Last time on Life is Beautiful:
It was already after school, the group went outside, and about to go home, well Sasuke bringing her to his house like the old times.
But Sakura was stopped.
"Sakura!" Her uncle's voice was heard. Sakura looked and smiled as Sasuke and the rest just stared.
"I missed you so much honey! I was so worried, Ami kept on telling me you were sleeping over at Ino's. But it's been a week" Joe said hugging the petite girl.
Sakura smiled and hugged him back.
"Come on, let's go back home…" Joe said, Sakura nodded and looked at the group, especially Sasuke. She stared but gave a smile.
With that she got into her uncle's car.
Next week would be a big week since Sasuke planned on bringing Sakura with him. Everything has changed, his feelings toward Sakura has grown, although Sakura would like to deny it, she was now attached to Sasuke.
She never knew her prince charming actually exists…this was more than she bargained for, way more…but she never wanted to tell him the real truth about her sickness…
Her best day
It was the week after already, Sasuke was feeling a lot better. Fan girls still the same, he still does drugs and drink and also go clubbing.
Everything was the same, except for the relationship between him and Sakura. They were closer; he would often kiss her on her forehead, and hug her tight. It seems as though he was finally softening up, he finally admitted he was deeply in love with her.
Today was the long weekend where he had to perform two concerts in a row, since tickets were sold out; they decided to have another concert the next day. Kakashi planned everything out, with out even asking the band.
This long weekend will be a very busy and long one. Sasuke had decided to bring Sakura with him, since he'd worry for her until no end. He knew he had to, since Sakura's uncle is leaving for a business trip for the weekend, and his wife and daughter would hurt Sakura or something. He knew Sakura was too nice to even fight back or do anything.
For the week, he was always with her, except for when he's at the club or doing drugs…that was when Sakura was home with her uncle. But each second he was away from her, he missed her.
Sasuke took his new Prada slide phone and dialed the hospital.
"Hi can I speak to Dr. Tsunade please" Sasuke said over the phone, as he waited for Tsunade to be on the other line.
"Tsunade speaking here, how may I help you"
"Tsunade it's me Sasuke"
"Sasuke, what brings you to call?"
"I was wondering if I can bring Sakura with me to the concert I'm having…it for the long weekend"
"Oh no, a concert? I'm sorry Sasuke as much as I would want her to go I can't."
"Why?" Sasuke asked
"Sasuke, Sakura is a very weak girl, you know that. If she goes then she'll possibly have one of her attacks. She's sound sensitive, and concerts are loud, also I know very well that your fans are crazy. Sasuke, Sakura can't handle that, she can't be around too much people, she'll black out" Tsunade explained
"No I don't mean making her watch me perform, I meant letting her come with me, she'll stay back stage…there's full security, nothing can happen. Where she will be won't be near the fans or the loud music. Plus, her uncle won't be home, so it's more dangerous being at home." Sasuke explained
"Okay, she can go with you, but if anything happens you have to call me, no matter what"
"Don't worry, I'll call if anything. SO can I pick her up at the hospital?" Sasuke asked
"Okay, I'll tell her to go home and get her stuff"
"Don't worry about that, I'll just pick her up."
"Okay, see you later" With that Sasuke hung up.
With that he went into his Black Lamborghini, he already said he'd meet Naruto and them at the place they were performing at, which was about 2 hours away.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sasuke arrived at the Hospital, walking in he was greeted by a nervous nurse that was obviously tensed because his beauty was absolutely surreal. Also because of his name,
"Hi can I get Sakura Haruno's room number" Sasuke asked in his husky low voice.
"She's i-in room 108" The nurse said, fidgeting and flushed the whole time.
He gave her a nod and walked to room 108, only to see three nurses and Tsunade. His heart was beginning to beat faster, why on earth were there so many nurses. One was taking absolutely too many blood tubes from Sakura, the other was sticking a tag on each one, and the third inserted the AV fluid in her. Tsunade was listening to Sakura's heart beat.
"Tsunade" Sasuke said walking towards the doctor, she turns around and has a shocked look.
"Sasuke you're here early" Tsunade said walking towards Sasuke, who's eyes are on the unconscious Sakura.
"What's happening to her? What are you guys doing to her" Sasuke said attempting to walk towards Sakura but to only be stopped by Tsunade.
"Sasuke, relax, she's okay, we're just giving her the regular check ups, and the AV fluid is for her to be strong for this weekend, and also a way of replacing her blood" Tsunade explained, he was less tense but still wondered why she had to go through these tests.
"Why on earth does she have to go through so many tests, I thought it was only because she's mute" Sasuke said in a concerned voice.
"Sasuke, I've explained that she's a very weak girl, we need to research her, and besides trust me, this is the best for her. Sasuke listen, it'll take a while, I think you should leave for your concert now, I'll take her there later, I know where it is." Tsunade explains as his eyes were still plastered on Sakura.
"No it's okay I'll wait" Sasuke said tempted to stay with Sakura no matter what.
"Sasuke, you really don't have to do this…"
"But I want to" Sasuke said, he never wanted to leave her, he wanted her with him no matter what, he wanted to keep her safe and secure.
Soon all the nurses were done with Sakura, having Sakura sleep on the plain white bed. As nurses walked by Sasuke, they'd flush and look at him with a smile; however they know the hospital rule, which is to not be star struck.
"Sasuke, thank you…thank you for everything. I'm happy that a guy like you is there for her." Tsunade said placing a hand on Sasuke's shoulder and smiling.
Sasuke gave a quick smirk and nodded as Tsunade gave him room to be with Sakura alone.
He looked at the pink haired girl, as he walked slowly towards her sleeping figure. He sat next to her, watching her rest, breathing normally with the clear plastic tube placed across her face, underneath her nose.
He smiled, for some reason whenever he saw her face he smiled. He slowly took one of his hand and slowly brushing it against her cheeks lightly. Slowly he took his hand off her face then to her hand. He grabbed it softly and held it, as she sleeps.
After twenty minutes, green eyes slowly open, trying to remember where she was. Sakura felt the uncomfortable plastic straw thing across her face. She raised her other hand to reach for it and pull it off, only to feel a hand holding it back.
"Don't you dare" Sakura's eyes fluttered open, when she heard the familiar voice. Only to stare at someone she finally loved. Although she denied it, she knew she did. No matter how hard she tried, she finally given up denying.
Sakura smiled weakly as she looked down only to see his hand holding hers, and the other forcing her other hand down, so she wouldn't touch the plastic tube.
"Are you feeling okay?" Sasuke asked her softly as she nodded and smiled.
Sasuke smirked and stood up to cub her cheek, he bent down slowly and kissed her forehead.
He pressed the red button next to the bed, to get a nurse over, to check if Sakura was ready.
Tsunade walked in with a smile, as she looked at the sight of Sasuke and Sakura.
"Sakura you're awake" Tsunade looked and smiled. She detached everything on Sakura and looked at Sakura again.
"You're going with Sasuke today, well for the weekend okay?" Tsunade asked as Sakura gave a confused look.
"I promise it'll be fun" Sasuke said winking at her and smiling, as she flushed red. She didn't understand this feeling, but for sure she felt her heart skip a beat.
"She can go, but you better take care of her, or I will hunt you down Uchiha, even if you're famous" Tsunade said threatening him in a jokingly way.
"Don't worry" Sasuke said wrapping an arm around Sakura's shoulders, pulling her close to him. He was now leaning his head on hers.
"Be safe" Tsunade said smiling, Sasuke stood up and bent down in front of Sakura. Sakura gave a confusing look.
"You don't think I'll let you walk after how much tubes of blood they took from you" Sasuke said, signaling Sakura to get on his back.
Sakura smiled softly and got on his back, as he slowly stood up and started walking out the hospital. As he walked the nurses looked at them, they didn't glare but winked at Sakura. As much as they love Sasuke themselves, they loved Sakura, and they were happy for her, and the nurses were young too, it's proven that if you know Sakura for who she is, you'll love her.
Soon they arrived to Sasuke's Lamborghini, Sasuke sat Sakura on the passenger seat, wearing her seatbelt then shutting the door.
"Sasuke take care of her, I know you're traveling pretty far" Tsunade said standing next to the car, where Sasuke was.
"If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive my own self" Sasuke said promising Tsunade nothing will happen to Sakura.
"Oh and Sasuke?" Tsunade said before Sasuke walked to the driver's seat. He turned around to look at Tsunade.
"She doesn't like the dark" Tsunade said, Sasuke was a bit shocked but then smiled and nodded.
Then Sasuke walked to the other side of the car and got in, sitting in the driver's seat, wearing his shades.
Sakura looked at him curiously as he smiled his bright white straight teeth at her.
"You won the prize of being back stage with Uchiha Sasuke" He said firmly, then smiling while looking at her and driving. She gave a confused look then her bright green eyes shone in excitement.
"No let me rephrase" Sasuke said frowning at what he had just said.
"I won the prize of spending a whole long weekend with the most beautiful girl" He said smiling at her again. He took his free hand and held her hand, interlocking their fingers. Sakura smiled and looked at the road as they drove.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Sakura Chan!" Naruto called out as her hugged her tightly. Sakura finally arrived; they were in Sasuke's dressing room, more like hotel room. It had everything!
The room had a plasma TV, nice wooden floor, two couches, a table and chairs, a washroom, a huge mirror, a rack full of clothes, guitar stands with electric guitars and a desk with a computer on it. It had everything. Outside the room, the door printed "Uchiha Sasuke".
Sakura was amazed at the room, Naruto and the rest had their own room too, but since Sakura was in Sasuke's dressing room, they all appeared in the same room.
"Let her go you retard! You're going to choke her!" Neji said pulling Naruto off then slapping the back of his head.
"Itaii!" Naruto whined as Neji smirked then lightly hugging Sakura, then Shikamaru did the same.
But soon they returned her to the person she loves. Sasuke's arms were wrapped around her little body from behind. His head rested on the top of her head, he bent down smelling the fresh scent of her hair as he held her tight.
A knock was then heard, Sakura then tried to get out of his grasp, but only to be held tighter.
"Sakura don't worry" Sasuke's voice whispered into her ear, making her shiver a bit as it tickled her ear. HE smelt so good, something she's never smelt before, it wasn't cologne, but he smelt unbelievably good.
"Come in" Naruto screamed out.
A man with a walkie talkie peaked in.
"We're practicing soon" he said as the guys nodded, then he closed the door.
Sasuke spun Sakura around and held her hand, fingers interlocking as they walked out, down the hallway to the back of the stage then to the stage.
Sakura looked shocked, it was extraordinarily huge! The stage was high off from the ground and it looked amazing to be on stage, where someone as famous as him would be performing at later on tonight.
"Sakura, you're here too, I'm not as surprised" A man said, Sakura turned around only to see Sasuke's manager, Kakashi, he smiled at her softly.
She blushed as she saw the book he was reading and slightly looked away.
Kakashi's attention then went back to Sasuke.
"We'll just try one song, I think Apologize, since it's your last song and your fan's favorite" Kakashi said, as Sasuke nodded.
Kakashi gave a nodded, as the lights got dark, Sakura got tense, but Sasuke held her tight making her feel incredibly safe. But then different colours of light beamed every wear, then a light glow, on Sasuke. Sasuke held her from behind again. He walked up to the standing microphone and waited for the song.
Shikamaru starts the key board, then Sasuke's charming voice began to slur then he sang.
'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say..
Sakura wanted to cry, she loved his voice, it was conspicuous, she could feel his chest vibrating as he sang. It was the best voice she'd ever heard.
Then Naruto started the drums, and Neji with light guitar noise.
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Then he held her closer to him if possible, as he leaned to her with his muscular body and sang more.
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
Hearing his voice made Sakura want to see him perform with every song her had. She absolutely wanted to hear him sing on stage while she was on the floor looking like any other fan. She felt guilty because she had the advantage to be with him, as he held her and sang softly.
it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, a yeah
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...
(Song by One republic ft Timbaland- apologize, I know it's Timbaland ft One republic, but I give credits to One republic)
It ended as Sasuke smirked at Sakura's shocked face, and turned her around. He kissed her on her forehead again, this time hugging her with one hand from one side, and his cheek on her head.
"Good job, that was amazing" Kakashi said walking out from behind the stage.
Sasuke just gave a plain look and looked away, aw the light began to become bright again.
"you guys have 4 hours until performance, try being here in 3 hours" Kakashi said, then Sasuke and the guys went inside the room for five minutes, all looking different, Sakura didn't even recognize him.
"I'm Sazuki" Sasuke said in disguise, Sakura gave a weird look to them all. Sasuke had a blond wig on with glasses, Naruto had blue hair, Neji had short hair, and Shikamaru had black hair.
"So where should we go?" Neji asked, as they walked into Neji's car, since Sasuke brought a two seated.
"Neji do you mind if I drive?" Sasuke asked, Neji looked surprised
"Even better" he murmured then they all got in, Sasuke in the driver's seat, Naruto in the passenger, and the rest in the back.
Sasuke pulled out a black piece of cloth and handed it to Neji.
"Blind fold her" He simply said, making them all look shocked
"Don't worry it's a surprise" Sasuke said smiling at her, as she slowly shut her eyes. Neji did the favor and blind folded her eyes with the black cloth.
"So where are we going?" Naruto asked scratching the back of his head.
"Don't worry" His voice was heard…
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The car finally stopped.
"Finally I can take this gay wig off, it's been bothering me" Naruto complained, as Sakura can here the rest of them ruffle their wig off and everything else.
Soon she hears Sasuke get out of the car, and open the door where she sat. She felt a warm hand gently holding onto her arm and pulling her out, leading her out.
"It's been since forever since we've been here" Shikamaru said sighing in relief.
"Yeah I miss it!" Naruto said chuckling.
Sakura walked slowly, but then felt herself being lifted off the ground and being carried the bridal style, cradling her like baby.
As they walked, she could feel the cool breeze brush against her cheeks as she heard wood pieces snap as the four guys walk on the ground, after a good ten minutes, he gently put her down.
"Sakura, you'll love this!" Naruto said excitedly. Sakura could hear the water fall sound, it smelt fresh and it was quiet with birds chirping.
Sakura suddenly felt the warmth on her skin, on her head everywhere. Suddenly Sasuke slowly untie her blind fold, when Sakura finally opened her eyes, she was amazed.
They were at a meadow, in the middle of the forest, it was beautiful, they were surrounded with different kind of flowers, and plants of ever color you can think of. The sunlight shone only in the meadow they were in, surrounded by big trees, as if they were the only ones in this universe. She looked down the hill, only to see a perfect view of a waterfall from a beautiful shaped rock, it looked as if this scene was only supposed to be an image, an art piece for auction. Birds were chirping and flying around, the warmth of the sun made her feel comfortable. Sakura smiled as she looked around, never in her like had she been anywhere as beautiful as this place.
Suddenly she felt strong arms wrap around her petite body from behind. Sakura knew the smell and the hold, it was Sasuke.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Sasuke asked as Sakura nodded slowly while smiling at the scene.
He rested his chin on her shoulders as they stare at the waterfall that emitted a rainbow.
Sakura held onto his hands where it was at her stomach and they stood there looking at the scene for a while.
"Nice place for relaxation" Shikamaru said as he slowly lay down on the beautiful flowers, looking up the sky.
"WATER FIGHT!" Naruto said as he ran down the hill pulling Neji with him.
"Naruto let go you fag!" Neji screamed as he almost tumbled down falling.
Naruto quickly walked up to the pond of water and scooped up two hands full of water and splashed it at Neji.
"Naruto you loser!" Neji screamed out as he pushed Naruto into the pond.
Naruto laughed and pulled Neji in as they started to drown each other. Sakura lightly giggled at how funny the two were.
"Your hands are cold" Sasuke said from her shoulder in a disapproving upset voice. Sakura turned her head, to only see Sasuke took off his disguise, it was him again, and the one she learned to fall in love with.
The beautiful inhumane beauty that he possessed, along with his angelic voice and smell.
Sakura held hinds tighter and smiled at him…he leaned in closer and closer to her lips, about to kiss but then his phone rung.
You make me better, you make me better-
Soon Sasuke picked up the phone.
"What?" Sasuke asked a bit upset
"Sasuke we need you to come back, you need to take some photo shoots for the autographs, and I need you to sign some of the cds so it's pre autographs for those who don't want a picture, since they have to pay" Kakashi said over the phone
"Can't I do that later" Sasuke asked a bit upset.
"Sorry Sasuke, it needs to be done now" Kakashi said in a firm voice
"I'll be right there" Sasuke said then hung up, Sakura stared at Sasuke's beautiful face in the sun with her bright green eyes, as he looked down and released her from his comfortable grip.
"I have to leave for a bit, but I'll be back as soon as possible" He said to her as she nodded, with that he gave her a peck on the top of her head and told the others he's leaving and to take care of Sakura.
After he disappeared in the woods, Sakura sunk down onto the fresh flowers, she lay down next to Shikamaru and looked up at the sky, watching clouds.
"You sure really love this" Shikamaru said smirking, Sakura smiled and nodded.
"At least one person I meet actually finds it interesting" HE smirks and keeps his eyes on the clouds, until Naruto came running to Shikamaru.
"What are you doing you lazy pig?! Come on lets have a water fight" Naruto said
"Naruto, you're so immature" Neji said looking away
"Shut up!"
"Come on, Sakura, let's roll down the hill!" Naruto said, grapping Sakura along.
Naruto and Sakura lay on the edge of the hill, next to each other, then Naruto rolled first then Sakura. Sakura smiled all the way through, as Naruto laughed out loud. Soon both bumping into each other.
Both lay down and look up at the sky panting and smiling, a butterfly comes and stood on Sakura's nose, she didn't move but she smiled. She took her hand and put it next to her nose, only to allow the butterfly to go onto her gentle fingers.
She sits up and looks at playfully, it was beautiful, it had the colors blue, black and pink, an unusual color, but still present, Sakura brushed it's wings lightly, as it allowed her to. She raised her hand and let it go free.
"Wow, Sakura chan, animals really do love you, and insects! Why are you so nice to them?" Naruto asked looking at her with curiosity.
Sakura stared at Naruto with a smile for a while and shrugged happily.
"Come I'll show you something" Naruto said as he pulled her to the pond that was next to them, it had a waterfall also fro the top making the loud noises. Sakura looked up and saw a rainbow, she wondered if this is what heaven is like…
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Naruto said looking at the waterfall, and the pond, Sakura smiled and nodded.
"This was actually where we all met…the first time we met was here…it gives a lot of memories" Naruto said smiling a serious and peaceful one as he slowly sat at the edge next to the pond, where Sakura followed and sat also.
"I thought this was my hide out, only to find out another three came here, somehow all four of us came here at the same time, at first we hated each other, fighting for this land, saying it's ours…only to find out maybe we were meant to be friends" Naruto said
"I was the annoying type in school, Neji was the cold one, Shikamaru was the smart lazy one, and Sasuke was the ever so rich popular kid in school, we were all different, but somehow, in school we finally spoke…the four of us were close to each other, and found out a lot about each other. It's amazing isn't it? How we can all come together? Neji says it fate…and I do believe him" Naruto continued to talk as the wind blew his hair effortlessly.
"Did you know none of us had respect for anyone? Especially Sasuke…he was the bully, the player, the one with the ice cold heart, even if he was with us, he seemed to be the one that's hiding most of himself from us" Naruto continued.
" If it wasn't for you, I don't think he'd ever stop being in that killer mode, with his red eyes sharingan…somehow, when you're with him, his mood changes Sakura" Naruto said
"I know I shouldn't tell you this…but maybe I should…you deserve to know" Naruto said, Sakura gave a confused look.
"Sasuke Uchiha, he was always the rich popular kid no matter what, but he never cared, no matter what, somehow all he wanted was power, you might think this is awkward I mean, power…you probably think it doesn't exist…but it did, it was the power to kill and to murder, the power to take over the world. Yeah it sounds dark, and it is…no one understood why he's like that, there was this one time, when he ran away from home and everything, this was before us turning into a band of course, but he left, and I tried to find him, it was hard…and when I did find him, all we did was fight…a few years past, and we found him again, it was hard to get him back to normal, he was never normal to begin with, but one thing I learned for sure was that he was probably immortal" Naruto said and took a deep breath.
"I know I sound crazy, with all this immortal things, but his mind was just peer evil, but I wouldn't blame him…it all started because of this guy named orichimaru, He gave Sasuke a curse that would torture Sasuke, and soon Sasuke would come and look for him just for power, and that's what happened, but it turned out that he murdered orichimaru after having enough power…Begging him to come back was impossible, but somehow he ended up coming back…even colder than before. He would play with girls for fun and simply throw them away, he had power…he would kill those who was in his way, he would beat a person up just because they were there when he was upset, with those killer eyes, I was even scared to approach him" Naruto said, these words sunk in Sakura and she was starting to be aware of the story, knowing more about Sasuke.
"And about those eyes, his eyes Sakura, are amazing…they can copy anything, and they can predict a move, they can see in the dark, they can kill a person mentally, they can make a person insane, lost in the world. They are the most dangerous, that's why people are afraid when he has those eyes. And when he has those eyes, he doesn't return to normal until maybe two days, a day or after murdering a person…it was dangerous, deadly dangerous. Those eyes can take you to a different world and make you believe it's real. He also does a lot of drugs and alcohol, he was a person who didn't care if he lived or not. He had the most unnatural powers, like electricity out of his hands that turns into a sword that can explode a person with a touch, and his unbelievable speed!" Naruto took another deep breath, as Sakura watched him, she was confused and upset, why didn't' she know how horrible he was?
"Sakura, I'm not telling you this so you'll be afraid" Naruto said noticing Sakura's fright.
"I'm telling you this, so that you know he needs you. When you came into the picture, he was a different person Sakura. When you came, changes started to happen, he's never cared for a soul, but when it came to you, he was furious, for heaven's sake, when something happens to you, he's worried like some freak. And when you're not there, it seems as though he's the same person her was before, but the second you're there, he the brighter person, the calm one. He's always taking care of you, he's sacrificed his nights with girls for you. He actually smiled when you're here, his eyes actually cools down, something I thought would be impossible. Sakura he showed you this place…it's our sacred place, but he wanted you to see it" Naruto said smiling and looking at Sakura, Sakura was shocked, how could she do something like this?
Sakura smiled, she just couldn't believe something like this would happen, ever.
"But it is true, you tend to make people more happy and positive, it's your aura or something, but when a person gets to know you, they'll surely change into a good person" Naruto said with a big grin plastered on his face.
"Sakura, I told you all this because I wanted you to know that if you leave, Sasuke will crumble…you're that important to him" With that Sakura's smile disappear. It had gone for too long, too much. Her goal was to not get close to anyone, so that when she leaves, everything will be okay…but now, what will she do?
She needs him, but she knows she's going to leave soon, leave to heaven, but she doesn't want to anymore…she wants to be with him. Heaven wouldn't be heaven without Sasuke, death wouldn't be something she desired or accepted because she knew it would be away from Sasuke. She wanted to cry but she hid it with a smile.
Soon both looked into the pond as they watched the colorful fish swim and the lilies float on top of the water.
An hour later
"Sh…" Naruto said as Sakura followed him, they walked up to the sleeping Neji who was near the edge of the hill.
"one…two…THREE!" Naruto screamed and pushed Neji down, making him roll, well Sakura helped, both laughed. Neji got up and looked fierce.
"Naruto! I'm going to kick your SORRY ASS!" Neji said
"But Sakura did it too!"
"It was your idea DUMBASS!" Neji said as he began chasing Naruto, and Sakura smiled and laughed.
Soon strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, Sakura was a bit shocked but then noticing the scent and the comfortable grip.
"Did you have fun?" Sasuke said into her ears, she smiled and nodded.
"WATCH OUT!" Naruto said as he pushed both Sasuke and Sakura, both tumble down the hill, only Sasuke was protecting Sakura as the rolled down. Sakura laughed a silent laughed as Sasuke smirked, soon they were at the bottom.
HE was on top of her, staring at her green orbs, she smiled her innocent yet beautiful smile.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a worried tone, Sakura smiled and nodded.
He smiled, but didn't stop looking at her, his smile disappeared…he continued to look at her eyes as they both lay in the middle of beautiful colorful flowers.
Both had a serious face now, Sasuke's face began to go lower and lower, he tilted his head a bit and finally his lips touched hers. He began playing with her pink locks, as she just laid her hand on his chest.
Finally they broke apart, he stared at her again, only to find her bright as an apple, she looked away, and he smirked at her cuteness, and pecked her cheek.
"I love you" Sasuke said, her eyes widened, she didn't want to hear those words, but at the same time those words melted her.
She smiled and looked at his peaceful eyes, as she remembered her conversation with Naruto.
"Sasuke! Let's go skating!" Naruto exclaimed from the top of the hill, as Sasuke, who was still on top of Sakura, his elbows holding him up as he looked up and smirked.
"Coming" Sasuke screamed out as Neji and Shikamaru were also up the hill waiting, a smile plastered on their face.
With that he pulled her up lightly and held her hand as they both ran up the hill, obviously, Sasuke was going his slow speed.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Wear this, I don't want you to catch a cold" Sasuke said to Sakura as he took of his blazer, and put it on her. He then led her into the skating area, he found her shoe size and wore on her skates.
Already Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru were skating like maniacs, racing and pushing and just simply skating.
Sasuke took a firm hold on her petite hand and held her as she stepped onto the ice. Right away she fell on her bottom, making her blush and him chuckle at her.
"Here, I'll teach you" Sasuke said, with that he held both of her hands and pulled her up and he went backwards as she was going forward. She was stiff and hard, afraid she'll fall, making herself bend over quite a bit.
HE smiled, "Sakura trust me, relax" HE said to her, but it was easier said than done. She wanted to relax but she was afraid as she clutched on his long sleeved dark blue buttoned shirt.
He gave a heavy sigh, and held her hands tight, "Sakura I promise I won't let you fall" He said to her, she gave a heavy sigh and then slowly, stood up and tried to relax herself.
"See" with that, he increased his pace and went faster and faster, but not too fast that Sakura will get hurt. The whole time she closed her eyes shut, but finally she opened them, peeking with one eye, only to see the beauty of an angel in front of her. He smiled his white shiny teeth at her as he skated backwards, his hair flowing with the cool air and her pink locks dancing along.
"Okay, Sakura, slowly take your left foot and step forward, and start gliding, make a pattern" Again easier said then done, she tried and slipped, but only to be help and protected by strong arms and chest. Before she stood up, she took a good swift of his lovely smell; she held her straight and then made her do it again. Soon she got it, but slowly and clumsily.
HE held her hands as she continued to slowly glide, she smiled when she got it, and he continued to look at her unpredictable expressions.
HE suddenly let go of her with on hand, the other still holding, he went to her side, bent his arm a bit making it look like they were linking but it was almost like intertwining their fingers and once with their arm.
"Take it slowly" He said to her as they skated slowly, she would sometimes slip, but he was always there to catch her.
The whole lesson took about 40 minutes and Sakura holding Sasuke's arm firmly.
"Sakura chan!" Naruto said, quickly coming from behind her and now in front of her. Sakura looked shocked but then smiled, with her bright red nose from the cold, but luckily the blazer Sasuke gave her kept her warm.
"Let's go skate" Naruto said, Sakura looked at Sasuke and smiled, he smiled back at her and let her go slowly, as she latched onto Naruto afraid she'll fall.
Naruto turned his back on Sakura and took her arm and wrapped it around his waist, he smirked, "Hold tight, and it'll be fun" Naruto said chuckling.
With that he started skating fast, Sakura was afraid at first and held him tight, but then she opened her eyes, only to feel the once again cool breeze brush her face, she loved it. She saw Sasuke skating around quickly too.
After a skate with Naruto, she skated with Neji and Shikamaru…because of Sasuke and Sakura, the other three feel as though they are Sakura's brother, also protecting her with their lives, and caring for her like their blood sister. They knew she was something important because she was hanging out with them, and Sasuke as deeply in love with her.
An hour and a half later, they were done skating; only a half an hour left until they had to head back to the performance area.
"Where should we go now?" Neji asked, they were all in their regular shoes, Sakura still wore Sasuke's blazer, but this time her was hugging her and rubbing her back so she'll get warmer.
"Let's go out and eat" Naruto said, with that they all nodded and left to the finest restaurant there was, and also in their disguise.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A car drove in front of the gates; the tinted window rolled down to reveal an unfamiliar face, looking at the guard.
"I'm sorry…who are you?" The guard said before opening the gate.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru and Sakura," The man stated who was sitting on the driver's seat.
The guard raised an eyebrow, "I think I know who they are…"
Sasuke made a shocked look, and then realize he was in disguise.
"Oh, sorry" He said, as the other boys took off their disguise, and back to their beautiful faces.
The guard nodded, and opened the gates as the car drove in, and into the parking lot.
Sakura was shocked as she sat in the back seat, she was surprised at how much people there were standing outside before, at the front with was the entrance to see the concert, there had to be thousands. She saw the ones with a VIP pass go in first, as others begged to pass the guard which never happened; already it was getting busy in the front.
As the car came to a stop, they all got out; Sasuke went back to Sakura's side and arms around her fragile body, as they walked in through the back door.
It was a chaos, with people around, talking to each other all at once, trying to get everything ready for the concert that was in less than an hour. Sasuke held Sakura to his chest turning her head so one ear could hear his smooth heart beat and breathing. Sakura was confused, and wasn't used to these kind of chaos; Sasuke knew that she was a bit afraid at the chaos.
Finally they reached to Sasuke's dressing room, with only her and him, Naruto and the rest returned to their dressing room.
He let go of Sakura smoothly, as he followed her to the couch. Looking deep into her eyes, he smirks at her confused face.
"What are you so confused about, Sakura?" Sasuke asked, Sakura gave a confusing sigh and looked down. He chuckled and put an arm around her shoulders.
"Please Sakura, stop feeling bad because you're the only one who isn't part of the band to be with me, and no, you're not a burden." It as if he could read her mind, her eyes widened in surprise.
"I guess you're that easy to read" He smirked and rested his cheek on the top of her head, then lightly kissing her head softly.
Sakura took comfort at Sasuke's words and leaned towards his chest, resting her head, she couldn't deny the fact that he was something she couldn't live without. He made her safe.
A knock was heard, Sakura sat up, Sasuke looked over the door, and stood up to open it.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked harshly, it was a totally different tone that he used on Sakura.
"I got your electric guitar, just retune it" The man said handing him a slick black and red guitar that looked like it costs thousands. Sasuke quickly nodded, and shut the door. But then only to have another knock right after, which was Naruto and the rest of them, bringing their instruments, well just parts…Not Shikamaru, since he was on keyboard.
Sasuke sat nest to Sakura again, as the other three sat on a couch across them.
Sasuke started to wipe his guitar and then turning the knobs and touching the strings lightly, Naruto was wiping his drum sticks, and Neji was doing the same as Sasuke.
"Hey I wonder how long we're going to have to perform" Naruto asked
"Dumbass, it's 3 hours, why are you so stupid?!" Neji asked
"Shut up!" Naruto said
"Troublesome, later we have to do autographs and pictures AGAIN! That means we'll be staying here for a good 7 hours!" Shikamaru said sighing and watching television lazily as the rest talked and prepared for performance.
Another knock was heard; Naruto opened it, only to see Kakashi.
"Boy, we're ready in a half hour, we need to make sure you know what you're doing" He said quickly, still holding that orange book of his.
The boys stood up and walked to Kakashi, Sasuke holding Sakura tightly, as if he never wants to let go of her.
They discussed what was going on during performance, the act they have to put on, how to appear and what to say, what to do and everything else there was. The boys nodded, with that he gave each the boys a shot glass of something, they all grabbed it and moaned at the glass. The four took a huge gulp, but having a normal face on, Sakura was confused and looked at them, curiosity took over.
"Want some?" Sasuke said, offering her whatever's left in the glass, Sakura being the curious person she was nodded, Sasuke's face had the poker face on as she took whatever's left in the shot glass, her face fumed and wrinkled her nose at the taste. Sasuke's poker face, turned in to an enlightened one, chuckling at Sakura's face.
"Curiosity killed the cat" He said chuckling at Sakura's red face. What she had just drunk was lemon juice and a bit of honey.
"Sweetie, it's for vocalist, it helps to clear your throat, and a better voice to sing and perform" He said to her hugging her tightly, as she showed a bit of embarrassment on her face. She pouted silently, as she dug into Sasuke's chest as the other three lightly chuckled.
The other three smiled, then their designer's came, handing them their outfit to perform, Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru went back to their dressing room to get ready, as Sasuke grabbed it and excused Sakura for a while, while he's in the washroom in his dressing room, changing.
A few minutes later, Sasuke was out with black jeans, that probably cost over a thousand, and a black buttoned shirt that left a few buttons unbuttoned, and a red tie that was hung loosely. He looked the more gorgeous if it was even possible, black just made his beautiful pale skin stand out, and his onyx eyes showing off, his black outstanding hair also commented on what he was wearing.
He had ten more minutes left until performance; he sighed and looked at the innocent pink haired girl.
"Sakura Haruno" Sakura jumped a bit as he said her full name.
He walked over to her his hand holding something silver, he sat beside her.
"Close your eyes" He demanded, she obeyed him, she felt a piece of cold metal touch her bare skin a bit below her neck softly.
"Okay you can open them now" He said to her, she did so, looking down to her surprised she wanted to cry, but she was strong, to only turn around to him and giving him her caring and loving eyes. It was a whistle, but this time better looking, carved on it was 'S&S' it was real silver, and it was beautiful.
She hugged him tightly.
He unwrapped Sakura's arm and looked at her with a serious face,
"Sakura, please don't put yourself in danger when I'm performing, I know it's going to be a 3 long hour of performance, but I promise I'll be back in that three hours, so don't do anything reckless. And if you can, Sakura, please don't leave this dressing room, it's far too dangerous for you. But if you have to for some reason, you need to keep a hold on this just in case okay? When people ask you, or stop you from coming back into the dressing room, show them this" Sasuke said pulling a card that said, VIPS with Sasuke's signature and a star on it, it looked more special than any other one.
"Sakura you're the only one that has this excluding me, Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru and Kakashi" He said to her as she took it.
"Sakura, but please, try to be safe for three hours, if you're feeling tired of dizzy or weird, tell the security guard that stands in front of my door, he'll tell me right away no matter what. And don't worry I have discussed with them who you are, and to watch out for you…they'll be knocking on this door to see how you are every so often, alright?" He said to her as he looked at her deep in the eyes, as she tried to absorb all his words.
"But you are not allowed to go out of this building you understand me? It's far too dangerous outside, and it's dark too, there are many maniacs out there, I don't even think stepping out of my room is safe, so just try your best to stay in here. I have my laptop, some movies and books that you can read, watch and use." Sasuke said, his face still plastered on a serious one. Sakura nodded as he held her face with two of his strong hands.
"I also left you a sweater in case you're cold, and if you're hungry or thirsty tell the guard, they'll bring you some food, don't worry I told them you don't eat meat already, and there's a note pad and a pen for you to communicate with the guards, okay?" He said as she nodded again.
"but most importantly, if you're feeling a bit weird tell the guards out there immediately, and they're standing right in front of the door, so it won't be hard, be safe okay?" He said to her as she nodded, his face then painted on a smile, he kissed her quickly on her lips and stood up, leaving out of the door.
Sakura acted on her instinct and followed him, with out him noticing, the guards were surprise, about to follow her, but she turned around a smiled, trying to signal them that she'll be back, somehow they understood.
Walking to the side of the stage, she could hear thousands and thousands of fans screaming the band's name and there was false smoke covered in the air, as different lights beamed everywhere, almost creating an illusion. She stared at how big Sasuke and the rest were, she looked at the crowd closely, some were even crying at their appearance. Soon Naruto started the drums…HE saw Sakura, looking from the side, and he winked at her, as the drums began to go in a faster beat. Soon the Guitars start then the keyboard, before she could hear Sasuke sing, she walked back, before Sasuke finds out and freaks out and just screws up the performance.
(Song they're performing: Goodnight Nurse- My only)
She walked back to where she was supposed to, Sasuke's dressing room, she didn't even need to show her card, because, Sasuke had told the guards clearly who she was. It seems as though they even know how important she was to him.
Walking in, she looked around once more but this time more careful of her surroundings, from the couch to the clothes hung on the rack.
She walked over to the rack of clothes, only to notice a note on each pair of clothing. It was black pants and a white long sleeved shirt with a black t-shirt on top of it. Sakura touched the soft fabric and smiled softly at herself. It had the words 'Outfit for autographs and pictures' so Sakura knew what it was for right away.
She took a quick look around, trying to consume the 3 hours she had until Sasuke was back, she felt pathetic to admit it but already she missed him. Looking around, there was nothing for her to do, except for watching movies, reading books or using Sasuke's laptop, but again she only came to the city recently, technology is still something a bit hard for her. She was really bored, this room didn't have windows, obviously for a celebrity's sake but Sakura hated it when there was no Sun, or nature to see.
Even if Sasuke begged her to stay inside, she felt as if she could explore more outside of this dressing room.
She took the notepad and the pen and wrote down 'I'm just going to look around, I'll be back soon' after she wrote the message, she hung Sasuke's Jacket that he offered on the coat rack and went outside the room.
The guards gave a surprised look but she handed them the note, the two look at each other, not sure should they allow her to go, but they ended up letting her go anyways, it was just walking around backstage, how bad can it be?
Sakura walked down the chaotic hall, after going through another door, after Sasuke's dressing room, only to see more guards, already knowing who she was; since Sasuke was holding her all the way, they obviously didn't miss the pink haired girl.
Stepping through these doors was almost like another world, a chaotic one. Everyone was running and cleaning and just working. She finally noticed, she's in the employees' area. She looked around cautiously, photo's of Sasuke and the group were posted everywhere, and to Sakura's surprise, they look unbelievably gorgeous, except Sasuke looked even better in real life. She touched the poster, only to be interrupted.
"Excuse me, do you want to get fired?" A girl's voice was heard, Sakura turned around, only to get a glare from a blonde haired girl with brown eyes.
Sakura pulled back her hand from the poster and looked at the girl.
"Here, go clean that up!" She said throwing her a mop, and pointing to a puddle of water. Sakura being herself obviously didn't argue but did it.
"Pathetic bitch" those words came out of the girls mouth as she walked away, clearly giving Sakura the job as she did nothing but begged the guards to let her in.
"Hey" a girl said standing in front of Sakura, Sakura looked up to only see a girl stand in front of her with purple eyes and red hair.
"You must be new here" The girl said smiling a soft one at Sakura, as Sakura returned one and agreed she was new.
"I'm Mika, and you are?" She asked looking at Sakura and waiting to get an answer, and only to be surprised when Sakura pulled out a note pad and a pen. Sakura showed Mika the piece of paper, and Mika gave a warm smile.
"Sakura, it fits you really well…are you…" she couldn't finish the question, because she didn't know how to ask in a polite way, but Sakura didn't mind and nodded to the answer of the question if she was mute.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" Sakura smiled and shook her head, meaning that it wasn't anything she was ashamed of. Mika gave a cheerful smile.
"Here, let me do it for you" Mika said grabbing the mop and doing it really quick.
After she was done she pulled Sakura into a room, the room was stuffy and small, with single couch and a table.
"This is the staff's room" Mika said making Sakura sit, as Mika sat on a chair and looked at Sakura who sat on the couch.
"Sorry I had to bring you here, in order to tell you how this place runs, first of all it's full of bitches" Mika said
Sakura looked shocked
"That blonde head girl that was yelling at you was Jessica, she's rich. The only reason she's working here is to try to see Sasuke kun in person." Mika said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
"But then again, who isn't here for that? I gave up everything today to just work today and maybe have a chance to see Sasuke kun." Mika said her voice cracking.
"Just once, I want to meet him…let him notice me…just once! But the rich ones and prettier ones always get to see him! Jessica seen him before, and I heard she slept with him too! I don't get why good things happen to bad people!" Mika said getting all teary, Sakura felt hurt also, not for herself, but for Mika.
"I know this is weird, I mean I just met you and stuff, but you're the only nice one here, everyone else working here are all mean and bullies, they constantly hurt the poorer ones like me since they know we can never visit Sasuke, but just for once I wish I can" Mika said her voice getting cut off.
"I'm a loyal fan of his, I've join every fan club of his, and bought everything of his, I've done everything, but still he never notices me, only the rich ones, I just wish sometimes I'm rich and sometimes I hate my parents for not making enough money! I know it sounds bad, but you don't understand how desperate I am to meet him" Sakura could feel the pain she has, and Sakura felt guilty that she knows him, not just know him, but in love with him.
"Those girls are fans like me, but they hurt others and lie, just to try to get attention! It's sick and dirty I hate it! Meanwhile they make fun of the lower people they get all the rewards."
Sakura looked around as she saw magazines of Sasuke, she picked one up.
"That's my favorite, he just looks super gorgeous there…open it and read what they say about him" She said as Sakura opened the magazine and to his page.
Sakura traced his face on the magazine, she missed him already.
The magazine rated him as hottest male alive, the perfect ideal boyfriend, the flawless and successful one. He's dated many celebrities and is also known for hurting them in the end.
Sakura didn't understand why he would hurt a girls feelings but she was scared that he'll do the same to her now. But then she remember what Naruto told her, and she was now confused.
"Perfect right? The house he lives in right now is amazing, I saw it on cribs, and I just wish I can step in it once, he has such a nice pool!" Mika said smiling, now that Sakura thinks about it, she never got a chance to really pay attention to Sasuke's home to even notice a pool.
"Did you know I actually got an autograph and a picture with him? But he never dared to even look at my face, it was him simply doing it because it was his job, I felt hurt" Mika said, she was such a dedicated person.
"Today's my mom's birthday and i skipped it to go here, just to have a chance to see Sasuke kun, and maybe today he'll notice me." Sakura looked down, she felt horrible, and she felt bad because she knows him when she doesn't deserve to.
Mika looked away, Sakura took the chance and took her 'VIPS' card that Sasuke handed to her and dropped it on the floor. Sakura acted as if she just found it and tapped Mika, and handed it to her, her eyes winked a couple of times.
"Sakura, where'd you get that?" She asked surprised, Sakura pointed to the floor.
"Did god really notice that I'm a good person?! Sakura are you sure you want to do this, I mean you found it" Mika said, a bit upset if Sakura did take it, but Sakura nodded that she wanted to give it to Mika.
Before Mika could even take it, a girl with black hair and bronze eyes walked in, only to have wide eyes.
"What are you doing?! That's mine!" The girl said yanking it out of Sakura's hand harshly.
"I knew it was too good to be true" Mika looked down, Sakura looked up, to only just noticed she's just lost the most important card.
