Here in Your Arms-HelloGoodbye

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~O~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oh, Gloria, you are the angel that sets my heart blazing…"

"Stefan, I can't…our love is forbidden…"

"No rule will be able to overcome the love that we have for each other…"

"Oh, Stefan!"

"Gloriaa!"

"Lies!" Sasuke got up and turned off the television.

Two weeks. Fourteen days. A lot of hours. Too many minutes. And one second too long. He sat there, head in his hands as he contemplated the need to live anymore. All the planning, scheming, and loving ways he did to win one girl ended in failure. How can he ever forgive himself or ask for forgiveness from the one girl he loved most? He will never be able to get over her pink petal hair, her smooth, porcelain skin, nor her stunning, emerald gree-, OKAY, hold up. Seriously?

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head vehemently, disgusted with himself for beginning to even try to be cliché and dramatic. Puh-lease. If anything, an Uchiha will just have to try THAT much harder to win his girl, damn it! He clenched and unclenched his fist as he paced impatiently across his room. His brows furrowed as his lips were set into a straight line. It really had been two weeks since the whole incident at the strip mall. (Please refer to Chapter 9). All the secrets have been laid out, and Sasuke contemplated his other problem. Married. Married? Mar-reed?

"Tch, annoying," he muttered, raking his fingers through his ebony locks as he paced out of his room towards the living room. He began his pacing again. Seriously, what's up with that? If anything, he should be out there right now, trying to win Sakura back, right? No! Why? Because for the past two weeks, we find that she has been avoiding him. All the flowers he could possibly send to her hospital were found outside on the ground, the vases shattered and the flowers squashed. Using Naruto to get her to go out to eat with him ended in an epic failure and his shirt drenched in noodles.

Trying to get Sakura to even spare him a glance was the least of his worries. He had to deal with the other situation concerning his abiding matrimony to her! He can't even get her to talk to him!

"GAH, why, damn it, why?" he screamed at the top of his lungs, releasing all the pent up anger and frustration he'd been harboring for quite some time. He sighed frustratingly, but paused. A wicked grin made its way onto the Uchiha's face and his body shook with delight. Neighbors began to hear evil cackles coming from the manor as they passed by with fear. They don't call me an Uchiha for nuthin'. I, Sasuke, will get my 'Gloria' back if it's the last thing I'll do.

Well you are the one the one that lies close to me


Neji Hyuuga made his way around the village again, completely stressed and frantic at the possible ruin of his relationship with the bun haired female. He couldn't help, though, but be angry and embarrassed at the new found secret by everyone of his third nipple. It was just a tiny bump. It wasn't like it opened the gates to happiness or anything. He sighed, wanting so much to talk to her because he knew, he'd forgive her the instant he'd be able to see her. It seemed fate had granted him such luck when he heard a scoff in front of him.

"You have some nerve coming around here," Tenten crossed her arms and stared at the pale eyed male. Her lips pursed with distrust and anger.

He fidgeted, "I wish to talk to you, if that is alright."

She nodded, waiting for his apology.

"I'm sorry, for everything," he looked down, fighting the blush that made its way onto his face, "for listening to that stupid Uchiha, for not telling Lee he was getting played, for being a sexist, for spilling secrets out, for not telling you said secrets in the first place, for eating that last cookie in the box-"

"What?" she crinkled a brow at him, her lips twitching upwards.

"But most importantly," he looked up this time, a bit more confident, "I'm sorry for hurting and not being honest with you."

Tenten was quiet for a minute as she made her way to the teen. She laced her fingers with his, and quietly whispered.

"You wanna get something to eat?"

Oh, it was a fine, fine day in Konoha.


What is this…? We now find a green wearing, bowl haired cut, teen making his way towards La Roux, hungry after his solo training for the day, and a bit depressed. Lee was sad, not because of all the secrets or even at the fact that Sasuke had played him, no, it was because he had no one left. Taking a seat in the booth by himself, he replayed the conversation he had with his youthful cherry blossom. Suffice to say, things ended in a bittersweet moment.

*FLASHBACK BABY!*

Sakura had asked him to meet her fifteen minutes before her shift at the entrance of the hospital, and safe to say, Lee was nervous. He had arrived half an hour early, combed his hair three times, and did four hundred pushups to prepare for this glorious conversation. Uh, as glorious as it could be. He began to fidget as he saw his cherry blossom greet him with a smile. Oh snap.

"Hey, Lee," Sakura murmured and stared at him, her green orbs flickering with apology.

"Hello to you, Sakura," Lee nodded in return, "What brings me here today?"

She smiled again as her hand tightened around her work bag, "I just wanted to apologize for everything that happened with Sasuke, and with you and me. I don't want to make things awkward, but I really just value you as a friend, however, I'm sorry for just not telling you the truth."

"Ah, I see," Lee looked down at his feet.

"But you know-"

"Sakura," Lee interrupted, meeting her eyes fiercely, "Would you like to know a secret? I had come to Sasuke because I honestly thought he cared enough to try to help me. I had to admit, some of his rules were off, but I was happy. Happy that I could maybe, possibly get a chance with being able to spend time with you."

Sakura blushed as she continued to listen.

"All this time, I had been pining for you, because you're the Cherry Blossom! You're the one that every guy would want. And believe it or not, I learned a lot from Sasuke's rules. I even got the date I wanted from you and that is enough. In the end, all I really wanted was experience so that I may be able to perhaps have a girl as great as you, Sakura. You are already taken, so I must move on."

The pink haired medic said nothing as she mused over his speech. Taken? She wasn't taken. She was just married to a bastard. That was all. But she smiled regardless, and gave him a knowing look.

"You're going to find someone that will be worth so much more to you than me," she gave him a soft kiss to his cheek and a gentle squeeze to his hand. "Thank you, Lee."

*OH GLORIA, THE FLASHBACK IS OVER!*

Lee exhaled quietly, wondering if lady luck will spare him a mere glance to allow him to have an actual love interest. A soft cough interrupted his train of thought as he looked up to see Alyssa.

"Hey there," she smiled at him, but her eyes didn't match, "what can I get for you?"

"One coffee for me, and an ice cream sundae for you," Lee smiled, "You look like you had a rough day."

The waitress held a look of surprise, but smiled and blushed as she nodded, getting his order to the counter, and taking her seat across from him.

VAT IS THIS?

"I guess something from Sasuke's rules helped him," Tenten peered from across the restaurant, eyeing Lee as he chatted happily with the waitress across from him. Neji took a sip of his drink and nodded, not really caring but the moment he was in right now with her.

She stopped, and began to glare at Neji. "Speaking of Sasuke, what happened with the whole marriage ordeal? How were they both married in the first place..? How did you know? How-"

"Alright," Neji held a hand up, "I'll tell you, but, you cannot say anything. This isn't as small as my third nipple issue, Tenten."

She stifled a giggle but kept quiet when he glared at her.

He sighed as he began his story, "It was a long and dreamy evening. I was about five miles out from our hotel in Suna, you know, the mission where your bra was hanging from the wire…."

*STEFAN! KISS ME IT'S A FLASHBACK*

Neji was making his way back to the hotel room where Tenten was currently knocked out in. To say that he was annoyed would be stupid. He was livid. This mission was supposed to be smooth and easy. He wasn't supposed to be playing babysitter. But no, Tenten HAD to go and get drunk, and throw that retched bra on the wire. He blushed furiously as dirty thoughts began to invade his mind. He stopped in his tracks when he felt a familiar presence.

"What are you doing here?" Neji raised a brow at Kakashi, who was currently reading a suspicious orange book.

"You might want to check in that chapel over there. I heard a rumor that someone's getting hitch," Kakashi then poofed away. Why is he even here?

"Why would that be my problem?" he muttered and was about to continue onwards to the hotel when he heard the familiar giggles of a certain pink haired girl.

"Oh, hic, Sasuke, hic, this mushon, hic, was soooo, ezy," Sakura giggled loudly as she held onto Sasuke's arm for support. The latter wasn't very focused at the moment, for he too, was stifling a giggle.

"Sa-ku-ra, murry me?" the Uchiha slurred his words as he stared at the girl, his eyes hazy and cloudy from the alcohol. "There's, uh, uh, chap-el, uh, righthur. I want, muh, babies tonight, woman."

Neji choked on his spit as he stared at the two ninjas wobbling and tripping towards the chapel. He couldn't believe this. Why? He cursed as he made his way towards the two.

By the time Neji made his way into the building, he found that Sasuke and Sakura were already at the altar, a slightly chubby faced "priest" marrying them.

"Hey, stop….this…wedding...uh" Neji scratched the back of his head, unsure of what to say.

"You, hic, stay, hic, away," Sakura giggled some more as she wrapped her arms around the Uchiha's neck, "We're getting married."

"Married!" Sasuke repeated and giggled, slipping an Uchiha heir ring onto the blossom's right ring finger.

"Hehe, hic, purtty," Sakura giggled loudly as Neji gaped in shocked.

"Right, wrong finger fella," the priest coughed lightly and continued, droning in a bored tone as Neji interrupted once again.

"I don't think this is a good time to be doing this, guys," Neji began to pull Sakura until Sasuke grabbed him, his Sharingan activated.

"You can't tell us, uh, what to do," Sasuke tried to glare, but it failed. "I'm gonna love her, and I'm gonna marry her, and uh….I'm going to love her…and we're gonna get laid…"

Sakura giggled some more as she stroked the Uchiha's hair, earning a seductive smirk from him. Neji gagged inwardly as he pried his arm away, continuing to drag Sakura from the altar.

"Hey, hic, stop," Sakura slurred, and next thing Neji knew, he crashed into the far right wall and knocked out.

*GLORIA! STEFAN! IT'S OVER*

"…and long story short, I woke up at a hotel with Sasuke and Sakura, and they begged me to help them. Well Sakura did, the Uchiha sort of stood there with a smirk…" Neji took another drink and sighed.

"Okay, that explains you knowing and was supposed to help them out with an annulment?" Tenten, confused, waited.

"Well, I wasn't in the mood, and I was really mad at them and you," Neji gave her a disapproving look as she blushed, "I told them I'd handle it…but didn't."

He smirked as she giggled, and a comfortable silence unfolded around them as they continued to watch Lee be a ladies' man.

Whisper's hello I miss you quite terribly


"Thank you, Lee."

He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe what he just saw. His woman, kissing Lee, holding his hand, and thanking him? What is this? Had he really lost her to him? As Lee made his way towards the town, Sasuke watched as the emerald eyed teen lingered near the hospital, but decided to head in the opposite direction. Curious and angry, he followed her all the way towards the park with the swing. Sakura stopped abruptly and sat on the swing, beckoning Sasuke to come forward with her hand. He slowly made his way towards her but kept a good distance away from them.

"Why are you here," she murmured softly, swinging lazily while looking at the different colored leaves.

"I could ask you the same thing," he uttered and gazed at her, longing and desire evident within his eyes.

"Why'd you do it?" she met him head on, "why did you hurt Lee and play with me, Sasuke? Haven't I acted stupid enough before you had to play with me? You made me think that you actually liked me."

"It's because I'm in love with you is why I messed with Lee," the Uchiha retorted angrily as Sakura recoiled, surprised.

He exhaled heavily as she got up, wanting to close the distance between them.

"We didn't talk to each other for weeks after what happened in… Suna" Sasuke awkwardly took a step back away from her, "But I couldn't help it, alright? Listen, I'm sorry. But everything I've done and given, I meant them. All of them, Sakura." He tore his gaze away from her, embarrassment seeping at his every pore.

"It's just…I don't think I can do it anymore, Sasuke…" Sakura felt tears brimming in the corner of her eyes, and looked up. "I really think we should get this whole…marriage thing annulled, and just stay away from each other unless it's necessary."

"Hn," he couldn't hear anymore. Karma really kicked him in the ass this time. He turned around and left, going back to Gloria and Stefan's problems than reverting to his own.

I fell in love, in love with you suddenly


The rain began to pick up harder and the casual flash of lightning illuminated the dark room that Sasuke resided in. Emo, much? No, he was watching the soap opera of Stefan and Gloria unfold as he drank his water, depressed. What a girl. In any case, Sasuke sighed heavily as the rain pitter pattered harder on top of the ceiling, and somehow managed to orchestrate itself to the quiet television. He couldn't believe this. Sasuke Uchiha was sitting on his bed, watching a soap opera, with the rain being the noise, and a glass of water in his hands. How pathetic can he get? He began to doze off until a soft knock could be heard at the front. Furrowing his brows at the sheer stupidity of the person who had the nerve to be here at this hour in the rain, he made his way towards the door and opened it, surprised.

"Hey."

"Hn. What do you want?"

"Papers," Kakashi held an envelope to the Uchiha's face, "Sakura wants you to sign it to get this…marriage annulled."

The Uchiha led the man in and took the envelope, scanning the pages and signature of the pink haired kunoichi. He grimaced and took a pen, furiously scribbling his name and threw the envelope back at Kakashi. He went back into his room and slammed it, leaving his former sensei to see himself out. But Kakashi could only smirk as he threw the envelope in the trash and left.

As if this day couldn't be any worse, Sasuke found his window opened and the rain spilling in heavily, making a puddle on his floor. Cursing inwardly, he went to shut it, having not remembered it was opened at all. Pausing, he turned around quickly to see Sakura. She was shivering and sitting on his bed, wet and inviting. He followed her gaze to the television of his soap opera and blushed, quickly turning it off and glared at her.

"What are you doing here, Sakura?" he muttered as he took a towel, throwing it at her.

She stayed silent and gazed at him, her eyes holding a mysterious glint. Worried at her constant shiver, Sasuke made his way and touched her warm forehead, only to find himself pushed down on his back towards his bed.

"Sakura," was the only word he was able to utter when he felt her lips aggressively attacking his own. He felt the water drops drip onto his face as her hair hovered over him. Her body began to mold into his as he pushed her off. "You told me we should stay away from each oth-"

"Unless it was absolutely necessary. This is necessary, Sasuke. I need you. I want you," without much thought, Sakura pressed her lips to his again, her body warming up to his. Uh, let's just say the pitter patter of the rain wasn't making the only noise that night. You know what I'm sayin'? Eh? Eh? No? Whatever. You suck too!

"Yeah, Naruto?"

"Want to make your dreams of whip cream a reality?"

"Mmmpfffhh?"
