Seeing her mother's relationships fall apart for as long as she can remember, she just doesn't believe there is a thing called love. She dates many guys just for fun. To have something to do, and to make sure her heart never gets broken. So far she has proven that she will no be broken. Relationships are just a game to her. A game she plans to win.

He dates tons of girls in hopes of finding what love really means. But so far he has had no luck. He is searching for the "his perfect" girl, which really isn't all that perfect, but would be at least someone who likes him for him. Both of these young teenagers soon meet and both worlds soon collide...

Konaha's Lullaby

Chapter 8


Sakura's POV:

I awoke from my wonderful slumber, although I had a weird dream. My dream had to do with Sasuke. It was his birthday…and I decided to have some fun with Ryku. But, Sasuke came and beat him senseless. I grew terrified of him…and I just I don't know…I guess I whimpered and the next thing I knew…we had…fun? Then I fell asleep in his arms.

I tried to set up but something seemed to pin me down. What was pinning me down? I didn't know so I turned over and screamed when I saw Sasuke Uchiha, holding me! But for some reason I enjoyed it. But none the less I still screamed.

Sasuke apparently heard my scream and fell off the side of the bed while still holding me…thus causing me, the beautiful girl that all men drool over, to fall off the bed with him.

"WHAT THE HELL? WHY DID YOU SCREAM?" Sasuke growled, apparently he didn't like to be woken up.

"I screamed because you were holding me! That is not something a girl like me normally wakes up to!" I said, forgetting that he was still holding me.

"Girls like you, Sakura? What is that suppose to mean? Does that mean you never had sex before?" Sasuke said with a smirk on his face.

My eyes narrowed at him. "No, I mean the kind of girls that usually ditch the guy before he wakes up…and the guy never holds the girl usually." I replied angrily.

Sasuke scoffed. "Who ever had sex with you must have been desperate."

It was my turn to scoff now. "So you must have been pretty desperate, eh?" my normally sugar coated voice was now devious and sinister.

"I only had sex with you because I felt sorry for you." Sasuke sneered.

I laughed. "Yeah right, or did you have sex with me because your girlfriend couldn't give you a blow job with out slobbering on your dick?" I smirked.

Sasuke gave me a look that said 'Shut up!'

"And so, I was right!" I giggled. "Aww, Poor Sasu-chan!" said I with a tone of fake remorse in her voice.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed at my nickname I gave him. "Tch. What ever bitch," Sasuke said.

"Sasu-chan, how about you stop being a mini bitch like your girlfriend," I said, her happy mood gone.

Sasuke glares at me. "My girlfriend is the bitch? Apparently you haven't met yourself."

I rolled my eyes. "Where did you learn that joke, off a cereal box?"

"No I got it from your diary." Sasuke smirked.

"Ha-ha, I don't have a diary. And by the way, the dope called he wanted his joke back." I said in a bitchy tone.

"He just called again and he wants his hair back." Sasuke replied.

"Wow," I mumbled. "You must be gay! You, Uchiha Sasuke; Itachi's brother hanging out with a guy who has pink hair! That is a rumor I wouldn't mind spreading it around." I smirked as she got my clothes and walked out of the room

Sasuke's POV:

Later on that day I was thinking about Sakura. She was a bitch to some, and okay to others. She was a pretty confusing gal. She seemed to have a nasty temper and from what I figured out, is that she is a playgirl, which is probably what Kiba didn't tell us before. So if she is a playgirl that means that her friends are too. That also includes Hyuuga's cousin Hinata.

A smirk came onto my lips. So if she is a playgirl she must know a lot more tricks than the normal school slut. I did have to admit that she gives an awesome blowjob. It's like she knows how to pleasure every guy, which is probably true.

I shook my head trying to get rid of my thoughts. Man, I really need to get her out of my head!

I grabbed my car keys and drove off in my Mercedes Guardian to my current girlfriend's house.

As I shut my car door, my girlfriend jumped me. I sighed in annoyance.

"Hey Sasuke-kun," Karin purred into my ear trying to sound sexy, but after last night with Sakura she seemed to fail miserably to me.

"…Hn, hey Karin," I told her smoothly.

"Ohayo Sasuke-kun. How was your day?" Karin asked me.

"Fine, now can you get off of me." I said. I was getting irritated.

Karin reluctantly let go of me after I told her that I would break up wither her if she didn't. Then we walked into Karin's house.

Karin's house was smaller than Sakura's and diffidently smaller than mine. It was also pretty messy too. Clothes were just thrown around on the floor.

I decided to look at Karin. She didn't really have a good face. Her face is a sort of rounded shaped. Karin's eyes were okay; they had a mysterious look into them, with an almond shape to her eyes. That sort of drew me to her, I think. Karin's lips were thin and they really didn't look good on her. They were often rough and dry, which made it uncomfortable to kiss her. Her hair was uneven and was an ugly red color. Her breasts were maybe a 36A which is kind of pathetic. Her body was slim but didn't show off her curves much. And her ass was extremely small. Her arms thin and boney; her legs are okay but they are kind of chunky. She also has a nasty temper at times. I can't even believe I went out with her.

Now Sakura on the other hand, has a good face. Her face is heart shaped. Her eyes were a soft emerald color, with an almond to her bright green orbs. They had a friendly glow to them which makes her so easy to befriend. Her lips were perfectly shaped in every way. They were soft when I kissed her, and far from dry and rough. Her hair was a beautiful carnation pink with a hint of light red in the roots. Her breasts were big, I think around a 36DD, which I enjoyed immensely. Her body was slim which allowed her curves to show perfectly. Her ass was not too big but not to small. It was big enough to give her curves in the right places. Her arms were slender and not chunky at all. Her legs where long and slender which was a bonus for me. She has a bad temper sometimes but that is blocked out with her cheery go friendly attitude.

Oh god, now I am comparing my girlfriend to my booty calls of last night. That is the last thing I need to do. I mean sure Sakura is better than Karin in everyway to me, and she seems to pleasure me more than my girlfriend, but why would I want compare Sakura to Karin.

"Karin lets' go have fun in your room." I told Karin, I need to get Sakura out of my head. I hope I don't end up moaning Sakura's name instead of Karin's. That would be a major pain in my ass.

"Okay Sasuke-kun!" Karin said as she dragged me into her dirty room. Then we got a little heated and had a horrible couple hours of sex. Oh god, I need to break up with her soon. Maybe I could go for that Yamanaka girl. She is pretty hot after all.

Sakura's POV:

I hate this. I am growing weak and pathetic. I am playing with a toy but I am not breaking it. I am going soft. I am being a pathetic soulless body who can't, no who won't do anything to break the thing she's toying with. My place in this world, my world, is crumbling. I am slowly falling from my castle. Just watching it crumble.

I am wondering what to do. Move on? Do I dare find a new toy? Or should I continue my challenge with the younger, more arrogant Uchiha? Do I dare back down from the challenge that is laid before me?

Of course not! I, Haruno Sakura, never back down from the challenge that lies before me. I am not the weak girl that cowards in fear and back down every chance she gets. But just because I am not backing down from a challenge does not mean I can not have fun with others right?

Well, yes it does, because I have to put all my time and energy in getting my toy to crumble beneath me and do everything I want, while also trying to plan my mother's wedding.

Ugh, I am so confused. My mind is telling me to forget him. Ditch that man; he isn't worth my valuable time. But yet, I can't seem to let go. He is my addiction to something that I can not name. Is it love?

Ha-ha. Yeah right. Love, there is no such thing. It is a myth; a figment of the human brain. People only think of love as some sort of false hope. If love was so great, then why did my father leave my mother? Why does every marriage my mother has fail? If love was the greatest thing god gave us, then why do we have to struggle to gain it? When all we are gaining is false hope created by our minds to keep us going?

Love is a battle field that does not exist. It's a dream that shall never come true. People die searching for it, even though it means nothing. It is a pointless. It just gets you killed in the end.

Every man shall hurt me. Every "father" I get shall let me down. I can do nothing except prevent it from harming me. I shall not let love hurt me.

'All the love history knows is said to be hidden in every rose.' That is a quote from an unknown poet. But, if love is hidden in every rose than why do the person your with give you a rose one day, but break up with you the next? It might be an apology, or maybe a fake fairy tale that shall never come true. If you are looking for love, you are holding on to a dream that will never come true.

If you were in my position you would know what I mean. You would know that after a while you learn the difference between holding hands and falling in love. You learn that kisses don't always mean something. Promises can be broken as quickly as they are made, and good byes are usually forever. All those things are caused by one thing; love.

If love was hidden behind every rose, then I want a guy to give me no rose. I would tell the guy; Screw the roses, send me the thorns.

After all thorns are painful, and so is love. A thorn is closer to love than a rose is. So just send me the thorns.

Men can say the words: Love ya babe. But they won't mean it. Love ya, isn't the same as Love you. They are different. Men need to understand that. But will they? No. They will never understand. That is one of the reasons why love does not exist.

I began to walk around town, as my head was thinking things out. As I was walking I heard a girl say my name. She seemed to be talking to one of her friends about how I am a slut.

"I can't believe she would be that big of a whore. I mean come on, dancing with Karin's boyfriend!" A girl with light blue hair and amber eyes said. I instantly knew her as Mina. She always wore revealing clothes, my friends and I always assumed it was to get laid. We later found out it was because she wanted to be like me. I scoffed at the idea. She could never be me. Although it would be funny to see her try to act like me. But everyone knows I can not be copied.



"I know. I heard she drugged him and slept with him to get on Karin's nerves. She is so pathetic." A light violet haired girl who had bright green eyes said to Mina. She must be Mina's new side-kick Andy. She was dressed more like a whore than Mina. With her skimpy white tube top that barely even covered her breasts and her 2 inch mini skirt and her slim beat black shoes.

I walked up to the two bitches. "Hey, does my name taste good?" I asked them in my sweet voice. Man I wanted to hurl. I would never talk to them unless they got me pissed, which they did.

Mina looked at me with her bright amber eyes. "Konichiwa Sakura-chan!" She said to me as if she was my best friend and was never talking about me behind my back.

"Hello Mina-san. Now answer me question. Does my name taste good?" I asked them, my sweet tone never fading although my tolerance was.

"What do you mean by that Sakura-chan?" Andy asked me, her voice seemed to waver as if she was afraid of me. I smirked at that.

"Well I was asking you if my name tasted good. It must seeing how my name is always in someone's mouth. Mainly my name is in yours' and your guys' so called 'groups' mouth." I said my sweet voice only got sweeter.

The two girls face dropped when they realized that I heard what they said.

I smirked and said: "And for the record, I didn't drug him and slept with him. He slept with me. I did nothing wrong. Besides I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, and if I knew it was Karin-San I would have never slept with him." I said lying about the last two things I said. I did know he had a girlfriend, and I did know his girlfriend was Karin.

Mina looked at me and then at Andy then back at me. "Oh, Gomenasi Sakura-chan. We didn't get the whole story. We are sorry." She replied to me.

"It's okay. Just watch what you say about me, and come to me before you start spreading something that isn't true." I said my voice losing its sweetness. Then I walked away from them before they could say anything else.

As I continued to walk to where ever my feet were taking me my thoughts drifted back to love. I seemed to be thinking a lot about it. Is love a lesson that everyone has to learn? Or is a dream that will never come true.

I seem to doubt my own thoughts ever since I have met that Uchiha. I have only known him about a month.

I would be lying if I didn't say love has never crossed my mind. I always hoped that maybe this would be a bad dream, and I would wake up next to the man of my dreams. But that is only my fairy tale, and it shall not come true.

Is love an addiction? My mother always tells me:

A shot will kill the pain.

A pill will drain the shame.

A purge shall stop the gain.

A cut shall break the vain.

A smoke shall easy the crave.

A drink shall win the game.

An addiction is an addiction because it all hurts the same.

My mother always told me that when she was broken hearted. I always sighed and rubbed her on the back and whispered soothing words in her ear.

Then I would go to my brother and tell him I would never fall in love because it causes too much pain.

My brother would always ask: "What are you, scared?"

Then I would tell him: "I am not afraid of heights, I am afraid of falling. I am not scared of the dark I'm afraid of what's in it. I am not afraid of love, I'm afraid of not being loved back."

My brother would laugh and say that love starts with a hug, grows with a kiss and ends with tears. That is the way life ends. With out pain we learn nothing.

I would smile at him and tell him that only an idiot would believe that. Then I must be an idiot now, because I do believe it.

I smile graced my lips and I decided to walk to the park. Maybe if I walk through the park my mind will be swept away of all of my thoughts about the mystical word love.

I began walking South West of my house. The location of the park is a mile that way. It would be easier to walk that way then to take a detour through the city, especially since all the commotion going on about Sasuke and Karin. Yuck, that is just putrid. I still don't understand why he is dating her.

She's ugly and she is a whore.

I might be a playgirl but at least I have the decency to take normal and I never steal any woman's boyfriend.

I would steal Karin's boyfriend, but only because Karin isn't a girl. She's a thing.

Anyway I looked up at the stars and spotted Mars, or as some people in Japan call it, Natsuhiboshi.

I gazed at Mars and smiled.

"Natsuhiboshi, why are you red? Because I had a bad dream last night. My eyes are red from the tears I shed; swollen as I cry." I sang as I continued walking to the park but gazed at mars. It was truly beautiful thing.

"Natsuhiboshi have lost your way? I'm searching for a child who has gone a far. He can't be found though I searched all day. My bad dream comes once more." I sang the last verse as I got to the gate of the park.

The park was beautiful around this time of day. It is about maybe six pm. The flowers are in full bloom, especially the cherry blossoms. My name sake is a beautiful flower. Cherry blossoms are elegant but delicate, just like my fragile heart.

I sighed as I walked through the trees I heard a female voice.

I instantly recognized the voices as one of my best friend.

I walked towards the voice and saw her leaning against a tree.

I heard another voice. A deep voice that sounded familiar.

I got closer but I hid behind a tree so she wouldn't hear me.

I looked at her and got a glimpse of the man she was talking to. My eyes widened as I found out who the male was. It was Sasuke Uchiha. The next thing shocked me even more. Sasuke leaned down and kissed Ino and she kissed him back.

My eyes narrowed and I began to walk away as I thought: 'Ino and Sasuke are so going to regret that.'


But you can hear it, hear it,

Where ever it may go,

Even if i let you down,

This lullaby plays on...
