Chapter 19: Left Out No More

Sasuke arrived at Sakura's apartment with the doorbell sounding.

Sakura opened the door. Sasuke smiled as Sakura blushed. Sakura walked towards him as he put his arm around her waist and they went towards the direction of the mall.

It was morning so they got breakfast first. Sakura wanted to but something for Sasuke so she led him to the different shops.

"Do you like this Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she held a silver chain necklace in front of him.

Sasuke smiled.

"Ok this one then!" Sakura was walking towards the counter but stopped as Sasuke hugged her from behind.

"You know…you don't have to give me anything…as long as I have you, nothing else matters." Sasuke smiled, whispering in her ear.

Sakura smiled as he said these words. Just then Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata, Naruto, Neji and Tenten arrived in the shop.

Neji and Naruto were arguing while they entered but all of them stopped as soon as they saw Sasuke embracing Sakura.

They noticed that they were they and Sasuke released Sakura and put his arm in her waist instead, smiling.

Everyone stood frozen to the ground.

"I knew it!" Ino shouted.

Sasuke chuckled so as Sakura.

"Haven't you ever seen a couple before?" Sasuke and Sakura said making them smile.

"Oh my God! I knew it!" Tenten shouted.

Everyone congratulated them and asked Sasuke what made him change his mind.

Naruto and Neji were still fighting.

"What's with those two?" Sakura asked suddenly looking away from the group that squeezed them, asking questions.

"Why don't you go and ask Neji! He's so overprotective!" Tenten said rolling her eyes.

"Overprotective?" Neji spat.

"Well you see…he saw Naruto kissing Hinata while she was in the dressing room picking clothes."

Sakura looked at Naruto then to Hinata who blushed.

Sakura smiled.

"That's it?" Sasuke asked smirking?

"That's it? That's it?! That's my cousin god damn it! She's still young!"

"Neji-kun! I-I'm already 16!" Hinata stammered.

"Even though Hinata!"

Neji sighed and calmed down.

"I'll tell you why…" He pulled Hinata out of the shop and talked to her.

"She is his cousin! But she's already grown up! Damn that Hyuga! Why should he worry!?" Naruto said pouting as he crossed his arms.

"Of course he worries Naruto! She's his cousin! And he's scared that you might hurt her" Tenten said crossing her arms too.

"I know but…why would I hurt her? I love her?" Naruto said shaking his head.

"Why don't we just go and see a movie!" Sakura interrupted.

"Finally…" Shikamaru said sighing in relief.

"I never thought that this would be this scary!" Ino said closing her eyes as she hid herself in Shikamaru's chest.

Hinata screamed as Naruto scared her.

Neji looked at Naruto with a better-watch-it-or-you'll-die kind of look.

Sakura moved herself closer to Sasuke and shivered at the scary part. Sasuke cuddled his head against her hair.

Tenten closed her eyes, Neji realized this and wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.

The guys looked at each other, smirking.

After the movie they went out for lunch.

"That movie was scary…" Hinata said as she picked up her chopsticks.

"It wasn't really that scary…" Naruto said patting her back.

After they ate lunch they went to check out other shops.

By the time the sun set, everybody bid goodbye to each other.

"Hope we do this again some other time" Ino shouted at them as they left going in different directions.

"Sure" Hinata shouted back.

"Just call us!" Tenten shouted waving at them.

"Yeah…" Sakura said.

After a few seconds they rounded in different corners and was out of sight from the others.

As Shikamaru took Ino home he couldn't help but notice that she was somehow thinking of something.

"What's the matter?"

Ino looked at the ground as her smile faded a little.

"All those years of rivalry and now I'm happy for her…"

"But everyone knew that you were still friends before even though you acted like you hated each other." Shikamaru said with an encouraging smile.

"Your right…" Ino returned her smile to Shikamaru.

"They were the happiest couple there…" Tenten was looking at the ground with her eyes closed as she smiled a little.

"I'm glad that Sakura finally has someone that loves her" Hinata said moving closer to Naruto.

"Yeah" Naruto wrapped his arm around her waist.

Sakura was smiling as Sasuke walked her home.

I don't feel left out any more…I have someone who loves me now

Sasuke realized this and asked why she was smiling

"I'm just happy that's all"

They reached Sakura's apartment and she opened the door.

Sasuke was about to say goodnight but Sakura put a finger to her lips.

"Wanna' stay for the night?" Sakura asked him smiling.
