I don't own Naruto and characters etc.

I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.

With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).

Chapter... whatever it is

Sakura left Tsunade's office through the door today (which is unusual for her) and walked down the corridor trying to decide how kind to herself it would be to go to see Itachi and Anko when she knew she would feel uncomfortable about it when she got there... but then again they were doing 'briefy' boring stuff and she was probably not supposed to distract them.

'And not the good kind of distraction either.' Maaya said frowning. If she'd had her way Sakura would have left the house in naught but netting. Thank kami she hadn't had her way.

'Yeah yeah. What do you think about visiting Sasuke before we start reading the chuunin files?'

'Just go already. We're both waiting.'

Sakura didn't know exactly what she would say but she was fairly certain of what she wouldn't: "Why the hell was Anko at your house?"

'I've got to stop thinking bad things about her,' Sakura thought, 'She's my friend. She's my friend.'

Sakura tried chanting the friendship affirmation but it didn't really take away the 'She's everywhere he is and he is.' that was in the back of her mind.

Before she'd even realized it Sakura was standing in front of two large wooden gates, the hand of which were just about level with her nose.

'Maybe Itachi's stupid weights have stopped me growing... I'm going to be short forever.' She sighed dismally as she used her pinkie to shift the door forward, it swung however and slammed against the wall with the brackets flipped over themselves and straining.

'At least I'm strong...'

Sasuke heard his gate jolt and yell and without any loss of cool he walked to the front door. 'Sooner than I thought.' He smirked and opened the door to find Sakura standing, hands on hips, at his doorstep.

"Hello Sakura."

"Hn. Can I come in."

He stood aside for her to walk past, the opportunity to watch her from behind as she walked not escaping him.

Sakura noticed of course but she'd come here to be nice and she would let it go.

"Here for any specific reason Sakura?" He asked, acting as uninterested as he could despite his knowing exactly why she was there.

Sakura looked around his living room, turning to him and then shaking her head. "Nope. Just to say hi."

'Sure.' Sasuke thought. "So it has nothing to do with Anko and Itachi?"

"What are you talking about?" Sakura's eyes flew to his.

"Isn't it obvious? Well I thought so, so I had a little chat with Anko this morning..."

"That's why she was here?"

"You knew she was here?" Sasuke couldn't have enjoyed this more. He used to play with Sakura and Naruto's mind's like this a long time ago but everyone was a lot smarter recently. Fortunately Sakura became very stupid when 'love' was involved.

"No! Well yes, I saw her leaving. I mean I was just walking past when she was..."

Sasuke only nodded to end her babbling. It didn't work, not that Sasuke minded much. He liked how stressed she was getting; it made her breathing hard and with heavy breathing came...

"I didn't realize you were just talking I thought... " Sakura did stop then.

"Thought?" Sasuke encouraged smugly.

"Nothing. Anyway what did she say?" Sakura's new affirmation: 'Change the subject, change the subject.'

"Well I confronted her and asked if there was anything between her and my brother."

"My Itachi?"

"Whatever, and she kind of exploded, just started smiling and going on and on. It was like lifting the lid off a-"

"What do you mean?" Sakura was frowning, her vision becoming steadily more blurred as this unravelled.

"Come on. You didn't suspect anything? She told me all about some day ages ago when you were training with Tsunade and they went on a mission together. And she got carried away with the 'too much information' there if you ask me but-"

"Stop!" Sakura had her hand on her ears. "I don't believe it." She was shaking her head as ribbons began fading through the strands of her hair.

"Well you don't have to Sakura." Sasuke just stared at her as she changed.

"Sakura?" She looked up with those eyes, her second set.

"Sorry. You're Maaya right?"

"Aha. We haven't had a real chance to meet yet..." She said slowly, softly, like silk. "Always better late than never..."

She smiled at him. "Well come on then. I haven't got all day. She's only ever this mad for so long."
