Summary: What if Sasuke never left for power? What if their lives went on, as they would have? And what if Sakura started liking a certain blonde-haired ninja a little too early for Sasuke's liking? What if their world is different from what it really is? This is reality, and its hitting them all a little too hard.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Naruto. If I did, many more plot twists & much more Sakura liking Naruto-ness.

Ch.11- Deja Vu

Naruto's POV

It was fine that Sakura had something to do. I did as well.

Hmm… maybe she forgot.

Nah! Sakura-chan would never forget our anniversary! She'd probably think I would though.

That's how I'll surprise her.

I walked down the street some before stopping in front of a store. I peered into the window to see if it was still there.

A diamond necklace.

I smiled, remembering what Sakura had said.

Flashback

Sakura and I were just walking along one day when she ran out of my arms. I smiled as I followed after her. I looked to see what she was looking at in the window of this store.

It was a jewelry store.

"What are you looking at Sakura-chan?" I asked, looking into the window as well.

"This," she said, pointing to the necklace.

"Wow. That's beautiful," I said quietly as we continued to look.

"Yeah, it is. I've always wanted it, but I've never had the money," Sakura said before turning to me.

"You know… this would make a very nice present, you know?" she said in her sexy voice.

I chuckled. "Maybe."

End Flashback

'Sakura… I love you so much,' I thought to myself, still looking at it. I stood back, going through my pockets, checking to see if all my money was still there.

I've been saving this up since I was little, but Sakura deserved it.

Seeing it was all there, I went inside.

:) :p ;)

I sighed happily coming out of the store, holding a black velvet box in my hands. "Now… to Sakura's. She won't mind me coming up on such short notice, seeing what day it is and all," I said to myself before doing a few hand signs and "poofing" right in front of Sakura-Chan's house.

I knocked on it and placed a smile on my face, holding the box out while ready to say, "Happy Anniversary Sakura-chan!"

I waited. And waited. And waited some more.

But Sakura never answered the door.

I knocked again. Sakura probably just didn't hear it the first time.

But she still never answered.

Now I'm confused. Sigh… well, Sakura won't mind me just coming in, will she? Besides, if she gets mad, this present will calm her down.

I sighed before slowly reaching for the knob…

:) :p ;)

I gasped. I couldn't believe what I saw, or was seeing.

There was my girlfriend, in the hands of that bastard, and worse, they were making out.

Now I know that Sakura was having a hard time figuring out her emotions for the two of us, but damn it! She is my girlfriend, and I'm not giving her away to Sasuke!

I let out a small growl, my fists clenching.

"Na-Naruto! It…It's not what it looks like!" Sakura yelled out to me, her arm outstretching towards me.

"Oh yeah right!" I spat back at her.

She would have ran into my arms. I knew she would.

And would have gladly let her. After all, I still loved her.

But that bastard's grip on her waist tightened, telling me body-wise that she was his, and she wanted him, not me.

Was he wrong.

My anger soon died down quicker than I thought, my heart aching at the scene, making my emotions throb with sadness, no matter how mad I wanted to be at the moment.

My eyes wanted to cry, as me. But I couldn't. Not in front of Sakura-chan.

Not in front of him.

I dropped the box in my hand, the contents falling out of it.

I loved Sakura-chan so much, it hurt.

I planned to give her a diamond necklace, for our 1-month anniversary. She would never have believed that I remembered. But I remember everything that has to deal with her.

With us.

The necklace was one more step towards my goal of marring her one-day. I knew she would have loved it. Every part of it.

But now, I just couldn't do it.

Now after what I saw.

"Sakura… I loved you. How could you?" I said to her, to them. Yes, I said loved. I still love her, I always will.

But will she always love me?

That's what I have to find out.

"Naruto please! Just listen!" she yelled to me again, but I couldn't.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly, almost too quiet for me to hear, but I didn't care.

I turned and ran, out of the house, and out of her life.

Forever.

Sakura's POV

I knew Naruto was there. I could feel him.

I knew he would find me.

But I would have never thought it would have been this fast.

I had pulled away from Sasuke when I heard him, seeing his face, a mixture of anger. And hurt.

"Na-Naruto! It… It's not what it looks like!" I said to him, reaching out to him while trying to reach out of Sasuke's grasp, but his arms tightened more around my waist, pulling me closer to him more than I already was.

"Oh yeah right!" he said back to him, his voice different than it usually sounds towards me, harsh and like acid stinging my skin.

I never meant for this, any of this to happen. I didn't mean to break his trust. But my emotions for the two of them were driving me crazy!

I went for a walk and wound up finding Sasuke, and somehow… we ended up like this.

I heard, and saw, whatever Naruto was holding his hand, he dropped. I gasped whenever I saw it.

A diamond necklace.

He… He remembered. I would have cried, but I couldn't. I would have ran into his arms, but I couldn't. I couldn't do anything.

And now I feel worse.

"Sakura… I loved you. How could you?" he said to me, his voice barely above a whisper. That broke my heart.

He… doesn't love me anymore?

"Naruto please! Just listen!" I yelled to him. He couldn't mean that… could he?

He never answered me as he turned and ran off.

I had to find out, if he really didn't love me anymore. That was it.

I didn't care about Sasuke anymore as I finally got out of his grasp, and ran out after him, calling his name.

Now I think I know who I really love.

Sasuke's POV

I smirked.

Everything was going according to plan.

Author Notes: Hmm… I don't know why, but I was feeling in an updating kind of mood for "What if?" I bet y'all are happy about that, hmm? Anyway, there ya go. We are back to the present. I think I pulled it off rather nicely actually, everything winding back up to this moment in time. Now, next chapter, you find out a little bit more on Naruto & Sakura's views with their POV's on the situation. I also have a little treat in the next chapter too. But y'all will have to wait to find out. Anyway, this might be the last fast update for a while now, but I think y'all will be fulfilled because of it. Or maybe not, seeing as I left you on a some-what cliffhanger. Anyway, I'm rambling on now. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, now that we're back up to speed & please leave reviews! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
