Sitting at a round booth table the Rookie 9, Team Guy, all the senseis and Sai were laughing and having a good time sharing memories. Except for one. Sakura Haruno, that is. She disliked the fact that he was back. So she just stared at her drink.
Sakura was now nineteen, and her birthday was in a few days. She, at the moment, could care less about anything and everything. Her drink seemed more or less interesting.
"Alright, who's next to sing?" the announcer asked. Today was Friday night and people got to sing on stage, if they wanted to.
Ino rushed out pulling the cherry blossom with her. "She wants to!!" Ino shouted pushing Sakura toward the stage.
"No. I don't want to sing."
"Yes, You do. Now go."
"Fine!" Sakura gave up because she was to tired to fight with Ino tonight. They had become best friends after he left, and both gave up, moved on, and forgot him.
Sakura walked up to the stage. She stood in the center and looked at the half crowed bar. She sighs..
"Three songs, right?"
"Yes, What first?" asked the DJ.
"Um.. Because Of You," she whispers only for the DJ to hear. She took a deep breath as the song began.
I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I can not cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now i cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Sakura took a deep breath, slowing her breathing down. Everyone in the bar clapped for her because she did sound like the singer.
"Two more to go.." she whispers to herself.
"What next, darling?" asked the DJ.
"Since You Been Gone"
"Kay."
Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
Dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till i called you mine
Yeah, yeah since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how i picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now i get what i want
Since you been gone
How can i put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah, since you been gone
How come i'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now i get what i want
Since you been gone
You had your chance you, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth i just cant take it
Again, and again, and again, and again!!!!!
Since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now i get what i want
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
After the song was over the kunoichi closed her eyes and slowed down her breathing. Sakura knew she had a great voice, she just did not want to sing with him back. Regardless. She wasn't the happiest person to have him back, she was only happy because her friends her happy. Sakura was always happy for them.
"Last song will be 'How I Feel' "
"Kay."
Looks like i made a mess again
Heartbreak everywhere i step
This fire is getting hot again
But i touch the flame 'cause I'm a curious cat
Creeping where i don't belong
Finding out what i knew all along
Crying all alone
And it's all my fault, all my fault
Yeah, i did it again..again
Oh, I'm getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it's not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, I think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how i feel right now so just let me be
Let me bet
It seems every time i find a good man
He's got a good little wife
I'm not jealous but i won't lie
I don't want to hear about your wonderful life
And babies everywhere i look
Trophy wives with their little black books
At this rate i'm gonna end up alone
It's probably all my fault, all my fault
Oh, another dead end...again
Oh, I'm getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it's not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, i think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how i feel right now
Bitter pill that i've swallowed
Just how low can my heart sink
Fairy tales from so long ago
Save them for someone that's not smart enough to know
'Cause I, I'm getting tired of believing
I'm through pretending
Yeah, I'm broken and sad so i'll sit this one out
Oh i think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how i feel right now
How i feel
After all her songs the crowded bar applauded. She sighed, handed the mic back to DJ, and walked straight out of the bar. Sakura walked to her favorite bench underneath a tree on the Hokage mountain, looking over the town.
The stars were bright and clear, and the crescent moon beamed down on her. Little to her knowledge, at the moment, someone followed her out of the bar and to the Hokage mountain. She was too tired to stretch her chakra out to the unknown follower.
How was that?? Too long? Anyways please read and review!!! Thanks!
