This is probably one of the first SasuSaku doujin works, as it was releasted back in 2000, when the Naruto fandom was still rather small. Though it's a rather tiny copy-bon, but put together very nicely. The front cover page has a hole in the shape of a heart, in which we can see Sakura's face (from the second page) from it. And under the front cover page, there is a beautiful full colour illustration of Sakura hugging either a chibi-Sasuke or a Sasuke plushie. XD The back cover has a small but cute illustration of chibi-Sakura throwing kunais while going, "Shannaro!!!" Underneath that, there is also what looks like a "damn, we got caught" SasuSaku illustration! (I swear! Sasuke looks like he is leaning in to kiss Sakura!!! XD) There is also a mini-poster-like advertisement for one of Gousetsu Chitai's upcoming doujinshi "Cherry", with sketches of Sasuke and Sakura from certain scenes in that doujinshi.
There is only one short story in this copy-bon. The setting is in Wave Country after the fight with Zabuza and Haku. Sasuke is still recovering and is stuck in bed. But when he hears that Naruto is all healed up and heading for a training session, he tries to get up, but is stopped by the pain from his wounds. Seeing this, Sakura immediately pleads for him to stay in bed, only to be told that it's none of her business. *whacks Sasuke* On the verge of tears, Sakura angrily yells at Sasuke for thinking this way because she really thought he died back then. And finally, she break down and begs him to never do something this rash again. Of course, even Sasuke can't a crying Sakura and gives in to her demand. (And he has this awfully cute blush on his face too!!! XD)

Okay, before you all spork me to death for adding an incest pairing doujinshi to my website, lemme explain!!! *pauses* Okay, I really don't have an explanation. The reason I'm adding this is because it is technically a m/f pairing and the art kicks ass. The stories in this doujinshi are mostly comedy ones, not really to be taken seriously... I think. Temari acts really really OOC, for comedy purposes while Gaara is a sneaky little bastard trying to fool around with his sister's mind.
It all starts with Gaara suddenly kissing Temari one day and telling her that he doesn't see her as his sister. (I believe this was what he said to Temari and Kankurou during the chuunin exam.) This completely confuses Temari, and she ends up blushing cutely, freaking out and having these weird expressions whenever Gaara is near her. At one point, when Kankurou points out that Temari is acting differently, Gaara drops by and literally bashes his elder brother away with his gourd. ^_^ I'm unsure if Gaara is serious in trying to pursue Temari or if he is just fooling around. Though I think it's the latter. He smirks and seems like he is silently making fun at Temari whenever she acts weird.
The last story is the only non-comedy story out of the entire doujinshi. Taking place on the night that Dosu challenges Gaara, Temari wakes up in the middle of the night to find her brother missing. She knows that Gaara's thirst for blood is especially strong on a night of a full moon. She begins to worry for him as Gaara kills/crushes Dosu at the same time. And when he returns later that night, Temari hugs Gaara to her in their sleep, giving him the comfort he needs and craves. Yes, she loves Gaara, but in a motherly/sisterly way. Kinda cute. ^_^
In all honesty, I think the comedy stories of this doujinshi would make more sense if Temari's role is given to Sakura or even Ino. The Temari in this doujinshi is way too hyper. And she also has a whole bunch of weird expressions which we usually see on Sakura or Ino. Though I must admit it's awfully amusing to see Temari acting so out of control every once in a while. Oh, and I should also add that there is a gift illustration of Gaara-in-apron and Temari drawn by Konjou Kumiai.

This is Gousetsu Chitai's compilation doujinshi, consisting of stories from her two previous copy-bons "Daisuki!" and "Sou" plus illustrations from her information paper. While not specified, I believe the first and last story of this doujinshi are new materials. Each story is quite short, since there are four stories in total plus illustrations, and most of them are really cute comedy ones. (The best for SasuSaku, since I'm not a big fan of angst.)
The first story is set during the Forest of Death when Kabuto is leading the trio to the tower. On their way there, Sakura collapses from exhaustion. Both Naruto and Sasuke are about to reach for Sakura when Kabuto suddenly jumps in and scoops Sakura up in his arms, claiming that he'll carry her for the rest of the way. This, of courses, extremely irritates Sasuke because he doesn't like the idea of other men touching Sakura. But he tries to hide his feelings... to no avail. Kabuto easily sees through his mask and literally starts running circles around Sasuke to rub in the fact that he is carrying Sasuke's precious Sakura. XD When the craziness is finally over (with Sakura repeatedly begging Kabuto to let her down), Sasuke drags Sakura aside and ask if Kabuto touched her anywhere inappropriate. XD And once again, Kabuto jumps in to ruin the moment. But instead of flirting with Sakura this time, he starts teasing Sasuke about how close the two seem, implying that they are having a secret affair behind everyone's back!!! I <3 Kabuto-niisan!!!
The second story is taken from the copy-bon "Daisuki!" (Please see the first entry for the summary of this story.) The next story is taken from the copy-bon "Sou". The setting is back to the Forest of Death, the night after the Sound trio left them alone. Sasuke announces that he is going to stay up and take watch while the two rest. But Naruto insists on staying up as well since he doesn't want to lose to his rival. Not wanting both her teammates to do the work while she rests, Sakura also offers to stay up with them. (This completely defeats the whole purpose of one person taking watch so the others rest. *_*) It then jumps to later that night. The not-wanting-to-lose-to-Sasuke Naruto is already fast asleep. Sasuke and Sakura are still up, but Sakura is beginning to zone out. Sasuke notices this and tells Sakura to get some sleep because she stayed up all night nursing Naruto and him back to health and also because her body needs to rest in order to heal her kunai wounds. Eventually, Sakura gives in and goes to sleep. And then we get an extremely cute scene of Sakura, in her sleep, sliding down towards Naruto. Sasuke notices this and tries to remedy it by pulling her back up (because he doesn't want her to lean on Naruto XD). But before he can do it, Sakura wakes up and sits back up. And he immediately looks away, pretending nothing had happened. (Too bad Sakura was so sleepy at this point or else she would've noticed that cute little blush on Sasuke's face as he was turning away!!!) And the story ends with an adorable picture of Sasuke and Sakura leaning towards each other, with their hands touching, as they sleep!!!
The final story once again takes place in the Forest of Death when the trio got the second scroll. Sakura is supporting Sasuke on their walk to the tower when Kabuto jumps in, like the first story, and begins to bug them again. This time, he comments on how he is envious of Sasuke for having a girlfriend like Sakura. Hearing this comment, Sakura blushes cutely while Sasuke immediately denies it. (This results in a really really cute chibi scene of Sakura feeling rejected, Sasuke realizing he hurt Sakura's feelings and feeling guilty, Sakura noticing Sasuke staring at her, and the two quickly turning away when their eyes met. XD) Hearing this, Kabuto leans in towards Sakura, takes a strand of her hair in his hand, and asks her to become his girlfriend. This angers Sasuke. (Inner Sasuke completely freaked out!!!) And he pushes Kabuto away, hugs Sakura tighter to him, and threatens Kabuto to never have such inappropriate thoughts about Sakura ever again! Woohoo!!! Kabuto, however, doesn't seem to be much affected by Sasuke's threat and he continues to flirt with Sakura AND tease Sasuke at the same time. And this is pretty much what happens for the rest of the walk towards the tower. Though they seem to have forgotten all about Naruto, who was left behind and completely ignored. Heh.

This is an extremely cute doujinshi, with one long (slightly AU) story that tells of how Sakura comes to earn Sasuke's respect and becomes one of the few people he recognizes as a friend. At the beginning of the story, Sakura is seen giving some homemade cookies to Sasuke, only to be rejected because he doesn't accept gifts from people he doesn't know. (And of course, it is dangerous to accept food from strangers too!) But Sakura is not so easily discouraged, as she continues to find fairly weird ways to gain Sasuke's attention. This, however, angers a few females from her class, who claim that since they were the ones who set their eyes on Sasuke first, he officially "belongs" to them and basically tells Sakura to back down. Being the stubborn soul that she is, Sakura refuses to listen and makes a few new enemies instantly. Over the next couple of days, her new enemies start targeting her by trashing her textbooks and even scribbling ugly pictures (wide forehead jokes) on her locker. But Sakura still doesn't give in and stands up to her bullies instead, proclaiming she would not lose to her "rivals" because she loves Sasuke just as much as they do.
That afternoon, the entire class is sent on a test. Each student would get a headband of either red or white. The objective of the test is to, along with your teammates of the same coloured headband), try to get as many of the opponents' headbands as possible. But once your headband is taken by someone of the opposite team, you're out. And as luck would have it, Sakura is on the opposite team as Sasuke. XD But she devises a plan to gain Sasuke's attention, by letting him have her own headband even if it means receiving a lower mark. Surely Sasuke would be touched by her kind gesture and would take notice of her, right? So once the test begins, Sakura runs off to find Sasuke, only to find that she is too late! Her "rivals" have already beaten her to it... and are in the process of getting lectured by Sasuke, who claims that he doesn't need anyone's help to get the highest mark in class.
This is the moment when Sakura realizes that she had been doing this the wrong way. She wishes to gain Sasuke's recognition and respect, not seen as one of his petty fangirls. She wants him to see her as an equal, not someone weaker than him. And with a burst of energy, she runs off towards the "battlefield" and uses all kinds of methods (kicking, punching, biting, tripping, and occasionally some ninjutsu too) to take the different-coloured headbands from her opponents. At last, only Sasuke and Sakura are the ones left. And since they're on opposite teams, we get a final showdown between them. Not wanting to lose to Sasuke so easily, Sakura tries her hardest to win. Although she did end up losing to Sasuke at the end, it still took him quite some effort to literally wrestle the headband from Sakura. And it is this spirit of hers that makes Sasuke realize Sakura is different among the other fangirls. At the end, a beautiful friendship develops between the two as Sasuke finally takes notice of Sakura and awards her hard work by giving her his headband along with a smile. Wai, wai, wai! Otsukaresama, Sakura-chan!!!
