Sitebzen:This will be my first KabuSaku story. So if you don't like the pairing Kabuto x Sakura then don't bother reading this. This is AU and the characters might be OOC.

Summary: Sakura Haruno has a crush on the most popular boy in her grade, Sasuke Uchiha. No matter what she does he doesn't notice her. She vents out her frustration on Kabuto Yakushi, a senior she befriended at the start of the fall semester. Could their friendship bloom into something more? Now that everything starts to crumble around them? Find out….

oooOOOooo

The bell rang and everyone left for their next class except for Sakura Haruno. She remained sitting at her desk as she waited for someone to show up. She gripped her envelop tightly as she continued to wait.

What was taking him so long? Is he even going to show up? What if he says no?

Questions like these were gnawing at her soul. Her nervousness spiked incredibly as she heard someone called her name. She turned around and noticed the most popular boy in her grade walking towards her. It was Sasuke Uchiha.

He did come after all. She thought as she smiled in relief.

"What do you want?" He said annoyed.

"Please accept this!" Sakura said blushing as she hung her head down and extended her confession letter to him.

Sasuke stared at her and looked away, "I don't want it."

Sakura looked surprise as she looked up.

"B-but you didn't even read it. My feelings are…"

"I don't care. Listen I get countless of these "love letters" and one more doesn't change the way I feel about them." He said interrupting her. Then he proceeded on proving his point by ripping the envelope in front of her eyes. She stood there immobilize as she felt the world around her crumbled into nothing.

"But Sasuke why...," she trailed off as she looked away. She knew this scenario could go in her favor or against her. She mentally prepared herself for either way but she never thought the rejection would hurt so much. The letter she took days to write down was easily destroyed in seconds. She had poured her whole heart into that letter and the worst part was that Sasuke didn't bother to read it. Her legs gave out on her and she fell to her knees. She tried to hold back the tears that wanted to spill. She still had her pride after all.

"Why? You really want to know. You're annoying. Stop pestering me." Sasuke said before walking away. Sakura looked at Sasuke's retrieving form and then everything went blurry. She no longer was able to hold it in and cried her heart out. The rejection was too much too bear.

oooOOOooo

Title: My Heart Cries for You…

Chapter One: Rejection…!

oooOOOooo

On the rooftop of Konoha High School small sobs could be heard.

"It seems Sasuke is cruel as ever," Kabuto mused.

Sakura stared back at the older teen who was currently sitting by the steps reading his favorite magazine, Konoha's Shooting Stars.

"You knew this was going to happen and you didn't stop me?" Sakura asked in disbelief as she heard the other let out a small laugh.

"Oh Sakura you are so naïve. All I told you was to write your feelings down. I never said to give it to him." He said continuing reading the article about the famous model Shizune.

"And it was so peaceful too when you were concentrating on writing that letter," he said as an afterthought. He missed those quiet moments.

Sakura fell over. "Y-you only told me that so you wouldn't hear me complain?"

"Yeah that's pretty much it." He said flipping the page over.

He looked up from his magazine and saw Sakura making swirling lines on the floor. He could feel the gloomy atmosphere starting to ruin his good day. Did being rejected by someone like Sasuke really affect her this much?

He let out a sigh, "Of everyone you could have fall in love with…why did you choose him?"

Sakura huffed.

"What's wrong with falling in love?" She said putting her hands on her waist and looking down at her upper classmate.

Kabuto closed his magazine and smiled at the pink hair girl. "Nothing at all," he replied.

Sakura was surprised to see a genuine smile on the silver hair teen.

"It's the most beautiful thing in the world isn't it?" He asked her and she nodded in agreement.

She watched him staring at the blue sky and wondered if he was thinking of someone. She tapped her chin, "Could it be that you are in love Kabuto senpai?"

Kabuto didn't look at her but did respond, "Who knows."

She saw the playful smile on the other's face. "Please tell me!" Sakura begged always curious about the older teen. Kabuto laughed as Sakura started throwing small punches at his side in an attempt to pry out some answers out of him.

"I'll tell you someday okay." He said looking at Sakura fondly and patting the girl on the head.

"You better." Sakura said as she pouted.

Once again Kabuto eluded her. One of these days she was sure he'll open up to her just as she did when she vent about her friends and classmates and especially Sasuke. It was only natural for friends to trust each other and confine in each other.

"If you truly love him you shouldn't give up so easily." She heard the other say.

"I've tried everything." Sakura said sitting beside the other. She pulled her legs in and rested her head on her knees as her arms hugged her legs. "I've tried everything to make him notice me. I tried being the smartest girl in class just so he can acknowledge me. I even grew my hair just because I heard he likes girls with long hair. I tried talking to him everytime I see him in the hallways. What else can I do?"

Kabuto closed his eyes and Sakura looked at him in hopes for an answer. What advice could the older boy give her?

"Perhaps you should forget about Sasuke." Not exactly the answer she wanted to hear.

"Forget about Sasuke how could you ask me that?" She said in slight anger.

"Well Sasuke might just be a crush and eventually you'll get over it. It's not the end of the world you know." He said not seeming to care about the situation.

Sakura looked away. It was true Sasuke was her first and only crush. She never looked at another boy like she did to Sasuke. "Even so I know Sasuke is my true love."

"True love...? How naïve," he snorted.

"Figures you wouldn't understand how a woman feels."

"A woman huh…" he said softly to himself.

Sakura didn't miss the blow to her womanly pride and punched him hard on the shoulder. "Jerk...!"

Kabuto winced slightly at her unusual strength. "Listen I'm just saying Sasuke isn't the right guy for you."

At this she stood up with determination in her eyes. "I'll prove it to you. By the end of this year Sasuke will fall madly in love with me."

"Such strong declaration but will you pull it off?"

"Of course, this is a trail of love and love conquers all." She was on fire. Kabuto smiled and let out a small laugh.

"Now that's the Sakura I know."

"Huh?" Sakura blinked in confusion as Kabuto got up.

Before she knew it she felt soft lips pressed against her forehead giving her an unfamiliar emotion. The kiss was brief and Kabuto could only smile in triumph at Sakura's unmistakable blush.

"W-what was that for?" She asked confuse with the strange feeling coursing through her.

"Just wishing you good luck is all. I don't like seeing you crying. You're more beautiful when you smile." He said patting her head one last time before leaving for his next class.

Sakura stood there her heart beating fast. This was the first time any guy got close to her. Although the kiss on her forehead wasn't intimate it was still contact.

Kabuto isn't bad looking either perhaps… she slapped herself mentally.

What am I thinking?

I have to be faithful to Sasuke.

Kabuto was just being friendly as usual. He's just a friend. She repeated in her head as she too left for her next class.

oooOOOooo

To be continued…..or not.
