Sasuke dragged Sakura towards his house. Well, not literally. The chakra binding them together had no weakness, really. Sakura sighed. ' I really missed him. W-what if that girl shows up again? Oh, right… If it's right now, it's fine… I can take her any day… But, that girl was pretty strong to lift me up with one hand… nah. I could probably still beat her up. Or down, for that matter…'

" Hey, Sasuke-kun!" a squeaky voice sounded, snapping Sakura out of her thoughts. ' OH NO! IT'S HER!' Sakura thought, horrified. For the first time, she got a good look at the girl. She had long, wavy blonde hair and shining blue eyes that would have been quite attractive, if there weren't the layers and layers of makeup. Her skin was quite tan, and maybe, just maybe, you could mistaken her for Naruto's sister. But Naruto would never do that, so she knew it couldn't be a clone of him. AND he didn't have a sister…

" Who are you?" Sasuke was the first to speak.

" Your ABSOLUTELY NUMBER ONE FAN GIRL!" The girl squealed. " The name's Tiff. Not a nickname, just Tiff." She winked flirtatiously. " Catchy name, isn't it?" Sakura glared at Tiff.

" First of all, your name sounds like a boy's name. Second of all, what's with all that makeup? Sasuke doesn't even know you! And third of all-"

" I don't like long hair." Sasuke interrupted. Sakura and Tiff looked at him, mildly surprised.

---Flashback---

" Hey, Ino! I heard that Sasuke likes long hair, so I grew mine out!"

---End---

" Come on, Sakura." Sasuke grabbed her wrist and led Sakura away.

" B-but SASUKE! I GREW OUT MY HAIR ESPECIALLY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!" Tiff yelled after him. " I THOUGHT YOU WOULD APPRECIATE IT!" Sasuke ignored the girl. Sakura turned around and stuck out her tongue at Tiff.

" Too bad, Tiff! Looks like Uchiha Sasuke didn't like your hair, and probably never will!" Sakura smirked.

" I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU SASUKE-KUN!" Tiff screamed, before going home to cut her hair.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Sasuke?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

" What?"

" Um… is it true? That you like girls with short hair?" For some reason she felt glad she liked her hair short.

" I don't like girls. I just like them with short hair better." Sasuke chuckled. " So Ino, being proud of her newly extremely long hair, would never stand a chance with me." Sakura looked at him.

" Um… and me?" She blushed. Sasuke looked at her and said nothing. She sighed. " I thought so. I'm just a friend/teammate to him. I don't want to ruin this. I mean, I already got this close. That in it-self is real hard, for everyone except probably Naruto. I wonder if he asked Hinata out again." She muttered.

" Did you say something?" Sasuke looked at Sakura.

" Nothing." She sighed again and allowed Sasuke to lead her. " You know, it took Naruto a long time to realize he had the same feelings as Hinata and went to her before Kiba asked her out." Sasuke let out a smirk.

" Hn."

" Stop that."

" Hn."

" I said stop it! It's really annoying!" Sakura frowned at him as they entered Sasuke's house.

" Hn." She looked at him dangerously.

" What did you say…?"

" Hn. Like you could hurt me." Sakura looked at him.

" At least you said something."

" Hn."

" ARGH! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SHUT YOU UP?!" Sakura yelled.

" Hn." Sasuke enjoyed tormenting her. Sakura lunged towards his side. He lunged away, not going very far before the string stopped him.

' I know this may be crazy, but I think it actually might work.' Sakura thought. Lunging on top of him, she began… tickling him. A loud laugh was heard coming out of the house, along with a string of more chuckles and laughs.

" S-stop! P-please! I'm begging you!" Sasuke laughed. Sakura laughed. Now THIS was priceless. THE Uchiha Sasuke, human ice block, was ticklish! Sakura leaned towards him, and stopped tickling him.

" And give me a reason why I should stop?" She whispered in his ear, holding a kunai to his throat.

" Because…" Sasuke began tickling her back. She immediately dropped her weapon, and clutched at her sides.

" No! N-not this!" She laughed hysterically. " Darn… I let my guard down… eek! Stop!" Sakura jumped away, forgetting the rope. In an instant, Sasuke was pulled to her, and landed on top of her. " Um…" Sakura said nervously. Their chests were touching, their lips just an inch apart. " Sorry…" She muttered as Sasuke got off of her.

" Don't do it again." The laughter was gone from his eyes, replaced by his usual seriousness. Sakura sighed. 'What have I done?' She thought miserably, following him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

" T-thanks for the r-ramen, N-Naruto-kun." A certain white-eyed girl blushed.

" Hey! No problem, Hina-chan! Is it okay if I call you that?" Naruto smiled. Hinata nodded shyly. " Great! By the way, have you heard that Sasuke's back? Spread the word!" Naruto paid for their meal and left. Hinata stared after him as he pranced away. Ayame smiled at Hinata.

" Is he your boyfriend?" Hinata blushed at this and nodded. "Looks like you haven't gotten quite used to it yet!" She laughed and went back to cleaning. Hinata blushed and left.

Sakura and Sasuke had found out that, by sitting by the door to the bathroom, they could take turns for the bathroom. (Etc. etc. stuff. Yeah.)

" Um… does this mean we're going to have to share a bed?" Sakura blushed. Madly.

" I'll sleep on one side, you sleep on the other. There. Problem solved." Sasuke showed no reaction.

" Good night."

" Hn."

" Sasuke…!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura stood at the training grounds, waiting for their sensei.

" Jeez, is he ALWAYS late?" Naruto whined.

" Um… for the entire time we've known him… pretty much, yeah." Sakura rolled her eyes.

---1 hour later---

" Hi there!" Kakashi walked up to his cell, with a book in his hand. (YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!)

" YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!" Sakura and Naruto shouted.

" Hn." Sasuke smirked. Sakura whirled around.

" Stop… that…" She gritted through her teeth, and then she turned around again. " So what's your excuse for being late again?"

" I ran into Asuma and Kurenai and we got wrapped up in a conversation about the jounin exams for the two chunin in our group, Sakura, Naruto." The entire team just stared.

" Was that… a actual real excuse?" Sakura stammered.

" Did he just say he was thinking of putting us into the jounin exams?" Naruto gaped.

" Did he just say that you two are Chunin?" Sasuke stared. It looked really funny, you know, the three of them staring at their sensei like that.

" Alright now. Let's get busy, shall we? Tsunade told me what happened, so today… You two get the day off. Naruto, you and I will practice some more." Kakashi sighed. Sakura smiled happily and skipped off.

" Aww, those two are so lucky!" Naruto yelled, following his sensei.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke twitched, not enjoying the fact that so many men were staring at Sakura. After the many years he had been gone, Sakura had grown, obliviously, more beautiful. Even Sasuke had to admit she was rather attractive, and that's saying something! A boy sauntered up to Sakura.

" Hey there, cherry blossom. How would you like to go on a fabulous dinner, just you and me?" He winked. Sakura looked at him, annoyed.

" No, I'm afraid I would rather not. Now please go away." Sasuke watched in smug amusement as four other boys were rejected in the same manner.

" Sasuke?" Sakura asked after a while.

" What?"

" Haven't you missed Naruto? Really, haven't you even talked to anybody but your own team?"

" No."

" Don't you want to?"

" No."

"… You are impossible." Sakura sighed. "Have you heard that Gaara is the Kazekage?"

" Yes." Sakura glared at him.

" Would you like to have ANY conversations with anybody?"

" No."

" Well, that's too bad! Ino told us to meet the rest of the 'rookie' nine and team Gai for a picnic."

" I'm not going." Sasuke said stubbornly.

" That's too bad." She began to drag him towards the park. Sasuke dug his heels in the ground.

" No, I'm not going." Sakura smirked.

" Like I said, TOO BAD." Gathering chakra in her legs, she managed to overpower Sasuke and drag him all the way to the park, of course, because of her training. (THANK YOU TSUNADE!)

" HI SAKURA-CHAN! HEY DOBE!" Naruto called out, with a full mouth. Hinata sighed and reminded him not to eat with a full mouth.

" Hey, forehead!" Ino grinned.

" Hey, pig. Mind helping me with mister grouchy here, who I had to drag all the way here?" Sakura smiled. Ino left the barbeque unguarded, which was a big mistake, as Chouji finished it in one massive gulp.

" Chouji! Darn, where IS Shikamaru?!" Ino whined, running back over to Chouji and dragging him away from the rest of the meat.

" I'm right here." A lazy voice sounded.

" HI SHIKAMARU!" Naruto shouted.

" Don't be so loud, the whole world will crumble." Shikamaru sighed. Temari, who was right behind him, elbowed him.

" Be nicer to him. He's just stupid." She grinned, and leaned over to give him a peck on the cheek before leaving. Shikamaru blushed and joined Naruto. Naruto nudged him.

" Why didn't you tell me you two were dating?" He asked. Shikamaru sighed.

" Because you would have told everyone, and somehow, it would have gotten to Ino, and Ino is the gossip queen." Sasuke stared at his group of friends, who were making an extremely loud racket, and sighed as he allowed Naruto to talk him into eating.

" He's as handsome as ever!" Ino squealed. " I can imagine it, one day, he'll ask me to go out with him!" Sakura rolled her eyes.

" Now, why haven't you changed?" She sighed. " He comes back after so many years and that's all you can think of? Sheesh, you really are low." Sakura joked. Ino pouted.

" You're just jealous because Sasuke likes me." Ino huffed.

" Like you?" Yeah, right." Sakura smirked. "Just yesterday, Sasuke mentioned he likes girls with short hair."

" You're just jealous because my hair is so long and yours is so short." Ino stuck out her tongue.

" Yeah, right. Go ahead, ask him." Sakura sighed. Sasuke got up and began to walk, causing Sakura to stumble along with him. Ino ran up to him.

" Hey, Sasuke-kun!" She said flirtatiously. "I was just wondering if you like long hair like my own, or short, ugly hair, like Sakura's?" She asked. Saskue groaned and answered her, then shooed her away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, and Gai watched all of this from up in a tree.

" I think this is amusing." Asuma laughed lightly.

" I agree! It is wonderful to see such youth get along so well!" Gai pumped a fist.

" I heard that Neji and Tenten are going out." Kurenai stated. "Some pair!"

" Indeed!" Gai gave his good-guy grin. Asuma, Kakashi and Kurenai all sweat-dropped.

" Since Sasuke has come back, Sakura has seemed pretty shaken when not around her friends. Is she okay?" Kurenai looked at Kakashi.

" Yeah… She's fine." Kakashi looked at the girl. "I think she still holds feelings for him and he… he's the one oblivious to it, or at least ignorant."

" Right."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura smiled weakly as Ino tried to flirt with Sasuke.

" Seriously, I thought after that slap yesterday, you would have lost interest in him." Sakura sighed. "Even after all this time, you STILL go after him? Hmm… I wonder how you see with that patch of hair over your eyes…?" Sakura poked at Ino's hair.

" Don't you DARE touch my beautiful hair!" Ino huffed. (…) Sakura rolled her eyes.

" Right. You wouldn't mind if Sasuke touched it, right?"

" No, I wouldn't mind. But you aren't Sasuke."

" Sasuke thinks your hair looks like wood." Sakura said teasingly.

" You made that up."

" Aw, how'd you guess?"

" Because Sasuke likes me."

" No he doesn't."

" You made that up, too."

" No I didn't."

" Yes you did."

" No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

" Be quiet, you two." Sasuke groaned. He had to listen to this extremely long conversation because of the darn chakra string.

" Okay, Sasuke-kun." Ino said obediently.

" Whatever Uchiha." Sakura said.

" Don't call me that." Sasuke twitched.

" Don't 'Hn' me."

" Don't call me Uchiha."

" Deal." The two glared.

" Jeez, you two argue like you're married or something." Naruto said. Sakura blushed lightly.

" Naruto?"

" Yeah?" BAM! Sakura punched Naruto into the ground. " Ow… Sakura-chan, why did you have to do that? That hurts!"

" That's the idea!" Sakura growled, and punched him again. Naruto held the large bump on his head. Hinata giggled.

" Sakura… I want to leave." Sasuke sighed.

" Party pooper!" Naruto pushed Sasuke, causing him to land on Sakura…again. The two blushed. Yes that's right. Sasuke is blushing! Suddenly, everything was quiet.

" Um…" Sakura blushed. ' Not this again!' She thought, and began to wriggle under Sasuke. "Could you please get off?" Sasuke got off, allowing Sakura to punch Naruto all the way across the village."

" OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto yelled, flying off into the sky with a 'ding' similar to when Team Rocket blasts off. Hinata sighed and leaped off to get Naruto.

" I feel bad for her." Sakura shook her head. Sasuke dragged her towards the Uchiha estate. "No! I don't want to go!" Sakura pouted cutely. Normally, that would have made any guy swoon, but when it comes to Sasuke…

" No."

" Yes!"

" No."

" Yes!"

" NO!"

" AND I SAID YES!" Sakura glared. Sasuke sighed.

" Fine."

" Yay!" Sakura dragged Sasuke off.

" This is even worse than yesterday…" Sasuke grumbled.
