Disclamer- i do not own naruto. Awww :(

Sakura walked down the stairs with incredible speed, you could hardly see her feet as they quickly went from one step to another. She made her way past the kitchen, where Sasuke's mom was so kindly cooking dinner for her and Sasuke.

Mikoto turned around, a soft smile on her gentle smooth features on her face, "Dinner is almost done, and sorry it's taking so long. That son of mine," she laughed lightly, "Did he send you down? Itachi and Sasuke have always been impatient with dinner," shaking her head, she continued, "Most likely they got it from his father."

"Oh no Ms. Uchiha, I was actually about to leave," when Mikoto turned around, Sakura gave an apologetic smile as she lied through her teeth, "Mom wants me home right now, something about my room."

"Oh it's fine!" Mikoto reassured Sakura brightly, "But you owe us a dinner, you better come by soon to have dinner with us." She said with a care free laugh.

Sakura smiled, "Of course."

Just then Itachi came down, "Mother, you're not done yet? I'm starving!"

Mikoto turned around with an amused expression, "See what I mean?" She said to Sakura, "Yes Itachi, it's about ready, why don't you set up the table?" Itachi smiled and said alight as he grabbed the table clothes and plates.

Sakura headed towards the door, "Leaving so soon Sakura, mom makes great Kare Raisu. I swear its heaven." Itachi said, showing the body language as if he were floating to heaven. Sakura laughed, "Another time." Sakura promised.

"I'm holding you to that promise, now go on before your mother gives you a hard time." Mikoto called as she made the plates.

Sakura opened the door, and as she slid out she saw Sasuke and his father come down the stairs, and Sasuke was looking torn as if he were fighting with his self. He looked up, only to get a glimpse of Sakura as she shut the door quickly and head to her car…

___

She wasn't sure how exactly she made it home without a ticket; actually, she wasn't sure how she made it home period. Everything was such a blur as the scene replayed through her head. What the hell was wrong with her? And the part that got her, the part that made her so upset with herself was…

It wasn't even out of revenge…

That's what makes everything just wrong. What the hell was I thinking?

You weren't…

She couldn't argue with that, not one bit. She wasn't thinking, and it was the most stupid thing she ever did. Turning off the engine of her car and getting out, Sakura slowly made her way up her drive way, dragging her feet a bit to go along with her mood. As she tried to unlock the door with her key, waiting impatiently to her the firmular confirming 'click', she sighed, because yet again, it started to rain. It wasn't the nice type of rain, where it's gray out and rain drops just carelessly fell to the ground. No, it suddenly gotten dark outside, black clouds tumbling in as if they were pushed, and wind suddenly sped around in panic. She saw a sharp piece of lightly cut through the sky and a good three seconds passed before thunder lazily rumbled, loudly making itself known and shacking the area.

Finally hearing the 'click' she had been longly searching for, she pushed the door open and hurried upstairs. She was sure her mother yelled something, but Sakura thought that if she really needed her, she would call again.(1) She opened her door, taking in the familiar features as her bed set against the wall on her right, and her dresser with her huge mirror on the far left. Her TV hung on the wall in front of her bed and as soon as you walked in, to your left was a shelf that were filled with books. A couple feet away from her bed was the bathroom that went in farther and was pretty big.

Sighing, she shut and walked towards her bed, looking at the window that was beside it. She saw the rain whirl around and lighting strike. She plopped down on her bed, and felt something cold under her leg. Lifting it up, she saw her black Black Berry that laid there, on with a couple numbers pushed in due to her sitting on it. She picked it up and looked at her alerts.

20?! What the hell? She scrolled down to the first alerts, which were voice mails, starting the long process.

(Robot Lady Voice) "Message from Baka Naruto." (Sakura giggled at the name she put him under on her phone.)

"Oi! Sakura! Listen I wanted to know if you wanted to come on this road trip with the fam. It's suppose to be mega fun with a cottage and stuff great stuff like that. Hey! We can even like start a forest fire while making those American smores, yeah? Ha Ha. Jiriya said something about fresh air in the mountains, but I'm sure there is a hot springs over there and he wants to do some "research". I swear, my old man of a grand pa is such a pervert! There was this one time—(Robot lady voice) "Voice Message almost full". What the?! This thing has a limit?! Oh well I better head off then! Message me to tell me what you think. It's not till some time in summer so yeah! BYE!"

Sakura smiled as she pressed the delete button on her phone.

(Robot Lady Voice) "Next Message from Kiba"

Heya pink puppy, I was just calling cuz I'm mega bored. Also, for some dating advice. You think Hinata would go wit me? It's just that well, yeah I know I have my dog ways, but you know I always had a thing for her. I told you that couple months ago, remember? Anyway, hit me up, I'm despite if I'm getting dating advice from you, yeah? Haha, I kid I kid. Hehe im off, duces!

Ignoring the fact that Kiba still kept his nick name for her since like five years old, she deleted it and continued, not before, of course, making a mental note to call him.

(Robot Lady Voice) "Next Message from Ino"

Baby, pick up your phone. I know I kinda called late, but that movie was long as fuck and the dinner seemed to take so much longer. I missed you the whole time! Come on Saku, at least let me explain. Call me back, yeah? Please?

Sakura didn't hesitate pressing the delete button, making no intension of calling back. Call her a hypocrite all you like, but she was still mad at Ino. She couldn't help it, but she was and it didn't feel like she was going to change her mind.

(Robot Lady Voice) "Next Message from Ino"

Saku, come on. I miss your voice and I can't stand feeling like I hurt you. Let me atleast-

Sakura pressed delete. She didn't want to hear any more which seemed like the rest were from her. Plus, she didn't want to hear excuses that she had to figure out wither to believe or not. So she decided to look at her text messages.

Naruto- FWD: You've just been visited by the love train. Whoo Whoo! Next stop, my heart! Admission fee- FREE!! Love is a powerful thing! Send this too all the ones you love!!!

Ino- Come on Saku, tlk 2 me!

Kiba- Hey did I tell you I got a new fone? Fuck yea, the NV touch, its so smexy! U so jealous :P.

Naruto- haha, u lyke me fwd? hehe nyway how u feel bout a cat for u b-day? U remember I missed it, I was outta twn. Fond dis kitten on the street. Its cute, white/ lil gray, n gray strips? Ill bi the food n stuff it jst needs a hme. Pwease *kitten eyes* haha, u like how I did tht yea? *wiggles eyebrows*

Sasuke- Im really sorry about what happened. Really lets just put it behind us, id rather not ruin our friendship. It didn't even happen…

Sasuke- See, forgot already. So… Friends again?

Everything else seemed unimportant and forwards. She liked the forward Naruto sent her though. She desided the only one she wanted to text back at the moment, was Naruto. The one person that might be able to get her spirts up.

Sakura- Sounds cute. Bet mom wnt mind.

Sakura glanced at the clock, wondering exactly what time it was. 8:00 pm. She looked at the window and saw that it was still raining, but it seemed like the lightening and thunder went away, still a bit windy.

'ding'

Sakura looked down on her phone.

Naruto- great. Ill bring it to u tmrw so u can look at it. Looks lyke those siberan tigers. *Sigh* don't you just love saterdays, sleepin n wit nutin to du!

Sakura giggled as Naruto's care free atitiude seemed to rub off on her.

Sakura- hehe, yea I no wat u mean… hey cn I call u?

Naruto- yay! Of course!

Sakura picked up her phone and dialed the numbers she now knew by heart. She waited patiently for Naruto to answer, but he took no time at all.

"Heya Sakura!"

Sakura giggled, "Hey Naruto,"

"So, what's up?"

"Nothing much, just bored."

"No, what I meant is, what's wrong, sounds like there is something on your mind."

Sakura blinked, surprised that Naruto can tell she was down, even though she was sort of recovering and trying to hide it. Her eyes adverted to the left, "It's alotta stuff."

"Well… I've got all the time in the world. Me and this lil guy over here will listen."

"Oh so the kitten is a guy?"

"Yeah, I named him Kenji. Pick up moms old baby book, and flipped to a random page. First one I saw. Nice, yeah?"

"Kenji… Yeah, I like it."

"Here that Kenji, she likes your name. You're gonna love her when you meet her, and you gotta protect her from all those mice and what not." Sakura laughed as Naruto talked to the kitten. He actually sounded attached to it, it made her wonder.

"How come you don't keep it?"

"I would but grand pa said that I couldn't. So I thought that if I, you know, gave him to you and just paid for the supplies, I could come visit and what not. It could be like a friend ship cat, Sasuke can even help out if he want."

A sigh slipped her lips.

"Oh, so then thing that's on your mind is Sasuke?"

"Wow Naruto, you're good."

"I can be oblivious some times, but I do have my moments," He laughed, "So what's up?"

"Can you keep a secrete?"

"Of course! I mean come on, we've been best friends since five years old. You know me!"

Sakura bit her lip as she thought some more, "How bout two?"

"The more secretes, the marrier!" Naruto said cheerfully.

Sakura then explained everything that happened. She explained to him about how Ino and her actually gotten together and how Kankuro took Ino out on a date. She explained how she must have not been thinking straight because she went to Sasuke's house for comfort and ended up getting a kiss. And Naruto replied, trying to help and giving his thoughts on everything. Even congradulating her on getting with Ino, and apologizing, sheepishly, for hitting on her.

"The bad part is, it didn't feel like I was doing it for revenge, you know, it's like… I dunno."

"Well don't you think that's better? I mean, when you think about it, if you didn't do it for revenge, it means your still faithful, its just that you got caught in the moment or whatever."

"I guess so, but, its still not right. And I'm also being a hypocrite because im still mad at Ino."

"That's understandable, I mean I would be mad to."

Sakura sighed, rubbing her eyes, "I don't know what to do."

"I cant tell you wat to do Sakura, but you have a choice. You tell Ino, or you don't. Simple as that."

"We'll split if I told her, that's for sure."

"Well like I said, Im not going to tell you what to do, but answer me this… how did it feel?"

Sakura sat there a moment, thinking, "How did what feel?"

"The kiss, how did it feel?"

"Well I mean, he's a good kisser, but I didn't feel anything…"

"Well that's good, do you feel anything when you kiss Ino."

"Um… Yeah… yeah I do."

"And do you think that would ever happen again?"

"No, of course not."

"Well Sakura, everyone makes mistakes."

Sakura smiled, and the guilt and other feelings from her stomach lifted, "Your right, im only human… Thanks Naruto. You really helped me out."

"No Prob! But hey Kenji fell asleep and im kinda gettin tired now too, so ill talk to you tomorrow, yeah?"

"Of coruse! Night Naruto, oh and Naruto love you too. You know, that forward thing."

Sakura could hear the grin on his face, "Haha yeah, love you Sakura! Night!"

Sakura put down the phone in some relief, everything seemed so much more… peaceful. She hated the whole rush feeling, that feeling that she needed to do something or she forgot something. It made her stress, and really, she just liked to be on top of things. As she put her head down on her pillow, she thought about Kenji. Her stomach did a tiny flip and twirl, thinking about the small little kitten. It would be nice to have some company around here, and she was actually really excited about the pet. Only reason she wasn't before was because of all the stress.

Her eyes slipped to a close, feeling all the stress just float away, she took a deep breath and fell asleep…

------------------

Sakura woke up with the ringing of her cell phone. She looked around groggily, hitting the clock a couple of times before realizing it was, in fact, her phone and not her alarm clock. Glancing at the clock, it said 8 a clock. She groaned, wondering who in God's green earth could be calling right now. No really caring WHO exactly it was, she picked up the phone quickly. Anything to stop the damn ringing!

"Hello" Sakura said in a husky voice, she cleared her throat with a cough and tried again "Hello?" she said again, this time sound just plan tired.

"Sakura you finally answered!" Said a beautiful, yet a bit squeaky voice over the phone.

Sakura's groggy eyes widened quickly as she recognized the voice automatically, "Ino?"

"Yeah. Look baby, I'm really sorry. Let me explain what happened."

Sakura couldn't believe she was stupid enough not to look at the caller ID. I mean, it was common sense half of the phone calls that she was going to get were going to be from Ino alone, who was still trying to apologize.

"Ino." Sakura started with a heavy sigh.

"Please, just hear me out. I was at my locker, getting my stuff so I could hurry and get to the car cuz I was late. Then, Kankuro came up to my locker. I swear Sakura, I told him I had to hurry and catch you before you left me. I knew you wouldn't, but I was lying to try to get away. And he was like, "It's cool, we can catch her and tell her I'll take you home. And I told him thanks for the offer but no thanks, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Next thing you know it, he's already talking about what movie to see." Ino explained frantically, trying to rush every little thing out just in case Sakura was to hang up on her.

"Ino, whatever alright," Sakura said with a sigh, sure the story might have been true, but it sounded like a load of bull shit to her, "We can put us on hold till the summer so you can be with this guy till then." Sakura didn't want that, but she didn't want to have to comepete with this guy either.

"No! please don't do that to me. I don't want him-"

"You know what I didn't hear through out that whole story," Sakura ponderd outloud, just realizing it herself actually as she skimmed over the, "wither or not you kissed him…"

There was silence, and as much as Sakura was repeating to herself in her head that if Ino did she wouldn't care, her heart was thumping hard yet at the same pace.

"I..." Ino started.

Sakura's heart broke.

"He leaned in, and I was just watching the movie. He was trying to move in on me, like, the whole night. I thought… I thought that maybe if I just kissed him, he would be satisfied and I'd be on my way."

Strangly, all Sakura could do was laugh. The laugh was humorless, and emotionless, but it was a laugh all the same. She thought that this whole situation was funny, ironic.

"Sakura…" Ino said in a soft voice. She that Sakura laughing was just another way of hiding her hurt.

"Ino it's fine," Sakura responded with a smile, a fake one, "It's not like we were that serious…" Sakura paused as she tried to control her voice, "Maybe we should just cut this off before it gets to complicated…too serious."

"No!" Ino blurted without thinking, her stomach dropped, that was the last thing she wanted, "No Sakura, it didn't even mean anything, I just gave it to him so he could back off. I was thinking about you the whole night… I wanted to spend last night with you, not him. I want you, not him." As Ino tired to reason, Sakura's ears perked at Ino's voice, it almost sounded like a soft plea, guilt started to churn within Sakura,"Please Sakura,' She continued, her voice serious and soft at the same time, "I don't want to break up." Sakura sighed. "Ill make it up to you, I promise, but please Sakura… please, don't break up with me." Ino pleaded gently.

Sakura rubbed her eyes slowly, "Are yall going out, or was this just one date?"

"One date." Ino answered quickly, "At the end of it all, I told him that I'll call him. I haven't yet, and don't plan to all this weekend. He'll probably come up to me and ask me why I haven't, but I don't care, I don't plan on calling him."

Sakura remained silent for a second. Guilt was still turning inside of her. She was being a hypocrytie, she knew she was, but she couldn't push the fact away that some guy kissed Ino.

"Well…Isnt this stupid to you? This whole dating thing. You think maybe we'd do better as friend?" Sakura asked, closing her eyes and rubbing them. Maybe she should get out of this before it gets any deeper.

"No, this isnt stupid. You're my girl friend. I want you, not some stupid guy who wouldn't take no for an answer."

"Right-"

"Sakura I'm serious, I don't want to break up. I was thinking about you the whole time. All night. Believe me, I could have called you phone so many more times, but I forced myself not to."

"Alright, Alright." She replied with a sigh, but she couldn't help but smile.

"So… I can come over and spend the day with you? I don't even want to go out… I just want to be with you… under your touch…"

Sakura swallowed, "Hugging?"

"I was thinking of more," Ino flirted.

"Well, uh, mom is away. Some talk about working." She managed to get out.

"So, is that a yes Saku?" Ino was just toying with her now.

"Um, sure. We could watch a movie or whatever."

"Ok! But I gotta warn you Saku," Ino continued with a sing song voice, "We might miss the whole movie."

Sakura just sighed in response, "Well, I'll go get the movie and pick you up. See you soon."

Watching the Movie

Ino straddled Sakura, her legs on Sakura's sides, sure to make sure they were pressed together. Her hands slide up Sakura's chest, sliding then to her neck, then up the Sakura's hair, her finger's running through it. She leaned down, right next to her ear, and whispered, "Saku, I don't like scary movies."

Sakura on the other hand, not paying attention to any of what she was doing, tried to see by moving her head to the side, catching half of the screen she responded, "Well Ino, do you really think all this is nessary for you to tell me this?"

Ino pouted, and pulled back slightly, looking Sakura in the eyes, "Yes. Arent you going to protect me?"

Sakura smiled slightly, "Sure thing… After the movie is over." She then moved again to catch the screen.

Ino wasn't giving up. She went back beside Sakura's ear, "Sakura," She moaned lightly, "What if I begged…"

Sakura's heart skipped a beat and a pulse surged down between her legs. "Begging… Could work, yeah."

Smirking, half moaning, she begged, "Saku, please. I'll do anything,"

Sakura swallowed, "Enough begging."

"Ohhh. Sakura is getting turned on." Ino smiled with a giggle. "Begging Sakura? That's kind of a kinky turn on."

"Shut up." Was all the reply that came out of Sakura.

"I like it though, it's kind of turning me on too."

Sakura cleared her throat, "Anyway, the movie."

"Saku please," she moaned, "Please, I'll do anything, just please-"

Sakura groaned involuntarily.

Ino smiled, "Please-" She tried to continue.

"Alright! What do you want?" Sakura cried, closing her eyes and sighing.

"For you to pay attention to me." Ino grinned.

Sakura's eyes dully turned to Ino and raised an eyebrow, "Alright?"

Ino looked Sakura in her eyes, her smile gone and said very seriously, "I want you to pick me up and take me to you room upstairs."

Sakura blinked, but then shrugged. Standing up, with Ino still clinging to her, she walked towards the stairs and headed up to her room. She made a left and walked to the end of the hall, taking the far door to the right, she opened the door, shut it behind her, and stood there.

"I want you to lay me down."

Sakura did so, laying Ino down on her at the foot of the bed. She stood there.

Ino grabbed Sakura's wrist, pulling her down softly.

Sakura got on top of her, careful not to put her full weight on top of Ino.

"Come closer,"

Sakura obeyed.

"So we talked about beggined," Ino whispered into Sakura's ear, "Do I have to beg for you to have me?" She said the last bit sort of pouty.
