Thanks! Happy that I continued? Some of you asked why Sasuke's parents accepted Sakura as his girlfriend since she is poor to their standard. Well, actually Sasuke's parents don't know that he has a girlfriend. That's why Kakashi threatened to tell his parents about Sakura at the prom.
Thanks for the constructive criticisms to all! I'll try my best and work on my dialogues!
About the title almost everybody chose "Problems of Loving You", but a new problem has arisen. Now people are telling me to not change my title. Of course this is my fic and I can decided whatever I want, but I won't change it for now. I don't know maybe more people will tell me to change it once they read it in the future chaps or not change it. I honest don't care. I'm bad with titles anyway.
Chapter 18- Girl Power!
A soccer ball flew in the air and made contact with a person's feet that belonged to Naruto. He ran across the field and kicked it to Sasuke as Tenten ran for it. It was girls against boys; Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten vs. Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji.
Neji and Hinata were goalies while the others are offense. It was a pretty uneven team since Sakura and Hinata weren't soccer players, but they'll manage somehow. After all they are girls, and you can't contradict with girl power.
They decided to play a game of soccer on a bored, hot summer morning in mid July. And right now the score was 8-7 for the boys.
"Sakura-chan go get Sasuke! He's coming towards you!" Tenten shouted a warning and checked Naruto in place preventing him from doing anymore soccer moves.
Sakura didn't know what to do; she wasn't a soccer player like Tenten but a volleyball player. How the heck is she going to steal the ball from her boyfriend that is talented in every single sport?
She thought frantically and an idea clicked to her. Her lips formed into a smirk and got ready to face Sasuke. What will he chose?
Sasuke saw the evil smirk on her lips and wondered what she had in mind, its not like he's scared or anything.
Instead of running to him for the ball, Sakura ran towards the goal post where Hinata is. Tenten, Naruto, and Neji just stood there, curiously observing her actions.
Sasuke got closer to the opposite end and got ready to kick but stopped right in the middle. Sakura was right in front of the net which means if he kicks the ball, the ball will hit her, and couples just don't do that. (AN: The net is small, mind you.)
That sly dummy! Sasuke cursed in his mind.
It was a no win situation, if he hurt her then he is dead meat! I mean literally dead. And if he doesn't score the goal they will lose the game, which is bad for a boy. It was a no win situation.
Sakura's smirk grew wider as Tenten quickly dashed forward and stole the ball from the distracted Uchiha. Regaining his composure he chased after her but got pulled back, because Sakura had wildly jumped on his back to stop him.
Go girl Power!
Girls will always triumph in the end! (Sorry guys.)
"Ahh!" Sasuke gave out a cry.
"Ha! You're not getting away this easily! Although I have to give you credit for not kicking the ball, smart move. You would've been soo dead if you did!" Sakura commented, clinging on him tightly.
"Foul! This is such a foul! Get off Sakura!" Sasuke growled. After many attempts of trying to pry her off, he finally gave up. When did girls became so "Clingy"? He decided to try a little reverse psychology to see if it will work, and sure enough it did.
"Hey, put me down! PUT ME DOWN!" Sakura screamed trying to push him away from her.
"I thought you want to cling to me and hug me forever!" He teased, adding a little spice of sarcasm to it.
"Why you little….JERK"
1 or 2 hours later…12 o-clock or 1 o-clock later….
The girls won in the end due to the fact that men just can't hurt women. They sighed as the girls cheered in triumph.

"Let's go shopping Sasuke!" Sakura chirped. The others had left to do their business and the only people left were Sakura and Sasuke.
"No way am I going to go shopping!" Sasuke rejected.
"Aww pretty please!" Sakura begged tugging his sleeves, with her irresistible puppy eyes.
"No! I am not doing it again! Last time was horrible enough!"
"But that was GROCERY shopping not CLOTHES shopping!" she whined.
"Making me go and buy vegetables was torture and now you want me to go and BUY CLOTHES WITH YOU!" He cried incredulously.
"It's clothes not vegetables this time! Besides you don't have to buy anything. Pretty please! I'm getting tired of my old clothes!" She whined even more like a baby.
"You're getting tired of your clothes? But oh god! You have like at least a hundred set of them! And you want more! Why are girls always not satisfied with the clothes they where!" He complained as if he was talking to god himself.
"Just 2 more sets, that's it! And there's this really awesome skirt that I want to buy!" She coaxed.
"No! Why do I have to go with you? Go with Hinata and the others!" He said impatiently, shopping does not go well with his reputation.
"But I want to go with you!" She said sweetly.
"With me?" he repeated.
"Yes you!"
"…"
"No." he finally answered, there is no way that this girl no matter who she is, is going to make him go shopping. Sakura gave him the puppy eyes again, but still he shook his head.
"Grr…you leave me with no choice, Sasuke! If you don't come with me, I'll-I'll DRIVE YOUR CAR!"
That statement hit Sasuke pretty hard and he froze cursing himself for giving his car keys to Sakura earlier. He didn't feel like putting them in his pockets so he gave it to Sakura to put in her purse.
An image of Sakura driving his beloved convertible and smashing it against the wall, drove through his mind. "Evil dummy! Aargh, I'll go okay! Happy now!" He said with frustration, raking through his messy hair.
"Hell yeah! Girl power!" She cried, punching her fist in the air and went to grab her 'Chanel' purse. "Here yah go!" Sakura said cheerfully tossing the key to him. Sasuke grumbled and started the ignition.
They arrived at the biggest mall in Konoha that was said to have 1999 shops and 1 ramen restaurant.
"Let's get a move on!" Sakura urged pulling Sasuke into the mall. "Hurry, hurry! The skirt maybe taken by now!"
Sasuke groaned as he ran after her.
>>>
"What! Somebody bought the last one! Nooo!" Sakura cried in despair and sulked on Sasuke's shoulder.
Inner Sakura: Damn that person whoever bought the last one!
Sasuke patted her back like a good boyfriend should and felt kind of uncomfortable at people who were staring at them. It's just a piece of clothing! Sigh…I could never understand girls…
The sales person sweat dropped, and looked at Sakura apologetically, but then her face suddenly brightened. "Miss, wait a sec. I think we may just have one more." She said politely and dashed off to the storage room.
Sakura lifted her head up hopefully and waited for her. Her face lit up as she saw the light pink skirt, and she hugged Sasuke in delight. "Yay! I am so lucky! Hell yeah!" she cried.
"This one was too small for all our customers so we had to put it away. But by the looks of your body, I'm pretty sure it can fit you." She said. Sasuke looked at his girlfriend's body and blushed lightly; she really does have a dynamite body.
"Okay, now I need to look for a blue tank top and a black light jacket!" she said excitedly.
"We have just what you need. Please come with me Miss." The saleslady beckoned.
"Sasuke, wait here! I'll come back in a minute." She said and went off with the lady. Sasuke waited, slightly annoyed with himself for agreeing to go with her to shopping, and more annoyed with the people that are staring, blushing, and whispering about him. Sigh...but his beloved Viper Convertible was at stake! Never knew girlfriends can be so dangerous.
He leaned against the wall coolly and got out his cell phone and started playing a game, hoping the annoyance will go away.
"Ta dah!" somebody interrupted him, and he looked up and saw Sakura dressed in the clothes that she had just picked out.
"Weelll? How do I look?" she asked.
"…You look…okay." He said slowly, but on the inside, he thought she looked down right sexy and cute with her jacket halfway zipped.
A vein pooped appeared on her forehead, "Okay! Just okay!"
"Hey! Aren't you Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke's girlfriend! Oh my god and your UCHIHA SASUKE! I knew you guys looked familiar!" The saleslady exclaimed suddenly interrupting them.
"Wow…I never thought I'll be selling clothes to you! My daughter is so jealous of you but I'm sure she'll be okay." The lady said brightly to Sakura.
"Yeah, that's good to hear." Sakura said bitterly, "Could you…er…wrap these up for me now?"
"Sure!"
Sakura quickly changed back to her original clothes and handed the new ones to her.
"Here, I'll pay for it." Sasuke offered and gave the lady his platinum plus credit card.
"No Sasuke! You don't have to do that!" said Sakura, who was blushing in bright red.
"It's okay."
"Really?" She asked and he nodded in reply. "Wow! Thanks Sasuke! You're the best!" she sang and hugged him hard.
They walked out of the shop and decided to buy a drink and rest for a while. They both ordered ice cappuccino slushie and sat by a water fountain.
"Hey Sasuke, can I ask you a question?" Sakura asked.
"Hn."
"What do you like?"
Sasuke almost chocked on his drink. Where did that question come from!
"Uh, why do you want to know?"
"Because, I don't know what to give you for your birthday. Oh yeah, when is your birthday?" She added, mentally slapping herself. Duh if she wants to give a birthday gift to him, you have to know his birthday first!
"Hn." Sasuke thought for a while.
"Well?"
"Uh…"
"Uh huh, so what do you like?"
"Um…"
"Yeah?"
"Ummm…"
"Just answer already!"
"Umm…I don't know." He answered finally; he really didn't know what he likes.
Sakura sweat dropped, "You thought that long and you still haven't thought of anything! Gosh and your calling me a dummy."
"Well you are a dummy. I just can't answer you because there isn't anything that I really like."
"But-" She cut herself off as she heard somebody hiss the words 'Pink Hair.' Both she and Sasuke turned to see who had said that.
"Oh my god! Everyone its UCHIHA SASUKE! And that's Haruno Sakura! The one that stole him!" a girl yelled. Everybody in the mall froze and looked at them. Quickly absorbing the scene in front of them, all girls suddenly stopped what they're doing and ran in their direction.
Sasuke quickly grabbed Sakura and dashed off.
"Sasuke! Please be mine!"
"Leave her!"
They ran their butt off, and ran outside hiding behind a tree. "Sakura lets go somewhere else." Sasuke hissed in a low whisper.
"What! No, I am not going until I get 1 more set of clothing!" she hissed back.
"Dummy! Do you want to get killed!"
"I don't care!" shewhispered stubbornly.
"You are so stubborn!" he cried in frustration.
"Bite me." She said hotly, giving him the evil eye.
"You know what! I'm on the verge to! God, I'll do anything to make you change your mind!" he said loudly.
"Sicko!"
"Dummy!"
"Jerk!"
"Sick minded!"
"Grandpa!"
"Grandma!"
"Stupid!"
"Annoying!"
"I'm going no matter what!" she said with determination.
"You are such a pain in the ass!"
"So, does that mean you'll go with me?" she asked hopefully.
"Does it look like I have a choice?" he said with sarcasm.
"Yay, girl power strikes again! Hey, you know what! We need a new name for each other just for today, because if we call each other by our real name we'll draw attention." Sakura said thoughtfully.
"Alright, I'll name you…dummy." Sasuke said evilly.
"Gr…why you little…" Sakura growled.
"The name suites you." He teased even more.
"You want to play? Fine! Your name for today is going to be Cold Ass Jerk!"
"Heh, dummy sounds worse. I may be a jerk but I'm certainly not dumb." He grinned; he just loves toying with her.
"You'll pay Sasuke, you'll pay. But now I have to find clothes so count yourself lucky!" Sakura said with a glare, and they snuck into the mall again.
They went to shops after shops when finally Sakura found what she was looking for. A rebellious black shirt that has her favorite words: 'Bite Me' in white letters printed on it. Then she bought a jean skirt.
Sakura waited outside of the shop while Sasuke was inside paying for her, he is such a gentlemen! No matter how much Sakura told him not to pay for her he just wouldn't listen. She hummed a small tune when somebody grabbed her purse and started running away.
"Ahh! SASU—I MEAN COLD ASS---OH WHAT THE HELL! SASUKE! SOMEBODY STOLE MY PURSE! GO CHASE HIM DOWN!" She screamed and panicked as she pointed at the direction where the thief had went.
Sasuke quickly got a hold of the situation and sped after him. Sakura got her shopping bags from the counter and chased after them too. The thief looked back and saw Sasuke slowly catching up.
"Oh shit!" Frantically he broke into a sprint, running as fast as he can. Sasuke broke into a sprint too and ignored the people staring at them.
He ran faster and faster until he caught the thief's shirt with his right hand. The guy swung an arm around hoping to knock off Sasuke, but he ducked just in time and kicked him straight in the back, thanks to his fighting skills.
The guy staggered up but was knocked down again as Sasuke punched the guy hard in the face. He collapsed, and rolled around yelping in pain. Sakura ran up to them and grabbed her purse.
"WOMAN! It's just a purse man! You don't need to send your boyfriend after me!" The guy cursed.
"Fool!" She said in anger and delivered a punch of her own. "It's not just a purse! It's CHANEL!" With that she swung her bag over her shoulder, linked her hand with Sasuke's and they walked off. Surprisingly, Sakura's punch hurts more than Sasuke's punch.
Three reasons why you should bring your boyfriend whenever you go shopping:
1) Others will be jealous of you.
2) You will have the best time in the world with them.
3) They can't beatpeople to pulp whenever they try to steal from you.
"Wow, Sasuke! I can't believe you actually caught him and beat the hell out of him!" Sakura said in awe. They were walking on the sidewalk towards the parking lot.
"What did you expect?" he muttered while rolling his eyes.
"Thank you so much for today Sasuke!" She beamed at him gratefully.
He looked away in embarrassment. Not even a minute after his eyes widened is surprise as Sakura gently turned his head towards her, and kissed him passionately. Sakura broke the kiss and hugged his arm as they walked silently down the street.
"Oh yeah! You've never told me when your birthday is." She exclaimed as she suddenly remembered.
"July 23rd." he stated not really thinking much about it.
"What! That's less then a week away! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" she demanded accusingly.
"You never asked!" He cried innocently.
"You are such a jerk! Now what am I going to give you!"
"How am I suppose to know, dummy!"
"Jerk!"
"Dummy!"
"Jerk!"
"Dummy dum dum!"
Wow, they sure argue a lot in this story. I'm sorry, this is chapter is so short. Blame it all on school! Anyways I hope there is enough fluff inside. Sasuke's mother and Itachi are going to appear in the next chapter. If you know what Sasuke's mother is called please tell me! Is Sasuke's father called Kisho or something?
