AN: Thankz people for the reviews!!! I owe all of you this chapter. Mostly that one crazy reviewer who told me I only had two weeks to up-date or they'd kill me….looks like somebody needs to tone down on the soda!!! Lol, well, here's another chapter of: T.H.I.S. is War and Love! Enjoy!!!

ABOUT THE STORY'S FORMAT: Older Sakura will talk at first some times. That for now on will be centered. After that it will be the Sakura you normally read: from younger Sakura's point of view. Thankz! Just wanted to make that clear yall'!

DISCLAIMER: I got one penny, in my pocket! I got one penny, in my pocket! I got one penny in my pocket; wish I had 99 more… So apparently I have one penny and a hope for 99 more! But I don't own Naruto! Grrr.

Well, as you can see, that night of COURSE was magical. I'll never forget one detail. And if I do, I'll just ask around. But anyways, I SOMEHOW got some sleep that night. I don't even think I had to tell you about what I dreamed about…tehehe. So…where was I? Oh yeah, the day after!!! ;)

OoOoOoOoOoO

"SAKURA, WAKE UP YOU LAZY HEAD!!!!!" I closed my eyes tighter, gave in to the fact I was already awoken, and sat upwards on my bed.

"Humnph?" I hummed pretty loud and saw the other three girls standing there. I um…wasn't expecting this…so I um...screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" They just stood there and blinked.

"Umm…good morning to you to Sakura…" Ten Ten told me as she walked over to my dresser. She flung my clothes that I had set out last night. (Yes I do that…no picking at me! Don't pick at me! Go read another story…NO WAIT! I was joking...yosh! ANWYAS.) I glared at her and slipped them on real quick and put my hands on my hips.

"I'm up; happy now?" Hinata and Ino looked at each other and shook their heads. WHAT?!? They better have a good reason for waking me up so friggin' early in the morning or else I'm gonna get mad… By the way, it's kinda late to say this, but, I Haruno Sakura am NOT a morning person. That's underlined, and in caps for a reason people…

"You need some gloss, shoes, hair brushed…" Ino counted the words that she said on her fingers mocking me. I just huffed and stomped pass her to my dresser. Note to self: buy Ino a muzzle, and tell Mom to say NO to my friends in the morning…

So I brushed my hair, spicing it up in my mind, I daydreamed. The brush was in one corner, and I in the other. I tackled it and started to make it brush my hair. The crowds were cheering my name.

'Sakura, Sakura, Sakura!!!!!' But all the sudden the brush stops, and taps my shoulder…what the willy-wonka?!?! Wow, I must have underestimated the smartness of a hair brush...

"SAKURA!!" Ino said poking my shoulder.

"Um…yeah?" I said blinking.

"You've been glaring at your brush for the past 3 minutes and making really odd noises…"

"Tehehe???" I said done brushing, and set the brush on my dresser. Selecting my black, white, and pink poka dot watch, grey and pink socks, and my black skater shoes, (Of course!!) I sat down on my bed putting them all on. When done, I stood up, fixed my hair in a messy, but cute, bun. I looked at different angles of my outfit. I was wearing black jeans that went to my knees, and a white and pink poka dot shirt that had a low v-neck. Could I be any cuter?!?! And double the points for the colors Sakura! CHAAA!

"Ok! Where are we off to gals?" I said walking to my bathroom to quickly brush my teeth. When down, I looked up in the mirror to see a reflecting Hinata face. I turned around, leaned on my sink and cocked my head sideways.

"We w-were thinking about t-the mall." I smiled.

"Sure! Did you guys bring your bikes?"

OoOoOoOoOoO

After locking my lock around my of course people: pink and black bike, I looked at Konoha's Mega Mall. I LOVED it, being the dazzling girl I am! I mean, it WAS only about two small blocks away from my house! So after locking my bike up, double checking, I walked towards the mall with Ino linked with my arm on her left, and Hinata on my left.

We stepped in the mall and walked around for a while. Then we passed the most awe-mazing necklace in the world. Pink pearls, with black onyxes!!! O M G!! So pretty…must have…Yes, I am on drugs when it comes to pink, black, grey, and white! Don't ask anything further… I unlinked my arms, and walked to the store.

So walking out of the store with the newly bought item around my neck, I looked around for the girls. From fingering the beads, to clutching them, I noticed that they were no where to be found. I walked forward, and to my left, nope, right, YAY! I saw them! I started to run to them.

"HEY GUYS!!" But MUCH to my dismay: I tripped.

"Owey…" I said rubbing my bottom. It had hit the floor pretty hard. But wait…my neck...it felt…naked! Where was my new necklace?!?

"Greaaat Sakura, just bought it, and you lost it! Damn." I said to myself looking for it.

"Is this it?" A voice came from behind me. I saw a hand reaching out holding the necklace!

"Yes, omega, thanks so much!" I said when the person's other hand helped me up. I looked up to the person's face to thank them. And gasp! Who did I see?!?

"SASUKE!" I yelled was I jumped him into a hug. I looked over at the girls seeing them with the other guys.

"Hn, Sakura? Kinda hard to breath right now…" I jumped off and smiled brightly.

"Sorry! Thanks for helping me and all that." Shrugging and blushing, I found the floor just oh-so interesting…

"Well, you're welcome. But if you truly want to thank this noble man, then you wouldn't mind him putting your beautiful necklace back around your as equal beautiful bod- err…neck!" He said winking showing me the 'bod-err…neck' slip up wasn't a slip up at all. I giggled as he came closer and closed to clasp around my neck. When he was done, he stuffed on hand in a pocket, and the other out for me. I took it and walked with him to the group.

"Fancy meeting you guys here today!" Ten Ten said smiling at Neji, who in converse, smirked back at her and put his arm around her waist.

"The dobe had to come so he could get his dorky new set of video games." Neji stated making Naruto kinda hide behind Hinata in embarrassment.

"Dorky video games? I thought you guys liked video games…" I said giving Sasuke a raise-of-the-brow-in-question look.

"Yeah, we do, But Naruto plays those draggy ramen games." Shikamaru stated sighing and allowing Ino to rest her head on his shoulder.

"Ramen games?!?!" Ino popped her head up and looked at Shikamaru like he was crazy. Everyone's gaze was now on Naruto. He shrugged with a faint blush.

"What?! People have different likes and dislikes..."

"And that is definitely a different like Naruto…" I told him shaking my head smiling at his kid-ish ways.

"I t-think is kinda c-cute." Hinata blushed such a blush, I wanted a purse that color to match my red evening dress I had hanging in my closet…

"Really Hinata-chan?!?!? You should play some time! It's quite fun really, you see, there are these evil potato people who want to rule over the ramen kingdom…" Naruto babbled on and on as all of us started to walk to some random store.

"Sasuke, want to go to the book shop?" I said nudging him to look at our left to see the Books A Million book store.

"Well…they are having a sale, and I want to see if they have this one book in…"

"GUYS! Sasuke and I are going to into the book store!" They all just nodded.

"We're going to the food court!" Ino said pulling along a Shikamaru who inserted his own "What a drag…such a trouble some woman pulling me along…". I giggled, and pulled Sasuke towards the store.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Darn it!" I brushed my fingertips across the bottom of the seam of a book I was trying to reach. But all my trying went to waste, and the book stayed on the top self. Darn you book that you just HAD TO be the book I wanted, and HAD TO be on the friggin' top self…

"Here." A body pressed against my back, and a hand went taller than mine and plucked the book of the self. They put the book in my reaching hand, and I turned around to meet a smirking Sasuke. He always seemed to my daily rescues huh?

"So, tell me Pinky, how does it feel to be so short?" I gasped and stomped my way away from him. So what if he was only 2 and a half taller then I was…!

"Hey, I was only kid-" he stopped as he jumped on me pulling me away from a falling ladder.

"Eeeee!" I screeched as the store helper fell to the floor from the ladder that had been falling to the ground. I looked at Sasuke, blushed at noticing on how close we were, and asked him if he was ok when gathering up my smarts

"Yeah mostly, I just a small pain on my lower back." I nodded, pulled up his back shirt, seeing a small bruise. Nothing big. I looked at the floor.

"I have a feeling I'll be seeing more of these floors on and off today…just me and my always dumb luck."

"Your dumb luck? So meeting me and going to last night's club was dumb luck? All right…feel that way." He playfully crossed his arms and looked away. I gasped and hugged him.

"No! No, that not what I ment! I'm sorry!" He looked as if he was thinking about my 'sorry', and looked back at me.

"Ok…I forgive, only cuz' you're cute." He winked, making me blush and me looked away. Bu doing so I saw the other guy lying on the floor.

"Omega!" I said and ran to his side.

"Hey mister…Rob, you OK?" I said glancing at his name tag and helping him sit up. A crowd of people had gathered. Really, why was I the only one helping?!?!

"Uerrr…I don't know, my left arm hurts, OUCH!" He said as he tried to move it. I gently grabbed it, and held it close to my face to examine it.

"Swelling, bruises, pain when moving, and odd formation of bones. Looks like you broke you left arm bones or something like that Mr. Rob." I gave him a small sad smile and mentioned Sasuke to come help me get this guy up. When we got up, he turned to me and smiled.

"Thanks Miss. Really, with what you just told me, you should be a doctor some day!" I blushed and know what else, of course, I looked away. After a while from the small chaos, Sasuke and I walked away with FREE, yes, FREE books in the white with the blue logo bags.

"Hmm…you have great style, mind of a doctor, and a killer voice. Tell me Pinky, just what else can you do?" I kept on blushing and gasped when his hand grabbed mine in a nice embrace. I gazed at him. He looked at me for a while too, but looked away.

"I'm hungry, let's go meet the other guys and eat! I feel like tacos." I smiled, getting that this fluff was enough he could muster with that pride he was well known for, and walked with him to the food courts to see the questioning eyes looking at Sasuke and mine in-locked hands, of our friends.

"What happened you two?" I looked at Sasuke and he looked at me. I grinned.

"My dumb luck."
