(a/n: Well I'm glad that someone is enjoying this fic. Really… thank you. Anyway this is chapter two. Well anyway, I think this song called 'Missing' by Evanescence really matches Sakura's thoughts about Sasuke.)
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Naruto!!

Chapter twoSakura looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She looked through her closet, trying to find something to wear. Her red costume is a bit old now so she decided to change another costume. She held up this skirt. Wear this? She took off her jeans and put it on. Hmmm… not bad, but I won't wear this, it's not easy to move when you're wearing a skirt.
Sighing, she took out her old clothes and put it on.

Sasuke was there, as usual. He is always the earliest out of those three. "Good morning Sasuke-kun." He barely looked at her. Sakura sighed. As usual… She never gets responses.
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
"Good weather isn't it?" Sakura said looked up to the sky. Still no response, as if she was talking to the air. Sasuke sighed. "Sakura." He spoke her name as if it's some foreign language. "Why do you even bother."
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
"I don't know." Sakura said. "I like to stand by you, talk to you, even though you don't respond. Sorry Sasuke-kun, I must boring you. I know you hate me and stuff…"
"I don't hate you."
Sakura smiled. "That's what I want to hear."
"You're annoying."
"You're too."
Sasuke scowled and crossed his arms. Then a cheerful voice broke the silence. "Good morning Sakura-chaaaaan!"
"Morning." Sakura said.
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Kakashi-sensei arrived late as they expected. He cleared his throat. "Ahem… you guys have a mission today." Naruto's face lit up. "Really!!! What is it Sensei?? Neh, tell me! Tell me!!" There is eager in his voice. Obvious, he is trying to beat Sasuke.
"Shut up, dobe." Sasuke said calmly. "You're annoying me." Sakura winced. Does he say that to everyone??
Naruto clenched his fist. "Go to hell Sasuke."
"Why should I?"
"Because you're weak."
Sasuke smirked. "Oh yeah… what to prove that?"
"As you wish." Naruto snarled as he raised his left fist. It was Sakura who went between them. "Ahem… excuse me. I'm trying to listen here." Kakashi sweat-dropped.
"Ok. The mission is." Kakashi said, looking at the threes' faces and smirked.

"Ok, why does Kakashi-sensei is telling us to go survive in the woods for four days??" Sakura whined.
Flashback"A woman is living in the woods for a quite a long time." Kakashi explained. "I need you three to destroy her." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Ano sa, ano sa. Kakashi-sensei sa. Why do we have to kill her?" Sasuke sighed.
"Because she is a dangerous nin."
"Aw, she's only a woman!" Naruto exclaimed.
"She's a woman, but she's dangerous." Sasuke said and Naruto glared. "Why you-" Kakashi sighed again. "You need to travel through the woods for four days. That's the quickest way." And with a POP, he disappeared.
End of flashback
"Sakura."
She turned her head around and looked at Sasuke. "Yes?"
"Stop complaining."
"I wasn't."
"You were."
"Whatever you say." Sakura smirked.
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Sasuke eyed her suspiciously. Why is she acting like that? She usually just pouts if he had told her that.

Sakura sat under the tree and gazed up in the sky. She was pretty sure that Naruto and Sasuke are asleep. She can hear the water flowing in the creek. She smiled quietly; she liked that kind of noise. The winds brushed pass her face, strands of hair tickling her face.
She started to sing to herself.
I'm numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.
You give me all but the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Not you, not love, just nothing.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.
"Yo."
Startled, Sakura spun around and saw Sasuke standing next to her. She blushed crimson. "I-I thought you're asleep?!"
"Can't." He replied.
"Oh."
"I like your song." Sasuke told her.
"T-Thanks…" Sakura blushed again. She never liked people to listen to her sing.
"Dedicated to someone?" Sasuke asked. Sakura looked down and whispered. "Yes. I'm telling him my thoughts about him. But it's hopeless, he'll never return my love." Sasuke didn't say anything at this.
Then he got up. Something swept passed Sakura's cheeks, just like feather. "Good night." Did he just kiss her???? Sakura's mind is screaming now. She straightened her face and smiled at him. "Good night, Sasuke-kun."
To be continued…
