Cherry Pop Electric

"There you are sweet lips, pretty in pink no more. So I'll be going now. I'll let Devlin know you're all set and be on my way." Cesar slowly stood up and admired his work.

Sakura (Cherry) was a beautiful girl, too bad that the business was slowly starting to get to her. He saw it in every other pop singer he worked with; eventually she too would burn out. The public loved her and she obeyed the labels every whim, going as far as posing in skimpy underwear for a well known men's magazine.

He'd been there from the beginning she was broken then too. Somewhere deep inside he had hoped that maybe money would fix her up, but that too only made things worse. The first year she was shy and refused to do anything that made her feel uncomfortable. She had requested for her hair to be colored blonde, she claimed that blonde suited her better… In truth her pink locks made her look innocent, and would have worked better for her.

The second year she began losing more weight and had picked up drinking along with a few cigarettes her and there. That year she also started having odd shifts in her moods, on screen and in the studio she was fine, but off screen she wasn't. The label decided it was best for her to see a doctor, and that's when the pills came into play. Even Mina and Cesar didn't know what kinds of drugs they had started giving her but she took them whenever she was feeling upset or unwell, which was every day.

The third year was no different, of course more and more bottles of pills began to appear on her dresser. This year was no different but he had found out a few things about: her now that was usually dazed and unfocused. She was a once a medic-nin, she had great potential from what she said, and was once to be married.

"You know… I would have been married by now, had I not left. He really loved me, but I couldn't love him the way he loved me. I loved another and had my heart broken when he went off and married my best friend, I should have married him after all. Where do you think I'd be? Maybe I'd have little blue eyed kids with cute little whiskers just like him. Cesar…" Sakura's glazed over dim green gems met his own green eyes.

"You're hairs done. Do you need any help—"

"The rooms spinning, did I already shoot the video? I forget— every set looks the same."

She looked lovely in her short black dress and knee highs; glitter glistened off her pearl white skin, rosy cheeks from too much liquor and beautiful expensive rings on each finger. To him she looked like a fairy and would soon be shooting her next music video "If It's Alright."

"Here let me help you to the set Sakura." Slowly helping her up to her feet, Cesar proceeded to help her to the set.

It was then that he vowed to help her, because she would be the last celebrity that he'd watch burn out. If he couldn't help her out in his own way, he'd find her family or friends and let them know…

"Yeah sure…"Her slow response brought Cesar back from his memories of her.

"Look sugar; lay off the booze for today. You have guest." And with a wink and a nod Cesar made his way out of the 'blondes' life forever.

Inner you— think that maybe being blonde isn't all that fun.

"Well you know outer you likes being blonde, fuck. The rooms spinning…"

We're drunk—

"No we are not, now where the hell are my pills. My headache is only getting worse… doctor prescribed and legal. Sure to be found in my 300 dollar purse."

CHA!

"And the Hokage thought we'd have trouble bringing her back."

Wait is that Sasuke? That good for nothing—

And then everything faded to black.

"Sasuke you bastard, you didn't have to knock her out!" Naruto's voice filled the blackness and Sakura wondered if she had actually overdosed for once.

"Really you two, you never change. Naruto it's best if she's knockout in this condition—" Kakashi's serious voice soon joined Naruto's in Sakura's now soon fading black world.

"You guys… I really hope I overdosed… otherwise I know I'm going to have a rude awakening." Sakura's last words silenced the three men crowding around her.

She looked lovely still all in white, passed out on her white bed, in her white room, rosy cheeks and red lip stick.

"She's still annoying." One could only guess whose response that was.

CHERRY: POP ELECTRIC

Review by Dane S.

The lovely blonde's new album is sure to sell out the minute it hits the stores. Every song is full of life and is sure to keep the party going. With her newest single already out being played on radio stations everywhere it's only a matter of time before her new music video is out.

The album is called Pop Electric, the title fits perfect seeing as every song is filled with electricity and is sure to keep fans wanting more.

The only problem is …where is Cherry? Her label is not commenting on the pop stars recent disappearance from the public eye, she hasn't done any promotional appearance for her album and rumor has it she hasn't even started shooting her new video.

Don't worry the minute we find out YOU find out.

Here to update you 24/7!

Where am I? Sakura asked herself as she slowly started to wake up. She knew she was lying down somewhere and by the smell of it and feels of it, she knew she wasn't home.

I'm going to go with, not at home.

"Smart ass…" Sakura inwardly groaned and decided that now would be a good time to finally open her eyes.

The first thing she noticed was that she in fact was no longer at home. The second thing she noticed was that she was currently in what looked like a hospital room. And the third thing she noticed was Shikamaru sitting next to her bed, obviously annoyed.

"I'll go inform the Hokage that you're awake." He stood up and began making his way towards the door.

"Wait! How did I get here, and how long have I been here?"

He slowly turned to her, his dark eyes bearing into her own. He had changed over the years, he looked older for sure, still wore his hair in its signature hair style, but he had changed, and she couldn't pin point exactly how.

"I've been told to tell you nothing, and to inform the Hokage that you're awake the minute you wake up." And with that he disappeared into the hospital hallway leaving Sakura alone in a hospital located in the one placed she rather not be.

I know I'm taking forever with this story.
