A.N: Read And Review :) Or I will steal your Twinkies! Sorry for the late update!
Warning: I changed the writing POV. The format I was trying to use as Sakura being I was annoying and I didn't like it. I apologize for my change but I can promise it will stay this way from now on.

CRAZY
Sakura POV.
I would never leave my family for any reason. Not for a boy, great gifts, great fortune, even a lifetime of wonder.
I awoke from the tweets of the birds. The bright sunshine shining through the window was warm and inviting. It shone on my face and forced me to wake up.
I sat up and looked at my wristwatch.
"6:33am." I groaned and remembered I still had to go to school today. I shook my mothers shoulder to wake her up as well. She turned over and groaned, she didn't want to wake up as much as I did.

Sasuke sat in Biology class reading over his notes he wrote the class before. He looked up at the front of the classroom and sighed, he hated when the teacher was late. It was just a draw back to his education.
Sakura scurried through the hallways trying to carry her Biology textbooks and Chemistry textbooks. There were at least 6 different textbooks she was trying to balance along with her glasses, coat, pencil case, and map of the school.
She looked up while running and finally the door of her biology class was only a few steps away, she smiled and was glad that she wouldn't have to carry all those books for much longer.
She came to the front of the door and tripped over the bottom of her coat.
'shit' She thought to herself before falling over and sliding across of her biology class on her stomach.
Wincing in pain she sat up and groaned at all her books scattered across the floor. Sasuke sighed and jumped out of his seat and went to the front of the classroom to help her.
"You never change do you Sakura?" He smirked and bent down on his knees and helped her gather her books.
"Shut up Sasuke. I had two main classes today and I was running late. Some of us aren't perfect like you."
He looked up at her and chuckled. She bopped her head up and lifted her eyebrow.
"What's so funny?" He smirked and chuckled again. She narrowed her eyes at him and looked to the side where the entire class was just watching the two with grins on their faces.
"Hn."
"No seriously! What's so funny?"
"Hn."
"Sasuke shut up!"
"I didn't say anything."
"You said Hn!!!"
"Tell you what. If you can find 'Hn' in the dictionary I will let you drive my Ferrari alright?" She widened her eyes and couldn't hold back the laugh. She burst out laughing in front of the class looking like a real idiot.
"A FERRARI! Right Sasuke! And next we will take a ride in your private jet!"
"When my dad comes back from his business trip sure, I can ask him if someone can give us a quick fly."
"Sasuke you need some help. You do no-"
Sasuke held up a pair of keys. A Ferrari tag hanging from the car key, the black rubber of the key had the same symbol on it but in silver. Her mouth hung open as he pressed the alarm button and a quick "beep beep" was heard from outside.
He pressed it again as it locked.
"Now. Lets get your stuff to your desk and we can continue our discussion when we take a seat. What do you think of that?"
No matter. Sakura's mouth was still hanging open from the sight of seeing a classmate owning a Ferrari. He grabbed the books that were in her hands and began walking to her seat, which was beside his.
She shook her head, took the rest of her belongings and took a seat at her desk. Along with a nice neat pile of her textbooks on top of one another.
She hung her jacket over the top of the back of her seat, placed her pencil case in the middle of the desk and hid the map of the school in the front of her agenda. She took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Sasuke.
"So you actually do own a Ferrari?"
"Three. And a private jet."
"Really?"
"Hn."
"Okay Sasuke seriously!"
"The jet has a hot tub too."
"A hot tub?"
"Hn. I don't repeat myself. So you fail."
"How so?"
"You are doomed to failure if you try to prove me wrong about my necessities"
"Too whom do I owe my failure to Sasuke? Failure is not an option"
And he just froze. Widened his eyes and closed his eyes, looking as if he were in deep thought.
"Sasuke?"
"What did you just say?"
"Ummm are you okay?"
"I do not repeat myself Sakura."
She looked at him confused and sighed. "I said how am I doomed to fail?"
"After that. What was that quote you just said."
"Too whom do I owe my failure?"
"And you said-"
"Failure is not an option" They said at the same moment.
"When did you begin saying that?" He said looking at her with a serious tone and a look of concern and thoughts running through his head.
"I began saying that after I read-"
"After you read."
"To protect one another." They said together.
"You read that book? Its not even released anywhere in the world. Only 3 families had access to it."
"I have my sources."
He nodded. Then the teacher was at the front of the classroom pulling down a poster of the human body. There was complete silence between the two.
'3 families. Heh, time to find Nara."
---
Once class was over Sasuke escaped the classroom as fast as he could, not saying a word to Sakura. He ran through the hallways towards the technology department.
He knocked on the door that had the numbers '1079' on the front of the door.
"Im sleeping"
"Its Uchiha Sasuke. Want to play a game?"
"Ugh. What game Uchiha?"
"A puzzle. We have a case to crack."
The man on the other side of the door opened the door and smirked leaning against the door.
"Shikamaru Nara at your service. But I do get paid right? I don't work for a rich kid without some money."
"How does 3 items of your choice sound Nara?"
"Awesome. Do I get to use a computer in this game?"
"The Master."
"You don't mean…"
"Yeah. My dad's computer."
"Im listening. What you need me to do Uchiha?"
"I cant tell you right now Nara, tomorrow morning come to school half an hour earlier and I will give you the information."
"Making me wait. This is why I hate you Uchiha."
"And this is why you are one of my best friends."
"True." The both shook hands and Sasuke ran for his next class.
Chemistry.
"Sasuke!" Sasuke was running through the hallways and turned around when he saw Sakura running towards him.
"Hn."
"Back to your coded language again?"
"Tch."
"Look Sasuke, why were you so quiet when I told you I read that book?"
"No reason."
"What's wrong Sasuke?"
"Nothing. Look we have chemistry lets get to class."
"Can you at least tell me what you are thinking about?"
He widened his eyes.
'What are you thinking about?'
'What am I thinking about? Bashing you in the head with my alarm clock. Nah im thinking about how my first day of school is going to be like.'
He shook his head and looked back at her.
"I can't tell you. But when I find out my answer, I will tell you."
"Promise?"
"Hn."
"Ugh I hate when you do that! Anyway lets get to chemistry!" She grabbed his arm and dragged him to chemistry.
When they arrived in chemistry class. Everyone was there, even that freaky Neji kid.
"Hey guys!" She smiled and waved at them and took a seat at the end of the long table.
"Sakura! You totally have to come see this movie with Hinata and me! It's a total chick flick. Love, Romance, Betrayal, and the whole bunch!"
"Oh that sounds amazing!"
"I know right! 6pm tomorrow is that okay with you?"
"Yeah seems alright, ill ask my mom and I will call you tonight."
"Awesome. But just take my email instead."
"Alright."
Ino took a pen out and began writing on Sakura's agenda. chick?"
"Yeah! I love it!"
"Well whatever, here let write down mine for you."
Sakura took Ino's pen from her hand and wrote down her email down. looked to the side and saw 'Chemical' in Sakura's email. He smirked and looked outside the window.
Chemistry class ended and Sasuke walked down to his locker. Grabbed his books and began walking home. His brother was borrowing his car today, so he had to walk today.
---
Once Sasuke got home he went to his room and threw his bag beside his bed. He sat on his desk's rolling chair and switched on his monitor.
He signed into his email and Shikamaru was already online.

Sakura's mom came to pick Sakura up from school today. Her mom wanted to take her out for dinner tonight, to celebrate Sakura's first week of High school. They went to 'Twin Dragons' to have a nice Asian dinner.
It was something Sakura and her mom didn't do often, they only went to the twin dragons when it was a special day. And Sakura's mom always over reacted.
The two women took a seat as their waiters put glasses of water in front of them both along with menus.
"So how was your day at School Sakura?"
"It was very weird. Sasuke was acting a bit strange, but I guess he was just having a off day."
"Well everyone is human dear."
"I know mom. But guess what! He has a Ferrari! And a private jet!"
"Oh he does?"
"Yeah mom! His is a black Ferrari and it's beautiful! I couldn't stop looking at it at lunch. I mean he is a real boy; it looks as if that car is brand new! It's a 2008 model though, so it is at least 5 months old."
"You sound just like your dad. Always talking about auto mechanics and models of cars. Are you sure you are my daughter?"
"Yes mom! Anyway what do you want to eat?"
"I think I will have some miso soup and butterfly shrimp today."
"Ill have 2 spring rolls and some rice, im not really in the mood to eat a lot."
"Alright angel."
Sakura and her mom enjoyed their dinner as Sasuke was at his home studying his computer screen. Only time would tell when he was going to end this treasure hunt.

Sakura woke up and ran to her computer. Today was someone's birthday and she was up to tell him first.
She signed into ChemicalPink and pressed on "New Message." It was Ekusas's birthday today and she wanted to wish him a happy birthday.
From: Chemical Pink
To: Ekusas
Subject: Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! How is the birthday boy this morning?
From: REPLY. Ekusas
To: Chemical Pink
Subject: Reply Happy Birthday
Why did you have to remind me? Now I just feel old.
But thank you for the Happy Birthday.
Oh great now the family is awake, now I have to go through the birthday torture. I guess I will talk to you later.
Bye.
---
Sakura pouted and sighed. She wanted to have a nice chat with Ekusas but he seemed too busy to talk to her today. Oh well she could always make a nice breakfast in the morning.
---
Sasuke ran to school at 8:45am.
He was 25 minutes earlier than planned to but Shikamaru was already there waiting for him.
"Wow you're early"
"I wouldn't miss any second of this."
"Good. Let me just give you the outline." Sasuke sat next to Shikamaru and sighed, he was going to tell his deepest darkest secret ever since the summer. But what had to be done had to be done.
"You know how I am in…love with someone Shikamaru?"
"Yes."
"Well this person I am in love with. I met her…over the internet…"
"The…Internet Uchiha?"
"Yeah. But you see I realized I really cant wait any longer to meet this person, so I thought maybe you could do something to find out their location?"
"Hmmm."
"I know I sound like im on crack but I really want to see her!"
"Wow Uchiha. If you're going to raise your voice, you must really like this girl. Ugh Fine. How troublesome"
"Can you find her location?"
"Can I? Are you implying you don't know whether I can, or cannot use my 200 IQ for finding your little love bird?"
Sasuke just stared at Shikamaru as he sighed. He slid out his laptop from his backpack on opened the top and his screen shone.
"Do you have her IP address?"
"Her what?"
"Ugh. Do you have any form of access to her?"
"An Email."
"Good. Do you have your laptop with you?"
"Uh yeah." Sasuke pulled out his laptop from his backpack and switched it on and opened the screen.
"Hmpf" Shikamaru pulled out a wire from his backpack and connected it to his computer and attached it to Sasukes computer.
"All right sign into your MSN and drag your cursor over her email."
Sasuke did as he was told and Shikamaru stared at the screen with as much focus as possible. Sasuke just watched the speed Shikamaru had when typing things into his device.
Sasuke watched as a bunch of numbers began skimming through Shikamaru's computer as he picked out a few.
"Got it." He smirked and he continued typing some more and his computer had a sign that came up with red letters. "What? Damnit!"
"What is it."
"Your little lover covered her computer with a number of passwords. I would think she would have chosen 2 passwords at most but she placed a virus in her system as well so no one can get in." His computer screen went black and he closed his computer.
"She's good. Very good, the only way I can get any information is by using a provincial computer which-"
"My father has access to"
"You got it."
"But why?"
"Well…A computer is basically like umm like the human stages. The Baby of the computer is the basic computer itself; the computer needs things to make it operate as so does an infant. As the infant grows older the more complex and more difficult it is to understand it. Especially at teenager." He took a breath and leaned foreword letting his body rest on his legs, supported by his arms.
"As we get further into the hacking process the more difficult and complex it becomes. Problems such as viruses, passwords, codes, etcetera. The Americans created the Internet, the main plant Air force one. Air force one has all the passwords and all the information that the Internet has. If you put a website on the Internet, air force one can find it in 3 seconds flat."
"But we cant go to air force one Shikamaru"
"I realized that. But using a provincial computer we have nearly as much information as the master computer air force one has. The only thing to do now is to get into your fathers computer, get his password get your little puppets password and ill have her exact location."
"Shikamaru there is no way-"
"You want to meet your little lover right?"
"Yes."
"And you said I could use his computer when we made the deal."
"But this is a huge thing Shikamaru!"
"What?"
"You know…"
"Heh. Well Sasuke the only way we can get to your computer is to.."
"Break into his office at work."
"Other wise."
"Hack Into his businesses system and break into his office"
"Bingo"
"Okay."
"Awesome"
The two of them sat up and put their computers back into their backpacks.
"Lets go see what no 16 year olds have seen."
"You know we could go to jail for this right?"
"Yeah. That's the fun part." Shikamaru smirked and pulled out his cell phone. "But you can't get into that building alone and I will be working the systems from the bathroom"
"Who the hell will be crazy enough to get into this crap?"
"Oh you know who." He dialed the number and put it to his ear, as it rung Sasuke swore under his breathe and knew exactly who Shikamaru was thinking of.
"Hey you up for a little life on the edge?" There was talking in the background. "Ramen too? Only if you don't get caught."
"Naruto."
