Hello my loves, I present you with the next chapter of P.S-I Love You!
Sorry for the late update, that was entirely my fault, I've recently got back into watching anime and reading manga (a feat I tell you that was impossible in high school and now in college...I'm a bit of a closet anime fan,haha.) The one that got me hooked was Kimi ni Todoke, its so cute! I want a Kazehaya-kun like ASAP!
I While I'm here I really want to give some major props to a couple of writers who have gotten me hooked on their creations, they are awesome.

"I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark ol' dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come
And set me free"
A certain pink haired girl sang as she listened to her newfound favorite song on her CD player. A certain raven haired boy looked at her confused, "Ne Sakura-chan I thought you wanted to be a princess like in your books?"
She giggled at her friend, "Its true that I don't want my knight in shining armor to be overbearing but that doesn't mean I don't want to be a princess."
"eh, so that means you just don't want to be Cinderella?"
"uh huh" she smiled and he nodded his head going back to the piece of paper that preoccupied him a moment ago.
...
"I'd rather be sleeping beauty because she has to be kissed to be woken up"
And with that the little boy blushed and a woman could be heard yelling down the halls with glee, "Fugaku I'm finally going to be a grandma!"
P.S- I Love You
Chapter 14
*Note: Damn you FF for not letting me use MY page breaks! *
FAST FORWARD TO THE DAY OF THE BALL
I blushed as I rekindled the past memory. I turned to the piece of folded aged paper that I had stumbled across in while picking up my room and reread my childish handwriting,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sakura Haruno
I love you
I crumbled up that paper I had and placed it in my pocket, it was of no use to me now. I looked in the mirror to quickly straighten up, today was the day. I should be excited? Nervous? Thrilled? All the above? Well I would be if I wasn't being blackmailed and if I had just made it a second sooner to ask Sakura. I don't mean to be grim but today didn't even seem like a celebration, rather it felt somber like a funeral.
"Look sharp." I snapped out of my thoughts when Itachi's hand came in contact with my shoulder, she smiled at me a box in his hands. He looked down and back to me, "Here" he laughed pushing the container to me. I unraveled it to find none other than a can of mace. I looked at him confused which caused him to laugh, "I heard you were escorting Ami to the ball so I saw it only fitting that you have something to protect yourself if she tries to make any advances."
Just thinking about it made me shiver, "Thanks I guess"
"Oh my beautiful boys!" My mother cried as she entered the room, with my father in tow, the camera flashing, "stand together and let me get some pictures" she as well as my father looked at the can of mace in my hands questionably.
"You know son when I was a boy your age I carried a condom as a—"
"Fugaku!" Mikoto yelled, while my brother rolled on the floor laughing. I however wanted to die.
"What the boy has a can of mace Mikoto; unless the times have changed I'm pretty certain that the safest insurance plan for him on the day of a dance is a handy dandy rubber not some can of pepper spray." He said raising his hands in the air in self defense. I knew it; I was given a dysfunctional family. For people that were high and mighty my parents could be pretty embarrassing.
"I gave that to him to fend off Ami Wantanabe, Father" Itachi said finally managing to dried his tears of laughter, "She seems to have black mailed him into going to the winter ball with her in exchange for Sakura's safety"
My father looked at me with intent, "Is this true Sasuke?"
I nodded hell they might as well know now, "Yes Father"
"That Bitch, how dare she ruin my Sasu-chan and threaten my daughter-in-law!" My mother fumed, "Let me talk to this girl, I'll make sure that the next thing she is able to see is the underside of my car tires!" My father placed his hands on her shoulders, "Mikoto calm down, this is not a fight that we can get into this is up to Sasuke."
"Ok, but if I catch her around here then I can't promise that I won't go easy on her" she huffed as she left the room. My father turned to his attention to me, "make me proud son" he said with a smile and left the room.
I would do anything for Sakura and if that meant sacrificing my happiness for a couple of hours for her then so be it…but one thing for sure is that I am NOT leaving this house without that can of mace.
When I arrived at the dance everything seemed to be in full swing. The decorations were expensive, the lighting made me look hotter than ever before and the music was finally picked by a student committee and not the staff. In all it looked like Tsunade's bargain of paying for a fraction of the dance meant that only the DJ and food would get paid for everything else was up to us; typical.
"Good luck otouto, just remember no means no" he chuckled before leaving to join his friends.
"Teme!" I turned my head in the direction of the dobe, well what do you know he cleans up nice, "Teme, ok I have a foolproof plan to get you…"
"Oh Sasuke-kun!" a certain voice screeched louder than the music played, interrupting Naruto while causing me to shiver. Upon seeing Ami however I was caught off guard, for someone that was out to get my future wife and for someone known to have a certain reputation she certainly knew how to dress accordingly.
"Hey Teme I think she is trying to tempt you, there is no way she would ever buy a dress that innocent"
And for once I kind of agreed. The girl was wearing a dress that was not in any way slutty or what I imagined she would wear. In a sense it reminded me of something Sakura would wear.
"Sasuke-kun, you didn't come by my house to pick me up tonight. You didn't FORGET me did you?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice to which I heard Naruto chuckle,
"Its not that he didn't forget you bitch its just he didn't want you" I elbowed him in the ribs
"Cause you know, when my dates happen to forget me, things tend to happen, and you wouldn't want that do you?"
Fuck Sasori being a terrifying mob boss, this girl wins tenfold. She gets you with seduction then when you gain from her she sure as hell makes sure that you give back…with intrest. If I didn't hate the fact that she was blackmailing me so much I would defiantly refer her to my father so he can put her in the sales team.
"Shit teme she's scary"
"I heard that you idiot, now get loss before I make sure that you don't exist"
"This girl did not just tell me…Teme who does this bitch think she it?" he yelled pointing at her, "You think that just because you have on that dress doesn't mean I can't see the cards your playing!"
The dark blue hair girl snickered, "Just so you know Uzumaki I'm the bitch that can ruin your life in a snap, don't think that just because you're the mayor's son you can't get into trouble. Sweetheart I can make things happen that will get your daddy kicked out of office and get you put behind iron bars for at least a year." Her eyes twinkled in evil and Naruto fumed. I was holding him back but if she pushed anything else she was as good as dead, her hand reached out and tipped his chin up, which I could have swore he almost bit her fingers off, "Now be a good boy and run along."
"Oh I'll show you running.."
Ami turned to me dangerously narrowing her eyes, "If you don't want anything to ruin Sakura's night then you better tell him to leave."
Naruto halted in his tracks, "Teme don't tell me this is why she's with you tonight."
"Naruto I really think its time you leave" My bangs covered my eyes as I clenched my fist in anger, "Look Hinata just arrived, you should really go."
"Sasuke"
"Let me handle this, just go." And just like that the dobe left while I was chained to the devil. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me closer to her body.
"Good boy, now take me to dance" I nodded and pulled her onto the dance floor moving slowly to the beats of the music. Where the hell was my can of mace now?
WITH A CERTAIN GROUP OF FRIENDS IN THE CORNER OF THE GYM
"So that's why Sasuke is here with her? Wow talk about going to the ends and back for love" Tenten exclaimed as she situated herself closer to Neji.
"I just think you all made this whole thing Troublsome. "
"But you have to admit that what Sasuke is doing is very honorable and sweet"
"Can I please get rid of Ami before I explode?" Naruto exclaimed his shy girlfriend laughed and scooted down the ottoman couch to get closer to him, "Be careful Naruto you know what they say about Karma"
"Karma can go suck it for all I care, I don't know who Ami thinks she is but all I know is that I want her dead" he grumbled sinking into the plush couch.
"Well does he know what he's going to do to get out of this mess?" Kiba asked
"Nope but I do" Ino exclaimed smiling widely, "This is the plan"
WITH SAKURA AND SAI
One more time, we're gonna celebrate
Yea oh yea alright don't stop the dancing
One more time we're gonna celebrate
"This dance looks amazing Sai!" Sakura exclaimed as she grabbed his hand and ran inside. He mentally smiled at her character. She looked stunning tonight, the gown she had picked made her live up to her namesake. The white made her look pure and the small flowers that littered the bodice allowed her to become a pure masterpiece. (A/N:It looks like the Snow White dress from the Alfred Angelo Collection, but less fluffy)
"It's almost like a living fairytale" he said which caused her to look at him questionably.
"We're going to turn it down a notch so guys bring that special girl onto the dance floor and move to the sweet beats of this next track"
He bowed and motioned toward the dance floor like the chivalrous knight he was, "Would you care to dance milady?" his odd antics made her giggle,
"Why but of course brave knight" she placed her hand in his and he led her to the floor, savoring every moment before he knew he had to give her up.
SASUKE POV
The moment my eyes laid upon Sakura Haruno was the moment I went to heaven. She looked beautiful, like a princess. Her dress was a beautiful snow white that made her pink hair and skin standout to made her look radiant. Her hair was not in some intricate design instead it was pinned back with mere hairclips, and she didn't put on globs of makeup, rather a shade of blush and mascara made her eyes stand out.
I had to muster up all the strength in the world to not push Ami away and run and scoop Sakura in my arms. By the way that she laid her head on Sai's chest it looked like she was satisfied just where she was.
"Don't worry I won't ever leave you like she did." I looked down to Ami who eyes landed on mine," I know how it feels to watch the person you love walk into the arms of another"
"What?" I asked confused by her sudden change in personality, was she being genuine this time?
"Nothing, just remember if you don't live up to your deal, then Haruno can kiss society goodbye" she smirked. Well there goes the Ami I was beginning to feel bad for.
As they glided across the dance floor the prince could not help but yearn for the little girl, she was so beautiful and elegant, but he remembered that she was happy without him and if she was happy then so was he.
MEANWHILE
"That was fun Sai but its kind of lame that they are just going to play couple's songs for the next 10 minutes" Sakura grumbled as she turned to her awfully silent partner. She noticed that throughout the dance he pulled her close on several occasions as if he was afraid that she was disappear into the air. She failed to notice the glares he had sent to a certain couple just as she failed to notice the couple itself.
"Sai are yo—"
"Sakura what do you think of me"
"I think you're an awesome person"
He shook his head and smiled, she noticed the troubled glint in his eyes, "No as more than just a person"
She sat next to the boy and enveloped him in a hug, "I love you silly, why the all of a sudden questions?" she said with a slight giggle. Sai could hear the doubt in her voice, he could finally see the truth now and he was certain of what he had to do, "I finally see now"
Sakura looked that the boy questionably, something was up but she didn't get to ponder it for something else caught her eye.
There on the dance floor in a loving embrace were none other than Sasuke Uchiha and Ami Wantanabe and she was pretty sure than unless she was having a heart attack her heart was surely breaking.
However on the other side of the ballroom a certain little girl glared daggers at the prince and his date, it broke her heart to see the one boy who she grew up with dance with someone else.
A/N: So what did you think? I hope you enjoyed it!
Also by the way, who the hell is Ami Wantanabe? I've seen everyone use her in their creations and I've always assumed that she was a villian in Naruto. I've tried looking but I haven't found anything. Anyone care to explain cause I am a little bit
Next and last chapter is coming soon. At times like this I wish I was able to show you via anime how the scene would look like. I mean how cool would that be? haha
