Summary: What if Sasuke never left for power? What if their lives went on, as they would have? And what if Sakura started liking a certain blonde-haired ninja a little too early for Sasuke's liking? What if their world is different from what it really is? This is reality, and its hitting them all a little too hard.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Naruto. If I did, many more plot twists & much more Sakura liking Naruto-ness.

Pairings: Naruto/Sakura and slight Sasuke/Sakura

Prologue

Naruto's POV

I gasped. I couldn't believe what I saw, or was seeing.

There was my girlfriend, in the hands of that bastard, and worse, they were making out.

Now I know that Sakura was having a hard time figuring out her emotions for the two of us, but damn it! She is my girlfriend, and I'm not giving her away to Sasuke!

I let out a small growl, my fists clenching.

"Na-Naruto! It…It's not what it looks like!" Sakura yelled out to me, her arm outstretching towards me.

"Oh yeah right!" I spat back at her.

She would have ran into my arms. I knew she would.

And would have gladly let her. After all, I still loved her.

But that bastard's grip on her waist tightened, telling me body-wise that she was his, and she wanted him, not me.

Was he wrong.

My anger soon died down quicker than I thought, my heart aching at the scene, making my emotions throb with sadness, no matter how mad I wanted to be at the moment.

My eyes wanted to cry, as me. But I couldn't. Not in front of Sakura-chan.

Not in front of him.

I dropped the box in my hand, the contents falling out of it.

I loved Sakura-chan so much, it hurt.

I planned to give her diamond necklace, for our 1-month anniversary. She would never have believed that I remembered. But I remember everything that has to deal with her.

With us.

The necklace was one more step towards my goal of marring her one-day. I knew she would have loved it. Every part of it.

But now, I just couldn't do it.

Now after what I saw.

"Sakura… I loved you. How could you?" I said to her, to them. Yes, I said loved. I still love her, I always will.

But will she always love me?

That's what I have to find out.

"Naruto please! Just listen!" she yelled to me again, but I couldn't.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly, almost too quiet for me to hear, but I didn't care.

I turned and ran, out of the house, and out of her life.

Forever.

Sakura's POV

I knew Naruto was there. I could feel him.

I knew he would find me.

But I would have never thought it would have been this fast.

I had pulled away from Sasuke when I heard him, seeing his face, a mixture of anger. And hurt.

"Na-Naruto! It… It's not what it looks like!" I said to him, reaching out to him while trying to reach out of Sasuke's grasp, but his arms tightened more around my waist, pulling me closer to him more than I already was.

"Oh yeah right!" he said back to him, his voice different than it usually sounds towards me, harsh and like acid stinging my skin.

I never meant for this, any of this to happen. I didn't mean to break his trust. But my emotions for the two of them were driving me crazy!

I went for a walk and wound up finding Sasuke, and somehow… we ended up like this.

I heard, and saw, whatever Naruto was holding his hand, he dropped. I gasped whenever I saw it.

A diamond necklace.

He… He remembered. I would have cried, but I couldn't. I would have ran into his arms, but I couldn't. I couldn't do anything.

And now I feel worse.

"Sakura… I loved you. How could you?" he said to me, his voice barely above a whisper. That broke my heart.

He… doesn't love me anymore?

"Naruto please! Just listen!" I yelled to him. He couldn't mean that… could he?

He never answered me as he turned and ran off.

I had to find out, if he really didn't love me anymore. That was it.

I didn't care about Sasuke anymore as I finally got out of his grasp, and ran out after him, calling his name.

Now I think I know who I really love.

Sasuke's POV

I smirked.

Everything was going according to plan.

Author Notes: Well, the prologue for my new story. Hope y'all like it. Well, just to tell y'all, the points of view will usually go Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, & sometimes Author. And it's strange, because in the next chapter, it goes Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, & then Author. Heh. Weird, but usually Naruto will tell the story first. Anyways, I'm glad if y'all like the story, & y'all will probably have to wait some for the next chapter. I'm sorry to say, but I actually wasn't planning on putting this story up first. I had planned to put my other Naruto one, Bloodlusting for You, up first, but I guess I just couldn't wait for this one or something. So, keep a watch for that one, & who knows? Maybe I'll put up another chapter of this, like I did with this, & knowing me, I will. Hopefully I'll have my other story up first! hehe! Anyways, please comment & I'll try to update soon! Thanxs:) :p ;)
