Hello! After the reviews and some time (and the story keeping bugging me) I decided to continue this story! I don't if it'll be good so... please give suggestion or anything! Reviews (no flame please) are always good. I'll try to update regularly but I can't promise... Again, this chapter is in Naruto's POV. And I forgot to say it's an AU. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own the manga/anime Naruto.

Chapter 2
I woke up and it was already noon. She was already gone. I sighed. I knew she wouldn't stay. I knew really well but I still hoped…
I jumped out of the bed and took the first clothes I could find in my closet. I did the same routine I did every morning (well, it wasn't morning anymore but anyway) and went to Sasuke's house. Why, you asked me? I seriously don't know.
After everything that bastard did to me, I still didn't understand why I was still his friend. Ero-sennin often said it was because I was too forgiving. Maybe he was right.
I didn't even bother to knock at the door and entered the little house my "friend" lived in, alone.
"Sasuke? You are there?" I screamed as I entered in the kitchen. I hear a girl's scream and before I know it, some girl run next to me and went out the house.
"Way to go, dobe, you scared her." Said Sasuke as he entered the kitchen, in boxers. I rolled my eyes as I opened his fridge.
"Still fooling around?" I asked. "I thought you learned your lesson with Xia and Tenten." I take out milk and a glass.
"Yeah, I learned that fallowing Sakura wasn't the best idea and I shouldn't take an easy girl with a crazy and protective cousin."
"You're such a jerk." I said, without any playful tone like I use too.
"And you are in a bad mood." He stated, taking the glass milk in my hand. I rolled my eyes and take another glass out.
"No kidding." I poured the liquid in the glass and started to drink.
"What happen? Again?"
"Sakura-chan." I only say her name and he grimaced. "I confronted her. About… about everything. But mostly about THE night."
"Yeah… THE night. I…" I know he wanted to apology but Sasuke never been the best in those situation.
"Don't say a thing. I know YOU think with your dick. I just wish to understand what she's thinking." I sighed. "Ero-sennin is right, I'm too forgiving."
"You know what you need?" Sasuke asked, out of the blue. I raised an eyebrow, curious. "Another girl. Don't stay frozen on Sakura. Tonight, Sara is throwing a party. Come with me."
"I can't. I already promised Tenten I'll go to her karaoke night."
"Ok. Than, flirt with Xia or even better, Hinata!"
"Why Hinata-chan is "even better"?" I asked. Sasuke gave me a "you're kidding" look. "What?"
"Dense dobe." He said in a sigh. "Anyway, want to play a game?"
"You still didn't learn your lesson of last time?" I said with a smirk.
"You'll see."
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
After an afternoon of gaming with Sasuke, I arrived at the karaoke place. I was late but I knew they didn't care.
I saw a blonde girl waiting in front of the room Tenten had took.
"Ino-chan? What are doing?" I asked. She turned to look at me. She looked scared.
"Well, Tenten invited me but… I'm not sure. I mean, I wasn't the best girl those last years…" I smile at her. Without thinking, I put an arm around her shoulders and opened the door.
"Look what I found in front of the door!" I said happily.
"INO!" screamed Xia. "I was scared you wouldn't come! I'm soooooo happy!" She hugged the blonde girl and I sat down. I wasn't the only one who was forgiving.
Ino-chan started to cry when she saw that everyone had forgiven her. A heartwarming scene. If only Sakura-chan…
I shook my head, trying to not think about her.
"Ok, Ino," started Tenten, "Xia, Hinata and I needs you." Ino looked at them curious. "We have to show the guys they shouldn't underestimate a girl!"
Ino-chan smiled and the four girls started to sing "Never underestimate a girl" by the girl who plays in High School Musical (I can't remember her name) while Kiba, Neji and I looked at them.
"I was sure, Miss Debut would have the big head." I said, smiling when they finished the song. Tenten glared at me.
"I still have to kill you for telling Ino." She responded.
"Please, you should be screaming everywhere that you're going to debut! I only did it at your place." Tenten scoffed.
"You should know that glamorous things doesn't change me." And she started to sing "Glamorous".
"Where is the girl who didn't like to sing in public?" I asked.
"She got a debut contract." responded Neji, smiling a little. They really make a great couple.
And the evening passed like that, with laughs, jokes and singing. The main attraction had been Tenten and Ino-chan singing "Like a Virgin". Those two were becoming great friends.
It made me happy and yet sad. I couldn't help but think what if Sakura-chan could realize her mistakes and become friend with everyone. Is it a too big wish?
We finished by all go our way. I told Ino-chan that I could do her a lift and after a moment of reflection, she said yes.
At first, we said nothing but after, she asked the question I knew she'd ask.
"How is Sakura?"
"Fine… I guess." I responded in a sigh.
"You guess…?"
"I just don't understand what's going on in her head. If I could… I only want to… I don't know. Seriously, I don't know." She sighed.
"What she did?"
"Like usual. She doesn't want to admit what she did is bad. And I shouted at her."
"And now?" She asked after a moment.
"I don't know. I didn't saw today."
"Do you think…" She waited a moment before continuing. "Do you think she could one day…" She didn't finish but I knew what she wanted to ask.
"We can only wish."
:-:-:-:-:-:
I arrived at home after letting Ino-chan at her house. Ero-sennin and baa-chan weren't since they were in they're "business" trip. Like I didn't know their plans. But those two deserved vacation. They took care of me since so many years…
I entered my room to see Sakura-chan sleeping in my bed only wearing one of my shirts. I could see that she had been crying.
I changed into only baggy pants that I wear to sleep. I lay on the bed, careful to not wake her up. I put an arm around her and closed my eyes.
It was unhealthy. For her and for me. But that all I could do for now.
End of chapter 2
Again, there is a lot of links with "What Life Gives You" but I don't think it's too bad if you didn't read it. Anyway, hope you like it! Review!
