Hey you guys, thanks for being interested in my fic. This story was done today and it took thirty minutes. I was so bored at home today, cause today is a day off at school and work which is very rare. But I went through all the DVD's I have and hey, I saw 'Cowboy Bebop'. I love that show. Well I was watching the last episodes and I heard that song, and it just clicked. This song would go perfect for a Sasuke and Sakura fic. I know its short and a bit drabble-ish but I wanted to post it and… TA-DA it's here. So I hope you all enjoy.


Been a fool, been a clown

Lost my way from up and down

And I know, yes I know

And I see it in your eyes

That you really weren't surprised at me at all

Not at all

And I know by your smile it's you.

Don't care for me, don't cry

Let's say goodbye, Adieu.

It's time to say goodbye, I know that in time

It will just fade away, it's time to say goodbye.

I stand alone, and watch you fade away like clouds

High up and in the sky

I'm strong and so cold

As I stand alone

Goodbye, so long, Adieu.

Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories

And now you've gone

I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, Adieu.

My love for you burns deep

Inside me, so strong

Embers of time we had

And now here I stand lost in a memory

I see your face and smile.

Emily Bindiger, 'Adieu'

Lyrics by Brian Richy


"Why are you here?"

Sasuke's question lingered around the cold, cool air stood dauntingly around them, while the rain echoed off the concrete only to bounce creating a heavenly faded mist below their feet. But the sound of the humming lingered about, loitering within the air itself.

"I'm just out for a stroll," Sakura answered, looking back at him as she said it. She moved gracefully through the harbor, the small click of her heels just blending into the tempo of the slow dying rain fall.

Sasuke was at a standstill, hands at his sides looking refined as ever. After a second or two, he realized that feature still looked familiar, same look from that night years ago. Her eyes were still as radiant as before, the way she had her eyes fixated on him, mixed along with a scent of repugnance and prestige, decisive and collected. Sasuke stepped away from the pillar.

Gravitating towards her figure, he kicked a plank of a used-to-be bench out of his way, sending it skidding across open floor and onto the edge of the docks, falling into the shore.

"Sakura," Sasuke replied, more to himself than anything else.

Sakura stood, feeling compelled to hold on to her umbrella touching each one of the ripples of the handle as if they all held some special purpose. She turned her face to look beyond the horizon watching the rays of sunlight seep through the storm clouds creating a serene atmosphere of bright orange's and pinks while the black clouds subsided. Sakura set aside her umbrella and rang out the remaining water on top. The rays of the setting sun had tinted her eyes to make them have a jade tinge to them. Although her transformation of color was brief, Sasuke decided that jade-Sakura was much more fitting to her character, but just as lovely.

"Are you going to convince me to go back with you?"

"Do you want to come back with me?" she inquired.

She looked then. Her eyes flickered up from the splintered bench before her and settled on him. Tiny ribbons of pink and purple streaming in from the now white clouds that glowed the skies were caught in the green of her eyes, turning them into magical, gleaming crystal balls that he could only hope saw into his future, since that was something he couldn't do for himself.

"You've been following me and my companions,"

"You're getting easier to track down." Sakura smiled lopsided.

"Why are you here?" he asked again.

Sakura had set a frown upon her face but never glanced away from him. "I wanted to see you again."

He stayed unfazed by her words, but his heart skipped a beat and it hurt. He sighed, strolling over to her. "Go home Sakura, you have no business here,"

Sakura had a seat on one of the still-existing benches that lined on the sea shore. "I know, Sasuke. But, I don't know what else to do. I've tried, I tried so hard to forget about you and move on, but I can't. I still love you Sasuke-kun." She said straightforwardly. "Besides, it's not like we're delaying anything right now."

A couple leftover wood chips rattled over the floor as Sasuke scooted them beneath some debris with the rounded tip of his shoe.

"Why?" he asked. It was plain and simple. On approaching, he sat next to her watching as the sun began to set.

"Why what?"

"Why is it that you still care?" he asked, having the word 'care' have so much of a significance to it, and so, he refused to use the word 'love' because he knew if he did, he'll convince himself the more a reason to go back with her.

With a light grin, Sakura's head tilted downward and she gazed into the glare of the sun that radiated through the ripples and the waves of a multi-colored ocean.

"You always amused me." Sakura beamed through the rainbows streaking her face. She smiled. And it was the most beautiful piece of art from Mother Nature.

Sasuke chuckled quietly and ran a hand through his spiked up tresses, slightly shaking his head.

"Is that all." He asked bemused.

Sakura laughed. "No, I just said that to get a reaction out of you," she grinned, her attention still on the ocean. "Still, that's just one of the many qualities I love about you."

Inside, he smiled. He always had the liking to her because in truth, she always seemed to amuse him as well.

"Will you come back?" she asked hopefully after the long yet comforting silence.

"No," he answered with a bit more weight pulling down on his heart. His hands rested on the edge of the bench when he pushed himself up and his spine straitened to his full height. "We need to make an official closure, we need to say goodbye."

With a flurry of pink, her head and whipped around to face him, her features all soft and muted and sacred. She glowed right here and now, and Sasuke thought that perhaps it was possible that he could tell her he loved her too.

She stood, but kept her gaze on him as her eyes began to gloss over, hiding the pain behind her eyes. She put a smile on her façade and understood but her mind thought differently.

"Why?" she whimpered, refusing the tears to spill out.

He looked down and smiled, stretching out his right arm and burying his fingers into her locks, pulling her toward him in an embracing hug.

He still remembered the smell of her hair, vanilla- mixed with the mist of the rain moments ago. And the feel, was like soft silk easily going through his fingers.

"Because I need to," he whispered. His lips moved forward lightly pressed against her forehead enjoying the feeling of her skin touching his. The more a reason of needing to be away from her. "It just always looks like I love you from here."

Her eyes widen by a fraction as her tears spilled out onto his chest and her grip on his harori. They stayed that way as if time has stopped and it was eternal.

He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead before letting go of her.

She smiled up at him as her tears resolved.

"Goodbye," she added, "For now."

Sasuke frowned. He knew that's what she'll say. It was typical of her to do so. It was goodbye for now, but perhaps he will see her again. But for now, she would only have to be a memory.

"Yeah," he said, turning away from her and moving toward a darkened dock. "It must be this goddamn setting."


There. It's finished, I'm still new to this so be nice. Please review though regardless. I enjoy making new fic's and I would like to continue.

Oh and don't sue. I like 'Naruto', and the song 'Adieu' but there not mine. Duh.

I love you all.
