~Half Full Half Empty Part I~

Sakura stood at the edge of the toilet seat and ran through her hair with her shaking hands. Her once radiant pink hair was now of a tint of her shade...her milky white pale skin was now blotchy pink. The celebrity then rested her head on the cold tiled wall and then slowly closed her eyes to close out the light in the restroom.

For a second, she then threw her head in the seat and threw up. She then went over to the sink and flushed her face and mouth. With the water still running, Sakura looked at the mirror which displayed a blurry vision of her reflection...a small tear strolled down her cheek as she slid open the medicine cabinet and took out her toothbrush and toothpaste.

She squeezed the paste onto her brush and then brushed her teeth as her emerald green eyes settled onto her reflection. After a few spits and washes, Sakura then went into her room and pulled out some clothes to wear for the day. The pink-haired girl then got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen to make herself a quick meal. She looked at the message machine and felt disgusted at the number of messages she received.

63 messages.

The newest message played, "Sakura?? Are you there?? Baby I'm soo sorry about what had happened...and I know that you're probably sick of my messages, but hear me out. Please?" Sakura got her keys with a shaking hand and then went out the door to the driveway.

When she got to her car, she got a quick chance to look at her surroundings...as the cool breeze swirled its way past her hair. She got into the vehicle and then turned on the ignition and looked at her rearview mirror. She then turned it off when she saw a mother and child walking together down the street. The little girl resembled a miniature Sakura as she wore her backpack and school uniform as the mother held her hand securely and walked her down the street...passing Sakura.

Without a hesitant, Sakura put her keys down and looked at her mirror...another tear streaked down...With a shake of her head, she then turned on the ignition ignoring her inner feelings and drove off.

"Miss Haruno, would you please go to the top and repeat the first two verses for us?" one of the producers turned up the volume in the screening room and put on his headphones.

"Ok," Sakura then fumbled her pages back to the beginning and put on her headphones back onto her head and then sang a few verses but then stopped, "I'm sorry...could we do this later? I need to clear my head," Sakura left the room without giving her producers and director their consent.

Sakura went into the ladies' restroom and then went over to the sinks and turned on the water. She washed her face with cold water a few times and then turned off the faucet and dried her face with some towels. The girl looked at her pale skin and realized that it was more pale than usual, ignoring it...she then exited the restroom only to run into a familiar face.

"Sakura?" Akihiro ran into Sakura as she was on her way out.

Ignoring him, She continued her way to the screening room, but Akihiro stopped her. "Sakura? Did you get my messages? I called you like millions of times...and I was wondering if you want to get back together with me,"

Sakura gave him a sympathetic look and shook her head, "I'm sorry, I don't have time for this," she then turned around but Akihiro's words stopped her.

"It's that guy isn't it?"

Sakura closed her eyes and then walked away without giving him an answer.

It was a bright afternoon and the birds were chirping in the small branches of the trees nearby. A guy was standing near the brick wall of a bar and he lit a cigarette. His dark raven hair shimmered in the light, as his biker wear looked brand new...his dark shades covered his mysterious eyes. Some cute girl passed by him and checked him out, but he ignored them. He had only one girl set on his mind.

Just then, a bartender that was a head taller than him called out to him. "HEY! There's a phone call for you Sasuke," He then answered the phone.

"All right, fine..." he then hung up with those words hanging on the line. Sasuke then exited the bar and hopped onto his motorcycle and turned on the ignition and then drove off down the avenue.

Sakura set herself down onto a bench in a public park where the trees swayed freely as if dancing with the wind. Children and toddlers of all ages were playing in the playground as their guardians watched them with the eyes of a hawk. The pink-haired girl put on her pink shades and then shakily got out her water bottle and took a few sips right when a little girl...about 7 years old came up to her with her newest CD in her hand.

"My mommy and I like you," the little girl flushed in her cheeks as she stood before the celebrity and then handed her the CD, "could you sign please? Mommy and me will be happy, and I think you are pretty,"

Touched by her words, Sakura gratefully got out a pen from her purse and signed her autograph for the little child. Flashing a smile, the little girl then ran back to her mom yelling out that she met Sakura. With a gasp, she was then swarmed with children and adults marveled by her presence in such a public place. With the crowd staring some commotion, this then brought in the paparazzi and reporters.

"Miss Haruno!! Would you please tell us what you are doing here?"

"Miss Haruno! Please Miss Haruno!! How would you comment on your breakup with Akihiro?"

"Miss Haruno!! Is it true that you are seeing this mysterious stranger who had saved you from being mugged?"

These questions harassed Sakura and as she was trying to get away someone grabbed her by the arm and she disappeared with that person from the crowd. The person put a finger to her mouth to shush her, and Sakura was surprised to see the person.

"Sasuke?" as he let go of his finger and greeted her, "what are you doing here?"

"I came to check up on you, since last night you were hopeless," Sasuke reminded her as they both stood in the shade.

"..." Sakura looked down on the grass.

"Is something wrong?" Sasuke looked down at Sakura who had a depressed look on her face.

Sakura looked at him and smiled...and then frowned, "Have...have you ever...have you ever wondered if life was worth living?"

"Are you being suicidal?" Sasuke broke the ice. Just then the reporters found them behind the oak tree and then started for them, but Sasuke quickly ran with Sakura to his bike and then hastily drove off. "My car!!" Sakura yelled.

"Later!!" Sasuke said among the reporters who were running after them, but some gave up.
