"Sakura opened her eyes and noticed that there was no Sasuke. She lazily stood and walked into the living room to and that the other girls were already up. "Morning." Sakura said. "Where are the guys?"

"Don't know." Tenten said.

"Well whatever, you guys want to go to the mall with me?" Sakura asked. This caught their attention. Without a word they were all upstairs in their rooms getting ready.

30 MINUETS LATER

"Sakura?" Sasuke called.

"Up here." Sakura's voice came from the stair case. Sake walked up and knocked on the door her sing-song voice had come from. He knocked, and opened when Sakura called him.

"What's up?"

"The girls and I are going to the mall."

"Kay."

"You boys can come if you want." Sakura knew that they most likely they weren't going to want to go, but figured she'd asked anyways.

"Nah the guys and I will wait at our house, come over when you're done. Kay?" Sasuke asked kissing Sakura on the cheek. She nodded and returned the kiss. She watched him go and then she and the girls left for the mall.

AT THE MALL

"Where do you guys want to go?" Hinata asked.

"I have to go to the music store." Sakura said. "I need songs for the talent show, and this years State Music fest."

"When is it?" Tenten asked.

"About three months from now."

"You gonna do a solo?" Ino asked as the walked.

"Yeah and remember that guy who won the men's solo division last year?" she asked the girls nodded. "Well he wants me to sing a duet with him, so I've got to find some songs for that too. He's singing in the talent show with me too."

"Sakura that's so cool." Ino said hugging her best friend.

"Thanks Ino." they drew closer and Sakura knew they didn't really want to go to the music store. "You know you guys don't have to come with me. Go ahead and shop and I'll meet you in the food court in like three hours kay?"

"Sak you sure?"

"Yeah Hinata, go ahead."

"Alright we'll see you in three hours."

Sakura watched them walk away before she walked into the music store. She browsed the shelves and found some CD's that had promising songs. She found Kiss Kiss, I'm a Bitch, I Must Not Chase the Boys, All About Us, and We Belong. One of those had to be a good solo, but what was she going to do about the duet? She looked a bit more and found, Who Says you Can't Go Home, At the Beginning With You, I Put Your Picture Away, A Thing Called Love, Romeo and Juliet, Best Friends, and Hey Juliet.

Then she got an Idea, why shouldn't the four girls sing in the two companions? Sakura browsed for some group songs, and found three by the Cheetah Girls. "Very nice." she said to herself.

"Yes you are." a voice said behind her. Sakura turned and her jade eyes met familiar piercing blue gaze.

"Kankuro!" Sakura threw her arms around the man. Kankuro had a short messy brown mop for hair to go with his blue eyes, he was two years older than Sakura, making him nineteen, he was also the one Sakura would be singing her duet with.

"Hey Sakura."

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I'm down here until Music fest is over, then depending on if we make it or not to nationals on how long I stay."

"Cool, hey I found some songs." Sakura said showing them to Kankuro.

"I see, well let's go down to the food court and listen to them." he said. Sakura paid for the CD's and she walked with Kankuro down to the food court, where they sat for two and a half hours before they decided on what they would sing.

"Sakura!" Sakura looked over her shoulder and saw Ino and the girls walking up to them.

"Hey guys, you remember Kankuro, Kankuro this is Ino, Tenten, and Hinata." Sakura said introducing them.

"Nice to meet you." Kankuro said as he kissed the back of their hands.

"So you guys ready to go home?" Sakura asked. They nodded, and looked at Sakura. "Oh, um Kankuro is going to stay with us till Music fest is over."

"What?!?!" Ino exploded.

"Wait are you dating?" Hinata asked.

"Sakura how could you?" Tenten asked.

"Chill Kankuro and I aren't dating, he's just gonna stay with us, I don't feel right letting a friend stay at a hotel when we have that huge mansion they could stay in for free." Sakura explained. "Jeez I cant believe you thought I would cheat on, my boyfriend."

"Wait little Sakura has a boyfriend" Kankuro asked teasingly. "Is that even possible?"

"Ha ha ha! Very funny."

WITH THE BOYS

"Dobe did the girls call yet?" Neji asked as Naruto entered the living room, where the other three were sitting.

"Yeah, they're on their way, and Hinata said something about Sakura brining somebody else." Naruto said sitting down.

Ding dong

"I'll get it." Neji stood, and walked to the door.

"Neji-kun!" Tenten said, throwing her self at Neji. He picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around his waits. "Miss me?"

"You know I did."

"Oh God my virgin eyes!" Ino shouted. "Get a room would ya?"

"Ino, Shikamarumaru's waiting in the living room." Neji said pointing behind him. Ino took off and jumped up on the couch, on top of Shikamaru, and said, "Hey Shikamaru-kun."

"Hey Ino." he said placing his hands on her waist, and kissing her on the lips. "Miss me?" Ino nodded.

"So much for getting a room." Sakura mumbled walking into the living room.

"Hinata-chan!" Naruto said running up and kissing his girl over and over.

"Sasuke-kun, don't I get a kiss?" Sakura asked when Sasuke made no attempt to get off the couch.

"Why don't you ask your friend?" Sasuke said. I cant believe she led me on like that. She already had a boyfriend.

"Sasuke, they're not dating!" Ino said, breaking away from her make out session for a split second.

"You're not?" Neji asked.

"No, this is Kankuro, just a friend. He doesn't swing that way if you know what I mean, plus he's engaged. Anyway, Kankuro this is Neji, Shikamaru, Naruto and Sasuke." Sakura said. "Jeez Sasuke who knew you were so jealous." Sakura said leaning against the wall.

Sasuke stood, happy that he was wrong, and stalked over to his woman. He pressed against her, and kissed her like he did last night, forcing his tongue in her mouth. When he broke he whispered, "You belong to me. Got that?" Sakura nodded, happy he was a bit possessive, and leaned into his chest.

"So like I was saying, Kankuro is singing with me in the Sate Music fest." Sakura said.

"You're entering again?" Naruto asked.

"We all are." Hinata said, looking at Naruto. "The girls are entering a group, Sakura's singing in a duet and a solo, and so is Kankuro."

"Really? Are you guys singing in the city talent show too?" Neji asked.

"Yeah, you gonna come watch?" Tenten asked.

"No." Sasuke said blankly. "We're entering." he clarified when he saw the disappointment in Sakura's eyes.

"Really? You sing?" Sakura asked in disbelief.

"A bit, you'll just have to wait.
