Misha's notes: I'm starting to run out of things to say…..XD…I just realized that writing humor is harder then I thought…I'm normally a hyper and Dramatic person, but for some reason, when ever I type something, it sounds angst…and I HATE angst. Must have something to do with star signs (I believe in those things…..I know I'm a loser…XD...) Anyway,
One Azn Dragon: Oh for the love of god! One you are not impressing anyone with your japanese! (… I am NOT trying to impress anyone!!!!!!) Two, everyone is so outta character! (Oh, I forgot to put a warning on that…) Three, please do not ever use words like nvm, OMFG, and other bull shit like that! It gets very fucking annoying! ((Twitch, Twitch) GEEZ, YOU'RE LIKE THE ONLY ONE THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT!...god!!! I'll write them in full form, DAMN IT!)
Other then that, I like how the story is progressing.(……) Chapter one was shit,(..!) chapter two was little less then shit (..!!), chapter three was much better, cept for the nvm omfg type crap (…!!!!!!!!!!) and four was a gigantic change.(…uh…) I am very impressed. I will be keeping a look out (um…)
OVERALL- Err…-blink- I have no clue how to respond to that…uh…should I be mad or glad? Uh…thanks for being truthful?
Smiter- XD I know but I can't help it. Thanks for the criticism! I'll try and keep your advice to my mind while working this Chapter!
Scorpian05- Teehehe…Wow, you're such a nice person! You'd catch Iruka when he faints? I'd just leave him there…XD Bah…just kidding, I'd try to catch him. Sakura will be very, very confused in this chapter.
Kpxiceboi- OoOoOo….Lucky you!! I've never had Korean bbq before, I just know Choji likes it…lol. Is Korean BBQ where you fry Beef on this Skillet pan thingy? Because if it is, I tried doing something like that with a live crab once and the crab attacked me.
Naruto: Yea, and the reason why she didn't KILL the crab like what normal people would do, is because she didn't want to take a life. That idiot…
Misha: s-shut up…--;;
Naruto: AND right after the crab attacked her, it ran off and she found it a month later dead under the sofa.
Misha…yea...that was scary. I thought it was a humongous cockroach. XD
Anyway, you think its fun?! Yay! So please tell me what you ate in Korean BBQ! Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 5- Feelings confused
Mrs. Haruno looked at her daughter with worry. It had been three days since Hinata's visit, and she hadn't been eating much. At first, she thought it was her ridiculous diet-but later on, she realized it had nothing to do with physical but rather emotional feelings, and chose to talk to her. After all, it's always proper for a mother to ask what was wrong when her daughter was feeling gloomy, wasn't it?
Sakura sighed for the 10th time, while poking at her dessert. She had barely eaten the main course when her mother shoved the soft cream decorated strawberry gelatin dessert right in front of her face. Her mother had took the day off, only to spend it on making Sakura's favorite dessert, which she usually only made when Sakura's birthday was coming up. Why would her mother do such a thing? To cheer up her daughter, of course. Mrs. Haruno watched the dessert jiggle and asked
"Honey, aren't you going to eat the jelly cake?"
"…hhmm…"
"Sakura, dear?"
Sakura couldn't hear her mother. She was thinking about what Hinata had said. "That makes it a bigger reason why you should be the one that retrieves him." Sakura sighed. 'Oh Hinata, I know I should, but it will be nearly impossible for me to find him, and even if I do, what will I do then?' Sakura's eyes closed until she only saw the pinkness of the dessert, engulfed in darkness.
'Besides, I don't even know if he hates me or not… or…whether or not he lov-'
Sakura snapped her eyes open, and stabbed the dessert. 'I did not just think that...No way!! I…I'm not attracted to Naruto!' She listened to the voice of inner Sakura. Well, tried to anyway. For once, Inner Sakura was dead silent. 'Y-yeah!...I-I'm attracted to Sasuke, right?!'
"Sakura..!"
"..." 'Right?!'
"Sakura!!"
Sakura jerked her head up and stared at her mother.
"I am not-?!...I mean uh…yes, mom?"
Her mother blinked. '?'
"Sakura, finish your dessert, take a shower, and I will meet you in your bedroom when you're done."
"…Why…?"
"You'll see" her mother replied.
Even though she didn't feel like it, she manages to swallow every bit of the delicious dessert, although her stomach felt like giving it all back to the plate. When she was done, she realized that today was her turn to do the chores, so she set up all the plates and carried them to the sink. She opened the Faucet, took out the Dish washing liquid soap and opened the Radio. The radio was playing Ningyo Hime (1). She sighed. This song made her feel at ease, which was a feeling that she hadn't had for 3 whole days. As she washed the dishes, she kept it on, humming the tune.
Yoru no machi ha shizuka de fukai umi no you
At night, the town is quiet like the bottom of the ocean
She filled the sink with water and started to scrub the dishes with a sponge mat. She continued to hum the song.
Tsudzuku michi ni tada ATASHI hitori dake tooi koe o tayori ni aruite yuku no
I continue down the road by myself; guided by the distant voice
Sakura held up the plate and examined her reflection. She was quite pretty, at least that was what Ino had said before they had there 'rivalry' thing for Sasuke's love. Sakura glared at her reflection. Why had she bothered to like Sasuke anyway? That person would never love anyone. Sakura felt stupid for falling for such a guy. (2) She decided she had been a complete fool for hoping Sasuke will love her after all this time. Hell, he may care, but it wasn't beyond friendship. Was it ever even Friendship?! The only person that cared was…
Zutto sagashiteru sotto hikaru aoi hikari
I keep searching for the soft blue light
Naruto.
Sakura opened the Faucet and let the water run down her hands. After returning to work, she sang:
Nee, ATASHI o mitsukete soshite yonde KOKORO de
donna ni hanareta toshite mo kikoeru kara
Hey, I discovered myself within and my spirits call out to me
No matter how far away I am, I can hear it.
She washed 3 more dishes. '2 more to go!' She took out the fourth dish and washed it with the sponge.
' Naruto loved me. And I'm the one that let him down. I made him leave'
She didn't bother for the next verse, because she knew after this one, she wouldn't be able to sing it.
gin no akari ga tomaru sorezore no heya
kitto doko ka niha iru to negai nagara aruku
The silver light burns within every room
I walk around hoping for it anywhere, surely.
Because she didn't get him back yet.
nee ANATA o mitsukete soshite nido to wasurezu
donna ni mune ga itakutemo soba ni iru no tsunaida te o hanasanai kara
Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
I'll never release Your hand that I held
Sakura washed the last dish in silence. When she was done, she crept upstairs to take a shower. As she went up, the last verse couldn't help but haunt her. While letting the cool water wash over her tired body, she wondered what she and Naruto- no! Not! No way! She'd never consider Naruto as a Romantic Interest! She and Sasuke! Yes! That's right, she and Sasuke, Sakura confirmed to herself. Not Naruto, not ever. A strange twinge of pain hit her heart when she thought of it. Uh……there'll be a chance though! The pain in her heart seemed to lessen as she thought of it that way. "What's wrong with me?" She wondered out loud. And also the twinges of pain and Happiness always seemed to score high when ever she thought about Naruto.
She stepped out of the Tub and grabbed a towel. "What's happening to me??" She put on her loose fit pajamas that had pink bunnies scampering across an orange field. As she stared at her reflection, her eyes darted at the orange fields on her pajamas. Those reminded her of that annoying jumpsuit Naruto always has to wear. 'Gawd….that idiot has no fashion sense' she continued, 'When we're a couple, I'll make him get rid of that thing' she thought, furrowing her brow.
Naruto was quite cute, and not to mention handsome, if he kept quiet and went to one of those thinking moments. He was especially cute when he pouted. And when he- 'Oh GAWD! I did not just say Naruto is cut and handsome!' She gasped and glared at her reflection. 'And he is soooooooo not my boyfriend!' She absentmindedly swayed fromside to side. 'Think of Sasuke, Sakura. SASUKE'
"Sakura!!!" her mother yelled. "What's taking so long?!" Sakura blinked. "Uh…sorry mom, I'm coming!"
She ran to her room and found her mom sitting and looking around touching her stuff.
"Sakura, honey, What's this?" Her mom picked up the picture of her and Naruto. Sakura, instantly embarrassed, tried to grab it away from her mom.
"MOM! That's mine!!!!" Mrs. Haruno grinned as her daughter unsuccessfully tried to take it away. Sakura's mom looked at it. "Isn't that the person that painted Hokage-sama's face a year ago?" Sakura paused to remember. "Yep, that's him."
"GIVE IT BACK MOM!!!" (3)
"hehehe…Why's he that important anyway…Do you like him?" She said gently.
" Mom!!! Uh…Of course……I don't like…him..." Sakura replied. Her mom gave her back the picture and looked at her gently. "You sound pretty uncertain..." She looked up and tried to smile. "Maybe because I am…?"
"Sakura, you love the weirdest people…"
"Gee…Mom, that really makes me feel better in this type of situation…" Sakura said sarcastically.
"So…Is this why you've been depressed these past three days?"
"……………………"
"A HA!" Her mother grabbed her and hugged her till she couldn't breathe. "My little Sakura blossom is GROWING UP!!!!" She yelled, sniffing.
"…MOM!!!" Sakura tried desperately to wriggle away. "It's not that big of a deal, okay..."
Her Mom then pepped up, "Of course it is!!, Now what's the problem??-Having trouble telling him you like him??"
Sakura looked down. Her Mom noticed and continued, gentler this time.
"Or is it because you did something that hurt him, and he won't look at you in the face?"
Sakura looked up. "…………something like that…"
Her mom sat down on the bed and positioned her to sit down. When she did, her mom asked grimly, "ok, what did you do?"
Sakura looked down. "I made him go" Sakura expected her mother to ask what she meant. However, her mother did the exact opposite.
"Oh, let me guess. You hurt Naruto's feelings, and made him run away. And then by the time he runs away, you realize he's more important to you then you thought. Now, you are going through a lot of depression and extremely confused about your own feelings for Naruto."
Sakura could've died right there.
"H-how'd you know?!"
Her Mom gave her and obvious look. "I'm your mother. Obviously, I'd notice these things."
Sakura blinked. "So, what do you think I should do?"
Her Mom shrugged. "I don't know"
Sakura glared. "WHAT?! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW?!"
Her Mom glared right back. "Don't yell at your mother!!"
"…sorry"
"It's ok…but tell me this"
Sakura inched closer to her mom.
"Do you love Naruto?"
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
Forever
Forever
As a silent night approached, shadowing and swallowing up Konoha in her Darkness, the last verse of the song seemed to float in the air, as a silent cold reminder of Naruto's disappearance.
NUMBER THINGIES!
From Chobits by Rie Tanaka. Sounds sort of sad but it's better than Harumonia!! In my opinion anyway.
My favorite character is Sasuke, so…uh…yeah.
Is your relationship with your parents like this? My Dad's and mine are! Also, I'm just imagining how Sakura's Mom's personality is. I don't think she's actually like this, but hey, it's MY fic!
VOCABULARY (Kind of useless though…)
Ningyo Hime: Mermaid Princess
Misha's Slice of Heaven!
Hey, err…..I don't know if you know why I put Ningyo Hime to this chapter. I think it's because in a way, it's sort of like signaling Sakura that she loves Naruto, and the song probably shows her true feelings, although she herself may not know. It might be fate that the song with most meaning was heard at her time of need. Ok, I'll stop talking like Neji now…
O My God! I lost to dad on my chicken wing contest!....Greeeeaaaaaaat…now I have to treat the whole family to pizza. --;;…He was done with 15 chicken wings when I was done with 5. Awwww...And I'm broke too! I bet ya'll are tired of reading only on Sakura, so Sasuke and Kakashi will be on the next chapter!!!! And will Naruto be making his appearance?! (Tries to stir up excitement as Crickets chirp)
The next update will be on Saturday morning or afternoon. If not, then It's ether I don not have much or none reviews at all, or I'm shopping, or I slept at 3 am and will wake up very late…XD Also, I have my Science regents next week. DAMN! Must study, must study, must study.
REVIEW KUDASAIIIIII! NOT C!!! A K!!! MWAHAHA!!!
Naruto: Err…I think she's drunk again…Review or she won't update the story.
