AN: Helloooooo. I know long time no update. Me sorry. Don't kill me or if you do kill me in an interesting way at least. Anyway tis probably the longest chapter I have ever wrote so enjoy. By the way because I feel many people read the American English I just want to let you know last chapter when I said football match I meant soccer. Anyway again enjoy:


"Sakura-channnnnnnnnn, I'm Hungry. Where's the Ramen?" Naruto whined.

"There is no Ramen, you eat it way too much anyway. Bernard's gonna buy pizza for us if he hasn't already so shut up about food." Sakura shouted at him. Naruto instantly shut up knowing if he didn't he would get seriously beat up.

"How the hell do you put up with this guy, he's the most annoying person I've ever met." Temari whispered to Sakura receiving a laugh in reply.

"He grows on you after a while. Plus you learn ways to stop him from being annoying." Sakura whispered back.

Sakura looked around the room at the people within, all of them looked really bored now the football match had ended and so she decided on something to do. She walked out of the room and minutes later came back with an empty bottle which she placed on the ground.

"So who wants to play spin the bottle?" Sakura asked looking around the room at everyone. Most looked at her like she was insane while a few – Ino and Naruto- grinned like mad. Nobody however said anything though. "Let me rephrase that. If you don't want to die you will play."

Instantly everyone began forming a circle around the bottle knowing it was better not to distress the girl.

"I knew you'd all want to play. See I know you all so well." Sakura told them with a large smile on her face. Everyone else just sweat dropped, well apart form Ino and Naruto who actually did. "Everyone knows the rules right? I'll tell you all anyway just in case. Somebody spins the bottle and whoever and I do mean WHOEVER it lands on they have to kiss and it has to be a kiss on the lips."

Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy knowing they could possibly die if it landed on somebody else's partner. As for the guys they mainly feared it landing on another guy, kissing another guy on the lips was so gay.

"I don't want to have to kiss another guy." Naruto moaned. At this Ino began chuckling before reminding him of a certain kiss he shared with a certain raven-haired male who happened to be in this room a few years back.

"Oh my god, you seriously kissed Sasuke, that's hilarious." Sakura between laughing fits.

"No I didn't I was pushed into him. It just happens to be that we landed that I landed like that. It wasn't a kiss though." Naruto whined.

"No, course not. Cause when a guys lips ouch another guys lips it's not counted as a kiss" Ino said sarcastically laughing all the time.

"Can we just play" Naruto said to avoid the subject.

"Good idea." Sakura said.

First to spin the bottle was Ino who luckily for her landed on Shikamaru. She smirked while walking over to the lazy assed genius and planting a kiss on his lips. It was a short tender kiss which left Shikamaru wanting more. Evil Ino.

Next was Neji who spun it and landed on Tenten. Again a very lucky spin. They shared a kiss and Neji went back to his place In the circle. Seeing the luck on the spins Naruto grabbed the bottle wanting to get Hinata so he could kiss her without being murdered by her cousin. He spun the bottle and it began to slow down on Hinata but carried on a few centimetres more to land on the person sitting next to her. Gaara.

"Hell No!" Both Naruto and Gaara shouted.

"You have to, Tis the rules of the game, that or a dare given by me" Sakura said grinning evilly.

There is no way people want one of Sakura's dares. They can be the worst. People have ended up in hospital or prison because of them, and that was when Sakura was a kid, imagine how much her imagination has improved since. Naruto sulked and got up. He walked slowly over to Gaara who closed his eyes wishing to god that when he opened them he would not be there. He opened them and he was. After all that wishing as well. Poor guy. Naruto moved closer to Gaara and then their lips touched, at that very moment there was a flash and everyone turned to see Sakura with a camera laughing. By this time Naruto and Gaara had parted, actually they had parted as soon as their lips touched, unfortunately Sakura had taken the picture just in time. Now Though Naruto and Gaara were both pulling disgusted faces and were about to try and spit away the kiss they just shared until of course Sakura threatened them not to spit in her house.

The commotion soon calmed down and they got back to the game. Next to spin the bottle was Hinata who spun it and it landed on Kankuro who grinned at the fact. Naruto looked infuriated with the grin as did Neji and both decided to kill him later rather than disrupt the game and get murdered themselves by Sakura. Hinata kissed Kankuro quickly before sitting down again. The game carried on Kiba had to kiss Ino earning glares from Shikamaru, then Shino had to kiss Kiba, then Shikamaru who had to kiss Temari, then Kankuro who had to kiss Neji, then Sakura who had to kiss Temari, then Gaara who had to kiss Sakura, then Temari who had to kiss Kiba, then Tenten who got lucky and had to kiss Neji, and finally it got to Sasuke. He spun the bottle and watched as it spun hoping to god it did not land on one of the guys. It spun and spun until finally it slowed down and came to a halt pointing to Sakura.

Sakura looked at the bottle pointing at her and then to Sasuke who got up and began walking over to her. Her heart began to beat faster and she could feel her hands starting to become clammy.

"Why do I feel like this?" Sakura thought "I didn't have this reaction when Gaara kissed me. Why now? Why him?" Sakura thought

"Isn't it obvious, you have feelings for him. God you are so blind towards your own feelings. It's so lucky I'm here because if I wasn't you'd be alone forever never knowing that you have feelings for people. Hot people at that" Sakura's inner told her as she took in Sasuke's appearance as his face got closer to outer Sakura.

"I thought I told you to get lost earlier. You so fucking annoying." Sakura said

"I know but so are you because I am you and dif I am annoying then so must you be, see what I'm getting at here?"

"no. Go away"

And so inner went away and just in time to because as soon as Sakura tuned into the real world again Sasuke's lips touched hers and weirdly enough it felt incredible. It was the same as any kiss she had received in the past though. Maybe her inner was right, maybe she did have feelings for the Uchiha. Sakura wanted to deepen the kiss but as soon s he had come Sasuke went away. Sakura was sat there her mouth wide open as everybody stared at her. Most of the guys frowned knowing they will no longer win the bet and the girls smiled knowing that their friend may have finally met her match. Gaara however was not happy at the reaction from his pink haired friend. He had loved her for years. He had been rejected and told she was not ready for a relationship. Now she had been kissed by some guy she had known for a short amount of time and was looking like she wanted to marry him where as when he kissed her she did nothing. No matter though, he had his ways of getting Sakura instead of that guy.

"Sakura-chan, snap out of it." Gaara shouted at her while waving his hand infront of her never moving eyes. She did not and he heard a slight chuckle come from Sasuke. He was so angry at that, he knew it was because he thought he had her but he didn't, Gaara would make sure of that. He kissed Sakura also and suddenly Sakura came back to the world and realised Gaara was kissing her. She quickly pushed him away from her and looked at him with pure confusion.

"Why were you kissing me Gaara?" Sakura asked. Pain struck Gaara, she had not added the ever loved suffix to his name. She always added the suffix to his name.

"You were zoned out and I shouted you but you didn't realise so I tried something else. Looked like it worked." Gaara said covering up the fact that he had hoped he would make her even more dazed than the Uchiha therefore winning her over. Obviously though with his plan backfiring he had to come up with some sort of excuse.

"Well next time please do something else." Sakura asked him. She smiled and looked at all the staring faces and the almost laughing Sasuke. Her gaze stayed on him for quiet a while before she decided to speak. "What do you all want to do now?"

"10 minutes in heaven" Ino shouted out.

"We don't have enough girls for that." Sakura stated.

Ino glared at Shino, Kankuro + Gaara. Both Shino and Kankuro took the hint and said they wouldn't play however Gaara said nothing. Ino realised he was not going to give into her glares decided to instead glare at Kiba who also said he wouldn't play.

"Oh look we have enough now. I'm choosing who goes with who. Me and Shikamaru, Hinata and Naruto" Ino said earning a glare of Neji as he didn't want his cousin with Naruto in a closet for 10 minutes. "Tenten and Mr overprotective, Sakura and Sasuke and sorry Gaara your going to have to go with your sister, unless of course you don't want to play and then somebody else can come in instead."

"Hn, fine dog boy can go with her." Gaara said.

"Wow, someone's grumpy. Ah well. Sakura, you and Sasuke can go first." Ino said. "Where is your closet?" Ino asked. Sakura got up and walked to a room next to that one.

"All the closets are too far away so we'll just use this room instead Sakura said as she unlocked it and went into the… well it was just a random room really. She then put the keys on the sideboard next to the door and went into the room, Sasuke walked in afterwards. Ino then shut the door. She began to walk back to the rest of the group when she had a great idea. She went back to the door, grabbed the keys and locked it before returning.

With Sasuke and Sakura

The two teens sat on a sofa within the room looking at each other. Both just stared wondering what the hell they should do. They knew they were meant to kiss and stuff but what the rest of the group didn't know couldn't hurt them.

"Soooooo, what do you want to do Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked. She looked at him as he thought of what to do. Then suddenly he remembered something from earlier that day.

"What did my father mean about your parents?" Sasuke asked.

" Sasuke… I'd rather not talk about it." Sakura said.

She looked away a tear rolling down her cheek as a memory passed through her mind. Sasuke suddenly felt guilty but he wanted to help her and couldn't if he didn't know what had happened. He gently lay his hand on Sakura's cheek and made her look at him. He smiled at her as he wiped away her tears.

"You don't have to tell me Sakura, but it would be nice if you did, maybe I can help you somehow." Sasuke told her.

"Nobody can help me Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as the tears rolled down her face once more.

"At least let me try. Please tell me Sakura." Sasuke pleaded. She looked into his eyes and could see that he truly did want to help her and so she took a breath and began to tell him about her parents.

"When I said my parents were away I was lying. There not away, but there not here either. They haven't been with me for a long long time. You see they were m…m…murd…ered" the tears running down Sakura's face suddenly increased. "I was only young at the time yet I remember it so clearly. We had just got home from a party and we were all so tired. My mother ordered me off to bed and so I went. Her and my father stayed up though. I must of only just drifted off when I heard a scream, my mothers scream. I jumped out of bed and ran to the stairs, I peered down and infront of me I could see the front door open and a strange man was stood within it holding a gun. I looked around the hallway and I saw my father bleeding on the floor. He had been shot in the shoulder, which is why my mother had cried. I instantly ran down towards my parents. My mother looked at me with horror. She hadn't wanted me to come down and now that I had it was too late. I hadn't cared much though I was too worried about my father. I hugged him and he hugged me back. He whispered to me and told me to protect myself no matter what. He made me promise not to die. I did. It took a few minutes before my father fell unconscious and d…died. I was so angry and upset. I wanted revenge so I stood up and charged at the man, my mother grabbed for my arm to pull me back towards her but she missed and I carried on running for him. At the time I didn't care if he shot me or anything all I could think about was my father lying dead on the floor because of this mystery man. He looked at me with humour and as I got close to him he fired his gun and shot me in the shoulder, not enough to kill me but hurt me, I carried on running at him though and I reached him I kicked him, but it didn't even make him flinch. He picked me up and as much as I struggled to get out of his grasp I was unable to. He got a chair and tied me to it. He told me that he planned to make me watch as he killed my mother. He told me it was my fault he was going to kill her because I had tried to stop him. He had apparently only planned on killing my father so he didn't have to repay him the money he borrowed. My mother of course had attempted to help me when he picked me up so by this time he was holding my mother by her hair. He then ripped off my mothers clothes and raped her as I watched. He found it hilarious. I couldn't look away I was so shocked. I tried to get out to help her and I actually got a hand free. The man noticed and he told me I would have my turn. Once he had finished raping my mother and beaten her up to the extent that she couldn't even move he shot her in the head and she died instantly. He then came towards me and told me it was my turn. He punched me in the face as a warning not to try anything. Then he cut the ropes holding me there with a knife he was carrying, of course I tried to run and he stabbed me for it. He was actually going to rape me until we both heard police sirens close by and before we knew it there were police outside shouting to the man to come out with his hands up in the air. The man looked worried but he had plan. He grabbed me and put his knife against my throat before walking out. He began speaking to the police. He told them if they attempted to get him he would kill me. So the police let him through and he ran to a truck with me. He placed me inside and then went round to his side. It was then that I made my escape. He hadn't thought that I'd actually get out of the truck. I got out and ran towards the police. The man noticed and got in his truck as fast as he could driving away, before he did though he promised he would kill me. Fortunately the police were able to catch him but he put up a fight and he ended up dead. I can't say I didn't want him to die either. He deserved more than death. He killed my father after my father lent him money just so he wouldn't have to pay it back. He was sick. I wish he had got more than he did. He deserved so much more."

Sasuke was in shock, he had no idea what to say. He could say sorry but he knew she wouldn't want that. He knew that sorry didn't do anything and besides what is there to be sorry aboutu. People think sorry helps but it doesn't. It just makes things worse. People pity you it's the only reason they say it and there pity makes you feel worse.

"It wasn't your fault Sakura." Sasuke told her. She looked at him with shock, she hadd expected the sorry thing, the pity not this though. "Am I right in thinking you feel it was your fault just because he said it was?"

"It was, if I hadn't been so angry my mother would still be here." Sakura said to Sasuke as her tears flowed more viciously. "If I had been strong enough I could have done something. I was weak though and he was able to pick me up easily. He could have done anything to me without me being able to do a thing."

"It wasn't your fault seriously. Sakura he may have told you he wasn't going to kill your mother but he was. He would have killed you too even if you hadn't charged at him. You had both seen him, you could describe him to the police and so he couldn't risk having you both live. As for your strength, do you really expect anyone at your age to be able to stop a guy a lot older than them, especially when that person has a gun." Sasuke told her

"I still could have done something. If I had stayed upstairs I could have phoned the police so they got there earlier and an ambulance. Maybe my father would have survived also then." Sakura said.

"Sakura it wasn't your fault and I know that both your mum and dad would want you to stop beating yourself up about it. The guys say you moved around a lot. I'm guessing that's because you were scared of getting close to people and having them killed like your family. You need to understand that death happens no matter what though. You couldn't have done anything to save them. I'm sure wherever they are there just happy you didn't die. You kept your promise to your father." Sasuke said.

Sakura looked at him. It had never occurred to her before that she had kept her promise. Her father would be proud. No not her father her daddy. Something she had not called him since his death. Maybe her mummy would be happy too. She had risked her life to save Sakura and succeeded. They would both be happy. They'd be looking down at her now form heaven smiling at her thanking Kami-sama that she was alive.

"Sasuke, thank you." Sakura said. She kissed him on the lips. He kissed back then she deepened the kiss, licking his lip begging for entrance. He however did not give her straight away entrance and instead let his tongue make it's way into her mouth. The kiss started getting really heated but suddenly Sasuke stopped kissing her and retreated back. Sakura looked at him confused. "What's wrong, I thought you liked me?"

"I do, that's the problem. I have to tell you something Sakura before you decide you want to be with me." Sasuke aid. She looked at him and nodded. "Sakura when you first got here I made a bet with the Naruto. He bet that I couldn't get you to go out with me within a month, which is why I suddenly asked you out when you were in my room that time. Don't ill the dobe though I've realised that he actually only did it because he wants me to be happy with someone and probably you too. Which is why everyone else didn't tell you about it already. I really thought I could win and I was a jerk about it and I should have even accepted the bet but I'm an idiot and I did. The thing is I've got to know you better and now I really do like you. Love you possibly. I thought you have the right to know so now you do."

Sakura had tears running down her face again. She couldn't believe Naruto had done that, for her happiness or not. What if Sasuke hadn't fallen in love with her, then what? She just be left heart broken. Of course though he had and he even told her about the bet. Wait didn't this happen to Temari, now she knows how she must have felt slightly. Except she would have felt worse cause the guy didn't like her back. Poor Temari. Finally Sakura wiped her tears and looked at Sasuke who looked at her hoping beyond hope she would forgive him. She got closer to him and once again kissed him.

"I forgive you Sasuke-kun. At least you told me before the deadline. Plus you really do like me so I suppose it's alright. It would be too late if you didn't tell me anyway, I've already fallen for you and even if you hated me I wouldn't let you go" Sakura said with a smirk as she once again started kissing Sasuke. Again it became quiet a heated kiss.

Unfortunatly for them half way through Ino opened the door and came in with the rest of the gang behind her. All of them were shocked you could say. Non had actually expected them to kiss or anything. Just become closer. Gaara however did not look shocked he looked angry. Sasuke and Sakura were both looking at the gang and smirking/smiling. They both got up and as soon as they did Gaara went charging at Sasuke and managed to punch him in the jaw. Sakura stood shocked and Sasuke looked at him angrily. Oddly enough though he did not fight back.

"What's wrong Uchiha, scared you'll get beat? Fight me why don't you. I mean if you can have the cheek to steal my girl then obviously you can fight me. Now fight." Gaara said.

"What the hell Gaara. What are you talking about? Sasuke didn't steal me I was never yours to begin with. I know you liked me and I admit I liked you for a while but we never had anything going on. Your just being an idiot wanting to fight him." Sakura shouted at him.

"Shut up Sakura. We were meant to be together not you and him. You said you weren't ready, that's the only reason we didn't go out your obviously ready now so why not me?" Gaara asked.

"Maybe I wasn't ready for a reason, because deep down in my heart I knew you weren't the one for me. Gaara please don't be stupid, you'll find a nice girl who isn't me and fall in love. I'm not that girl though. Just leave Sasuke alone, it's not his fault I love him" Sakura shouted again.

"You l…love him" he stuttered "How, you've only known him for a short time, how can you love him?"

"I have no idea but I do." Sakura said confused by her own feelings. "Maybe it's because he's real, he shows what he feels not what others want him to feel."

Sasuke smiled! And wrapped his arms around Sakura from behind. She also smiled and leaned into him. Gaara looked at her and saw how happy Sakura was. He could actually see her love for Uchiha and he knew even if he forced her to go out with him she would never love him like that.

"Hurt her and I'll personally kill you Uchiha." Gaara said.

"I wouldn't dare, there's a list a mile long of people willing to kill me if I hurt her and I'd be the first." Sasuke said.

"Awwwww who knew Sasuke could be soooo sweet" Ino said.

"Ye Teme, who knew you had it in you" Naruto winked.

"Oh that reminds me Dobe, you win. I give up. So whatever car you want it's yours." Sasuke said. That's triggered something off in Sakura and suddenly she charged at Naruto and beat him to a pulp, shouting at him for ages for making the bet and she also had a good moan at everyone else for not telling her but she didn't hurt them. Yet.

The rest of the sleepover was like any normal sleepover. The pizza's came and they ate, they watched some films, played truth and dare not ever taking dares from Sakura and told scary stories before going to bed. A good night some would say. Others would say it sucked though. Poor Gaara.
