Yay, yet another chapter from me! The little potato head, RACHEL! Man, I have these insane eating patterns at the moment. Well it's not really a pattern, it's more like what I eat. I mean, I've been eating a lot of chips, candy, chocolate…you name it if it's junk crap.

Thanks for all your reviews guys! Er about the comment stuff, I don't think I'll reply to them one by one but more like into one big smooshed paragraph. There was one thing that might have confused some people about last chapter. When I said I didn't like how this turned out, I meant the chapter not the story. Sorry for the confusion! I guess I forgot to type on chapter. Lol I remember there was one review who said something about the Emily Rose thing. When I read that review, it freaked the heck out of me. Lol I watched the movie too but it wasn't that scary. It was just her possessed voice that was disturbing. And when I read the review it brought back those images of her dead and eating bugs. –dies-

A lot of people said they liked the fluff parts, thank you! I kind of got stuck with it…trying hard not to make it so sudden. But I think I failed at the sudden part. T.T Another one said my grammar and stuff was good. Thanks about that too. I've found the light and I edit my stuff. Lol Turns out I have a lot of typos at times, but they seem less frequent nowadays.

Like I said, I'll have to work my tiny little bum off to finish this because I'm very eager to add a little more to it. I guess you could say a sequel. WOOHOO! I hope it'll be good!

Start of second semester. I have all hard subjects except of Info Tech. This might mean I won't be able to update my other stories often because updating one is hard and having these ideas comes out rarely now. Makes me sad. GAH WHAT'S HAPPENEING TO MY BRAINNNN! B-R-A-I-N! Aha I was going to spell out Brian. Lol Which reminds me, one time in grade seven or eight we had this science field trip. We had to wear name tags, my friend Brian was in my class at the time, the teacher spelled his name wrong and his tag read "Brain". Oh my, what a fit of laughter I went into. Poor him, he had to wear the tag with "Brain" because there weren't any extras left.

Wow my French skills suck. For a second in French class today I thought mardi (means Tuesday) was March so I screamed out the answer. Stupid move man. I'm having a little trouble on how to get Sakura and Sasuke together without making it too rushed. So hard, but I'll think of it. Hopefully…

Any who, enough of my ranting. Be shocked by the fluffy goodness of mushyness in these next two chapters! Or maybe just the next chapter. xD You know what's coming up! Valentines Day! A two part chapter to celebrate this special day for all those love birds! Yay!

Disclaimer: What? What made you think I owned Naruto? If I did surely the world would have already ended and I was declared god! Which will never happen…


Love is in the Air Part I

Can you smell it? I can. The smell of the sweet aroma of romance blooming. The smell of sweet innocent couples confessing their love to each other. How sweet don't you agree? But there's one teensy weensy problem. Some people are just too dense to notice this. Like who? Sasuke.

"SASUKE! GO TO THE DANCE WITH ME?"

"SASUKE YOU'RE SO COOL!"

"I LOVE YOU! GO OUT WITH ME?"

Sasuke slammed his pretty face on his desk with a loud -squish-...Squish? Okay whatever...Shikamaru and the others gave him an odd look. With a sigh he looked up at them and groaned again when the screaming fan girls erupted in shrieks and hollers like little banshees wailing like no tomorrow.

"Wow…they've taken obsession to the next step." Naruto said as he looked at them in awe.

Apparently they were fighting over a strand of hair that was supposedly supposed to be Sasuke's. But in reality it was actually a broken antenna of a cockroach. Gross much?

"I hate this time of year. I swear!" he gritted out in annoyance.

"What's provoking them?" Sakura asked a bit confused.

They all looked at her in shock. Did she not know what time of the year it was?

"Earth to Sakura! Don't you know what week this is?" Ino questioned her friend in disbelief.

"Ino, lay off her. She's still kind of new to this…I think…" Shikamaru said to the blonde girl thoughtfully.

"But it's kind of obvious no?"

Neji sighed at them and then spoke up.

"Valentines Day."

Who knew that two simple words would cause so much havoc in the world. Sasuke rolled his eyes and gave an annoyed scowl.

"Say that word again and die. D-I-E DIE!"

They all winced. He sure had this odd hatred towards this special holiday. But who could blame him?

"What happens on the week?" Sakura asked again.

Sasuke banged his head on the desk again and the others slapped their hands to their foreheads.

"Listen up and listen up good forehead girl!" Ino said to her sternly.

"Hey don't call me that pig!"

"Just listen!"

"On the week of Valentines Day, our dear Sasuke is pestered by his rabid with rabies fan girls. This includes the usual declaration of their love to him, asking him to take them out, and cat fights of who will win his heart etcetera." Hinata explained.

Sakura looked at them and yawned.

"But more than usual." added Tenten.

"With 100 percent more fighting goodness!" Neji said with a ping to his teeth which is very out of character for him!

"Is that it?"

They looked at her dumbfounded.

"Whatever, I'll just get back to my book. You guys can go talk about it."

They looked at her again.

"Well, at least she's not asking questions anymore." Tenten said.

"You know what?" Naruto spoke aloud.

"What?"

"Maybe we could solve Sasuke's fan girl problem this year."

"How? Even if he doesn't go, those losers still try and persuade him into going." Neji pointed out.

"We were an odd number back then remember?" Naruto snickered mischievously.

"Ohhh! I think I know where this is going!" squealed Tenten.

"So what's your plan Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.

"What plan? What are you talking about again?"

They sweat dropped. His attention span was as much as a fly's.

"You're idea on getting his stupidbanshees away moron." Neji said in a dead pan voice.

"Oh yeah that! And I am NOT a moron!"

With the words "getting" "die" "banshees/fan girls" and "away" Sasuke's head immediately shot up like a spring toy.

"They're going to die? YES!" Sasuke laughed manically.

"What is he talking about…" Ino said slowly a bit creeped out.

"He's mistaking our words with his own thoughts." Shikamaru told them.

"We're going to help you drive away those fan girls Uchiha."

"How so?"

With that, Naruto jumped and whispered his plan to them.

Sasuke's eyes widened. The girls smiled and nodded. Shikamaru just said his usual "whatever" and Neji was stoic as ever.

"Oh hellll no!" Sasuke shouted.

"There's no way in hell am I going!"

"Well it's better than being pestered." Tenten said with her eyes twinkling.

"Plus if they see you with someone, they'll surely back off." added Ino.

Sasuke considered this for a while.

"No."

"Aww come on!" whined Naruto.

"There are eight of us now, so it'll be fine." Hinata pointed out.

"No."

"Suck it up Uchiha. Which is better, being raped or just going there without being possibly touched."

Oh that hit a cord. Sasuke did not want to be raped. Especially by those things called girls.

"Fine." he muttered.

"Good! Now all we have to do is tell Sakura!" Naruto cheerfully said.

"Oh boy." Shikamaru said quietly under his breath.


"Tell me again why I'm doing this?"

"So you can protect Sasuke from his groupies and have a good time!" Tenten told her.

Sakura scowled.

"Besides, it's no fun if you go alone to a dance right?"

Sakura sighed.

"I guess your right Hinata."

At the moment Sakura, Tenten and Hinata were on the phone doing a three-way.

"What time do you have to be there at anyways?" Tenten asked her.

"At 7 I think…"

"Sakura shouldn't you be going now? It's already 6:50." Hinata spoke up.

"Are you serious?" Sakura nearly screamed into her cell phone.

"Ow, ow, ow." Tenten said over and over again.

"Please warn us when you're going to do that Sakura!"

"Sorry Hinata, Tenten! But I really have to go! Bye!"

With that she flipped her phone shut and stuffed it into her pocket. In a rush she dashed out of the house and ran straight towards where the Uchiha's resided. Half way through she checked her watch.

"Crap. I'll just have to run faster then!"

After what seemed like ages, she finally managed to reach the house, out of breath but still at the house. Slowly she staggered towards the door panting and rang the bell. She waited there for a minute or so. When she was about to ring it again, the door opened revealing a very good looking Sasuke.

Oh him wearing all black just made himself look even cuter than ever. His black turtle neck and black jeans. Sakura had to keep herself from drowning in her own drool…kind of gross when you think about it…

Seeing him she straightened up right away and began to smooth out the wrinkles in her clothes.

"Running late?" the Uchiha grinned.

"Shut up." Sakura said returning his grin.

"Come in, I'll just be a minute. Need to get something first."

Sakura nodded and headed inside of his home, following from behind.

"Wait here." he instructed.

With another nod, he walked up the stairs going up every other step. Humming to herself, Sakura wandered around the main hallway, stopping to look at the framed pictures, pieces of furniture and other décor. While looking at the pictures, she found herself staring at a particular one. She didn't seem to see it anywhere before in his home. This one was framed in a simple silver border.

Gently she picked it up and observed each person in the photograph. One was an older woman who looked to be in her mid thirties. Her raven hair reached her back and her black eyes sparkled with happiness. Sakura trailed her eyes on the arm that was around the woman's shoulder. His face was stern but held a content expression of happiness. His hair was also raven coloured. Lines as though showing weariness were under his eyes.

Her eyes then wandered down to the other two in the picture. One she picked out as Sasuke. He was showing a small hint of a smile and looked about to be in his younger teen years. (I guess about thirteen.) Next to him was a similar looking boy. Almost like his mirror reflection. But this one was older, much older. He too had lines under his eyes but they were not through weariness…but just there. The boy was holding a slight smirk and smile. Though it was quite hard to tell if it was either one.

After looking at the photograph for a few more minutes she set it back down to where it originally was. When she placed it back down she felt a presence behind her.

"Sasuke you're ready…now…" she said as she turned around finding herself face to face with the mirror reflection of the young boy.

"It's been quite a while since we've seen each other hasn't it?"

Sakura was speechless. She didn't know what to say. This was the man before her that almost tried to kiss her! (See chapter 4)

"Hm? Nothing to say after how long we've not seen each other?"

Sakura snapped out of her little daze and glared at him.

"I have nothing to say to someone like you." she sneered.

"Oh why the cold and harsh words?"

"Just leave me alone!"

Sakura looked straight into his eyes, noticing his smirk. Her eyes widened a bit when he started to advance towards her.

"W-what are you doing?" she questioned him, starting to panic a little.

His smirk grew wider as her back hit the wall. Sakura wanted to get away, but she was trapped. No way out.

"Hm such a shame Sasuke hasn't even done anything yet."

"What do you mean."

His towering figure hovered over her small one. He bent towards her, leaning his head closer to her face. She felt his hot breath on her skin making her shiver.

"P-please stop Itachi." she stuttered out.

Her scent overwhelmed his senses. Sweet like strawberries with a mix of fresh autumn air. (Is that a scent? xD) It was almost pure. No…not almost, it was pure.

Itachi chuckled. He was going to have fun with his little brother's so called friend or so his own new play thing. Itachi lifted his head higher and their lips were just a mere millimeter apart. Softly he brushed his own lips on hers.

Sakura's eyes widened even bigger.

My first kiss…

With that, Itachi pressed his lips again on hers but this time harder. (Ahh ItaSaku lovee!) His kiss was hard and bruising. The girl he was ravaging didn't know what to do. But she felt like melting into his arms even though it was wrong.

His tongue swept across her bottom lip, wanting access into her mouth. Sakura kept her mouth shut, but only opened it when she felt him bite on her bottom lip. His tongue entered her mouth in a swift motion. It explored the walls of her cavern (I couldn't think of anything besides mouth…T.T) and played around until he pulled away letting her breathe.

Again he smirked. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was heavy.

"I presume you liked that?" he whispered in her ear.

Her eyes snapped open and she blushed a bit.

"Just get off of me!" she snapped. Placing her hands on his chest, she pushed him away. Or at least tried too. He began to place kisses on her neck making her shiver and feel unexplainable pleasures. She could feel him sucking and nipping her delicate skin, making her almost want to moan. But before she could a voice angrily beat her to it.

"What are you doing to her!"

This was her chance. Immediately she shoved Itachi off her.

"S-Sasuke!"

Her voice was shaky and more high pitched than usual showing her nervousness.

"I was just…having fun…" his dear older brother drawled out with a slight smile on his lips.

"Don't touch her you bastard!" the younger Uchiha seethed.

"I already did." the other answered simply.

"I-I…" Sakura seemed to stutter out.

"Don't you dare touch the things that belong to me."

"Since when did she ever belong to you?"

A wider smile adorned Itachi's face. A small chuckle of amusement was heard as he headed out of the hallway.

Sasuke was silent but continued to glare at his brother.

"Sasuke…" a small quiet voice called out to him.

"We should go now…"

He looked at her and began to head towards to doorway. Sakura stood there dumbfounded.

What just happened…

The whole situation just replayed in her mind. She shivered a bit remembering how Itachi had kissed her and was shocked about how Sasuke some how claimed her as his.

"Are you coming or not." his cold voice called out to her.

Sakura immediately walked towards the boy and both exited the area.


As they approached the school from the parking lot, the loud music could be heard booming. The wind blew Sakura's hair around, whipping it all over the place.

"Thank god I wore these jeans." she muttered.

The ride to the school was a silent one. A very uncomfortable silence to be exact. It had made Sakura very nervous. What was Sasuke thinking. What did he think about the incident. It was driving her crazy!

So she had decided once they were in the open air she would confront him and ask.

Here she was, open air!

Okay. Breathe in and out, in and out! You can do this Sakura. Just ask him!

"Sa-"

"Pretend it never happened."

"Wha?"

Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Let's just pretend it never happened."

"Uh…sure?"

Again Sasuke rolled his eyes but this time smiled a bit.

"Come on let's go." With that, he offered her his arm.

Sakura looked at him in confusion.

Isn't he mad?

It was as if he had read her mind or something because he looked at her again and told her,

"No I'm not mad. Now come on."

Smiling a bit she took his out stretched arm and both headed inside the gym.

As they entered the gym, people began to look at them. Murmurs and whispers were going traveling through the area about the both of them together. Sasuke smirked in triumph to the girls who were giving the pink haired girl malicious glares.

Ha! Take that you bitches! Maybe that idiots plan really will work!

"Jeez, about time you both arrived." Naruto said to them as they walked closer towards the table where the others were seated.

"Hn."

"Ah, sorry! We just kind of…got held back."

"It's alright. You didn't miss much anyways." Hinata piped up.

"Ha! See bastard, it worked! They're staying away from you now!" grinned Naruto.

"Yeah, yeah. Shut-up."

"He just won't admit defeat." sighed Neji.

Tenten giggled and snuggled into the arms of the coffee haired boy. He openly let her do it but raised an eyebrow.

"So what is it this time?"

"Aw, can't a girl friend just cuddle with her boy friend?"

Neji's eye brow twitched.

"Seriously."

"Dance with me. I've already requested a song."

"I don't dance."

"But Neji! Please? It's only once a year! Besides no one can see you dance, it's so dark!" she pouted cutely.

Don't look at her eyes. Don't look at her eyes. DON'T LOOK AT HER EYES!

All of them were looking at the pair with interest.

"I give him two seconds."

"Nah, not even."

Silence…

"AGGHHH I LOOKED IN HER EYES DAMMIT!"

"He looked."

Poor Neji, being dragged to the dance floor with a happy Tenten. A slow song had begun playing. Couples and other people began to pair off.

"Shikamaru…"

"No Ino."

"Aw come on!"

"No."

"You're no fun!"

"I know."

"Fine! I'll just ask someone else then!"

Just in time because a boy by the name of Keitaro had just happened to come by. Who could resist such a pretty girl? So of course he went over to ask the blonde haired girl to dance and she happily accepted.

Shikamaru didn't care. Of course he didn't. It was Ino, he would never in a million years dance with her even though she's pretty…cute…and….

"STUPID BRAIN!" he shouted and whacked his head with his fists.

Without knowing, he looked over to where Ino was and saw that she was awfully close to the other boy.

"I am not jealous. I am not jealous." he kept repeating over and over again but his blood seemed to boil even more.

"Uh…Hinata, how about you and me take the dance floor before this guy explodes."

Hinata nodded and took the blonde boy's hand.

Shikamaru was now at the edge of his seat, wanting to tear apart the guy limb from limb.

"Look at the way he's holding her like that. Him trying to get her closer…him trying to grab her ass…"

It dawned on him now.

"Wait a minute? GRAB HER ASS?"

OMFGWTFBBQ? NO ONE DOES THAT TO INO!

Like a speeding bullet he whisked away through the floor towards the ass grabbing freako.

While Shikamaru was doing that Ino was having a great time with the guy…until…

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Very soft…"

Her blue eyes widened and then turned into slits.

"Why you…" As she was about to punch him away, another fist made it there first.

"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU FREAK!"

"Huh?" Ino blinked a few times.

Poor guy…knocked out…man he's weak. Whatever.

"Shikamaru?"

"Who do you think it is, pig."

"H-Hey! You can't call me that!"

He smirked at her.

"Besides what are you doing here, I thought you didn't want to dance." she snapped, crossing her arms in front of her chest looking away.

"Saving you from that pervert."

"I didn't need saving! I was fine just by myself!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and then…

"Hey what are you doing! Let me go!"

The boy had grabbed Ino by the waist and pulled her towards himself. Once in his arms he began to move around.

"Dancing with you, you idiot. What's it look like?"

Ino blushed prettily and said nothing.

"Heh, thought so."

While the others were dancing, Sakura and Sasuke were having fun doing the opposite. Both of them had begun to talk about random things, which resulted in hysterical laughter. Sakura would be giving Sasuke her sweet smiles and little gestures and in return, his little smirks. I guess you could say it was their way of flirting with each other.

But as they were doing that, a few people at the dance were quite riled up at the site.

"Look at that little bitch, flirting with our Sasuke!" exclaimed one girl.

"God, look at her. What a stupid slut!" agreed another.

Finally the last one snorted.

The three girls were jealous. Yes jealous. Sasuke had never in the history of their school done that with any girl. Or so it seemed.

"She's a witch I tell you."

"She cast a spell on him."

"I bet you she blackmailed him on doing this."

The three sneered and continued cursing and bashing the girl as if she had done them wrong.

"You know what?"

"What is it?"

"We can make her stay away from our dear Sasuke."

"Better yet, drive her out of here. She never belonged here in the first place!"

"Heh, what a great idea! Instead of just one, why not both."

"Oh what fun that'll be!"

The three cackled and howled with laughter. People around them gave them odd looks.

"What are you looking at dick face!" one snapped.

The rest just walked away from them, talking amongst themselves about how crazy the girls were.

"Yes, not only that. Why don't we ruin her night."

"Good. Then it's settled."

"We'll get that little bitch for good."


Dun, dun, dun! Maybe that was a bad cliffie…was that even a cliffie? Makes me wonder how I'm getting past English without knowing if it's a cliffhanger or not. Lol

I promised! Earlier update this time! I'm thinking about maybe four or five more chapters into this. I'll probably have decided by the next update, which maybe next week unless I get grounded from my report card. Let's just hope I don't!

Hope you like this chapter! Please don't hate me for putting in that ItaSaku part in there…though it wasn't really ItaSaku because SAKURA DOESN'T LIKE HIM! Oh yeah, anybody want to help me choose a song for the next chapter? Like a jap. one? I want to use Yuki no Hana by Mika Nakashima but I'm not sure it'll match or not. Or maybe Moments by Ayumi Hamasaki. I need your opinions. Thanks!

I think I'm getting overly hyper… Until next time!

The girl who just never stopped talking in the first part of the author's notes and it probably took up about a page and oh my god why the heck is this little thing what's it called that thing before you put your name so very frickin long,
