Secret Friends

Chapter 7: Chocolate is the Best Medicine for Broken Hearts

Disclaimer: I own CHOCOLATE... but nothing else.

A/N This is about a month after Ino cheated. They are on vacation from school. Now has a bit of SakuTema in it.

Naruto...

Naruto invited Hinata and Kiba over. Of course Neji and Tenten would come too. It would be a Cheer Up Party for Sakura. Naruto labeled mission chocolate. This was because he bought two gallons of chocolate on Friday afternoon and stored them in his freezer. Now they were crowded around the door and waiting to get in. Sakura and Temari would be coming later so it could be a surprise for Sakura. He was sitting on the porch alone when everyone else went in.

" Naruto," He heard a voice say.

He smiled when Sasuke sat next to him and kissed him lightly on his lips. He took Sasuke's hand and twined their fingers together. They looked in to each others eyes. Someone cleared their throat in front of them. Iruka looked down at his son and the boy next to him and smiled. Naruto blushed.

" Are they coming soon?" Iruka asked.

" Yeah they're on their way. At least they were when I last spoke to them," Sasuke answered.

Iruka chuckled at his son who was still blushing and turned to go inside.

Sakura...

Temari and Sakura walked in the direction of Naruto's house. Sakura side glanced at Temari. She really is pretty with her hair down. She actually looks like a... beautiful girl! Sakura had been thinking about Temari a lot lately. She thought it was because Temari was there for her since Ino cheated but maybe it was something more. She found herself looking at Temari way more than she should and would space out too. Could it be... But what if I'm not over Ino and this is temporary and what if Temari doesn't like me. So much could go wrong with this but for some reason this selfish desire is filling me. Before she knew it they were standing in front of Naruto's house. They saw Naruto and Sasuke sitting together, holding hands.

" Hey homo," Temari grinned.

" Holy shit... you actually look like a descent girl. If I weren't gay you'd have to watch out," Naruto greeted her with a chuckle.

" Yeah it's actually for Sasuke," She said playfully patting Sasuke's cheek.

"Mine," Naruto grabbed Sasuke and pulled him into him.

Temari grabbed Sakura," Look I own a person too. What now?"

Sakura blushed and waited for Temari to let her go. When she did they went inside.

" I brought the movies," Hinata smiled.

They leafed through the movies and picked a sappy romantic comedy. Something to make Sakura laugh. Naruto pulled out the big tubs of ice cream and put it into bowls. Tenten hugged Sakura.

"I'm sorry," She apologized.

" It's not your fault," Sakura hugged back.

That's a lot of chocolate. It's like heaven! Sakura accepted the huge bowl of ice cream from Naruto and settled in to eat and watch the movie.

Temari...

Sakura sat next to Temari in the couch. Naruto darkened the lights and pressed play after everyone had Ice cream.

She seems to be happier already. I haven't seen her laugh this much in a while. It's actually kind of ... cute. Her laugh that is. Just like a tiny giggle. It makes her eyes shine brightly. Temari picked up her spoon and began to eat. She watched the movie but from the corner of her eye she kept an eye out for Sakura. This odd feeling stirred inside her as she watched her friend. She understood because she knew after listening to Gaara talk about falling in love with lee, that she was falling for Sakura. She knew how to hide it though because Sakura will never feel that way about me.

Naruto...

Naruto sat next to Sasuke and ate his ice cream. Sasuke had an arm around his dobe. They melted into each other like complementary colors blending to make a color all their own. Naruto watched Sakura and Temari squirm, neither noticing the others discomfort. It was funny because it was so obvious they like each other.

" So who's staying the night?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke, Sakura, Temari, and Hinata raised their hands. Kiba said he couldn't because Akamaru needed a bath tonight. Neji and Tenten had plans to go somewhere. Naruto nodded and smiled. Good this means more ice cream later and that we can have girl talk...okay that's it. You've outgayed yourself, Naruto. He smiled at that thought and felt Sasuke cuddle closer.

" The ice cream made me cold," He muttered as he pulled the blond closer.

Naruto smiled and put his arms around Sasuke. They looked at each other and smiled. Such a beautiful smile...He should do it more often. God, I love you Sasuke!

Sasuke saw the look in Naruto's eyes and kissed him. Naruto smiled as he felt the lips of the other boy move against his. The attention was now on each other and not on the movie. Kiba cleared his throat and Hinata giggled. They broke apart from each other.

" Sorry,"Naruto blushed at them.

Sasuke smirked and held Naruto closer. The smaller boy suppressed a shiver as Sasuke brushed his fingers against Naruto's neck.

Sakura...

They are so cute together. It took them long enough to get together. I remember when Naruto pretended to like me to hide it. That was so annoying but I understood because I was doing the same thing with Sasuke and Ino. Ino... Oh why did I think of her. Great I' m going to cry. Sakura stood and went to go to the bathroom. She felt the tears collecting in her eyes then they spilled over. Silently she cried, balling herself up in the corner. There was a knock on the door.

" Sakura?" Temari's worried voice sounded.

Shit. Sakura breathed in and out. She calmed down and wiped her eyes.

" Yeah," She called.

" You okay," Temari asked.

" Yeah I'm fine," She said. Then sniffled as her voice cracked.

Temari turned the knob of the door and waked in. Man I forgot to lock the door. She went to Sakura and saw her crying.

" Want some more ice cream. Chocolate heals everything faster," Temari hugged Sakura.

Sakura giggled and nodded her head. Temari took her hand and helped her stand up. She felt how warm Temari's hand was around hers and smiled. When she went to sit on the couch she felt Temari pull her down so she ended up sitting on Temari's lap. She blushed and adjusted herself so she was comfortable. The movie ended soon after that.

Naruto put on music to dance to and they all danced like idiots. Sakura and Naruto put on their own concert like they did when they were younger. Everyone else had to be in the audience.

" I wish we were kids again," Sakura announced.

" I know. Those were fun days," Naruto smiled remembering.

Sasuke put his arms around Naruto and hugged him. He smiled as Naruto melted into his touch.

Sasuke...

Why couldn't we be alone right now. I want to be alone with my Naruto. Then we can have fun... sorry for thinking that. Sasuke was still holding Naruto when he noticed a noise. A buzzing noise.

" Someone's phone is ringing,"He stated.

" It's mine," Sakura picked it up.

She reached in her pocket and flipped it open.

" Yo," She said jokingly.

" Sakura, It's me. I need a favor. Please," Ino's hysteric voice was on the other line.

Sakura froze. She almost dropped the phone when Temari took it. Why is she calling me now? Why is she doing this? I need to move on why won't she let me?

" What do you want,Ino?" Temari hissed in a venomous tone.

" I don't know where I am and Shikamaru left me alone here because he got sick. I need an escort home." Ino said.

" Call someone else," Temari looked at Sakura.

" but," Ino was silenced by a click.

Temari...

Temari stood with the closed phone in her hand. She looked around and shook her head. Bitch. Why is she calling Sakura? She hugged Sakura and put the phone on silent. They chose a new movie to watch.

Sakura sat with a new bowl of chocolate ice cream. She smiled and leaned in to Temari.

" Your right chocolate heals everything faster but it helps when your here, She kissed Temari's cheek.
