Hero/Heroine

She was going home. Probably for good. There were a lot of important feudal lords, and the Sand needed the money. There was no way to stop this. Shikamaru leaned against a wall and stared up at a passing cloud.

It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you

Sakura… Sasuke paced around his small bedroom in the main Sound base. She had infected him. He missed Konoha, missed Team 7, missed Sakura. If he went back to the village, what would have changed? Sasuke smirked at the possibilities.

Had Naruto finally grown a brain? Did Neji marry TenTen? What about that blonde bimbo; how had she turned out? Sasuke kicked the wall (which broke) and rubbed his temples. They don't matter, not anymore.
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

Neji breathed hard, staring down at TenTen. She looked up at him hopefully. "Well, Neji?" she chirped. "Is there such a thing as hope? Even for people like you and me?"
I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

Shikamaru slumped on his wall. He remembered the first time he lost in Shougi. She kicked his ass, but it was still close. It was worth all of the gloating that came later. She wouldn't stop laughing. Did she ever have to stop?
And I feel this weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
