Why is it when my heart is on the verge of finding happiness it just ends up being torn away?

The pink hair girl thought as she hugged her knees to her chest. She remembered when she was little and would always wish that boys would try to win her heart, swoon her with chocolates and gifts galore, but I mean isn't that what any girl dreamed of?

She laughed a small giggle

But now it seemed ironic that her childhood dream had actually come true. She had two gorgeous guys, an artist and an avenger, fighting over her, trying to win her affection, and become the happiness that her heart so desperately needed.

Her smile vanished as quickly as it appeared

So then why wasn't she happy? Why wasn't the smile that graced her face years ago there today?

'you know at least Sai told you about what they were doing. I mean hello compared to Sasuke he would have probably…not probably would have lied to you from day one.'

Sakura frowned,' I appreciate Sai for doing what he did I really do, but the truth hurts'

'Yeah that tends to do that, but would you rather have gone on through life oblivious, or would you rather face the hurt now?'

She lifted an eyebrow at her inner self, ' I guess you're right' her inner self threw a fist in the air

'Damn right I'm right! Sai has more balls than Sasuke will ever have. I would love to see that boy pull an artistic masterpiece out of his ass. '

"Sakura"

'Oh look who decides to show up now.'

Sakura inhaled a deep breath and shut her eyes trying to break away from the tears that threatened to spill. Hoping that the voice she just heard was an illusion. She could feel him sit next to her. He pulled her chin from under it's protective position and made her green orbs stare into his onyx ones.

"Why are you all by yourself?" he asked smoothly not letting go of her chin. Her heart fluttered with joy that he was this close to her.

'Why do I still feel these same feelings like I used t…no I must not get off topic.Remember Sakura, Sasuke and Sai aren't on your good side right now.'

The pink haired girl brushed his hands off her face making Sasuke surprised at her sudden action.

"Cut the small talk Sasuke, I already know about your little bet with Sai. So stop messing with my feelings and leave." She said trying to be apathetic that he really close to her.

"Who said I was messing with you're feelings?" he said as he scooted closer to her.

'our arms are touching!!!!' Sakura squealed in delight trying to keep her emotions under wraps.

"You know you are bad at hiding your emotions" Sasuke whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine. "Come on. Let's go and grab something to eat, my treat" he finished intertwining his fingers with hers causing Sakura to blush a light shade of red.

'What do you think you're doing? Remember the game Sakura the game!' Sakura's inner self yelled at her. Sakura shook her head out of her daze and immediately let go of Sasuke's hand.

"No, I'm not hungry." She said.

Sasuke began to feel a bit agitated at her resistance 'Damn it, forget about that winy replacement already.' he thought.

"Forget about him already Sakura and go out with me tonight. I promise I'm much dif-"

"What is up with you?" Sakura yelled cutting Sasuke off, "Is it funny for you to fight over a girl who is trying to get rid of you?"

"Saku-"

"Don't even say my name Sasuke" she said sternly. The onyx haired boy looked at 'his' cherry blossom confused. He tried to extend his hand and touch her shoulder but she pulled back.

"Do you think I'm some prize to be won over? Am I a doll all of a sudden? I have feelings Sasuke, so stop trying to act like you care when you really don't."

"Who ever said that I didn't care?" he asked

Frustraited Sakura let out a long angered sigh and looked directly at him. He could see the fire burning in her emerald eyes.

"I pretty much wasted my life over you. If you didn't care about me then, it's pretty damn obvious that you don't care now!" she yelled

Sasuke began to grow agitated that he was under trial and not that damn replacement. I mean if it wasn't for him in the first place then they wouldn't have to be in this situation.

"Why are you letting all you're anger out on me? Sai's involved too if you haven't remembered" he yelled back

Sakura glared at him, "At least Sai had the guts to tell me about it. What were you waiting for?" she retorted, " I swear Sasuke you love to cause me pain. Just when I'm trying to get better you come and ruin everything" She yelledas she turned on her heels and hastily walked off. Sasuke stared at the back of her head and clenched his fist in fury.

'You bastard Sai'

Well I hope that you like it. It's pretty short I know. Please review if you would like
