Hi to you all again! Sorry for the late update again, I got a lot of tests and school projects these past few weeks.
Thank you Akira Ruyiko and birdie101 pointing out that I forgot about Yuki. Hehe, I kind of forgot to add her in the last chapter.
Chapter 23-Changes
Ino stormed through the hospital angrily glaring maliciously at everyone in sight. She couldn't believe it! The year book had arrived yesterday and she could see pictures of Sakura and Sasuke in there! And none of her and Sasuke!
She will not allow it! This time Haruno Sakura has gone too far…TOO FAR. She is getting her revenge for real this time. Heh, and to her luck, she found out that Sakura had lost her sight and memory.
Good, she deserved it anyway. Now all she has to do is ruin her fresh innocent mind….
Sakura sat on her bed looking ahead, seeing nothing but darkness. She was used to her blindness now, and developed a better sense of her surrounding.
Inner Sakura: Where's Sasuke? Its getting late, where is he?
Just then her door opened and her mouth immediately curved into a sweet smile. Ino peered in and saw her; a flash of pity swept through her but was gone in a split second. She cleared her voice to bring out her sweet innocent voice and looked evily upon her. She was blind anyway.
"Hi Sakura-chan! My name is Yamanaka Ino." A feminine voice rang through Sakura's ears, and she frowned in confusion.
Inner Sakura: Isn't Sasuke supposed to be here? Who is she anyway? Did something happen to Sasuke?
"Hi." She greeted unsurely to her guest, and smile shakily at her.
"You're probably wondering who I am, and I don't blame you. Well like I said I'm Ino and I'm one of your good friends in Fiery Leaf High."
"Oh!" Sakura's face instantly lit up, another friend had come to visit her.
Just look at pathetic face, so gullible! Ha, this revenge is going to be SO sweet.
"Oh, Sakura-chan…..look at you, you poor thing! Are you feeling any better at all? Do you need me to do anything for you?" Ino cried concernedly, rushing to her side.
"It's okay Ino-chan. I'm fine, really." Sakura assured her.
"Well, are you any better to come by my house and have some tea and perhaps chat for a while?"
"Um, well you see. Sasu—"
"Oh don't worry about him, he told me that he was busy visiting Hitomi, so he won't be able to come by." Ino chirped, interrupting her.
"H-Hitomi?"
If her mind was working correctly, isn't Hitomi a girl's name?
"Yeah Hitomi-chan. She's my friend and also a close friend of Sasuke."
"C-Close friend?"
"Yes, but enough about that. Let's get going." Ino continued happily and led her out of the hospital. She could see confusion literally written across her face. Haha, she's probably dying to know who Hitomi is. Sorry forehead bitch but Sasuke-kun is mine. First I'll tear your little heart apart then you'll get mad at Sasuke, and then…Sasuke is mine!
Ino led her to her bronze Porsche and she drove to her house making Sakura listen to her babbling. Although Sakura's mind seemed to be preoccupied with Sasuke and this girl called Hitomi at the moment. Ino's planwas working perfectly.
They arrived at her mansion and Ino took her to their garden. They were greeted by maids and Sakura started to wonder who Ino exactly is.
"Ino-chan can you describe this place that you live in and what do you look like?" she asked.
"Oh! Of course, how careless of me. Sorry Sakura-chan. I have blond long hair that is tied in a ponytail, and I live we're in my mansion."
"You're mansion! Are you as rich as Sasuke!" she exclaimed.
"Not quite, now let's go to my garden and have some tea."
But I will be as rich as Sasuke, once he's mine. Ino's mind cackled.
They sat underneath a little tree. A table was laid out for them as well as two chairs, and expensive tea.
"You're garden smells nice. Do you like flowers?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes! Very much! I love them so much; when I grow up I want to have flower companies that sell all my favorite flowers." Ino said enthusiastically.
"Wow, at least you know what you want in the future. I don't even know what I want, especially now that I have lost all my memory." Sakura stated with no hint of sadness in her words.
Why isn't she sad? She had just lost all her memories and sight, yet she could say those words so casually.
"Why do you sound so casual? Don't you feel sad? I would feel so bad if I had lost all my memories and my sight." She asked out of pure curiosity.
"I did feel sad, but now that I have all my friends with me, those sad feelings tend to disappear. And having those feelings won't help me anyway; I don't want others to worry about me so I just try to be as happy as I can for the sake of others." She replied.
A stab of guilt went through Ino's chest.
Now that I have all my friends with me, those sad feelings tend to disappear.
I don't want others to worry about me so I just try to be as happy as I can for the sake of others.
For the sake of others…
The sake of others…
"Ino-pig?"
Why do I feel so bad now…I can't let my feelings get in the way. She made me suffer enough, and I'm not going to suffer anymore.
"Huh! Oh, sorry…um…yeah I guess. Wait, what did you say!" She cried.
"Did I just call you pig? I'm so sorry; it just came out all of the sudden!" She exclaimed.
"Hehe, forehead girl. You use to call me that."
"Forehead girl! Why you…Ino-PIG!"
"Forehead girl!"
"Ino-pig!"
"Forehead girl!"
"Ino-pig!"
She then noticed that Sakura's hair was a bit uneven, so she offered to trim her hair to keep her mind occupied. It's going to be a nice act to win her friendship more.
"Hey forehead girl, let me trim your hair."
"What! You don't have to do this Ino-chan."
"It's okay Sakura-chan; I know how to do this. Are you really this kind or are you just afraid that I will mess up your hair?" Ino teased.
"Both." Sakura answered with a grin, and then sat down as Ino started to trim her short pink hair.
They laughed, talking about all the recent gossips and Ino's past experiences. Ino felt different talking to her somehow, but she just can't grasp what that feeling is. As she finished, she looked at her finished work proudly. Sakura looked better, and her hair's usual gleam seems to be returning.
As Sakura touched her hair, she was a silent for a minute.
"Sakura-chan?"
"….You know Ino, I feel so happy right now. Thank you, this is the first time where I actually feel like I really belong. With all these wonderful friends beside me, from now on, I'll try harder to regain my memories and make them happy. I'm going to repay you too!"
With all these wonderful friends beside me, from now on, I'll try harder to regain my memories and make them happy…
Make them happy…
'Make them happy? Not make yourself happy forehead girl?'
"Ino-chan?"
'Repay me? If only you knew what I had done to you…'
"Ino-chan?"
'Why are you so nice! Why are you always so nice! Why can you make friends! Why can you have Sasuke! Why! Why can't I be as lucky as you?...
"Ino-chan?"
Silent tears started falling from her eyes, mixed emotions swirled around inside her body.
Pity for herself
Anger for her fate
Confusion for friendship
Awe for the girl in front of her
Disappointed for Sasuke
Sad for Sakura
Sad for Sakura! Where did that come from! She was her enemy! She took everything she had ever wanted. All she had are possessions that other people want; she had everything anybody would possibly want in the world. But there was only one thing that she never really had….a true friend.
Shikamaru counts as a friend; he supported her and listened to her rambling. Maybe even understood her. But he was a boy and she was a girl. She can't always count on him, and he doesn't deserve to listen to all her fits and other things that only a girl should know.
Talking to Haruno Sakura, was the first time Ino felt having a true friend. She was able to joke with her and felt like herself. Not some bratty Ino that everyone knew so well.
Fan clubs doesn't count. They don't care want happens to her. All they care about is getting Sasuke. They only side with her because she was one of them that want Sasuke. But after they get rid of Sakura, they will come for her too. For she was Sasuke's fiancée.
For once, somebody had actually talked to her as a friend. Smiled for her and took her as a real friend. A real friend….she, Yamanaka Ino, the popular brat that's the head of Sasuke's fan club was treated as a real friend for the very first time.
Her family had always been away since she was little. The only people she has every lived with were maids and butlers. Nobody else. Those servants didn't even care about her, they just do their jobs for money without trying to get to know their young mistress and make friends with her.
More tears fell from her blue eyes as she looked up in the sky as if she was trying to search for an answer from God. She was so confused; she didn't know what to do.
"Ino-chan! Are you alright! You're crying! Its okay, I'm here. Don't cry!" Sakura comforted, as she managed to find a napkin on the table and wiped her face after she blindly searched for it.
I always wondered why Sasuke chose her instead of me. Now I understand why…she has something special that I don't. She has a heart that can change other people through kindness…I owe you one Sakura. I finally understand. The world it's not just about yourself, it's about others too. Thank you for making me realize this. You have probably suffered more than I……and for that I'll start respecting you from now on and tryto change myself.
"I'm sorry Sakura." She said with a firm strong voice, and wiped her tears away.
"Huh? Sorry about what! You didn't do anything wrong, so don't sorry me." Sakura retorted.
Ino shook her head then stood up, "No, I'm sorry and I mean it. You'll know what I'm talking about when you regain your memory."
"Um, well then apology accepted I guess?"
"Yep, now I want to show you my favorite flowers!"
"Hey, um can you tell me who visited Haruno Sakura last?" Sasuke asked frantically to the secretary at the hospital.
"Let me check sir, um….a young lady called Yamanaka Ino." She informed.
"Ino!" he hissed angrily and quickly nodded his thanks and ran off.
"Naruto, I found her. She's with Ino." Sasuke told Naruto over the cell phone as he ran to his motorcycle.
"Ino! Ino, as in Yamanaka Ino! Oh god, meet you over at her mansion."
Sasuke snapped his cell phone shut and zoomed off to the Yamanaka's Mansion.

Ring
"Huh? Oh excuse me Ino-chan, would you mind fetching my cell for me?" Sakura asked polity.
"Sure."
She went over and got her cell phone andglanced at thecaller's ID. It was Sasuke's.
Sasuke-kun……you found out that she's with me, you must be worried. Heh, I don't blame you.
She handed Sakura her cell phone and she answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Sakura! Are you okay?"
"Hey Sasuke, and yes, why wouldn't I be?"
"Where are you right now?"
"In Ino's mansion."
"What the hell are you doing there!"
"Am I not supposed to be here? And where are you right now? Visiting someone else?"
"What! Sakura, just wait okay? We'll talk later."
And with that he hung up. Sakura was angry with him.
"What the heck is his problem? Is it a crime to go to another friend's house? God, it's supposed to be me that should be mad." Sakura fumed.
"Sakura, its okay. He has all the right to be worried mad at me. He l-loves you a lot, you know. And…and he wasn't visiting Hitomi. I just made that up, I'm sorry."
"What?" Sakura cried confusedly, furrowing her eyebrows.
"I-I lied because…." Ino trailed off, too afraid to say anything.
"Why did you lie! I'm so confused, what's going on?"
"I-I wanted to talk to you so I lied to you, making you think that Sasuke didn't have the time today to spend time with you so that you'll come with me to my house for a while." Ino half lied.
It was true that she wanted to talk to her and ruin her heart, but now she thinks that it was best for her to not know anything about her past. If she found out that she's Sasuke's fiancée, Sakura will probably die of shock. Plus, now that she's accepted Sasuke was Sakura's, there's always….
"You wanted to talk to me? Why didn't you say so! You don't have to lie Ino-pig!" Sakura laughed, swarming with relief. She thought she had lied because of something serious and big. And also relieved that Sasuke wasn't going out with another girl.
"Sakura!" Sasuke's voice rang in both of the girl's ears.
He's come…
"Sasuke!"
"Sakura, are you okay? What the hell are you doing here? Did she do anything to y—" he was cut off by Sakura.
"Sasuke, why would Ino-chan do anything to me? You big dummy." Sakura demanded.
"Because….Ino what's going on?" He asked suspiciously to the blond.
Ino just shrugged and said in a calm voice, no longer a high pitched obsessed voice anymore.
"Nothing Sasuke-kun, I just wanted to get to know Sakura better." She replied.
"What's with you Ino?" Sasukeinquired even more suspiciously. Ino was not her normal self anymore. Why isn't she all clingy anymore?
"Ah-hem," Sakura cleared her throat to get their attention, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Never mind, let's go Sakura." Sasuke said finally, deciding that Ino had done nothing to hurt Sakura.
"Yeah, it's getting late. Bye Sakura-chan, bye Sasuke-kun." Ino said sweetly, bidding them goodbye.
"Bye Ino-chan! Thank you; I had a great time today." Sakura bid back then got on Sasuke's motorcycle with his help and left.
>>>>
"Sakura, what did you guys talk about?" Sasuke asked curiously, breaking the silence between them. Something was wrong with Ino, and he wants to know why.
"Oh nothing that you should be knowing. Just girl talk you know." Sakura answered innocently.
"Is that all? Did she talk about me at all?" He asked.
"Nope, you're not that famous Sasuke." Sakura teased in reply.
"Whatever."
That is so weird. Ino just changed from being an annoying gossip girl to a less annoying gossip girl…
They arrived at the hospital and Sasuke quickly gave Naruto a call.
"Dobe, we're at the hospital. I got her."
"What! But I'm almost at the Yamanaka Mansion!"
"Too bad, now turn around."
"Why you bastard…."
"What now?Having trouble turning around now?"
"Annoying bastard, I am gonna get you so badly."
"Bring it, now turn your dead last butt if you can even lift it and hull it to the hospital now."
Sasuke then switched off the phone before Naruto can say anything back. He led Sakura back to her room and stayed with her when finally Naruto came.
"So I see you finally hulled that big stinkin' butt of yours here."
"I'll show you who have a big stinkin' butt once I'm through with you!" Naruto roared angrily.
"What are you going do to my bum, you perverted nincompoop." Sasuke taunted.
"NINCOMPOOP! I AM NOT A POOP, YOU POOP!"
Inner Sakura: I wonder if they are they even best friends….
Sakura roamed around her house alone, getting acquainted with every little nooks and corners. Tsunade had said she can live in her house now, but is required to go to the hospital at least once for every three days to get checkups. Sasuke are to come everyday and stay with her. It was her first morning living inside her house and Sasuke hasn't come yet so she decided to give herself a little tour.
She found a bag of food under the sink and sniffed it. It was a weird kind of smell, a smell of a food that wasn't fit for a human to eat.
Inner Sakura: What the heck? This smells like…
She felt her way to the phone and using her brilliant mind she calculated where the buttons were and pushed in Tenten's number that she had memorized a few days ago.
"Hi, this is Tenten."
"Hi, Tenten-chan."
"Sakura-chan! Anything wrong? Are you hurt? What happened? I'll go call 911 right away! Hold on Sakura-chan, we're coming to save you!" Tenten shouted frantically, getting ready to call the police. You can never know what a blind person can do in the morning all alone.
"Tenten-chan, I'm not hurt." Sakura said quickly before Tenten completely freaked out. Her freaking-o-meter is currently at 55 percent.
"Not hurt? Did you get taken as hostage? Huh, huh, huh! We're coming Sakura, hold on!"
Freaking-o-meter was rising to 60 percent.
"No, I'm not taken by a hostage. I-"
"Did robbers break in! Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
Rising rapidly to 70 percent.
"Nobody broke in, Tenten-chan. I just-"
"What is it then! Teeeelllll meeee!"
"That's what I've been trying to do for the last five minutes!" Sakura cried in frustration.
"Whhhhaaaattt! You wanted to tell me, 'that's what I've been trying to do for the last five minutes!' I better call the police right now, it seems like you got bonkers in your head Sakura-chan! Because you obviously don't make sense at all! Oh no, maybe you're about to suffer from a Senseless Disease!"
Continuing to rise to 75 percent.
"No! I am not suffering from a Senseless Disease! I just-"
"Wha-"
"Don't you dare interrupt-"
"But Sa-"
"JUST LISTEN TO ME!"
"Okay, okay….I'm listening….Your probably suffering from—"
"SHHHHH!"
"Okay, okay."
"Do I eat cat food?"
"..."
Freak-o-meter has just turned into a Dumb-struck-o-meter rating at 101 percent.
"CAT FOOD! What! Are you seriously out of your head?
"Wait, wait, wait. Before you decide to go and call the police, hear me out. Seriously, do I eat cat food? I found a bag of food that smelled like cat food, but I don't remember having a cat."
"Ohhhhh, why didn't you say so in the first place? Jeez, you worried me there for a sec."
Inner Sakura: I would if you would just let me speak bun-head!
"No, you don't eat cat food Sakura. You would be a physico if you do and it will be the end of the world for Sasuke. But anyways, you have a cat called Yuki and Sasuke is currently taking care of her for you. Hehe, we kind of forgot to tell you that…"
Inner Sakura: Forgot! You know how important that information is!
"Oh ok, thanks for telling me that Tenten-chan, bye!"
"No problem, ciao!"
"Whew, glad that was over. So Yuki huh? Wonder what she looks like, I'll ask Sasuke later."
Sakura felt her way over to the fridge and got a box of ice cream and went over to the couch and started eating while listening to the TV.
Sasuke sneaked into the house hoping to scare Sakura. He sneaked past the living room and into the family room. He smirked as he saw Sakura eating ice cream, it brings back old memories.
Sakura scooped up a big spoonful of vanilla ice cream and brought it to her mouth and continued listening to the radio.
Good, she doesn't know I'm here.
He tip toed closer and closer until he was in front of her. With one flick of a spoon, a big pile of ice cream flew in the air and landed square in Sasuke's face.
"UGH!"
He didn't have time to duck because he was so close to her, "Shit! Sakura! You're going to pay for that!"
"Haha, it serves you right for sneaking up on me. I can hear you over a mile away. I would give everything to see your face." She laughed.
Sasuke quickly went to the sink and washed his face. Then he went over to Sakura and grabbed her ice cream.
"Give that back Sasuke!"
"Say the magic-"
"Magic word my ass! If you eat it, I-I will never forgive you!" she yelled trying to reach for it.
"Sakura, that's rude. And I happen to be hungry anyway so care to share?" he asked playfully holding the ice cream out of her reach.
Flashback
"Sasuke! What are you doing here?" Sakura called as she suddenly spotted him.
"Uhh...walking by. What are you doing here?" he asked coming towards her while running his fingers through his spiky hair. "Oh still hanging out with Lee. He just went somewhere to throw his drink away."
"I know—I mean ohh." He sat down beside her and suddenly put on his infamous devilish grin as a thought ran across his mind. "Sasuke..." Sakura said in a low voice, she frowned at the expression she knew too well.
"What Sakura?" he said innocently, slipping an arm around her. She arched an eyebrow at him, "I swear if you do anything jerky I will—"
"You will what?" he cut her off and quickly grabbed her milkshake from her. "GIVE IT BACK!" she screamed.
"Say the magic—"
"Magic word my ass! If you drink it, I-I will never forgive you!" she yelled trying to reach for it. "Sakura, that's rude. And I happen to be thirsty anyway so care to share?" he asked playfully holding the drink out of her reach.
"NO!"
"I'll take that as a yes." He said pleasantly and lowered the straw to his mouth. "I didn't say I'll share you big jerk! And who said you can use the same straw as me!" she cried angrily.
"Aww Sakura. Aren't we after all enemies? And as enemies, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine." He said both sarcastically and teasingly. "NOT TRUE!" Was all she could say as she watched helplessly as he drank a little from her drink.
End of Flashback
"Sakura?" Sasuke called to the still body beside him.
"Uh….did this happen before?" She asked quietly rubbing her temples.
"What happened before?" He echoed worriedly.
"This! What we're doing right now; I saw you in the park and you took my drink away from me and drank from it. Thisis like déjà vu!"
"Park? Drink? What are you….."
Sasuke searched through his mind and suddenly remembered.
"Y-You remembered t-that!" he whispered disbelievingly.
Sakura was shocked herself too.
"Is there anything else you remember?" He asked hopefully. Sakura shook her head, and looked shamefully away. She was startled when she felt Sasuke's arms pulling her close to his body.
"Sasuke…"
"It's okay. You don't have to remember anything right this minute. It will slowly come to you in the future. At least your one step closer to regaining your memory." He said softly.
Sakura felt like crying but held back her tears. She didn't want to cry in front of Sasuke and so instead, she leaned against his chest and enjoyed the next few silent minutes.
Then Sasuke broke the silence and told her that it was time for her to go to the hospital. He put away the almost melted ice cream, and they set off on his motorcycle.
>>>
Tsunade unwrapped the cloth that bound Sakura's eyes and used a mini-flashlight to see her pupils.
Green irises and white sclera with red lacrimal sac and little red veins around the sac….
Wait, did she just saw red veins around the sac? Tsunade looked closer again, and there WAS little red veins around the corner of her eye.
"Tsunade-sama?" Both Sakura and Sasuke said together nervously at their elder's silence.
"……"
"Uh….is something wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Just spill it lady." Sasuke said impatiently.
"I can't believe it! Sakura!" Tsunade cried with glee and hugged her.
Inner Sakura: Wow….her boobs sure felt….big…..
"Tsunade-sama?"
"Hurry up woman! What are you so happy about?" Sasuke growled in an even more impatient voice.
"I have good news." Tsuande said calmly after awhile.
"Yeah and that is…."
"You're only going to be temporary blind Sakura. Veins are contacting your eyes which mean the nervous system is working around your eyes again and is trying to heal it so the nerves will reach your pupil. And if I'm correct, your sight will return in three weeks time." She explained in one breath.
"I'm only going to be temporary blind! Oh my god!" Sakura exclaimed.
Sasuke was also shocked by the news too, he can't believe it. He will see Sakura's eyes back to normal self again!
Tsunade left to contact other people while Sakura was hugging Sasuke with joy. She will finally be able to see everything once she gets her sight back!
That night everyone got together in the Uchiha mansion to celebrate the good news….Ino was invited too, by Sakura. The others still had doubts about her but they tried to be as courteous as possible.
Ino came and visited Sakura the next day finding a letter for Sakura. Sasuke had to do some business for his parents so he wasn't able to stay with her, instead Sakura suggested Ino to come over and he reluctantly agreed after many pleadings and cute smiles.
The letter was a reminder from the Driver's License Agency for Sakura to take her writing test.
"WHAT! But how am I suppose to even take the test if I'm temporary blind!" Sakura cried out.
Ino thought over for a minute and lit up.
"You have a good memory right? Well I'll help you study. And I can make them let you take a different kind of test. You know, like they read out the question to you and you answer them with words. Technically you'll still be taking the test, but just a different way." Ino said slyly.
"Wow that is a brilliant plan! But I'm not so sure about the part of me having good memory and those, letting me take the test that way." Sakura said.
"Don't worry, Yamanaka Ino ALWAYS have a way to make other people, mwahahahaha!" Ino laughed, getting a little bit carried off. Sakura just sweat dropped.
The Next Day
"I'm sorry miss, but there is no way we are going to let a blind person take the test." The secretary said politely as possible.
"I'm telling you, she's not blind! She's TEMPORARY blind! Do you need me to get a dictionary for you or do you need me to spell that out for you!" Ino said angrily.
"We're truly very sorry. Even if she's temporary blind we need evidence from a doctor or someone that is officially recognized to say that Miss Haruno here is indeed temporary blind." He said as politely again.
"I'll give you your stupid evidence; do you know WHO I AM?" Ino seethed with anger. Sakura just stayed by her side, quiet as time. She was told by Ino to not interfere if anything goes wrong, and now it seems like Ino is handling the situation pretty well on her own.
"No miss, but you can tell us if you like." The man said, almost in a mocking voice.
"You stinkin brat, I'm Yamanaka Ino, daughter of the boss who's the second richest in the world you dimwit!"
"Y-Y-YA-YA……." He gasped out loud, unable to continue.
"There, now can she please take her driving test now?" Ino said in a fake sweet tone with a smirk on her face.
"See Sakura, NO PROBLEM. I told you I could handle it, now go and take your test and ace it!"
Inner Sakura: Yeah…erm she sure did handle things well.
"Thanks Ino-chan! Later." Sakura said happily and was being led away by a woman to take her test.
"So how's the test!" Ino asked eagerly as Sakura came out.
"I can't believe it was soo easy!" She replied delightfully.
"Yes! I knew you could do it, come on I'll treat you something to drink." Ino said generously and they went to a tea shop nearby and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon.
Sasuke came back to home all tired and worn out. Jin greeted him formally as usual and signaled the maids to give his motorcycle its daily waxing.
"Young Master, I have news for you." Jin said, while clearing his throat.
"Hn?"
"This afternoon, Miss Yamanaka sent a text over the fax machine this afternoon saying that from this day foreword on, you and her will no longer be fiancé and fiancée anymore. She has called her parents and told them to cancel the arrange marriage. Her parents were shocked by the news but reluctantly agreed. They are going to tell Master and Madam about this tomorrow." Jin said in a clear voice, not missing a detail out.
"Are you joking!" Sasuke said disbelievingly, at what he had just heard. Did Ino really tell her parents that she wanted to break the arrange marriage!
"No I am not joking, young master."
"Are you serious?" he asked again, still not believing at what he heard.
"Yes I am serious young master."
"You're not kidding me!"
"Pardon me for my rudeness, but for the last time, I AM NOT KIDDING YOUNG MASTER!" Jin said in a loud voice, but still in a polite and formal voice.
"Holy shhhh….." He trailed off as Jin gave him a disapproving look. "Uh, I'll get going now….bye."
He dashed off quickly up to his room before Jin can scold him. He got out his cell phone and pressed on the numbers.
"Hey Sasuke-kun, I guess you found out." Ino said in a stable voice.
"Uhhh….yeah…um…" Sasuke wasn't sure what to say so he just answered simply.
"Are you happy with my decision? And don't lie." She asked on the other line.
"….Yes….but why Ino? Why all of the sudden?"
"Because." Ino said cheerfully, which made Sasuke confused even more.
"Because….." he waited for her to finish her sentence.
"Because a special girl helped me open my eyes." She stated matter-of-factly.
"…." Sasuke took the time to digest everything in, and Ino patiently waited for him to speak.
"Ino, you sure have changed and I guess I owe you, thanks." Sasuke said as sincerely as possible.
"Wow, did Uchiha Sasuke just say thank-you to me! This sure is once in a lifetime." Ino teased.
"…."
"Stop fuming Sasuke-kun. So, no grudge?"
"Whatever."
"I'll take that as a yes then." Ino chirped.
"So Yamanaka Ino, who's the boy?" Sasuke asked, knowing her too well.
"Ohhh…." Ino scowled, he caught on quickly, "did you have to be so smart?"
"Yes, now who's the boy that also helped you open your eyes?" He inquired coolly.
"Fine, I'll tell you it's….."
"NARA SHIKAMARU!" Naruto howled.
"Uh huh." Sasuke said with a nod.
"Oh my god, she likes Shikamaru!" he cried out.
"Yup."
"The one and only Shikamaru that thinks everything is troublesome!"
"Yes, the one."
"The one and only Shikamaru that thinks all boys including me are troublesome!"
"YES, OKAY! How many times to I have to tell you?"
"The one and only Shikamaru that thinks all girls including you are troublesome!"
"GO TO HELL, DOBE!"
"Oooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww………….dudette you just punched my tooth out!"
"WELL LET'S SEE HOW YOU FEEL WHEN I PUNCH YOUR LIFE OUT!"
"OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW…………whimper, whimper, whimper……"

lilangelgurl Thank you so much for reading my fic and telling your cousin to read it too!
Xtreme Nuisance I'm sorry but I don't understand what's 'bbl!' but thanks anyway for your review!
Imperial Angel Hehe, I finally updated! And I never read Imadoki, I've watched Meteor Garden though (if you know what that is). What's a strudel? Anyways thx for your review!
Angel Yuriko Hi! Thanks for reading my fic! Yours was good too! Can you tell me your friend's pen name that told you to read this fic? Because I want to thank his/her. And also thank you!
EraTomo Yup, let the laziness go around! And the song that I posted was a true song. Although the author is unknown. Thanks for your review!
kisa411 I decided to make Sakura blind because losing her memory was obvious since she fell from a high tree. But I didn't want to make my story too cliché so I decided to add a little twist and make her blind. Yup that's about it, thanks for your review.
Mitzuki Amagiwa Thank you so much for liking my story and my plot. Sasuke/Sakura forever!
flAmn AyUmi Oh my god, I love your poem! Thank you soo much! I think you should publish that poem on to and make it more of a Naruto style!
petals of ice Thank you for discovering my greatness! Joking joking. But as a good person I have to be modest. Thank you for liking my stories, and discoveries are fun. It took me like a long time to find a good story that's like published a year ago. Well anyways thanx a lot! Bye!
babykitty2270 Thanks for your review! At least the stupid hurricane is gone! Thank you for being a devoted reader!
miss jeri-chan Hi again! You're review is always good to read. And yes I've watched meteor garden! And I love F4. But I don't know hana yori dango. You're review didn't offend me at all! My story is first based on meteor garden but as the story progressed I decided to make a twist out if it. Also because there's another fic that's completely based on meteor garden called 'Once upon a september' so I wanted my fic to be different from here. Thanks again!
fRenZ4EveR, sakuraflower416 Haha, I can't tell you if this story will have a happy ending. It's for you to find out! XD! Thanks for reviewing!

tomoe-betrayal I've read your fics, and its good. Keep it up! Thanks for your review! Don't we all love Sasuke! Lol
NoweManah It's ok if you didn't review for the last chap. At least I know you liked it. Thank you!
sweetmaiden Yeah it was hard not making Sasuke ooc. And Konohamaru deserved to be punished! But he's a 5 year old and it would be really over OOC it Sasuke decided to punish a little kid. Thanks for reviewing!
Lone Sakura Wow, your like the only person that understands perfectly! Because other reviewers were all sad that I made Sakura blind. I didn't want my story to be too cliché and you understand that so thanks a lot!
sakuryn Wow, you got knocked out for 32 hours! Cool! Well not cool, but I always want to experience blacks outs and faintings. Yeah I'm weird, but that's just me! Thanks for your review!
JuicyGal119 Hell yeah! The one I'm talking about is the Vancouver's PNE! Are you a Canadian? I loved PNE and I rode on the wooden roller coaster six times in a row! It was soo fun and I liked the beach party too. And yeah the girls sucks but you know they had to suck or else no fluff. Thanks for reviewing!
Djazqu Yeah, my fic is undergoing some major changes. I'm trying to make it humorous again but you know, every story has to have their dramatic parts! Thanks for reviewing!
Kawaii-Hisui Wow, I'm your idol? Makes me feel special, lol. Thanks a lot for reading!
