Author's NOTE: Hey you guys!! Merry Christmas everyone! I updated Promises here for u! Even if I needed 14 reviews and was missing one but, oh well! Here's my present from me to all my readers. Please Review!!


For the next couple of days Sakura was still sick so she stayed home.. While Sasuke began to stray away from her hoping that the plan Ino and him made would work. Itachi as usual, was always seeing Sakura everyday after school helping her catch up with homework..

One evening Sakura who was in her pajamas asked, "Umm.. Itachi, did I do something wrong to make sasuke angry at me?" Itachi said, "What?" Sakura said glumly, "He hasn't been talking to me at all lately. What has he been doing at school without me there?"

Itachi didn't want to make Sakura even more sad.. He knew his foolish little brother was simply jealous that sakura and him were together.. so he was hanging out with that Ino girl..

Itachi simply replied, "Don't mind my foolish brother just focus on your work." She sighed and combed her pink hair and said, "I guess.." He dangerously said, "Am I wrong?" She was red.. he was so close to her.. She said, "Umm. Itachi-kun, you shouldn't be this close to.."

Itachi cut her off by saying quickly, "You talk too much." and with that they were kissing again.. A knock came to the door that disturbed them.. "Sakura! Itachi! Time for dinner!!"


His mom yelled. they moved away from each other and she said, "I guess, we should go then." he smirked, "Not without me." with that he held her hand aww..

Sasuke who was right behind them walking down the hall.. seeing them exchanging romantic looks and holding hands.. How in the world would he separate the two?

Mitoki smiled and said, "I was right about you two." They both avoided eye contact and blushed. She said, "I'm just so glad a girl like you are in his life. He needs a girl like that.. You've certainly changed him for the better."

They all began eating seeing Sasuke was eating so quickly not even looking her way. She sighed. Didn't she already explain to him that she really liked him a lot as a best friend? Did she want to hurt him like this no! Never! It was just she already in love with his brother..

The one who was different, unique, mysterious.. the one that drew her in.. Even if he was a bit over-confident cocky loser.. but he had changed since they met.


Mitoki smiled, "I hope you go to school tomorrow Sakura." Sakura said, "Don't worry I am! i can't burden itachi with helping me with all my classes." Itachi muttered, "It doesn't matter.. I mean..you do need help anyways."

Sakura yelled, "What did you say bastard!!?" She grabbed the chair ready to throw it at Itachi. She threw it but, sadly missed by a couple of inches.. She chased him around the dining room, "ITACHI GET BACK HERE! HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS TYPE OF THING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!"

Itachi grabbed her from behind and said, "Relax.." he let his fingers brush through her long pink hair and kissed her again. She relaxed her shoulders and hugged him while they kissed.

Sasuke just got up and left.. He couldn't believe it. Even when Itachi said stupid mean things.. It only made them closer..

NEXT DAY: before school started Sakura got dressed and got ready early hoping to talk to Sasuke before they went to school. There he was.. She said, "Umm.. Sasuke.."

He just kept walking..ignoring her.. She said, "Sasuke! Please!!" She finally got fed up and got in his way and stood in the way of his path.. She said, "Listen to me! I want to know what's wrong ever since I got sick you've been avoiding me!"


Sasuke flatly said, "I have no idea what you're talking about." She said, "Sasuke, please talk to me. Come on we're friends we can work this out." Sasuke glared at her and said, "We're not friends." He brushed past her..

She stood there stunned.. Not..friends? Itachi who was standing in the door way with the school uniform on.. School uniforms ick.. it hard to make anyone look good.. save a couple of people that made anything look.. hot..

Itachi stood there sexily and she said, "I-Itachi-kun!" He walked over to her and said, "What happened?" She said, "I-I tried to talk to Sasuke I really did! but, he doesn't want to talk to me.."

Itachi said, "What did I tell you before? Forget him.." As he led her to the car she couldn't help to think of all the nice things Sasuke had done for her.. cheering her up, taking her shopping, making breakfast for her, buying her dream wedding dress..

it makes sense now.. he did those things because he loved you idiot.. As Sakura got out of the car with Itachi more and more people were whispering. "See I told you!" "She's officially his girl now." "Look at them.."


So indeed they looked like the perfect couple.. Itachi yelled, "Get out of our way and stop staring!" Itachi's fan girls were hounding Sakura in homeroom. "Hey pinky! Why are you dating Itachi! He's wayy too hot for you."

Another fan girl said, "He's just having a fling obviously having a fling with her.. Remember Itachi has kissed every single girl at this high school."

Sakura ignored the comments. She stalked off. Tenten came in and said, "Ohh my good!! you're dating the guy that stole my first kiss!" She said, "Well.." tenten said, "No problem, but I thought you hated him."

Sakura said, "A lot of things happened since I last saw you. SO how are you and Neji?" She turned pink and said, "Well, we're starting to talk a lot more.. and I'm watching his basketball game today." She grinned and said, "That's good." Tenten said, "What about Sasuke?"


Sakura said, "What about him!? he's been ignoring since 3 days ago and he has been hanging around ino lately right?" Tenten quietly said, "Yea, he has. What happened.." Sakura's expression darkened and she muttered, "I don't want to talk about it.. mainly because I have no idea."

Tenten said, "Well, no problem there you have me, Neji and Itachi who is a obnoxious hot guy but, he must be special for something right?" Sakura grinned, "Yea." She loved Itachi but, that didn't mean she was going to abandon all hope and not look for the promised guy.

She still wanted to meet him. Everywhere she went whispers followed her, "That's her Itachi's girl." "She must be something if "the itachi uchiha" is going out with her.." "I heard he's only been using her to..."

the bell rang as she dashed to class.. how could these people say such mean things.. AP us history class once again.. The teacher droned on, "The Civil war between the north and the south... " She needed to tune him out and relax..

Itachi tugged on her shirt and whispered, "Hey genius, you were supposed to talk notes then." She whispered back, "You're not serious! Give me your notes!" Itachi said, "Nahh, get your own."


She said, "B-But you're my boyfriend aren't you supposed to help me!?" The guy behind her said, "You could borrow mine Sakura-chan." She turned to see a guy with black hair and glasses on. She smiled and said, "You helped me the other day didn't you? With the Ap us homework! thanks!"

He said, "No problem." She said, "By the way what's your name?" He stammered," H-Hiro.." She just smiled again and said, "Nice to meet you Hiro!" As their AP Us history class ended Itachi walked sakura to her next class as always but, she was mad at him already.

He said, "Come on talk to me." She continued walking and said, "Nope, see you later." Ignoring him she kept walking to her next class. Which was lunch.. She came to the table Sasuke and her usually sat at and he was nowhere in sight..

She sighed and sat alone.. Sasuke was still mad at her.. Her eyes searched the huge cafeteria to find him sitting with Ino.. the president of the itachi-fan club.. Sigh.. if she couldn't trust sasuke who could she trust?

Someone pulled up a chair and sat by her. He said, "Hey." Her eyes widened in surprise and said, "H-Hiro!" She smiled and said, "Hey, thanks for saving me for sitting alone." He said, "Anything for you."


She grinned. Hiro said, "So, Sasuke is mad at you huh?" She nodded, "I think he's jealous of his brother and I being together. Especially that whole newspaper frenzy last week." He said, "Right, you were in the paper.. something about a promised guy?"

She turned red with embarrassment and said, "Yea, I used to live around here but, I moved to America and this boy and I promised we'd meet each other again..He was very sweet to me.. I miss him.. This is why I came here."

He said, "Have you found him yet?" She said, "Nope! Knowing me though, he's probably right under my nose right?" She laughed. He just simply smiled.

He said, "To help you with Sasuke I think he has a best friend.. his name is Naruto.. He's nothing like Sasuke.." She said, "Really! I should meet him and try to clear this up.."

She said, "Umm.. H-Hiro.. is he in our lunch?" Hiro said, "I don't think so.. Unless.. we missed him.." Suddenly two arms came around sakura. She screamed, "AHH!"

The guy removed his two arms and grabbed a chair and said, "So, you're the cute sakura-chan sasuke was talking about." She said, "Cute?" The blonde guy smiled and said, "Yup, by the way my name is Naruto Uzumaki.. Sasuke's best friend and rival."

"Y-You're Naruto?" She asked. He smiled and said, "I know you probably thought I was some cold hearted person right?" She said, "What are you talking about!! Sasuke is a kind person!"


Hiro said, "Actually before you came here..he was pretty mean to people.." She sighed, "Well he's being mean to me now.." Naruto said, "He always talked about you ever since you arrived here. Especially your little shopping trip to the bridal shop.. which I had to beat out of him."

Sakura turned red and explained," Well I'm supposed to marry my promise guy and found this perfect dress. It was gorgeous! sasuke wanted me to get it so he bought it for me."

Hiro said, "Wow, he must really like you." Naruto said, "He's just probably super jealous you're with Itachi now." Hiro said, "Y-You're with Itachi!?" She chuckled, "And I thought it was all over the school since that newspaper frenzy last week!"

Hiro said, "He's not that nice of a boyfriend not letting you copy notes!" Sakura laughed, "Yea, but that's how he shows his affection for me. Lately he's been doing better on that."

She turned red, "I still want to find the guy that promise me..whether I choose to be with him or not. Be right back!"

Sakura dashed to the lunch line. Naruto lowered his voice and said, "Hiro, she doesn't remember does she?" Hiro said, "She will eventually.."


They both gazed at the girl who laughing and talking to someone else. That girl doesn't deserve heartbreak..she was just soo.. soo.. Pure.. innocent..

Across the room onyx eyes were glaring at the girl that was happy even if Sasuke wasn't talking to her.. Ino said, "Are you listening Sasuke!? That boy Hiro over there will be the perfect thing that will ruin Sakura and itachi's relationship!"

Sasuke turned over towards Ino and said, "I'm listening." Ino said, "Well.." As Ino continued to explain her plan Sasuke smirked in delight and said, "It's perfect."

As their eyes were on Sakura who just got back to her lunch table laughing with Naruto and Hiro.

Sakura said, "Wow, Naruto I think you should sit with Hiro and I everyday from now on you're hilarious! I think we'll become great friends."

Naruto and Hiro looked at each other for a moment and smiled at Sakura. It was the beginning of a wonderful friendship..


PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER:

What happens when sasuke's plan goes into action?

Itachi said, "I can't believe this! Sakura how could you!"

She said, "You don't understand! please let me explain!"

He said, "I don't think needs any explanation thank you very much."

He stalked off and leaving a sobbing confused sakura.

When sakura has no one to turn to who does she turn to?

Sobbing sakura in her bedroom and grabbed her phone and dialed the numbers.

She still couldn't believe what had happened..

A voice came from the other side of the phone.. "Sakura, what's wrong?"

She weakly said, "H-Hiro, I need you."

What happens when some memories begin to return to sakura

She blinked twice how could she forget that.. She was at Hiro's house and found a picture of sakura, him, and naruto together smiling.

Hiro said, "I have some snacks."

She looked at him and said, "We were friends once before? Does this mean you know who my promised guy is?"

He simply said, "Yes, I do."
