"Be My Escape"

SONG BY: Relient K

He had been fighting his fate since that day. The day that he first vowed to do what he had done. Since he had first vowed to become an avenger. He's been trying to prevent dieing until he had restored his clan to its former glory.

He had promised himself to do it… with her by his side. But everyone who had come close to him, he had hurt. There was no point to try and keep her by his side; she was the one person he couldn't hurt. So he stopped playing hard to get, and he just started to ignore her.

I've given up on giving up slowly,

I'm blending in so You won't even know me

Apart from this whole world that shares my fate

He had done terrible things in his lifetime, things that only brought more shame to the Uchiha name than it was really worth: or at least in his opinion. But destroying the Snake Sannin seemed like an appropriate place to start his redemption, and if he survived this encounter, he would continue to attempt to redeem himself. Not in their eyes, the eyes of Kanoha, in her eyes. So that maybe she would look at him once more with the look he once took for granted, but now wished with all his being would come back.

This one last bullet you mention

is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away

But no matter what he did, he doubted that she would ever look at him the same. He couldn't take it anymore, now a days, he just sat in his house, alone, because she wasn't coming over all the time to see if he wanted to do something with her. He wanted to so badly, just go out find her and ask her to marry him, but he was almost certain that she wouldn't accept. But he had to see her… that was it, he was going out.

And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house

all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though,

there's no way in knowing where to go,

promise I'm going because

He walked over to the training grounds, like usual. A routine he had fell back into, but he didn't mind. This was one of the only times he got to see her. He remembered the old days, when every time she sensed his presents, her eyes would light up. Oh how he wished that would happen, at least once more. But sadly there is nothing that can rekindle that bright light she once held in her eyes for him.

I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

He had aloud Naruto to try and help him, but the dobe's plan failed miserably, and he thinks she hates him even more for spilling that paint all over her dress the he later found out was her favorite. (Don't even ask) He asked Shikamaru to help him, but he and all the rest of the Rookie 9 shinobi simply said that they couldn't help. So, desperate, he went to… Neji, and the only thing her got from him was a chuckle and a 'figure it out on your own Uchiha, you're a big boy now after all.' So now, he figured he would listen to Neji this time and formulate his own plan.


I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there

It felt like he was in prison, a place he couldn't escape. She was every where, no mater what he did she was in his mind. In his dreams, daydreams, thoughts, she was every where. It was torturous, but at the same time, he really didn't want to stop it.

And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

But every time he wants to talk to her he gets nervous and hesitates. Then someone always steals her away. He just wants to go up and say, 'hey Sakura you want to hang out at that ramen bar dobe likes so much.' But them he thinks 'no that's lame' and while he's trying to think of a better line someone come and takes her away from him. Hinata, Ino, Tenten, even Temari. But it really gets under his skin when it's a guy, he doesn't care if it's that wannabe dobe Konahamaru, it pisses him off. But today was going to be different, today was the day.


Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house

all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though,

there's no way in knowing where to go,

promise I'm going because

He needed to do something or he was going to go insane. He just couldn't take this mediocre life stile he's become accustom to. Its unhealthy to be so utterly in love with someone without them knowing, because then you start becoming a starker, and Sasuke Uchiha doesn't stalk girls, girls stalk Sasuke Uchiha. But if he didn't find some way to tell her soon, he might just resort to stalking… (he shudders at the thought.)

I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

This is all his fault really, if he had just shown his feelings to Sakura earlier, of maybe if he hadn't gone off with Captain Creepy, Orochimaru. But… there's nothing he couldn't do anything about that. All he can do is tell her his feelings and hope for the best…


I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

"Sakura," he said getting her attention. They had just finished training for the day and she was getting ready to leave. 'Now or never,' he thought. Sakura turned around to face him, her head cocked to the side slightly.

"Yes Sasuke, what is it?" she asked. He hadn't really talked to her since he got back from Orochimaru, so she was a little surprised.

"Would you…" he hesitated again, a blush creeping onto his cheeks, despite his attempt to suppress it. "Do you want to go to the ramen bar with me?" he asked trying to stay casual and calm.


Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house

all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though,

there's no way in knowing where to go,

promise I'm going because

When they arrived at the ramen bar they both ordered and sat in silence. She was waiting for him to speak; he was trying to get the right words to say. The ramen was served before even a single word was pasted between them. Sakura knew that Sasuke was a quiet person, but, he wouldn't have invited her here if he didn't have something to say.

Finally, Sasuke sighed and looked up from his bowl of ramen. He looked, hesitantly at her before he spoke.

I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.

"Sakura, I've been meaning to tell you something since I got back from Orochimaru," he said looking at her seriously. This was it, the moment he's been waiting for, for a very long time.

"Sakura I love you," he said.


I fought You for so long
I should have let You in

Sakura was silent, her eyes widened and she dropped her chopsticks in her bowl of ramen. Sasuke didn't like that reaction…

She turned away from him; shear shock was all that played on her angelic face.

Suddenly she got up and ran out of the ramen bar.

Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

Sasuke finally got up from the bar, paid the bill and walked home. That was it; he worked up all his courage for that only to leave heart broken… That's it… he done fighting fate, he's just going to jump off a cliff and end his miserable-

"Sasuke!!!" said Uchiha turned around to see a pink blur… and then he felt something, on his lips. He put his arms around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him. So, maybe he was glad he fought his fate… because he won.


So were You
