Sakura P. O. V.

Well…we met at a Karaoke bar. You can't really call it a Karaoke bar; it was just a normal Bar/Lounge with a Karaoke machine pushed into the corner. Most of the people were either sitting on the couches by a table, or by the bar getting a drink.

So, one day… my so-called friends decided to go 'Heck! Let's make Sakura's life even more miserable than it is now and bring her to a Karaoke bar!' Heh… some friends…

----

"Sakura! Come on!" Ino yelled. Please… She just walked through the door and she's already yelling at me!

"KEEP YOUR PANTS ON!" I slipped on my wristband on and put on my favorite jacket; Black with red wings on the back. I walked down the stairs to see Ino tapping her foot on the floor and Hinata looking at one of the pictures on the wall. I heard a car honk outside.

"See… You were making such a big deal and TenTen only got here now." I said with a smirk. Hinata giggled and we all walked outside. The weather outside just started to get cold…but cold too fast. Yesterday I was in shorts. Today I'm in Jeans and a sort of heavy jacket.

"Hey!" TenTen chirped as we piled into her car. Ino and Hinata waved and said 'Hi' but I stayed silent.

Well… you may be wondering… 'What is up with her?' I'll tell you… but it isn't going to be a happy-go-lucky story.

Well… It happened Three months ago… Went to school, I'm majoring in Art by the way, and came home to my loving family (Hack!) PLEASE! LOVING FAMILY! My dad is an alcoholic! My mom is an emotional loser when you say hi to her on certain days she'll run to her room crying. My younger brother is an attention hog. And my older brother does Drugs, gets into gang fights and has gotten arrested fifteen times already!

One day my brother got into another Gang fight and died. My dad died that same day drinking and driving. My mom went through an emotional breakdown and ran out into a busy street, smart mom! My younger brother got so upset that he didn't get any attention he ran after my mom screaming 'MOMMY LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!!' –BAM- Now who is the only smart one in the family, me, I stayed inside…mourned, ate some tacos… looked at old family photos, went to a councilor and… Here we are!

Normal P. O. V.

"Sakura… quit being a baby! Just go!" Ino pushed Sakura through the door.

"Look Sakura… I'm meeting some friends' here… try to cheer up. Okay?" TenTen said. Sakura nodded and followed the rest of her friends to the stairs that lead to the second floor.

"Oi! Naruto!" TenTen yelled. A boy with gold hair and blue eyes turned around and waved. The girls walked towards the group of boys.

"Hey Naruto! You know Hinata. These here are Ino and Sakura." TenTen said pointing to her friends.

"Hey!" Naruto waved. He turned to his friends, "Introduce your selves!" Naruto yelled.

"Kiba."

"Gaara."

"Neji."

"Shikamaru."

"THE YOUTHFUL LEE!!"

"…"

"Teme!" Naruto yelled.

"Sasuke..." The girls waved and sat down.

"Guys say your names!" TenTen yelled.

"Hey. I'm Ino!" Ino chirped.

"…" Sakura said.

"She's Sakura." Ino said for her. Sakura closed her eyes and flopped down on the couch that the so-called "Youthful Lee" was at. She looked over at the waitress that was walking over towards them, when she walked by the mirror; she fixed her hair and pulled skirt higher, and undid some of the buttons on her shirt.

"Hey! What could I get you?" She said winking at Sasuke.

"8 Baileys, One Green tea and…" Naruto said looking at Sakura and Sasuke.

"Corona."

"Same." The waitress winked at Sasuke and walked away to go get their drinks.

---

"So Sakura… What are you doing now?" Naruto asked.

"The same thing you are doing." Sakura smirked.

"I mean are you in school?" Naruto asked again.

"Yeah." Sakura said.

"Majoring in…?" Naruto pushed.

"Art."

I am outside

And I've been waiting for the sun

With my wide eyes

I've seen worlds that don't belong

My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize

Tell me why we live like this

Sakura turned her head towards the window listening to the song. She started to move her lips to the song. She always liked the song; she seemed always to calm down when she hears this song.

Keep me safe inside

Your arms like towers

Tower over me

Yeah

Cause we are broken

What must we do to restore

Our innocence

And all the promise we adored

Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

"Your Drinks!" The waitress said very cheerfully.

'Her voice just ruined the verse…' Sakura thought glaring at the girl. She laid their drinks on the table. The girl made sure that Sasuke got his drink handed to him.

"Here you go!" The girl giggled when Sasuke took the drink. Sakura looked at her nametag 'Karin…'

"Um… Karin is it?" Sakura said innocently.

"Yeah?" She said glaring at Sakura for disturbing her 'moment with Sasuke'.

"Uh…I don't wanna be rude or anything but…"

"What?" She said annoyed.

"You have something in your teeth." Sakura said trying not to laugh.

"NANI!?" Karin ran to the restrooms and left the group.

"Life is good." Sakura said leaning back on the couch as the group laughed.

---

"So…" TenTen said as the group sat quietly.

"…" Nobody said anything as they sat in the awkward silence. Sakura traded spots with Kiba and now she was sitting next to Shikamaru. The couch was a corned couch so there was one part that didn't have a back part. Naruto decided that it would be fun if everyone jumped over it so as Naruto was getting as running start, Sakura stuck out her foot as he was running.

"ACK!" Naruto yelled as he tripped.

"…"

"AHAHAHAAAAAA" Sakura started to laugh, and as she was leaning back laughing she fell over because where she was sitting didn't have a back part.

"Eeee!" Sakura squeaked as she fell back.

"Dude…" Kiba laughed (Hah…My friend does that when he laughs)

---

"Hey everyone! I haven't heard anyone on the Karaoke yet so…" Karin walked off the stage and went towards Sakura, "Sing." Sakura handed the microphone to her. Sakura smirked and looked towards Shikamaru. He nodded and signaled towards Neji and Gaara. They stood up and walked towards the stage. There were instruments on the stage. Gaara walked toward the drums while Neji got the Bass, Shikamaru lazily picked up the guitar. Sakura signaled the group and they all nodded. Sakura picked up the other guitar and strummed the first note. This was her zone.

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top

She's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin like a clock

It's a matter of time before we all run out...

When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months

She finally set him free

I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me

Two weeks and we had caught on fire

She's got it out for me

But I wear the biggest smile

Sakura and Shikamaru bobbed their heads crazily to the beats. The rest of the group stared with mouths open.

Whoa... I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa... it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But god does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him now

And if you could then you know you would

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change

Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged

I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way

Sakura pointed at Karin when she said that. She huffed and looked away.

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you

Looking as innocent as possible to get to who

They want and what they like its easy if you do it right

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

Whoa... I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa... it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But god does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him right now

And if you could then you know you would

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving you

Just watch my wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving...

Sakura, Shikamaru, and Neji both jumped when Shikamaru did his solo. Sakura leaned on the mic stand and sang the next verse. Her fingers still ready for the next note.

Whoa.. I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa... I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa... it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But god does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him right now

And if you could then you know you would

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good

The last note that Gaara played hung in the air. Everyone went crazy after it slowly started to fade.

"One more?" Sakura asked. The crowd went wild after Sakura finished saying 'one'.

Sakura turned towards the boys and they all shrugged, their way of saying 'go ahead'. Sakura set the guitar she was holding on its stand and listened as the beats from the drums blared around her, then her mouth started to move. Singing the song. Her song.

A picture of Sakura and her older brother arguing

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things

A memory remains just a tiny spark

I give it all my oxygen

So let the flames begin

A Picture of her mother playing with her younger brother and Sakura standing at the door.

Oh, glory

This is how we'll danced when

When they try to take us down

This is what will be our glory

A picture of Sakura at the door while her father was leaned over the toilet.

Somewhere weakness is our strength

And I'll die searching for it

I can't let myself regret such selfishness

My pain and all the trouble caused

No matter how long

I believe that there's hope

Buried beneath it all and

Hiding beneath it all, and

Growing beneath it all, and...

A picture of Sakura watching her parents fight.

This is how we'll dance when

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down

This is what will be our glory

A Picture of her brother leaving the house before he died.

Reaching as I sink down into light

A Picture of her dad leaving before he died.

Reaching as I sink down into light

A picture of her brother and Mother running before they died.

This is how we'll dance when

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down

This is what will be our glory

A picture of Sakura in front of her house

Sakura walked off the stage and walked right passed the group and to the door.

"Fatal Memories. Memories that kill."

That was her jacket. Right below the wings. In a deadly red color.

He was the only one who understood what it meant.

Chapter one finished… again…
