A/n- Hello to readers, both new and old. Hopefully, through this chapter, you will see that my writing has changed drastically, and I hope that's not a problem or anything. Well, I can't say it's drastically changed, since this is really impromptu and I didn't get it beta'd or anything. In any case, I do kinda want to finish this fic. But it needs so heavy editing that I"m not sure I'm willing to do. And I don't know the new rules here. 8|
I'm lying, I don't really want to finish it. I'm putting off writing my Backstreet Boys fic, because I'm one lazy twat. But yes. Here's a new chapter that I pulled out of my ass this evening. Review it please, I'm interested to see if I can still write Naruto fan fiction.
~!!~
Sakura looked around her room tiredly, her bright emerald eyes scanning discerningly. Her lips curved upwards in a small smile as she found what she was looking for: a pair of scissors. She quickly padded back into her bathroom, and stopped to look intently at her reflection in the mirror.
Thoughts of Sasuke flooded into her mind. Sasuke's hands weaving through her hair has he held her lovingly. His face buried in her locks as he inhaled her sweet scent deeply. It was almost too much for Sakura to remember. It hurt like hell.
There was a burn everytime she thought of that boy that she had loved. Such a burn. Sakura loved Sasuke, more than anything else in the world. But he broke her. Maybe not intentionally with his poorly thought out acts, be he still did it. His selfishness is what drove them apart.
"Maybe it wasn't meant to be?" Sakura wondered aloud as she held her hair up in the light. She brought the scissors up to her hair and held it. Her hairdresser was going to flip shit.
Pink locks floated down endlessly as Sakura started cutting chunks of hair out. She wanted it gone. The long silky strands of hair that Sasuke loved so much. She wanted it gone, and she damn well wanted it gone now. She tried as much as she could to keep the ends even, but she just figured that she had a hair dresser for a reason.
As the chunks of hair fell of her head like dead weight, Sakura found herself humming pleasantly to herself. A smile was growing on her face, a true smile at her reflection. With one last shake, Sakura eyed herself again
"Not bad, Haruno." she said, truly pleased with her handiwork. She gave her hair another shake, and walked back into her room.
~!~
"-I. Sai! Come on, aren't you hungry?"
Sai forced himself to open his eyes, intent on bashing someone's face in. He was tired dammit, and still nursing a seemingly never ending hangover. The first thing that he saw was Sakura's amused face towering over him. He blinked.
"You cut your hair." Sai said, sitting up and turning to crack his back. He stared at the grinning girl before him, and broke out into a smile himself. It was contagious.
"Uh huh." Sakura said, her smile widening. "It feels great. Like, my head doesn't feel as heavy, and I just look… Older. I like that feeling. But probably not for long, since my hair dresser is going to eat me for chopping my hair to pieces."
Sai chuckled. "Well, I like it. She'll have to deal with me if she's got a problem with it."
Sakura snorted. "My hero. Saving me from my jackass boyfriend and getting me to look better and feel better than I have in years!"
"You're twenty one. "
"Yeah, I've had a pretty tiring three years being with Sasuke. So, you better let me smile."
"Of course. So what in the hell did you wake me up for anyways?"
"Just wanted you to stay up with me and write. I'm really in a song writing mood, and I'd like to have some insight."
"And you're asking me?" Sai asked, his eyebrows raised to his hairline.
Sakura stared at him. "Yes. Maybe just for… you know, emotional support. Come on cranky arse, it'll be good for you.."
Sai sighed deeply and pretended to look annoyed by Sakura's simple request. He nodded anyway, and followed the young woman to her in house studio.
~!*!~
Sakura looked up from laying down the vocals to the simply guitar chords Sai had made up. "How did that sound?"
Sai looked up from the magazine he was reading. "Pretty good, actually. The vocals are kinda lacking though-"
Sakura opened her mouth to snap at Sai, but he held his hand up.
"I just mean you should edit out the double track you used. A single layer would sound more real, you know? Like, this seems to be like a soul giving song, so it should be natural and stuff. Not too much to it. Simple."
Sakura blinked. "That-That sounds like a really good idea. I like it."
Sai shrugged. "I do what I can." he said modestly.
Sakura nodded her head excitedly. "No really, you're right one with your advice! You wanna work with me on this album?"
Sai's eyebrow perked for the second time that night. "Uhm… I don't know…"
"Come on, you could to it unofficially if you would like."
Sai shrugged. "We'll see, Sakura. I just wanted to help a bit."
Sakura grinned. That grin just wouldn't leave Sakura's face, and Sai just wanted to smile along with her. He picked the guitar and strummed a chord.
"Just freestyle a bit, okay?"
a/n- short, I know, but I'm not used to this anymore. I'm a recovering Narutard, over 16 months tardless. :D Reviews would be nice, maybe it would get me to write some mroe of this. I personally think it sucks, but it was written in 45 mintues and is beta less. Writing Naruto again is fucked up, and I'm fairly sure that I don't even remember my OC anymore, much less the Naruto Characters themselves. How sad is that? XD
