Chapter 3:

"C'mon Tobi!" Naruto shouted as he dragged Tobi to Sakura's house.

'This just doesn't feel right.' Tobi thought as he followed Naruto helplessly.

"Let's go!" Naruto said. Tobi handed Naruto the key that Sakura had put in his pocket which he had found a couple of minutes ago.

"..." Sakura was eating out with Ino. She took a sip from her drink. Ino was talking on and on about makeup and boys but Sakura couldn't pay attention. Something just didn't feel right.

"Sakura!? Are you even listening?" Ino asked annoyed.

"...Sorry Ino." Sakura apologized. "I was just a little distracted."

"...As I was SAYING," Ino continued. "I was training when I saw Sai." Ino glanced at Sakura but she still wasn't paying attention. Her emerald eyes were looking off into the distance. She sighed. "Sakura, if there's something bothering you, you can tell me."

"Oh, there's nothing. Just I feel like something is going to happen." Sakura said. "Something bad." Sakura added.

"..." Ino didn't know what to say.

Oh something was going to happen Sakura, something was going to happen.

Naruto poked his head in Sakura's house and looked around to make sure no one was there. When he was sure, he opened the door all the way and entered. Tobi followed him looking around wearily.

"Where's Sakura's room?" Naruto asked Tobi. Tobi looked around trying to remember. He finally pointed to a room in the back with a sign that said 'Sakura's Room' on the door.

"Tobi thinks it's that one." Tobi said.

"Oh..." Naruto stared at the sign. "Right, I knew that!" Naruto said and walked into her room trying to avoid any questions.

"Are we allowed to do this?" Tobi asked entering the room as well.

"Relax Tobi. I promise I'll love you if you do this with me." Naruto said winking.

"If you say so." Tobi said but he still wasn't conivnced.

'Let's see what's in here.' Naruto said opening a drawer but then he paused. He had realized that Tobi was there watching him. "Tobi, could you keep watch for me instead?" Naruto asked because he wanted to do this alone.

Tobi was the type that couldn't say no, so he agreed and went outside Sakura's room to keep watch.

'Now, let's see!' Naruto said clasping his hands with an evil grin.

Sai was sitting on the tree that was outside Sakura's open window with a camcorder. He chuckled.

"Now I can research what it's like to sneak around." Sai said and turned the camcorder on.

'I wonder who that guy with the orange and black mask was.' Sai thought as he zoomed in on Naruto.

Of course, Naruto was too busy searching Sakura's room to notice Sai. He looked in her closet and spotted something in the back that looked as if it was meant to be 'hidden'.

'Jackpot!' Naruto thought as he pulled out a notebook. The cover of the notebook said:

Sakura's Diary

'Definitely a jackpot!' Naruto thought as he opened it. The first page had a picture pasted on the front. It was the picture of Team 7 but there was something wrong with it.

'...Sakura-chan.' Naruto thought crying. (T-T)

Yes, the picture was Team 7, but Naruto and Kakashi were cut off from the side so it only showed Sakura and Sasuke. Above it, it said 'The Gorgeous Sasuke and Me!' At the bottom it said 'Naruto was cut off because he's annoying but Kakashi wasn't cut off for any special reason. I just needed it to be Sasuke and me!'

Naruto wearily opened it to the first page. It was from the day she had joined Team 7.

Dear Diary,

Yay! I'm with Sasuke!

But damn, I'm with the idiot Naruto.

Oh well, if that's the price to pay for Sasuke, I'm wiling to pay it. But it's still very painful.

Later, we had to do the test to become a ninja. Damn it! Kakashi was more than 7 hours late! And he had the nerve to tell us not to eat breakfast!

I'll admit, even if I was pretty upset with what happened today, I did learn some important stuff. I guess teamwork is important and even if Naruto's a douchebag, I'll deal with it and work with him. At least Sasuke's here! I'll work with him any day!

Later, I went to Ino's flower store to show off. I was so upset! It turned out we were the only ones who had to go through such hard stuff! I guess I have to pay a lot to be with Sasuke. But showing off to Ino totally made my day! She was so pissed off! Hahahahahaha! I won bitch!

See you soon,

Sakura

'This isn't the nice and sweet Sakura I know!?' Naruto thought. 'She uses language that's as bad as me and she talks about me like I'm a pest!' (But you are a pest...)

Naruto flipped the pages to the last entry.

Dear Diary,

I miss Sasuke. I think about him every night and I can't sleep.

When will we ever get him back?

I know Naruto and Sai and everyone from Konohagakure are working hard but it never seems like enough compared to Orochimaru.

What does he have that we don't?

Power?

Do we seriously lack power compared to him?

Please come back! I miss you! I could never love anyone like I love you Sasuke.

Naruto's nice and sweet, but he's more like a little brother.

Sai is okay, but he's nothing compared to Sasuke.

I wish he'd come back, regardless of whether he'd love me or not.

Today was average, like all the days since Sasuke left.

Ever since he left, it was raining for me.

When will the first rays of the sun shine on me?

When.

I miss him,

Sakura

Naruto felt guilty now. He had completely ignored Sakura's feelings by chasing her after Sasuke had left.

Of course Sakura would never leave Sasuke. She loved him.

Why did he ever think that Sakura wouldn't love Sasuke?

And he started to wonder too. Was Orochimaru really better than us?

Now that he had thought about it, maybe one of his prime reasons for getting Sasuke back was to protect and preserve the relationship between Sakura and Sasuke.

He silently closed the diary and put it back in its spot.

'I'm sorry.' He thought as he opened the door to the room and got out.

"Oh, Naruto! Are you done?" Tobi asked.

"...Yeah!" Naruto said and smiled. "Thanks!" Naruto said and ran out of the house.

'...But I really wish I could've found xxx pictures of Sakura.' He thought as he left.

"Naruto!" Sakura shouted as she banged her fist against Naruto's door. In her hand was a tape.

"Sakura?" Naruto opened the door yawning. It was early in the morning.

"You bastard!" Sakura pushed Naruto against the wall with her arm.

"...What?" Naruto asked with a freaked out expression.

"What!? Did you say 'What?' Don't give me that!" Sakura said and thrust the tape into his face. "Explain this!" Sakura shouted.

Naruto took the tape from Sakura. He looked at the label.

I was studying 'Sneaking Around' when I taped this!

I thought you'd like to learn a thing or two too!

From Sai

P.S. Show it to Naruto too when you get the chance.

'SAI!' Naruto thought as an aura of anger rose around him.

"Well!?" Sakura asked looking at him.

"Well, um..." Naruto frantically thought of an excuse.

When no explanation came, Sakura's anger trippled. "I knew it! You were sneaking around in my room! You pervert!" Sakura threw him into his house. She slapped the dust off her hands. "Just wait until training comes!" Sakura said before leaving and smirked.

'...Sai, I'll kill you!' Naruto thought as he rubbed his wounds.

Author's Special Note: Naruto had a great time during training, but even his 'great time' didn't compare to the great time Sakura had.

Thank you people for your awesome support!

Keep reviewing because it motivates me to write more! (And I was born with little motivation.)

And the last entry got me thinking about the fact that Sasuke had left. I'd be glad to hear if it got other people pondering too.

Tobi is loved by 25 people!

C'mon people! Tobi's not FEELING the love!

Sorry for Narusaku fans, but I'm a Naruhina fan so DEAL with it!

Hope you liked it anyway!

And don't whine there's a sasodei fan reading this and she/he hasn't whined yet. So act mature.

AND VOTE ON MY POLL PEOPLE!! VERY IMPORTANT!!
