Track 3: Enough Cryin'

Naruto woke up the next morning to pink hair and a weight on his chest. He was slightly confused. Why was Sakura in his bed? Suddenly, he remembered the night before.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback begins.

Sakura had just gone to bed in one of the guest rooms that was next to the master bedroom and Naruto was on his way to his own bed from the bathroom. As he passed Sakura's room, he heard a small whimpering sound. As he cracked the door his ears detected the sound of crying, his eyes saw a petite figure tossing and turning, and his heart broke.

Sakura was in the middle of a nightmare, and by the looks of things, it wasn't getting any better. He quickly crossed the distance to her bed and sat on the bed. He softly caressed her cheek and softly called to her.

"Sakura-chan, wake up. You're having a nightmare. Wake up."

Slowly, she began to awaken. She opened her eyes to find a pair of sapphire blue eyes staring back at her, filled with worry and love. She sat up and quickly rubbed her eyes.

"You were having a nightmare, Sakura-chan. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Well, I was running from Sasuke in the woods. He had this crazed look in his eye, like he was going to kill me. He had a scythe in his hand and he kept repeating 'You're cheating on me.' I was so scared." She said, beginning to cry once more.

This time, Naruto embraced her and stroked her back.

"It's okay, Sakura-chan. I won't let anything happen to you. The teme is in the hospital right now, so he can't hurt you."

"How'd he get there?"

"Let's just say his face and my fist had a little chat about what I said would happen to him if he had ever hurt you."

Sakura giggled softly through her tears. Naruto always had the ability to cheer her up when she needed it.

"What did they talk about?"

"My fist reminded his face what real pain felt like. But it's nothing that Tsunade-baa-chan can't handle by morning."

"That bad huh?"

"It was either that or I would have killed him, but I saved that pleasure for you." He smiled.

Sakura laughed again.

"Gee Naruto, you're so considerate."

They both broke out in laughter. After a while, they calmed down enough to put proper sentences together.

"Thanks for being there for me Naruto."

"Hey, what are best friends for? Will you be alright, Sakura-chan?"

"I should be."

"Well, if you need anything, no matter what time, come and tell me. My room is right next door, okay?"

"Okay, thanks again Naruto."

"Anytime, remember I'll always be there for you."

They shared a brief, but comforting hug. That warmth that radiated from Naruto made Sakura feel safe and loved.

"G'night Sakura-chan."

"G'night."

As Naruto left, Sakura tried to settle back to sleep but to no avail. She was scared of falling asleep alone, lest he come after her.

She entered Naruto's room and walked over to his bed. He immediately awoke.

"What is it Sakura-chan? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. I was just wondering if I could stay in here with you. There's a chair in the corner that I can use. You don't have to get up."

"You will not. You're gonna sleep right here with me. Besides, this bed is too big for just one person anyway."

"Really, you wouldn't mind?"

"Would you get in here already?" He said smiling.

She got into the bed next to him and snuggled close to him. Naruto thought it strange for Sakura to be snuggling with him when she had just found out about her unfaithful ex-boyfriend. But he wasn't going to complain about it. The pair soon settled into sleep into each other's arms.

End flashback

As he thought about last night, Sakura started to wake up.

"Morning Sakura-chan, did you sleep well?"

"The best sleep I've had in a long while. Thanks again Naruto."

Naruto nodded, trying to control himself. He had really wanted to kiss her just now. But he knew that she had other thing on her mind, like how she was going to fair when they went to get her stuff.

"Are you ready to go Sakura-chan?"

She knew this was coming, and she was dreading it.

"I guess so."

As they arrived at the Uchiha's house, Sakura took a deep breath. It was now or never. A hand enclosed itself around hers.

"Don't worry. You can do this. I'll be right there with you."

She smiled and knocked on the door.

"S-Sakura, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to get my things. I'm leaving Sasuke. You can have a nice life with Ino. We're through."

'Cause um
The sex was good
You had my mind
And I
I let you come back every time
You would
Violate and cross the line
And you
Knew that I would be the type
To

Always wait so patiently
thinkin'
you was comin' home to me
Well
Damn, I never heard the keys
or
Felt ya taps sayin' are you sleep

"Sakura, I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. I still lo…"

"DON'T EVEN SAY IT SASUKE-BAKA! YOU DON'T LOVE ME! YOU JUST USED ME!" Sakura shouted, her eyes starting to well up with tears.

"I said I was sorry Sakura. What more do you want?"

Rewind that!

'Cause um
The sex was good
You had my mind
And I
I let you come back every time
You would
Violate and cross the line
And you
Knew that I would be the type
To

Always wait so patiently
thinkin'
you was comin' home to me
Well
Damn, I never heard the keys
or
Felt ya taps sayin' are you sleep

"What more do I want? I gave you everything, Sasuke! My love, my time, my energy; I have wasted two years of my live with you and many more pining over you. And you accused me of cheating, when it was you all this time?! Do you know what it feels like when someone betrays you like that! And on top of that you have the nerve to sing your heart out for someone that wasn't me, your girlfriend!"

Don't wanna play house no more
So dumb
To think you gon'
Marry me
I got to be out my mind
To think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something
For me

For the first time in his life, Sasuke was actually scared of his ex. Her fury was second only to Naruto's when it came to her. He'd be lucky if he made it out of this in one piece.

It's time I choose my foes
Choose my friends
Be with my family
Baby, listen girlfriend
Where you been?
We ain't seen you in weeks
Been chasin' this fool around
Thinkin' he gon' hold me down
I would follow his lead
Thinkin' I would be the one
He keep around
When I ain't need
Not ya finance
And all that I needed
Real commitment
I really couldn't see it
Not the real man
Said you was being
In this relationship
So many men think that all a girl needs
Is to be sold a dream
But I won't
Fall for it

"But, you know what? I hope you and Ino have a great life. I'm not going to wish bad on you guys. But you could've at least broken up with me first. It's too late for you to stop me now. I've done enough crying."


Don't wanna play house no more
So dumb
To think you gon'
Marry me
I got to be out my mind
To think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something
For me

Don't wanna
Play house no more
You treat me wrong
Tired of you playin' me
I been lookin' at the front door
This ain't yours
So let me do me
Don't wanna play house no more
No more
Tired of you playin' me
I've done enough
Cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time
I do
Something for Me

Each and every word made Naruto's heart swell with pride as his cherry blossom stood up for herself.

"It's about damn time she did, kit! I was beginning to she was a Sasuke-obsessed air-head bimbo." Kyuubi stated.

Naruto decided to ignore the comment. He was enjoying the show in front of him.


[Rap:
You turned ya back
And back I came runnin'
But the simple fact is that

You ain't want me
I done enough lyin' and cryin'
To myself
Nothin' left to do but move
What else can I do but leave?
I believed you
When Mary need
But now I gotta breeze
I be's with LT
When you come to ya senses
But then it's too late
That's always how it be
Catch me
With the B's on the wheels
Giuseppe on the heels
Shoulda Marc Jacob
Fe-Fe bag me
When you had me
Next dude will gladly
Pick up where you left off
Ice me
Wife me
You ain't gon' have me

Cryin', cryin', cryin'
(Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say
Bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something
For me

Sasuke was about to say something when Sakura cut him off.

"But I haven't even got to your worst offense. Not only did you hurt and betray me, but you betrayed Naruto. He trusted you with taking care of me. I can't believe I made him go through all the trouble to get you back if you were just going to betray us!"


Don't wanna play house no more
So dumb
To think you gon'
Marry me
I got to be out my mind
To think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something
For me

Don't wanna play house no more
So dumb
To think you gon'
Marry me
I got to be out my mind
To think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something
For me

"That's enough Sakura!"

This time Sakura did stop, for it was Naruto voice that boomed in the room. She knew that she had crossed the line with that one. She knew that Naruto had done that for the both of them, not just her.

"Even though what Sakura-chan said is correct, we are still a team. If we are going to be able to work together as a team, we have to put this behind us. Agreed?"

Both Sakura and Sasuke nodded. They knew better than to argue with Naruto while he was like this.

"I'm sorry, both of you. I know I betrayed you two, and I don't expect you to trust me fully as yet, but please give me another chance?" Sasuke asked.

After a night at the hospital, and a night enduring the wrath of the Hokage, he had thought about what he'd done for a while. He almost started crying when he remembered their eyes. Both were angry, yes. But they were also hurt. That day he vowed that he'd do whatever it took to make sure that never happened again.

"We wouldn't have it any other way, teme." Naruto said, giving him a one-handed hug, which Sasuke wholeheartedly returned.

After Naruto backed off, Sakura walked up to Sasuke and hugged him as well. But she made one thing perfectly clear.

"Although I do forgive you, Sasuke, I'm still leaving. That's not going to change."

"I understand. I hope you find someone that cares for you better than I did."

"Thanks, Sasuke. I hope you and Ino do well too. I am expecting nieces and nephews from you two."

Everyone laughed.

Naruto looked at Sakura and this didn't go unnoticed by Sasuke.

"I think I just found the perfect man for you, Sakura."

A/N: YES! I am so proud of myself! The Naruto/Sakura moment was awesome. And Sasuke does have a heart in there… somewhere… underneath all the emo-ness. Well I'm off. As always, please review. Thanks, y'all.
