I am so sorry for not updating this story in so long, and each chapter is taking so much time! And I know how it feels to wait for authors to update their story so you could read the next chapter...So I'm really, really sorry! I hope you guys don't hate me, cuz I love you all!

I'm not suresome ofyou don'tremember what this story was about, so I'll give you a little summary of what happened up to this chapter:

Sakura was a new student in Konoha who came from a famous school from the Sound Village. Here, she meets Uchiha Sasuke who seems to be the most popularhuman beingon campus and also his friends: Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru. She also becomes friends with Hinata and Tenten who are the only girls that doesn't hate Sakura and also the only girls that Sakura thinks that are 'normal.' Then later on that day, Sasuke suddenly asks Sakura to be his girlfriend. Sakura was startled and said that she couldn't. That weekend, everyone had a sleepover at Neji and Hinata's place, there, they found out that Sakura was a girlfriend of Uehara Ryuuji who is the baskeball star. After the sleepover, Sasuke took Sakura to the Konoha Amusement Park where they met Ino and other fan girls who chased them around the place and when finally got rid of them, Sasuke also took Sakura to his mansion and had a pasta party inviting their friends. The next day at school, this time, Sasuke took Sakura out during school, which means that they were "ditching school". Sakura met Sasuke's brother, Itachi, who asked her to come back to the AKATSUKI community. Sasuke found out that Sakura was one of the best pianist who was working at AKATSUKI but was fired because of Shiho's parents threatening Itachi to fire her. Sakura decides to join this community again. Sakura met her friends from two years ago, Yayoi, Satoshi, and Kai. Sasuke calls her and Sakura realizes that she hasn't met Sasuke for a long time. So Sasuke comes to the building to see Sakura practice and here, when Shiho sees Sasuke she suddenly kisses him.

So this is what basically happened until this chapter...I hope it helped you a bit.


Chapter 8: First Performance

Sakura saw Shiho's lips against Sasuke's. She was just standing there confused at what she was seeing.

"Argh!" Sasuke yelled as he pushed Shiho away from him, "what the hell are you doing!" He looked over at Sakura who was staring at him with wide eyes, "No, Sakura" Sasuke said, "this—"

"Shiho found her love," Sakura said with a smile, "can I start practicing? It's not that long until the next performance."

Everyone got to their places with their instruments, although they were a bit startled at what they just saw. But the one who was startled the most was Sakura. She did not play well that day and didn't make as much progress as she usually did. Sasuke was in the audience seat staring at Sakura with a worried expression.

So their rehearsal ended and Itachi dismissed the members. Sasuke ran up to Sakura who was just about the leave the building.

"Sakura, about today—"

"Don't worry, Uchiha-san I understand everything," Sakura said, "Shiho is a very straight person." Then she walked out.

"Sakura..." Sasuke ran towards her, "I just wanted you to know that it wasn't my first one."

"You mean first kiss?" Sakura asked and Sasuke nodded in reply.

Sakura sighed, "I'm sure you've been kissing a lot of women before" and started walking again. Sasuke ran up to her again.

"Sakura wait."

"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san, I really want to go home," she said a bit... or more of very irritated.

"Sakura, you were my first kiss," he said without any blushing or hesitation.

"I haven't kissed you before," Sakura said in a cold voice. This hurt Sasuke. He never heard her talk like this and her eyes were cold... and she didn't remember the time they first kissed.

So she walked off again hoping that Sasuke wouldn't bother her anymore.


Just around this time, Tenten was in the gym still at school. She was just staring at the ball which was on the floor about a foot away from her. She narrowed her eyes, she somehow saw two balls in front of her.

"I don't remember taking out two balls..." she said to herself. Tenten rubbed her eyes.

"Tenten!" Neji called out from behind. Tenten turned around, expecting to see two Neji like the ball, but she saw only one.

"What're you staring at?" Neji asked, and smirked, "what? Did you fall for me?"

"Neji, I just admire you as a basketball player and nothing more," Tenten said firmly as she rubbed her eyes again. Neji picked up the ball and started to dribble it. Tenten smiled, she knew that when Neji started to dribble a basket ball, it means that he wanted a match with her.

After 5 minutes, Tenten was panting heavily. She thought that there was something wrong with her today. She usually didn't get so tired only after playing for 5 minutes. Tenten also realized that her heart beat was beating at a very awkward pace. She held the 'time out' sign to Neji, who came walking towards her.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, "only been 5 minutes and your that tired? You haven't scored a point either."

"I'm going to go home," Tenten said. She thought that it was better for her to go home, take a good shower and sleep, incase she had a fever. She started to way out the gym but Neji stood in front of her blocking her way.

"What?" Tenten said in an irritated tone.

Neji smirked. He suddenly wrapped his arms around Tenten and pulled her closer to him. When Tenten realized what happened, she was surprised when she saw Neji's face close to her's, but she was more surprised when she found out that Neji's lips were touching hers. She quickly pushed herself away from him.

"Neji! What was that for?" She yelled at him.

"Well," Neji started, "since I've been teaching you basket ball for a while now, I thought I deserved to get something from you."

"Why did it have to be a..." Tenten blushed. She couldn't say 'kiss' "that was my first one."

"Well then, be grateful. You just had you're first kiss with the Hyuuga Neji."

"I didn't ask for it! And for goodness sake, stop the "oh my god I'm so hot" attitude!"

"oh-my-god-I'm-so-hot attitude? Am I acting that way?"

Tenten sighed and ran off to home before Neji could piss her off more.

After Tenten left, Neji started to wonder, why did he just kiss her? He kissed her in the forehead before, but he never thought of actually kissing her on the lips (even though he teased her about it that day). Neji usually kissed with girls who always wore short skirts, decorated nails, jewelries etc. but never kissed a tomboy like Tenten.

Tenten on the other hand was still running towards home replaying on what just happened. But suddenly, pain rushed through her body, she collapsed and was on the ground for a few seconds.

"What's wrong with me today?" She asked herself, "I must have a really bad cold."

So she decided to walk to her house. When she arrived, she took a shower and slept.


As Sakura walked home, she wondered why she was so angry.

"Something is annoying me…"

Then she remembered the sight where Shiho and Sasuke were kissing, which made her more upset. Wait, is this feeling...jealousy? It could be! Oh no...it's not...it can't be...Why can't it be? Ryuuji is the one I like, not Sasuke...Well, you haven't seen Ryuuji for a while now, so maybe...Oh be quiet...You're not helping me here...I better go home...

Sakura dashed home, not realizing someone was following her...

When she got home, Sakura heard her house phone ring, so she quickly got in and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" no answer

"Hello?" no answer

Sakura put the phone down. It's really strange...What is? Recently, I've been receiving these kind of phone calls, and I sometimes sense someone staring at me...Stalker? Haha, it can't be...a stalker...can it?

After a few seconds, there was another ring...Sakura hesitated to pick it up, but she did incase of her parents calling her.

"Hello?" She answered the phone.

"Is the Ms. Haruno Sakura?" The man on the other side of the phone asked.

"Yes, speaking," Sakura answered, glad that it was a decent person.

"I am the father of Uchiha Sasuke and Itachi, the head of Uchiha clan."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Uchiha." Sakura tried to speak as politely as possible.

"Ms. Haruno, I called tonight to ask if you were serious about Sasuke," he said in a deep voice, "if you are thinking about the future with my son."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Uchiha, I don't understand what you are talking about..." Sakura said confused.

"Are you not together with my son?"

"No, Mr. Uchiha."

"I see..."

"Um, Mr. Uchiha, may I ask what this is all about?" said Sakura, "Uchiha-san...er...Sasuke-kun had asked me to go out with him before but I didn't give him any replies yet..."

Sakura heard Sasuke's father sigh.

"See, we were planning to get Sasuke marry a women in an early age..."

What?

"But Sasuke...he didn't want to get arranged marriage with a woman he doesn't know..."

What is he talking about?

"So I suggested that if he was able to get a woman who would think about the future with him, Sasuke wouldn't have to be arranged marriage with anyone."

So...Uchiha-san used me?...No he couldn't have...

"I heard from him that he had a woman he was able to get together with, and I thought it was you, since you were the only girl whose phone number was in Sasuke's phonebook."

He couldn't have...right?

"Now I see, Sasuke was not telling the truth. I've sorry, I've wasted your time, thank you." Sasuke's father hung up...

Uchiha-san...?

Sasuke was walking down the street back to his apartment. He stopped when a car drove up to him. The window scrolled down, and saw his father.

"Father?"

"Sasuke, I have something to talk to you about, get in, I'll take you to your apartment." Sasuke glared at his father, and after a few seconds, he gave up and drove off with his father to his apartment.

The room wasn't very clean when they got in, and it wasn't a nice place for such an important man to be in. Sasuke started at his father, who was looking around the room as he frowned. Sasuke got inpatient at his father and spoke, "so what do you want today?"

"Well, that's a way to talk to your father. Also, why don't you come back to the mansion? You'll have a better life there, I guarantee." He said as he picked up a pillow and observed how much dust there were.

"Father, get to whatever you have to say to me, or just leave," Sasuke said firmly as he grabbed the pillow out of his father's grip and threw it back where ever it was.

"Sasuke, haven't I taught you not to lie when you were small?" He said narrowing his eyes.

"What?"

"I spoke with Ms. Haruno Sakura the other day," he did his Uchiha smirk, "I understood, you weren't together with her."

Sasuke's eyes widened, "you told her that I needed to get a girlfriend in order to avoid the arrangement!" Sasuke yelled.

"Sasuke, you should be concerned about your future more than about this girl."

"Shut up! I don't care about the damn Uchiha's future or anything of it! All I care about his her!" Sasuke ran out leaving his father behind.

Sakura sat on the park bench and sighed. He did use me… he did… why would Mr. Uchiha say such thing if it wasn't true? I thought I could believe him…

"Hey!" Sakura looked up wondering who was calling her. It was a strange man, "why are you so sad? Here, come to my apartment, I have some things to cheer you up." He smirked and grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled.

"No wait...I'm fine, please let me go," Sakura tried to pull herself away from this man but he had his hand grabbed on to Sakura's arm tight.

A few seconds later...Sasuke to the rescue! He grabbed the man's arm.

"Let go of her," he said as he glared at the man. Sasuke tightened his grip. The man smirked, let go of Sakura and walked away.

Sakura sighed in relief, but when she looked up to say 'thank you' to Sasuke, she remembered the conversations she had with his father.

"Sakura, are you o-" Sasuke saw Sakura glaring at him, "hey, Sakura, about my father..."

"You lied," Sakura murmured.

"Huh?"

"You said you liked me...but all this was so that you could get me as your girlfriend so that you wouldn't have to get married!" Sakura yelled.

"Wait Sakura." She dropped her head down.

"I thought I could trust you."

"Sakura."

"I thought I could start liking you."

"Sakura, list-"

She lifted her face up which was wet from her tears and all she said was, "liar." Sakura ran out the park before Sasuke could say anything. He was about to run too but knew that Sakura wouldn't listen to him. He kicked the garbage can and sat on the bench for hours thinking how he could fix this problem.


"Hey Sakura!"

"Good morning Sakura-chan."

Hinata and Tenten greeted Sakura at the school the next day. Sakura smiled at them, "Hey! Oh, Tenten, I heard that you were sick last night, are you alright?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine...it's all because of that stupid perverted..." she murmured.

"Tenten what?"

"Oh no nothing, even though I was sick, I stayed up pretty late studying for the test today...did you two study?"

"I stayed up late too," Hinata replied.

"Oh there's a test today?" Was Sakura's reply.

"Sakura you didn't study for it?" Tenten's eyes widened.

"There is nothing to panic about... Sakura-chan never study for her tests and gets an A every time," Hinata smiled.

I know you're glad to have me...I know...I wish I never had you...I would love to study for some tests but you wouldn't let me!

It seemed like Sakura forgot everything that happened between her and Sasuke the other day. She was having a fun talk with her friends and was happy as usual. But the truth is that the night after she left Sasuke at the park, she cried and cried in her apartment and promised to herself that she would forget everything about Sasuke and return to the life where she just waits for Ryuuji.

She promised that she wouldn't fall for Sasuke.

You liked Sasuke, didn't you? I guess I did, but not anymore. Are you sure? ...Yeah.

The girls in the classroom started to scream, Sakura knew, without looking back, that Sasuke and his friends had entered the room. Sakura frowned and calmed herself down to act as normal as possible. Sakura frowned when she heard Sasuke's footsteps coming towards her.

It's really awkward if I ignore or glare at him in front of all these people, so I should just greet him with a smile.

Sakura turned around with a smile, "good morning!" Sasuke was surprised, he didn't expect Sakura to smile at him.

Sakura turned back to speak to Hinata and Tenten. Hinata was blushing as usual, Sakura expected this since she knows that Hinata likes Naruto. But there was something very strange, Tenten's face was red. See seemed to be very angry and was blushing at the same time. Sakura wondered who she was staring at as she made this face...Neji. She wanted to ask so many questions, "why are you blushing" "did anything happen between you and Neji?" "Why are you so angry?" etc. etc. But she kept all her questions to herself in order to prevent any of Tenten's tantrums.

Sakura stood up, "Tenten, Hinata, let's go to our first class, the bell will ring soon." Sasuke and Sakura's eyes met, but she gave him a cold glare and turned back to her next class.

"Hey Sakura!" Kakashi called her, "can you take this to the storage room?" He gave her a huge stack of paper.

"This! All by myself!"

"Yeah, got a problem?"

"Oh, no. No problem at all."

"Fine, go." Kakashi ordered and off went Sakura.

"Why do I have to do this?" Sakura complained, as she walked down the hallway, "it could've been someone else... does Kakashi-sensei hate me? Maybe he does...though, it's not right for teachers to... oh maybe he still remembers when I insulted his hair style..." Sakura went on and on as she walked, so didn't realize another person walking past her.

"Sakura!" The person called. She turned back, and saw the person that she didn't want to see, "Sakura, listen."

"I don't want to hear anything from you anymore," she glared at him, "I don't want to hear any lies from you." She walked into the storage room and placed the papers on a desk. When she came out, Sasuke was there waiting for her.

"Stop it already," she sighed, "you're annoying me..."

Sasuke frowned, "can't you just listen to me!"

"I did!" Sakura yelled, "I listened to you all this time and all words that you spoke to me were lies!"

"Sakura, you're wrong."

Sakura couldn't keep her anger any longer. She walked up to Sasuke and lifted up her hand and swung it down aiming for his cheek. But Sasuke caught her hand, preventing it from having contact with his cheek. He then pulled her towards him as he leaned forward too.

Sakura realized that Sasuke was trying to kiss her and with her other hand, she slapped him across the face before their lips touched.

"S-"

Sakura was about to apologize. She didn't know why she felt bad for slapping him.

"Sakura…"

She was frightened when she saw Sasuke's eyes glowing in red, Sakura turned around and ran off. Sasuke couldn't hold the frustration and punched the wall beside him. I really need to calm down, this isn't helping me.

"The performance is tomorrow!" Kai yelled, "Sakura, you ready!"

"Yeah."

"Sakura, are you ok?" Yayoi asked, "you seem to be a bit unhappy today."

"Yeah."

"C'mon Sakura! Its your first performance since you came back! Where's your spirit!" Satoshi made a noise with his instrument.

"Yeah."

"Sakura!" Itachi yelled in Sakura's ears. She jerked her head up, looking around to see what was around her.

"Oh, um, sorry guys, yes, the performance is tomorrow, so we... uh, need to practice, I guess," Sakura quickly stood up and walked towards her piano but Itachi grabbed her arm. Sakura saw his eyes say 'I need to talk to you' and so she followed him to a room where they could talk without anyone hearing them.

"You can go home now Sakura," Itachi started off, "there's no use for you to practice today."

"What? Why?"

"When you have something in mind when playing, you never do good," Itachi sighed, "so go fix your problem and come tomorrow to the performance with a fresh mind. I never forgive mistakes at performances. Hurry up and go, Sasuke is at his apartment."

"Wait! Why did you know that my problem was Uchiha-san!" Sakura grabbed Itachi's shirt.

"Do I really need to explain?" Itachi sighed when Sakura nodded, "Sasuke usually doesn't smile when he's talking to me, but I noticed that he could smile, even when talking to me, when he's speaking about you. But these past few days, Sasuke hasn't smiled in front of me even though I speak about you. So I assumed that there was something wrong going on between you two," Sakura let go of Itachi's shirt, "Sakura, whatever you do, I want you to trust my brother because I know that he loves you and he will always be."

Tears appeared in Sakura's eyes, "I've been so mean to him, I called him a liar, Itachi-san...I never listened to him, I never let him explain what was wrong and about my misunderstanding," Sakura looked into Itachi's eyes, "Itachi-san, I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll promise you that tomorrow will be the greatest day of your life!"


Its pretty dark already Sakura thought to herself when she left the AKATUSKI building We better get to Sasuke-kun fast, before the stalker attacks us...What! Stalker? Haven't you noticed? There's this person following around us for a while...Oh my god, stop talking, you're scaring me now.

Sakura ran as fast as she could down the street to where Sasuke's apartment was located. But before she could reach to press the bell, someone covered her mouth from behind, pulled out a knife and put it close to Sakura's neck. Stalker!


Sasuke opened his window wondering what all the noise was from outside. He saw police cars all over the street. He looked right down his window and saw Sakura with the stalker guy, "Sakura...?"

He rushed down the building and saw what the place was really like. There were millions of police officers with guns pointing at one direction, Sakura and the man. Sasuke recognized the man, he was the one with Sakura at the park and who Sasuke chased away. He still had his hand covering Sakura's mouth and a knife in the other. Sakura's face was white and when she saw Sasuke, tears started the flow down.

The man laughed hysterically and said, "that bitch fired me! I have noting left now since I killed my whole family, hahaha! I want to kill myself but I need someone to come with me..so I thought a young woman could help. I was successful in killing four women but I could never kill myself! This one will be my last one! I heard that she's a famous pianist...I bet tons of people would be crying tomorrow to hear your death!"

He lifted up his knife and Sakura closed her eyes frightened. Sasuke grabbed a gun from one of the police officers and shot the knife out of the man's grip. After the knife was on the ground, all officers jumped on the man.

Sakura ran to Sasuke and he held her tightly as she cried. When she felt a bit better Sasuke took her up to his room.

"Sakura, you got me really scared there," he said, "I was never so scared in my life before."

"I-I'm sorry, Uchiha-san..." Sakura apologized.

Sasuke held her for another few more minutes until she was calm and was able to talk normally, "Uchiha-san."

"Yeah?" He cupped her cheeks with his hands.

"I want to apologize about everything...I've been very rude to you, I should've listened to you because I know that you wouldn't lie to me and..."

"Sakura, I understand, that's ok." He hugged her again and Sakura laughed.

"It's 1:00am!" Sakura suddenly stood up hitting Sasuke's chin with her head.

Sasuke frowned and said, "Sakura, did you just have to ruin the good mood?"

"I better get going!"

"Sakura, are you listening to me?"

"Uchiha-san, thank you so much for everything!" Sakura left for the door but Sasuke stopped her.

"Do you live by yourself?" He asked and Sakura nodded, "then I don't want you to be alone in your apartment after this incident. I need to you to stay with me tonight and we'll go to school tomorrow morning together." Sakura hesitated at first but soon agreed.

Sasuke and Sakura took a shower and he lent her his clothes for her to sleep in.

"Uchiha-san, your clothes are so huge," Sakura said looking at what she was wearing, "you're really fat, need to get on a diet, huh?"

"Not fat, it's called muscle, Sakura."

They both laughed remembering the other time they had the same conversation.

Sasuke lied down on his bed, "Sakura come." Sakura walked up to where he was and Sasuke suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her down on the bed.

"Uchiha-san! What are you doing, let me go!"

Sasuke held her tight to prevent her from getting away. He laughed and said, "C'mon Sakura, I won't do anything to you."

"You really won't?"

He smirked, "maybe." Sakura frowned at him and again struggled to get off the bed which wasn't successful as Sasuke was still holding on to her, "Sakura, just stay still it's only for a night, plus I saved you from that psycho only a few hours ago, I would appreciate it if you just listen to me and show some gratitude."

"F-fine, be all mean, then..."

Sasuke smiled and reached over to turn the light off. He also pulled the blanket on the bed to cover himself and Sakura.

"Uchiha-san, can you at least let go of me when I'm sleeping?" Sakura said blushing.

"No," was all Sasuke said.

"You always give the 'no' to whatever I say, have you ever said 'yes' to anything that I ask for?"

"No." Sakura laughed.

"You were pretty awesome today, where did you learn to use a gun?" Sakura asked remembering seeing Sasuke shooting the knife out of the man's hand.

"I never learned how to handle that thing, I just did it," he said.

Sakura went pale, "does that mean you could've missed and shot me!"

"Hey, you're still alive, if I haven't shot it there, you wouldn't be here."

"Well, that's true," Sakura smiled, "thanks for today, Uchiha-san."

Sasuke smirked, "did you fall for me?"

Sasuke said it as a joke but he was surprised at what Sakura answered.

"I did," Sakura blushed furiously; she was glad that the room was dark, which prevented Sasuke from seeing her face.

Sasuke first froze, replaying what he asked and what Sakura answered.

"S-Sakura, does that mean that you-"

"Yeah."

Sasuke held her tighter, "finally, you're mine." Sakura was busy trying to calm herself down, she couldn't say anything. After a few seconds, she felt Sasuke's breath on her face; she noticed that his face was coming closer and closer to hers. Sakura closed her eyes and waited until she felt his lip touch hers.


"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura yelled jumping off the bed, "w-why am I sleeping with him? And why am I in his apartment!"

Sasuke sat up, "oh good morning Sakura" he smirked remembering what happened last night, "so do you remember everything?" He asked.

"Remember what?"

"I saved you from you're stalker and you confessed your love to me," his smirk went wider.

"Oh yeah, that's right..." Sakura was calm now.

Sasuke's smirk turned into a smile. He walked towards Sakura, bent down and kissed her forehead saying, "hurry up and get ready for school."

Sakura blushed and rubbed her forehead.,"but I don't have my uniform."

"Oh yeah, around at 3, I snuck in your house and brought your uniform, here," he handed the blouse and skirt to her, "hurry and change, we're late already."

They ran out of the apartment and headed for school.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Tenten yelled, "isn't your performance today after school!" Hinata nodded.

"Oh yeah, here, I want both of you to come! This is the ticket," she handed the white piece of card to Hinata and Tenten. They both smiled and read the card.

Sakura frowned and turned back to where the boys were, "what are you four whispering about?"

"I heard that you're going out with Sasuke now, huh?" Neji smirked, "Congrats."

Hinata and Tenten looked at Sakura, "is it ture!"

Sakura blushed, "UCHIHA-SAN!"

Sasuke laughed, "don't get so mad Sakura, sooner or later, they were going to know."

"Anyway," Sakura frowned and passed out the white card to the four boys, "you four can come too."

"Are you serious Sakrua?" Naruto yelled, "thanks!" He tried to give her a big hug but was prevented by the Sasuke who will not be very happy to see his friend hugging his girlfriend.

The bell rang and off they went to their classes.


Sakura left school earlier than others as usual and headed to the building. She was amused at the stage, there were flowers on the wall, the floors waxed and seats were renewed. Sakura was surprised when she saw a huge sign that says, "Sakura is back!" She was almost about to cry but thought that tears weren't good before her performance.

"So is your mind nice and fresh?" Itachi asked from behind, it scared Sakura a bit.

"Itachi-san, yes, I'm all ready to go!"

"Sakura, you're the one that will make today the best day of my life. Do you think you can make it?" He smirked just like his brother.

"Of course Itachi-san, who do you think I am?"

"Sakura!" Her three friends called, "it's finally the day, you ready Sakura?" Sakura smiled at them.

Then she saw Shiho walking towards her, "my parents are coming today," she said, "so you better make this a good performance, don't you dare ruin it."

"I'll make sure your parents will be satisfied!"

The audiences started walking into the room, and sat on their chairs. Sakura was behind the curtain waiting for her friends to enter. After a few minutes of waiting, Sakura saw them walking down the isle towards their seats.

"There's cameras!" Tenten yelled, "Sakura's gonna be on TV!"

"Tenten-chan, shhhhh, calm down," Hinata said noticing the stares from other audiences.

Sasuke saw something pink behind the stage curtain, he recognized who it was. Sakura had a pink dress matched with her hair. Sasuke waved at her mouthing 'do your best.' She smiled at him and left the stage.

"You know, Sakura, most of the audience is yours," Satoshi said, "you can't make mistakes today, are you nervous?"

"Gosh Satoshi, stop pressuring her!" Yayoi kicked him in the leg.

"There's nothing to worry," Kai smiled, "it's Sakura we're talking about, one of the world's famous pianist. I can finally buy my car after we get the money!"

Sakrua laughed, "I'll be fine."

Itachi walked up to them, "Sakura won't make mistakes when she's having fun."

"Itachi-san."

The light was off and the stage light was on. Sakura stared at the grand piano on the stage. This is her first performance, so she needs a good start, she cannot make mistakes.

"Hey Sakura," Shiho appeared from the dark, "is Sasuke-kun here? I really want to see him."

"Yeah he's here," Sakura answered.

"Really!"

"Yeah but sorry," Sakura smiled, "he's mine." Sakura then turned around, took a deep breath, and walked towards the stage.


"Hey Ryu! Come here," Kiba called pointing at the TV, "isn't this your girlfriend?"

Uehara Ryuuji walked up to the TV and smiled at what he saw. His girlfriend was playing the piano with a bright smile.

"She's good at playing the piano," Kiba complimented, "plus she's hot! Can I have her, Ryu?"

"No."

"Haha thought so," Kiba laughed, "where is this?"

"Konoha."

"Oh it's the next place we're having a game," Kiba kept talking, "can I meet her?"

"Kiba, be quiet," Ryuuji said irritated, "I want to listen to her piano. I recognize this piece, she played it for me when we first met."

"Ryu, damn you you show off."

Ryuuji laughed and went closer to the TV. He kissed the screen saying, "I'll be there, Sakura."

So this is it! How was it? I kinda thought that it was too early for Sasuke and Sakura to be together, but this way, things will get less complicated and I thought it would be easier to write.

Again, I apologize for the late update, and again, I think the next chapter will be late too since I'm going to Japan for 1.5 to 2 months and I don't live in Japan so don't have a computer there…lame. But I'll write (by hand) in Japan and hopefully I can update as soon as I get back here.
