Sorry ya'll. Once again it took a longish time. I typed this up in like an hour so I don't know why I procrastinated so much.

As for humor.... I'm not in a very humorous mood, i'm afraid and this chapter reflects that.

And for the record, it was soooooo much longer when I typed it on notepad....

Anyways. Enjoy,R&R, hygiene and all that.

"I see..." Kakashi said over the phone after Sasuke had explained the situation. " I know what you need to do."

"What?" Sasuke asked desperately.

"You need to seduce her. Hit it and quit it." Kakashi said.

"What? Why would I do that? Wouldn't that make her angry?" Sasuke asked.

"Just come meet me at the training grounds in 10 minutes." Kakashi replied before hanging up the phone.

He didn't understand. Why would hurting her make Sakura like him? Isn't that what he'd been doing all along? She was crying before, so why was Kakashi's advice valid? Many questions and no one to answer them. Sasuke slipped on his shoes and walked outside. Girls were confusing. How come he could get the attention of any and every girl except the one that mattered? Another answer-less question.

Surely Kakashi would have some answers. He read a lot of books, which suggested intelligence. Although the content of said books may be questionable, they were books all the same. When was the last time Sasuke read a book? About a year ago. He'd gotten bored and stolen it from Hinata's bag. He still had it actually. It was about some girl whose parents had sold her and sister to these people who made her dance and fall off roofs and have sex with creepy men. Some type of memoirs. He'd read it twice. Some type of memoirs. How could someone make memoirs that are fictional? Suddenly, Sasuke bumped into TenTen and was snapped away from his thoughts of fictional memoirs.

"Watch it!" TenTen yelled.

"Whadaya mean watch it? You were in my way." He retorted. "I'm gettin' sick of you! Waltzin' around like your important. Like you have some type of meaning! Well I've got news for ya kid! Your meager existence is just as meaningless as everyone else's! So why don't you just pull out that giant pole that appears to be stuck up your --"

"TenTen? What are you doing?" Neji asked interrupting her rant.

"I'm telling him off. That's what I'm doing!" TenTen answered defiantly.

" I believe Sakura's already done that. Come along TenTen." Neji said walking away and pulling TenTen with him.

All Sasuke could do was stand in the middle of the road with his mouth open. Three things happened. Number 1 : Neji had insulted him and it had been extremely relevant. Like 10 minutes ago relevant. Number 2: TenTen had told him off and she had won. TenTen never said anything mean to him until now. Number 3 : He had lost. He had failed to do anything about either insult and they were already out of sight.

He'd gone soft. Sakura had completely destroyed everything he thought to be a part of his personality. It had taken years to build his ego and his persona, his confidence. She had obliterated all that in less than an hour. Sasuke had half a mind to march over to Sakura's house and demand that she love him or else. She had done much worse. Yet, for some reason, he felt he still needed to please her. Like her satisfaction was still quite necessary.

Once he'd gotten to the training grounds, he could've gasped at the fact that Kakashi was already there. Was this occasion truly special enough to make Kakashi show up on time? Kakashi immediately stood up and put down his book when he saw Sasuke.

"You're late boy!" Kakashi announced.

"I'm sorry am I taking over your job?" Sasuke retorted.

" I'll ignore that and instead give you this." Kakashi punched Sasuke square in the jaw.

"What the hell?" Sasuke yelled.

" That's for waiting so long to call me about this." Kakashi said. " So the first thing you need to do is go to her house and apologize. Then you use that hypnosis jutsu I taught you and-"

"Is there any way to do this without deceiving her?"

Kakashi looked at Sasuke as if he was some sort of Pokemon in the Death Note world.

"Anyways, you use that jutsu and ask her how she really feels, then she'll answer and you'll come back here and tell me before she snaps out of it. Sakura will think you showed up there in a vivid dream when she wakes up because you will position her on the couch in some sort of napping formation. Got it?" Kakashi seriously. Sasuke nodded. " Then go." Kakashi said.

"Oh, and Sasuke?" Kakashi called out. "This is your mission so don't fail. Because when it comes to non-ninja things, you are good at failing." Kakashi said.

****

Sasuke stood outside of Sakura's door with hand poised to knock and he stopped. What if the jutsu didn't work? It would, he knew, because he'd tested on an old lady outside of the ramen shop. He rapped his fist against the door the first time and it opened. It was unlocked, so he walked in. No one was in the living room. Sasuke closed the door behind him and walked into the kitchen there was a pot on the stove, the fire was on, but it appeared that all of the water had boiled out. Sasuke turn off the stove and opened the door to Sakura's bedroom.

"Sak-" Was all he could say. Were his eyes deceiving him? He blinked. The cruel image was still there.

"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled in surprise, noticing his presence and covering herself.
