Recap:

He got himself up and slowly walked to his dining room, while he was thinking about Naruto and his mysterious plan.

Chapter 12: Naruto's observation

As they were having dinner together, Sakura told him about her teaching the new medic nins. "Shizou was so satisfied with the results, that I could continue," she told him proudly. "Oh and today the strangest thing happened by the way. Lee-san came in, horribly beaten up. As I asked who had done this to him, he started to cry. Can you believe that?"

Sasuke smirked in respond.

"That's not funny, Sasuke-kun!"

"I believe it is."

Sakura looked stunned at him, then realization washed over her face and she asked: "Do you have something to do with this?"

He didn't even bother to look innocent. "He had to stop hitting on you," he shrugged. His smirk emerged again. "And by the way he acted, he must have stopped for sure. It was about time he would realize that you are mine and only mine." He was referring to what Sakura told him a moment ago and Sakura stared at him.

"You can't just beat someone up for that!"

Sasuke just laughed. "He deserved it."

Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Alright, no sex." She stood up. Sasuke stared at her in utter disbelieve. "Don't be so irrational!"

She turned around and said: "Not until you apologize to Lee-san."

"And having him hitting on you again? I don't think so!" Sasuke snapped.

"Well, it's you loss," she shrugged, but silently smiled.

Although I cannot tolerate his behaviour, he is definitely opening up his feelings, she thought. And I kind of like his possessive side, but still…

Sasuke stared at Sakura's back as she walked out of the room. His first thought was: Holy crap, his second was his favourite line, the one she hated the most. An Uchiha always gets what he wants. No way that I will apologize to that idiot. Che, who does she think she is, ordering me around? Well, she is very caring, that one is for sure, but still…

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At the end of the day, they both went to bed together. Sakura was too stubborn to give in and rolled over.

Sasuke, not planning to give up, undressed himself and made sure that Sakura would notice.

She was just pretending to be oblivious, while in fact, she was nearly trembling. She wanted him so badly, but she had to be strong.

I can't let him treat Lee-san like that… Though it was getting pretty annoying that he always is hitting on me. Damn it, I can practically feel his body heat. Why does he have to be so dead sexy? I can only peek. I have to see him! At least… Damn it. I'll just run my hand over his abs… Well, his chest as well… and his hair, I definitely have to touch his hair or I won't be able to sleep. Oh no! I can't stop! Damn it, why does he have to be so dead sexy?!

Sasuke just smirked as he rolled on top. Hadn't he said so?

"Oh, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura moaned.

Sasuke's smirk just grew bigger. An Uchiha always gets what he wants, he thought.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day, Sakura received an official message which said:

Sakura-chan,

Please meet me at the training grounds,

I would like to talk to you about

Sasuke-kun.

Hyuga Hinata.

Sasuke asked: "What did it say?"

Sakura scowled at his sudden nosiness and said vaguely: "Hinata wants to see me."

Sasuke just smirked and said: "Good." He walked away and left a dumbfounded Sakura. She stared at his back as he walked away, but shrugged after a while and made her own way to the training grounds. Hinata had not told her what time she had to be there, so she assumed the Hyuga heiress meant as soon as possible. Sakura was wondering what Hinata wanted to talk about.

It is about Sasuke-kun, yet what would she want to talk about? She wondered.

A familiar chakra emerged behind her and a voice asked: "A-Ano, Sakura-chan?"

The pink-haired girl turned around, smiling at the shy girl.

"You wanted to talk?" she asked kindly. Hinata slowly blushed, not knowing how to begin. Then she reminded herself that this was a mission: a mission to bring two of her friends together, so she asked: "Can w-we go somewhere w-w-where we can talk?"

"Sure Hinata, where do you want to go?"

Hinata activated her Byakugan and looked around. She smiled and nodded. "W-Well, here is f-fine. There is n-n-nobody here."

Sakura sat down under a tree and Hinata followed her. "So, you wanted to talk about Sasuke-kun?" she asked cheerfully. Hinata blushed again and hesitated.

"N-Naruto-kun told m-me that… Well, h-he and Sasuke-kun were t-training together, a-and as he asked S-Sasuke-kun if he w-w-was falling in love with y-you, he b-b-blushed!" She managed to exclaim.

Sakura let it sink in. Sasuke-kun blushed? Because Naruto asked if he was falling in love with me? Sasuke-kun blushed

"He actually blushed?" Sakura asked to make sure she had heard it right. Hinata happily nodded in response.

"So… Sasuke-kun is actually falling in love with me?" she asked, emphasizing the love. She stared at her friend. Hinata nodded shyly. Sakura let out a shriek and hugged the other girl. Hinata looked stunned and flushed at the sudden contact.

Naruto had, for this occasion, hidden himself in a tree and had masked his chakra. He was grinning now. Their plan was finally coming together. He looked over his right shoulder and saw his former sensei reading his perverted book.

"It's your turn tomorrow, Kakashi-sensei," he grinned, happy with Hinata and his achievement.

"I know, I know," he older man replied, flipping a page of his book. He grinned and held his book tighter, while his cheek slightly coloured.

Naruto swiftly pulled out a shuriken and threw it at the annoying, never-likely-to-disappearing book. Kakashi dodged it easily, by catching it through the hole in the middle with his index finger. He didn't even blink.

Naruto sighed and returned to watch his girlfriend and his former team mate. His grin reappeared as he saw that Sakura was excitingly talking to the pale-eyed girl.

Stage two of the plan: 'Get Sasuke and Sakura married' had succeeded as well.

Stage two: make Sakura aware of the fact that Sasuke is already in love with her. He took out a piece of paper and a pen to write down his report for Tsunade.

Obaa-chan,

Stage 2 of the plan: 'Get Sasuke-teme and

Sakura-chan hooked up for ever' is completed.

Naruto

p.s. Kakashi-sensei really is perverted;

he is non-stop reading his dirty book.

I even think I heard him say: I wish that –

Tsunade read the report contently. As she read the p.s. she saw that the paper was ripped and smiled. Kakashi must have intervened there, she thought, shaking her head.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After Sakura had her talk with Hinata, she went happily to the hospital. She was daydreaming about how Sasuke had blushed after Naruto had asked him if he was in love with her. She was so busy with her own thoughts, that she had failed to notice that she was almost running into someone.

"Sakura-san!" The vaguely familiar voice exclaimed. She looked startled as she looked up to face the owner of the voice. "What a pleasant surprise! Just as I was looking for my eternal rival. I am sure that you, as the Hokage's apprentice and his former student, know where he is!" Gai exclaimed self-assured. He crossed his arms and looked expectantly. Sakura sweat-dropped and said: "Uhm, no sorry." Then she walked away.

Why do I always run into those… people? She asked herself.

But nothing could ruin her perfect mood. She started her daydreaming again.

As she arrived at the hospital, the usual mass of wounded boys was at least reduced to half.

Sakura didn't mind it at all, yet she wondered how it was possible that suddenly her whole fanclub was not trying to convince her to date them.

A nurse rushed towards her and smiled excitedly.

"Sakura-san, some of the boys told us that they were threatened by your fiancé to stop hunting you down, or else he would make them feel real pain. Congratulations!" she added at the end. Sakura was confused, since she didn't quite see the connection between a threat and 'congratulations'.

"With your fiancé, I mean," the nurse made clear as she saw Sakura's expression.

Sakura sighed. He did it again, she thought. But the nurse mistook it as a sigh of happiness, so she started babbling about how happy she was for her and if the rumours were true: Was it the Uchiha Sasuke who proposed to her?

But Sakura just laughed: "I did not hear anything about any proposal."
The nurse looked disappointed and walked away, muttering something like: "This is the last time I believed Ayame-san."
Sakura gave her one last odd look and shrugged before she went to work.

Despise the odd incident, Sakura could not stop dreaming about a perfect life with her Sasuke-kun. Oddly, she felt butterflies in her stomach. She had loved him for so many years, starting as a childhood crush. But now, it started to seem like he was loving her back, it felt so different. She felt incredibly happy, but on the other hand, she was nervous. Nervous as hell.

I don't know where this comes from, but I feel so nervous. I have even slept with him (and at that point she slightly coloured) but now it seems that he actually is falling in love with me. I still cannot believe it though. After all those years… Does Sasuke-kun finally want to be mine? Hmm… I do find it a little bit strange that suddenly everyone is talking about us. No, that is not totally true. It is more like they are trying to pair us up.

But Sakura was snapped out of her thoughts, as Kiba came to see her, because of an injury. She cured him and they had a little talk. Nothing special, until Kiba said: "Hey, Naruto is acting pretty weird lately."

Sakura laughed and answered: "Well, isn't he always?"

But Kiba looked at her and said: "I know, but I mean really weird. And the disturbing part is that it is not only him: Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata and Naruto were discussing something, but as I walked by, they suddenly shut up. Like I wasn't allowed to hear anything. I was curious, so I asked Hinata about it, but she just stuttered that it was nothing. I could smell that she was hiding something." Akamaru barked to emphasize what Kiba had said and Sakura frowned. What was going on?
