You Complete Me.
A/N: If you see any typos, please let me know. I don't really check much after I finish writing.

Part 9. So Wrong. By bleedformeee
Sakura was finally ready to take Naruto up on his offer. She wanted some comfort and she didn't care who from. She was tired of spending her nights alone, crying into her pillow. Naruto, sensing her need for some relief to her problems, invited her to hang out with him and Hinata. Of course they were waiting for her at the ramen stand. 'Damn it, what are they doing here?' Shouted inner Sakura as she turned the corner and saw not only Naruto and Hinata, but also Kiba, Shikamaru, and Ino. She didn't mind Shikamaru or Kiba very much, but she didn't want Ino butting in when she tried to confess her problems and insecurities to Naruto and Hinata.
"Sakura!" Called Ino, waving her hand and motioning for her to sit down. They were friends now of course, but Sakura still didn't feel completely comfortable talking to Ino, especially about Sasuke. Sakura trudged over and took the seat in between Naruto and Kiba.
"Hi Sakura-chan," said Hinata shyly, leaning over Naruto. "Naruto said you had something personal you wanted to talk about."
"OOOOH! What is it, Sakura???" Shouted Ino across Shikamaru and Kiba.
"I don't really think I'm ready to talk about it," Sakura replied. 'Not while you're around.' Hinata watched as Sakura glared at Ino.
"Why don't we take a walk, just you and me, while Naruto finishes his ramen?" Asked Hinata.
"Dash a gwood idear!" Shouted Naruto through a mouth full of noodles. He swallowed and added, "I only have a few more bowls to go." Akamaru growled at Naruto and then hopped into Sakura's lap. She jumped, surprised, as Akamaru stood on his hind legs and began licking her face. She giggled and patted him on the head.
"Ah, he likes you." Kiba stated the obvious. Sakura picked up Akamaru and handed him back to Kiba.
"Thanks, I needed that." She smiled at Kiba and ran to catch up with Hinata who had already started walking away.

The two girls walked to the nearby bench and sat down. "So, what's on your mind, Sakura-chan?" Hinata knew how much Sakura meant to Naruto and she wanted Naruto's friends to be her friends too. Sakura noticed Hinata's new confidence and silently praised Naruto for helping the shy girl gain some security and self-assurance. "Does this have something to do with the Uchiha boy?"
Sakura again silently applauded Hinata. Not only did she have a newfound confidence, but she was observant too. "Well, yeah, I guess," answered Sakura.
"Because he left?" Asked Hinata. Sakura nodded her head, fighting back tears. 'No, I won't cry any more,' she thought.
/Wasted thoughts of you
Desperate prayers to you
Give me back my mind
I'm empty inside What have I become?
Everything's undone/
"Do you want to talk about it?" Hinata asked. Sakura stared at her blankly. "Sometimes it helps to just let everything out..." Sakura couldn't hold back any more.
"Well, it's just that, before Sasuke left, I painted him a picture, because I didn't want him to forget us. I didn't want him to forget –me-. I went to his apartment to give it to him, but just being there was painful so I left right away. But he followed me back to my apartment. I thought I was going insane, hallucinating or something. And then he kissed me. And then one thing led to another and we were together in the most intimate way." Tears began to fall. "I didn't want him to leave me. I wanted him to stay so bad, but I knew he wouldn't. He doesn't love me like I love him. When I woke up the next morning, he was gone. Oh, Hinata, I can't get him out of my mind! What if I never see him again?" Sakura had to pause, finally, to take a shaky breath.
/A candle burns here in your honor
My soul a shrine I've built for you
There's nothing left inside me
Nothing left inside but you/
Hinata didn't know what to say. She reached for Sakura and pulled her into a warm hug. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I know you will get through this." Sakura hugged Hinata back. She knew that nothing Hinata could say would really make her feel better. She just wanted someone to listen, to know her pain.
Sakura walked home in silence. "Maybe Hinata is right. Maybe I can get over this."

/Can't seem to pretend
This night needs to end
I can't fill this hole
You are all I know/
Sakura sighed as she climbed into bed. She closed her eyes and an image of Sasuke popped into her head. Her eyes snapped open. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She shouted.
It's so wrong that I need you
It's so wrong that I need abuse
It's so wrong that I need you
So wrong that I'm scared I'll die alone
A/N: Thanks to my reviewers for making me smile and for making me want to continue! ^_^
