Hello again! I seem to have noticed that I didn't get ANY reviews on the last chapter. So, until I get lots of reviews, I'm not going to submit the third chappie. And it's a shame too, cuz it's real good. It involves THE Sasuke Uchiha, shopping. You don't wanna miss that now, do you?

After Sakura went inside she sighed, looking at all the presents. She decided she would put them away in the morning. Sakura slowly walked to her room. She took off her clothes and put on some dark crimson plaid pajama pants with a black tank top. She slid into her soft pink covers after turning off the lights. She didn't bother washing her face, brushing her teeth or brushing her hair. She just wanted to sleep.
She slowly started drifting off to sleep until she heard something knock on her window. Sakura assumed it was just a branch and ignored it. This time, it knocked harder and more repeatedly. She got up reluctantly and walked over to the window. Immediately after she saw what was there, she fainted. The person outside rolled their eyes. "Same old damn Sakura", they thought. They slowly opened the window and climbed inside. He looked at Sakura in amazement. She had grown a lot. "Wow, when did she get so damn hot?! I mean, look at those curves!!", he thought to himself (Sasuke's a perv XD). He wondered why he thought these things about such an annoying and weak person. "Fainting just by seeing someone". He noticed the beautiful necklace around her neck. It was pretty alone, but on her it was a lot prettier. He slowly picked her up and put her on her bed. He yawned. It was pretty late and he had been traveling without break for three days straight. He slowly made his was down the hall and to the, what seemed to be, living room. He noticed the pile of presents beside the couch. "Shit! I forgot! It was her birthday today!", he lay himself down on the couch and almost instantly fell asleep, but not before thinking of something to get her.
Sakura woke up the next morning and got out of bed wearily. She walked down the hall to make herself some breakfast, maybe some pancakes perhaps? (I'm so corny XD). She groaned. There was enough pancake mix for two people, but she was too lazy to measure pancakes for one, so she just made the whole batch. Sakura took two pancakes, put them on a plate, smothered them in maple syrup and sat down at the table with a knife and fork. She began eating her pancakes. After she was done, she put her dishes away. She didn't bother cleaning up the extra pancakes. Sakura sighed as she realized she still hadn't put away any of her presents (she's still wearing the necklace from Naruto). Sakura made her way into the living room. She screamed. She just noticed that the guy at her window last night was lying on her couch. And that guy was…… Suddenly he sat up, probably because she screamed so loud. He looked at her and gasped. He wasn't sure why he seemed surprised, he knew she would notice a guy sleeping on her couch when she woke up in the morning.
"S… Sa… Sasuke… is that really you?", Sakura was completely shocked. She thought that last night, when she saw him out the window, she was just imagining it, like always. But she could clearly see him on her couch, and damn he looked hot. He had grown so much since she had last seen him. "Yes... it's obviously really me", he woke her up from her staring. "I see you're still a jerk. I guess besides physically, not much has changed for you", Sakura smirked (very un-Sakura). She wasn't going to be nice to him if he was still going to be rude to her, even if she loved him with all her heart.
"Well, I see your attitude has changed considerably. You're not shy and giddy like you used to be around me. Your physical appearance has also changed quite a bit", at this last remark he smirked. "Well, I'm not sure weither to take that as a compliment or not, that last remark of yours", Sakura looked a little uneasy but tried to smirk. "Well, you are right. It could mean a lot of things, but in this case it's a compliment", Sakura blushed as Sasuke spoke to her, "I have to say that you look very grown up. You also look like you've gotten a lot stronger".
"As a matter a fact I have gotten a lot stronger. If you hadn't left you would have known that I have been Tsunade's apprentice for quite some time now", Sakura said confidently. "I see it was your birthday yesterday", Sasuke motioned to the presents (changing the topic). "Yes it was. Everyone was there…", Sakura began. "…except for me", Sasuke finished. "Exactly. I was disappointed at first, but then I remembered that you've disappointed me quite a bit", Sakura said, "I seem to be getting better at coping with disappointment". "So, you're seven-teen now. I turned seven-teen…", Sasuke began. "You turned seven-teen June 12", she finished (her birthday, yesterday, was July 3). "Still haven't forgotten my birthday after all these years?", Sasuke asked, although he knew the answer.
"Every year you were gone, I threw you a birthday party. Naruto was the only one who ever came because he didn't want me to be alone. Naruto is a great friend, unlike someone I used to know. But, I am extremely happy you returned. Wait a second! Why did you return anyways, Sasuke?", Sakura asked. "You threw me a party? Every year? Why? And Naruto's your friend now?", Sasuke was trying to let in all sink in as he spoke. "Yes. I threw you a party every year just incase you returned. I didn't want you to return without a celebration. And yes, Naruto is my friend. Now, tell me why you returned", Sakura wanted an answer. "She threw me a party every year so I didn't feel people forgot. She's so thoughtful, even after I left her and abandoned the whole village. Sakura really is something", Sasuke thought to himself. "Well, I killed both Orochimaru and Itachi. I came back because I wanted to see if Tsunade would let me stay", Sasuke informed her. "I'm sure she'll let you stay!", Sakura beamed brightly. Sasuke gasped. Her smile was so beautiful, he couldn't believe it (once again, corny).
Sakura was going to ask why he gasped until they heard someone banging on the door. "I'll get that", Sakura got up and answered the door. "Hey Sakura!!!", Naruto smiled. "Morning Naruto, come on in", Sakura smiled and motioned for him to come in. She closed the door. "HOLY CRAP SAKURA!!!!! WHAT IS THAT ICE BITCH DOING HERE?!?!?!?", Naruto yelled as he pointed as Sasuke who was sitting on her couch. "Hi dunce", Sasuke smirked. Naruto ran towards him with his fist clenched. Sakura quickly appeared in front of him, causing him to stop. "Sakura! What is he doing here?!?!?", Naruto asked her through clenched teeth. "It's fine Naruto. Just calm down. I'll let him explain", Sakura said calmly as she took Naruto's hand and led them to sit on the couch (Sakura in between the two). Naruto calmed down when Sakura smiled and held his hand. She had that kind of effect on people. Sasuke explained everything.
Naruto calmed down a bit more. "So you're not working for Orochimaru anymore?", Naruto asked. "Well obviously, dunce. He's dead", Sasuke said smugly. Naruto was about to yell at him until Sakura punched Sasuke on the head. (anime style bump appeared on Sasuke's head). "Don't call him that!!!", Sakura was extremely mad. Naruto was surprised. "He is one of the most respected ninja in the village now and one of the strongest! He's even next in line to become the Hokage! Sasuke, you are in no position to be insulting him", Sakura informed Sasuke. Sasuke was shocked. "That dun… I mean, he's next in line for Hokage? Wow, nice job kid", Sasuke smiled. "Thanks, I guess", Naruto said uneasily.
Just then, Sasuke's stomach growled. "Sorry about that, I haven't eaten in three days", Sasuke informed the two. "Well, I just happen to have some pancakes ready. Would you like some?", Sakura asked him as she started to walk to the kitchen. "Yes please", Sasuke said as he followed her into the kitchen. "What about you Naruto? Have you eaten yet?", Sakura asked as she prepared Sasuke's pancakes on a plate and set a place for him. She placed everything on the table (pancakes, fork and knife, syrup). Sasuke sat down. "No thanks Sakura! I had some ramen before I came over. Although your pancakes are delicious", Naruto smiled at her. She smiled back. "Alright, some tea then?", Sakura asked. "That'd be great thanks!", Naruto said as he sat down beside Sasuke who was wolfing down his pancakes. Sakura laughed as she brought them all tea. "You look like Naruto when he's eating ramen!", Sakura laughed as she placed the tea down. Sasuke was about to reply but then he realized he was eating, so he didn't. Sakura sipped her tea as she giggled. Naruto sipped his. Sasuke finished then pancakes and sipped his. "I hate to say this, because I don't usually give compliments, but those pancakes were really good", Sasuke smiled. Sakura blushed slightly and then smiled. "Thanks", Sakura said then sipped her tea.
"Say, Naruto, is it true that you guys threw me a birthday party every year?", Sasuke asked calmly. "Yeah. We just kinda sat there with the yummy cake that Sakura would make. Mostly, Sakura just cried softly cause she knew you would never show up. I would try and eat the cake but she said the birthday guy had to blow out the candles first, which is true. So we would sit there until the candles burned out. It was kinda sad", Naruto frowned as he looked at Sakura who was looking sad. "Oh, I see. But why? That's stupid. You knew I would never show up. I didn't even know about it", Sasuke tried to act annoyed, but he was really touched that someone would go to all that effort for him. "Because Sakura thought that if you returned only to see the hateful villagers it would make you discouraged. So, she wanted to make you feel welcome. I mean, no one wants to feel crappy on their birthday", Naruto sipped his tea.
"Sasuke, what's your favorite kind of cake?", Sakura didn't bother looking up from her tea. "Huh? Oh, well, I didn't have much cake when I was a kid, but, I'd have to say chocolate. With pink icing. That stuff's the best", Sasuke looked at her quizzically. "That's so weird! That's the exact same kind of cake Sakura made every year!!!", Naruto said with a shocked look on his face. "I thought so", Sakura smiled, still looking down at her tea. "When do you want me to take you to Tsunade's office?", Sakura finally looked up from her tea. "Well, as soon as possible, I guess", Sasuke told her. "Well, I'm not taking you while you smell like that. Naruto, if it's not too much trouble, could you run back to your place and get some clothes for Sasuke to wear?", Sakura asked him sweetly with a smile. "Sure, whatever", Naruto got up and went out the door. "You", Sakura pointed at Sasuke, "go down the hall and go in the second door on the right. It's the bathroom. Take a shower. I'll bring you a towel in a minute", Sakura pointed at the hallway. Sasuke got up obediently and walked to the bathroom. Sakura put his dishes in the dishwasher and then went and got him a towel. She slowly opened the bathroom door and threw a towel in. She didn't hear it land on the floor, so she assumed Sasuke got it.
Sakura went and sat down on the couch. She sat there for ten minutes. Naruto suddenly came in. "I got the only clothes that I own that I think he would wear", he motioned to the black pants, white t-shirt and black boxers. "I imagine those will do", she smiled, "he's in the bathroom". Naruto nodded then walked into the bathroom. (Sasuke just came out of the shower) Naruto handed Sasuke the clothes. Naruto came back out and sat beside Sakura. They waited for about five minutes before Sasuke came out. Sakura tried not to stare, but he looked really hot. "After I take you to Tsunade's and she lets you stay, I'm taking you shopping", Sakura informed Sasuke. "Heeeey!!! Can I come too??", Naruto asked her with puppy eyes. "Sorry Naruto. How about we meet you at twelve-thirty for ramen?", Sakura asked. "Aww… OK!", Naruto smiled, gave Sakura a big bear hug, and left. Sakura smiled.
