Angel: It's the next chapter. I didn't expect to get those kind of reviews! Thank you so much!

Review again okay?? Hehe…

Chapter 18: A fight for Sakura?

"So what is it? You want to fight me for Sakura? You know even I call her a Hag, she's the most beautiful girl I have met. And I really like her, so the winner gets her" explained Sai

"I was wondering when will you stop" Sasuke glared at Sai "I will definitely win…"

"You wish" Sai smirked as he disappeared in a flash.

Sasuke looked around. Not seeing Sai, Sasuke performed some hand seals. "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu! (1)" Sasuke started to shoot fire balls around hitting trees which where Sai was hiding.

Sai, who had been found out started to run around Sasuke throwing kunais. While Sasuke was dodging each kunai, he took out a large scroll and his brush. "Chōjū Giga! (2)" Sai yelled as countless of birds and lions came out of his scroll.

Sasuke ,again, performed some seals. "Chidori!" Blue lighting came out f Sasuke's right hand as he attack Sai's ink creatures.

The battle between the two was amazing; no one was opening a weak spot. Both of them were doing their best.

Gaara frowned. He didn't like any part of this. Sakura would be the one hurt to see this. He slammed his fist on the tree beside him crushing it into pieces. "Damn…" He muttered.

"Gaara.." Temari putted a hand over his brother's shoulder.

"This is just not fair." Gaara glared at the two, Sasuke and Sai. "Sakura wouldn't like this."

"I know, but it's the only way to stop Sasuke"

"That's what I hate about it. It's for that Sasuke not for Sakura"

Temari shook her head. She squeezed Gaara's shoulder a little before leaving him, she went to the unconscious Sakura. "Hey wake up girl, you are so needed here"

Ino, who was tending her, looked at Temari. "Gaara wouldn't calm down?"

She sighed. "Yeah, he's too troubled about the fact Sasuke and Sai are fighting over Sakura."

"Typical Gaara"

After a few seconds, Sakura stirred. Ino blinked. "Sakura?"

Sakura opened her eyes. She stared at Ino.

------

I opened my eyes and saw Ino's orbs staring at me. I felt my head ache. "Ino?" I started

I tried to sit up. But I failed. "What happened? Is everyone okay?"

"Sakura, lot's of things happened" Ino bit her lip. That's not a good sign.

I held my head as a string of pain rushed inside my head. "Aaahhh!" I started to yell. It's killing me! "My head!!!"

"Sakura?!" Ino yelled. Though she said something else. I couldn't hear it clearly. The pain is so throbbing.

"Ino…" I started to mumble. I closed my eyes as I roll on the floor, my hand still hugs my head. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……………

I don't know what happened but I felt some one tap me on the shoulder releasing all the pain.

I slowly opened my eyes.

"Sakura, are you all right?" Ino asked me.

I nodded. I couldn't utter a word.

"That's good. You were exhausted from the sudden discharge of chakra from your body before. While you were unconscious, I opened your charka points so my charka can flow down to your body. But you waking up and my chakra clashes with your own made a painful impact in your head." Ino explained

"Oh" I sat up. "So what really happened here?"

"Well, to make it short. Sasuke made revenge for you. He killed every enemy in sight. But…" Ino trailed off. This is bad… really bad.

I started to hear other people. Kunai's clashing. Fire's blazing. I slowly turned my body around to see…

--------

"You're going down Sasuke!" Sai said as he disappeared.

Sasuke looked around. He then smirked. "You won't win this game." He said as he punched the ground. The large impact cracked the whole ground with Sai popping out.

"The oldest trick in the book" Sasuke commented as he attacked Sai. "Game over" He said as he held Sai's collar with a kunai pointed to Sai's neck. He was about to slash him when…

"SASUKE-KUN!" He heard Sakura scream.

He turned his head to see Sakura standing, eyes were full of tears.

"Sa..Sakura.." Sasuke stuttered as he looked at his beloved girlfriend.

"Sasuke-kun…" She looked at him like she had never seen her before. "BAKA!!!"

Sasuke dropped Sai on the ground. Staring blankly at Sakura.

Fits of laughter could be heard from his rival.

Sakura stomped towards Sasuke. She grabbed his collar.

"You're so stupid Sasuke!" She spitted out before kissing him.

Sasuke's eyes grew wide, and then slowly he closed his eyes enjoying the kiss.

At the background, their friends were smiling. Watching the couple make out and feeling all the troubles are gone. Sai stood up from where he was before and started to walk towards the group. He didn't dare to look back, feeling a small pang of pain inside his heart.

Sasuke's curse seal faded as Sakura pulled away to breath. "Baka, you don't have to fight for me. I'm yours from the start" She smiled and hugged Sasuke "Thank you" before falling asleep in Sasuke's arms.

He smiled a he picked her up and carried her bridal style.

Sasuke walked back to the group. Sai eyed her. Gaara glared, then sighing after wards.

"Make her suffer again, I am so gonna kill you" Sai said with a smiling face.

-------

"Morning sleepy head" Sakura heard Sasuke said as she woke up that morning.

"Morning Sasuke-kun" Sakura replied, she kissed him before sitting up. She snuggled beside Sasuke, smiling. She inhaled her boyfriend scent which she missed for quite sometime.

"You feeling better?" Sasuke asked as he kissed her forehead.

She nodded. "Better than ever." She replied as she snuggled closer. Sasuke sighed.

"Sakura, we have to get up. We're going back to Konoha in a few hours" He stood up causing Sakura to fall down on the bed.

"You are so mean." Sakura giggled before standing up.

"Every one's in the dinning room, eating breakfast" He walked towards the door. "Coming?"

"Nah, you go ahead. I'll just stay here for a while" She smiled at him as Sasuke left. She walked towards the window. Looking outside she saw the sun rising. "Glad everything is over now." She closed the curtains. "I hope nothing else goes wrong." She said as she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

-------

Sakura walked down the hall way when she heard a scream coming from the dinning room. She bit her lit as she ran. And here she though everything was over.

Sakura burst into the room. Every one's eye was on her. "What happened?"

Ino stepped forward. "Sakura, this is very important…"
