G'Day everyone! Sorry about not updating on here for a while. I decided to re-write this chapter, and the first one.... I'm sorry that this chapter isn't as along as the first one. I promise the next one will be! I'm finally going to get up to the fun part! -Is still sad this chapter is so short...)

Also, please forgive my mistakes, if you see any. I edited it, but... sometimes things pass my eyes!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, duh. You all know that, don't you?

Normal thoughts'

'Inner Sakura' for Sakura & 'Inner Sasuke' for Sasuke! It will tell you which one it is.


Sakura had made her way past the gate, and far from her team's gaze. She knew in her heart that Sasuke was probably going to reject her present like the other girls. But at least she tried.

Sasuke had been very cold to Sakura when he came back, and she didn't know why. She was confused as ever. She thought hard about what to give him instead of chocolate and in the end; she had gotten him jellybeans, sour ones, because Sakura knew he didn't like sweet things. Sakura hoped at least they get eaten by Naruto. That way they won't be wasted.

The truth was, Sakura felt horrible. What did she do to make Sasuke like this towards her? But there was no way she was going to show it. It was a minor set back. Sakura Haruno was not going to cry. She was going to show them that she wasn't a weak, pathetic girl.

Sakura passed the Sasuke fangirls as she entered through the large gate into the Hidden Leaf Village. She watched them for a moment. They seemed to hang in little packs, with someone the obvious leader. They were armed with roses and boxes that I knew contained chocolate. They seemed to be on 'Sasuke patrol' walking around, eyeing everything carefully, and hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

'Didn't Sasuke say I was as bad as them?' Sakura thought sadly, dodging a group of fan-girls who where coming my way.

'AHHH! Shānnarō!' Inner Sakura complain to Sakura.

'Tell me about it…' Sakura sighed,

'That mean! Selfish! Arrogant! Oh... and not to mention incredibly hot… GAH! How dare he!'

'I should have known…'

'OH NO! Don't you dare go all depressed on me! Don't worry! We will show Sasuke-kun! I have a plan! It's fool proof!'

'Really?'

'We are going to show him the new an improved Sakura Haruno! Don't you worry! It might not be the best way… or the kindest. But we have to find out were we stand!' Inner Sakura concluded.

'How?' Sakura asked.

'Why don't you go on a date with Rock lee or Naruto? Or what about flirting with Shikamaru or Neji, while Sasuke-kun is around!? See if he's jealous?'

'No! I can't do that! That's awful!' Sakura gasped, shocked, 'Isn't their any other way?'

'Don't worry your pretty little head! I have it all planned out! I just have to wait for the right time!' Sakura smiled reluctantly at her Inner, and hoped she knew what she was doing.

'Now, listen closely! This is what I want you to do!'


"Well Sasuke-teme? You gonna say something?" Sasuke heard Naruto ask. Naruto's expression was furious. Sai was now busy drawing, and Kakashi… well he was reading his perverted book.

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke growled. Naruto stormed over and shoved the jellybean packet into his hands.

"I don't want them!" Sasuke spat while trying to shove them back at Naruto.

"You could have accepted them! Just to be kind! But then, you do have a heart of ice!" Naruto snarled. Sasuke knew exactly why Naruto was sticking up for Sakura. It was obvious that the blonde ninja liked Sakura, and wasn't happy with the way he was treating her.

"You bastard! Why are you always so mean to Sakura-chan!?" Naruto muttered, shaking his head,

"Dickless is right, Emo," Sai put in, still busy drawing. Naruto was too angry with Sai, to complain about his nickname.

"Oh will you shut up! Like hell I give a damn." Sasuke said angrily, glaring at Naruto. Naruto's gaze turned from annoyance, to pure fury. In haste, he drew out kunai from his pouch, ready to teach Sasuke a lesson. Sasuke went into a defence mode, ready for Naruto's attack Sasuke went for his katana.

"Guys, that's enough," Kakashi, their teacher. In a flash, Naruto's kunai was gone, and Kakashi was standing between the two shinobi.

"Hn," Sasuke mumbled.

"But Kakashi-sensei! Teme is being such an asshole!" Naruto whined. Naruto's fists were clenched into balls, his knuckles turning white. It was taking all his strength, just to try and contain himself. He felt like shoving Kakashi out of the way, and finally Sasuke what he deserved: a good beating, and some common sense put into the Uchiha's brain.

"Sakura will be back soon," Kakashi told them. At the mention of the pink haired kunoichi, Sasuke instantly looked away in a huff.

They stood their, waiting and waiting for their pink-haired team-mate. Naruto now had the jellybeans, as Sasuke refused to accept them. He picked out an orange one, and popped it into his mouth. After a moment of chewing, his face screwed up in obvious dislike and he shivered. They must have been sour. He then opened up his box of chocolates, and ate one, to cover up the sourness of the jellybeans. He then looked around, hoping to spy a glimpse of Sakura's pink hair. Naruto then offered one to Sai, who was putting the finishing touches on his drawing.

"Sakura-chan's not back yet!" whined Naruto, after he had finished his chocolate. He glared at Sasuke with his bright blue eyes. "If you made her cry Sasuke-teme. I will…" Sasuke rolled his eyes. This made Naruto even angrier then before.

"Naruto, cool it," Kakashi told them. Naruto crossed his arms, and turned away from Sasuke, to face his teacher.

"Why don't you go find her?" Kakashi said casually. Naruto's eyes lit up. Sai looked up from his drawing.

"I'll find her! Don't you worry Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto beamed. He was going to find her, and cheer her up!

"All of you," Naruto's face fell at Kakashi's words. Naruto turned to give Sasuke an evil glare, and it was returned. Sai packed away his sketch book, and got up ready.

"But why does Sasuke have to come!" pouted Naruto, coming back to his sensei. "It's not like the bastard is going to apologize to Sakura-chan! Is he?"

"Think of it as a mission…" Kakashi resulted, "The faster you guys get back with Sakura, the more quickly we can start training,"

"Come on; let's go then Sasuke-teme! Sai! WE GOTTA HURRY!" Naruto said enthusiastically, though he was still pissed off with Sasuke. He started to race off, not waiting for Sasuke. Naruto was going to be the one to find Sakura first!

"You loser! Slow down!" Sasuke yelled after him, annoyed. He sighed, started to follow Naruto towards the gate.


Sakura finally made it to her house. She lived by her self. Her mother had passed away a few years ago, and her father had died when she was little.

She unlocked the door and opened it. She rushed up the stairs and grabbed her kunai pouch off her desk. She quickly opened it to make sure she had everything in there.

"Ok, let's see; I have my kunai, my scrolls… a packet of tomato seeds- huh?" She pulled out the packet. She lifted up the packet out of the little bag. It was the other part of Sasuke's Valentine day gift. Sakura sighed. Like hell he would accept that now… the jellybeans were a kind of test, to see if Sasuke would reject them, or accept them. It turned out that he did, and now what was she going to do with these seeds? Sakura put them back in her kunai pouch. Maybe she would give them so Rock Lee later? At least Sakura knew he liked her… and accept them with decency. Heck, Rock Lee would be over the moon.

It then clicked in Sakura's mind that she had taken way to long to get home, and her team was probably wondering where she was… Well, Naruto and Kakashi might be…

Sakura rushed down stairs, out the front door, but went back when she remembered she needed to lock the door. After she had done the task, she starting running down the street, and towards the training field. She knew she had to get their fast, or everyone would probably be annoyed with her.

"It would even make Sasuke-kun more annoyed with me…" sighed Sakura. She wondered if Sasuke even did care about her. Their whole team had done so many things together, but Sasuke was still as cold as ever.

Unfortunately, while she was deep in thought, she was unaware of the fact that she was about to crash into two small groups of bitching girls… Sasuke FAN-GIRLS.

Sakura, being unaware and too late to stop, crashed straight into them. Well, more like their beloved leader. Sakura hit the ground beside the brown haired girl, and skidded along the ground a bit.

"Atsuka!" cried Natsumi, who was Atsuka's best friend and co leader of the little gang.

Atsuka got up slightly, rubbing her now grazed arm. She glared daggers at Sakura.

"Hey! Watch it!" spat Atsuka, brushing the dirt off her clothes. A short-ish girl from the other group started laughing, and like sheep, the other girls copied her. This girl had dark brown hair, which was curly and shoulder length. Atsuka's gaze instantly swept to her.

"Shut it, Haruna! This is your fault!" snapped Atsuka. She got up, dusted herself off and glared down at Haruna.

"I wasn't the one who bumped into you. Oh, and she seems to be getting away," Haruna smirked plainly, pointing to the now fleeing pink haired girl. Sakura cringed, but kept walking. She was going to pretended she didn't hear Atsuka.

"Oi! You! Get back here!" Atsuka growled. Sakura still didn't respond. "I demand you to come back now…Just who the hell do you think you are!"

Sakura turned around, a smirk on her face. She played her next move like a trump card.

"My name is Sakura Haruno, of Team 7. My sensei is Kakashi Hatake, and my teammates are: Naruto Uzumaki, Sai, and Sasuke Uchiha," Sakura watched happily, as all the fangirls registered the infomation

"You! Y-Y-Your Sasuke-kun's TEAMMATE?" Atsuka screeched. Sakura turned back around, and started walking away.

"Yes, and if you don't mind, I have to get back to the training field. We have some training to do. I don't think Sasuke-kun would be happy with you holding back his teammate, and making her late for training" Sakura said plainly. Okay, so the last bit was a lie…the girls would have to deal with it.

As Sakura walked away from the group of gaping fangirls, she could feel their jealous stares on her back. Atsuka looked over at Haruna. The small girl didn't seem to be fazed by Sakura's words. She looked at Sakura with a wondering look.

"Sakura… wait! She was in my class in the academy!" Haruna's friend, Mitsuko cried out. Everyone's gaze fell on the outgoing girl. She walked out from beside Haruna, and in front of the two rival groups.

"Sakura has a nickname…" Mitsuko's smile grew from mocking, to just plain evil. " 'Billboard Brow' because of her large forehead!" Mitsuko couldn't stop containing her laugher.

"BILLBOARD BROW!" yelled out Nastumi, from Atsuka's gang at the top of her voice. Sakura stopped in her tracks. All the girls starting laughing.

Sakura was about fifteen meters away from the two groups. She turned to face them.

"It is her! The famous 'Billboard Brow'! Why, your forehead has gotten bigger!" cried Kiki.

"Your right! Her forehead IS huge!" sneered Atsuka. All the other girls started poking fun at Sakura's forehead too. Except Haruna, while her gang, who were watching on as bystanders. Sakura's clenched her fists, and walked back over.

"What did you just say!" spat Sakura. The girls looked on in mock horror.

"Oh! I'm so scared!" Atsuka cried, sarcastically. "Now run along, you ugly hag! If we see you and your mutant forehead again, it will be too soon!" all the girls started laughing. Sakura was shaking in anger. That was the last straw. Sakura stormed over Atsuka. The tall girl with brown hair was laughing her head off.

"Come on gang! Lets lea-" but before Atsuka could finish, she was interrupted…by Sakura's fist. Sakura had gone all out, and punched the fangirl fair in the face. The force of the punch sent Atsuka flying backwards, crashing into her friends.

"Atsuka!" cried Nastumi. The others in her group surrounded the injured girl. Haruna's group stood their ground.

"There you are Sakura-chan!" a voice cried out from behind the pink haired kunoichi.

Sakura turned around to see Naruto, bounding towards her, with Sai and Sasuke. Sakura looked back at the fangirls, then at her three team mates. This was not going to go well.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Atsuka yelled getting up, with the help of Natsumi and another girl named Kira.

Naruto, who was now standing next to Sakura, looked confused. Sasuke was on Naruto's other side and Sai was standing on the other side of Sakura.

"Do you know this person, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. Sakura smiled sheepishly.

"Kinda…." Naruto looked back at the girls.

"Hello! I'm Naruto Uzumaki and one day, I'm going to be the Hokage!" he said, introducing himself. Only to be ignored by both gangs of girls. They were all looking over at none other, than Sasuke.

"ARGH!" Naruto yelled at the top of his voice, his eyes like fire... Why did no one care about him? It was always Sasuke, Sasuke and more Sasuke! Oh, did we forget to mention Sasuke?

"Sasuke-kun!" the fangirls started to cry out. They all crowded around the Uchiha boy. This pissed Naruto off even more.

"OI!" cried Astuka, who seemed to have lost her 'support' people. She was still trying to recover from Sakura's punch.

Her gang's attention left Sasuke. They parted to the sides, and let Atsuka walk towards Team 7.

"Hey Sasuke-kun, how are things?" Atsuka started flirting with him, before glaring back at Sakura. She was trying to fix up her hair, while fluttering her eyelashes.

"What was all that commotion before?" Naruto asked Atsuka. She stopped what she was doing, and looked down at Naruto with an annoyed look.

"Your little pink haired team mate punched me!" Atsuka cried, like she was heartbroken. She obviously wanted some sympathy… from Sasuke.

"Good one Sakura-chan!" Naruto bellowed out, trying to give her a hi-five. Sai gave Sakura a smirk, as to say 'good one'.

Atsuka and her friends glared at the blonde ninja, and he stopped. Sakura couldn't help but smile. But the smile vanished when she then became aware of Sasuke, who was standing beside them.

"Hn," Sasuke grunted, "We have training to do, Naruto, Sai, Sakura; lets go." and with that, he turned and started to leave. Atsuka looked disappointed, but she then put on a smile

"Bye Bye! Sasuke-kun!" Atsuka purred, trying to act 'cute'. Naruto rolled his eyes at this pathetic act, Sakura made a vomiting motion. The two laughed, and headed off with Sasuke, leaving a fuming Atsuka with her friends.

"I'm so, gonna get my revenge!" hissed Atsuka. "Just you wait!"

After the fangirls were out of sight, and they where on their way back to the training area, Naruto started to attempt to eat some more of the sour jellybeans, while trying to offer Sakura one. But she refused politely. Sasuke was walking ahead of the three of them

"Heh! Way to go Sakura-chan!" Naruto sang out, while taking the little box away

from her,

"That was quite good, Ugly," Sai commented, but for once, Sakura didn't punch him for saying her, uh, nickname.

"You showed that girl who was boss! It was awesome! I wished I could have seen you actually punch---" Naruto continued, but was interrupted.

"It was a stupid thing to do. I can't believe you would be such an idiot!" Sasuke cut Naruto off. He had stopped walking, and was now looking at his friends with his icy, cold gaze. Naruto glared right back. "You could have really injured that girl… think of the trouble you would have caused…"

'Sakura! This is our chance! We can start the plan now! Act one, scene one! Action! CHA!' Sakura heard her inner command.

"What do you even know?" Sakura spat. "Where you even there? No! I don't think so! You don't even know half the story! So I think you should just shut your mouth!"

Time seemed to stop. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and he looked angrily at Sakura, and she was looking right back at him. Naruto's eyes were popping out of his head and Sai had a mildly amused expression. Neither of them had ever heard Sakura speak like that towards Sasuke. Heck, Sasuke had never heard her be that mean to anyone. Naruto waited for Sasuke to blow up at Sakura, and start to yell his head off. But that never came. Instead, Sasuke smirked, while still looking fiercely at her. Sakura didn't flinch under his gaze. Messing with Sakura Haruno was a bad thing, and Sasuke just crossed the line.

"Hn, you are definitely annoying," Sasuke sneered. This made Sakura's face screw up in anger. Her green eyes held nothing but hate and annoyance for the Uchiha.

"No…. YOU'RE THE ANNOYING ONE!" screamed Sakura, loud enough for the whole of the Village Hidden in the Leaves to hear. People walking past stopped to look at the arguing ninjas.

"Sakura-chan! People are looking at us!" Naruto fretted, but was also happy in a way that Sakura was annoyed with Sasuke.

"Well done, asshole! Now Sakura is totally pissed off with us!' Inner Sasuke spat at Sasuke.

'Idiot!'

'Hn?'

Suddenly, something collided with Sasuke's head and before he knew it, his vision faded into blackness.

A few moments before, Sasuke was shaking his head at Sakura, while she continued to fume. Then, everything seemed to go in show motion. Sakura grabbed the closest thing she could get her hands on, sent as much of her chakra as she could muster to her arm, and used her super strength to hurtle the object at Sasuke. The box of sour jellybeans that Sakura had taken from Naruto in haste, shot towards an unsuspecting Sasuke. Well, who in their right mind would be prepared for a jellybean attack like that? Apparently not Sasuke…


"Sasuke-teme! Wake up!"

"Do you think Ugly killed him?"

"She wouldn't do that… would she?"

Sasuke heard a voice call him. Sasuke opened his eyes slowly. He knew he was lying in a bed, but it wasn't his own. He could tell, since the ceiling was white, and the room, it smelt like cleaning agent.

"Look! He's awake!"

Sasuke attempted to get up, but a searing pain in his head forced him to stay down.

"Where am I?" Sasuke wondered why his head hurt so much.

"You're at the hospital! Wait! You do know who you are?" Naruto asked

"What the hell do you mean by that dobe? Who the hell do you think I am?" Sasuke fumed.

"Okay, Emo hasn't lost his memory." Sai announced. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Despite the pain, he decided to get half up out of bed.

"What the hell happened?" asked a confused Sasuke. Why was he in hospital?

"Well… you know how you pissed off Sakura the other day? Well... she kind of decided to… pelt the box of sour jellybeans at you, well, more like your head. You know she has monster strength and all… so that's how you ended up here!" Naruto smiled sheepishly. Sasuke blinked once.

"Ugly knocked you out, caused mild head-trauma… with a box of jellybeans." smirked Sai.

"What Sai means to say is: Don't worry, you just had a concussion… because of… JELLYBEANS" With that, Naruto started laughing.

Sasuke looked at Naruto. Was he serious? It looked like Sakura Haruno had some explaining to do!


Here we have the second chapter! YAY But before I go... I have a question! I need to guy Sakura's going to use to uh... make Sasuke jealous!
