Flashback

Last Chapter

Naruto: Come on sis. What is it?

Sasura: Would you give me away to Gaara, at the wedding?

-Silence-

Chapter 5

Tears start to flow from Naruto's eyes, tears of joy.

Gaara: -stunned-

Sasura: Nii-chan?

Naruto: -embraces his sister- I would be honoured.

Kyuubi: -wailing- That was… so touching. –wipes eye with random tissue-

Naruto: 'Are… are you CRYING?!'

Kyuubi: HEY! I have feelings too y'know!

Naruto: -inwardly smirks- 'Big softy'

Sasura: Ah… nii-chan? Can't… breathe.

Naruto: Oh! –lets go and wipes eyes- Sorry. –smiles-

Gaara: So… when shall we start planning the wedding?

Naruto: Immediately.

Gaara: Where?

Naruto: Hokage's office.

Sasura: When?

Sakura: Next month, let's say the 31st.

Gaara: What about the tux?

Sasura: And the flowers?

Sakura: -pauses- Well…

Naruto: We have to Sakura. Sasuke and Ino are the best in the village. And I only want the best for my sister's wedding, even if it causes me some discomfort.

Sakura: -sighs-

Gaara: If it's too much trouble…

Sakura: No, no. It's nothing. We'll go first thing tomorrow, after training.

-- Later that night --

Naruto: -walks into his room and sees Sakura looking at their Team 7 picture, a tear hits the frame- Sakura? Are you okay?

Sakura: -jumps and looks up- Huh, oh. Hey, Naruto. –wipes her eyes and smiles a fake smile- What's up?

Naruto: -walks over to her- Nice try, Sakura. I know you're upset about seeing them again, but we have to.

Sakura: I know that…

Naruto: but?

Sakura: ARGH! It's been three freaking months! I should be over him already, but I can't…

Naruto: you can't help feeling empty without him, right?

Sakura: -stares at him, amazed- How do you keep doing that?!

Naruto: That's because I feel the same way. I'm about to see Ino for the first time in three months. Will I crumble or will I be strong? I don't know. But the fact that I'm going for my sister's wedding helps me a lot. Believe it.

Sakura: -hugs him- Since when did you get so smart, huh?

Naruto: Oh, since I met you.

There was a knock at the door.

Sasura: Hey Nii-chan, Sakura-san. Do you guys want to go to the arcade with me and Gaara?

Sakura: I'm a little sleepy. You go ahead Naruto. I need to clear my head.

Naruto: Okay. –walks outside his bedroom- I think Sakura is done for the day, but I'll go.

On the way to the arcade, Akamaru ran out from a corner, causing Shino, Hinata, and Kiba to come onto the scene.

Kiba: WHOA! It seems fox-boy is a third wheel.

Naruto: I AM NOT A THIRD WHEEL! THIS IS MY SISTER YOU BAKA!

Kiba: Oops. My bad dawg. Hey, I heard about Ino… sorry dude.

Naruto: I'm ok. But I hear that you and Hinata are together now, huh?

Kiba: -turns red like face markings- Yeah. She's great.

Naruto: I'm happy for you two. Just treat her right, okay. You know she's like a sister to me.

Kiba: Anyways, what's Gaara doing here? And the smoking hot babe is your sister?

Naruto: That's right; she's my sister and Gaara's about to become my brother-in-law.

Shino: Congratulations. (A/n: he speaks!)

Hinata: I'm really happy for you and your sister.

Naruto: Thanks Hinata.

Sakura stayed in her room and looked out the window. She had heard the whole conversation. Once they had left, she debated following them. She felt a longing for Naruto, but she couldn't explain why, even if she tried.

Sakura: 'Maybe I should… go to the arcade.

Inner Sakura: and confess your feelings

Sakura: 'But what if he doesn't accept them.'

Inner Sakura: What if he does? Take a chance. You never know.

After some time, she finally decided to go for it. Once she got there, she noticed Sasura was playing DDR and the boys were playing Soul Calibur 2. she walked over to Sasura, who was sweaty and hot.

Sakura: Hey Sasura. What's good?

Sasura: Hey Sakura-san. I thought you were asleep. How'd you find us?

Sakura: I heard you talking outside. –looks away-

Sasura: Something wrong?

Sakura: I think… I'm in love.

Sasura: -freezes- With who?

Sakura: Well… it's… it's your…

Sasura: -goes white- My who, Sakura?

Sakura: -realizes what Sasura is scared of- Don't worry, it's not Gaara. I'm not into bad boys anymore. It's your… brother.

Sasura: NII-CHAN!?

Naruto: -still playing- Yea, sis.

Sasura: Uh… nothing. –whispers to Sakura- Are you serious?

Sakura: I am. I just don't know if her feels the same way. Then again, I'm not entirely sure either. Part of me still loves Sasuke.

Sasura: -getting annoyed- Look Sakura. Who are you happy with?

Sakura: Naruto

Sasura: Who is always there for you?

Sakura: Naruto

Sasura: Whose smile makes you go weak at the knees?

Sakura: -pauses a little- Naruto

Sasura: Then, Sakura, who do you love?

Sakura: Naruto!

Sasura: Then, turn around and tell him, Sakura.

Sakura: Huh?! –turns around- Naruto!!

A/N: Cliffhanger once again. Don't you just love those things? I know some of you want Ino and Sasuke to die very painful deaths. While I can't promise that much, I have planned a little catfight between Sakura and Ino, with a little surprise in it for next chapter. As always, review please. NO FLAMES! But good criticisms and suggestions are welcome. BTW, we are still looking for ideas on how Gaara and Sasura met. Help would be greatly appreciated.
