I'm back with the last part of my New Year's story!
Please review this time; I only had one story alert from anime-naruto-rox-16! At least I got some hits:)
I forgot to mention in the first chapter that Sakura and Sasuke are almost 23 years old in this story, and if you haven't figured it out, they were

Let's just say the lunch was… fine.
Until some psycho by the name of Karin Soma dared me to kiss Sasuke like there's no tomorrow. Well, sure I kissed him a lot more passionately (nothing else happened, I swear!) in high school, but we're over after something I don't even remember; I forgot what happened almost four years and eight months ago.
"You've done a stage- kiss this morning, and you probably had to suck up your pride for that," she reasoned.

In public. Karin pouted.
"Fine, but you owe me a picture of you two together okay?"
"Deal."

"This is MTV Live in Tokyo, Japan, ad we got something special for you tonight on New Year's Eve. When we welcome 2008, we'll be debuting Sakura Haruno's new music video for 'Be Your Girl.'" The audience screamed and waited for the last ten seconds to arrive.

The big screen showing MTV on a building switched to show a rosette woman with emerald eyes with a mike in her hands and her accompanists to her sides. She started to sing:
Baby, I wanna be your girl
Baby, all I need is you
(Scene switch) Sakura's walking along a path, and she's holding hands with Sasuke. The rosette wore a black shirt with a cherry on the bottom left corner, cargo pants, and brown boots. Sasuke wore a plain navy blue shirt, black pants with a silver chain dangling fro it, and black sneakers. Sakura looked over to Sasuke and sang:
Anna ni mou soba ni ite mo
Konna ni mou ai sarete mo
(scene switch) Sasuke was sitting on the roots of a tree with Karin leaning on his shoulder. On the other side is Sakura standing and leaning on the tree. Tears started to fill her eyes as she sang:
Jikan wa mikata shite kurezu ni
Anata no kanojo ni narenai atashi
(SS) Sakura was in her original outfit (A/N: look at the previous chapter, the first outfit I described) singing:
Sore demo ii tte nando mo omotta
Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo
Sore ja iya datte nando mo naiteru "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Uso demo kiyasume demo atashi dake tte itte
(SS) Sakura and Sasuke were in their school uniforms sitting on a wooden bench. They kissed when this verse was playing:
KISU no masui kirete itaku naru
Anata wa mou kaecchau no?
Sasuke left and Sakura watched him hug Karin. Sakura closed her eyes and sang:
Koko de namida wa hikyou datte
Ha wo kuishibatte gaman shite iru yo
(SS) The rosette was in her room with a journal. She sang the chorus written in the journal.
Sore demo ii tte nando mo omotta
Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo
Sore ja iya datte nando mo naiteru "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Uso demo kiyasume demo
(SS) It was back with Sasuke and Sakura walking. She seemed like she was screaming the following in Sasuke's ear:
Ne, onegai
Atashi no naka wa anata dake
Ai shite iru no wa atashi dake tte itte
(SS) The guitarists showed off while the rosette walked around the two. One of them even gave Sakura his guitar for her to play. The rosette walked back up to the mike and sang the following:
Hoshii mono wa hitotsu dake tada
Anata no zenbu ga hoshii na
(SS) Sakura was back at the tree, Sasuke on the other side, and sang the following:
Kono michi no saki ni matte iru sekai
Nigezu ni tsudzuki wo kono me de mite mitai
Tatoe kore ijou kidzutsuku to shite mo "I'm gonna be your girl!"
Zettai tomerarenai kono kimochi dakara ne
(SS) Sakura was in her bedroom, looking at the pictures of Sasuke and her.
Sore demo ii tte nando mo omotta
Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo
Sore ja iya datte nando mo naiteru "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Uso demo kiyasume demo
(SS) Sakura was with her guitarists in her park and sang, with tears falling from her eyes:
Atashi dake tte itte
(SS) Sakura was facing Sasuke on the tree.
Baby, baby
I wanna be your girl
They hugged
"baby, I wanna be your girl" baby, baby
"baby, all I need is you" all I need is you
(SS) Sakura had tears spilling in her eyes with her guitarists in tow while the music faded out.

It was a good idea to debut Sakura's video on New Year's. It received massive playback on the radio; also, the video has been watched on TV, Youtube, Veoh, etc more than Mika Nakashima's "Glamorous Days" or the Japanese Naruto episodes!
"Be Your Girl" landed #1 in the Oricon charts (the Japanese Billboard Top 100) for 3 months straight and stayed in the Oricon for a long time.
If you were one of the first to buy her single, you would have probably received a sticker and some pictures taken during the shooting, including the picture Karin took of Sasuke and Sakura sitting on the wooden bench with Sakura leaning on her ex's shoulder like they were actually an item.
Not that the singer, her co-actor, and the fan- girls and boys minded.
Right.
That picture, though, couldn't be missed in eastern Asia, and in the conventions in English speaking countries.
The objects of the picture couldn't ignore it, either. They saw each other more. They even caught up with some of their high school buddies in a five year reunion.
Naruto was the same ramen loving idiot who was in their gym class.
Kakashi- Sensei still reads Jiraiya's "novels." He even wears the same mask; no one saw what was under his mask.
Tenten now left her hair down, but for this occasion, she put it up in her Dao- style buns. She can still shoot a bulls- eye a hundred yards away.
Neji still kept his hair long, and is dating Tenten. He's co- leading the family company with his cousin, Hinata.
Hinata is the shy, blushing young woman who got the courage to ask Naruto out on a date.
Ino is still the shopaholic with the mouth to gossip. Shikamaru still had the brains, and is dating Ino, the woman he calls, "Troublesome."
The only two people that changed so much are Sakura and Sasuke.

"Ne, Sakura," an onyx eyed man started. They were at the wooden bench the picture and the onscreen was taken.
"Yes, Sasuke?" the rosette asked.
"Remember the last time we talked?" he asked.
"Uh-huh," she answered.
"Is there still time for you to be my girl?"
Sakura gasped; her face was almost the same shade as her hair. She recovered and smiled.
"I was waiting for that for five years," she whispered into his ear. Then, she hugged him, which he returned gratefully. Tears started to form in her eyes.
"I love you, I've always loved you, I'll love you forever," Sakura declared.
"I couldn't stop loving you since we met. Not even our break- up kept me from doubting you'll be back," Sasuke replied.
The two separated, and the night sky of his eyes met the green spring of hers. They started to lean towards each other, and kissed like there was no tomorrow.
(Sakura's POV)
Now do you understand the songs I wrote? They were all for him to listen and come back to me.
Nothing X-rated happened after that kiss! I swear! I'm back to being his girl. The only one he trusted, loved, and talked with more than four words.
There's no way I'll let someone else have him.
By the way, how does Uchiha Sakura sound?
Score! I finished this on New Year's Eve! XD
Sorry for Sasuke's OOC-ness. This is modern Tokyo.
Sakura Haruno: I never sing Chieko Kawabe's "Be Your Girl." Hime- chan and I don't own the song.
Sax- HIme: Thank you Haruno- chan! That song is also the ending for Elfen Lied.
Anyways, please review! I love to hear the comments!
Happy New Year, everyone!
hrt, Sakura- Hime
