Star-Chan: Hello everyone I am back with another chapter to my story! UM…well not much to say right now, so lets get on with it shall we?

Disclaimer: Do not own Naruto or any of the games mentioned in this story.

Recap:

"Of course I can't risk losing you, if I lose you who else would I play with?" Sakura grinned as Sasuke's smirk grew bigger, remembering there oh so eventful afternoon. They headed back to the kitchen to see that everyone has left. They assumed they all would be upstairs. Sakura opened the door to Hinata's room and saw that Tenten and Ino were there as well.

"Alright girls, it's only us, now spill."


Chapter 8: Problems and Secrets

Hinata, Tenten, Ino and Sakura were all sitting in a circle on the ground of Sakura's room. No one said anything, it had a very long quiet that started getting annoying to Sakura.

"So, someone care to tell me exactly what happened?" Sakura looked around the circle as all the other girls looked away and pretended not to hear anything. Sakura took a deep breathe trying hard not to explode in front of her troubled friends.

"Well can someone at least start? I don't want to see you guys so unhappy, and what about the bet? Do you want to lose to Karin? Trust me girls, talking it out will feel so much better." Sakura said encouragingly with a soft smile on her face. Tenten sighed.

"If only our relationships were as good as yours and Sasuke's." Tenten said subconsciously. She gasped and covered her mouth after she realized what she had said. She had promised Neji to not mention anything about there overhearing of what happened with Sasuke and Sakura that afternoon. Everyone looked at Tenten strangely, especially Sakura.

"What are you talking about Tenten?" The pink-haired girl asks Tenten who was smiling nervously and shook her head.

"No-nothing…forget I ever said that…" Tenten said with the word guilty written all over her face.

"Tenten, stop lying and tell me what you mean about Sasuke and me." Sakura said demandingly to Tenten who sighed and nodded. She took a deep breathe.

"Neji and I came back from our date early and when we got home and walked towards our room, we heard some noises…" Tenten started to explain while everyone still looked at her strangely. "We found out the sounds were coming from…Sasuke's room and the voices, or rather giggling and some moaning sounds were coming from Sakura and Sasuke." Everyone gasped and looked at Sakura who turned beet red and shook her head with her hands waving frantically in the air.

"No…it's not what you're thinking! We didn't…" Sakura was stuttering and blushing like crazy because of what her friends think she was doing with Sasuke.

"Then what were you doing?" Ino asked her Sakura who sighed and tried to calm down.

"It's not what you think; we were not doing anything…inappropriate. This is what happened…"

-Flashback-

Sasuke and Sakura were sitting on his bed, or rather Sakura was sitting and Sasuke was laying his head on Sakura's lap while she strokes his smooth raven colored hair.

"Sasuke…I'm bored!" Sakura pouted and complained to the Uchiha who had his eyes closed.

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Let's do something fun, like I don't know…the thing you secretly love to do most?" Sakura smirked as Sasuke's onyx eyes flew open and grinned. He sat up and walked over to his newly bought Wii game system.

"Your second, I'm first." Sasuke said throwing Sakura a controller that she tied around her wrist. "Remember Sakura, put the loop around your wrist and tie it…tightly."

Sakura blushed. "That was only one time…and it wasn't my fault the loop untied and hit your TV. It was an accident." Sakura smiled innocently to Sasuke who wasn't buying it.

"Accident? You call getting so hyped up about the game that you forgot what you were doing so you decided to just let the loop untie, even though I warned about it tightening it again and then letting it slip out of your hands, or should I say you threw it out of your hand at my TV an accident?" Sasuke said remembering the horrid incident that could have caused him years of grounding and money to replace the TV Sakura almost broke. Sakura smiled sheepishly remembering clearly that it was her fault.

"Sasuke are we playing or not…" Sakura said trying to change the subject. Sasuke nodded and put in the game. "What are we playing?" Sakura asked curiously seeing that Sasuke had not told her yet.

"Tennis."

"What?! You know I suck at that game Sasuke…"

"Exactly, I need something to take my anger out on, after rethinking about your controller incident." Sasuke said smirking. Sakura stuck out her tongue at her boyfriend and decided to play it anyway, practice makes perfect right?

Half an Hour Later…

"Sasuke-kun… stop it!" Sakura said giggling while trying to control her racket with her remote which wasn't going to well seeing that she hardly hits the ball.

"Not a chance Sakura, I like keeping this pace." Sasuke said proud of himself for owning his girlfriend so badly that it was laughable. Sakura had not hit one single ball across the court since they started playing Wii tennis. Once Sakura was trying to hit the ball that she actually swung the remote too hard she fell.

"A-Ah…you're going to fast…go slower…" Sakura complained. Sasuke was hitting the ball perfectly and quickly, too quickly that Sakura couldn't even hit it in return. Sasuke laughed at how Sakura missed the ball, again.

"I can't help that I'm so damn good at it …ah…yeah…stay like that…I like that." Sasuke smirked at how slow Sakura was going that he could just keep hitting the ball and Sakura would be hitting everywhere trying to get one hit back to Sasuke, though she still couldn't.

"But I'm a beginner I don't care how good you think you are just go slower would you? Ah…Sasu-keee!" Sakura complained again. She screamed out loud a second after she realized that she had accidentally let go of the remote.

"Sakura! Didn't I tell you to be careful?"

"Ha-ha, got you, I have it hooked tightly to my wrist just like you said." Sakura said smirking and dropped the remote from her hand and let it dangle on her wrist. She laughed at how dumbfounded Sasuke looked.

"Would you be quiet Sakura, you're too loud."

"It doesn't matter Sasuke, no ones going to be home until tonight we can do this all today. AH!! I cannot believe you just did that." Sakura yelled at Sasuke for serving it too soft that it didn't even get to her player in the videogame.

"I told you Sasuke-kun, your going too fast, slow down…ah…yeah…that's right keep it at this pace and everything will be fine." Sasuke had decided he had owned Sakura enough and it's time to let her practice so he slowed down the pace of his hitting so that Sakura could actually hit it back.

"Sakura you complain too much, you're lucky I'm doing this with you, I don't do this with just anyone you know? The things I do for you…"

Sakura giggles. "If you don't do this with me who else would you do it with? Besides, you know you love it Sasuke-kun." Sakura was right. If Sasuke wouldn't play Wii tennis with her who else would he play it? Naruto? He's even worse then Sakura, playing with him is like playing with a wall. Sasuke didn't want a lot of people to know that he was a video game addict, so the only people that know, hence that he can play with is Sakura and Naruto.

-End Flashback-

"So that is exactly what happened, I told you it wasn't what you guys were thinking!" Sakura said too her friends who slowly nodded there heads. "So any of you want me fill me in on what happened at your dates?"

"Well…" Hinata started. "Do you guys think that…Naruto-kun might actually love ramen more then me?"

"No, of course not, what would make you say that?" Sakura questioned the younger Hyuuga for thinking of such nonsense. Hinata shook her head and frowned.

"I don't know…Karin said-"

"Karin, you're going to listen to Karin? You know her, she's probably trying to confuse you so that you could break up with Naruto and everyone goes crashing down and she wins this stupid bet." Sakura snapped at how pathetic Karin is to have to manipulate peoples mind to win a game.

"Sakura's right, Naruto would never love ramen more then he loves you…he cares for you deeply Hinata." Tenten said resting a hand on Hinata's shoulder trying to reassure. Tenten sighed. She told Sakura and the others about how she is afraid that Neji doesn't really understand her the way she think he does. She told them about the photos, the necklace, and how he didn't know she was unhappy.

"Maybe he just didn't know what to do?" Ino suggested trying to make Tenten feel better.

"No…maybe he just never understood me that much, but I'm just realizing it now." Tenten said tears starting to water and little sobs escaping her mouth. Sakura, Hinata, and Ino went to her side to give her a hug.

"How about you Ino, how are things with you and Shikamaru?" Sakura asked the blonde who sighed and frowned.

"I thought it over the whole day, I don't think that things are working out the way I hoped it would. Maybe I was lying to myself saying that he was my knight in shining armor. But don't worry, I will put on an act in front of Karin, so everyone won't have to suffer."

After fifteen more minutes of comforting and confessing there problems everyone decided to go back to there rooms to sleep, since the next day was a school day. Sakura was sitting alone on her bed waiting for Sasuke to finish talking to the guys about the many problems that have been surrounding the house lately. She sighed and complained in her mind that Sasuke was taking too long, it was already almost midnight. Sakura was getting ready to get into bed while waiting for Sasuke when her phone rang.

--

Sasuke had just finished his talk with the boys. It seems they have no clue why there girlfriends were so sad and have no idea what they had done wrong. Sasuke walked over to Sakura's room still confused hoping she had some answers from the girls. He found that Sakura's door was opened slightly, waiting for him he supposed. He was going to enter when he heard Sakura whispering in hushed tones.

"Okay, yeah of course I would go with you. Don't worry everything will be fine, I promise you. I'll meet you at school's entrance right after the dismissal bell rings tomorrow okay? I won't tell anyone I promise. See you then, bye!" Sakura said and flipped her phone shut. Sasuke wondered who Sakura was talking to, and why she had to whisper since usually when she talks, she doesn't yell, but doesn't whisper either. Sasuke knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Why don't you take a guess?" Sasuke said opening the door walking in and closing it behind him. Sakura ushered Sasuke over to her bed nest to her, which he did.

"So who would be calling you at such a late hour?" Sasuke questioned the pink haired girl immediately. He couldn't help but to be overprotective of her.

"Oh it was just, a friend…I need to uh…help him with something afterschool is that okay?" Sakura said sweetly to Sasuke who was still suspicious.

"Who?"

"…someone you don't know." Sakura said quietly. Sasuke sighed. He wasn't going to get anymore information out of Sakura, so he decided to give up for now. He laid down on Sakura's bed using her lap as his pillow. Sakura smiled and starting stroking his long raven colored hair.

"So how did it go with the guys?"

"Not so well, they don't know what they did wrong, if they said anything wrong, or what happened overall."

"Well the girls told me why they were sad…" Sakura said to Sasuke who looked at her curiously. Sakura told the story about how Karin tried to confuse Hinata's mind by saying that Naruto might love ramen more then her and how Tenten is insecure about her relationship with Neji and how Ino had the plan to fake that her and Shikamaru are still together for everyone's sake.

"We should have known Karin would do something like that, especially to someone like Hinata, trying to make her insecure. But I know that dope, he might love ramen, but he cares about Hinata a lot more. And Neji, he's probably just pissed that he couldn't watch the basketball game. I'm sure everything will be fine by tomorrow."

"Sasuke-kun, what would you do if we really lost this bet, and you had to go with Karin?" Sakura said her eyes watering. Sasuke sat up and wiped the tears away from Sakura's eyes.

"I don't care, because she might have me, but my heart will always belong to you." Sasuke said stroking Sakura's cheek. Sakura smiled as tears of happiness dropped from her emerald eyes. She threw her arms around Sasuke and hugged him tightly.

"I love you Sasuke-kun, thank you." Sakura said sobbing lightly from the happiness of hearing Sasuke's words. He held her in her arms tightly, never letting her go.

"I love you too," Sasuke said. He remembered the phone conversation he had heard earlier. He frowned lightly, and sighed. He wondered who Sakura was meeting that she didn't want him to know. Was it some other guy, or a friend that he really didn't know? He felt Sakura pull away and snapped out of his own insecurities.

"You should go to bed, it's getting late and you know how cranky you can get if you don't get enough sleep."

"Uh, yeah you should too, here get in." Sasuke said lifting up the blankets for Sakura to get into. She went under the blankets and Sasuke tucked her in nice and warm. He kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Good night Sakura."

"Good-night Sasuke-kun." Sakura said with a smile spread across her face. Sasuke walked towards the door and turned off the lights before heading out. He walked pass his room and banged on another door.

"Uh…who the hell is it! If it's nothing important I'm going to beat the crap out of you, believe it!" Naruto yelled tiredly from inside. Sasuke tried turning the knob, but it was locked. He banged on the door louder.

"Naruto let me in," He heard Naruto grunt and cursed as he climbed out of his bed. Then he heard loud bangs and Naruto saying "Ow!" knowing his best friend he probably tripped over his own two feet. He sighed and waited a few more moments for Naruto to reach the door. He heard the door knob rattle and when it opened there stood the not-so-hyper looking boy with his blonde hair in a mess, his orange t-shirt wrinkled and usual bright blue eyes drooped and ready to close.

"What do you want, teme."

"I need your help idiot; I need you to meet me at my locker right afterschool tomorrow." Sasuke said glaring at the half-sleep boy who was now slightly awake due to his curiosity.
