To sasuhinacanon, hello! I don't think there's a way to report them because they do not use accounts. They flames writers as guests so they won't get reported because they are a bunch of cowards. Anyway, thank you for sympathizing even though I'm not one of those great SasuHina writers. Hehe. I have also read kimmibears stories and they are all great. No wonder SasuHina haters flames her stories.

I realized that whenever the very kind guest reviewer says, "kill yourself, virgin," it just sounds so funny to me now. You're a joke, you know that? Thank you for taking the time to view my work and even leaving a review. I can see you have nothing else better to do so you spend time and effort to come here and comment. Hahahaha! I can't help it, it's really funny to me now.

Anyway!

Even though I have to admit I want to know what is up with Sasuke, my pride will never let me ask him about it. Besides, I didn't say I'm dying to know, I'm just a bit curious. But Ino is curious enough for the both of us to ask him.

"I think I'll ask him about what's bothering him." She said, her forehead furrowing.

"I'm sure it's not that serious. He might have broken her phone or something." I replied sarcastically.

She looked at me with raised brow. "How could you say that? It looks pretty serious to me." She defended, and then grabbed my arm. "Come on, let's ask him."

"Why do I have to come? Besides, wouldn't you seem strange if you just ask him about his problem when you aren't that close in the first place?" I tried to reason, not wanting Sasuke to think I actually cared for him.

"Who said we aren't close? I once played a badminton game with him." She remarked proudly, pulling me towards them. "And you have to come because deep down inside you want to know the answer too."

If I hadn't known better, I would think she's trying to set me up with Sasuke. But I know that she wouldn't do something like that because she's aware that I don't like him. And even though she's pulling me right now against my will, I'm sure she's just embarrassed to talk to Sasuke alone.

"Sasuke-kun!" She called as we near them.

When he saw us, his expression didn't change. "Is there a problem?" Naruto asked for him.

"That's what I'd like to know." Ino replied, turning to Naruto. "Why is Sasuke emitting dark aura? Did something bad happen?"

This time Sasuke spoke for himself. "Why don't you ask Hinata? She's the one who knows."

Because of the way he spoke, Ino and Naruto looked at me suspiciously as if they're trying to probe me for what it was that I did to make Sasuke act that way early in the morning. "H-Hey! Why are you looiking at me like that? I didn't do anything!" I defended myself, then turned to Sasuke and frowned. "Why are you blaming me for something I didn't do?"

"Who said I'm blaming you? I'm just saying you know the reason." He replied.

Even without his smirk, he's still able to annoy me greatly. "Why would I know? It's not like you and I ever shared secrets." I answered back sharply. What's up with him?

"I guess you forgot yesterday then." He said, turning to Ino and Naruto who are clueless about what he's talking about. "She told me it's bad to smile."

Oh, so now he's trying to make me look bad? But I just redirected the conversation. "Speaking of yesterday! Naruto-kun, you and Kiba-kun still owe me!" Naruto just grinned at me. Then I turned to Sasuke again and brought up the rose he stole from me. "And you. Why did you steal the rose Gaara-kun gave me? You were jealous, weren't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Naruto suddenly looked curious, unaware of what Sasuke did.

"I'm talking about your bestfriend opening my locker and stealing my pink rose. How did you even know my lock combination?!" I'm hoping to get Naruto on my side. "I know you did it so explain why."

Sasuke didn't answer me but instead threw a question. "Didn't you like my present better?"

"No!" Exclaimed. "Why would I?"

"Why not?" He asked again. Even without his smirk, he still managed to be annoying.

"Because I like Gaara-kun." I answered in a lowered voice than earlier. But then I remembered Ino's presence so I quickly added something. "A lot more than you.."

Sasuke was about to speak when Ino interrupted him. "I'm sorry to leave you, guys, but I have this big calculus test I have to cram for so I'll see you, guys, around!" She spoke with a sheepish smile before she started walking away.

"You don't like the person who gave you that rose." He beckoned, now giving me a smirk.

He didn't even say Gaara's name. He's so arrogant. Or maybe he's just jealous. I then snorted at his arrogance. "And how can you say that? He's way better than you in a lot of ways, so why won't I like him?" I shot at him. "And why are you smirking? I thought you're not going to do that since I told you it's bad."

"I changed my mind." He remarked.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Then I just demanded. "Give me back my rose."

"Why should I? I know you enjoyed my gifts better." He replied.

"Weren't you listening to a word I said? I didn't like your presents!" I repeated, this time saying each words as clearly as I could so he'll completely understand.

He smiled even wider. "Then give them back. If you return them, I'll return your rose." He proposed a deal.

I knew that if I say I ate it already, he'll definitely assume I loved his gifts. "I can't do that because I threw it away!" I exclaimed as soon as I thought of it.

He looked at me with raised brow. "You threw away a box of chocolate almonds?" He asked sarcastically. "You, of all people, are the last person who would throw away a chocolate." Then he smirked at me teasingly. "You ate it, didn't you?"

"Are you saying I'm a glutton?!" I yelled at him. Then I tried to calm myself. "Look, I don't care whatever you say, just give me back my rose."

"I can't, I don't have it with me." He answered, his expression returning to blank.

I knew he's playing with me so I tried to play along. Maybe he'd do what I want anyway. "Then where is it? Did you prehaps gave it to another girl?"

I'm actually losing patience as I play along with him but I'm not angry yet. "It's somewhere."

"Give it back or else I won't ever talk to you again." I threatened, slowly losing my patience. He's really the only one who manages to drain my patience away.

Then he turned serious. "Do you really want it back?" Of course, I nodded. "You sure you won't regret it?" Huh? Why would he ask if I'll regret it? What does he mean?

Naruto nudged Sasuke. "Teme, Hinata-chan looks pretty angry now. Look at the steam coming from her head." He said lowly but I still heard it and so I glared at Naruto but he made a peace sign with his fingers. "You should give her rose back." I nodded at Naruto's last remark.

Sasuke slipped his hands inside his pockets and looked at me intently. "If you really want your rose back then follow me." He finally said, turning to Naruto. "I'll see you later, dobe."

Then he started walking seemingly towards our classroom. I slapped Naruto's arm like I did yesterday and he grinned apologetically at me. Then I followed Sasuke and as soon as I'm walking beside him, I asked him. "Why are we going to my classroom? Your bag is not there."

He turned to me with a serious expression. "Who said it's in my bag? I gave it to someone else already." He said, making my eyes grow big in surprise.

"What do you mean?!" I exclaimed.

He didn't answer me, instead he turned right upon reaching our classroom and started heading towards another direction. Now it seems like he's going to the room we were trapped in yesterday.

He must have seen my expression turning angry again since I thought he's still fooling me. And then he gave me an assurance. "Don't worry, I can get it back for you if you really want it."

When we reached the room, the lights are open, and there are two people inside. One is a girl who's back is on me, and the other is none other than Gaara, staring into space at another side of the room.

As soon as I saw them while Sasuke and I stood by the doorway, I instantly opened my mouth to shout at Sasuke since I thought he's still playing a prank on me but then I heard what Gaara and the girl are talking about so I shut my mouth.

"Didn't I tell you to give this rose to Hinata? How do you expect her to fall for you if you don't give her anything on Valentine's Day?" The girl complained, showing a pink rose to Gaara. My eys widened as soon as I heard what the girl said.

"I already gave her the rose. She even thanked me for it." He replied uninterested and with an annoyed expression on his face.

The girl sounded even more annoyed when she answered him. "If you gave it to her then why do I have it with me?! Look, what I'm asking you isn't hard but why can't you just do it properly?!"

Gaara suddenly walked towards the girl and stopped a few inches from her. "You want me to make Hinata fall for me. In the process, make her hate Sasuke even more. And you want me to accomplish that because I owe you something? I don't owe you anything and I don't care whatever you say." He spoke in a low, scary voice.

"So what are you trying to say?" The girl asked, turning to Gaara. When she did, I finally realized I recognize who she is. None other than Uzumaki Karin.

"It's not worth it." Gaara answered.

That was all I could take. I suddenly had an emotional breakdown causing me to get out of there and lock myself in the girls' comfort room.
