Pairings: So far just LeeSaku. Might be more later on.

Warnings: This has drug abuse in it! If you don't like that then hit the back button.

This takes place when Sakure and all the rest of her peers are eighteen years old.

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, I'd make Kakashi my personal slave, but seeing how I don't, I'm currently Kakashi-Slaveless.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tears stream mercilessly down my face. My heart feels nothing but void.

'I had actually trusted him. I loved him and to see him turn around and... and kiss Ino. Out of all the girls in the village why did it have to be her?' I thought to myself. My sobs grow more and more uncontrollable with every minute that goes by. Bringing my knees up to my chest, I wrap my arms around them, as if to put up a barrier and protect my heart from any more pain. Looking at the soft colors of the quilt that I am currently curled up on, I cry even harder.

'How many nights had we made out on this bed? How many times had he told me that he loved me? To think it all took place right here.' Immediately after thinking this, my heart feels a tug of pain and I begin another outburst of tears, burying my face in my knees. I didn't hear the door to my room open. Nor did I feel the added weight on my bed. I did feel a hand rest on my back though, as if trying to comfort me. My tears immediately stopped as my body froze. I lift my head up and look towards my comforter. This however cause another outburst of tears when I saw that it was...him.

"Sakura..." He begins softly. "I don't know what happened. I'm sorry! I love you and you know that..."

"Well you sure have spectacular ways of showing it!" I spat out at him before burying my face back into my knees. I then felt his hand leave my back and his body shift in front of me on the bed.

"Will you ever forgive me? Please Sakura-chan! I really do love you!" I heard the added touch of desperation to his voice.

"You are just like Sasuke-kun." I mutter more to myself than to him. "I'm only good when I'm convenient. The rest of the time I'm just an annoying mosquito that doesn't go away."

"First of all you are not a mosquito, you're a human being, and a very beautiful one." This earned a snort of disbelief from me when I heard this.

"Second, don't you ever think that I believe you to be convenient. I know that lately I haven't been too appreciative over you but I've just been stressed out. I've made a huge mistake and I know that. I just hope that you'll forgive me and..."

"ENOUGH!" I yelled, snapping my head up to face him. "I CAN'T EVEN STAND LOOKING AT YOU! EVERYTIME I DO I GET THAT IMAGE OF YOU AND... HER... KISSING! JUST GO AWAY!"

He looked me deeply in the eyes. I was slightly taken by surprise to see that his eyes were actually glassy. He then breaks the eye contact and sighs.

"Yeah, I guess I'm the last person that you want too see right now. I just had to tell you though." He says to me softly, running his hand through his hair. I watched as he got up off the bed and walked towards the door, pausing to look at me, and then walks out of my sight. This caused another grand outburst of tears. This one the worst of them all.

Laying down on my bed I tried to make myself fall asleep, which is a hard task to do while you're crying. Finally drifting off to dreamland I mutter his name, hoping that if I say it he'll come back and tell me that it was all just a bad dream.

"Rock Lee."

When I woke up that morning, I was determined to shrug off this feeling of pain in my heart. I wanted to show everyone how strong I was and how I could handle this situation. Also I didn't want Naruto trying to cheer me up by looking like an idiot. I can feel a small smile going across my face at the thought.

'Maybe I could convince him to beat Lee up' I think to myself but then I immediately frown. 'No, I couldn't do that to Lee. He may have hurt me but I still love him. When I forgive him, though. I don't know.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Upon arriving at the assigned meeting spot, I was surprised to see that I was the first one there.

'Sasuke-kun is usually early and Naruto arrives when I do. I'm an hour late, so where are those two?' I wondered. Three hours later I started growing worried.

'Naruto and Sasuke-kun are NEVER this late, not even Kakashi-sensei. Practice must have gotten cancelled then otherwise they would have been here by now.'

Sighing to myself I mentally add 'I don't think I want to go home quite yet. May as well go for some Ramen. I deserve something good after all the hell I've been through, right?'

As I walk off the bridge, I had a sudden gut feeling that if I thought yesterday was bad, today was going to be a lot worse!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Was I ever right! There was my team sitting in the ramen shop eating and talking like nothing had ever happened. Walking up, right behind them I stand there contemplating whether I should bash their heads in or just yell at them for forgetting me.

"AHEM!" I watched as all three heads turned around at the sound of me clearing my throat.

"Hello Sakura-chan!" Naurto said cheerfully with a smile. Kakashi just sat there with his eye crinkled up happily while Sasuke sat there, does he show any other emotion besides bored, hate, and annoyance?

"Don't HELLO SAKURA-CHAN me! I waited at that bridge for three hours. You guys didn't even have the decency to show up and tell me there was no practice today! What the hell is it!?!? Piss Sakura off beyond belief week! ARAGH!" I ranted, throwing my hands up in the air while I turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

I didn't hear Kakashi-sensei ask Naruto and Sasuke-kun, "Didn't I say that there was no practice today, during yesterday's practice?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I seriously felt depressed. Lee betrayed me for my own best friend. Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke are clearly trying to avoid me by making me sit and wait at the bridge for them when they are not even going to come. What else could possibly happen?

I should not have said that. I should have known by now that that question is the worst question to ask whenever you don't want something bad to get worse. What I saw when I turned the corner was Lee talking to Ino. I could feel my heart start beating hard suddenly, full of hate and betrayal. I did what I thought was best. I ran. I didn't really feel like yelling or crying anymore. I just wanted to feel happier again!

I didn't know where I was. I just let my feet carry me away from there and now, I'm here, in this shabby part of the village. That was where I saw them. A tall young brunette boy and three girls beside him, two of the girls had long blonde hair while the shorter girl had spiked black hair.

The girl with the spiked black hair sneered at me and said, "What the hell do you want?"

I was speechless, I didn't even know where I was. What was I to say? Thankfully the boy spoke up.

"You look like you've had it rough." He said to me, nodding his head in my direction as if to point out that my hair was messy, my cheeks were tear stained, and my clothes were disheveled. Still unsure of what to say I nodded my head.

The girls exchanged glances while the boy just smiled. He walked over to me and when he was only two feet away from me he stopped. He then pulled out a plastic zip-lock bag full of green pills. This caused me to raise my eyebrow at him curiously. He then shoved them into my hands which caused Inner Sakura to panic, although I didn't show it.

"Keep them. They'll make you feel a lot better if you use them. Think of it as a gift. If you want more you know where to find me." He said, winking at me and then turning his back towards me.

Inner Sakura felt like she was about to have a heart attack, she did NOT want these pills. In fact, she wanted to take the pills and shove it down his throat. I just nodded towards him again and walked away, hiding the pills from sight in my hands.

Seeing my house come to view in the distance, I sped up my walk until I was running. I bolted inside my house, ignoring both my mother and fathers quizzical looks from the TV room. Upon entering my room, I threw the zip-lock bag under my bed, making sure my blankets covered it.

'Phew!' Both Inner Sakura and myself said while I sat down on my bed.

'What the hell was that all about? Those were some freaky guys!' I thought to myself. Lying down on my bed, I gazed up at the ceiling, allowing my mind to wander from the pills, to Lee, and to my team members. My eye lids were becoming harder and harder to keep open due to lack of sleep and an excess amount of crying. All I could do was close my eyes and hope that today was just a bad dream that I need to wake up from.

I just ADORE LeeSaku and ShikaIno pairings but I've only found a few bits of fan art about them T_T. If anyone knows a web site that has some fan art about any of those pairings PLEASE email it to me! Pretty Pretty Please! If you do I'll give you............ *looks around frantically for stuff to give away* A BOX! *Peers into box*....A box with my cat in it....... -_-

I'm going to try my hardest to update this fic once or twice a week. I'm usually extremely busy one day and the next, I'll be bored out of my mind. Moving to a different country is a pain in the butt but should be worth it in the end ^_^
