A/N: I'm posting up two chapters today because I'm not going to be here in Christmas so this was suppose to be put in Christmas. I'm going to be in Phillipines where there's no internet. But I'll write more when I'm in the airplane and stuff.

Chapter Ten

Panic! In the Cafe!

It's been two weeks. Two okay weeks for Sakura. She decided to deal with Sasuke hating her. But of course it was an act. She was still sad, but she didn't cry over it.

"Hey Sakura, what are you doing this Friday night?" Meg asked, as she was leaning on the doorway to Sakura's room.

Sakura was throwing clothes everywhere frantically, muttering something about nothing to wear.

"I'm going to La Grande Cafe," Sakura said, trying hard to pronounce the name of the cafe right.

"…The big café?" Meg said, trying to translate it in English.

"Yeah," Sakura said nodding. "That's where Sasuke first performed ever and he decided to perform there again."

"So why are you trying to find something nice to wear since you're over him?" Meg asked.

"Well, I still like him! I'm just not in a obsessed way," Sakura replied, throwing a shirt aside and grabbing a new one.

"Good luck then," Meg said.

Meg turned around and walked towards the loft. Chiyo was writing something in her journal again.

"Hey Chiyo, what are you writing?" Meg asked her best friend.

"The book that I've been telling you about. The one where the girl meets her idol and he thinks she's stupid. I'm writing a part where they go in a club and he gets really jealous of some guy," Chiyo said, smiling, as she was writing on her journal.

"…Okay then."

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

"Hinata, it's only been two weeks and you're really improving!" Kiku exclaimed, very happy for Hinata, who was smiling herself.

Right now Hinata and Kiku were in Kiku's mansion, her room to be exact. They were both sitting cross legged facing each other on a tatami mat with a plate of cookies beside them. Kiba and Shino couldn't be in this session of making Hinata better, but they weren't really needed anyways.

"That's good news," Hinata said, as she examined a cookie. "What's in this cookie?"

"I think it's a macadamia nut and white chocolate," Kiku said, looking at the cookie. She then turned to Hinata, confused. "Why?"

"Oh," Hinata said, putting the cookie down and grabbing a chocolate chip one. "I'm highly allergic to macadamias."

"That sucks," Kiku said, grabbing the cookie Hinata put down. "Anyways, I have a plan. I asked my parents and they said it was okay for me to have a party next week. I'm going to invite everyone that was from our class that aren't in vacation including Naruto."

Hinata still seen Naruto, while she was progressing, but she always putting her hair in the boyish way at work and didn't put on her make-up. The good news was that she wasn't that shy as much to him.

"Do you think I could do it?" Hinata asked.

"I know you can," Kiku said, giving a reassured smile.

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

"Welcome everyone," Sasuke said, with a microphone in front of him. "And thanks for coming here. This is the first place I performed so I decided to perform here again. Please buy some food and enjoy the show."

La Grande Cafe was really big Sakura noted. And there were lots of people, but that was probably due to the fact that Sasuke was there. Sasuke was in the back part of the place, sitting on a stool with a acoustic guitar with him and a mic stand in front.

Since he was doing acoustic versions of some of his songs, he only needed himself.

Sakura was in a table alone. She was in front of course and was writing in her notepad.

Sakura's notes on La Grande Cafe. June 27th (A/N: I'm just guessing on the date)

Friday.

-Big crowd, which is good because of the big space

-Very stuffy

-Sasuke looks cute in his dark blue shirt

Again, Sakura had to cross out the last comment she made. She noticed she did that way too much and Chiyo always gives her a confused stare at her when she reads over the notes.

'Focus Sakura,' Sakura murmured to herself. 'You can't write down how Sasuke looks.'

And you shouldn't since he calls us annoying on a daily basis!

"The first song I will perform is called "For You I will"," Sasuke said. "Hope you like it."

'He sounds so nice and sweet by his songs and when he's talking in public,' Sakura thought to herself, as she was humming with the song. 'But I guess since he's such a great actor, you can't really tell the difference."

"Hey is this seat taken?" a voice asked, interrupting Sakura from her thoughts.

"Huh, no it's okay you can sit there," Sakura said, not even knowing who she was

talking to.

"Thanks," the voice, most likely a guy, said as he sat down.

Sakura observed the person and it was a guy. He had black hair, black eyes, was wearing a black shirt, and looked sort of like Sasuke! Well not really he just had that same kind of aura with him: silent yet cool and cute.

"What's your name?" Sakura asked, trying hard not to look at the guy a lot.

"Sai," The guy named Sai replied. "Yours?"

"Sakura."

"Well Sakura I don't do this often but for you I will," Sai said, actually going in synch on when Sasuke said ˜for you I will'. "But do you want to go somewhere?"

"Sai, I'm flattered," Sakura said, smiling and blushing slightly. "But I kind of have to stay here."

"I get it," Sai said, smiling a cool smile. "How about tomorrow then?"

"I'll think about," Sakura said, still smiling.

'He's cute,' Sakura thought to herself.

Cha! And he's better the Sasuke!

When Sai and Sakura were talking, neither of them noticed that Sasuke was looking at them,

evilly.

'˜Who the hell is that guy?' Sasuke asked himself.

And what Sasuke didn't notice was that Kakashi was looking at Sasuke then at Sakura, and then his perverted books.

'This is not going to end well,' Kakashi thought.

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

"Maybe you should talk to that Shikamaru guy," a girl with blonde hair that was in messy

bun said to Ino.

"No way," Ino said, pressing the button that denied the caller, who was Shikamaru.

During the two weeks, Ino got over Shikamaru and ignored him by not returning his phone calls, running away if he comes near, and stuff like that. And Ino meet a girl in Paris that liked the same thing she liked so they were instant friends. Her name was Anne-Marie.

Right now Ino and Anne-Marie were walking in the streets of Paris because they wanted to go shopping.

"So he wanted to go out with you while he was dating an other girl," Anne-Marie started to say. "But you should at least make him explain what happened."

"I know what happened!" Ino exclaimed. "He was dating this Temari girl, he asked me out, I found out about Temari, and I broke up with him before he could with me."

"I should do something to get Ino and Shikamaru together,' Anne Marie thought in her head.

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

"I have to go to the bathroom, excuse me," Sai said, getting out of his seat.

"Okay," Sakura said.

'This is my chance,' Sasuke said in his head.

"Okay, I'm going to take a break for a while," Sasuke said to the microphone.

Sasuke got off his stool and sat at the chair that Sai was seating on.

To the fan girls that were around here, which were to many to count, they were envious of Sakura and wanted to rip her eyes out…they were vicious fan girls.

But to Sakura herself, she didn't want Sasuke to sit there since Sai was sitting there.

"So what's up with that guy sitting here a while ago?" Sasuke asked, getting right to the point and sounding a bit jealous, but not so much for Sakura to notice.

"Well, he actually thinks I'm not annoying and he asked me out for tomorrow," Sakura said, while looking at her drink and smiling at the end.

"Tomorrow?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Damn this guy's to quick," Sasuke thought.

"Well, it would have been today, but I had to come here and write about you," Sakura said, sounding like she would have taken the date.

"You can't go tomorrow," Sasuke, said, his voice sounding a bit angry.

"Why not?" Sakura asked with an attitude.

"Because I have a concert."

"Since when?"

'Right now,' Sasuke said in his head.

"It's been booked ever since April," Sasuke lied. "It's in a county fair."

"I don't remember your schedule saying anything about it," Sakura snapped.

"Well, someone might have forgotten to write it in," Sasuke said.

"Is there something wrong here?" a voice asked from Sasuke's behind.

"No, Sai," Sakura said, smiling a flirty smile.

'She never gave a smile like that to me before,' Sasuke thought enviously.

"Actually there is," Sasuke said standing up.

'This guy is going to wish he was never born,' Sasuke thought as he cracked his knuckles.

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

"You three are acting as youthful as ever!" Gai yelled to his three students, who were panting because they just ran 100 laps.

For Ten-Ten's two weeks, it's been going great. She and Neji were together and didn't act that much affectionate. They just held hands sometimes, there was the occasional kiss on the cheek in public, and once or twice they kissed on the lips in public.

Gai approved of this and said "Youthfulness is only strengthen by love". Lee, who did what ever Gai did, agreed with Gai and said, "My youthfulness is strengthen by Sakura-Chan!"

The people against they're team thought this was great because it would give a week point for Neji and/or Ten-Ten, but they were wrong. They were the same when it came to training and fighting… probably even better.

"It's all thanks to you Gai-sensei that we are acting so youthful!" Lee said.

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"How come me and you are together but we don't have a sunset background?" Ten-Ten asked Neji, as they watched the background on Lee and Gai turn sunset like.

"I'm glad we don't have a sunset background," Neji said, putting his arm around Ten-Ten.

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

"Are you Sakura's brother or something?" Sai asked Sasuke.

Right now Sasuke was interrogating Sai about his business with Sakura. This was only like a minute, but people (mostly the paparazzi) were listening intently.

"No," Sasuke said.

"Then what's your problem with me?" Sai asked. "Sakura tells me that you don't really like her so why can't I date her?"

"Because," Sasuke said.

"Because of what?" Sakura asked, standing up, sounding angry. "You had your chance

and you called me annoying. So now you're acting like a jealous buffoon for apparently a girl you think is annoying!"

"Sakura, you stay out of this," Sasuke said.

"Well, this fight is about her so I think she should have some say in it," Sai said.

"Stop making me look like the bad guy!" Sasuke yelled.

"You are though," Sai smirked.

Maybe it was just the moment of intensity, Sai being such a jerk to Sasuke's opinion, the paparazzi writing down everything, or even the stupid fan girls that was recording this to put it on the many websites of Sasuke's shrines but whatever it was, Sasuke just did something that would make everyone shock: he punched Sai in the face.

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

"Sakura, I was informed earlier that Sasuke punched a person in the cafe he was performing in because of you, is that true?" Tsuande asked Sakura.

Right now it was like 12 in the night and Sakura was in the loft of the intern's suite. Tsuande was there and giving Sakura a lecture.

When Sasuke punched Sai, they started to fight. Kakashi had to make them stop and the little concert thing ended. It was a shock to everyone and now Sasuke will be the cover off every Magazine tomorrow with him fighting and punching.

"Yes, this is true Miss. Tsuande," Sakura said, looking on the floor.

Sakura wasn't happy that two guys were fighting over her and one of them happens to be the Uchiha Sasuke. If this was any other time then she would have been ecstatic and take Sasuke, but this wasn't any other time. She was an intern at the most prodigious magazine. And Sasuke was her client. Sakura could be sent home for ruining Sasuke.

"Well, Kakashi-san said Sasuke is all right and nothing is wrong with him in appearance," Tsuande said. "But you cannot mix your social life with your intern life. You better cancel the date with that other guy."

"But Miss. Tsuande!" Sakura protested. "I really wanted to go out with him!"

"Silence," Tsuande said sternly. "It's an order. You shouldn't date anyone unless you have a day off. Now tomorrow you just have to spend time with Sasuke in his mansion since he has no concerts. With you going you should say sorry for getting him involved in a sticky situation with the press. Now goodnight."

"Goodnight Miss. Tsuande," Sakura sighed, as she got off the couch and went towards her room.

"I knew it! There's no concert tomorrow!' Sakura said in her mind.

What a liar!

'But why would he lie?' Sakura asked.

"I still don't get you Sakura," a voice said, that was in the shadows so Sakura couldn't really see who it was. But Sakura could tell by the phoniness and iciness in the voice.

"What don't you get about me Nicole?" Sakura asked, getting a little annoyed of Nicole not getting basically anything.

Nicole came out of the shadows. Even if Nicole was wearing her pajamas, it was one of the best. Probably from some very rich brand or even custom made to her liking.

"You can have the guy that was voted most desirable, Sasuke Uchiha," Nicole started to say.
"And you even obsessed over him because of all the posters you have of him in your room. But then you see some guy and go out with him? Especially since Sasuke starts to notice

you! Are you like an idiot?"

"'m not an idiot, Nicole," Sakura replied, while clutching her knuckles.

Sakura didn't want to explain her reasons to Nicole. Waking up near midnight, especially the night she'd been through was bad enough. But now she had to deal with Nicole's stupid drama towards her? No one would want to deal with it so Sakura just continued to walk towards her room.

"But if you don't want Sasuke then I'll take him!" Nicole yelled out. "Even if you want him back, guess what: I WON'T LET YOU HAVE HIM!"

"SHUT UP NICOLE!" a voice, most likely Meg yelled from her room. "I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

'How can she even have Sasuke? Sakura thought, sounding mad. 'I mean Sasuke wouldn't give him the time of day!'

Hell yeah! We'll kick Nicole stupid butt before we let her get Sasuke!

"Wait," Sakura said, actually out loud, as she leaned her door after she closed it. "Am I acting jealous over Sasuke? Sasuke hates me, why should I be jealous if someone wants him?"

…I don't know! Maybe it's because: HE PUNCHED SOMEONE FOR YOU!

'So he was equally jealous?' Sakura asked herself. 'Does that mean he likes me?'

A/N: Does he like Sakura? Who knows wait, I DO… not know. I haven't written the next part of them yet. And what will Anne-Marie do to get Ino and Shikamaru together? And what will happen in the party for Hinata? And… well I didn't really write a plot for Ten-Ten and Neji yet because I still need to find one.

And Sai is actually a character in Naruto in the Part 2 series, but he doesn't really like Sakura since he calls her ugly, but he replaced Sasuke so I thought he should be there.

Next chapter: I don't know yet! You finally have to do something instead of reading and reviewing! I have a lot of ideas but I don't know which one should go first! Here's the choices!

-Sasuke and Sakura: Sakura goes to Sasuke's house to talk to him. Sasuke gets annoyed and Sakura sings what's on her mind. But when Sasuke says he doesn't know she sang and Sakura replies that they never really talked about their past, Sakura will learn about Sasuke's dark past that made him as he is today

-Shikamaru and Ino: Anne-Marie begs Shikamaru to do something special for Ino. For Ino she goes shopping with Anne-Marie and at the night Anne-Marie leaves and she goes out around Paris… with Shikamaru?

-Naruto and Hinata: It's party time! And Naruto meets the new Hinata!… although at first he had no idea it was Hinata. But everything seems to go bad for Hinata! She seems to only remember the few of many things that help her be confident. And it gets worse just by a cookie!

-Neji and Ten-Ten: Everything is great for the two! But every good things must come to an end… but why should it end with Ten-Ten in… the hospital!

…I just had to make up something for Neji and Ten-Ten and that was the only thing I could think of. So pick two… or one. This voting will end at… December 14 because I'll be leaving at the 15th… or 17th. Still please review but no flames! Hope everyone has a great… whatever they celebrate!
