Disclaimer: Yada, yada, yada. It's disclaimed. :D Lol.

AN: Okay, so this is part of a challenge that I found while looking through my reviewers' pages. One of them, ChristinaAngel (a really good writer!! :D) had done this and it looked interesting. Of course, I, the idea queen (erm, nickname between my friends and I – too many plot bunnies and more being created with just a muse and the want to have more stories… 0.0), figured that it'd be fun! Of course, I also though that I'd suck, but I'll let you be the judges of that! :P

This is what I've coppied from her story's page:

1. Choose any character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

Well, here goes!! :D

The iPod Shuffle Challenge

The NaruSaku List

Artist: Three Days Grace
Song: Story of A Girl

"I'm fine, Naruto… Really."

Naruto Uzumaki winced. He knew his best friend better than that. After all, they had known each other since Kindergarten and he had a crush on her since about the same time. You'd figure she'd know by now, but sadly, no luck thus far.

"It's okay, Sakura-chan. You can cry to me. I won't tell."

And she did as Naruto watched the retreating backs of Sasuke Uchiha and Karin heading out the front doors of their high school. "I'll be here."

"I know." She sobbed out. "Th-thank you."

Artist: Flo Rida ft. T-Pain
Song: Low

The pink haired woman strutted in, smirk plastered (deliciously, to her viewers) on her delicate facial features.

Immediately after walking into the main part of the club, she headed to the dance floor.

And a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, young man stood, entranced.

He joined her quickly in a heavy grind, to which she readily accepted.

"Name?" She panted out.

"Naruto … Uzumaki. You?" It was just formalities, of course.

"Sakura."

They both knew where this was headed…

"… I've got a place down the street."

So why not cut to the chase?

"Good."

He wondered if she'd remember him in the morning, but judging by her breath, he doubted it. Might as well enjoy her while he had her…

Artist: Hilary Duff
Song: Crash World

Sakura shook her head. Well, she had to give it to him – he sure was persistent.

… But persistent wasn't what she needed. Right now, she needed space.

"Not now, Naruto. In fact, not ever."

"But, Sakura-chan…!" His usually cheerful face looked wilted.

"You broke up with me, Naruto. It's over."

"But I still love y-"

"NO! I can't hear that! Not. Right. NOW! Just- Just leave me alone!"

And she stormed off.

"Sakura-chan…"

Artist: Three Days Grace
Song: Pain

Another stab. It was perfect.

Recently, he hadn't been able to feel anything and he'd been faking his once perfect grin.

This, however, was, as he said: perfect. It gave him pain and that was much better than feeling absolutely nothing at all.

No more numbness…

His azure eyes closed with contentment.

"Naruto!! What are doing?!?!"

Frozen in mid-stab, the blonde looked up.

"Sakura-chan…?"

"Naruto! You- I…!"

"… Save me, Sakura-chan."

And she dove for his him just as he passed out from blood-loss. "I'll help you through this, Naruto." And that, she promised.

Artist: Fall Out Boy
Song: Dance, Dance

It was a simple mission, really. Just head to the club and stop a few potential murderers. Oh yes, just c-ranked.

However, Team 7 seemed to have an extra problem, and that lay in a single female dancing to lure in their mission.

Naruto's teeth clenched. That was his Sakura-chan! No one else's!

So when Naruto went out and knocked out three guys for 'getting too close', Kakashi knew one thing for sure.

This would be his first failed c-ranked mission ever.

'Just leave it to Naruto…'

Artist: Toybox
Song: Best Friend

"I don't get it, Forehead-girl. Why don't you go out with Naruto? I mean, LOOK at him! Ever since he came back with Jiraiya…. Just yummy, really."

Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend's antics. "Ino! This is Naruto we're talking about here! He's my best friend. Isn't Shika yours?"

"Erm… About that…. We're going out now."

"WHAT?!?!?!"

"Honestly, Sakura, it's nice. Just consider it, 'mmkay?"

Sakura just nodded. 'Well, you just never know…' And she turned around again to watch her team continue training, taking special note of the blonde's actions. 'I'll consider it.'

Artist: U2
Song: With or Without You

Naruto lay on his roof, staring up at the stars as he thought about Konoha and his teammates.

First up, Kakashi.

'Heh. I wonder if he still reads Pervy-sensei's books… I'll have to remember to get him one on my way back.'

Next was Sasuke.

'I will get you back, Sasuke-teme! You just wait and see…'

Then, last, but not least; Sakura. He remembered how much of a wreck her emotional status seemed to be last time he had seen her.

'I'll wait for you, Sakura-chan. Alright? I'll wait.'

He was waiting for Jiraiya to pack up currently, as they were heading back to Konoha the next day. That meant that he'd see Sakura-chan again! He was excited but he knew not to hope too much.

Of course, he'd never give up, though.

'With or without you… I'll wait for you.'

Artist: Three Days Grace
Song: Never Too Late

"Don't give up, Sakura-chan! Not now. It's not too late to go back and fix up our team."

"It is, Naruto."

"No! It's not too late – it's never too late." He said it so firmly, but she still shook her head (even if he couldn't see it).

"Sasuke's back, Naruto, but that doesn't change anything. I'm sorry."

His voice crackled over the phone a bit. "No, it'll be alright, okay? Stay still, I'll be right there! Hold in there, Sakura-chan!"

"No, Naruto. I think it's time that I made a decision around here."

And by the time he got there so he could stop her, she was dead. Just a little too late…

Artist: Shaggy
Song: Angel

Naruto grinned. Really, he was the happiest man in Konoha today!

Why? Well, today he was given the title of Hokage, but that wasn't all.

Right now, in front of everyone in his new hat and coat, Uzumaki Naruto turned to his long-time girlfriend, comrade, and best friend, Haruno Sakura.

"-But I couldn't have done this without her, my girlfriend." He looked her in the eyes as he said this. "So, Haruno Sakura, will you marry me?"

"…YES!!!!! Shannaro!"

Artist: My Chemical Romance
Song: Teenagers

Naruto shook his head as he and his partner-in-crime (quite literally, too) walked through their new gang's domain. It all the same – they wanted tough teens. Then they'd destroy them.

'But it doesn't matter.' He thought, stealing a glance at the pink-haired woman beside him. 'As long as I still have her and I keep her safe, it's all O.K.'

And he knew that the feeling was mutual by the simple squeeze from the soft hand in his. They will destroy them.

AN: And it's done! Took… Ten songs worth of time! . Lol ItaSaku next, probably.
