DISCLAIMER::: I DO NOT NOR WILL I EVER OWN 'LOVE THIS WAY' BY EDENS CRUSH OR ANY RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTER. PLEASE AND THANK YOU 33333

--------

I wanna run into someone's arms
Lie on a bed of roses
I wanna feel just like Juliet
I wanna fall in love
I've got a feeling

Sakura kneeled down on the bridge where team 7 met each other for practice, that is before they all went off their separate ways, Sasuke with Orochimaru, Naruto with Jiriya, Kakashi with a new group of students, and Sai teaching at the Academy. Everyone was gone. Tsunade had taught Sakura all she knew and Sakura had quickly learned; now she was left without a sensei or a team. And her boyfriend Shikamaru had broken it off with her to go with Ino to top it all off.

"What's wrong with me?" Sakura asked aloud. "All I want is someone to care for me, to love me."

Everybody wants someone to love
Somebody they can trust
Somebody they can touch
Everybody wants to give their heart away
Everybody needs a little tenderness
To feel understood
To feel passionate
Everybody wants to be in love this way
Everybody wants to be in love this way
I know I do what about you

Sakura stood up and brushed the dirt from her pale shimmery green sundress, which fell softly to her toned, pale thighs. Looking at the reason for her getting up she smiled a small watery grin. "Hiya Naruto-kun." She said softly to the kind and matured boy.

Whether Sakura wanted to admit it or not she had fallen swiftly for the blond man in front of her. He had been the one to comfort her when Sasuke left and had pushed her to go out with Shikamaru despite that fact that he felt for her too, he wanted her to be happy no matter what.

I wanna be somebody's baby
I want to cry and still feel beautiful
Maybe I really just wanna be myself
I'm not the only one
I got a feeling

Sakura's eyes drifted out of focus as she remembered the night five years ago, the night after Sasuke left for Orochimaru again.

"Shhh…. Its okay, I'm still here and I won't leave you, I swear!" Naruto swore roughly into her soft carnation pink hair as he held her tighter. Tears threatened to pour down Sakura's porcelain face but she wouldn't let the flood gates open, afraid of what the tough blond boy would say or think.

"You can cry if you want to Sakura-Chan." He said so softly into her hair that you almost couldn't hear his words. Sakura began to cry in earnest when he said those 9 words to her.

Everybody wants someone to love
Somebody they can trust
Somebody they can touch
Everybody wants to give their heart away
Everybody needs a little tenderness

A slim finger moved to pull a strand of pastel hair behind one ear as she listened to the deep rumble of the mans still slightly hyperactive and playful voice. "Hey Sakura-Chan!"

"What are ya doin' back so soon?" Sakura asked as she glanced into his deep ocean blue eyes, speckled with the age and wisdom a man of his age, 21, should not know as of yet and yet still held all the warmth and innocence of a child's. 'He's had to grow up quicker then I though, quicker then he should have.' She thought to herself as Inner Sakura nodded solemnly.

To feel understood
To feel passionate
Everybody wants to be in love this way
Everybody wants to be in love this way
I know I do
What about you
I do I do doesn't everybody wanna give their heart away
I do I do doesn't everybody wanna be in love this way
Cause I do

Sakura's watery grin turned to tears as Naruto replied, "I came back to see you."

Naruto looked concerned as the crystalline tears fell from the emerald green eyes he loved. "What's the matter Sakura-Chan?" He asked, deep baritone voice carrying all the warmth and care he held.

I wanna feel like an angel
I want to fly on a beam of moonlight
I wanna see heaven from the inside
I wanna feel just like Juliet

Juliet, Juliet

"Nothing… I'm just glad to see you…" And with that Naruto pulled her into his warm embrace and laid his head upon hers.

"I'm glad to see you to…" He said as he placed a warm kiss on her lips. Sakura smiled into the kiss, 'This is better then being Juliet, cause I'm in heaven.'
