Author's Notes:

Okay, here's the next chapter, sorry it took so long to make and sorry I skipped the fight scenes, not much of a action writer so i couldn't get anything out of my head. And yeah, she'll explain why she acted that way and we'll see a bit SasukeXSakura (if you can consider it that).

Disclaimer: I don't own this... I'm just telling the truth, yah, I don't own this...

Chapter 6- Revenge sure is Sweet

Naruto groaned, he was fighting Hinata for nearly an hour now and she wasn't even sweating. He was hoping that his clones would take care of her for him but he was wrong when they were instantly removed within a moment. He was being cautious as she had closed the chakra flow on his left leg and right arm, anymore and he would be forced to show the extent of his abilities. He could hear the repressed giggling of Sakura and he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Did she hate them that much that she would ignore them so much? Or was it because of something else?

"Gotcha Naruto-kun." Naruto's eyes widened before he disappeared from the area where he used to stood that now had crater in it to another area where he was safe. He had a graze on the side of his cheeks and he was on guard, who knows when another one would be launched at him. He closed his eyes and he felt the Hyuuga heiress's chakra, he smirked to himself as he moved to the side and grabbed her right arm then pinning her on the ground. He opened his eyes and he was given the privilege to stare into the mesmerizing eyes of Hinata.

"A-ano Naruto-kun, y-you can g-get o-off m-me now." He cleared his throat and stood up while offering the girl a hand to which she gratefully held on for support. He smirked and looked towards Sasuke who was looking at him passively instead while Gai gave him a thumbs up.

"You did a good job there Naruto. It seems you've improved very well during the course of your training. Kakashi-san, you're next, you'll be facing off with Gai-sensei." Naruto snickered, this was something to watch. Sasuke seemed to be interested as well as to what the fight would be again.

"Oha! I am ready my eternally youthful rival! What will we fight?" Naruto snickered when he saw the visible eye of the silver-haired jounin twitch, oh yes, this would be fun alright. He glanced at Sakura who didn't seem bothered as she kept on scribbling on the clipboard while watching Kakashi and Gai bicker with each other and exchange a few punches and kicks. After a few minutes, the battle had concluded with Kakashi winning while Gai had tears streaming down his face looking crestfallen.

"Good job, Kakashi-san." Her voice was monotone again and he didn't notice the proud glint in her eyes as she watched him retreat. Naruto glanced around, nobody was left to face Sasuke, unless that meant she was going to fight. His eyes widened, she might be Anbu but Sasuke was beyond that level now.

"Sakura-chan, even if you're cold towards me, don't fight him! I beg of you!" A pregnant silence followed before they heard Sakura laugh a bit before flexing her arm and smirking. Uh oh, was the last thing he thought as his face met a black-gloved fist.

~SAKURA~

Sakura sighed, keeping this cold facade was really tiring, but if she wins then, she could get back at Neji for forcing her on this dare. She knew that he hated her and she was showy about her hatred towards him as well which made others mistake them for the way they showed affection for each other.

'If he really ruins my chance with Sasuke-kun, I'll skin him alive.'

'Tsk, he already did. Have you forgotten? The blood pact remember?' Sakura mentally cursed, her father was a meddling man after all, and a stupid one. He could have at least made a written contract not a blood pact, now she had no way out but be in a loveless marriage, talk about funny. Sakura walked towards Sasuke, she was in her battle stance already when someone grabbed her by the shoulders and slowly moved her to the side. Chocolate brown covered her vision and she had a hunch as to who it was. Her anger ended up getting stronger, he really was bent on making her suffer as well. It wasn't her fault he was such a pansy.

"Sakura, Tsunade-sama has ordered me to spar with him instead, after all, you can't get a scar." She resisted the urge to hit him in his face, he sure was getting comfortable around her, well, that was about to change.

"Hn. Be my guest." She answered instead, Neji leaned in slowly, she could feel his warm breath on the side of her neck and it irritated her even more.

'I swear I'm gonna castrate him now!' She yelled in clear annoyance mentally.

"I'll explain why you're not allowed to fight him yet... And don't forget about the deal, you still have an hour left to lose." He stood up straight and smirked while Sakura glared at him pointedly, she grabbed the front of his shirt and forced him to lean so that she could whisper something to his ear. The moment she said it, he blushed red and she released her hold on him, smirking.

'Neji Hyuuga, blushing? You sure are getting better Sakura, this seems fun, so make sure you don't lose the bet.'

'Who said I would? Besides, if he gets his ass whipped, now we won the bet.' Sakura smirked as she walked towards the safe side, oh yes, he'd look pretty in kimono alright. However, unknown to her, her teammates had misinterpreted their exchange as adoration again, and Sasuke was seething with anger alright.

~SASUKE~

Sasuke stared at Sakura, so, she was going to fight him? Interesting, she might prove to be a worthy adversary to him, considering that she has changed a bit. She was in her battle stance when Neji Hyuuga had appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her shoulders before moving her aside and leaning towards her ear, whispering something. He was too close for comfort and Sakura didn't seem to mind, in fact, she seemed to enjoy it when she grabbed his front shirt and whispered something back that made the Hyuuga bush.

Sasuke growled, nobody should touch Sakura readily like that, she was his! He blinked at the sudden thought, since when did he thought of her as that?

"Uchiha, too you long enough to get back." He didn't answer, he didn't need to talk to someone he was going to defeat soon enough. Neji took up his battle stance as well before moving so fast that his Sharingan couldn't follow, but all that training wasn't for nothing, he moved quickly enough to dodge his attack. His Byakugan was already activated and they continued to exchange blows, it took them both five hours to finish the fight which ended in a draw as well.

Sasuke growled when he saw Sakura approach them with a smirk on her face, she knelt towards Neji at first who was frowning as she said something before paling. He smirked, well, at least that was fun seeing his reaction.

"Sasuke, this won't take a minute." He watched him move her hand delicately over his wounds. He frowned, she seemed warmer somehow, what happened to the cold aura that she directed towards them?

"Hn..." Sakura looked up and smiled slightly but not cheerfully.

"Sakura-chan, a-are you still mad at us?" Naruto asked worriedly while Sasuke tried to read an expression from her only to find none.

"No, that was just a bet I made with Neji. I lost in a truth or dare game and that was the dare he gave me, and since I won..." Sasuke felt chills run down his spine when Sakura chuckled darkly. He made a mental note not to piss her off in the future, she seemed like the kind of girl since she was able to punch Naruto in the face without warning.
