A/N: Okay guys I am going to mix songs into the story like you know how on movies there is always background music well that's sort of what im gonna attempt to do. It may not be very good by hell it's worth a shot right? If you have the song it would probably be more fun to listen to it while you read but for those who don't have these songs im gonna write the lyrics in the story. I thought that this first song was better if you didn't listen to the music while you read it but if you do don't read the italics/bold/colored because that's just the lyrics. By the way bold is inner self italics is thinking and bold/italics/colored is lyrics. So here I go make sure to r&r! I need to know how bad this sucks. But if you are going to tell me it really sucks try and be polite about it. Through in some please and thank yours in your flames okay.
Ch.1
Without you
It had been three years since Sasuke Uchiha had left Konoha. Sakura, forced by Ino, started dating Neji and slowly began to like him. She unfortunately, however, still has dreams about a certain raven haired bastard.
"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed as she woke up from yet another nightmare about the bastard.
Sakura slowly turns her head and looks at the digital clock on the side of her bed. It read 5:15.
"Ahhhhh! Not again. I'm going to be late again. How am I supposed to get ready in fifteen minutes? Sasuke Uchiha, I'm going to kill you, you distracting teme!" Sakura screamed jumping out of bed. (If you have the song clumsy by fergie now would be a good time to put it on. Go ahead I'll wait… Five minutes later. Okay I'm done waiting for you slow ppl.)
She can't help it. The girl can't help it. (Oh baby
Sakura jumps out of bed and runs past the pic of squad seven.)
She can't help it. The girl can't help it. (Oh baby) She can't help it
(Sakura is throwing clothes out of her drawer and all around her room.
The first time that I saw your eyes Boy you looked right threw me umm ummm.
(Sakura freaks out and screams "where is it?" still looking through all of her clothes.)
Played it cool but I knew you knew, that cupid hit me mm mmm.
(Sakura throws her head back and scream "I give up I will have to find it later.)
You got me trippin, stumblin, flippin, fumblin,
(Sakura jumps up and heads to the bathroom door but trips on her way there.)
Clumsy cause im fallin in love (in love)
(Sakura rubs her head and stands up. She runs into the bathroom.)
You got me trippin, stumbling, flippin, fumbling,
(Sakura trips on a wire that was connected her blow drier to an electrical outlet and hits the ground with a thud.) Clumsy cause im fallin in love (in love) so in love with you.
(Sakura gets up and throws her fist in the air and stomps her over to the bath tub/ shower.
She can't help it the girl cant help it (oh baby).
(Sakura sticks her head past the shower curtain and leans over the tub to turn the water on.)
She cant help it. The girl can't help it. (Oh no)
(Sakura reaches for the knob and grabs hold of it.)
She cant help it the girl cant help it (no how)(She turns the knob and the shower turns on spraying water all over her head and arms.)
She can't help it.
Can't breathe when you touch my sleeve. Butterflies so crazy umm ummm.
(Sakura furiously takes off her sleeping gown and throws it at the ground.)
Whoa now think im goin down?
(Sakura marches off into the shower and slips on the wet floor of the tub the moment she steps in.)
Friends don't know what's with me umm ummm.
(Sakura pulls herself up.)
You got me trippin, stumbling, flippin, fumblin.
(Sakura grabs the soap and it slips out of her hand. Her other hand goes to catch it but it falls out of that one too.)
Clumsy cause im fallin in love. (In love) So in love with you…
(Sakura washes herself with the soap and throws it onto the tub floor.)
She can't help it. The girl can't help it. (Oh no)
(Sakura grabs the shampoo bottle which was open and it squirts everywhere.)
She can't help it. The girl can't help it. (Oh please) (Sakura squirts the shampoo into her palm and lathers her hair.)
She can't help it the girl cant help it. (No no)
(She rinses the shampoo out of her hair but a lot of it gets in her eyes. She then screams and washes it out.)
The girl can't help it.
You know this aint the first time this has happened to me (Sakura takes a step out of the shower.)
This love sick thing.
(She brings her other foot out of the tub and grabs the towel she had sitting on the closed towel seat waiting for her.)
I like serious relationships and uh
(Sakura flips her hair and dries it out with the towel as fast as she can. Mumbling about pulling her hair to hard.)
A girl like me don't stay single for long
(Sakura's cell phone rings and Sakura wraps the towel around her and look at the text message she just received from Ino.)
Cause every time a boyfriend and I break up my world is crushed and im all alone.
(Sakura reads the message and turns red.)
The love bug comes right back and bites me.(Sakura drops her opened phone and you can see what the message says. "Sakura im at the hospital and Neji is standing right outside of your office with flowers. Hurry up and get here.)
And im back.
She can't help it the girl cant help it. (In love)
(Sakura brushes her teeth and rinses.)
She can't help it the girl cant help it. (Oh god)
(Sakura throws her hair in a messy ponytail and washes her face.)
She can't help it the girl cant help it. (Im back in love.)(Sakura finds the dress she was looking for earlier and throws it on.)
Girl can't help it. Whooo hooo. She can't help it the girl cant help it. (I'm back in love yeah.)
(She runs out of the bathroom and puts her shoes on and runs out of the door.)
She can't help it the girl cant help it. (I'm back in love yeah baby.)
(Sakura runs down the streets of Konoha.)
She can't help it. The girl can't help it. (I'm back in love, yeah)
(Sakura turns a corner running into a cart selling stuffed animals. She knocks it over but just gets up and runs toward the hospital yelling sorry.)
You got me trippin, stumbling, flippin, fumbling.
(Sakura runs into the hospital doors knocking over a lady holding tons of paperwork. She gets up and keeps running shouting sorry as she heads towards the stairs.)
Clumsy cuz im fallin in love.
(Of course Sakura starts running up the stairs and trips.)
You got me trippin, stumbling, flippin, fumbling.
(Sakura gets up and runs up the stairs she turns the corner and runs into Neji knocking both of them to the ground. Not to mention the arrangement of cherry blossoms Neji was carrying.)
Clumsy cuz im fallin in love. So in love with you…
(The music fades as Sakura turns tomato red.)
"Neji-san!" Sakura squeaked. "Im so sorry. I was just in a rush and…" Sakura let the words tumble out of her mouth.
Neji just smiled. "I could tell you were in a rush I didn't even see you with my Byakugan. But then again I was day dreaming so I guess part of this is my fault. Why were you in a rush Sakura-chan?" Neji asked pulling Sakura up off of the ground.
They both stood now. Neji still had Sakura's hand in his. Sakura blushed ten shades of red before she managed to say something.
"Well…you see. I was…uh…" Tsunade's voice interrupted Sakura from embarrassing her self.
"Sakura you are ten minutes late!" Tsunade yelled.
Sakura turned back to Neji. "Late. That's it. You see I was late. And," Sakura said turning toward Tsunade, "it will never happen again." Sakura finished.
"That's what you said last time. Sakura if you're really serious about training and getting stronger see me in my office in five minutes." Tsunade yelled stomping away, probably back to her own office to drink some sake.
"I guess I should go now?" Neji said finally releasing Sakura's hand.
"Wait Neji!" Sakura called grabbing his arm. "Was there something you wanted to ask me? I mean I'm sure you didn't bring those beautiful flowers here as a just-to-say-hi present right?" Sakura asked.
Neji turned himself around to face Sakura. "Uh yeah I was going to ask you if you would like to get dinner with me." Neji said with a microscopic blush coming to his cheeks.
"I would love to Neji-san. What time should I be ready for?" Sakura smiled and tried to look cute.
Neji smiled back at her. "What about five?" He said. Sakura nodded. Her shift ended at two so it would be plenty enough time to get ready after work.
"That's great, see you then." Sakura said cheerfully as Neji nodded and walked down the stairs. Sakura was blushing madly now but then she remembered Tsunade.
"Oh crap." Sakura said as she ran towards Tsunade's office.
She threw the doors open only to find Tsunade asleep with a bottle of sake in her hand. Sakura was smarter then to wake her sensei up, especially if she was drunk.
Sakura just sighed and let herself plop down into the chair in front of Tsunade's desk. She would just have to sit here and wait.
Sakura wasn't pleased to realize that her thoughts were wondering to Sasuke (if you have here without you by 3 doors down put that on NOW! During the song I will talk about Sasuke and Sakura so don't get confused im just letting you know what both of em r doin)
A hundred days had made me older. Since the last time that I've saw your pretty face.
(Sasuke is sitting on his bed and a picture of a smiling twelve year old fangirl with pink hair pops into his head.)
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same.
(Sasuke remembers Sakura when she was a little girl and he smirks. Sakura remembers Sasuke pushing her away when she tried to hug him and smiles.)
But all the miles had separate
(Sakura remembers finding out Sasuke was going with Orochimaru. Sasuke remembers deciding to go to Orochimaru and laying the old pic of squad seven face down.)
They disappear now when im dreaming of your face.
(Sakura remembers the last time she saw Sasuke's face and a tear runs down her cheek. Sasuke remembers the last time he saw Sakura crying and begging him to stay and he frowns.)
I'm here without you baby
(Sasuke remembers when he told Sakura thank you and knocked her out.)
But you're still on my lonely mind.
(Sasuke thinks about seeing Sakura unconscious on the bench as he walked away.)
I think about you baby,
(Sakura remembers waking up unconscious and screaming Sasuke's name.)
And I dream about you all the time.
(Sakura remembers waking up that morning and calling out Sasuke's name.)
I'm here without you baby,
(Sakura remembers how Sasuke called her annoying)
But you're still with me in my dreams.
(Sakura remembers a short dream she had about her and Sasuke hugging each other and smiling. Sasuke remembers a dream he had about hugging her while standing over the dead body of his brother.)
And tonight it's only you and me.
(Sakura breaks down as more tears come and she buries her head in her hands. Sasuke looks like he just realized something and then he smirks.)
The miles just keep rollin
As the people either way to say hello.
(Sasuke stands up and puts on his shirt. Sakura brings her knees up to her chest and rest her head on her knees.)
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope it gets better as we go.
(Sasuke grabs his katana. Sakura finally stops crying and looks up out of the window.)
I'm here without you baby
(Sakura remembers how Sasuke used to smirk.)
But you're still on my lonely mind
(Sakura pictures Sasuke smiling for the very first time and smiles herself.)
I think about you baby
(Sasuke think of a crying Sakura and tightens his grip on his katana)
And I dream about you all the time
(Sasuke grabs the door knob with an iron grip.)
Um here without you baby
(Sakura looks surprised and thinks about Neji bringing her flowers)
But you're still with me in my dreams
(Sakura thinks about Sasuke killing his brother and her being with Neji. She smiles in realization.)
And tonight girl it's only you and me.
(Sasuke swings the door open and walks into an empty hall.)
Everything I know,
And anywhere I go
(Sakura thinks about Sasuke leaving her)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
(Sakura imagines Neji hugging her and smiling at her.)
And when the last one falls
(Sasuke thinks about killing all of the sound Nin)
When it's all said and done.
(Sasuke thinks about killing Orochimaru)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
(Sasuke thinks about killing his brother and then about being with Sakura again.)
I'm here with out you baby,
(Sasuke thinks about hugging Sakura and holding her close)
But you're still on my lonely mind
(Sakura thinks about Sasuke coming back home and finding a girlfriend and starting his clan again.)
I think about you baby
(Sasuke thinks about Sakura hugging him and professing her love and walks out of the sound lair.)
And I dream about you all the time,
(Sasuke comes to a halt as he thinks of Sakura running into his arms when he gets to Konoha and he smirks something close to a smile.)
I'm here without you baby
(Sakura wipes away a stray tear as Tsunade opens her eyes.)
But you're still with me in my dreams.
(Sasuke jumps off into the trees heading for Konoha)
And tonight girl it only you and me.
(Sakura mumbles shakily as she realizes Tsunade is awake. The music fades away.)
"Tsunade-baah-chan, you're awake." Sakura mumbles shakily.
"Sakura…If you need to talk I can listen." Tsunade says worried about her apprentice.
"Actually, Tsunade I think im crying because im happy." Sakura says starting to cry again. Tsunade looks at her confused and Sakura continues.
"I was sad because I was thinking about how he left me again. And then I realized something. I'm sitting here, a full grown ninja, second best in her village, crying about a silly little boy who was too stupid to realize how strong his friends made him. Neji asked me out just a little while ago and instead of being happy such a wonderful person likes me I'm sitting here crying over a stupid, weak little boy who left me years ago. That's when I figured it out. He's holding me back and I'm letting him. I am letting him pull me down. If I just forgot about him and moved on I would find happiness and strength. So that's what im going o do. I'm going to move on." Sakura said ending her sobbing and smiling at her teacher.
"Sakura, I'm proud of you." Tsunade said first a little amazed and then happy. "But you are still in big trouble. I want you to do all of my paperwork for me." Tsunade said smiling.
"Good one Tsunade-baah-chan." Sakura said laughing.
"I'm not joking, Sakura." Tsunade said getting serious.
"Nani?! You can't do that!" Sakura screamed.
"I'm the Hokage I can do whatever I want. Now get to work." Tsunade ordered handing Sakura tons of paperwork.
Sasuke's P.O.V
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Maybe I shouldn't.
I can't help it though I need to see her even if she says no I need to at least try.
She won't say no she loves me. She told me so herself.
But still…
