Chapter 6) Finale

Sakura's green eyes slowly opened as the sun's rays radiantly shined on her peach face. When she was truly up, the pink haired medic found herself next to her boyfriend, naked. Her peach face started to redden as she looked around the room. No, she wasn't in her usual dorm room, and her clothes were scattered on the floor. With her cheeks burning, she realized what had happened last night, and she immediately started gathering her articles of clothing.

Sasuke opened his eyes, and smiled at the sight of his lover. He walked over to her, and wrapped his arms around her, nibbling at her ear.

"Good morning, Sa-ku-ra." Sasuke greeted.

"I can't believe we did it last night…." Sakura said, picking up her shirt. "I can't remember any of it…."

"You can't remember you put on a flattering bunny outfit and danced for me?" Sasuke asked.

"WHAT?!" Sakura asked.

"Just kidding." Sasuke said, picking up his clothes.

"Stupid." Sakura muttered, walking to the bathroom.

Sasuke laughed, and followed her into the shower.

"Aren't you coming to Tennis practice?" Hana asked.

"No, I can't. I'm sick." KiKi replied.

Hana felt her roommate's forehead, and instantly let go. "Ouch, you have a fever. Want me to get you anything?" Hana asked.

"No, I'm fine. I just need to rest in bed. You should go, now, Hana. Maybe you should find Sasuke on the way over there, too." KiKi suggested.

Hana smiled. "Okay, bye KiKi!" Hana waved, and shut the door behind her.

KiKi listened to the footsteps until they disappeared, and she jumped out of her bed, and dashed to the window. Looking through the glass, her eyes watched Hana walk toward the tennis courts, and once the coast was clear, KiKi started her plan.

Slipping into the school cafeteria, she silently started to cook her specialty. When she heard the double doors opening, KiKi smiled, and pulled out the special treat from the microwave. She finished with complete care and skill, and placed it onto the counter. Swiftly cleaning up, she left a note, and dashed out of the kitchen to activate the second phase of her golden plan.

"I'm so hungry." Sakura complained, walking into the cafeteria kitchen.

"Why?" Sasuke asked, still sleepy.

"Because I didn't eat dinner at all last night." Sakura answered.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

"What's this….?" Sakura asked Sasuke, pointing to the plate of spaghetti on the counter.

She picked up the note, and read aloud: "Sorry about Karin and Hana."

Sakura shrugged, and was about to dig in when Sasuke stopped her.

"You shouldn't go around eating random food, especially if the note mentions Karin and Hana." Sasuke explained. Sakura looked at him with puppy dog eyes, letting out a whimper or two. She was really hungry, and Sasuke sighed.

"Hn, go ahead." Sasuke mumbled.

Sakura smiled, and hugged him. He sighed again, and picked up a pair of chopsticks.

"I'm trying it first, though. Just in case…" Sasuke insisted, taking a bite of the noodles covered in tomato sauce. He chewed on it slowly, and then swallowed with a dramatic gulp.

"Hn." Was all he could mutter, and gave her the chopsticks. Sakura hesitantly slurped a few noodles up, and her eyes widened.

Sakura collapsed on the floor, her eyes slowly closing. "Sa-su-ke…." Sakura stuttered uneasily, before going completely unconscious. Sasuke's vision was getting blurry as well, but he tried his best to cling to what he could see. Before completely fading into black, he could see a teenage girl walk up to him with an innocent smile on her face.

"Good night." The girl said, and the Uchiha fell into mental abyss.

"Sa…ku…ra…." Sasuke huffed, his black eyes opening.

The raven haired boy found himself at a small park, and several little kids played around him. KiKi walked up to him, with worried eyes, and reached out a hand.

"Are you alright, Sasuke-kun?" KiKi asked, her long brown hair bouncing in the wind.

"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked, pulling himself up from the grass.

"Who is Sakura?" KiKi asked, a puzzled look replacing her worried one.

"Sakura Haruno." Sasuke answered, looking around the park.

"I don't know a Sakura Haruno…." KiKi said, looking up at the sky as if she was trying to recall such a name.

"Where the hell am I?" Sasuke asked.

"You don't remember?" KiKi asked, her eyes looking at him innocently. "This is our first month anniversary, so you took me to the park. We were playing tag when you hit your head on a slide and blacked out." She explained.

"What? First month anniversary? Since when would I even want to go out with you?" Sasuke asked, his cold expression staring at her.

KiKi's eyes started to tear, and she embraced him. "Please, don't say that, Sasuke-kun! You don't remember anything about us, do you?!" KiKi cried, tears rolling down her cheek.

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked.

"It's me, KiKi! We've been childhood friends, and a month ago you asked me out. It made me the happiest girl in the whole world!" KiKi cried, embracing him tighter.

"Eh…?" Sasuke asked, still puzzled.

A few feet away from KiKi and Sasuke, Sakura woke up on the lush grass. She shot up, and looked around herself, confused. Her eyes then saw Sasuke, and KiKi, embracing. Extremely confused, she tried to get up, but couldn't move. Her arms and legs were tied with simple grass knots, but she couldn't move an inch closer to them.

"Sasuke-kun, help me!" Sakura shouted.

There was no response, like Sasuke didn't even hear her. Trembling, Sakura called his name again, but no answer. She screamed for help, but no help arrived. She squirmed in the lush grass, trying to break the knots, but they wouldn't budge. Her emerald eyes then noticed a strange lime green glow over the grass blades that held her down.

"Chakra!" Sakura gasped.

It made sense, the chakra was keeping her down, and it was also blocking her entirely from Sasuke. Sakura was certain that one person could hear her cries for help, and that person was none other than KiKi! She had been behind all this, the spaghetti, the knockout, the illusion! Sakura watched the two in terror, as KiKi tried to convince Sasuke that she was his girlfriend.

"No, you couldn't have been my childhood friend. You are not my girlfriend, Sakura is." Sasuke said, pushing her away from him.

More tears strolled down KiKi's face. "I see, you wish to date some imaginary girl you pictured while you were knocked out. Am I not enough for you? What kind of girl was she, Sasuke? You told me that I was your one and only…" KiKi said, looking at him with begging eyes.

Sasuke stared straight at them, and he couldn't feel any connection with her. When he looked into Sakura's eyes, he would always feel a spark of happiness, but with KiKi, it was all lies to him. He turned his head away, not believing a word she said.

"Fine, if I cannot convince you with my words, then maybe I can convince you with my actions!" KiKi cried, and kissed Sasuke on the lips to get the full effect.

A stunned Sakura froze, and she clenched her teeth. She blinked, trying to see if it was true or not, and felt fresh teardrops fall from her eyes. The shock didn't last for long, because Sakura's eyes narrowed, and she tightened her fists.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM, YOU DESPERATE BITCH!" Sakura screamed, trying hard to break free from the chakra knots.

It was no use, the chakra was draining away her power, and she was starting to feel uneasy again. She watched KiKi's eyes glare at her, and watched Sasuke break free from the kiss that seemed to last forever. KiKi smiled at Sakura, and then quickly changed her expression when her eyes trailed back to Sasuke.

"Do you believe me now, Sasuke-kun?" KiKi asked.

Sasuke didn't know what to believe. KiKi's kiss was defiantly not fake, but he still felt suspicious of his "one month girlfriend." KiKi stared up at him with determined and innocent eyes.

"Do you still think you were in love with someone with pink hair?" KiKi asked.

Sasuke's eyes widened, and he smirked. "How did you know she has pink hair?" He asked.

KiKi stepped back, realizing she had just ruined her own plan. "I-I guessed…" KiKi stuttered.

Sasuke slapped the brown haired girl. "She's here, isn't she? Where is she?" Sasuke said, giving her his infamous death glare.

KiKi started to crawl back, scared. She bumped into Sakura, and that's when Sasuke found out that Sakura was there, yet invisible. He knew that KiKi had bumped into something, and she couldn't have bumped into complete air. He understood KiKi's plan now, and gave her his icy glare.

"You're one desperate bitch. Go fuck off." Sasuke said, and looked up at the sky.

As he expected, the sky cracked. KiKi ran off, and the crack grew. The sky started to shatter, and Sakura started appearing before him more and more. He cut off the grass knots with a simple release jutsu, and hugged her tightly. The park around them started to break, and Sasuke found himself in the cafeteria kitchen again.

Sakura's eyes opened, and she found herself in Sasuke's arms. "What happened?" Sakura asked, in a weak voice, unable to remember anything.

"It's nothing…." Sasuke said.

"Why are we here again?" Sakura asked, looking around the kitchen.

"To finish some business." Sasuke answered, and carried her out of the kitchen.

In the dorm room, Ino was relieved to see that Sakura was fine. When she asked what had happened the other night, the two blushed, and Ino giggled. Sakura looked up at Sasuke, who was still carrying her bridal style.

"I love you, Sasuke." Sakura said happily.

"I love you too." Sasuke replied.

Ino giggled again. "The day is still young, so get out there and enjoy the sunshine!" Ino insisted, pushing them out of the dorm room.

"Bye, Ino, and thank you!" Sakura called, and Sasuke gave her a simple nod. Ino grinned, waving goodbye.

"It's all worth it, alright." Ino sighed, watching the couple disappear. The blonde then turned her head towards three girls with guilty expressions on their faces. "Now about that whole expelled thing…."

"So, Sakura, what do you want to do today?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura's stomach growled. "I would really like some dinner…." Sakura said nervously.

Sasuke laughed, and carried her all the way to the restaurant they went to on their first date. He knew exactly what to get her. A nice bowl of ramen. One bowl. Two chopsticks.
