Woope-doo. Notice that I'm being sarcastic. School, what a pain in the ass. It is just so annoying! So I'm thinking that this story would only last about like three more chapters.. I'm going to be working my ass off in getting these done so you better be thankful! Hehe.

Sorry for late update? Well you see what happened was.. Ah, nevermind. I rather just say that I got so caught up in things. Remember earlier how this story was updated at the speed of light?

That doesn't seem to be happening now!

Thank you to everyone that reviewed. I .. enjoyed reading your reviews. x)

Enjoy.

Do not own Naruto.


A few hours later, Sakurawas currently trapped watching a bloody romance movie with her female friends. She wondered why they decided to unexpectedly show up at her place and then demand to have a 'girl day' she knew they had something planned. Everyone was way to into the romance of 'Titanic' to notice Sakura was not paying at all.

Bored emerald eyes glanced at her friends as she saw that they were all tearing up. Some part of her couldn't blame them. Leonardio Capriowas so very hot, even she had to admit. Truth be told, she would have cried but she wasn't paying attention to the movie. Instead she was munching on some chips that her friends were nice enough to buy.

"No!! This movie makes me cry every single time I watch it!!" dramatically yelled Temari who was blowing into a small paper tissue.

"I'll never let go, I promise." whispered Tentenalong with the actress on the television. Hinata had her head dug into Sakura's couch pillow while Inowas staring at the movie with much interest.

Much to Sakura's relief, and the others dismay, there was a knock on the door and Sakura jumped up to go get it. Her hand opened it widely and shock crossed her features as she saw who was standing there, "Dylan..? What are you doing here?" her head that was full of pink locks cocked to the side.

"I really need to talk to you," he stated. "I'm in a bit of a problem." Sakuranodded and told him to go to her room and wait for her there while she informed the girls. Once she got back into her room Dylan quickly launched into a conversation. She sat on her bed curious of what he was going to say, he took a deep intake of air, "What would you do if you broke up with someone but deeply regreted it?"

"What are you talking about? Where is this getting at?" she asked nervously.

"No, please. Don't get overworked just answer the question. I'm in this.. problem.. and I know that you think of me that I am so weired that I'm freaking you out for coming to you because I haven't seen you or talked to you in forever. But I called twice sometime yesterday and you didn't answer. My only option was to come here..."

"That was you?" he nodded, "How'd you get my number anyway?"

"Long story. Back to my problem please? That is, if you could help."

"Sure! I'll help you as much as I can." On the inside she was throwing a tantrum. "What's your problem?"

"Okay you see I have this friend.." he started, "He went out with this guy but broke up with him to leave for another dude, and now he wants the first dude back and now my friend has no idea what to do.."

Her mind swirled. She knew very well that he was screaming 'I want Sasuke back' and that made her heart clentch with this feeling that she knows to well. A feeling called jealousy. Instead of confronting him about what was on her mind to Dylan she gave him a small fake smile, "..You should tell your friend to go to him. To tell this man about his feelings.. is that all?"

He nodded, his pale hand wiped a few of his blue bangs away from his face. After a few more hours Dylan left her house contented of what Sakura was doing for him. Making her way back to the room where all the other females were she plopped down on her sofa next to Ino. Her, now slightly dull, eyes noticed that they placed in another movie.

"What'd he say?" whispered Ino secretly.

"...Nothing important.."

Her baby blue eyes glared her her friend, "Don't lie to me Forehead. What really happened?"

And so she told the story that only happened moments ago.


"You think he wouldn't mind? I mean what if he was in the middle of something really important?" asked Sakura meekly as she was being shoved to Sasuke's front door by her friend Ino, who smired reassuring her that everything was fine. "But don't you think that this outfit is a bit.. well I don't know what to say but it really makes me uncomfortable.." he said glancing at her white tank top where you could tell what color bra she was wearing which was a dark blue.

Luckily, she was able to grab a small black cardigan before she walked out of her house. Her jean shorts showed her long, smooth legs to the world which made her so uncomfortable because she was so used on wearing jeans.

That, and the fact that she never liked her body played a big role. She reasoned her friends that it looked odd, but to them she had a 'bomb' body. "You look fine. I am so glad that I forced you into shaving your legs, so prickally!" teased Ino. Sakuraglared at her and crossed her arms. "This plan is bullet-proof. You just go in his house and talk casually with him.. then just secretly bring up the conversation of relationships and sexualities.."

"You know the saying 'easier said than done'?" asked Sakura, because they were now in front of his door whispering to eachother hoping that he didn't hear their conversation.

"What about it?" replied Ino curiously.

"This is one of those times where the saying fits perfectly..." mumbled Sakura making Ino laugh loudly. It was at that same minute that Sakura's long time friend knocked on the door and ran away. Leaving Sakura horrified of what might happen. Would he tell her to leave? Surprised and let her go in? How exactly was she going to question his sexuality? I mean, if it was him that confronted her she it would be hella awkward.

The door shot opened. A wide, friendly smile stretched on her face and her bright, cherry emerald eyes expected to see Sasuke's surprised face but who she saw was way different. Her smile faltered and her eyes instantly hardened. It was him, and by the look on his face something good happened.

At the moment, she did not feel the need to talk to Sasuke anymore. Speak of the devil, he came by and stood behind Dylan with surprise on her face. Her lips attempted to make another smile but it just didn't come. "Saki?" he questioned. Confused emerald green eyes stared at him and nodded.

"..Ah, Sakura." Dylan casually said. Something about the tone of his voice made him sound different. Colder. A smirk played on his lips while she stared astounded. "I must be going now. I'll see you all later.." he said he turned to look at Sasuke and kissed him on the cheek. Her eyes looked to the right, avoiding the coming emotions that were starting to eat her alive.

Once he left Sasuke ushered her inside, "...What are you doing here?"

"Came to chat. Same old, wanted to hang out.. you know.." There was a momentarily pause before Sakura spoke up again, "How are you? How's life?" She noticed that in his eyes there was something bothering him, and the fact that he would usually rake his hand through his hair time to time was a obvious sign that he was stressed.

"Peachy.." he murmured mostly to himself. Sakura asked what happened and what Dylan talked about when he was here, "Nothing."

A groan escaped the lips of Haruno Sakura, "You have got to stop doing that you know how annoying it is to have someone lie to you? Lying is bad. Get that through your head. Okay, now. Tell me what happened."

Sasuke stood up and walked towards her only to take a seat next to her as his deep coal eyes stared deeply into her emerald green ones.


"S-Sakura! A-are you positive that is wh-what he s-said?" Hinata asked shocked on the story Sakura just gave her. None of the other females were there so it only left the two. "Y-you could b-be w-wrong, Sa-Sakura.." The pink haired woman jumped up from the bar stool in the kitchen of the Hyuuga household and paced around.

After a painfully long minute she spoke, "Of course I'm positive! I mean - Ugh!! - Seriously?! God!" Sakura dug into her back pocket and took out what seemed to be a photo. She unfolded it and her eyes slowly softened. "Look at this picture, Hinata.. Please tell me you see something that could happen between us.." Sakura handed the picture and waited for a response.

There was a gasp and Hinata turned to look at Sakura, "...Y-you know th-that S-Sasuke was o-only s-smoking... that night..?"

"What?! What do you mean? How could you know anyway? You were asleep, for goodness sake!"

Hinata out-of-nowhere grinned at her friend and placed the picture down on the counter and motioned for Sakura to come to her. And she did, "You s-see that? - " she pointed to his mild red eyes, "It sh-shows that he smoked, agreed?" Sakura nodded and intently stared at the picture of her, the licorice, and Sasuke. "L-look at his face, c-compared to your o-own.."

When she realized where Hinata was trying to imply, she was getting a bit dizzy. Sasuke's eyes were a bit red, yes. And he's tolerance of alchol was outstanding. There wasn't even a tint of red on his cheeks showing that he was drunk. It all made sense yet at the same time, somehow it didn't. Sasuke was sober during the picture was taken, that's for sure.

Her pink brows knitted together in confusion, "That still doesn't make sense on how or why he would actually think about taking Dylan back. You should have been there, I made a complete fool of myself. It was so embarrassing!"

"I th-think that y-you should t-tell him how y-you f-feel about this whole t-thing.." advised Hinata sipping on her orange juice. The pink haired woman continued pacing and pondering on what she would do about the entire thing. After a few moments, she turned to Hinata and nodded.

"Fine. I'll tell him how I feel.. but I will not tell him that I loved him this whole time.."


Driving in her car, her pink hair danced in the wind due to the window that was rolled down. Her right hand popped the album called ,'Dying Is Your Latest Fashion,' in her radio player and the song, 'Not Good Enough For The Truth or Cliche' by Escape the Fate came on. Sakura had decided just to drive around to get her mind off of things.

As she stepped on the brakes due to a red light her fingers started drumming on the steering wheel. Hopefully, Sasuke wouldn't choose Dylan just because 'he misses him' and all that bullshit. Then she thought about how Juugo would feel if Dylan breaks up with him just for Sasuke. Surely, he does not deserve it.

Her phone rang and she looked at the caller ID, 'Sasucake!' she laughed at the memory she called him that. It was so long ago. Still giggling she pressed speak phone, "What happened?" she asked loudly.

"Nothing, what're you doing?" he asked.

"Driving around, being bored. Same old, same old.. You?"

"Couch, television, nothing much. You wanna hang out with the group today?"

"And give you the chance of ditching me? No thanks." she replied jokingly.

There was a chuckle on the other end, "Who am I going to ditch you for?"

"Err.. nevermind that. Are you really going to go out with Dylan again?"

"Don't know. I don't want to put Juugo through the pain, he's really nice.."

"Do you still like Dylan...?" she asked.

"Now that I think about it, I don't because I like someone else at the moment.."

That one shocked her, "Whoa! How come I never knew this?!"

"Because it's - "

"Sasuke.." she cut him off, "I know this is going to sound very strange and I have a feeling that you might think it's a prank and all but listen to me.. it isn't. What I'm really trying to say is that I'm in love with you... and not in a sister-brother way.. Please, just don't hate me." her voice cracked.

"Sakura I-" Not being able to take the rejection she closed her phone. Lifting her head up she was thankful that she absentmindedly drove to her house. Her phone then rang again and she didn't really need to check because she knew for a fact that it was Sasuke. Throwing it carelessly on her kitchen table she ran upstairs to take a nice shower.

As she came back down stairs a hour later dressed in basketball shorts and a loose red shirt her hand quickly snatched her phone to find twenty missed calls. Ten from Sasuke. Three from Temari, two from Tenten, one from Hinata and four from Ino. Deciding that she would just act as if she never recieved any calls she turned on the TV watching pointless advertisements.

"..I'm hungry.." she stated softly as she walked her way into her kitchen. "...Leftover pizza? Cereal? Maybe I should just eat some strawberries.. I could do some fruit right now." In her mind, she thought talking to herself was normal. Well, she thought that everyone talks to theirselves once in a while. She picked up a large bowl full of fresh strawberries and with a quick wash, she ate them on her couch.

Ding.

Dong.

Not knowing who it was, she quietly made her way and looked through the peep hole. "Fuck!" she cursed, and made her way to her couch in a attempt to ignore that man on her doorstep.

"Sakura! I know you're here! I could see your fuckin' car! Open the door!!!!!"

Someone kill her now.


Wow short right? Yeah, I have to go! It would have gone longer and all but I'm busy and I have to go! Review!!!
