"Just like Icha Icha Paradise."

Chapter 4: Tsunade's love advice.

"Kakashi-sensei! What are you doing here?" Sakura asked surprised.

"I won't ask what the two of you are doing here," he started. Sakura colored. "It's not what you think it is, sens-" but she was cut off by Kakashi.

"I came here for you, Sasuke. The Hokage wants to see you."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "How does she know that I came back?" he asked suspiciously.

Kakashi grinned. "We know you were back, the minute you came through the gate. We know everything that is going on here, you know, Sasuke." Kakashi sighed. "Well," he said. "She expects you in her office in 15 minutes. It was nice seeing you again." And with another 'poof' he was gone again.

"He's probably reading his stupid book somewhere," Sakura muttered disapprovingly.

"Hn," Sasuke answered, being his old self again.

Thanks Kakashi-sensei, thanks allotSakura thought sarcastically. Now he is back to his old cold habits.

"I'll take you home and then I'll see the Hokage," Sasuke said coldly.

Sakura's inner self sighed loudly.

"Okay," Sakura sighed.

He frowned, was she finally giving up?

He took her home and then went away to see the Godaime.

Sakura decided to give Ino a ring.

"Ino here!" She heard Ino saying.

"Ino, I'm having huge problems with Sasuke," Sakura started.

"O, Sakura, I'm so sorry, I can't talk right now. In ten minutes I have to on a mission with Shika-kun." She heard the regret in Ino's voice.

"Well, it doesn't matter. It can wait," Sakura answered. She hoped it would sound a little bit cheerful.

"'Kay, bye Sakura! I'll come over as soon as I'm back!" Then she hung up.

Stupid Ino-pig, Sakura scowled.

She tried to call Hinata, because she really felt like talking to one of her friends, but her little sister Hanabi told her that she was out training with Naruto.

Tenten did pick up the phone.

After Sakura explained the whole situation, Tenten screamed in anger: "I'll beat that jerk up for you!"

Sakura smiled at the enthusiastic voice of Tenten. She loved to beat people up. Now she had her reason. Sakura was sure that she was already planning what weapons she would bring.

"I don't think that is going to solve the problem, Tenten," Sakura replied.

Tenten sighed in disappointment. "Then I'll bring Neji! He doesn't like Sasuke anyway!"

"Thanks Tenten, but it's really not a problem you could solve with violence. Trust me, I've already tried," Sakura sighed as she remembered her failed attempt earlier.

"Then just come over to my place. I have chocolate!" Tenten suggested.

"I'll be there in ten minutes," Sakura answered. After all, anything can be solved with chocolate.

"Sakura, that's quite a problem you have there."

"Don't tell me," Sakura sighed. "It's just that I would die to marry him, but it would just hurt me eventually. He wouldn't love me."

"I guess you're right," Tenten answered. "I don't know what you like about him anyway. I mean he is cute. But that's about it."

"Cute? He has the best ass I've ever seen!" Sakura replied.

"Pff, Neji's ass isn't bad either."

"I've almost seen him naked," Sakura blushed. Her blush deepened as she thought about him wearing only her towel.

"You did?!" Tenten shouted. "Wow, good job Sakura. How did that happen?"

Sakura told the other kunoichi about the incident earlier.

Tenten smirked. "That was only the beginning," she stated.

Sakura blinked and laughed. "Who knows," she joked.

One hour later, she left for her apartment, much happier than she had been before.

Sakura came back home and found Sasuke sitting at her bed, with in his hands… Her diary?! He didn't!
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screamed. Sasuke looked up with worry was written all over his face. Sakura was surprised and forgot her anger for a minute. A worried Sasuke was not very common.

"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" She asked with her sweet, caring voice.

"Sakura, what would happen if our boys would get pink hair?" he asked worried.

Sakura snapped.

"It won't happen!" she cried. "We won't have kids! I will not marry you! and what are you doing with my diary?"

"Here," he said, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket.

Sakura looked confused, but took it out of his hands and began to read.

As she did, she turned pale. Written on the note was:

Sakura,

I know that you will not like this, so I'm sorry. But you have to consider Sasuke's proposal. It's for the sake of Konoha. You're the only one that could probably start a family with him. Take it as a mission. I'm not saying you have to marry him right away. Just hang out with him. Maybe you will find a way to get along. I know he hurt you, but don't you still love him, Sakura?

Don't forget he has gone through allot of trouble and pain.

Just imagine if it would have happened to you.

I'm sorry, there is no other option.

Tsunade.

"Tsunade-shizou…" she whispered.

Love advice from Tsunade? She didn't have to deal with this coldhearted boy.

Of course she still loved him, she just didn't want to be hurt for the rest of her life.

"You didn't read it, did you?" Sakura asked Sasuke.

"No," he replied

Sakura tore the note apart and dropped it on the ground.

"Good," she answered, staring at the pieces. She thought about Tsunade's words for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Well, want to go out tonight?" Just like she used to, years ago.

"No," Sasuke answered, staring at her.

"What?" She asked surprised. It still hurt though. He came up with the let's-get-married-and-have-children-stuff.

"I want to invite Naruto over. In fact, I already did. He will be coming in ten minutes with that Hyuga girl. He insisted on that," he added, rolling his eyes. "We'll have dinner together."

He left the room and a perplexed Sakura.

Ten minutes later, Naruto bursted in with a loud: "Sasuke-teme!" And a shy Hinata next to him whispered: "H-hey."

Naruto embraced Sasuke, who was muttering: "Let go, dobe." But he did not really sound angry. After all, he had not seen his best friend for four years after almost killing him.

Hinata went to the kitchen where Sakura was starting to cook some dinner.

Bastard, telling me ten minutes before they arrive, that they arrive. Che, I should have made him cook some dinner, she thought.

"S-Shall I help y-you, Sakura-chan?" She asked shyly.

Sakura turned around as she heard Hinata's whispering voice. "That would be a great help, Hinata!" she said happily.

"S-So, Sasuke-kun finally c-came back?" Hinata asked. "N-Naruto-kun was s-so happy when he s-saw him," she smiled.

"Well, at least he is," Sakura growled.

"S-Sasuke-kun t-told u-us that h-he w-was going t-to m-m-m-marry you!" said a crimson read Hinata, stuttering even more than usually.

"He told me that too. And four years ago, I would have died to hear that question from him. But the problem is, he didn't even ask it. He just told me to marry him. Can you believe that? Like I would obey him, che, I'm not a dog. Moreover, he would never love me. Naruto is crazy about you, but Sasuke-kun only wants me because I'm a strong and available kunoichi who can bare his children. It's just not fair," Sakura sighed sadly.

Dinner was almost ready now, so she yelled: "Dinner's ready!" Hinata offered to finish it, so Sakura could place the plates on the table. Sasuke and Naruto were already sitting at the table, waiting for the food to arrive.

Hinata sat down next to Naruto, so Sakura could only sit down next to Sasuke.

"So teme, did you manage to kill Itachi?"

"Yes, two days ago. It almost killed me, if Sakura would not have healed me, I would be dead."

He caressed Sakura's cheek and she blushed against her will.

"And so now are you marrying Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked happily.

"Yes."

"No!" They answered at the exact same time.

"Sasuke-kun! I told you I didn't want to marry you!" Shouted Sakura, not noticing that Naruto and Hinata were glancing at each other.

"Hn," he answered plainly.

"Oi, teme, what's the problem? You told me Sakura-chan was dying to marry you!" That remark actually made Sasuke blush. "Shut up, dobe."

"Ano, ano, but you did tell me that, dattebayo!"

"I will not marry Sasuke-kun," Sakura interfered.

"Why not Sakura-chan? You love him, don't you?"

Sakura was very pissed off, talking about her as if she wasn't there.

"Give me one good reason, why you shouldn't marry him!" Naruto said in his loud voice. He was totally unaware of what he was doing. He just did not understand why his best friend wanted to marry his best female friend, but she refused. It was too confusing.

"Because," she started, trying to make it clear once and for all. "it doesn't matter how much I love him, he will never love me! I don't want to be hurt for the rest. Of. My. LIFE!" Her voice getting louder every spoken word.

An awkward silence filled the room. All three of her friends were staring at her.
