A/N: Hello! It's Shadow again. What is this like my third story in the past three weeks?

Sasuke: She has nothing better to do.

Shadow: True… but then I could always stare at you till you get so annoyed you want to claw your eyes out. And then I could stalk you for about 30 days, annoyingly screech your name every time I see you and then I could…. Well you get my point!

Sasuke: (…)

Shadow: Ha, I've rendered you speechless. My mission was a success!

Shadow: Now it's time for… Shadow's Disclaimer Show!

Disclaimer-

Shadow: Sasuke, I have something to tell you. (In dramatic voice)

Sasuke: What is it my love?

Shadow: I'm afraid that… (Voice breaks)

Sasuke: You can tell me anything. No matter what I will always love you.

Shadow: (tears streaming down face) I don't…. I don't own Naruto

Sasuke: (Anime falls) Huh?

Shadow: On…. On with…(Breaks down)

Sasuke: Umm… On with the story. (Question mark above head)

Summary: When eighteen-year-old Sakura Haruno lost her true love in a fatal accident, she dived head first into a world of despair. One year later her pain is much the same. Will she ever love again? Can someone save her from herself? Even if it happens to be the person she hates most in life.

It had been two years now since Sakura's Boyfriend Neji Died. Sadly enough Sakura still felt the agonizing pain of it like it was the day it happened. The day she got the call. The call that had changed her life forever.

" I'm telling you, Sakura you need to get out there. You need to find someone new. I mean for gods sake, you're eighteen. I know your still hurting, but…"

"I know Ino, its just… I loved him. He was my true love. How can I just move on, that would be like cheating… I can't." Sakura Haruno sighed as she once again thwarted Ino's plan to get her back on the market. How could you be with someone else when your true love just died?

She couldn't understand Ino. Ino had, had her heart broken countless numbers of times and yet she still managed to find someone else. Sakura wished she could be as strong as her childhood best friend. But in truth she thought of herself as weak. She didn't think she could live without him.

Then again she had thought that when she had been dating Gaara. He had been her first love and a pretty good boyfriend. Then all of a sudden he wanted space and needed time alone. She hadn't realized that maybe he had wanted to get away from her until a month after he said it. He had left and hadn't come back. Through out that time and a month or so after, she had moped around, never wanting to go anywhere. Ino had finally convinced her to go out with her.

"Come on its only coffee" Sakura sighed. "Fine, but only coffee." Ino had her dress up a bit better then one would if they were only going to get coffee. It turned out the coffee shop was celebrating their 5th and most successful year, and decided to have a party. Loud techno music reached her ears as she and Ino entered.

When you walk away,

You don't here me say

Please, oh baby, don't go

Simple and clean as the way

That your making me feel tonight….

There were a dozen people or so dancing in the area where they normally had tables placed. It was a good song, Sakura had to admit, but she was in no mood to dance. As she followed Ino across the now dance floor, she spotted a really hot guy staring at her.

He had long dark brown hair in a very loose pony tail, unusual white eyes, and was currently dancing with some blond who's clothes didn't leave much to the imagination.

His eyes followed her as she made her way to the bar and ordered a drink. She needed to relax and have some fun as Ino put it.

Ino spotted a cutie on the other side of the room, and decided to introduce herself. Sakura scanned the room as she gulped down her drink. There were lights of all different colors flashing around the room. They seemed to move with the beat.

"Hey, do you want to dance?" "Huh?" Sakura was startled out of her pondering by the guy she had seen just ten minutes ago. "I said, do you want to dance" He must of thought the music was too loud, for he was now speaking louder. "No thank you." "Oh come on, a pretty girl like you should be dancing." "Why?"

"Why. Well for one you looked kind of sad and like I said a pretty girl like you should have some fun. Sakura gave him a dirty look. "Look if you think I'm some kind of-" "It's not like that. I just want to dance with you. In less you can't, then that's fine." He gave her an arrogant smile and turned to leave.

"Now wait just a minute. I can dance, probably better than you too. "You willing to prove that" "Hell ya!" She followed him out to the dance floor. It took a few seconds to warm up, but after that she flowed with the song and with the guy.

Soon she was mouthing the words to him with an arrogant smile of her own, plastered on her face. 'I'm having so much fun' She twirled around a few times and faced her back to him and danced just inches away from him, enjoying the fact that when him came closer she got a bit farther. She danced like this for two more minutes until the song stopped, ready to go get another drink.

"So you are a good dancer." "Told you." "But not better then me." He gave that arrogant smile again, but instead of getting mad like before she stoke out her tongue and lightly chuckled. "It's nice. "What?" "Your smile. It's nice." "Thanks. You showed me a good time. I haven't done anything like that in…. in…" Her smile faded as she remembered why she had been so sad for the past two months. " "What's wrong?" "Oh Nothing. Umm, I got to go now. I had a great time. Thanks."

Sakura got up to leave hoping to find Ino as soon as possible. "Wait, what's your name?" Sakura hesitated at first thinking he could be some serial killer or something like that.

But Sakura had a pretty good judge in character and actually wanted to tell him her name.

"Sakura… Sakura Haruno." "Cherry Blossoms" "Huh?" Oh nothing" "And yours is?" "Neji Hyuuga. Do you think we could see each other again?" "Ah… I don't think that would be wise. But it was nice meeting you, Neji." She walked off into the crowd seeking Ino, so they could get the hell out of there.

An hour later at approximately two-fifteen (In the morning I might add), after many of the couples and partygoers had gone home, Sakura found Ino. Problem was Ino was permanently attached to some guys lips. She made the sign "just two more minutes" with her right hand, but Sakura was tired and wanted to go home.

So she pried Ino off the guy, 'I think it was Shikamara…' and dragged her to the exit. "Damn you Sakura, and I was just getting started, too." It was then that Sakura noticed she no longer had her purse. "I'll be right back. I have to find my purse." She quickly headed back to all the area's she'd been to. Then she spotted Neji again.

As soon as he saw her he called to her. 'I don't have time for this.' "Hey, Sakura. You still here, huh." "Ya, but I'm in a hurry." "Would you happen to be looking for this?" He held up a small black bag that faint pink shimmer on it. "My purse! Thank you, Neji. You saved me a lot of time. Well I'll be going now. Bye."

When she was about to push open the doors, Neji called to her. "Sakura… Who ever he was… He didn't deserve you." His arrogant smirk that she was so accustom to, was replaced by a sad smile. Tears filled her eyes as she took in his words. "I'll see you around, Neji." "I'll be here." She turned away and made her way to the parking lot. Where a very impatient Ino was currently waiting.

That was the day she had met her love. The only one who truly understood, even from the very beginning. She came to a realization as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her love was gone and he was never coming back. She knew he would want her move on and be happy. Truth was she didn't know if she could be happy with out him.

Shadow: So what do you think? Do you… Sasuke? Are you crying?

Sasuke: NO! There's just something in my eye. That's all

Sakura: Well I have the balls to admit I am crying. Poor me. Poor Neji. Why did he have to die?

Neji: Umm… I'm right here.

Sakura: Poor, Poor boy… Lost in the darkness of death and despair…

Neji: Hello?

Sakura: (slams her hand in Neji's face and pushes him down.) I will miss you so.

Shadow: Now whose a few Ninja's short of a squad? Well review if you want. I'm going to the store to buy a whole lot of tissue-

Neji: Someone help me… she's suffocating me.

Shadow: and some band aids.

Neji: HELP!

Shadow: Some big band aids. See you next time.

Sasuke: (On the ground laughing his ass off)

Sakura: I knew him well…

Naruto: (Shaking his head at this unruly display)
