the dinner, Sasuke. I really had a great time. Maybe we should do it again sometime. I really enjoyed it"

Now, the normal human being reaction: "My pleasure, Sakura," or, "It was no trouble at all." or, "I think we should! Heres my number."

And how did our Sasuke react to this? "Too damn expensive."

Sakura rolled her eyes and the two left the restaurant.

"Where are we going to go now?" she asked, envisioning a moonlight concert in the park watching the stars, or a stroll along the beach, stopping to place a blanket down to watch the beautiful sunset and all the colors in the evening sky. Hell, she would've been satisfied if they stopped for a scoop of ice cream in the nearest ice cream parlor!

"We're going home."

Sakura fumed, but she kept her mouth shut, not wanting the night to turn out worse then it already was.

Usually, when a guy walks (or drives) a girl home after a date, they kiss goodnight on the doorstep. Of course, Sasuke didn't do that only because they lived together.

Sakura gasped as Sasuke walked through the door to their house, not even bothering to wait for her or at least hold the door open for the girl.

"Well, good night," he called as he started going up the stairs to his bedroom.

"Wait Sasuke!"

Sasuke stopped and looked back expectantly. "Hn?"

"Aren't you even going to kiss me?" she demanded.

Thank god Naruto wasn't home. He probably would have been laughing his ass off by now knowing him.

"…"

"Well?" she demanded impatiently.

"No."

"Why not?" Sakura said stamping her foot.

"Why should I?"

"God, what are you, hormonally handicapped? This date was a disaster! Damn Sasuke, you're just – UGH!" she screamed and stormed off to her room, slamming the door when she got there.

He flinched. She slammed that door way too often…

-End Flashback-

"And that was cruelty right there. See what you did to Sakura? You really upset her! And I for one do not like that. You could have at least treated her better on the date! Even I would have been nice to her. And it was her first date too!"

"So do you have to remind me of that horrible date every time something goes wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes. Because it teaches you something every time you listen to it."

"And what is that Naruto? What does it teach me every time I listen to it?"

"Treat Sakura like crap again and I'll kick your ass."

"Oh, so that's what it teaches us."

"Yes Uchiha. That is what it teaches us."

"So what are we talking about again?"

"Sakura."

"You forgot?"

"It's a possibility. Now I have a lot of things going through my head right now."

"And? What's your point?"

"Why?"

Naruto's face dropped.

"Why? WHY? DO YOU EVEN CARE!"

"Should I?"

"What happened to the Sasuke who was a softie?"

"He's left."

"Why?"

"Because I just realized that I'm not good enough for Sakura."

"YOU BASTARD!" Naruto said as he slapped Sasuke across the face.

Sasuke didn't say anything. He just looked down.

"Listen Naruto."

"What now?"

"I'll stay with Sakura."

"Ok and?"

"I need to ask you a favor."

"Hmm?"

"I need to borrow some money for her engagement ring."

"Isn't that part of the bet? That you'll win the money AFTER she's better?"

"I need it now."

"Why?"

"Have you noticed that she has been acting different lately? Even before the accident?"

"No."

"Must be me then."

"Guess so."

"Thanks for the kind words."

"Your welcome."

"Anyway, Sasuke?"

"What."

"What are we going to do about Sakura?"

"I don't know."

"We really need to help her."

"I know."

"I don't like to see her in pain like this."

"I don't ether."

"Sasuke, what are we going to do?"

"Well, Sai did this."

"I'll kill him!"

"Seriously?"

"Yea seriously."

"Can I help?"

"Ok."

"Thanks."

"Why do you want to help?"

"Look what he did to Sakura. I hate seeing her like this."

"Sasuke, your voice changed."

"What are you talking about?"

"Remember how you used to sound, like you didn't care about anything?"

"Yeah why."

"That's how you sound again."

"Oh."

"And your eyes have changed too."

"They have?"

"Yea."

"Oh."

"Anyway."

"Naruto, I need to borrow $40 for the ring."

"Then what is the money going to go towards at the end of the bet?"

"It's a surprise."

Yea. I just wanted to add a conversation type thingy between Sasuke and Naruto. Well, I guess this leaves you to wonder what is going to go on in the next chapter huh? Well, I can't say much but what I can say is that if the story goes as planned, there is going to be a sequel. It depends how the ending goes. If it goes according to plan, then the sequel will be planned.

This chapter was seven pages! But its all dialogue. So I can kinda see why. I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can!

Don't forget to leave a review!

Lots of love,

Minako
