Wahhahahaha author number one is bullying meeeee…. (sniffsniff ETERNALSOB)

Anyway here's my chapter….

Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto…and not me.

Sasuke showed no emotion as Sakura revealed her ANBU tattoo. He merely narrowed his eyes and shoved her across the room. THIS had ruined his day. He lost it when he saw her sneer at his sour mood. Not wanting to be kicked out right after coming back, he stormed out of the office and headed to God knows where.

Sakura just sat there, listening to inner Sakura rant on about how they sure gave him a warm welcome. But oddly enough, she didn't feel quite as enthusiastic about handing Sasuke his ass. She knew that she no longer harbored any romantic or even hospitable feelings for Sasuke any longer…no, she hated him. She hated every bone in his body with every bone in her body. But then why? Why would she not feel happy for chewing him out (a/n: not that way for all you pervs out there (i luv ya though).)? In an unknown state of mind, Sakura hurried to finish her work and went home.

The next morning, sakura decided that she would merely forget all about yesterday. There was no way Sasuke was going to get a mission! He was a bastard. Everybody (with the exception of Naruto and Kakashi-sensei) hated him. Hell, even she hated him. She also decided that she would call in sick and leave the work to Tsunade for a change, even though she knew that the lazy Hokage would bully someone else into doing it anyway… She settled on training for today. There was that one thing she needed to work on…

Ah. With the intrusion of Naruto, she missed her sweet, peaceful thoughts…what did her thoughts ever do to him….

"SAKURA-CHAN SAKURA-CHAN SAKURA-CHAN HE'S BACK—"

"Naruto…shut up…" Sakura raised a fist at him as a vein popped out of temple. Naruto, being oblivious to everything, didn't notice. When he just wouldn't shut it, she hit him and sent him flying through her kitchen wall. "You're fixing that, Naruto." He clutched his stomach where he had been hit.

"Nice gut shot…"

"And yes, Naruto, I know. I saw him yesterday."

Naruto gasped and puffed out his cheeks. He was such a child. "NOT FAIR NOT FAIR NOT—"

"Naruto…shut up, dobe."

Deflating, Naruto just stared at the man that had spoken. Then, he ran to hide. Behind Sakura. "Aaahh, teme, you shut up. This is Sakura-chan's house. Don't talk mean."

"Shut it, Naruto, you were just as bad. I'm going to train. Don't bother me."

With that, she started to leave. Only to be stopped by—yes—Sasuke. She found herself pinned once again. "Don't you need someone to train with, Sakura-chan?"

"Bastard."

He nuzzled the crook of her neck. She shivered as she narrowed her eyes. She welcomed his touch just as much as she rejected it. Why did it have to be him doing this to her? Why not someone else that she didn't love…WHOA THERE. What did she just— love? NO!! No, she hated him….no damn way on earth…

Ah. There went her thoughts again.

"NANDA—SASUKE!! STOP IT ASSHOLE!"

Naruto made a clone and had Rasengan ready in an instant. Sasuke hovered over Sakura for a second longer and moved off just as quickly as he had moved on.

"God Naruto… I was just asking her politely if she wanted to train with someone…" Naruto moved to attack but failed. Sasuke was behind him in .5 seconds flat. Now, Naruto was just holding a fist up to a wall. Sasuke observed that Naruto already had grown a chakra tail… Sakura meant this much to him? Then he would leave…and come back later. When Naruto wasn't there…
