Summary: Sasuke left Sakura alone in Konoha, we all know that but what if he decided to fulfill a different dream instead? What would be the outcomes if Sakura had the same dream? What happens when they meet?
Disclaimer: I do not own any manga. If I really wanted to then I would get my friends and comic nap creators such as CLAMP and Naruto-guy-what's-his-name. Then, I would hold them for ransom for the ownership of their mangas. I also do not own any songs so far but if I get a recording contract, I'll be sure to tell you!
Five painful, lonely years had passed for Haruno Sakura. She had pursued her dreams of becoming a singer but her heart was still broken. I guess that's what made her songs so comprehendible...the well-known idea of loneliness. Sasuke was meant for her and he was always in her dreams… in her thoughts. She knew he was still alive, thriving somewhere in the world to stay on top. She never knew when she was going to see him again or how the fates would want them to collide. All she knew was that she supported him, every step of the way.
Their fate was decided to collide in harsh conditions. Harsh is a very vague concept though, and a harsh meeting would not be the worst of their troubles. There was the business about Itachi and Sasuke leaving Konoha, as well. Some may describe their confrontation as 'harsh' but I personally would use the word 'Oww'. That's how it began. Knowing how it ends isn't a necessary detail now but like all stories, this story will unwind to fulfill its purpose.
:CRASH: Two international pop stars had obviously crashed into each other. They were two teenagers, a girl and a boy (how convenient). "Please excuse me, I'm so sorry," the girl apologized while staring at the ground. "Hn…" was all that the boy replied. The girl's emerald eyes darted up to find familiar deep onyx eyes. Three familiar syllables lingered on the tip of the girl's tongue. "Sasuke-kun…" she mumbled while staring at the ground again. Either the boy ignored it or he didn't seem to hear her as he began to walk away from her.
Before he was a yard away from the girl there were squeals coming from at least a block away. "IT'S SHADOW'S REVENGE AND CRIMSON BLOSSOM!" screamed the fan girls and fan boys spotting their all time favorite pop stars. "GET THEM!" The boy known as 'Shadow's Revenge' glared at the girl. To many, it would be recognized as a cold, hard stare that could quiet down fan girls and make boys beg for mercy. To the girl who was named 'Crimson Blossom', it was hope. Shadow's Revenge briskly took Crimson Blossom's hand and ran. He didn't know where he was going or whom exactly this girl was but he ran to get away from the annoying fans that praised the both of them like gods. "How annoying…" he breathed as he turned the corner into an ally.
"Thank you, but who are you?" she asked when they finally lost the fans. The boy glared at her again, trying to find if there was some sort of joke in her words. How could she not know him? He was THE famous Shadow's Revenge, the hottest infamous singer known to girl or woman (and possibly some gay boys). "Uchiha Sasuke. You?" he monotonously said. "I'm Ha…Harikino Sera," the girl lied, believing it to be for the best. "Strange name for a 'crimson blossom' " Sasuke thought. "Well, I must go… It was a pleasure meeting you," Sera bellowed as she ran down the street to go to her apartment. "She reminds me of someone…" Sasuke said to no one in particular.
-------
Sakura fumbled with her keys trying to rush into her apartment. She found it, dropped it then tried to find it again. "Damn it," she whispered as she continued searching for the right key. She quickly found it again and opened her door. She went in and locked the door then slid down to the floor as she sighed. She didn't want to lie to him but he always seemed to hate Sakura. Sakura wasn't the same 12-year-old kunoichi fawning over the popular boy. She was 17 and rolled with all the punches that came her way. She had become successful in every aspect of her life… well, almost every aspect. Curves, complexion, money, independence, smarts, talent… she had it. Yet, she only would hang out with the boys from the original nine genin she had come from including Team Gai and she turned down every suitor. All of her friends would tell her to move on with her love life. They desperately tried to convince her that her so-called love was in vain. She refused to listen and believed that the boy, or man, she loved would return somehow someday.
--------
Sasuke jumped on the rooftops, trying to avoid all fan girls that might recognize him. He was famous after all… Konoha… What kind of village is that? Lost in thought, Sasuke absent-mindedly went to a bridge. He had been to many villages, performing his songs that reflected the life he had forgotten. Personally, he never knew where the lyrics came from. They were always just there in his head. Even when he had nothing for inspiration, there was always a song to write because the words just flashed in his head. Today, he wants to write a song as he leans on the rails of the wooden bridge. (A/N: The Team 7 meeting place bridge.) For some reason, he can't. A voice enters his head and screeches, "I will be lonely without you!" Why can't he write a song? Why can't he remember who and what he was?
(A/N: This next paragraph is completely random and has almost no importance to the story besides the fact that it introduces Naruto to the plot so you can skip it)

"Wow. Who knew that being Hokage can be boring?" exclaimed Uzumaki Naruto. He opens the windows to Tsunade's office and looks out to the village. "This is what it's all about! Having people who acknowledge me and each other!" he gleefully added. "Naruto-san," a voice said from outside the office. "Konohamaru! How many times do I have to tell you to not address me as –san? It makes me sound old and we're friends anyway!" said the hyperactive 17-year-old. He ran to the balcony and screams, "I AM ALMOST HOKAGE! BELIEVE IT!" Konohamaru sweat drops. "Old habits die hard, don't they?" Konohamaru says to himself.

Sakura flung herself on the couch in the living room. She took out her diary from under one of the cushions and began scanning it. A basic summary of some of the pages would look like this:
Page 1- I love Sasuke.
Page 13- I sat next to Sasuke in class today.
Page 20- Sasuke is on my team!
Page 21- Sasuke called me annoying…
Page 45- Sasuke saved me!
Disgusted with her own words after a while, Sakura flung her diary across the room and stopped it from breaking anything by throwing a kunai and pinning it to the dartboard that was conveniently there on one of the walls. Her friends were right, she needed to get on with her love life…
-------
Sasuke walked around Konoha some more taking shortcuts that he had somehow figured out even though he doesn't know anything about this place (or so he thinks). He found himself at a vacant mansion that had the symbol of a fan painted on some nearby walls. Red and white… the colors were so familiar to him…
-------
The next morning, Sakura received a call from her manager.
"Sakura, I just got you a gig!"
"You, Ino-pig, actually got me something to do? Tell me details!"
"Hey, watch it forehead-girl! I'm your manager and your best friend!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… So what's the plan?"
"You're gonna sing a duet with some other guy right here in Konoha!"
"Who…. is the guy?"
"Oh some weird guy who's known as 'Shadow's Revenge'. He'll never steal the show away from you though. You two are the most popular singers in the whole world! Isn't this so great?"
"…"
"Sakura?"
"…."
"Sakura?"
"…"
"DAMN IT, SAKURA! SAY SOMETHING!"
"I-I-I d-d-don't know if I… can do it, Ino-chan…"
"Why not?"
"'Cause I think he's Sasuke…"
"…"
"Ino?"
"You're not serious, are you?"
"…."
"I mean Sasuke went to find revenge on his brother… Why would he become a singer?"
"…"
"Right?"
"Well… he didn't seem to recognize me…"
"Then how do you know he's Sasuke?"
"They look exactly alike and he told me so."
"So… there's probably lots of people who want to look like me and get surgeries just to do it! When did you meet him anyway?"
"Yesterday, we bumped into each other and he gave me that cold stare."
"…"
"Ino?"
"I'll see you tomorrow at the Ramen shop, okay? I'm gonna do a little research."
"Okay, see ya!"
-------
"NARUTO!" "What do you want Ino?" replied an annoyed Naruto as he lazily sat in Tsunade's chair. "I need you to give me all the files on Sasuke!" "You, too? I'm not giving you files just so you can get Sasuke obsessed! Aren't you already dating Shikamaru?" "Shut up, you idiot! Sakura is having the problem with Sasuke and she thinks he has come back, so give me the damn files!" "The bastard has come back?" "I'M NOT SURE! THAT'S WHY I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME THE DAMN FILES NOW!" "You mean the files that are sitting right next to you in that big closet?" Ino turned to find a big closet (no, really?). She shakily reached out her hand to open one of the doors. Opening it, she found a room filled with many files. "Damn it…" she whispered and it echoed back in reply. This closet was practically Narnia itself! She was never going to finish finding the right files on Sasuke. She turned back to Naruto. "He's been gone for five years and you have all this on him?" "Well, there were a million newspaper articles on his family's death. I think they even had to make 1000 new newspapers in order to publish them all. "Shit…" Ino whispered as she tried to come up with a plan that would help her finish finding the info she needed by tomorrow.

Sasuke's Flashback from Yesterday:
Sasuke approached the house cautiously. He knocked gently on the door and it creaked open in response. The silence beckoned to him and after he traveled to a certain room, he thought he heard 'Welcome home, Uchiha Sasuke.'
A/N: I've had this whole thing for so long and I kept debating if I should change it. I finally decided that I didn't write this much just to see it go to waste so here's a whole new story for you people. Enjoy and please review.
