Hello Readers!

Here is another update and I have a pretty good feeling that you would love it, because I enjoyed writing it. I apologize for any inconveniences with reading the last chapter. For some odd reason FF decided to mess with the wording and every time I tried to fix it, FF didn't want to save it. What up with that right?

Well I hope you enjoy this chapter. Its coming close to the end.

I would appreciate that you review, you don't have to but it helps :)

xoxo

Note: I do not own Naruto or the characters just my plot line.

"Sasuke where are you going with all those things?" Mikoto Uchiha asked her youngest son who currently had her favorite teapot, his teddy bear, blanket and other various items all piled up in his arms.

"Sakura is sick Okaasan and its my job to make her feel better" he answered and smiled.

Mikoto knelt down to his level and began taking everything out of his hands,"Well Sasu-chan if you're going to make her feel better, I don't think cookies is the best way to start. How about I help you make a nice basket and we can go visit her?" the little boy blushed and quickly ran to the kitchen. The raven haired mother felt a tug at her heart. Ah young love it was so innocent and precious but mainly it was adorable.

"Okaasan how am I going to take care of Sakura-chan if you don't show me!" he yelled

But she had to admit Sasuke in love topped it all

Sakura Haruno was one very lucky girl

P.S-I Love You

Chapter 12

'Once upon a time there was a little prince who fell in love with a very pretty girl'

"TEME I HAVE A MAJOR BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!" The dobe yelled as barged into my home. I sighed hasn't he ever heard of common courtesy? Lucky my mother wasn't home or else she would have tore him up to pieces…literally.

"What do you want Dobe?" I knew why he was here but I had a feeling that he would find out sooner or later because when you're in high school news travels fast,

"What do you mean, 'what do I want?' Teme you know why I'm here or else you would not have left your door unlocked"

'damn unconscious thoughts' I thought sweat dropping.

"Why am I hearing rumors at Sakura is going with Sai to the Winter Ball and YOU all of a sudden hooking up with Ami?"

"I didn't hook up with Ami Dobe"

"Then what the hell do you call this?" he yelled and threw his phone at me. I watched the screen and rolled my eyes, 'yea that's right girls breathe it in, I'm going to the dance with Uchiha Sasuke, not you, me'

"Ugh girls can be so...so…"

"Troublesome?"

"Yes dobe that's the word" This was too much of a burden. The girl who was supposed to (and still is in my mind) was going to the ball with someone else and the girl who whored herself out to me was already having fantasies of a future (which might I add WILL NOT happen).

"Well?" Naruto asked plopping himself on the couch next to me, another deep sigh of frustration racked my body, "I didn't hook up with Ami, I saw Sai asking Sakura to the ball and the look in her eyes, seemed as if she was the luckiest girl in the world. She seemed so happy Naruto that as much as I wanted to find a way to put myself in the picture I just couldn't ruin it for her, so instead Ami asked me and reluctantly I said yes."

"You must really love her to go against your Uchiha Code"

"You have no idea Dobe, as long as she is happy then so am I"

THE DAY BEFORE

"So you ready Teme, are you pumped?"

"Hn"

"Come on Teme you have to get you're A-Game face or else you will never have enough balls to ask Sakura to the dance"

I twitched, did this idiot dare question the masculinity of my clan, why I will have you know that we are manly men, and will do whatever it takes to get our women, (For all the girls reading the story, Women are people and not possessions, this is for the sake of me being hyperbolic)

"Yes Otouto, let me see this game face to win back your precious cherry blossom"

FML

"Watch it Itachi that's my little sister you're talking about"

DOUBLE FML

Naruto took cover behind me and I glared at the two older people. Sasori and my brother could be asses sometimes, "Teme it's Sasori, maybe if we walk away slowly we might be able to make it out with our lives." He whispered

"Is that right little fish?"

Wow so I guess there is a really good reason why he's on the track team, crap I didn't even see him move behind me. Naruto jumped, "EVIL!" he screamed and ran off like a little girl. So much for Teamwork. Sigh.

"What do you guys want?" I glared, my brother and Sasori laughed, "Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, ne Itachi?"

"He does have his moments Sasori, but I believe there is a real reason why we're here"

This confused me, they were here to see me for a reason other than to humiliate me? I think hell has officially froze over…that or I probably died on my way to school this morning, after all Naruto was driving.

"Heh but of course, let me get to the point. Sasuke I know you have been having a crush on my baby sister ever since you stepped foot in our home, and quite frankly it irked me."

'Ok so maybe hell hasn't froze over'

"B—" he stopped me before I could even start my sentence, "But you see Sasuke I've noticed that you have some sort of effect on Sakura that it almost dare I say it lightens up our home…"

'Or maybe not'

"I don't know much about your conflict but I do know that our little sister isn't the same, and as much of a gentlemen Sai is, he kind of freaks me out." he came down to ear level, "I mean last week he sat outside my door observing me and my girlfriend, he said it was helping him understand human relations better."

Were my ears deceiving me, or was the world just topsy turvy?

"Look I want my sister to smile again, not the fake 'I'm ok' one but the kind where I have to raise suspicions for. I know how much you love her so you have my permission to..to"

"Say it Sasori" Itachi smirked and Sasori cringed, "to date Sakura" he exhaled, "There I said it, oh kami that was more difficult than telling Karin the truth when she asked if the school skirt made her ass look huge"

My jaw dropped, ok It's official I have died and gone to heaven. Sasori Haruno just gave me Sasuke Uchiha his blessing to date Sakura, Holy.$#% !

"Otouto please close your mouth, have you not forgotten that Uchiha pride themselves on presentation?" My brother pushed my jaw closed; I shook him off and turned to Sasori,

"Are you serious? " I asked can't believe the moment that just happened a minute ago, he sweat dropped, "Did you not see the pain in me giving my baby sister to a pervert like you, please don't make me do it again. This is a onetime deal Uchiha; if I were you then I would walk away right now and plan for how you are going to ask my sister to the ball." He clenched his heart in fake drama, "I need a drink…now"

"Sasori-kun!" the red head groaned at the sound of Hikaru's voice, "Someone for the love of kami's sake get me some hard liquor!" he left grumbling at the loss of his sister and the arrival of Sai's brother.

My brother's expression turned from amused to serious as he turned to me, "If I were you I would be classy and maybe give her this" he pushed a piece of paper in my hands, "if you never take the chance she'll never know how you feel."

With those words my brother turned and walked away leaving me to reflect on what I was going to do. This time there wasn't a plan that I could follow, nor was there anyone with me. I was all alone and it was up to me to follow my heart if I wanted a future with Sakura Haruno.

'…he made it his goal that as long as he was going to be prince he would have no other but her for a princess.'

'Ok I am just going to go up to her and tell her how I feel and ask her to the ball' I thought as I walked past the Arts and Humanities wing of the school .I had managed to get through the day, but that didn't mean that I wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat. I mean what would she say to me when I pretty much told her everything? Would she be excited? Speechless? Would she slap me, and if that was the case would I have to bring some ointment to relieve the sting afterward? Whatever the reason I was going to go in this like an Uchiha would; confident and manly. I would not shame my ancestors and….and what the hell is this?

There exiting the theatre was Sai and Sakura arm in arm laughing like they were old friends…kind of how we used to be. I stuck behind the wall making sure I was out of sight before they saw me. Why was Sai here? He was supposed to be in Psychology now, but why was he with Sakura?

"Sakura I know that I have not been here long but I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to the ball?"

There was a slight tug at my heart, 'Crap I was too late' for a minute my hopes rose when Sakura took a moment to think about his invitation, because maybe she would say no and I would have a chance, but as quickly as they rose they crashed down when she smiled her most brightest smile, ones that she

would give me when I made her laugh.

"I would love to Sai"

I knew it, of course she would say yes to him, he was Sai her 'best friend' the guy who did nothing wrong. All this made my heart go crazy and my vision change to red, but I couldn't ruin it. Sakura was so happy that it would be wrong to rain on her parade, besides I've done enough damage.

"As long as you're happy my love then so am I, no matter how much I am hurting on the inside" I whispered unconsciously dropping the paper I had planned to put in her locker. I couldn't be here anymore it hurt too much

'It wasn't until they were at the biggest party of the year that the little prince gathered enough courage to ask the little girl to the ball only to find out they she was going with another knight'

"hmmmm whats this, Sakura Haruno not going to the ball with Sasuke Uchiha?" a certain girl smirked as she watched the scene unfold before her, "Looks like I got myself an early Christmas present" she giggled as she watched Sai and Sakura hug and part their separate ways.

"I think you just found yourself a date for the ball after all Sasuke Uchiha, and her name is Ami"

WITH TWO CERTAIN GIRLS

"So it's settled then? "

"Yup just leave Sakura to me and you just make sure that Sai ask her to the dance"

"I really hope this works, I really want to see my sister again, ever since he left it's like the shine from her eyes are gone. She may not want to admit it but I think she really loved him" said the dark red headed woman as she swirled the foam around her coffee. The blond haired girl across from her placed her hand on the girls shoulder.

"It will work Karin or my name is not Ino Yamanaka"

"I was too late" I sighed as I placed my book in my locker and shut it, the person waiting on the other side caught me off guard.

"So Sasuke-kun a little birdie told me that you still haven't found a date for the winter ball, is this true?" she asked as she slinked her way toward me and traced circles on my chest. 'Ugh Ami, you try so hard but are you really this stupid to not catch my signals that I'm just not into you?'

"Hn" I managed to be as monotone as possible and shook her off, but like everything in my life it came back at me. She clung onto my arm and pushed me into the lockers, well at least I now know how her past boyfriends were 'suddenly' injured. People stared at our interaction which made me feel a bit uncomfortable, where was that idiot when I needed him?

"We're not done yet." She smirked and licked her lips, "Sasuke-kun was my little birdie telling me the truth?"

I cringed, "I don't know what you are talking about " Ami giggled one of those demonic giggles you would hear on some creepy porcelain doll,

"Oh I think you do and to prove it how about I make an offer that you can't refuse? If you ask me to the ball like a nice boy then I promise that nothing will go wrong for your precious Sakura-chan" My eyes widened but before she said anything she quickly jumped on her next threat, "And if you refuse well then heh."

Great this day couldn't get any worse, first I can't confess to Sakura because she gets her day uplifted by Sai and now the only way that I make sure she's happy is if I go with this cretin to the ball. FML the things I do for love! I could feel her warm breath on me and her hands roamed all over my body. This girl literally was raping me in broad day light. How come no one was seeing this? I mean I'm an Uchiha I get it but $#% give me a break I'm not superman you know.

"So?"

"Fine I'll go with you" I grumbled. She shook her index finger, "Nuh uh ask me like a proper Uchiha would"

The things I do for love….FML

"Ami" my eye twitched, everyone else's eyes witnessed our exchange, wondering what my answer would be, or rather hers, "Would you like to accompany me to the Winter Ball?"

She shrieked and jumped onto me, "Of course Sasuke-kun!" I could hear gasp and numerous murmurs coming from the crowd and I knew that by the end of the day this would be frontline news.

"Good boy" she whispered as her hand came in contact with my family jewls, "As your reward I'll give you a sample of my present from me to you, you'll get the rest when you play your part at the ball" she smirked as she flipped her hair over her shoulders and walked away.

This officially was the worst day of my life

FML

See this is why I NEVER let my hopes skyrocket

Because just when I get all pumped up to take on a challenge

It literally just fails on me.

Really universe why do you hate me so much, why?

There you have it, chapter 12! This story is coming to a close and it makes me almost want to tear up, but it just had to be done.

Next chapter includes more drama so stay tuned!
