Author's note:

I've been a little busy posting on my other stories so this one didn't really get writing time. But now I have some time so here it is.

As always I own nothing.

This chapter is going to be short because this story is giving me writers block so I'm sorry…hopefully next chapter I'll be able to get back into things and write a longer chappie

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: When It Was Me

Naruto was sitting in the local café with Sakura when he saw a certain raven walk in with a certain brunette. It was just his luck that a song that suits him quite well, Paula DeAnda's "When it Was Me," came on in the café.

He knew exactly how she felt. A stupid girl with long dark hair and green eyes had to go and ruin it all. Okay so maybe it wasn't the girl's fault, but it would be a whole lot easier if she weren't there. 'It's just like him to bring some hot girl, not that I'm jealous or anything, okay well maybe a little.' Naruto thought as he glared at the couple.

Sakura noticed this glare and said, "Naruto, you know he's not really happy with her."

"It sure seems like it," Naruto said as stared at Sasuke. It really didn't seem like it at all, Sasuke wasn't smiling, he was pretty much just looking down at his feet the entire time the girl ordered.

'What does she have that I don't? No, I can't think this; I have to move on from him, I can't be with him. I need to find myself a girl. I have to show him and myself that I don't need him. I have to! But, I don't think I can.' Naruto sighed and realized maybe thinking wasn't the best thing right now.

He saw how whenever Sasuke looked over in his direction, the longhaired girl would turn his face toward her and say something. He wasn't sure what she said, but it was at times like that he wished he could read lips.

Naruto laughed to himself, he remembered making Sasuke shiver when he purred his name. He remembered getting lost in his eyes. Then he frowned, unlike Paula DeAnda's song, he knew exactly what made the fire die. He wanted that fire back, so bad and there really was no denying it. All he could think about was Sasuke, he knew that he shouldn't, but he couldn't help himself.

"Sakura?" he said.

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how, but I'm going to win him back," he told her, sounding very determined.

There more differences between him and the song, one he was not a girl and two the new girl did not make Sasuke smile or laugh. She made him smirk and chuckle there is a difference. Only Naruto could make Sasuke truly smile and laugh, and that made him know he still had a chance, even if it was small, that maybe he shouldn't give up just yet.

He knew he could win the raven back if he showed him that there was still something there worth going for. If he could show him that he knew the girl on his arm was just for show.

It was only the second day that Sasuke had been in town and he was already the center of attention once again. When Aimi wasn't there, there were girls and even a few guys flirting with him, many people wanted the Uchiha. There was only one person he wanted though, the person he could have, but also the one person he promised himself he wouldn't fall for again.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto, only to have Aimi turn his head back toward her and say, "If we are going to work this out, you can not be looking at him, you can not talk to him, try not to even think of him."

"I know," Sasuke said. 'Hell of a lot easier said than done.' A frown graced his pale face as he got his coffee and walked out. He couldn't be in the same room with the blonde it hurt too much.

"Sasuke!" Aimi yelled as she walked out after him.

He stopped and looked at her, "What?"

"What was that about? I thought we were going to stay there and finish," she said.

"I can't," Sasuke said, not looking at her.

"You're never going to love me like you love him, are you?" she frowned.

"No, probably not, but I'm not going to be with him, I'm with you," he replied.

"Why?" she asked trying to find out why he would be with her instead of the blonde man he was in love with.

"I can't," he answered.

"Well you obviously still have feelings for him," she pointed out, annoyed that some guy had Sasuke's heart.

"Listen we're only here for a week, nothing will happen and we'll be able to go back to Tokyo and be fine," he assured her.

"Why don't I believe you?" she asked.

"I don't know, but you should, I promise," Sasuke said, hoping it was a promise he could keep.

"Don't make promises you can't keep," she told him.

"I just, please let's try this," he said.

She looked away, 'He didn't even try to deny the fact that he couldn't keep his promise…but I should give him the chance right?' "Fine, just please stay way from him," she said.

The raven nodded. If only he knew that Naruto's plan wouldn't let him escape the blonde.
