A/N: Okay, this is the fic I'm telling you about. The song fic. The artists are mostly Filipino so don't be surprised. It's a bit hard to look and search for the right song here. But then since I'm a Filipina, I decided to use my country's songs yours truly. Well, I hope you would like this like how you liked my other ones. Full summary would be posted in my profile so please visit. And also the song OST that I used here would also be posted there.
Disclaimer: I do not own them except the surname or so called last name of Tenten. This is also an AU fic so I own the plot and the story flow. I do not own the songs used in this fic and in this chapter. Thank you.

Chapter 1:
Friend of Mine
- ö - ♥ - ö -
- ö - ♥ - ö -
I
I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we ever could be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
But babe is this all we ever could be?
Refrain
You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad
II
I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You are a friend of mine
Now I know friends are all we ever could be
Refrain
You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But the again…
Then again…
Then again, I'm glad

"Sasuke-kun!"
The bubbly pink haired girl, who ran at her top speed, sped through the busy streets of Konoha, trying to be in pace with her best friend and childhood crush (of course she kept it), Uchiha Sasuke. They were both currently studying as juniors at Fiery Leaf University, a school for the rich and famous.
The sixteen year old teen rushed to her seventeen year old best friends' side, ignoring how her dark gray pleated school mini skirt flew up and down from the winds current.
"Sakura." He addressed the teen as she tackled him into a hug to make her stop. Sakura giggled lightly when they made contact and straightening themselves after. They've been friends since she was six and he was seven. Ten long years. Who wouldn't develop such feelings called infatuation, crush and or love to each other especially when both of you belong to the different sexes?
Yep. The ignorant Uchiha Sasuke has this slight crush on our pink haired teen. He wouldn't admit it though, but deep inside, there's something called the scrunching of his stomach, the feeling of butterflies always come to him when he sees his best friend smiling or talking or when they are with each other's company. But when he is always trapped by his other best friend Uzumaki Naruto, he always has a good cover up, 'I only love her as my best friend but not more than that. I already told you, I'm in love with Kin!'. What a good cover up to make his pink haired best friend sad.
"I missed you so much Sasuke-kun!" She declared happily as they made their way towards their school. Yeah, they were still walking even thought both their families are the ones who compete for the top in Konoha. But then, their families hold no grudge to each other. Sasuke sweat drop at her childish attitude, declaring that she missed him. Gosh they've only seen each other at approximately 12 hours 10 minutes and 36 seconds ago.
He held onto her hand, a gesture for them to walk since both of them haven't had any intimate relationships… yet. "Let's go. I don't want to be late." He said as they started to walk to the direction of their school.

They reached their school and immediately release the grip on each others' hand, quite thinking that the others would say they were lovers… which they secretly are but kept on denying it. They made their way towards the tables outside in the school garden, where tons of cherry blossom trees were planted, giving shade to the students.
There on a certain table, sat their friends namely: Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba together with his pet dog, Akamaru, Hyuuga Neji, Kirizawa Tenten, Rock Lee, the Sand exchange students and also siblings, Sabaku Temari, Sabaku Kankuro, Sabaku Gaara and the Sound exchange students, Tsuchi Kin, Abumi Zaku and Kinuta Dosu.
There are also a couple of love teams in their group namely: Naruto and Hinata, Shikamaru and Ino, Neji and Tenten, Kiba and Temari, Kin and Zaku, and last but not the least, Sasuke and Sakura. Although Sasuke, Sakura, Kin and Zaku always as in always deny their feelings towards the other, like what I've said, deep inside, there's a chemistry spark between them.
"Sasuke-teme!" Sasuke's blond obnoxious best guy friend shouted as both of them neared the table. "Dobe." Sasuke addressed Naruto who gave a hurtful look. "Ouch teme! That really hurts ya know! But I have to tell, you and Sakura-chan look really good together! You must court her before anyone else could- YEOUCH!" Naruto then grasped his skull, feeling if there were any cracks in it after Sasuke hit him hard on the head.
"Like what I always tell you before!-…" Sasuke started and Sakura's mind followed Sasuke's voice upon saying the next phrase. 'She's my best friend and nothing more, nothing less! I love her as my best friend!' then she added again mentally, 'I'm in love Kin!' She sighed deeply, gaining the attention of her girl friends. One by one, Tenten, Ino and Hinata, Sakura's most close and best friends, excused themselves from their boyfriends and approached her.
They dragged her to somewhat the farthest place where the others wouldn't hear what they were talking about. "Sakura-chan, are you okay? I'm so sorry if Naruto-kun is putting up this topic again." Hinata said as she held on to Sakura's hand. Yeah, they all know Sakura's depression towards Sasuke when it only comes to the topic about love. Sakura nodded slowly and stared at the grass, her eyes trying to fight the urge to cry.
Ino patted her in her back and offered her a hug, which means 'C'mon, cry on my shoulder'. Sakura accepted the hug and desperately cried her heart out. They also knew about Sasuke crushing on Kin which only known by mostly everybody except Kin herself. The other members of the gang just stared at Sakura; the other not-so-dense was looking at her with pity evident in their eyes while the other dense ones looked at her with a bit of the same look; but for the super-duper-dense ones, just stared at her with a confused look.

The day ended faster than before. No one from their gang bought up the thing about Sasuke crushing and or loving Kin. Temari and Kankuro were not there inside their classroom because they were college students. They were all currently packing their things, readying to go home. Sakura still felt the strong pang of pain in her heart and became worst when Sasuke started to talk to Kin.
Naruto growled under his breath, obviously cursing Sasuke to hell. They all know too that Kin has this big crush on Sasuke and hates Sakura… a lot! But of course Sasuke and Sakura don't know about these things about Kin. Everybody's ears perked up when Sasuke asked the question, everyone like him to ask Sakura…
"Do you want to go out with me?"
That does it. Sakura picked her things up, not wanting to hear more. She gathered everything and sped out of the door, leaving her friends and best friend worried. Kin smirked inwardly, letting her bitchy side take over her. She tilted her head towards Sasuke and gave a lopsided smile.
"Sure."
They all thought that Sakura was out of sight and hearing, but they never did knew that there she was, leaning on the sliding door, softly sobbing her heart out.
- ö - ♥ - ö -
All she needed was her best friends' comfort. All she needs is a shoulder to cry on, mostly a broad shoulder to cry on. But, how could she get her needs if the one she needed most was the one she was crying for?
Maybe the heavens really hated her for the rain has started to pour down pitiful at her, drenching her clothes wet.
"You're so stupid to run alone without me. I should've shielded you with my jacket, but you were so jumpy to go ho-."
"You were talking to Kin! I wouldn't want to 'interrupt' your quality time together." She said sarcastically, with a hint of anger in her voice. Sasuke winced at the tone she used and tried to confront her. "Sak, I-"
"Would you just shut up? I don't want to talk to you!" Then she sprinted away, leaving a bewildered Sasuke behind. "What's wrong with her?" He asked to no one in particular and started to walk to his destination…home. Then out of nowhere, his inner mind or his so called conscience popped out.
'You hurt her feelings.'
What?
"I said, you hurt her feelings'
I know I heard you! But, what do you mean 'hurt her feelings?'
'Are you that dense or just certainly blind?'
What? I don't understand you. Speak clearly.
'Sakura. You hurt her feelings. Deep inside her heart, she loves you.'
I know she loves me as a friend.
'No, not only as a friend, but more than that.'
Huh?
'Gosh! Never mind! You are so dense! You'll find out about it sooner or later. But as for you, it's later. Well, I need to get to sleep, okay? Be nice to Sakura! Ja!'
Wait…!
Conscience is now offline.
Insert sweat drop. Okay, going back to being serious.
Sasuke was really confused by what his conscience just said.
Not only as a friend, but more than that…
Does he mean Sakura is… is… … with him…? 'No. It's impossible. She's my best friend. But, she's still a girl and I'm a boy, we can't hold back our feelings right? It's not bad to fall in love with the person who you trust most and if he / she is your best friend, right?' Sasuke thought.
Right?
