READ! IMPORTANT NEWS! IF YOU DON'T I'LL KILL YOU LIKE LITERALLY!: Okay first of all THANK YOU ALL for reviewing! You all deserve hugs! I love you all, mwah! Okay second, for those ppl who didn't read my comments on either the top or the bottom of my last chapter well let me just tell u again, Sakura and Sasuke are NOT yet couples! They are just going to the prom together and that's it. Text Messaging isn't exactly a big move to me... Sasuke is going to make his big move in this chapter. The one he did last chapter was only a small move. So I hope that you get the situation here. Well enjoy!

Why this fic is rated M? Well because I simply don't want to get my fic band for the site. And it is only rated for language, so don't worry! There won't be any lemons!

Okay one question: Do you guys want me to change my title of the fic? Cuz I agree with one of my reviewers that the title doesn't really fit with the story, since Sasuke was interested in Sakura in Chapter 1. So what do you think?

Chapter 16- I Surrender

"Yo." Kakashi greeted first thing in the morning as he came in the class, "I'm sure you're all very excited about the prom this evening. But let me remind you again that this prom is suppose to be formalso no drugs, fire crackers, stink bombs, pets, jeans, shorts, shirts, runners, cards, board games, and lets not forget cows are not allowed. That would be all." Finished Kakashi.

The rest of the day went on as usual, boring math, torturing history, painful literature, and chaotic science... Finally school ended with the bell and young teens zoomed out to get ready for the prom.

"Hey Sasuke, do you think you could pick me up at Katie's house?" asked Sakura. "Sure. Pick you up at 7:15." He replied simply and slung his backpack over his right shoulder. "Okay then." She said happily and followed him out to the parking lot, even though she has a car of her own now, she still chose to ride with Sasuke.

>>>

"Katie-chan! I agreed on you helping me to get ready for the prom, not a make-over!" Sakura cried.

"Oh, come on! It's not going to be that bad! Pretty please? It'll be fun!" Katie coaxed. But Sakura wouldn't budge. "Oh fine, hmph..." She said sadly but then the sadness got replaced with fiery determination. Whether or not she is going to make Sakura the most prettiest in the prom!

>>>

Sasuke hopped out of his Viper convertible and walked over to Katie's house. Unlike other boys he wasn't nervous at all. In fact he was as calm as ever! As he rang the doorbell, he heard shuffling and whispering behind the door. Suddenly the door opened and out hurledSakura as if somebody had pushed her, which someone really did. Sasuke luckily caught hold of her to prevent her from falling. The door slammed almost immediately behind them.

"Are you..." Sasuke trailed off, right when he saw Sakura for the first time. Her hair was sort of piled up on her head and then tied up in a messy bun. Two clear rods with jewelry dangled at the end. Loose hair fell from her bun at the back and some in the front, framing her face. It was neither too neat nor too messy.

She had on light mike-up that made her look even more elegant and beautiful in a natural way, and wore a strapped light-green dress that went all the way down to the ground. There was a long daring slit on the right side of her dress that went below her hip showing off her leg and her matching green high heel sandals.

Sasuke found that he wasn't the only one staring but also thebeautiful girl right in his arms. Sakura stared at him in awe, she had never met a boy that was so drop-dead gorgeous! He was wearing a black suit that matched his dark hair and eyes. A black tie hung by his loosely buttoned collar.

It was only a few moments when they found themselves staring at each other, and the position they're in. Sasuke still had a protective arm around her that prevented her fall. They instantly cleared their throats and looked away as their cheeks started to color.

Sasuke looked at the sidewalk and noticed some dirt on it, and then he looked at Sakura's sexy dress that was almost trailing the ground. Without a second thought he lifted her up in a bridal style and if someone really did see them they'll really think that they're a bride and a groom.

"S-Sasuke! What are you doing!" She stammered, blushing even more. "What does it look like dummy? I'm carrying you so you won't get your dress dirty." He answered. Immediately Sakura's heart was touched butall the sameit was filled with anger.

"Dummy!" She exclaimed.

Sasuke gently placed her on her seat and hopped back into his. "Yeah, dummy." He smirked, and started the ignition. "I am not a dummy, dummy!" She said hotly, trying to curse him back.

She tore her gaze from Sasuke and looked up at the bright starry sky. "Look Sasuke! The sky is so pretty! Don't you think so?" Sakura asked excitedly, forgetting their previous conversation.

"Hn." Why did I even fall for this dummy that has a short term memory?

They arrived some minutes later and Sakura cheerfully got out of the car. "You're happy today." Sasuke noted. "Uh huh, now let's go already!" She whined and linked her hand with his that has already found its place in the pockets. They saw other couples along the way as they walked to the gymnasium. Once they arrived they looked around the gym that was now decorated. It hardly looked like a gym at all.

"Wow, they really did a good job with this place." She commented.

"Hey Sasuke-bastard! Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto called and went towards them with Hinata beside him. "Whoa, Sakura-chan you look so pretty! And Sasuke-bastard, you look as ugly as always." The blond remarked.

"What...did you say?" Sasuke asked dangerously.

"Yo! See Sakura-chan, I told you that dress would be perfect on you!" Tenten greeted as she and Neji came. Tenten was wearing a strapped blue dress that went up to her knee while Hinata wore a loose tanned cami, with a long white skirt. Neji was wearing almost the exact same thing as Sasuke except his suit and tie were tan. Naruto also wore a black suit, with a red bow instead of a tie.

"So, I see that everyone in this group has arrived, how about a group picture?" Kakashi said out loud, coming towards them. "Sure!" Naruto cried and grabbed a hold of both Sasuke and Neji who were trying to escape. The girls, however, linked their arms together with Sakura in the middle and did the peace sign. They bent down slightly so the camera could see a clearer view of the boys.

'SNAP'

"Alright! We're done! Oh, Sasuke and Neji, this is just a picture." Said Kakashi behind his mask and went away.

"Hinata-chan! I'm hungry; can we eat some refreshments first before we dance?" Naruto asked his girlfriend with puppy eyes. "Hehe, sure Naruto-kun." She said sweetly and they went away.

"Want to dance Neji-kun?" Tenten asked casually, and he replied with a shy nod. "Okay! Great, see yah!" Then Tenten pulled Neji to the dance floor. Just then Sakura and Sasuke noticed just how many people were staring at them. Sakura tightened her hold on Sasuke's arm nervously and tried avoiding her gaze with Sasuke's rabid fan girls.

Sasuke was doing the exact opposite, glaring at boys who were staring at Sakura or boys who is simply glaring at him with jealousy. "Let's dance Sasuke." Sakura suggested. He said nothing and allowed Sakura to pull him through the crowd and onto the dance floor.

Sakura slowly slipped her arms around his neck and locked her eyes on him. Gradually his hands went around her waist and turned his attention to her. They danced slowly in rhythm with the music. For a moment they had forgotten about the stares and the people dancing around them. Their face and body were close, so close as in they were only a few centimeters apart.

Instinctively their face drew closer together as if gravity was pulling them together.

'SNAP'

"Huh!" They gasped, snapping out of their daze. "Aww, how cute! Reminds me of a chapter in Come Come Paradise!" Kakashi said playfully, unnoticing the look of disgust on their faces. "What do you want sensei?" he asked rudely.

"Oh nothing, just taking some pictures for the yearbook here and there. We're also sending students photos with themselves in it over the break. So care to pose?" He asked getting his camera ready. "Okay!" Sakura said excitedly and leaned her head against Sasuke's neck and chin.

"Smile!" said Kakashi and took another picture of them. Sasuke had put on a smirk and was also slightly leaning against Sakura's head. "Okay, thank you. You can now er...go back to whatever you're doing before." He said with a slight pause, and left. They both rolled their eyes and continued dancing with the other couples.

Daringly Sakura placed her head on his shoulder while dancing. She suddenly smelled Sasuke's faint cologne. It smelled so good on him; it made her wonder why she hadn't smelled it before. She turned her head until she was facing his neck so she could breathe in more of his scent.

"You smell nice." She murmured without knowing. Her hot breath tickled his neck but nevertheless he yeaned for more. "You too." He whispered into her ear, enjoying every second of being with her. He breathed slowly drawing more of her faint wildflower scent that seemed to have lured him to heaven.

Once again they were lost in their own world.

>>>

"Oh! Just look at that forehead bitch! Why I oughta..." Ino sneered angrily that she was lost for words. Shikamaru was busy restraining her, "Ino! It's their life! Mind your own business!"

"But Sasuke-kun is my business!" She argued, pulling even harder. Shikamaru needed a way to calm down Ino, and fast! "...Ino, now's not the right time! Besides later if you get into one of those scary cat-fights you'll ruin your dress. Why don't you just enjoy yourself for the time being and take your thoughts off of Sasuke?"

Ino looked at her stunning purple spaghetti strapped dress. "Well...I suppose I could enjoy myself for a while..." She said hesitantly analyzing at what she had just said. Haruno is still going down though. "Okay." She replied suddenly cheerful. Shikamaru was slightly taken aback. Whoa, talk about mood swings. How troublesome. But at least she had calmed down.

"Ino...want...to dance er...with me?"He asked shyly. "Why not!" She quickly pulled him by the hand and started dancing with him, in the back of her mind she couldn't help thinking this was the happiest moment in her life!

>>>

"Burp, sigh... Hinata-chan, I'm full now! Let's dance!" Naruto announced. "O-Okay!" They walked to the dance floor when Naruto suddenly stopped.

"Uh...Hinata-chan I think we have one teensy weensy problem...I don't know how to dance." He stated sheepishly. Hinata could help but sweat drop. "You m-mean to say you've never dance before!"

"Well...I don't know if you count the Egyptian dance as one. But other than that, no. Although I really did rocked the Egyptian dance!" He said proudly. There wasn't anything to be proud of in that statement, but nevertheless Hinata giggled and took him by the hand. "I-I'll teach y-you Naruto-kun."

"Yeah, yeah and after that I'll teach you my famous Egyptian dance!"

>>>

"Whew, you're a really good dancer!" Tenten commented. Neji just shrugged carelessly, "It runs in the family."

"Well let's go eat something; I'm starting to get hungry." She said and went towards the refreshments. They got their food and ate slowly while observing other couples. "Uchiha seems to be enjoying himself." Neji commented. "Hehe, yeah, Sakura-chan too. Haha, is Hinata-chan really teaching Naruto how to dance? Wow, that's unbelievable! I guess dancing really does run in the Hyuuga family!" She giggled.

"Finish up! I have something that I want to show you." He said suddenly. "Huh? What?" She asked curiously. "You'll see." He said mysteriously and waited as she gulped down her punch. He led her into the school building and told her to be patient. They arrived at the rooftop and instantly Tenten gasped.

"Pretty isn't it?"

"Wow, the moon is so big! And the stars!..." She whispered in awe. His hands wrapped around her and he quietly whispered into her ear.

"Let me... show you the moonlight dance..."

>>>

Sakura sat down and drank the punch that Sasuke had gotten for her. He too was drinking a glass of punch and sat down beside her. They watched the others in silence. Ino looked like she's enjoying the dance with Shikamaru.

"Oh Sakura-chan! You look absolutely dazzling tonight! Care to dance?" a voice spoke out.

"Huh? Oh Lee!" Sakura said a loud, looking at the thick eye browed man. She had seen him earlier with another girl that she didn't recognize. Sakura assumed that the girl must've gone to eat or do something else.

"What was it that you asked earlier?" she asked.

"Can you dance with me just for this song?" He repeated nervously. "Sure! You don't mind right Sasuke?" She said turning over to thehandsome man. Of course I mind! His mind yelled. He was going to say something nasty when Kakashi pulled him away.

"He doesn't mind! Go ahead and dance with Lee!" he answered for him. Sakura smiled and went away with Lee.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" heasked coldly, barely controlling his anger. Kakashi paid no heed to him and called Ino over who just finished her dance with Shikamaru.

"Yes Kakashi-sensei?" she said sweetly.

"Why don't you and Sasuke dance for this round. You two have nothing to do anyways."

"You mean for real!" Ino cried in disbelief, her eyes sparkled with glee.

"What! How...How could you! I thought you were on my side!" Sasuke exclaimed angrily.

I am...

"You know I could just tell HIM of you know who, and about the time when that person went to stay over at your house or the time where you two got locked up in that steamed...yes Sasuke I know everything. From that food fight to well...everything--So do it or else." He warned.

"Kakashi-sensei what are you talking about? I'm confused."Ino groaned. "Never mind, lets just get this over with. Hope your happy old man." Sasuke saidicily and went to dance unwillingly with Ino.

"Very happy indeed..." Kakashi said to himself. Everything was working perfectly according to plan! Sasuke will be jealous of Lee and Sakura will be jealous of Ino. What's more better than two people getting jealous at each other? Mwahahaha, Come Come Paradise rules again! I am SUCH a genius, not to mention nice, handsome, and an excellent matchmaker as well as a teacher. And its all because of the oh so holy Come Come Paradise! All hail the Come Come Paradise! PS. Also all hail Jaraiya-sama!

Sakura looked for Sasuke over Lee's shoulder. Strange though he wasn't at where he was sitting before and he isn't where Kakashi is. Where could he be? She looked around a bit searching for a tall spiked haired man. At last she found him, and he was with-with...INO! Ino had two arms around him and looked like she was hugging or stranglinghim! Sasuke's face was blank and placed his hands around her waist carelessly and lamely.

Just thena new feeling enveloped her, she had never felt it before and felt odd. Then she realized the new feeling were simply, jealousy!

In her opinion Ino was way, way, WAY too close to him.

Inner Sakura: The nerve of her!

She's his fiancé, mind your own business!

Inner Sakura: I don't care! How dare she!

You are NOT his fiancé so stop minding other people's business!

Inner Sakura: Wait till I squash Miss Piggy over there...

STOP MINDING OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS!

Inner Sakura: Ah, I am going to kill her!

I said stop minding other people's fucking business damn it!

Inner Sakura: Gr...I can list one hundred ways to kill her! Kill, Burn, Roast, Stab, Punch...

"Sakura-chan!" Lee called, Sakura quickly snapped back into reality and looked at him. "Are you okay Sakura-can? You've seem a little bit distracted."

Sakura flashed him a sweet flirtacious smile, "Its nothing."

Lee nodded unsurely and continued the dance. When the dance was over, Sakura politely excused herself and stormed outside. What's wrong with me? Why do I feel jealous of Ino? Sakura asked herself those questions over and over again not realizing she was about to fall into the school's swimming pool.

She gave a startled yelp as two strong hands pulled her back. "Dummy..." Sasuke muttered with a smirk.

"Who are you calling a-a dummy!" She demanded and calmed down when she saw him.

"You." He said playfully, slightly tightening his hands on her. He couldn't help but feel a little bit happy that Lee's hands were off her. "I am not a dummy." She retorted.

"Yes you are and I have something for you." He said coolly, Sakura eyed him with curiosity and suspicion. "This better not be stale chocolate or a prank!"

"Don't worry, now just close your eyes!" he said impatiently and waited. She looked at him for a long minute and closed her eyes. She heard shuffling, and then Sasuke told her to open her eyes. As she moved she felt something resting against her upper chest. She looked down and saw the most dazzling necklace she had ever seen in her life.

It was an outline of a heart made with silver, andwas hallow in the inside. There were little pink crystals in a shape of a cherry blossom inside the heart that can turn 360 degrees.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"Y-Yes, it's beautiful. B-But why me?" Sakura suddenly felt cold and shivered in the chilly night. Sasuke seeing this, took off his formal jacket and slipped it around her shoulders, "Because I want you to be mine." He replied simply.

"I-I..." She felt herself moving closer to him uncontrollably.

Inner Sakura: Go get him girl! You know you want this for a very long time!

What are you doing! He already has a fiancé!

Inner Sakura: Shut up! Who the hell cares! Go on, kiss him!

His family will hate you! Stop while you have a chance!

Inner Sakura: Will you just shut up? Who cares about little Miss Piggy! C'mon, you know you want it!

But-

Inner Sakura: Lalala, I can't hear you! Kiss him already!

They-

Inner Sakura: LalaLA! Still can't hear you! You know you want to!

I-Oh fine...I give up!

Their lips met and they kissed. Sakura slowly closed her eyes and allowed herself to wrap her hands around him. They continued, hungry for more as if they were addicted to drug. It wasn't a truth or dare kiss nor it was a kiss by accident. No, this time it was a true kiss. Sasuke pulled her closer to him not wanting to let go.

"I surrender." She muttered against his lips happily. She doesn't care anymore about Ino, Sasuke was hers now. And that's all that matters. Sasuke grined and entered his tongue into her mouth, playing with hers.

Minutes passed, and they finally broke apart. They sat by the pool with Sakura on Sasuke's lap. She leaned her head against his neck and stroked her new necklace.

"Oh Idon't think I've told you thisbut I think you look beautiful tonight..." said Sasuke. "You look good too." She replied.

"You look beautiful...for a dummy." He finished with a smirk, kissed her quickly on the lips once more, and "accidentally" pushedher into the pool. Sakura gasped for air and screamed with furry, "Uchiha Sasuke! I am so going to kill you! You know how much this dress cost me! You can just die! JERK!"

"It was an accident! By the way you lost the war!" He laughed and ducked to avoid splashing water.


Well like it? Too much OOC? Well at least they're a couple now. Oh and about the rating, I might change it back, but do you thinkit could get my story band because of all the swearing? And about updating this story, it's going to take a long time for me to update once in a while, cuz now I'm starting to go to this new school in Taiwan. It's really fun here but I have a lot of homework and tests. Hope you understand.

One more thing, I would like to tell you that Ino is one of my favorite characters, but she will be really mean in the next chapter. So just giving you the heads up. But like I said every so often, she is going to turn good and even help Sakura through hard times. So after the next chapter give her a chance to redeem herself.
