This chapter almost made me cry.
Almost.
It's sad, but sweet.
Again, I own nothing.
Except my cat, who's biting my arm.
Enjoy!

I can't believe Sasuke would do this to me. But I really should be blaming myself for thinking he actually liked me. I bet he thought it was funny to see me fall for him. I fell like there's probably an explanation behind what he did, but I don't feel like listening.

I glare at Ino.
"You bitch. All you're doing is messing things up."
I walk past her and go to my next class, figuring that I'd let Naruto cool off before I go talk to him.

I have to talk to him. Now. But…I wonder if talking to him at his house is the best idea. Although it's a little late to go back now, since I'm already standing on his doorstep. I take a deep breath and knock on his door. It surprises me that he actually answers. Naruto's glaring at me, though.
"What do you want?"
"I want to talk."
"Maybe I don't want to listen."
"Please, Naruto."
My eyes are pleading with his. Naruto sighs.
"Fine."
He opens the door, letting me walk by him to get in. It hurts me that he won't look at me, but I know how much it must have hurt him to see me supposedly kissing Ino.
Time to get to business.
"Naruto-"
"Why'd you do it?"
Naruto cuts in before I can explain myself.
"I didn't kiss her! She kissed me!"
I must sound frantic.
"That's the oldest line in the book, Sasuke."
He glaring at me again, but it's not anger in his eyes, it's hurt.
"But it's true."
I look at him, trying to make him understand.
"I swear to you, I would never kiss anybody but you."
I drop my gaze to the ground, my voice barely a whisper, but somehow loud enough for him to hear.
"I really care about you, Naruto. Please believe me."
"I…I want to, Sasuke. But…"
Naruto looked at the ground, tears starting to run down his face.
"Can I?"
I walk over to Naruto, tears starting to form in my own eyes. I wipe away his tears with my thumbs.
"Please trust me, Naruto. I would never cheat on you. I love you too much."
I wrap my arms around him and pull him closer to me. Naruto leans his head on my shoulder. Tears are still streaming down his face.
"Sasuke…I felt so lonely. I thought you didn't care about me."
"I will always care, Naruto. And I will never let you feel lonely again."

Kami, I don't think I've ever been this happy before. Naruto and I are back to normal. I'm walking him to English, since my next class, Science, is right next door. Our fingers are laced together, and I can tell that Naruto is truly happy.
"Hey, Sasuke-kun…"
Ino appears right in front of me, smiling.
I ignore her and keep walking with Naruto. Sadly, Ino just reappears in front of us. On her face is what probably is meant to be a cute pout, but it just makes her face that much more ugly.
"Sasuke-kun, how come you've been ignoring me lately?"
I glare at her.
"You want to know why, bitch? I'll tell you why."
Her eyes widen. I bet she wasn't expecting me to be so pissed.
"You hurt Naruto. And if anybody ever hurts the one I love, I will never forgive them."
I start walking again, leaving a speechless Ino behind.
"S-sasuke…"
I turn my head to see my blond beauty.
"Hn?"
I stop since we're right in front of his classroom.
"Thanks."
A slight blush hints at his face.
I smile.
"Anything for my Naru-chan."
I give him a quick kiss.
"Now, get inside before you're late."
Naruto sticks out his tongue, then heads inside. I shake my head and go to my own class.

Authoress's notes: Yeah, a wierd way to end a chapter, I know... but oh well. Oh, and Panda-Pidgeon, I'd love if you two would be my betas!

...And SEXINESS AND BEAUTIFUL, please be a little more appropriate.
