Previously:

"I love you….Sakura" He whispered back and Sakura smiled as she caressed his hair.

"I love you too" she whispered back. Sasuke adjusted herself so that her head was against his chest. His arms wrapped around her and he buried his face in her hair.

"Go to sleep Sakura…" Sasuke mumbled as he caressed her hair. Then he stated humming her the song he just sang and it lulled Sakura to sleep.

"Sasuke-kun.." she mumbled before she drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 17: Presents!!

"Sakura…." someone whispered into her ear "Sa…ku…ra"

'What the hell?' she thought. Then she felt something hot on her neck. Then she realized that it was Sasuke's breath. He was nuzzling her neck.

"Sasuke…" she whispered. The said person looked up and kissed her forehead.

"Morning…." he whispered back. Sakura smiled and snuggled close to him. Sasuke buried his face in her hair and caressed it.

"Sorry I woke you" Sasuke apologized.

"Hmm…it's ok" She assured him. "But why did you wake me up?"

Sasuke smirked and wrapped his arms around her an carried her up with him until they were in a sitting position and Sakura was kneeling on his lap.

"Hu? What are you-"

"Shh.." Sasuke stopped her and gave her a chaste kiss "Just stand up, close your eyes and follow me" he whispered. Sakura did so and she felt Sasuke take her hand and lead her somewhere.

"Sasuke, what are you up too?" she giggled a little. Then they finally stopped.

"Ok…open" Sasuke told her. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and gasped. There was a mountain of gifts waiting for her on the lounge and Sasuke stood proudly next to it.

"Oh my….gosh…Sasuke" she gasped, looking back and forth to Sasuke and the mountain of gifts. "Is this all for…" she wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"It's all for you" Sasuke smirked and slowly approached her since Sakura was too shocked to move. He gently wrapped an arm around her and moved close to her ear.

"That's not even the best part" he whispered. Sakura looked at him with a confused expression and Sasuke slowly lead her to the window, showing her the view of the beach early in the morning. Sasuke was beside her and he took a little red box from his pocket and handed it to her. Sakura looked at him questionably and just decided to open the box. She gasped when she saw the necklace inside.

It was on a silver chain and there was a pink heart shaped gem in the middle, surrounded by another larger heart but it was orangy, red in color. Sakura took it in her hand and gaped at it. Then Sasuke wrapped his arms tightly around her and touched the necklace on her hand with his finger.

"You know what it means?" he asked. Sakura tried speaking but couldn't so Sasuke started explaining.

"This heart" he started "is you. " he paused for a while but continued " you are my heart and also my life. Losing you is like dying for me and I definitely can't continue living without you. Just like a person who can't live without his heart." he whispered.

"The heart surrounding it…" he outlined it with his finger "What does the color remind you of?"

"Fire?…" Sakura guessed.

"Right" Sasuke smirked "It's me. It means that I will protect you from harm no matter what. " He paused. "Even if I have to give up my life"

At that point, Sakura's head shot up and looked at him. "You aren't really gonna leave me are you?"

Sasuke was a little surprised by her question "Of course not Sakura…" he told her. "Just like fire, I will be hard to extinguish and is deadly once provoked." he whispered "And I promise I will never, ever leave you"

Sakura could feel tears in her eyes. I mean, that's so sweet! Only few guys dare to do that and the person doing it now happens to have a reputation of being a bastard, emo and selfless jerk who never feels emotions.

She quickly turned around and kissed him. Sasuke was a little surprised but soon started kissing back too. Sakura asked entrance into his mouth and he allowed. Their tongues danced together in a passionate kiss and then soon, they finally pulled away.

"And…just like fire…." Sakura started saying, her face close to Sasuke's. "Your something I can't live without…"

Sasuke smiled when she brushed his bangs form his face and caressed his cheek. He held her hand and pressed it onto his cheek and closed his eyes, liking her touch. Sakura smiled and kissed his forehead. Then Sasuke opened his eyes and asked her to turn around. Sakura did so and he put the necklace around her neck. Then he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.

"Look behind the pendant" he whispered. Sakura did so and found a message engrave at the back.

To my cherry blossom. I love you….

-Sasuke

Sakura giggled a little and Sasuke was confused.

"What's so funny?"

"It's just that it seems unlikely that you'll say something like that" she giggled but Sasuke took it seriously and made her look at him.

"It's the truth Sakura…" Sasuke told her. He rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes.

"I love you so much…" he whispered. Sakura was startled by his words. It was so sincere which made him look so vulnerable. It was so unlike Sasuke but she appreciated it, a lot.

"I know that Sasuke…" Sakura smiled and kissed him softly. Sasuke smiled back and made her turn around so he can wrap his arms around her waist and they looked at the view from the window.

"Why did you wake me up this early?" Sakura asked. "Not that I'm complaining. I'm just curious"

"I didn't want to do this in front of an audience" Sasuke answered, pertaining to the others who were still asleep. "It's much better if it were only the 2 of us and the view looks nice early in the morning" he added. Sakura nodded then turned her head to glance the gifts . Sasuke followed her gaze and was sure she was about to ask something.

"The gifts…." she started and looked at Sasuke who was eagerly listening "You….bought them all?"

"The guys helped me find a gift for you. We kinda got carried away so I ended up buying you lots of stuff." Sasuke told her "But some of the gifts are from the others but most of them are from me"

"You didn't really have to spend a lot of money" Sakura told him but Sasuke just nuzzled her neck.

"But from the looks of it you like it. Especially the dress" he smirked. Sakura was surprised.

"What! You paid for the dress as well?" she exclaimed.

"Shh…" Sasuke told her since the others were still sleeping.

"Don't you Shh me! Why did you spend so much? You shouldn't have spent a lot of money for-"

She was cut off by Sasuke placing his lips against hers. She gave in and kissed back eagerly. When they finally parted, Sasuke caressed her cheek.

"Ok..Ok….I'm sorry I spent a lot of money but it was for you since it was your birthday" he whispered" I wanted you to have the best birthday you ever had…" he looked down "I didn't know you wouldn't like it…"

Sakura stared at him. He looked disappointed and was pouting. Damn he looked like a little kid. It was so cute it easily got to her.

"Don't use that pouting on me…" she told him and Sasuke looked up a little. She giggled and kissed his cheek.

"Ok I'm sorry too. The truth is that I really appreciate all the things you've done and it really made this birthday the best. I was just surprised hearing that you've spent so much on the gifts" she told him "I just feel uncomfortable that you spent a lot. I don't want to be a burden"

Sasuke chuckled and made her look at him. " Sakura…your never a burden…I want to give this gifts to you, I admit I went overboard but I just wanted to make you happy" he told her. Sakura rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"As long as you're here…I'm already happy" she whispered and gave him a chaste kiss. Sasuke smiled and rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her gently but lovingly.

"Thank you…" he whispered.

"I love you Sasuke…"

"I love you too….Sakura" he whispered back and then they kissed passionately.

"AWWWW SO SWEET!!!!" They suddenly heard and they looked behind them to find the others sitting on the couch and watching them.

"That was so sweeet!!!!" Ino squealed.

"Yeah it's like an awesome movie!!! (sniff)" Naruto told them. Tears were streaming down his face and he was eating popcorn.

"Are you really the Uchiha?" Neji asked Sasuke who glared at him.

"Ok that's enough of the drama" Tenten said "Let's start opening presents!!!"

"YEY PRESENTS!!" Naruto yelled and ran to the gifts. He grabbed a load of them and was giving it to Sakura.

"Open them!!!" He exclaimed.

"Put those down dobe" Sasuke told him but surprisingly, instead of glaring at him or hissing at him when he calls him dobe, he's now smirking or smiling at little. Naruto gaped at him.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"Your….smiling?" Naruto exclaimed.

"Yeah so?" he chuckled.

"Wow…Sakura has a big effect on you teme" Naruto grinned. "She really makes you happy"

"Of course" Sasuke smirked and his grip around Sakura's waist tightened but was careful not to hurt her.

"Ok so Sakura. Let's open some gifts!" Tenten said.

"Open this! Or this! Or maybe this one!" Naruto started giving Sakura random gifts.

"Seriously Naruto stop it" Shikamaru told the restless dobe.

"Yes Naruto-kun, let Sakura decide" Hinata told him.

"Fine…" Naruto sat down on the floor with Hinata. Sasuke was sitting next to Sakura on the couch, Ino was on the other side of Sakura, Tenten was standing beside Neji and Shikamaru was standing next to Ino. Sakura picked up a blue present. It was from Tenten. She opened it and inside was collection of kunais. (or whatever the plural form of it is)

"You like it?" Tenten asked.

"Yeah it's so cool thanks!" Sakura smiled and Tenten smiled back.

"I was thinking we could use it to practice or…" she looked at Sasuke "Just in case someone tries to hurt you"

Sasuke raised a brow at her "Do you think I'll actually do that?" he questioned.

"I said just in case" Tenten smiled while Sasuke just shrugged it off.

"Next present!!!" Naruto yelled.

Sakura took another present. It had a green cover and she unwrapped it, revealing a tape she was unfamiliar of.

"That's from me" Shikamaru told her "It's a tape of Sasuke when he's still little. I suggest you watch it, it'll make your day" he smirked and Sasuke quickly took it.

"How did you get this?" he glared.

"I know the combination to your safe wherein you hide all your stuff. Not that hard to find out"

"Damn genius" Sasuke mumbled then Naruto quickly took the tape from Sasuke.

"Hey let's watch it!" he exclaimed and Sasuke chased him around the room.

"Give that back you dobe!!!" Sasuke yelled.

"Just relax Naruto and sit back down" Sakura giggled. Naruto sat back down and gave Sakura the tape instead of giving it to Sasuke who glared at him.

"It's a gift to Sakura-chan so it's hers" Naruto told him. Sasuke glared at him again but then sighed and sat back down beside Sakura. Sakura picked another present and she opened a yellow present and saw a beautiful dress inside.

"Oh my gosh…it's beautiful" Sakura sighed.

"I'm glad you like it Sakura" Hinata smiled. Sakura stood up and hugged her and sat back down to get another present.

"Open this one!" Naruto gave Sakura an orange present. "It's from me! I was getting impatient" he smiled. Sakura chuckled and was about to open it when Sasuke stopped her.

"It might be a bomb or something" he told her and Naruto pouted.

"Very funny teme. Like I'll do that to Sakura-chan"

"You have a problem dobe. Of coruse I can't trust you that much"

"Hey for your information, I just had my check up with my doctor" Naruto told him.

"The one who's too chicken to tell you that your retarded?" Sasuke smirked and Naruto was about to tackle him when Hinata calmed him down.

Sakura giggled and opened the gift. It was a remote controlled plane and it was pink in color.

"Like it?" Naruto smiled "I got one for myself too" he suddenly took out another remote controlled plane but it was orange. "I wanted someone to race and play with me"

Sakura smiled "I love it Naruto and sure I would love to play with you sometime." she told him and took another present. It was violet in color and she could easily guess who's it from.

"Yeah it's from me.." Ino smiled "Open it" she told her. Sakura opened it and was a little shocked. Inside was a lingerie and it looked familiar too.

"Like it? I asked Naruto to buy that last time" she told her and Sakura turned to Naruto.

"Yeah that was the one you questioned me about" Naruto grinned.

"Yeah you can use it when you and you-know-who are gonna-"

"Ok another present!" Tenten cut Ino off, Saving Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura glanced at Tenten, saying thanks and Tenten nodded. Ino didn't actually mind being cut off cause she wanted to see the other gifts. Sakura got another gift and it was in blue wrapper. She opened it and saw a medical book inside.

"Since we both do medicine I know this will be helpful to you in the future" Neji told her. Sakura smiled at him.

"Aww thanks Neji" she told him and stood up" Thank you guys so much!!" he was almost crying now and she hugged each one of her friends. She opened the other gifts which were all from Sasuke which included a baseball bat.

"But I don't play baseball Sasuke" Sakura told him.

"I know" Sasuke answered. "It's for protection from the dobe just in case"

The said person glared at him and Sasuke chuckled. "Ok mainly for protection"

Then after that there was a moment of silence until Naruto broke it.

"Ok so…..Can we watch Sasuke when he was still a kid now?" Naruto suddenly suggested. Too bad for Sasuke everyone agreed.

Later:

Sasuke and Sakura were in their room but then Sakura went outside to help Hinata cook. He was watching tv when Naruto barged inside with a frantic expression on his face.

"HEY TEME! CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM!" He exclaimed.

"Use your own Bathroom dobe" Sasuke told him.

"I CAN'T! NEJI'S USING OURS"

"Why? He has his own."

"'CAUSE INO'S USING THEIRS!"

"Why the hell is Ino using-"

"'CAUSE SHIKAMARU FELL ASLEEP IN THEIR BATHROOM!!! PLEASE CAN I USE IT NOW!!!" Naruto begged because he needs to go do his business badly. Sasuke was silent for a while and soon nodded. Naruto dashed into the bathroom and slammed the door.

"Guys time for lunch!" Sakura announced. Sasuke got up from the bed and left the room.

In the bathroom, Naruto did his business and was washing up. Then he was about to open the door but noticed that he couldn't since it was locked.

"Teme? Hey Teme!" he yelled "Anyone? Help!"

Then he heard some scurrying behind him. He looked around then noticed a white bunny with red eyes.

"AHHH!!!! EVIL BUNNY!!!!" He yelled and started banging on the door. "GUYS HEEELP!!!" He yelled. The bunny was approaching him and he franticly took out his cell phone but because his hands were shaking so much, it fell in the toilet.

"STAY BACK!" He yelled at the rabbit who wasn't listening. He stumbled back and fell into a pail of water and he yelled since it was boiling hot.

Outside, Tenten was listening to rock music and it was turned up loudly that they couldn't hear anything, much to Naruto's dismay.

"Tenten please stop that thing and let's eat" Sakura told her. Tenten nodded and went to the table with the others.

"Neji's just changing in the room" Tenten said and Hinata looked around.

"Where's Naruto?" she asked.

"In our bathroom" Sasuke told her.

"GUYS HELP!" They heard him scream. The group rushed to Sakura and Sasuke's room and Sasuke listened in the bathroom and they heard Naruto scream. Sasuke opened the door and they saw Naruto in the corner, wearing a little pail as a helmet and was defending himself with a toothbrush. The group looked at him awkwardly and he pointed to the white rabbit looking at him.

"Aww…it's so cute" Sakura smiled and picked it up.

"NO IT'S NOT! IT'S EVIL! EVIL I TELL YOU!!!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Why didn't you just leave the bathroom?" Sasuke asked him.

"I couldn't open it!" Naruto exclaimed.

"It wasn't even locked. All you had to do was turn the knob and that's it" Shikamaru told him and Naruto realized something.

"Ohhh…turn the knob… right…" He smiled sheepishly and the group sighed.

"Stupid dobe.." Sasuke murmured. Naruto stepped out the bathroom and went to the frige with the others following him. He got some ice and put it in his pants.

"Ahhh…" Naruto sighed.

"Why did you just put the ice in your pants?" Ino asked.

"I fell in hot water in the bathroom." Naruto told her. Sasuke chucked and Naruto glared at him.

"Ha ha very funny teme. You planned this didn't you?" Naruto glared at him and Sasuke just shrugged with a smirk on his face. Then Neji came out with a drink in his hand. He went to the fridge and then closed it.

"Where's the ice?" He asked.

"In Naruto's ass" Sasuke smirked. Neji looked at Naruto questionately then put his drink down.

"I lost my appetite…" he murmured and sat down on the table. Sakura approached Sasuke.

"Sasuke the shower had a heater so why did you heat up some water?" She asked and Sasuke smirked.

"I know…"

Sakura rolled her eyes and his childishness. "Let's just eat" she told him and Sasuke followed. Sakura was cuddling the rabbit in her arms and Naruto kept his distance from it.

"If you wanted a rabbit I could buy you one" Sasuke told her but Sakura just giggled and put the rabbit in a box and they started eating.

"Hey remember the part when Sasuke fell into the toilet!" Naruto yelled. The group were currently eating lunch. "That was awesome!" he laughed out loud and the group can't help but laugh along with him except for Sasuke who was pinching the bridge of his nose.

'Damn video tape' he thought. The group just watched his video as a child and it was damn embarrassing.

"Oh what about the time when he put the bead in his nose and couldn't get it out! He was crying like there was no tomorrow!" Naruto kept on laughing.

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke hissed. Too bad Naruto wouldn't listen.

"Make me!!!" he said childishly and Sasuke stood up and began to chase the dobe around the room. Sakura stood up to block their way.

"Just stop it annoying him Naruto" Sakura told the dobe and Naruto nodded. "And just relax Sasuke. It's not like we broadcasted the video around the world" she told him then Sasuke saw Naruto grin.

"Your are not broadcasting it!" He hissed and Sakura got in his way.

"Relax Sasuke he won't" she assured him and kissed his cheek. "I won't let him"

Sasuke relaxed and hugged Sakura and went back to the table.

"You own me" Sasuke whispered to Sakura as they sat back down. Sakura looked at him, confused but Sasuke just smirked and kissed her forehead.

"Hey guys I just heard that there will be a party this evening" Tenten suddenly announced.

"A party?" Hinata echoed.

"Yeah. It's arranged by the resort for it's guests which includes us!" Tenten smiled.

"Hm sounds like fun" Sakura smiled.

"Yeah! Let's have some fun!" Naruto was about to leave but Neji pulled him back to his seat.

"It's this evening dobe and it's just noon. Don't get too excited" he mumbled and Naruto pouted.

"Then what am I supposed to do while waiting?" Naruto whined and the group kept thinking then they had an idea.

"LET'S WATCH SASUKE'S VIDEOS AGAIN!" Naruto yelled and the group scrambled to the lounge. Sasuke sighed again while Sakura giggled and guided him to the lounge.
