Me: Hey I'm back with another songfic. The idea for this song fic is from Shadw :-)

Sakura: I can't believe you did one of me and Sasuke!

Me: I know, but I am actually proud of how this came out! They may not be my fav couple, but I am still proud of my work!

Sasuke: I'll be the judge if it is good or not.

Whatever it Takes

By: Lifehouse

A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know

Sasuke looked at the pink haired Kunoichi that was begging him to stay. Big tears fell down her emerald green eyes. Each tear cut deep into Sasuke's heart, but at that time, there were more important things than a girl's love for him. He needed to get stronger. His Chidori is no match for Naruto's Rasengan. Sakura kept up with her pleas.

"On that day, you taught me that solitude is painful! I understand that so well right now. I have family, and I have friends but if you're gone... to me... It will be the same as being alone." She yelled with tears still streaming down her face. That single moment was etched into Sasuke's mind. On that day that he left Konoha, his friends, his Genin squad, and Sakura behind he vowed that if he ever returned, that he would make it up to her, but right now unspeakable power called him, and that was what he wanted.

Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay

That day was years ago, the Dobe convinced Sasuke that destroying Konoha would do nothing and would make everything Itachi did be for naught. He also convinced him that everything was Madara's fault, which is true, and Sasuke could see it. Now power does not matter, revenge no longer holds value. The only thing that matters now is trying to make it up to the pink haired girl that loved him and who he hurt so much.

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes

Sasuke went looking for Sakura. He had been back in the village for about a week and was now on probation. He was taken into the interrogation center where Ibiki Morino had his sadistic fun making sure Sasuke did not plan on betraying the village twice. He was free of charges since he never attacked the village and never killed a leaf shinobi, but that did not matter right now. His charcoal eyes longed to see those emerald eyes again.

He found her sitting on a bench, the bench where he put her to sleep the night he left. Sasuke sauntered over to the medic ninja and realized how she changed. She was far more womanly now, and was most certainly not the same weak girl that begged him to stay all those years ago.

"Hey, Sakura-chan." He said in his usual tone. Sakura looked up at him and tears began filling her eyes. These tears, however, are tears of joy. Sasuke and Sakura caught up, and talked about how stupid he was and how pathetic she was. Eventually they came to the topic of what to do now. Sakura, who had been dreaming of this moment for years, already knew what she needed to say.

She said "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"
She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"

Sasuke was taken aback by the pink haired girl's words, but he realized she was completely right. He needed to let her into the darkest places of his soul and hope she still liked what she saw. He began opening up to her; he told her about his time with Orochimaru, the secret behind the Uchiha massacre, his old plan of killing Naruto, and his old ambition to destroy Konoha and watch it burn. Sakura took everything he said in. It was definetly not what she was hoping to hear.

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better

Sasuke crossed his fingers hoping she would accept him, hoping that she would still love him, and hoping that they could pull off a relationship. He was willing to work for it. Even if she did not accept him, he already had a plan on how to gain her acceptance of him. He knew she could do better than a lowly traitor, for goodness sakes she is nominated for head medic! She could most certainly do better than a transvestite's pupil. Sakura saw the look in Sasuke's wary eyes and told him.

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over

Start over? That is a brilliant idea. Sasuke nodded as he took Sakura's hand into his.

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
and believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes

He swore this to himself as they left to go out to dinner hand in hand.

Me: So how was that Sasuke-kun?
Sasuke: Hn.
Me: I'll take that as an I rock! haha! Anyway my next song fic will be a NejiTen with the song Bring Me to Life!
Naruto: PLEASE REVIEW AND CONTINUING READING! BELIEVE IT!
Sasuke: Where the hell did you come from, Naruto-dobe?!?
