Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the song The Boy Is Mine by Brandy and Monica.
Note: the dialogue is pretty much directly from the lyrics of the song, paraphrased a bit with a few lines taken out because the two girls are having a conversation and the original words wouldn't make as much sense. When Sasuke comes in at the end is the point where the lyrics in the dialogue stop.
I originally posted this a few hours ago as a separate story, but quickly got frustrated with the flames I was getting. Honestly, complaints about SasuNaru not being canon, Naruto being a girl, and Sakura being bashed when those exact warnings were there for all to see not only down in the next paragraph but in the summary of the story before they even clicked it? And another complaining that Sakura was listed as a main character if I was intending to bash her? She is one of the main characters in this chapter and was thus included in the characters section.
Anyway. Unlikable Sakura probably won't appear in too many chapters. She's an integral part of Team 7-to mess that up would just be wrong. There is no Team 7 in this particular chapter, though, and she doesn't know Naruto at all in the beginning, so all she sees is some tramp (in her mind) 'flirting' with the guy she's determined to be with.
Warning: slight AU, SasuNaru, female Naruto, songfic, and Sakura being overconfident, envious, presumtuous, and in denial
Enjoy!
Sakura scowled as she saw Naruto laugh at something Sasuke said, causing the black haired boy's lips to twitch in an almost smile…
Something that Sakura had never managed to get from him before.
Once the Uchiha boy had gone, Sakura walked up to Naruto.
"Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?" the pinkette asked.
"Uh huh, sure." The blonde said with an honest smile, before tilting her head slightly. "You know, you look kind of familiar…"
Sakura frowned slightly. "Yeah, you do to….anyway, I just wanted to know…do you know somebody named…well, you know his name."
Naruto's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Uh, who?"
"Your friend." Sakura sneered at the term. "He was just here."
"Oh!" Naruto smiled. "Sasuke? Well of course I know his name!"
"I just wanted to let you know he's mine." Sakura informed her haughtily, walking away before Naruto could respond.
Neither of them noticed a third girl watching, with blonde hair that was paler than Naruto's.
"No, Sakura." The purple-clad girl said softly. "He's hers."
You need to give it up.
Had about enough.
It's not hard to see
the boy is mine.
When Sakura saw her Sasuke-kun talking to the blonde tramp again, she went up to the pair and yanked the girl away from him by the arm, pulling her to a dark alley before confronting her.
"I think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face." Sakura hissed, Medusa-like snakes coming from her hair. "There is no way you could mistake him for your man, are you insane?"
Naruto's eyes widened as she suddenly understood what the fuss was all about. She reached up, easily removing Sakura's hands from their tight grip around the blonde's shoulders. "I get it. You're jealous of me."
Cause' you're blind if you can't see
that his love is all in me.
Sakura scowled again.
'You're going to get wrinkles if you keep making ugly faces like that.' Naruto thought, bemused.
"I didn't want to say this, but he told me that without me, he couldn't make it through the day. Isn't that a shame?" Sakura asked sweetly.
Naruto raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
Did this chick not know Sasuke at all? No way would he ever say something like that.
"I think you misunderstood." The blonde said wryly, deciding not to point out the girl's obvious lie.
Plus I can't see how he could
wanna take his time and that's all good.
All of my love was all it took.
Sakura glared at the insolent blonde.
Didn't she know that she wasn't good enough for Sasuke-kun, last of the famous Uchiha clan?
As her eyes lit up at thoughts about marrying the other teen and being envied by all of the women in Konoha, doing her part to restore the nearly-extinct clan, Sakura smirked viciously.
"The boy is mine. You need to give it up." She declared. "It's not hard to see the boy is mine."
Naruto shook her head, more than tired of this shit. "I'm sorry that you seem to be confused. If Sasuke 'belongs' to anyone, he belongs to me. 'The boy' is mine."
Sakura laughed mockingly. "Must you do the things you do? Keep on acting like a fool, you need to know it's me not you, and if you didn't know it girl it's true!"
"I think that you should realize and try to understand why he is part of my life." Naruto told the other girl, and seriously, would she ever give up? "I know it's killing you inside."
"You can say what you wanna say, what we have is something you can't take." Sakura taunted. "You can't escape from the truth; I can tell the real from the fake!"
Naruto shook her head slowly, backing away from the pinkette.
Sakura thought that she had won their little 'battle,' until Naruto's head rose and deep blue eyes were suddenly staring into hers.
"You can't destroy this love I've found." Naruto said softly. "Sasuke is mine without a doubt."
Sakura screeched furiously, lunging towards the blonde, only for Naruto to dodge gracefully.
"What makes you think that he wants you?" the blonde continued, still easily dodging the attempted attacks. "I'm the one who—"
"She's the one I love." a voice interrupted.
The two girls froze in shock (Sakura) and surprise (Naruto) as they turned towards the entrance of the ally, only to see Sasuke standing there, hands in his pockets and a frown on his face and he leaned against the wall.
"Yeah!" Sakura shouted in glee. "Sasuke-kun! You tell her! We're meant to be together!"
She lunged forwards, hoping that he would catch her and give her a kiss, finally acting on his repressed longing for her.
'Sasuke-kun, you're so sweet!' Sakura thought giddily. 'There's no need to be shy!'
At the last moment, when Sasuke was sure that Sakura wouldn't be able to stop her course, he dodged her grip and calmly walked towards Naruto.
"Dobe." The black-haired boy grunted.
"Teme." Naruto smiled warmly at her boyfriend, taking his hand.
Sasuke made to pull her out of the filthy alleyway, but Naruto hesitated, biting her lip.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto sighed. "We need to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand."
Sakura heard that comment, and her delusional mind translated it as Naruto breaking up with Sasuke-kun before their obviously horribly-matched relationship so that Sasuke-kun could be with Sakura, his true love.
Hey, no one ever claimed that fangirls were the epitome of sanity.
Sasuke closed his eyes, sighing in both resignation and exasperation before turning to Sakura, who looked at him hopefully and expectantly, eyes shining in excitement.
"I will never love you." Sasuke told her. "I was talking about Naruto."
Sakura's eyes widened in shock as her dreams crashed and burned right in front of her eyes.
"You know nothing about me," The Uchiha heir continued. "And I'm not interested in knowing you."
Naruto grimaced. "That might be a bit harsh, Sasuke-teme…"
Sasuke shook his head. "No it isn't. She's an obsessive, delusional stalker. I am NOT hers, and I never will be."
Sakura got up and ran away from the happy couple before he could say anything else, tears streaming down her face and feeling the harsh sting of rejection.
I'm sorry that you
seem to be confused.
He belongs to me
the boy is mine.
Ino sighed as she patted Sakura's shoulders, her best friend crying from what she thought of as her life being ruined.
Honestly, the pinkette was so dramatic.
Sure, Ino had liked Sasuke as much as the next girl, at one point, but after seeing him with Naruto she knew that she didn't have a chance. Naruto was the only one who Sasuke would ever love romantically.
There was a running bet about their relationship, and Ino had money on Sasuke proposing to the blonde Kitsune before graduation.
If Sakura had only listened to the gossip mill, maybe she would have realized that before making a complete and utter fool of herself.
Please review! :)
Think I was too harsh on Sakura? Eh, I couldn't figure out a better way for the message to sink in: that Sasuke wasn't hers and never would be because he didn't appreciate the fangirls' (which Sakura definitely still is in this chapter) stalking and obsessing over him and because he's already in a relationship.
