Morning

Sakura awoke a blissful dream, "Sasuke?" she asked scanning the room. 'That's right he has his own room' she thought as she got up. She went over to his room to find it clean and tidy, where is he? She thought.

"Sasuke!" She called out around the house but no one answered. Then she noticed a note on the refrigerator.

' Sakura, I have to go pick up some things and meet some people, I'll be back before 3pm don't make a mess and try to eat anything you can make, be careful, Sasuke.'

I guess he can't be with me all the time…. , She thought. She found some milk and cookies and decided it was good enough for breakfast.

An hour later she spotted his guitar and began to play it, her curiosity grew. There was a note book next to the guitar and she opened it. The notes were somehow familiar to her, she didn't know why but she began to remember someone playing guitar in front of her, and teaching her as well.

She placed her figures in the right notes and picked up the pick, she began to strum the guitar. The sound came out as an uplifting tone to her, she didn't understand why, but she knew that it was a melody that filled her heart when she was young.

She continued to play and before she knew it she was singing along with words.

(A/N: when the words are Italicized and Underlinedthat means Sakura is singing.)

I can finally see

That you're right there beside me

I am not my own

For I have been a new

Please don't me go

I desperately need you!

The words seem to just flow out her lips as if she has been singing the words all her life. It brought a joy to her heart that she hasn't felt in so long.

I am not my own

For I have been a new

Please don't let me go

I desperately need you

Sasuke entered the room before she began singing; he stood there in shock with what he heard. Sakura continued to sing and something about her voice was pulling on his heart strings. There was a memory somewhere in his mind that he repressed, it was crawling its way out but he didn't know why. She continued to sing and he moved a little closer each time, as if she had some invisible strings to his heart he had no idea he had, and she was pulling him closer to her.

By the time she stopped singing and playing all together he was right in front of her.

"S-Sasuke," she said as her face flushed red, "O-Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to touch your guitar I … I ..I"

"It's ….fine …" He said still not being able to gain his full consciousness.

She gently put his guitar down and stood up.

"Where did you learn how to play?" He asked.

"I … don't remember." She said truthfully.

He was even more shocked she could play and not technically know how to play.

"Would you like to …. join my band?" He asked but regretted the moment it left his mouth.

"Really?" She asked excited. "That would be great!"

"U-Umm… but you have to go through auditions first… you have to be better than the other people who are also trying to get the spot in."

She nodded her head, "I will do my best!" she said happily, "When are the auditions?"

"Tonight…. In two hours." He said and saw her face lit up. He didn't want to tell her not try out for the band, but he also didn't want to tell her to try out for the band.

"Give me the address and I'll be there." He wrote it down on a piece of paper and she went off to her room to get ready.

"I'll wait for you at the auditions." He said and Sakura replied with a simple 'ok.'

Two hours later

The auditions have already started and Sasuke had explained to the guys the situation he got himself into.

"Seems though." Naruto, his best friend told him.

"Ok up next Karin." Shikamaru said calling off the name from the list.

Sasuke had no interest in hearing her sing, but had no choice in the matter.

Karin left everyone with their jaws hanging, she wasn't amazing or even good but she was ok, and no one expected it.

Shikamaru cleared his throat, "Thanks you. Ok the last one, Sakura." Shikamaru called out her name and she stepped out of the curtains.

Sasuke's eyes widened and his heart began to pound against his chest.

She changed her cloths, She looked like an actual band member, that made Sasuke unable to look away from her.

"Wow, you never told me she was this hot." Naruto whispered to Sasuke.

"Umm… I'm going to sing a song I really liked."

That was not a good impression on them because she didn't even name the artist or even the name of the song she was about to sing.

She cleared her throat a bit, closed her eyes, and began.

When I was darkness out of time

My lips trembling

In a hated corner, I cry

There's no way we can grow apart, hold on

This kiss that makes me long for it

A broken promise can't heal me

Nobody can save me

God, please, just one thing….

I am somehow lost and torn, my love

I need your love

I'm a broken rose

My tears can ashame your soul

The passion I'm gonna call my life

I need your love

I'm a broken rose

Oh, baby, heal me from throws of pain

Your smile lies…..

Save me just for me

I wanna need your love

I am a broken rose

I wanna need your love

Everyone's jaw fell to the floor, Even her own competition where clapping madly for her.

Sasuke though knew this was mad news for him. How could he deal with having a band member that he couldn't stay away from, or even look away from?

"T-Thank you…." Shikamaru said almost speechless.

"If you would all be so kind as to wait outside, we will announce who we will choice in a moment." Naruto said.

All the girls walked out.

"It has defiantly has to be Sakura! Did you hear her voice?" Naruto stated his option first.

"I agree, with her it will be no problem making it big." Neji said.

"I guess." Shikamaru said.

"Sure." Sai said.

They all stared at Sasuke, but he just looked down.

"Come one teme! You can't honestly tell me you don't think she has an amazing voice!" Naruto said as Sasuke wouldn't say anything.

"Sure, I guess we have no other choice." He said but there was a pain in his voice that no one else noticed.

"Alright ladies, we would like to thank all of you for coming to show us what you got. But out new singer is Sakura." Everyone but Karin clapped.

"Congratulations." Sasuke told her, she heard pain in his voice and it made her sad.

They went out to celebrate and everyone was getting drunk.

"Don't you drink Sakura?" Naruto said too tipsy to care about Sasuke glaring at him.

"No … I never drank before." She said innocently.

"Well, start now." The boys encouraged.

She got the shot and drank it down like a pro. They all got quite when she placed the small glass cup down.

"How do you feel?" Neji asked.

"I feel the same." She said kind of confused.

The all began to laugh. "Looks like we have a professional drinker over here."

She began to laugh with them.

Sasuke and Sakura began to walk home together and Sakura decided it was the right time to ask.

"Sasuke …," She started.

"Yes?"

"Do you hate the idea of me being in your band?" She asked feeling sad.

"No, no!" he said putting his hands up defensively, "I don't hate it, it's just…. I don't want things to get weird between us is all."

"What do you mean between us? Do you not like me?"

"No I like you…" More than I should, he thought.

"Look don't worry about it ok? It will all work out." Sasuke said.

"Ok." Sakura said smiling at him.

It was an awkward silence as they began to walk again.

"So… now that you are in the band I think I should get to know you a little better." He said trying to start conversation. "How about we start with you, how was your life before you came over here looking for fame?"

"Like hell." I said bluntly. Something about the way I said it made his brows furrow in confusion.

"It's a long story," I said avoiding his eyes.

"I got time." He said, I looked up to see if he was being serious. I haven't gotten his since of humor yet.

For some reason I felt I could trust him. "How about I tell you something about me, and you tell me something about you? Fair trade don't' you think?" I said casually.

He looked almost amused in a way and a smirk spread across his lips. I couldn't help but stare for some reason. "Seems fair enough. How about we go get some food and take it home so we could eat"?"

Just then my stomach growled in agreement, "I think I could go for some food." I said letting out a weird sound from my mouth. I found out it was laughter. I looked up at Sasuke to see something sparkling in his eyes. I thought I saw happiness in a way, but he looked away before I was able to confirm my thought.

It couldn't be….

We went to get a couple of burgers and went home. Home, I liked the sound of that.

"So let's start with your family." He said.

I laughed nervously. "That's not the best place to start… but I'll see what I can do." He stared at me with an expression I couldn't make out.

Sasuke's POV

I stared at her intently and I didn't know why, she began to talk and I made sure to remember everything. "I don't know who my real parents are; they probably didn't want something as ugly as me so they gave me away." She said. I made a face at how she said the word 'something' but she didn't see.

"I was taken into a house by some really bad people. They had about 15 other kids they took in. But they didn't want any of us. They only did it for the money, For some reason they wanted to keep me more than anyone else, I guess for some reason having me gave them more money." She shrugged as if she didn't care, but her eyes gave her away.

"They would barely feed us, once every 3 days if we were good. If not they wouldn't feed us at all until we behaved how they wanted us to." My hands became fists.

"We couldn't use the shower in the house, they said the hot water 'belonged to them' so we had to take showers in the river even when it was cold, some of them died and they made us burry them. I guess it was survival of the fittest." She laughed darkly, it didn't suit her at all.

Her expression suddenly became terrified, in pain, like someone was sticking needles in her.

"What's wrong?" I asked without wanting to, the way her face was I just wanted to reach out and comfort her, I fought again my own will to keep myself from touching her.

"M-My… stepfather… t-tried to…." Her face made her look so fragile, I was slowly losing the battle with my will.

"H-He…. Tried to … r-r-…rape me." She said almost in a whisper, and she could no longer hide anything. Her eyes became blood shot and tears became to roll down madly. Her lower lip began to quiver and I could see she was still trying to convince me she was ok.

"Sakura…."

Sakura's POV

He said my name with so much love and protectiveness, I never heard someone say my name like that. Before I could even think his hands were holding me and an unbreakable hold. That set me overboard. I began to sob and cry my heart out to this guy I barely knew.

"I-I-I-I … " I couldn't seem to get the words out right. "I hate him!" I finally managed.

"I know I know." He began to chant as he tried to comfort me. "I do too." His voice held such hate it was hard to doubt it.

I wrapped my arms around him and I had no intention of letting him go, he could see that.

"Sasuke…?"

"Yes Sakura?" His voice was kind of hoarse.

"I … don't want to sleep alone, I'm afraid I'll have another nightmare…plea-" Before I could finish he h=tighten his hold on me.

"Of course, you don't even have to ask, you can stay with me tonight." He said brushing his hand through my hair trying to calm me down. It worked.

"Come on." He said as he released me from his hug, and I kept my arms wrapped around his waist. He saw I had no intention of letting him go. He unhooked my hands from his waist and held both of my hands in his two big ones.

He led me to his room and closed the door behind us.

He placed me on his bed, which was queen size, and wrapped his hands around me again, and I closed whatever distance there was between us, and laid my head on his chest. He let me cry whatever tears were left on him and excepted my pain without complaint.
