'Inner-Sakura.' 'Normal-Sakura/Thoughts' "Talking"


You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong to me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

Walking home from work, and ready to start the weekend the next day, Sakura pondered on the final weeks. The baby had brightened Sakura's week plenty. And it was sure to brighten up everyone's lives. It made her, for some reason, want a baby of her own but shrugged it off. She was way too young anyway, and who would she have it with in the first place?

'Hello….Sasuke…..'

Sakura rolled her eyes at her inner-self's though. That was something expected, she already knew shed say something like that. For the past years she had gotten stronger, forgotten about the past because it was something that she was willing to pass over so she could start another life and do it the right way but when those from the past came looking as good as they did, A.K.A Uchiha Sasuke, the same crush had filled her inner self and since then she had taken to nagging the poor girl.

'You wish. You know its not going to happen, I mean seriously even I have taken to lose this dumb crush' She hoped that this was enough to quiet the hyper girl but apparently she or whatever the hell she was, had another thing in 'mind'.

'Dumb crush! DUMB CRUSH! Apparently you're the dumb one, he KISSED you! I repeat, he KISSED you! And if I remember clearly, back then you would have fainted at the spot the moment he got about one inch close your you face. I don't even know you anymore…'

Sakura rolled her eyes at the stupid though but continued to walk home, she was trying not to make any type of fight with the inner-self but apparently that was failing. And she really didn't want to have people staring at her thinking she was some sort of crazy maniac because she was talking to herself, making angry faces while in the tiny second before that she had been carrying a smile one her face...

'You have to give the guy some time! If we act like nothing happened that day then he will come to us on his knees...okay, so maybe not on his knees but you get the point. He will be ours!

Sakura rolled her eyes again as her inner self started to laugh evilly.

'Oh just shut the f-UMPH!

Sakura's head argument was cut off as she suddenly felt a small and fast going pain going straight to her lower half and her face…or worse…her forehead.

Groaning as she got slowly up she looked at her strong attacker and was ready to pounce when she saw exactly what it was…

A lamppost.

A damn lamppost…

"…."

She blinked.

And blinked again.

"You just walked into a lamppost." Her eyes widening, Sakura turned to face the man she had been thinking about just minutes before.

"Excuse me?"

"You walked into a lamppost."

"Well thank you Mr. Obvious."

"No problem."

Sakura rolled her eyes at the man before her, when she noticed the box of tomatoes he was carrying in his hands.

"Tomatoes?"

He blinked for a second at the sudden change in conversation but then nodded when he understood her question.

"Oh."

Walking along step with him but still rubbing her precious forehead and bootie she noticed how many he had and wondered why he needed so many in the first place.

'Maybe he likes tomatoes.'

'I figured as much.'

"You should be careful with that thing." Sakura looked at the calm Uchiha.

"What? Why?"

"Someone could run into that thing, it's a walking death bed."

"Hey!" She smiled softly as he smirked.

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

They continued to walk as Sakura spoke about what she had done that day, and about the baby while Sasuke listened. He only spoke when she had asked him what he had done that day, and he had responded that he once again, had sparred with Naruto for a while, but when Naruto was called by his girlfriend he came to the village to get some supplies.

"You really like them, the tomatoes I mean, don't you? How did you start anyway?"

He nodded, "When I was a kid my mother had started to make me eat them, like a mom gives their child broccoli, but after a while I had learned to like them, a lot, so I buy them to have stocked in my house."

Sakura nodded and smiled, "Yeah, but mines with sweets though, back in our academy and genin days I was constantly worried about if I got fat or about my looks, so I would cut back on anything fattening, but I have always loved chocolate a lot, anything related to it too, and I would eat it almost every time I got depressed, so it was hard to stop. So my mom had this talk with me, and told me that all I had to do, was cut back a little on it, still eat it but, not so much."

He looked at her confused, "But why were you worried over gaining some weight? You were, and still are fit."

Sakura blushed, but answered anyway, "Well, everyone always made fun of all those overweight kids, and I didn't want to gain anything, not one little pound, I didn't want to be anorexic or nothing, just not too fat or not too skinny. But I don't have any problems with overweight kids, trust me, it's just, I knew Ino and my other friends would laugh so I didn't want to get hurt."

Sasuke said nothing for a while, but stopped when he arrived at his home, he looked at Sakura, who blushed and turned away, "Guess I'll be going now. I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked. He wanted to ask her to stay for a while, but the words would not come out, it was as if someone had glued his lips together, so he just nodded.

Sakura smiled at him, "Bye.", and then started walking to her home, and as he walked her walk away he felt a pang of regret come over him, he had wanted to her to stay, though he had no idea what for really, but just to stay for a little moment. Guess it was too late.

He walked up to his gate and entered the mansion. It was late anyway.

Ooh...

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see

Oh the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
