DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of Kishimoto's characters. I do not own the song.


Once again I find myself struck with some sort of inspiration that has nothing to do with the story that I have already started! But nevertheless, I can't stop thinking of this and it's driving me crazy. It's like I must get this out of me. Lol.

I don't know what it is about this CD, but it gives me ideas. Either that or I read something on the fan fiction site and then heard a song and it applied to the characters of the last story. The last story that I read before hearing this song was The Contentious Heart by elle6778. The pairing is Sakura and Itachi… if you haven't read it, I suggest you so. Any of elle6778's stories are worth reading. J

Okay so the song is called Self Inflicted by Katy Perry. As in the last story that I wrote that was inspired by one of her songs, I give you the lyrics…

Remember when I dove into the crowd
And I got a bloody knee under my skin,
a mark from wiping out
It brings back the memories
Every bone's been broken
But my heart is still wide open

I can't stop Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

With each scar there's a map that tells a story
what a souvenir of
Young love's
like jumping out An airplane riding a tidal wave
on an ocean of emotion My heart rips me wide open

I can't stop Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

And I cover up these scars (We'll make it we'll make it but we break it)
And I can't stop seeing stars(lets hope not die)
Whenever you're around Around

I can't stop Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
oohhh you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted to

This is the first Sakura & Itachi story that I have written. I really hope that it's up to par with all those who like this pairing. I must admit it wasn't one that I originally thought I would like but I have come to really like it.

Enjoy.
