Anything

Rated: T

Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. The song is not mine. The idea is mine, but I'm not making any money off it...

Warnings: onesided SasuSaku, SasuNaru, possible OOCness, character death, and the ever present crappy writing

Notes: Hokay. This is my first attempt at SasuSaku. This is my first attempt at a het fic in general. And look how it turned out. ::tells you to read the story to find out:: It ended up being SasuNaru... Wow. Um, I hope this finds an audience with someone. And if not, well, I'll know not to try this again... Oh, and the song is what first inspired this... But then the story ran amok. And the song is now just here to make the page look pretty. Well, it kinda sorta pertains to the story. I'm really rambling, aren't I?

Oh, yes, Sakura's words are in italics, Naruto's are in bold, and Sasuke's are bold and italicized. Well, um, read and hopefully enjoy!

Anything by The Calling

I will be there
Always waiting
Waiting for you
To let me inside
Where your fire burns
In a city of angels
Just like a river rushing straight into the sea
I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything And as you sleep
Eyes to the window
I'm watching you dream
Well are you dreaming of me?
So why can't you see
You're all that matters
You know if this earth should crack
I'll be your solid ground
I will be there to catch you when you fall down
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you
I'd end the world give you the sun, the moon
For all of time, forever loving you
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

Over the years, Haruno Sakura learned many things. She learned ninjutsu and genjutsu (she was particularly good at that) and taijutsu. She learned how to work with her environment. She learned about teamwork. She learned about friendship and hard work and dedication and...

She learned about love.

I loved him then. I didn't know it. But I loved him even back then.

And now?

And now... I love him still. I love him so much it hurts. I'd do anything for him.

But that was hardly all she learned about.

She learned about growing up and how pretty faces can hide dark and dirty secrets. She learned about revenge and desperation and obsession. She learned about the close bond that tied her two teammates together, a bond she would never be included in. She learned that it didn't matter, because she had her own bond with him. She loved him.

And she learned that would never be enough. He didn't, couldn't, wouldn't need her like she did him.

But he loved her, in his own way. She learned that the night he left, though the words were never said. He loved her.

Like a friend, like a teammate, like a sister. He never loved me like he does you.

He doesn't love me.

He does. He loves you like I love him.

I never meant to hurt you...

I know. I still love him. I'd still do anything for him. Even if it kills me. I'd do it for him.

Sakura...

You would too. We both love him. Even if you haven't realized it yet. We'd do anything for him. Anything and everything.

She learned that she would do anything if it was for him. She would grow up for him. She would grow stronger for him. She would help Naruto bring him back. She would save him. She would live for him. She would die for him. She would disappear for him. She would... oh God, what wouldn't she do?

Nothing.

She would do anything for him.

For Sasuke.

She loved you so much it killed her... Don't just stand there! Say something! She died for you and you stand here doing nothing! You fucking bastard!

Shut your mouth! I care. I loved her too. I just couldn't love her the way she wanted me to.

I... I know. She said... that you loved me. And that I loved you tooAnd that she would do anything for you. And so would I. And you would do anything for me. Because we loved each other so hard, so deeply, so much

Anything is a big word.

So is love.

Sakura was a very smart girl.

Yeah... she was.

I wish I could have loved her like she wanted me too... Don't look at me at like that. I wish I could have... But I couldn't.

Because you love someone else...

Because I love someone else.

Sakura would do anything for Sasuke. Even if it meant giving him to Naruto.

-o-

Hokay.

Don't hurt me too badly?

I'm not sure exactly when this takes place... it's obviously after the time skip... And Sasuke is back. And I guess Sakura died bringing him back.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate Sakura, not any more at least.

And, oh dearie me... I don't know anymore...

Please review if this deserves a review.

love you now and forever, because you're amazing, and I don't deserve any of you at all,
