When Ino and Sakura entered the living room, Sakura felt a cold chill as everyone in the room glared at her. She leaned over to Ino and whispered in her ear, "What did I do?"

Ino shrugged her shoulders and went to sit by the same boy as yesterday. Sakura remained standing.

"Sakura," Sasuke said, "I'm sorry, but you won't be able to leave the property for a couple weeks."

Sakura looked alarmed, "Why?"

"The cops are searching for you," Neji growled, "and if they find you, they find us,"

Sakura glared at them all, "Fine, fine, I won't leave the house," she grunted, turning on her heel and stalking out of the living room.

Sakura sat at the piano, her fingers hitting the keys harder than usual.

"I have fallen to my knees,
as I sing a lullaby of pain.
I'm feeling broken in my melody,
as I sing to help the tears go away.
Then I remember the pledge you made to me.

Her voice choked for a second but she continued singing.

"I know you're always there,
to hear my every prayer inside,
I'm clinging to the promise of a lifetime.

She hit a key so hard it seemed to scream.

"I hear the words you say,
to never walk away from me and leave behind
the promise of a lifetime.

"Looking back at me,
I know that you can see my heart is open to
the promise of a lifetime,

Her voice choked again.

"Will you help me fall apart?
Pick me up, take me in your arms?
Find my way back from the storm,
and you show me how to grow
through the change.
I still remember the pledge you made to--
Damn it.

Her voice had shattered, but she continued to play the piano.

"--to hear my every prayer inside,
I'm clinging to the promise of a lifetime.
I hear the words you say,
to never walk away from me and leave behind
the promise of a lifetime.

"Looking back at me,
I know that you can see my heart is open to
the promise of a lifetime,

"I am holding on to the hope I have inside
With you I will stay through every day
Putting my understanding aside,
I am comforted.

Her breath quivered and continued to sing and play the song.

"To know you're always there,

to hear my every prayer inside,

I'm clinging to,

a promise of a lifetime,

I hear the words you say,

to never walk away from me and leave behind,

the promise of a lifetime.

I know you're always there,

to hear my every pray inside,

I'm clinging to a promise of a lifetime,

I hear the words you say,

to never walk away from me and leave behind,

a promise of a lifetime..."

She sighed and leaned back, holding onto the bench.

"Why such a sad song?" a voice asked and she looked around to see Sasuke staring at her from the door way.

"I'm don't know," she sighed, stroking the white keys.

Neither of them talked for a while until Sakura whispered, "I'm sorry for endangering you and your friends,"

Sasuke looked at her, startled, "It doesn't matter, when Tenten joined us she was even more troublesome 'cause she wouldn't stay in the house,"

Sakura grinned, but looking downcast at the same. She slowly decided what she wanted to do.

Sorry, this one feels real short. It did to me, anyway. This is the turning point, by the way, although that's all I'll say.
