Sakura sat quietly on a bench looking up at the distant stars sighing softly to her self when that oh so taunting love song egged her on. Standing up suddenly she sighed looking to the ground, "Sasuke!" She said breathlessly her heart pounding.

/Standing in the shadows of love,
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me?
Standing in the shadows of love?
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come/

Apparently she didn't realize someone was behind her, as she stood there swaying to the rhythm in her mind.

"I wanna run, but there's no where to go. 'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know. Without your love, the love I need, it's the beginning of the end for me." She started to sing twirling slightly eyes closed pink hair flowing as the petals of sakura blossoms flowered around her. "Oh…" She swayed a little more wander towards the Sakura tree a pare of dark eyes following the movement listening. What caught his attention was that Sakura was outside in the first place. Hands stuffed in his pockets he watched memorized quietly wondering about it.
"'Cause you've taken away, all my reasons for living'. When you pushed aside, all the love I've been giving. Now wait a minute..." Sakura said to no one as she sang eyes closed still hands clasped before her then separating as she danced jumping up on the bench sweeping off to land and twirl.

To Sasuke, she was…amazing.

"Didn't I teach you right, now, baby, didn't I? Didn't I do the best I could, now, didn't I? So don't you leave me…" She sang holding the note a little setting both hands on her chest sighing deeply.

/Standing' in the shadows of love.
I'm getting' ready for the heartaches to come.
Don't you see me,
standing in the shadows of love? /

Sasuke debated whether or not to show himself but knowing the song wasn't over He smiled to himself- though in the shadows and kept quiet watching leaves flowing around him and Sakura when she started again, sounding on the verge of tears.

"Just tryin' my best, to get ready for the heartaches to come. All alone I'm destined to be, with misery my only company. It may come today, and it might come tomorrow, but it's for sure, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow." The pink haired girl sniffled slightly swallowing the tears. Telling herself sternly that crying over this wouldn't help and continued to sing her heart out, unaware of the listening Uchiha behind her.

"Now, don't your conscience kinda bother you? How can you watch me cry, after all I've done for you? Now hold on a minute. Gave you all the love I had, now, didn't I? When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn't I?"

She sighed, so was Naruto, Sasuke! She wanted to cry out then, but held that thought in as she swayed rounding the tree walking in the grass to pick up a fallen flower that started to wilt. The small blossom in her hands the wind rustling the petals.

/Standing in the shadows of love
gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
I'm tryin' not to cry out loud.
You know, cryin', it ain't gonna help me now. /

She tipped her fingers forward the flower fell from in and blew into the night, the lamp post her only source of light.
"What did I do to cause all this grief? Now, what'd I say to make you want to leave? Now wait a minute. I gave my heart and soul to you, now, didn't I? And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?" She sniffled again as The Uchiha rounded where he was hiding and slowly made his way to her silently wondering about this. "Sasuke.." She choked out looking up her sea foam green eyes gazing into the night sky- cloudless.

/I'm standing in the shadows of love.
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
Hope to see you,
standing in the shadows of love. /


"Tryin' my best, to get ready for the heartaches to come Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love..."
Sakura ended on a melancholy note sighing with a shaky resonate. Then suddenly the sound of Sasuke's voice jolted her eyes wide.

"Sakura…" Her breath hitched in her throat cheeks becoming red as she slowly turned her head to him, muttering his name under her breath. "Don't cry anymore…alright?" He said softly stepping forward his stoic gaze faltering when he smiled at her. She felt her heart burst with emotion then both hands holding her chest afraid of a heart attack.

"I don't mean to cause so much grief." He said finally and she'd had enough.

"Sasuke!" She cried out loudly and flung herself at him crying with a loud sob into his shoulder both arms around him. Stumbling slightly he sighed and hugged her back eyes going to half mass. This was a start…. They both realized.

This was a start.
