A/N: Hello once again! This is chapter 8 for Hello NY, please enjoy and review!

Oh I HAVE to warn you guys, I am introducing other character parings AND there would be some OOC-ness for Sakura. But it will all make sense when you read it. I'm just trying to make Sakura a better character :D (because I already don't like her much.)

Previously…

{The blonde pressed the doorbell and waited a few seconds. His next sight was a slightly flustered and a bit puffed Sasuke who quickly opened the door. What a sight. The raven as quickly as he opened the door, TRIED to regain his casual indifferent composure, him too, running his slender fingers through his midnight hair.

"Hey, you came."

"I guess I did. Merry Christmas eve."

"To you too," the raven widened the entrance, revealing a now louder atmosphere of a lively party, "I hope you like dancing."

"Oh boy do I." and with a sly wink, Naruto took a step into what felt like a hot club; leaving a raised eyebrow on the smirking face of the Uchiha.

The tall blonde strode into the bustling apartment and made a beeline for Suigetsu and Juugo; who stood not too far away.

Naruto left Sasuke thinking whoa, alright… Just… go to Sui, that's fine with me… whatever, what was I thinking anyways… (What was he thinking?)

"Hey, you turned up!" Suigetsu welcomed Naruto, "to be honest, I didn't think you would! Hahaha, guess I was wrong. So what made you wanna show eh?"

Naruto shrugged, "didn't really have anything better to do I guess…"

Suigetsu nudged him, "sure." The silvery haired boy winked and left to "go get some booze in me."

"Well, so are you going to dance? Or just stand there watching everyone else?" Juugo encouraged the blonde.

Naruto gave a great grin and took towards the dance-floor of Sasuke's living room.

[Naruto's POV]

This is amazing; it's practically like a club here. The music is loud; I can feel the bass thrumming my chest. This is so good; it was too long ago since I've done this.

[Normal POV]

Moving perfectly with the music, Naruto quickly became the centre of attention... The "ooh, that guy… I want to dance all night with him…" guy. The ladies… and men… flocked around each getting a good turn dancing with the blonde.

Looking through from another room, a mop of pink hair watched the dance floor. Her emerald eyes were fixated on Naruto. A sly smile found her rosy lips.

I knew he would come. Good thing he is busy. And will be for a long time.

The petite girl walked over to a seated Uchiha, who was sipping out of a glass.

"He seems to be the centre of attention of everyone today." She whispered to him.

"I don't know what you are talking about Sakura." The raven pulled his eyes away from the blonde and gave an indifferent look to the pink-head.

"Sure Sasuke. Like I believe you. Oh and you know that blonde boy over there; he isn't the man I've been staring at all night." She stared straight into the raven's eyes; not a very common action – Not many people dare to stare directly at him.

"I'm surprised you turned up tonight." He murmured

"Ha! The Sasuke Uchiha surprised? That's funny. And you probably knew I was going to come. I've been here every single year I've known you. That wasn't going to stop just because of what happened between us." A sly grin appeared.

"Nothing happened between us Sakura, I never liked you."

She slinked around him, her hand trailed the top of his back and she whispered very close to his flawless face. Her hair tickled his cheeks. "Yes, but you loved me."

Sasuke chuckled, "I don't know where you got that idea from."

"Alright Sasu, believe what you want. But I want you to know, I will always remember what happened."

"Whatever." Sasuke stood up and went to go pour another three shots for himself.

"Damn bitch."

"Wow, I wonder who that was directed to."

Naruto had appeared on his left, puffed and wanting a good drink.

The raven scanned the room trying to find that too familiar pink head, but when back to his drink with no luck. " Just someone I know. A sly manipulative bitch."

"Wow, okay, I'd like to meet this chick. I'd give her a round of applause for making The Uchiha Sasuke get into a tiff."

The raven glared the signature glare and pulled out his bottle of vodka from a cabinet. "Shut up and drink."

"Gladly."

A half an hour passed and it was only 11 pm,

"So how is it even possible to have a club scene in you living room? You know with the music so loud?"

"Okay, so number one. It's Christmas. Many of the residents are on vacation. Number two, its Christmas. Many of the other residents are out of the building for the few days to spend the time with family. Number three; I have been hosting this party every single year, for a long time. Its practically tradition. So the people that are left I have invited, OR I just paid them to leave and spend Christmas somewhere else."

Naruto's eyes bulged.

"You paid people to leave. You PAID them?"

"Yeah," Sasuke just shrugged. "I mean I don't need everyone in the CitySpire out of the building. Because that is impossible. Just the people in the surrounding rooms, and floors. After all, it's an apartment; the walls need to have some sort of minimal soundproofing too."

"Oh right."

"Hm, its almost 12. Gotta drink some more."

As the two refilled their cups, they sat there unknowingly while a pretty face watched.

[Almost midnight on Christmas Eve]

"OK GUYS, TURN DOWN THE MUSIC. ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS. EVERYONE REFILL YOUR CUPS, AND THEN MOVE TO THE LIVING ROOM." Suigetsu yelled across the whole apartment. Everyone gathered and Suigetsu turned on the TV to a channel that was broadcasting the countdown.

"WITH ME NOW EVERYONE, 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5…"

All the partygoers enthusiastically counted.

Naruto had grabbed the reluctant host to the front and realized that the raven was pretty much almost drunk. A very rare and interesting sight I might add

The blonde had started counting down with everyone (including Sasuke.)

"Four! Threeee! Twoooo! One!" and the whole apartment was filled with an almost deafening roar of "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" And the mass of people started jumping about hugging and high fiving. This rejoicing had last about a total of twenty minutes and everyone went back to hard partying.

Like before, Sasuke and Naruto made their way back to a smaller sitting area where they were drinking; but this time Suigetsu and Juugo joined.

"Yo, Sasuke. Are you drunk?"

"Pfffffft… No, Sui, I amd totally not drunk. What makesss you think thaat?"

"Oh, sorry never mind. It was just the fact that your speaking is so totally slurred and you can't sit up straight by yourself." Suigetsu grinned and he nudged Naruto to whisper, "This my friend, is one of the funniest, most rare sights you will see in your life. Treasure and savour this moment." And with that, Suigetsu pulled out his camera and snapped a picture of the drunken Sasuke leaning on laughing a Naruto.

"Hey, hey Sasuke." Suigetsu prodded the man's shoulder.

"Whut, Suuii?" Probably the funniest slurred speech coming out of Uchiha Sasuke's mouth.

"Do you love me Sasu?"

"Yeah Sui, I love you. You are my bro, you know thaaat? Suuchh a gewd friend."

A quiet snigger erupted from the other boys as they tried to hold their laughter in.

Suigetsu turned to Naruto and said,

"We have to keep him talking, or else he will go to sleep." The silver haired man smiled, "hey Sasu, what about Juu?"

"Ohhhh yeeah! Juu too. He's my bro too. A gooood friend too."

Naruto felt the buzz of his cell phone and barely heard the ringing and stood up,

"Hey guys, I'll be back." Naruto made his way out of the apartment and stood by the elevator. He unlocked his cell phone and frowned at the caller.

[Back to Suigetsu, Juugo and the drunk, Sasuke]

"Hey Sasuke,"

"Yeahhh Juu?"

"What do you think of Naruto?"

"Naruuto…. Hmmm…" Sasuke started.

Suigetsu couldn't sit still in his chair with excitement.

The emotionless Sasuke reveals!~

[To Naruto talking on the phone]

"Sakura, now isn't a good time to call. Wait, Sakura, are you crying?" Naruto asked as he heard sobs on the other line. "Hey Sakura, why are you crying?"

"Naruto," He heard.

"You are okay right?"

"Yeah… but Naruto…"

"Sakura, you know we aren't on good terms now. I spoke to you the other day…"

"But Naruto… I… I… Miss you… I can't take it without you… I miss you so much!"

Naruto sat down on the flood with his hand on his head.

"Sakura, I told you already. You broke my heart, and I don't think I can go through that again."

"But I'm sorry! I love you Naruto! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I regret everything I did! Please! Please forgive me…"

Naruto sighed, why does she have this effect on me?

"Sakura?" he heard the dying sobs and sniffs,

"Yes Naru?"

The blonde's heart started filling his ears. That name, Naru, I've missed that so much….

"Don't cry anymore Sakura… I'll be there tomorrow okay?"

"I've missed you Naru…"

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"I love you…"

"No Naru… Please?"

"I've missed you to Sakura."

"See you tomorrow, Naru…"

And she hung up.

[Back to Suigetsu etc.]

"Hm… Naruto… I dun really know…. Hez got real pretty eyes though! I.. I sorta…"

"Yess Sasuke? You? Come on! Its taken you ages to even say more than his name." The other two encouraged.

Suddenly Naruto plopped down next to them. His head in his hands.

"Oh, man, what's wrong?" Juugo asked.

"I think I just took back my ex girlfriend."

"Oh… well you sure about it?" Suigetsu and Juugo traded disappointed looks.

"Yeah, she's the kind of girl, that can make you feel like the luckiest guy in the world one minute, then the next, like as if you are plankton in the sea. She's the kind of girl that can make you feel anything just when she wants to."

"Controlling?" Suigetsu asked.

"Not really, more like manipulative."

"Wow, sounds like a girl we used to know."

"Girls these days huh?"

"Uh oh, Suigetsu…" Juugo started, he pointed to Sasuke.

"Dammit! He fell asleep!"

Suigetsu let out another sigh as said,

"A drunk Sasuke is many things. One, an open answering machine. No not like a telephone. But like if you ask him a question, he will answer you truthfully. Two, a really, really funny sight. And last of all, three. An extremely rare occurrence. He only really drinks shot after shot. Ok fine not even shots! This guy can take a whole bottle of vodka straight with other drinks in a night.

Juugo and I have leant that when drunk Sasuke happens… some shit is going to go down, because he only drinks when some real drama is in the air."

Naruto nodded his head,

"I'll stay out of it then,"

"Yeah, best idea in the world: Never get involved in Sasuke drama. When it happens, life is never boring. You probably could make a televised drama series out of it."

"Yeah, I've got enough drama on my side."

Suigetsu laughed,

"Blondie, you ain't got any idea what Sasuke drama is like, sorry, but your's probably wouldn't compare."

A/N: Another chapter is coming soon! And I hope you understood that! If not, just ask and I'd happily explain. To make things clear, there is only one sakura in the whole story.
