I've been itching to do this song fic for a while. It's Naruto X Sakura and is to the song Skin by Rascal Flatts. I also mentioned a song called Tearin' It Up (Burnin' It Down) that's done by my hero Garth Brooks. I also don't own Naruto.
Italics is the song/song names.
Haruno Sakura had just had the worst day of her life. She had fallen over and got a bruise over six months ago and it wasn't get any smaller. So she went to the doctor and found out that she had cancer.
"And I was supposed to go with Naruto to the prom and then to our friend's concert," she sighed, "I guess I'll just have to cancel." On her way home she got her opportunity to tell him, as she ran into the said ninja.
"Hi Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he kissed her.
"Hi Naruto. Listen I'm going to have to cancel going to the prom and concert tomorrow."
"Well of course we won't be going to the prom. Justin moved his concert time up and we ain't missing it," Naruto said.
"NO! I'm not going to the concert either," screamed Sakura.
"Why Sakura-chan?"
"I just can't okay," Sakura said as she ran away while just about staring to cry.
Naruto, baffled, turned to Mr. and Mrs. Haruno and asked, "Why can't Sakura-chan go to the concert?"
"She just found out she has cancer," Mr. Haruno said.
"But, she's to young to have cancer," Naruto said shocked.
"She's just worried that you won't be there for her, she just found out and had her first treatment for it and there are some unwanted side affects," Mrs. Haruno said.
"Like?"
"Her hair is going to fall out."
"That's it? She's worried about that? I don't care if she has hair or not she is the most beautiful girl in the world to me. Tell her we'll skip prom but she better be ready for the concert."
As her parents left saying that they'd tell her, Naruto toke out his cell phone. "Hey Justin, I need a favor."
The Next Day
Sakura didn't want to go to the concert but was ready when Naruto came to pick her up.
"Hey my cherry blossom."
"Hi Naruto, what's with the hat?" asked Sakura.
"It's a surprise."
At the concert
Sakura was actually having a great time at Justin's concert and they had just finished one of her favorites, Tearin' It Up (And Burnin' It Down). The house and stage lights went out just leaving the spotlight on Justin and Naruto said he was going to go to the bathroom.
"I got a call yesterday from a friend of mine. My friend told me he needed a favor to make someone happy. Well here's the favor."
Justin began:
Sarah Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well since the day that she fell
And the bruise, it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says, "Will you please come with me"
'Wait Naruto told Justin. Just wait till he gets back here," she thought. She suddenly stopped and looked at the jumbo screen behind Justin. The screen was showing pictures of her and Naruto.
Sarah Beth is scared to death
'Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try
It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time
Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair
The pictures did in fact to seem to be dancing around and her eyes started to water.
Sarah Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
For, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
Sakura reached up toward her hair or where her hair would have been, really starting to cry.
Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair
Its quarter to seven
That boys at the door
At this point in the song, Naruto walked out on stage and stood next to Justin. The jumbo screen cut in half, one side of him and the other side of her.
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
Naruto took off his cap and showed that he had, in fact, shaved his own head. He stood there and grinned as Sakura started her way to the stage balling. When she got up on the stage they hugged and kissed like they never had before, both crying.
They all start to cry
Cause this mornin where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
She reached up and touched his head and they started to dance, blocking out everything other than the music.
And they go dancin
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared
On the jumbo screen was a shot of them while they were kissing on the stage and in Naruto's writing was: I will always love you no matter how you look or what we go through, Love Naruto.
"I guess I have nothing to worry about, right."
"No you don't my hime, no you don't," Naruto said right before they kissed.
That song always makes my eyes water. The singer Justin is actually me, what can I say I like to sing country songs.
