The Result of an Ipod Mix-up
Hey guys!!! So I'm extremely ECSTATIC because I got this amazing idea when I was listening The Last Night by Skillet (AMAZING song. Seriously listen to it). And when it got to the chorus I was like, "Hey…this sounds like something Sasuke would listen to…because it sounds like him" and BAM story idea!!! ^^
But of course, I had to add to it and thought, "I wonder what Sakura would listen to…"
So this is a random story idea I decided to come up with 10 minutes ago. It's a compilation of songs that I found/have. And if you haven't heard of these bands or songs PLEASE SEARCH AND LISTEN TO THEM!
Sasuke's songs are in bold and italics
Sakura's songs are in italics

Clink!
"Sasuke-kun," panted a pink haired girl as she clashed with a raven haired boy.
But not just any ordinary raven haired boy.
Clang!
This was the raven haired boy.
Schhing!!
"Ah!" yelped the rosette as she skidded backwards, against a tree. As her back rubbed painfully against the chards of bark her emerald eyes poured deeply into his crimson ones with fierce determination.
"You can't beat me, Sakura." He murmured as his weapon pressed her deeper into the cold bark. A bitter sneer curled at her lips as her ears registered these words. "No, I can't. But that doesn't mean I won't try!" she yelled.
With a sudden burst of strength, she shoved the long sword away from her chest and swiped her kunai at his neck.
He dodged it with ease. But as he opened his mouth to mock her, the pinkette punched the ground below him. The earth formed an enormous crater; causing projectile pieces of earth and dirt to shoot from where the raven haired boy had stood moments before.
When the dust of the blast had disappeared, emerald eyes scanned the area. Nowhere in sight could the raven haired found. But her eyes widened when she felt a presence behind stir.
As if moving in slow motion, the pinkette was just able to block his sword from slicing her in half. As she was thrown back, she skidded across the ground several feet from the crimson eyed man.
When she leaped to her feet, a low voice caused them to lower their weapons.
"Alright, that's it for today." Said their crinkled eyed, masked sensei as he appeared and walked over to them. Sakura brushed herself off and joined Sasuke in front of him.
The silver haired teacher looked to Sasuke first. "Flawless always, Sasuke." he praised, but held a certain dullness to them. He did nothing below excellent when bidded against his teammates for practice.
The Uchiha nodded in response.
He then turned his attention to the pinkette. A warmer smile curled at his lips as he looked at her. "You're improving, Sakura. Though there's an enormous gap between yours and Sasuke's strength, it appears that you two are the perfect sparring partners. Good work." And with this, the teacher vanished.
Sakura let out a sigh and turned to smile at the now onyx eyed Sasuke. "Thanks for sparring with me on such short notice, Sasuke-kun." She told him as she began to heal his wounds. Though they seemed nothing more than skin deep, the kunoichi knew that the few punches she did happen to deliver him had damaged him internally.
"Hn." He grunted, wincing slightly when her chakra glowing hand touch the skin where a broken rib lied. "But of course, like Kakashi-sensei said, you're much stronger than me…" she murmured, smiling just for show.
She knew exactly what he was capable of.
He was capable of killing her.
But he held back. For reasons unknown.
"You're improving." Sasuke mumbled as he closed his eyes and lifted up his shirt to reveal a fresh, ugly bruise. To hide both her awe and satisfaction, Sakura lowered her head to pretend that she was focusing harder on healing him.
"Arigato. But, I'll never come close to being on the same level as you or Naruto."
The conversation ended with these words. But it did not bother either of them; they were used to this; the silence. It was a part of their friendship, a calm, peaceful silence. Though her feelings went beyond the mutual feelings he had for her, she did not pressure him into talking or going out with her like she had done when she was infatuated with him.
But on occasion, one such as this, he would agree to spar with her and would not hold back.
(That was the worst thing anyone, especially Uchiha Sasuke, could do to her.)
"Sakura-chan! SASUKE-TEME!" called a loud blonde several yards away. When Sakura was finished healing both Sasuke and her own wounds, the two stood to meet the cerulean-eyed blonde.
He grinned at the two cheerfully.
"Dobe," acknowledged Sasuke.
"Naruto," smiled Sakura.
The three exchanged warm glances as the sun-kissed blonde swung his arms behind his head and began to pout. "Must've been fun sparring…wish I could've gone…" he mumbled.
Sasuke silently gestured them to walk as Sakura spoke. "Well it's your own fault, Naruto. If you hadn't done such a terrible thing to Akamaru…"
"It was a joke, Sakura-chan, I swear!" Protested the blonde as he slouched his shoulders. "I didn't know that Kiba's mutt would freak out like that…"
"What else did you expect a dog to do when it sees a cat? Even the pathetic cat you made out of the henge no jutsu." Sakura lectured. Sasuke chuckled quietly as Naruto began to groan.
Times like these were peaceful. He enjoyed the time he spent with his teammates and friends. They filled the empty gap in his heart his brother had made years ago. Perhaps, even healing most of the holes.
They were nothing but slightly painful, scabs now. But even so, Sasuke could not forget the family that he once had; that had been brutally murdered before his eyes by his one and only brother. The one he looked up to.
The one he wanted to be.
"Sasuke-kun?" asked the pinkette as she looked at him questioningly. Her and Naruto were side by side now and wore an equally puzzled expression. When the two had stopped, Sasuke did not.
"Where ya goin' teme? Ichiraku's right here! Jeez Sakura-chan, you must've hit him pretty hard back there…" mumbled the blonde as he walked inside with Sakura. Sasuke sighed and mumbled something under his breath.
Whenever he thought of his brother- whose name remained taboo nowadays- Naruto and Sakura were always there to resurface him from his terrifying memories and feelings of hate. They brought him sanity.

If you were dead or still alive, I don't care. I don't care…
"-And then Tsunade no baa-chan made me and Kiba fix all the fences in town-"
And all the things you left behind…
"Then she made us wash old man Tachibana's house! Do you know how dirty-"
I don't care. I don't care.
"TEME!!! GET THOSE DAMN HEADPHONES OUT OF YOUR EARS!!!!!" screamed a very frustrated blonde as he ripped out Sasuke's right headphone to yell at him. Onyx eyes shot him an annoyed glare as Sakura stifled a laugh.
"I don't care about your day, usuratonkachi." He told him as he tried to get his headphone back, but Naruto pulled it away from his grasp and scowled. "Well you should teme!!! FRIENDS are supposed to listen to each other! SAKURA-CHAN always listens to me, don't you Sakura-chan? Sakura-chan?" he asked as he watched the pinkette sway back and forth and hum a tune the boys didn't know.
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?...
But if they looked closely enough, trailing down Sakura's left side was a headphone, hidden in her pink hair, which had been deliberately casted to the side to cover it.
Sasuke snorted as he tuned out the blonde's loud complaints. She was no different from him.
But in a flash Naruto had grabbed both identical ipods and set them down on the counter in front of his empty ramen bowls. He examined them carefully.
"Apocalyptica featuring Three Days Grace? Panic At the Disco?? What the hell is this?!" Naruto demanded as he put one of each headphone in his ears.
Sakura frowned and flushed deeply. "Well- I don't see YOU listening to anything better!" she protested, but the blonde was no longer listening as he began to giggle at Sakura's song and sang along.
Furious, Sakura slammed the money for her ramen down on the table, whacked the blonde on his swaying head, grabbed her ipod and stomped out of the shop angrily.
The blonde snickered as he leaned over to Sasuke. "Ne, ne, teme…the song she was listening to said the word fu-"
Sasuke sighed wearily before putting his money down and snatching up the remaining ipod. Without another word or glance, the Uchiha left the shop as well; leaving the childish, cackling Naruto by himself.
When he was a good distance away from him, Sasuke stuffed the ipod back into his pocket and plugged a headphone into his ear. But when he pressed the play button, the raven haired man's ears was filled with a song he had never heard before.
And it immediately annoyed him…
Cause if you jump I will jump too, we will fall together…
This definitely wasn't his ipod.
x-x-x
"Stupid Naruto…Stupid Sasuke-kun for listening to his ipod and blowing MY cover…" Sakura grumbled to herself as she stormed through the streets of Konoha. 'Ah well…he was just being himself…' she thought with a sigh.
She refused to let her stupid blonde best friend ruin the rest of her day.
Cheering herself up, Sakura shoved a clump of pink hair behind her ear and delicately put in a headphone. But when she hit the play button, her eyes began to widen at both the volume and the song coming out of the speakers.
'Cause I f--king hate you, you're such a liar…
"Oh…no…" she began quietly when she realized that this angry, hate music was definitely not her sweet, ipod her father had gotten her for passing the chuunin exams a few months ago.
and I love to hate you,
"I have…Sasuke-kun's ipod…"
you're all the same to me…
"…and he has mine…"
TBC…
How was this? It was just a random fic idea I came up with ^^.
I used was I Don't Care by Apocalypta featuring Three Days Grace, Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic at the Disco, I Fucking Hate You by Godsmack, and Skyway Avenue by We the Kings.
Until the next song plays…
