The Rules:
1. Choose any character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

The ItaSaku List
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Song: This Is Halloween
It was Halloween night, and the local gang, Akatsuki, was on the prowl.
Itachi and Kisame split from the others head off, but they split again until it was only Itachi on his own.
Just when he was turning a corner, he heard a sniffle – feminine and young sounding.
He smirked, stepping towards the sound.
"Scared already? It's Halloween."
A pink head lifted from the corner of the alleyway.
"I'm not scared of plastic and fabric. I'm scared of you."
Itachi's smirk widened. "As you should be."
Artist: Three Doors Down
Song: Ticket To Heaven
Sakura stared up at the man she was healing.
"Are you scared, Itachi-san?"
It surprised him, but he didn't let that show. "Why would I be scared?"
"Your life style." She stated it like it was so obvious.
"I suppose not." He murmured carefully. "Though… It's a little too late to turn back now, hm?"
She gave a sharp nod then continued on.
But they both knew he was running, still.
Artist: t.A.T.u.
Song: Stars
Itachi watched her from his place in the front seat of his car, unmoving. He was quite sure what to do. He knew it would be hard to break up with his long-time girlfriend, but… Did she have to cry?!
Sakura shook his hand off her. "Just take me home."
--
Flashback
"I love you, Sakura. Go out with me."
It was the one and only time that he'd ever say that.
End flashback
--
'Why wasn't it enough?'
"I'm sorry."
"Me too, Itachi-kun."
Artist: Dream
Song: He Loves Me, He Loves You Not
Sakura smirked, he hands fiddling idly with a daisy that sat on her doctor's desk.
She slowly began pulling off the petals, one-by-one.
'He loves me… He loves you NOT.'
Currently, she was watching her boyfriend, the handsome Itachi Uchiha, get flocked by girls.
'Every. Single. Time!'
But she was fine with it, really.
Why?
Because she knew that he loved her (even if he doesn't say it that much…), not them.
And it was mutual.
"Hn. Sakura."
"Hey yourself." She grinned and she kissed his lips, right in front of them all.
'Ha!'
Artist: t.A.T.u.
Song: Not Gonna Get Us
"Sakura, you shouldn't date him. He's in a gang – Akatsuki, no less!"
The pink-haired girl shook her head stubbornly.
"No, Ino. I love him. Please don't try to-"
--
"-Split us up. I'd appreciate it, you let us alone, Otouto; Kisame."
"You're going soft! Tch. She'll be gone by the next week."
"Leave my friend be, Aniki."
--
"I can't take it, Itachi-kun!"
She always was fragile and more prone to break.
"Shh. I know. But it's okay. Know why?"
"Wh-why?"
"I love you."
And she smiled. "I love you, too."
Artist: Finger 11
Song: Paralyzer
Now if you asked her, she'd say it was love at first sight.
Ask him and you'd get…
"Hn. What does it matter?"
…
However, if you asked me, then you'd know that Sakura walked into the night club, bumped into Itachi and at least five waiters while ogling his younger brother, then said younger brother's idiotic best friend locked them accidentally in a closet. When they came out, they were a couple.
Of course, neither will ever admit that, so just stick with me, hmm? Ino at your service!
Artist: Dashboard Confessional
Song: This Ruined Puzzle
"Hey, Sakura-chan? Mind if I borrow your book?"
Sakura sighed. "Aw, come on, Naruto. I haven't finished it yet."
"Please?" He pouted. "I just want to check something."
"… Fine. But be quick."
"Thanks!"
--
"Here." Naruto said, thrusting the book out at the person in front of him.
"Hn, thanks."
--
"Here, Sakura-chan!"
"'Kay. I don't think I want to finish this after all. It's pretty boring."
"Ack! Please finish!" And while passing it, a little note fell out.
She raised an eyebrow.
'Go out with me. - Itachi'
"YES!!"
--
The Uchiha smirked at the shout echoing throughout the school halls…
Artist: DDR
Song: Bumble Bee (Cady: Oi… Toughie..)
"Otouto, what are we doing here?"
"Shh, Aniki! This is the new club and I wanted to check it out."
Itachi Uchiha sighed at his little brother. "Fine, fine. But let's hurry up, hmm?"
"'Kay…"
"And now-!!" The host started, his blonde hair spiked up like sun rays. "Haruno Sakura-chan singing … BUMBLE BEE, by DDR!!!"
Sasuke blanched at seeing his best friend announcing his other best friend to come out on stage. "… Oh no."
Itachi raised an eye brow. "Hmmm?"
And Sakura came out, singing the song, as promised from Naruto, quite happily bouncing about.
"… Let's go, Aniki. PLEASE."
"… No, I'd rather stay."
Sasuke tripped on his own face. "WHAT?!?! You want to stay and listen to this crap?!"
"Yes."
"Have fun. Aniki…" And as he walked out, he muttered under his breath, "I know he likes her, but I think he has now officially lost his mind … or fallen in love. Yuck!"
Artist: Evanescence
Song: Memories
Sakura watched Uchiha Itachi walk out of the village, silent as was his custom. He was going for yet another suicide mission, but this one was different and he'd already completed the first half of it.
He had killed his entire family, save for one Uchiha Sasuke.
She knew, 'cause he told her these things. He always did.
Really, she wasn't quite sure why – she was only eight, after all.
Still she knew that she would never forget this night. The night her first actual friend walked out. On her, it felt like.
But she would keep with his promise.

Flashback
"Take care of him, okay? Take care of my little brother."
"'Kay, Itachi-kun! I promise."
End Flashback
--
Why did she do that?
Well… He had asked the same thing.
--
Flashback
"Why do you do these things for me?"
"I love you, Itachi-kun! Duh…" She had stated, in all her naiveté.
End Flashback
--
"I'll take care of him, Itachi-kun. But I will miss you."
'All of my memories will help me, though, and I promise to do this 'mission' well.'
After all, all she had left were those memories to push her on.
Artist: Three Doors Down
Song: When I'm Gone
"Sakura. I can't tell you everything. You do know that, right?"
"Well, yes, but still… Tell me about this mission. Please? You tell me EVERTHING!!!"
Itachi gave a small chuckle at the eight year old.
"… Well, can you handle it? I can't even tell Shishui."
"Not even Shisui?!?! But he's your best friend!"
"Exactly."
Sakura pouted. "Ano. Aren't I also your best friend? I could be closer then Shisui!"
He 'tch'ed at her naïveté. "Friend, yes, but… Listen, Sakura. I'm leaving."
"Leaving? Konoha?"
"Yes. It's part of my mission."
"… And what's the other part?"
"… Killing Shisui and all other Uchihas."
"… Oh. This isn't a joke, is it, Itachi-kun?"
"No, I'm afraid not."
"Can you do me a favour, Sakura?"
"Yes! What is it?"
"Take care of him, okay? Take care of my little brother."
"'Kay, Itachi-kun! I promise." Then she paused. But what about… "I thought that you had to kill all the Uchihas, though."
He smiled. "Yes. But still…"
"Alright, Itachi-kun. Whatever you say."
"Why do you do these things for me?"
"I love you, Itachi-kun! Duh…" She stated naïvely.
"Well, then, Sakura… Love me when I'm gone…"
"… Of course."
AN: Done! DeiSaku next.
