" Sakura!"
A sea of black moving dots were the only thing Sakura could see. Flashes seemed to appear every second suddenly reminding Sakura to never back down. " He will come, he promised me! " she insisted quietly to her manager Tsunade.
" Back out now Sakura!, Orochimaru would never allow him to come and do a public speech -- much less for another company!" yelled a frustrated Tsunade.
" He said we'll be in it together!" She insisted unsurely, her hands slowly clenching her arms.
It was quite for awhile until Sakura felt a hand on top of her head. Raising her head up high, she was greeted with supporting blue sapphire eyes. " Naruto", was all her body allowed her to say.
" Sakura-chan, smile and do what you gotta do!" Naruto said smiling, though everyone in the room noticed that the happiness did not reach his eyes.
" But, he's not here yet, I can't go." She replied quietly carefully not looking at his eyes.
Naruto closed his eyes, roughly brushing his blond hair. It was quite for awhile until Naruto hesitantly said " He won't be coming tonight, he told me to tell you that Orochimaru was right and that you should say the speech."
Sakura stiffly turned her eyes to meet with Naruto's sapphires, " He would never say that!, he loves me Naruto, I know it.", She reasoned pleadingly
Naruto, who once looked at her face quickly turned the other way.
" He said that he would support our decision, he said he would protect me from those comments, he said that he would never let fame tear us apart!!." She yelled desperately as she slowly slipped to the glossy floor, covering her ears firmly.
" Sakura" whispered Tsunade.
Naruto couldn't take it anymore, everything was getting out of control, too much to handle.
"Sakura -- ", he was interrupted.
" Uzumaki, that's enough." Tsunade said to Naruto with seriousness dripping into the sentence.
" Sakura, obviously you were easily fooled--", Naruto was interrupted once again.
" Uzumaki Naruto, say one word and your outta here!" Tsunade threaten the man, fully facing him.
Naruto , who couldn't help but flinch continued anyway --" Sakura, obviously you were easily fooled, maybe you both are too young and have to truly understand the responsibility of love at this business."
" That's it Naruto!" shouted Tsunade who was beside the stiff girl in seconds.
"How could you say those things to her!" Tsunade continued to yell.
Everything and everyone seemed to be silent, witnessing an extraordinary argument that would surely be headlines the next day.
" Oba-chan, she needs to know the selfish things she has done and fix them!" Naruto finally said with iciness all over his voice.
Everyone noticed Sakura stop breathing, her pink locks of hair covering her face from everyone. An eerie silence filled the air as Sakura slowly stood up. Everyone, including Naruto looked at her, bewildered. Sakura swept her pink bangs over the side of her head and looked at everyone quietly announcing " I'll do it."
Conference Meeting
" What's going to happen?"
...
...
" Her career is crushed for sure!"
" Please sit in your seats as Ms. Sakura Haruno will now begin." The announcer said towards to numerous crowds of people.
FLASHHHHH

CLIIICKKKK
Sakura was greeted with the nation's media -- the camera, the fans, the paparatzies. She hesitantly closed her emerald tinted eyes, smiled her famous smile, then opened them, only to reveal determination.
" I am here today, not as a Idol, model, or a star -- but as a person who came to apologize for her reckless, selfish actions. For the past 3 years, rumors have been circulating about my relationship towards a fellow --"
Pause ...
...
" -- Acquaintance, Sasuke Uchiha. He is a talented, hardworking and intelligent but never have we shared any mutual connections aside from merely acquaintances."
Flash!
" She's lying!"
Click
"I'm not convince."
Sakura slowly glanced at Naruto, slowly her eyes softend.
" I sincerely apologize to Uchiha-sanfor publicly announcing any kind of relationship between us, I'm sorry that, because of my --"
Sakura took a deep shaky breath.
" Hmmmmmmmmmm"
" —actions, you have suffered a great deal of pain, of which I deserve."
She slowly raised her shaking hands to wipe the clear liquid covering her vision as she continued, " Orochimaru-san, I am so sorry that you and your company have suffered a great deal of lost because of my foolishness."
Sakura turned her head towards Tsunade and smiled a bitter smile.
"GASP!"
Tsunade instantly stiffened, looking at the pink haired rosette with panic and horror on her brown eyes.
Clickk
" What's going on?"
Flash!
" I was greedy for attention, I wanted everyone to notice me and in the end brought one of your favorite pupil into trouble Orochimaru-san."
Naruto had a surprised look carved over his face as what he was hearing was not expected. People backstage panicked, telling the star to stop her speech, Sakura chose to ignore them instead.
" Minna-san!, because of my anguish for my actions, I have caused hurt towards the people most dear to me, ...I believe, -- like many other people in this room –"
Sakura paused once again, covering her quivering lips from the nation's view.
Clickk
" I'm quitting the entertainment industry" and with that Sakura calmly walked off the podium.
Clickkkk
" What!, she's running away?!"
" Sakura-chan!" yelled a shocked Naruto.
Flashhh
" Hahahah, she must be embarrassed!"
Naruto hurriedly chased after the pink haired girl.
CLICKKK
...
FLASHHHHH
"This is too funny!"
" SAKURA-CHHANN!"
CLICKK!
" What a liar!, good riddance."
Slowly, Sakura turned around , pink locks of hair scattered around in the air, tears streaming down her face evidentially.
" Tell Orochimaru, I did it."
" Saku--" He tried again.
Pause
FLASHH
" Naruto, -- I have no more power".
" Sakura-chan" Naruto whispered, his fist turning into balls.
Click!
Flashh!
" I hope I never see her again!"
She smiled her famous smile.
" -- to face those people."
Author's Note
A/N -I started a new fic, though I haven't updated any of my other ones. I don't have any excuse to why I don't update-- but I reeaaaallly tried my best in this story. I got the whole plot under-control!
Naruto seems a little mean in this story, don't you think?
Hmmm, Sakura seems to be a little cry-baby too! But trust me, she will throw one heck of a fight because she's Sakura Harunoo!! Sasuke didn't even appear in this chapter. Oh well!
I'll type the second chapter right away!
