Summary: Sakura's the new girl in town. She's tough and Sasuke respects that. So much so, he throws away his womanizing demeanor and tries to get her attention only. He knows it's only a matter of time before she gives into his charm, but what's holding her back? What happened in her past that made her as tough as steel, but as fragile as glass?

1. Prologue by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 1]
(407 words)Disclaimer: All Naruto characters mentioned rightfully belong to Masashi Kishimoto. The storyline, setting, and anything else fictional belong to my mind and mine alone.
xD Well, my first posted fanfic. Don't be too harsh, the storyline came to me at 11:00 at night and I just felt like writing it down.
Anyway, I'd appreciate the usual comments and rates, but tell me what could improve my writing. ^^ Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!
Note: Italics = Thoughts
2. Chapter 1 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 3]
(907 words)Umm... Chapter one! Disclaimer is the same as it is with the Prologue. ^^
Chapter two's gonna be up in a little bit.
3. Chapter 2 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 2]
(921 words)Disclaimer: Same as it was in Chapter 1. I don't own the Naruto characters mentioned, only the plot that they are following.
Don't you just hate restricted numbers and cliffhangers? xDD
Oh, and starting Monday the 18th, I will be gone for a week. Until then, enjoy this new chapter. ^.^
4. Chapter 3 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 2]
(828 words)^^;; Sorry for the vacation delay. Anyway, enjoy chapter 3!
Disclaimer: Naruto characters do NOT in ANY WAY BELONG TO ME. ^_^ If they did... well, there would be a few changes.
Note: Beginning of this chapter starts the morning AFTER chapter 2's end. Don't get confused. =) And the chapter ended horribly, I know. But I needed to update and there's swimming practice tomorrow morning, so bear with it. ^^;; Rate and review!

(173 words)6. Chapter 4 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 1]
(754 words)Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto... *yawn* If I did... things would change. Drastically. Well, nothing to do with the main characters. More along the lines of Gaara being loved. So before I start ranting, here's chapter 4! Sorry it took a while, but chapter 5's almost done, so that'll be up soon. ^^ Hopefully...
7. Chapter 5 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 1]
(1233 words)Disclaimer: Naruto is copyrighted to Masashi Kishimoto. I don't intend to steal, even though I'd gain absolutely nothing from saying these are my characters. *cough* Anyway...
8. Chapter 6 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 4]
(1044 words)Finally! A new chapter. -__-
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto at all. I wish I did, though. It is copyrighted to Masashi Kishimoto.
9. Chapter 7 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 2]
(1606 words)Wheeeee! And we're getting to the good stuff. ^^ Too bad the chapter ended.
As things fall into place, here's a thought for any readers a bit more curious about the NejiTen story going on. Would it be better if I had their past revealed in this fanfic? Or should I make a new fanfic that revolves around them? *shrugs* I could go either way.
And now for the disclaimer that states I own no Naruto characters whatsoever! ^^ Enjoy chapter 7!
10. Chapter 8 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 3]
(1662 words)Okay. So. I'm soooo sorry about my delayed absence. It wasn't my fault!! T_T Stupid computer crashing and failing internet connection... so there's only one new chapter, but I'm working on it! ^^;; Enjoy, and please welcome me back.
Disclaimer: Now that I'm back, I should remind you all that I don't own the Naruto characters whatsoever! -___-
11. Chapter 9 by _Asharia_ [Reviews - 2]
(1105 words)ZOMG SHE LIVES. ^_^;; Eheh...
SORRY SORRY SORRY! Not like anyone reads this, but still. SORRY SORRY SORRY! I know I've been gone for... ever, but I kinda lost interest in the story. x.x Knew I should've written it all down before I posted. Anyway... I will probably be very slow in updating, but I will continue to write. It just might take a while...
Maybe as long as it takes for LK to update with YGOA... xDD
Enjoy?
