Love Triangle: SasSakNeji

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reviewing! (and keep doing it of course!) I just wanted to tell you that Sakura is actually rich, she just said she couldn't afford it because she wanted to see if Sasuke would say anything. And the dress she bought (or Sasuke bought) I meant to say it ended just below her knees. Ok?

Oh and just to get this out there, I'm a girl. (I no, random)

Chapter 6

"Too Late"

It was Monday, and today, tomorrow and the day before the dance, Sakura was meeting with Neji and Sasuke again (for the project).

"Hi Neji! Hi Sasuke!" Sakura called jogging up to them.

"Hey." Neji said.

"Yo." Sasuke said.

"Umm Sasuke?"

"Yeah?"

"The other day when we were hanging out at the mall, and you bought me my dress, you didn't need to. I'm actually kind of rich…I could afford it easily, I just wanted to see if you would do anything….Hehe…"

"So?" Sasuke said.

"…So you don't care that I tricked you?"

"No. I actually kind of liked paying for you. And beside that was like, one thousandth of my allowance. "

Sakura blushed. "Oh well thanks again."

"You guys hung out this weekend?…At the mall?…And you paid for her dress?" Neji asked.

Sasuke smirked. "Yeah."

'What the hell?' Neji thought. Neji frowned.

Sasuke's smirk grew. "Why? Are you…jealous?"

"Che, what would make you think that?"

"Oh nothing..."

"Come on you guys, we're gonna be late fore class." Sakura said.

"Coming."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Later… XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Later they all met at Sasuke's again and worked on their project.

"Do you guys have a date yet?" Sakura asked.

"Nah not yet." Sasuke said.

"Me neither, but I'm keeping my eye on a girl, and I'm gonna ask her soon if someone doesn't before me." Neji said, looking at Sasuke when he said the last part.

"Oh that's nice…" Sakura said. "Well I gotta get going! See ya!

"See ya."

The next couple of days past by quickly for the students, because everyone was too busy getting ready for the dance, and they couldn't (or wouldn't) pay attention in class.

Sakura, Neji and Sasuke were becoming quite the group. They were always hanging around each other (well, not 24/7 but a lot). And the funny thing was, the two boys opened up more. Sakura never needed a ride anymore, since she brought her PINK convertible now.

Everyone was talking about how she became friends with them so fast.

"Did you notice that Sakura Haruno is always hanging around Sasuke and Neji?"

"She shouldn't be hanging around them, she'd not good enough to be with my Sasuke-kun."

"Don't talk about Sakura-chan that way! They both aren't good enough to hang around her."

Everyone was so excited about tomorrow night. Mostly everyone had a date. Ino was going with Shikamaru, (duh) Naruto asked Hinata because he couldn't ask Sakura (you'll find out later, but u probably already no cause I said it in the preview). Kiba doesn't really need a girlfriend, (or so he says) Shino never really liked social things so he decided not to go, and Choji, well, let's just say he's not really gonna need a date to make his night happy. (because all the food that's gonna be there)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Class… XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In social studies, Kakashi didn't even say one word he was just reading his perverted book the whole time. The class was just talking about the dance the next night.

But being the person that she is, Sakura was studying for the HUGE test the next day. She had her nose in her book and acted as if no one else was there.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said walking up to her.

"Hm?" Sakura said not looking away from her book.

"Don't tell me your actually…studying?" Naruto said making a disgusted face.

"Yes Naruto I am studying, because unlike the rest of the class, I don't want to fail our HUGE test tomorrow that counts for a fourth of our grade." Sakura said.

"Oh…" Naruto said. "…I'm going to study like Sakura-chan!" Naruto took out his book and started reading. Everyone was staring at him. Ten seconds later…

"Ahh! Chikuso! (damn it) My head hurts!" Naruto said.

Everyone sweatdropped, anime style.

The bell rang. RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!

"Pack up your things everyone. That was a good class." Kakashi said, STILL reading his book.

"Hey Naruto?" Sakura called.

"Yeah Sakura-chan?"

"What exactly is that book about?"

"You don't wanna know Sakura-chan…you don't wanna know."

"Ok. That's more than enough of an explanation for me." Sakura said.

"Well I'll see you later!" Naruto said.

"Ok! Bye!"

"See ya teme!"

"Dobe."

'When are you thinking of asking her? You're taking WAY too long.' Inner Sasuke said.

'Ask her what?' Sasuke thought.

'To go to the dance with you!' Inner Sasuke said.

'Who said I wanna take her?' Sasuke thought.

'Me! So I am technically you!'

'Whatever."

'So when are you gonna!?'

'I don't know! When I'm ready I guess…' Sasuke thought.

'Ready? READY!? HELLO! The dance is tomorrow!' Inner Sasuke said.

'Oh yeah.' Sasuke thought.

Sasuke entered his next class, with Sakura beside him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX During Class XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

During class, all that really happened was that they got a pop quiz.

"Awwww." The class whined.

"Aww, boo-hoo little babies." Kurenei said sarcastically.

"But Kurenei-sensei! I don't want to have a qquiiiizzz!" Ino complained.

"Too bad! Now get to work!"

"But Sensei!"

"Quie-"

"Done!" Sakura said out of nowhere. Everyone just stared at her. "Here!" Sakura handed Kurenei the quiz.

"T-thanks…"

"Done." Sasuke and Neji said at the same time. They both handed her their papers.

"Very well. You may leave."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX After Class XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That quiz was sooo easy! Don't you think Ino?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah that was so easy." Ino said sarcastically. "Especially for me, because I am the all, smart Sakura Haruno." Ino said posing.

"Hey, hey, no need to be jealous of my intelligence." Sakura said.

"Hey-"

"Hi Sakura-chan!" A voice called. Sakura turned around to see…Kyle! (you thought it was gonna be Naruto didn't you?)

"Oh, hi, Kyle, am I right?" Sakura said unsure.

"Yep!"

"Oh, good then." Sakura said. They were talking for a while until Sakura heard a deep voice behind her.

"Who the hell is this?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Somewhere XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sasuke saw Sakura talking to some guy. (who was quite cute, may I add) Sasuke felt something inside of him stir. 'What the f#? Who the hell is that?' (watch your mouth Sasuke! Haha) Sasuke started walking over to them. Sasuke walked faster when he saw Neji walking towards them

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX With Sakura XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Who the hell is this?" A deep voice said.

"Huh?" Sakura said. She turned around to see Neji glaring at the poor boy.

"Who is this?" Neji asked, waiting impatiently for an answer.

"T-this is my friend Kyle." Sakura said, saying the word friend obviously so he wouldn't beat Kyle up.

"Hn."

Sasuke walked up to them. "Who the hell is this?" Sasuke asked.

"What?"
"Who is this?" Sasuke said. (déjà vu eh?)

"Ugghh I just explained this to Neji." Sakura said. Sasuke looked at Neji. "This is Kyle, my friend."

"Hn."

"Umm, Sakura-chan?" Kyle asked.

"Yes Kyle?"

"Umm, I was just wondering if you could go to the dance with me tomorrow?"

"Oh, well I alre-"

"She can't." Sasuke and Neji said at the same time.

"Y-yeah. What they said."

"Oh…"

"I'm sorry."

"…That's ok! I'll just ask someone else!" Kyle said, pumping his fist into the air.

"Damn, you bounce back fast boy."

"Yeah I know, but I won't give up on you!"

"…haha…"

"Well, see you later Sakura-chan!" Kyle said as he ran off.

Sasuke and Neji were glaring holes into Kyle's back.

"Umm I'm just gonna leave…" Ino said, as she dashed around the corner. (I bet you forgot she was there right?)

"…"

"...awkward…" Sasuke said.

"Yeah…" Neji said

"…"

"Come on let's go…" Sakura said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX After School XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura, Sasuke and Neji walked out to the front of the school.

"My beautiful cherry blossom of youth!" A voice called.

"Oh no…" Sakura said. "Not him."

"Sakura-san." The boy said.

"…Hi Lee-san." Sakura said.

Sasuke and Neji raised an eyebrow.

"Your youth, and beauty has over-whelmed me!" Lee said.

Sakura sweatdropped.

"My I accompany you as your escort to the social dance tomorrow night?" Lee said.

"No sorry."

"Awww ok. But Gai-sensei! I will try my hardest to gain the affection of this youthful student!"

"LEE!" A voice shouted from far away.

"GAI-SENSEI!"

The group just walked away slowly.

"Sakura." Sasuke said

"Yeah?"

"I need to talk to you."

"O-ok."

Sasuke looked at Neji. "ALONE." Sasuke said. Neji looked for a few more seconds, then walked away.

"Sakura." Sasuke asked.

"Hm?"

"I…need to ask you something…"

"What is it?"

"Well…"

"Come on Sasuke spit it out, I have to get home."

"Well…Will you…"

"Yes?" Sakura urged hoping for an answer soon, so she won't lose her perfect attendance to dinner, and let her mother down.

"W-will you go to the dance with me?" Sasuke said uncomfortably.

"Oh…" There was an awkward silence. "I'm so sorry Sasuke, I would love to go with you but, you see…I already have a date…"

"What?" Sasuke asked. It felt like he couldn't hear anything.

"I already have a date." Sakura said simply.

Sasuke's eyes turned red.

"Are you ok-"

"With who?"

"Huh?"

"Who are you going to the dance with." Sasuke said.

Sasuke was being so serious it almost scared Sakura. Almost. "I'm going with Neji." Sakura said.

"You are?!" Sasuke said.

"Yes. Do you have a problem with that?!" Sakura said, her temper rising.

"When did he ask you?!"

"This morning!"

"…" He was so close…

"Why? Are you jealous or something!"

"No! Why would I be!"

"I don't know! You've been acting really weird lately!"

"So!"

"So!? Maybe I care about you as a friend, and want to know what's wrong with you!"

"Who ever said you were my friend?!" Sasuke shouted. Right when he said it, he knew he had crossed the line.

"…Oh…" Sakura just walked away.

"Sakura." Sasuke called trying to get her attention. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings.

"Ah, see ya." Sakura said waving to him without looking, walking away.

'Damn it! Why are you so stupid?' Sasuke thought.

'I ask myself COUGHyouCOUGH that question everyday.' Inner Sasuke said.

'Shut up.'

'You shouldn't be telling me that. Who was the guy who just lost one of his best friends, maybe even crush?'

'Che, she's not my friend.'

'See! You can't even admit something as simple as that!'

'Whatever.'

Sasuke walked to his car.

"Hey." A voice called.

Sasuke turned around to see Neji. "What do you want?" Sasuke snapped.

"Why so snappy Uchiha?"

"Hn."

"I just wanted to let you know, I hope ME going to the dance with SAKURA, and not YOU, doesn't come between our friendship." Neji said laughing as he walked away.

Sasuke was fuming.

"Hey teme."

Sasuke turned to see Naruto. "What dobe?"

"I heard what happened between you, Sakura-chan and Neji." Naruto said.

'Damn, things spread fast in this school.' Sasuke thought

"I just think you should of just punched Neji in the face and be like "What now Sucka?" And then…"

"Shut up."

"…Then you should take Sakura-chan to the dance and be like "In your face" and then you and Sakura-chan will dance and kiss…"

"Ew. Just stop already."

"…"

"And besides, I thought you liked Sakura?"

"Well, I did, but then I got to hang out with Hinata-chan, and she's is so sweet! She even paid for my Ramen!" (does the boy have no shame?)

"Hn. Bye dobe."

"See ya teme."

Sasuke drove off…

Tomorrow was going to be so much fun, the dancing, the partying, the eating, and a WHOLE day of classes with Sakura and Neji…together…yay…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks for reading! Really long chappy!

Sorry for the wait! Guess what? I got into big trouble at school, it was HORRIBLE!

Preview: Chapter 7 "The Dance"

Sakura could feel her face heating up. Her face was about three inches from Neji's. Closer…closer…closer…

She finally felt their lips meet, but it only last for about two seconds before she felt him rip away from her.

Sakura opened her eyes. Only to see Neji on the floor with blood trickling down the side of his mouth.

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR SYMPATHY! (for getting into trouble at skool) AND REVIEW!
