A/N: Yes it has been forever since I have updated. Jeese dude, I can't even apologize 'cause it's just unacceptable. Where have I been? Wow, Anyways, I'm going to try a new writing style…a more sophisticated one if you will? I don't know. I've been reading some stories and I look at the way I used to write, compared to them, and it's so…ridiculous. So, Chapter 8 I believe this is. Here you go.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, blah blah insert joke here
Chapter 8: Where Have you been..
Dreaming/thoughts/songs/singing"
"Inner thoughts/emphasis"
"Talking"
Recap from last chapter: "Sakura you got blood splatters on my shirt and your hand. What the hell is wrong with you. I thought you'd be especially happy to see him. I got him placed in this class just for you."
"Well you thought wrong Kashi. That bastard left me. And you did too! You might have don't it because you HAD to, by orders, but he HAD a choice. And if you ask me, he made a stupid one."
The Uchiha bent his legs up, placed his left hand behind him and slowly got up. Slinging his messenger bag over his shoulder and wiping blood from his cheek where it had been split.
He walked over and hugged her. Hugged her tighter than he ever had before. He had been waiting for this for a while now.
She shifted. Left foot scuffling in front of the right trying to steady her balance at the impact. Her shirt brushed a bit against her neck and it began to itch.
"Sak…hug me back"
She raised her arm up, a small crack was heard at the movement from her elbow. Her joints were always rubbing against each other. A left hand slowly touched his side and her right rested on his neck.
"I hate you…Sasuke" she whispered.
"…I love you too Sak."

"Sakura…Please stop crying," A soft whisper flooded in her ears but was drowned out by the sobs wracking through my body.
Tender hands stroked down my hair and up my arms. Soft kisses placed on the top of my head, the only thing within his view because I wouldn't let him see my face while I cried to eternity. My eyes puffy and blotched red; nose leaking fluids; a look of total despair and loathing apparent on my face. Beautiful disaster huh?
So this is what I was reduced to because of him? Locked in the girls restroom, with him, guarding the door to keep women out, while the newly present man of my desire shocked me to oblivion by showing me kindness and true gentleness from the depths of his soul. Guess I can't exactly be mad at Sasuke for the last part. That was a win in it all…about the only win out of it too.
Did he actually think that after stepping out of my life for years without so much as a goodbye, a note, and inkling of his remorse left behind, and just think I would run into his arms like some dumb bimbo off her fucking rocking horse?
Fuck you Sasuke..
"Please Sakura. My heart…it hurts. I cannot bare to see you in pain…" Another whisper flooded my ears; a broken one at that.
A strangled sob escaped my lips, the last one too, before I laughed.
"I'm one bipolar bitch huh? I'm sorry you had to see this. Who the fuck knew my past would come up and..hell…hug me? Shit." I wiped my noise with my sleeve and stumbled trying to stand up and reach the sink. I was vaguely aware of the hand that was clinging to mine with despair, almost begging me to come back to him. I seriously needed to wash my face.
"Please don't look at me like that. I feel like shit as is" I said while running the tap and rubbing it over my face with my hands.
"I'm sorry, I just…I don't…I can't…ugh, Saku…" Was Subaku at a loss for words?
"You can't what?" I inquired after wiping my face with a towel. Relieving my eyes of the bath trails running away from them and down my cheeks. Something told me not to wear eye liner today.
"I can't..comfort you as I wish to…I don't know what to do to make you feel better" He stood up and slowly closed the distance between us, never letting the locked eye contact that we had go. He brought his balled up fist by my cheeks and opened his mouth a couple times before closing is again. His palms opened up and he cupped the side of my face, thumbs next to my ears.
"Help me…please?" He practically begged me with the look in his eyes.
I swallowed hard and closed my eyes for a moment. Damn, I can't focus with him looking at me, "Do what you think is right, for me," I said while opening my eyes and taking one of his hands in mine.
His face fell a little before he gave a small nod and kissed me slowly and softly on the cheek.
"It'll get better. I promise" he said.
I hope.
I walked over to my messenger bag and picked it up while walking out of the bathroom; Gaara in tow, one finger hooked in my belt loop.
"Sakura! Sakura wait, we need to talk and you know it. I'm sorry, just please, give me the time of day…" Sasuke half shouted as he jogged to catch up with me. Jeese he could be so annoying.
I turned around and shooed Gaara away a few steps before he did something that I know I wouldn't like and took out a small pocket sharpie. As he caught up to us I grabbed his palm and yanked it toward me and wrote my phone number on it.
"9 O' Clock, Uchiha. Text me. And you better not sweat that number off, because it's the only time I'm going to give it to you. Got it? Good." I rocked back and turn on the balls of my feet, Gaara at my side once more.
"Saku..I don't know about that guy…" he started.
"Oh hush. I know what the hell I'm doing," I said as we went on to our next class. Guitar? Hell yes please.
--
I Walked into the band room and grabbed a guitar from in front of the class. I didn't bother going to ask the teacher for "sheet music". Wtf is that shit? I play whatever it is I want to play.
I began tuning the guitar until a perfect melody came with all the strings. Who the heck was playing this before me? A monkey? Better luck on the drums next time.
Gaara sat next to me on my left and tuned his guitar. Tenten was to my right tuning her bass. They were the only two people I knew in the whole class of 40 kids, but hell, I wasn't necessarily complaining. Did I ever mention I don't like people?
I began to play a few notes on the guitar, one of my favorite songs to play that I learned a while ago to be exact,
"I loved everything about you that hurts so let me see your moves…hmm see your moves…Lips pressed close to mine..true blue….but the prince of any fallen empire knows that..hmm mmm mhm…hmm mm mhm. To drive on through the night, if it's a drive back home. Hmmm mmm mmm mhm mmm…trade baby blues for wide eyed browns. I sleep in your old shirts and walk throught this house…hmm…it's a strange way of saying that I know im supposed to love you…" I kept singing, humming, and strumming. Just losing myself in the music of the guitar. I was smiling by the time I finished the first verse and the bridge. Fuck, I love that song.
I started laughing at my last thought, outloud.
When I looked up Tenten was smiling and playing the bass part to the rest of the song I was playing and Gaara was giving me a smile. The crooked one that I love on his face so much.
"I didn't know that you knew how to play AND let alone sing. I love that song. Gay definitely is not a synonym for shitty," he laughed and me and Tenten laughed along with him.
Naruto walked over from the side of the guitar room from where he was talking to the teacher to us and beamed at me.
"Aww, my little Saku has good music taste eh?" He laughed and flicked his nose.
"Oh shutup boy. What are you doing here anyways?" I asked.
"Well I think that accounting is a stupid elective so here I am now. I love to just come and play the drums. Wanna play a song together?" He asked hopefully and looked around at all of us.
"hm…anyone know 'She's me Winona?' " I asked. And got answer with a few 'hell yes's and 'mhm's.
Naruto went of to the drum set and counted us off.
"3. 2. 1."
"Oh oh uh ohh, Oh oh uh ohh Woah oah oahh. Oh oh uh ohh, Oh oh uh ohh Woah oah oahh." Was sang throughout me, Gaara, and Tenten as we played.
I started the first verse "Life's just a pace-car on death, only less diligent. And when the two collide, it's no coincidence. The lights are one and everybody's home. The only thing suicidal here is the doors. We had a good run, even I have to admit. Life's just a pace-care on death, only less diligent."
I smiled and played happily as Tenten went into the bridge, "Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between. Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes, and daddy said you gotta show the world..the Thunder."
Some people started clapping and joining in with us for the chorus. I knew band class was going to be a good class.

After school came fast and Gaara and I walked back to his car to go home after saying goodbye to our friends. Those are some weird kids that I know.
It wasn't until we were in the car and pulling out of the school parking lot that I started to remember what happened earlier in this car…err…what didn't happen. Kiba…
I started blushing at the memory and mentally slapped myself. You stupid freakin school girl and your blushing. Does being 17 mean nothing to you? Jeese.
Then I felt a cool hand stroking my cheek and I looked over at Gaara who was smirking at me, one hand on the wheel while he slowed to a stop at the stop sign.
"Why the blush?" he asked innocently…too innocently for my liking.
"Nothing, nothing at all" I murmured and looked out the window.
"Saku…" he said and grabbed a hold on my chin to turn my face towards his.
"Nothing!" I said and laughed, trying to swat his hand away.
He chuckled a bit at my antics, "Fine, fine." He said and grabbed my left hand, intertwining our fingers and giving me a lingering kiss like this morning. He smiled and me and I smiled back.
"Drive slower this time…please?" I asked sweetly.
He gave me a rather dry laugh and a once over before he made a sharp right after punching the gas while adding, "Pft…not a chance."
--
When we actually got home and I was thankfully still in one piece, I hastily got out of that wretched killing device he calls his car and slapped the door as hard as I could manage while giving him a nasty glare. All I got in return was a laugh and an innocent smile.
"Fuck you Subaku," I snarled before walking up the pathway and unlocking the door.
I wonder where mom and dad went…
"Oh come on Saku! My driving isn't that bad." He pleaded from behind me, which I ignored completely. "Not a scratch on you is there?" he breathed by my ear.
God damn that boy and my hormones.
An involuntary shiver shook my body and briskly walked to the kitchen and laid my back pack on the counter and stormed up the stairs. I heard him hurrying behind me and made myself walk faster. Slamming my bedroom door as he reached the top of the stairs.
I walked to the opposite side of my room and sat against the wall on the ground. One knee bent to my chest and the other extended outwards.
I have to admit…his driving is kind of funny, the way It makes me scream like a little girl, haha. I never have THAT much fun when driving by myself…I like to drive fast, but not reckless, and boy is that Subaku kid reckless…
I was still smiling and laughing to myself and didn't notice him slowly open the door all the way and walk in.

I willed myself to stay strong and to not get nervous outside her door
First kiss. Best kiss. Sakura. Man up bitch! Gosh.
I considered banging my head against the wall, but walking in with a red blotch on my forehead…would not be attractive at all.
I slowly opened the door widely and smiled when I saw her sitting on the floor, opposite me against the wall, with a smile on her face while looking out the window.
So beautiful.
I took a step then got down on all fours and crawled towards me. She must have heard me approaching because she turned her dreamy look over to me and a nervous blushing face replaced the sereneness. I internally laughed. How adorable.
I crawled with in front of her and pushed her bent knee down onto the floor with my hand.
"Sakura…you're not mad at me..are you?" I asked and cocked my head to the side, looking genuinely sad.
"N-no." oooh, a stutter? Gotcha.
"I was hoping you weren't," I said while straddling her legs between mine and raising up on my knees. Hm…I was a whole head taller than her. Such a shorty. Perfect.
She looked up at me with parted moist lips nervously and blush darker than before.
I let out a low chuckle, "Oh Sakura…" I cupped the sides of her face like earlier in the bathroom and moistened my lips slowly, dropping my gaze to her lips and bringing it back up to her face.
"May I? ...Please.." I begged. The longing showing within my eyes. I could feel myself breaking out in a cold sweat from the intense feelings flowing through my body. This woman has no idea what she does to me.
"Uh Huh" was the only small audible noise that left her lips. But that was all that was necessary.
I slowly closed the distance between us and brushed my lips against hers light and hesitantly, waiting to see if it was what she really wanted.
Her eyes were closed and that beautiful blush still covered her cheeks while her lips puckered and pouted, awaiting mine to do their work. I laughed a little and hesitantly brushed my lips against her again.
Oh kami, they're like velvet.
I licked my lips one more time, tasting a little bit of butterscotch on them…Butterscotch? Mmm…butterscotch lip gloss? Oh Sakura you shouldn't have.
I brought he head back down to hers, fully intending to do the deed this time.
With one more slow look to her face before I descended down until our lips met softly.
I sucked onto her soft plump lower lip and groaned at the silkiness as it slowly slipped away, so drew it in again and sucked onto it for the same feeling. Fuck, kissing her is freakin' magnificent.
I groaned and kissed her a bit more forcefully and snaked my tongue out to glide across her lips. I more felt than heard her moan as it vibrated from her lips to mine and I smiled into our kiss. I glided my tongue along the velvety expanse of her lips and hers tentatively came out to touch mine. I groaned louder and lost myself within her, the kiss, the moment. Fuck.
I released my left hand from the grip it had on the side of her face and braced it against the wall, still eating away at her luscious mouth. There's no way I could get enough of this. Sadly all good things must come to an end.
I gave her one final longing kiss. Nibbling on her lower lip before releasing it from the hold my lips hand on it. It slowly sank back into a pout. A cute little moistened pout of pink lips.
I looked back up into her eyes from under my lashes and smiled my crooked smile at her.
"Gaara…"
"I know"
"That was…"
"I Agree"
"Fucking amazing. Ughh, how could I have been dodging something like that? Never again will I do so…I mean WHERE HAVE I BEEN! What the fuc-" I laughed and watched her rant on and on in her daze.
Those lips were rapidly moving…She'd lick them every so often to start off a new paragraph of her rant…Shit, I can't take this.
I silenced her with another barrage of kisses. These would be never ending until I was sure my lips were about to fall off.
--
2 hours later we were on her bed breathing heavily.
Me with my shirt off and her with her jacket off. Who knew making out could make you so fuckin hot? Maybe it's just because I made out with Haruno…probably.
A lazy smile traced its way onto my features.
"What are you smiling at?" she inquired while smiling up at me from where she laid.
"Nothing.." I said waving my hand in front of me, " 'cept for the fact that I made out with Haruno. Fuck yes." I said while air humping a pillow.
She laughed hysterically and slapped the pillow away from my hands, "I have to sleep with those you mega douche" she shouted and we fell into bouts of laughter together.
Then her phone rang, and my evening was ruined.
What time was it again? 9 on the dot you say?
Fuck you Uchiha.
To be continued.
