Thanks for the lovely reviews! I got home from school and I had just posted the fanfic that morning and I had sixteen new emails. My best friend, Claudia, was on the phone to wish me a happy birthday and I said "Omigawsh!" And she asked me why I said that and told her that I had tons of reviews. She got jealous because she wants to be famous with tons of fans!

On with the story…

…but first the disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything related. I wish I owned Uchiha Sasuke…but sadly, I don't.

"Naruto! For the last time," Sasuke wore an expression of complete rage, "go…to…sleep!" He said the last words slowly as if Naruto could not understand anything.

Sasuke and Naruto were in Sakura's main hall. Sasuke was leaning against the front door while Naruto sat across the room, leaning against Sakura's door. Naruto crossed his arms stubbornly. Sasuke looked like he would stab Naruto with a fork. Both of them glared at each other.

"No," Naruto said simply. He pointed his nose in the air.

"Why not," Sasuke tried to keep his temper. He might wake Sakura if he attempted to strangle Naruto.

"If I fall asleep you'll certainly sneak into Sakura-Chan's room," Naruto put his hands behind his head.

"Why would I do that?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like something you would do."

"I know your secret…you're the stalker!" Naruto pointed a finger at Sasuke. "If you come anywhere close to my Sakura's room I'll-"

Naruto collapsed to the ground. His snores filled the silent air and Sasuke's eye twitched. Naruto had just fallen asleep in the middle of a conversation. Idiot, Sasuke thought silently. He glanced over at Sakura's door and then at the windows and at the front door. If anyone was going to get to Sakura they would have to pass him first.

He thought for a brief moment. What would he do if anyone came after Sakura? Would he really risk everything for a little girl who was obsessed with him? The answer he heard in his head shocked him. Yes, he would risk everything he had for Sakura.

Naruto grunted something about ramen and Sakura-Chan before Sasuke finally decided to try and catch some sleep. He would wake up easily if anything happened…at least he really hoped he would.

Sasuke was only asleep for an hour or two before a small whimper from Sakura's room awoke him. It sounded like she was crying. Sasuke lifted himself and drowsily walked toward the heap on the ground (Naruto).

With his foot, Sasuke rolled Naruto over so he was no longer blocking the path to Sakura's door. Naruto grunted and shifted slightly, landing on Sasuke's foot. Sasuke sighed; Naruto was now hugging Sasuke's leg. Sasuke thought he distinctly heard Naruto mumble 'Sakura-Chan'.

Sasuke pushed him over again and opened the door to Sakura's room slowly. She was whimpering feverishly. Her eyes fluttered open when Sasuke approached her, one hand in his pocket. He pushed a chair closer to her bedside and eyed the open window. Something didn't feel right.

"I had a dream…" Sakura smiled at him. She spoke quietly and her eyes were still closed.

"Hmm." Sasuke responded as if inviting her to tell him the details.

"It was silly. It would never come true." She sighed bitterly to herself.

Sakura was silent for a long time, Sasuke watching her through one open eye. At one point, her hand began to shake. He stood up and swept across the room to the window. He closed it and glared out of it for a short second. There was a glint in the corner of Sasuke's eye, like something running outside the Haruno residence. It would be best to stay in here with her and watch for anything.

Sasuke seated himself again in the chair. Sakura's hand still quivered so he naturally put his hand on top of it. Sleep took over him a few minutes after that. It had, after all been a long night…but the morning wouldn't be any better.

Morning light shone through Sasuke's heavy eyelids. He felt Sakura's hand still under his, it felt cold and shaky. He looked up at the window…it was open. His brow furrowed in puzzlement. He had closed it, hadn't he?

Naruto could've opened it, he thought. He glanced at Sakura's door where Naruto still lay in the same position that he was in the night before. Sasuke looked at Sakura, she still lay unharmed. Maybe Sasuke was imagining things. Maybe.

He strode over to the open window and closed it. When he was turning, he caught sight of a folded piece of paper much like the one he had found the day before.

Sasuke unfolded the paper and growled. In the same untidy scrawl as before it read six words that made his fists clench and his blood boil:

Keep your hands off my Sakura

Sasuke crumpled the paper and ground it under his foot. Someone definitely had their eye on Sakura, but Sasuke wouldn't give her up without a fight.

Later that morning, when Naruto and Sakura had woken up, they stood in the kitchen while Sakura bustled about making tea again. Sasuke felt the piece of paper tucked away in his pocket. He would show Naruto later, but he wouldn't show Sakura. He didn't want to frighten her.

"So, Sasuke, I'd like a word with you." Naruto stared at Sasuke.

"What?" Sasuke said coldly.

"It's just about your late night meeting with Sakura, you liar! You told me you didn't want Sakura-Chan, but you are clearly a liar because you LIED!" Naruto put his fists into balls at his side.

Sakura stopped what she was doing and blushed. "Naruto…what are you talking about?" She knew that Sasuke had come into her room and stayed there for the rest of the night, but she dare not tell Naruto that. He'd think of it as a setup.

"I got up really late to see if you had some ramen because I was hungry since I dreamed about ramen," he stopped for a moment and drooled. "Anyway, I saw Sasuke touching your hand after he said that he didn't want to sneak into your room in the middle of the night. That's why I valiantly guarded it from him for you, Sakura!" Naruto beamed up at Sakura.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sasuke growled. But he looked at Sakura who smiled.

He knew that smile, he would never forget it. And he most definitely wouldn't let anyone else have it, no matter how many threats and notes they left! He would risk everything for a little girl with an innocent smile that was obsessed with him. She just would never know it.

Thanks for reading my second chapter! I edited it a bit from the original (once again, if you've ever read the orginal) Last nightI had a better idea in my head then I originally wrote in this chapter that was sitting, unused, on my desktop so I was anxious to fix it, but it was like 2 in the morning and I couldn't fall back asleep and I decided to paint my toe nails. I painted one toe nail orange before I relized that it was a stupid idea to paint my toes in the middle of the night.So now I have one orange toe nail.

And one more thing - I just turned between 10-14 years old so I re-did my profile. Now's your chance to learn my REAL name before I change my profile yet again. And, no, my real name is not Brielle or Arielle.

and one last, last thing - Someone wanted to know what inspired me to write this and the truth is it's for a video I saw. If you go to YouTube . com and search for the user Himeno or the video 'Sakura Dreamland' you'll find my favorite video in the world. That is why I wrote this story.
