And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.

Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.

May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

[chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down.

[bridge]
All that's made me (made me)
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go (will let go)
all that I know (that I know)
knowing that you're here with me.

For your love is changing me.

[chorus]
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you.
May I be your shield.
when no one can be found
may I lay you down

Pink hair flew softly in the wind, as the young women stood outside, gazing at the moon. Thinking to herself, it's been five years. Seven years since the day he left. Since the day my heart fell into pieces. Why did life have to go so horribly wrong for her? She didn't do nothing wrong to anyone. She helps people, she's kind, she loves. So why can't she be loved by the one person who can repair her broken heart?

Why did everybody but her get what she wanted? Why did she have to pretend to be happy? Why did he have to be gone?

Silently watching the moon, Sakura sighed, as a crying feeling overcame her. She wanted to cry, but she wouldn't. " You broke me. Destroyed me." Sakura whispers silently, raising her head to stare at the moon once more. " But even so, Sasuke, I can't not love you. Why is that?" Talking to herself now, people probably thought she is metal. Insane. Which she even believes herself anymore.

" Are you ever going to return to your home? Naruto-Sama wont punish you to badly. I mean you are like his brother. He could never hurt you. But I guess you could, couldn't you? You have hurt us more then we let on."

It bothered her, why couldn't she hate him? Why couldn't she despise him? Because you love him. She really does love him, doesn't she? She loves him enough that she could never hate him. But why couldn't he love her? Was she that annoying to him? Or was it because she is weak? Did he fall for that red haired girl that Sakura saved. No because he would have returned to the village then, now wouldn't he? Since Karin is in the village. Karin's a respected Kahona ninja, a chunin. So why won the return?

Because Itachi worked for Kahona and destroyed the Uchiha clan.

Of coarse, he wants revenge. That's all he ever wants. But what about Sakura? Doesn't she get a happy ending? She was forced to watch all of her friends get theirs.

Naruto became hokage at the age of seventeen, married Hinata at the age of eighteen, and now their about to have there first baby soon.

Ino is now married to Sai, every since five months ago, she's also seven months pregnant. Sai is Anbu now, and he owns his own art school. Ino now fully works at the Flower shop.

Shikamaru married to beautiful Temari of Suna, even know they fight a lot, you can tell there completely in love. Shikamaru and Temari are both Kahona Jonin, and they visit Suna every two weeks.

Neji married Tenten, and both are Anbu ninjas.

Choji owns a restaurant, and is Jonin, While Kiba is with Karin, not married as of yet, but there together.

Shino is even with someone, Hana, Kiba's older sister.

So why doesn't Sakura get to be happy?

Because you fell in love with the enemy. Unrequited love.

Forcing her gaze off the gorgeous moon, Sakura turned to leave, the wind making a cold chill run up her spine.

I just want to keep you safe. Hold you always. To see you actually smile, to watch you be happy. Sasuke, why can't you give me that opportunity? Why can't you give me the opportunity to be by your side, if not forever, then for a little while. Why? Why can't you?

Her soft footsteps leaving prints in the snow, as she walk slowly home. She doesn't want to go home. She doesn't want to be alone.

Is it bad to wish for someone to hold you tight? Well that's her wish. She wants to feel loved, and be able to give that certain Uchiha as much as she can offer. And she can offer every bit of herself to him. She would give him anything, as long as he asked for it.

I'm pathetic.

I can't get over you.

Why?

Opening the brown door to her small apartment, she cried. Not for Sasuke, for herself…

In a different part of Kahona, the Hokage frowned.

" I didn't expect to ever see you here again. Why'd you come back now, after all these years?" Naruto asked, his blue eyes showing pain, as his wife, Hinata stood in the door way, smiling softly, cradling her swollen stomach.

" I figured, I couldn't stay away for ever, now could I?" Was the sarcastic reply on the tall male standing there, arms crossed, a smirked on his beautiful face.

Then suddenly the Hokage smiled, widely. " Well Teme, lets see what kind of punishment I will give you, shall we?"

"Hn."

" Ah, c'mon Sasuke-Teme you've been gone a long time, you at least deserve punishment, don't you?" Naruto asked laughing, loudly.

" Naruto-sama, I'm very sorry to disturbed you, but-" The shy Hinata tried to talk to her husband, but he busted out, " Hinata-Chan what are you doing here? It's late!" Sighing to herself she walked over to Naruto's desk, glancing at the Uchiha.

Sasuke glanced at the young women, noticing she's pregnant, and she has the same wedding ring as the Dobe had on. Smirking to himself he watched the blond interact with the young women. Life in Kahona is going to be fun.

Around five in the morning the young medic, showered, brushed her teeth, got dressed for work, and stepped out of her lonely apartment.

Watching children run and play, Sakura took notice that they have no worries at all. Not one. Either do the clouds. Oh, how she wish she was one. To be able to float in the sky, with no worries.

But alas Sakura's life could never be so peaceful, could it? No never. As that is said, a Anbu popped up right in front of Sakura. Sakura frowned, a knowing feeling washed through her. She knew that she was going to be late for work. Again.

" Sakura-Chan, sorry but Naruto-Sama wants to speak with you." Tenten's voice says to her, Sakura nods her head, and turns toward the Hokages office. Suddenly wishing she would have brought Tylenol, because knowing Naruto, he's going to give her one hell of a head ache.

Walking into the Hokages office, Sakura spotted Hinata seating down in a comfy looking seat, drinking what looks like a smoothie, and Naruto in his Hokage seat, babbling on to Hinata, or to himself. Hinata spotted her first, and she smiled, and waved shyly. " Hello Sakura-Chan you look lovely today." Hinata said politely like always. " You look well also." Sakura says, smiling at Hinata, as Hinata blushes slightly, maybe because memories pop back into her head? Who knows?

" Sakura-Chan you made it right on time! There's a first time for everything!" Naruto says, laughing crazily. Sakura frowns, looking out the window. " I'm going to be late for work. So hurry up." Sakura hisses out. Naruto flinches, knowing how bad his Pink haired friends temper is. " That's no way to talk to your Hokage." Kakashi says, popping up right next to Sakura. All Sakura does his roll her emerald eyes. " Well I guess reading porn in front of a pregnant women in off limits to then." Sakura says, snatching Kakashi's Ichi Ichi paradise book from him, and tossing in out the window. Kakashi screams loudly, then glares at Sakura.

" How could you do that to me? I thought you loved me like a father?" Kakashi chibi cried, pointing accusingly at Sakura. Sakura only shrugged. " Love doesn't equal porn." Naruto snickered, but coughed to gain Sakura's attention.

Glaring at the annoying Hokage, Sakura then felt another person presence. Her eyes widened for a moment, but then she regained her composure. " Naruto-Sama I really don't want to be late for work, so may I please be excused from this pointless meeting." Sakura asked sweetly, preying Naruto would let her. He didn't say anything, so she turned around stepping toward the door.

" Wait! Sakura-Chan , Sasu-" " Do you think I care if Sasuke is back or not?" Sakura says interrupting Naruto. Her eyes closed shut.

Naruto's eyes widen, as he whispered Sakura's name. Sakura keep her eyes closed, she didn't want to cry. So she wouldn't, at least not here, not now.

" I'll take my leave now." She says, opening her sad emerald eyes, glancing over to the dark corner where to Sasuke Uchiha stood, leaning against the wall, staring at her, frowning. Walking out, she slammed the door shut, leaning against it, burying her head into her heads, as on tear slipped down her face.

" What's wrong with her Kakashi?" Sakura heard Naruto ask through the door. Kakashi doesn't say anything, but everyone except Sasuke and Naruto is thinking, He's broke her heart so much that theirs nothing left.

Standing up straight, Sakura wiped the tear off her face, and started walking toward the hospital. Wanting nothing more then to turn around and run into Sasuke's arms. But Sakura knows that Sasuke would only push her away even more. So why should she try? She shouldn't should she?

Back in the Hokages office a certain Uchiha was frowning at how the pink haired female reacted. " She's sure changed." Sasuke mumbled, but the others heard him, and nodded in agreement. But somewhere in Sasuke's heart he wanted Sakura to start crying and run to him. Now why would he want that?

I was thinking of just stopping it. But I'll let you tell me if I should finish this fic.
