A Summer Apart Chapter 21: Emotion and Motion, a naruto fanfic

A/N: So the poll ended like 2 weeks or so after I posted it. And the results are:

1st place: SasukeSakura with ten votes

2nd place: NejiTen-Ten with nine votes

3rd place: ShikamaruIno with six votes

4th place: NarutoHinata with three votes

So next chapter will be Neji and Ten-Ten, then Shikmaru and Ino, and last will be Naruto Hinata! Sorry if the one you want didn't get first but it's democracy!

And also when I was bored, trying to do my homework, I sketched the other characters (Meg, Chiyo, Nicole, etc.) in this story since no one really knows how they look like! If you want to see my interpretation of how they look go to my homepage (or profile page… I never know what to call it) and on the bottom you'll see a section that says 'Art I made in my DevinatART account for my stories' and it should have a link to it! It'll say 'A Summer Apart OCs" But keep in mind: they're somewhat small doodles, I still don't draw well, and my scanner sort of messed up some colors.

ALSO: I would like to give a thanks to Hino Aiumiwho put the thought in my head (again) to make Sakura a star to prove herself. I always had that idea in the back of my head but she put it in front of my head and it might be in the story now! And I would also like to give a huge thanks to 43vrLDyfr3EzCK3rSLitleKeKeKimK (very long name by the way...) who suggested SO much that I just had to use some of it in the story! AND big thanks to SasuSaku4eva1994who suggested TWO songs (Hello Beautiful and I Can Wait Forever to be exact) for Sasuke to sing that made it the somewhat support of this whole chapter!

Chapter 21: Emotion and Motion

HearsTheBelles:Midori!

HearsTheBelles:I never see you online anymore!

HearsTheBelles: What have you been doing in New York!?

HearsTheBelles:OMG! Did you get a boyfriend!?

MidoriMix:No Belle… I've just been really busy being an assistant to Konan

MidoriMix: You Konan, the A&R that found you and introduced you White Rush Records?

HearsTheBelles:Puh-lease! Konan probably is making you do nothing expect make you get Starbucks for her! There's nothing going on in New York!

HearsTheBelles: …Unless there's a new singer in the record…

HearsTheBelles:IS THERE!? OMG! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

MidoriMix: No. There's no one knew, or at least of what I know of

HearsTheBelles:OMG!

HearsTheBelles: I know someone who could be on the label!

HearsTheBelles:Sakura Haruno! She's the new friend I was telling you about!

MidoriMix:You mean Sasuke Uchiha's new girlfriend? I didn't know she could sing.

HearsTheBelles: Well anyone can sing! But she sings really well! I heard her singing because she recorded a song in the studio

HearsTheBelles: She would be perfect! And since you "discovered" her, you'll get the credit and get promoted!

MidoriMix:Don't you realize that if we put her on the label, more then half of the population will think that the only reason Sakura Haruno is there is because she's Sasuke Uchiha's girlfriend?

HearsTheBelles: Yeah but at least the less then half population will notice that she has talent!

MidoriMix:In the words of my brother, Aki "That's illogical, I can't have it"

HearsTheBelles: And in the words of me, Belle "Your face is illogical!"

MidoriMix: …That never makes sense Belle…

HearsTheBelles: Like I ever make sense!

HearsTheBelles:Just see if you can! Please! You'll be my best friend!

MidoriMix:I'm already your best friend

HearsTheBelles: Right… you're be my maid of honor in my wedding!

MidoriMix: Yeah… whatever

HearsTheBelles:Does that mean you'll suggest it to Konan!?

MidoriMix:I'll mention it to her. She's been talking about one of her friends from The Akatsuki going to Hollywood

HearsTheBelles: THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

HearsTheBelles:I'm going to tell Sakura!

MidoriMix:Konan might say no

HearsTheBelles signed out

(Tsuande POV)

"Ms. Tsuande! Good morning!" Chiyo greeted me as I saw her eyes widen. I guess Chiyo wasn't used to seeing her boss in front of her doorstep at six A.M. This girl has a lot to learn if she wants to make it in the writing industry. She stepped aside. "Please, come in."

"Thank you Chiyo," I said, as I walked into the loft. "I'm sorry to bother all of you but can you please get Sakura for me, I really just need to talk to her."

"Of course! I'll be right back. You can help yourself to some food, I baked a lot yesterday," Chiyo replied awkwardly as she walked towards Sakura's room. I could tell she was scared of me… or really my rank in the magazine: the founder and boss.

I wanted to laugh at her for being so scared, but that would be rude so I just nodded as I glanced at the kitchen to only glance again with my mouth wide open. The kitchen counter was filled with baking goods! And by baking goods it meant all the desserts that anybody could think of and more that looked like they came out straight from those pastry magazines that always seem to get more sales then mine.

"What the fu--"

"--UNLESS THE SUITE IS ON FIRE THEN STOP TYRING TO DRAG ME OUT OF BED!" A girl's, probably Sakura's, screech of rage interrupted me from mid-curse.

"The suite is not on fire! Ms. Tsuande is here!" I heard Chiyo's voice cry out.

"MS. TSUANDE?"

"I have to look at the interns background information before I let them come here," I mumbled to myself. "Seriously, one can't stop yelling and the other can't stop baking and the other two are just as weird… I should find someone who could make alcoholic drinks for me." A alcoholic drink sounds good right now.

"Hello Ms. Tsuande," Sakura greeted me with a perky smile, running her hands through her messy hair in attempts to tame it. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I have to talked to you," I said professionally as I sat down on a kitchen stool and gestured her to sit down on the stool next to mine. I took a deep breath in and out. Oh… how am I going to tell this to Miss. Manic… damn I knew I should have had some liquor before I came here.

(Sasuke POV)

"The paparazzi should go to hell," I mumbled to myself as I locked the hotel room door… like that would stop the stockers.

"Stop talking to yourself. You don't want the headlines tomorrow say that you smoke something because you talk to yourself," I heard Kakashi say from behind me, in his lazy voice… which isn't much of a difference from his regular voice.

"Talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence," I replied coolly to him, turning around to see him reading his orange x-rated book.

"Then you must be a genius."

"Tell me something I don't know," I said, irritated. I knew I was a genius since I took that stupid genius test so why does he have to presume it?

"While you're here Chic Chick made Miss. Haruno follow someone else for a while," Kakashi stated. …That was something I didn't know.

"What?" I asked, clenching my fist and trying to maintain my cool.

Maybe they have to make her follow a female… maybe Belle. Yes, for once Belle would be good for something.

"Miss. Haruno has to follow someone else while you're in London," Kakashi repeated as he walked towards the bathroom. "I have no idea who it is but I'm pretty sure the person's male. He, or she, will call you in a bit."

Damn it! I took a deep breath in and out. Why a male?! I'm going to sue the magazine for all its worth!

(Third Person POV, still in London)

Sasuke picked up his standard ringing iPhone from his bed and frowned for two reasons: the fact that it was the guy (or girl if he was lucky) that his (yes his) Sakura has to follow and that the phone number was apparently private so he couldn't know who it was before he even heard their voice.

"Hello," Sasuke said into the phone.

"Hello brother," a to familiar masculine voice said from the other line. "I heard that your girlfriend has to follow me."

For once in Sasuke Uchiha's life he was left speechless.

(Sakura's POV)

If there was ever a time to fly back to Japan and hide under my bed covers with only a lifetime supply of chocolate, my iPod, and my cell phone then it would be now.

"W-what?" I stuttered a bit. My heart literally dropped when I heard this and it's still down.

"Since Sasuke Uchiha has to stay in London longer then expected, you will have to follow his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, since he's coming here for his movie premiere," Miss. Tsuande repeated sternly…. I bet she didn't have any drinks today.

She wants me to follow the person who almost killed my Sasuke-kun!?

HELLS TO THE NOES!

How could Miss. Tsuande do this to me? To Sasuke-kun! Doesn't she know what happen to him when they were younger?!

…Wait, she doesn't. Only Itachi, Sasuke-kun, and I know what happened to Sasuke…

"Miss. Haruno!" Miss. Tsuande yelled to me hotly, furiously waving her hand in front of her face. "Are you alright?! Did you need to take some medication today that you didn't take?!"

Miss. Haruno?! Now I know she didn't have any drinks.

MEDICATION?! I don't need any damn medication!

"Yes, I'm alright," I said trying to regain my composure. "And no, I don't take any medication."

"Do you want me to prescribe anything? I did major in medicine for college for a year or two," Miss. Tsuande offered, sounding a bit calmer. I think she's the one who needs medication. I shook my head and her eyebrow raised. "Well then, do you have a problem with Itachi Uchiha?"

"No Miss. Tsuande," I answered, shaking my head a little to much. "I just spaced out for a moment. …It must be the heat."

"Well turn on the air conditioner if you must," Miss. Tsuande suggested, but I could tell that she didn't believe it was the heat. She got up and headed towards the door. "Go to the Uchiha manisonl around six. Itachi Uchiha should be there by then."

"Yes Miss. Tsuande," I nodded, trying to seem collected outside because inside my mind was going chaotically out of control.

"Hey Sakura-chan! Sorry I had to leave like a lot of voice mails!" Belle's voice was heard through my phone. So she's the one who left me fifty voicemails… "But I have the most exciting news! I pulled a few strings and Itachi Uchiha, who I bet will be your future brother-in-law soon, will hear you sing when you talk to him! And then he'll say if you're good or not to Konan, the A&R, those people who find the new talent for music labels." I already knew what an A&R is…"And she might give you a recording contract! Isn't that fabulous! So sing well to him! BYE!"

"To delete this message press--message deleted," the computer voice said through my phone.

ARGH! I just wanted to shun Itachi Uchiha out when I meet him, but now I have to sing to him!

"AAAHH!" I bellowed in my pillow, trying to relieve my frustration. …Good thing no one's here or else they might think I'm crazy.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE CRAZY!

I had to agree with my inner-self. I have to apparently be nice to Itachi Uchiha, who threatened and tried to kill my boyfriend, so he could say that I'm a great singer to Konan (yes, the legendary Konan, whose celebrity status basically made Chic Chick known) and so I could get a recording contract. HOW COULD I DO THAT?! HOW COULD ANY SANE PERSON DO THAT?! That must mean that if I survive this all, I'm either crazy or above saneness.

"SAKURA!"

My slow reflexes made my eyes widen a few seconds later and look at my now wide open door and Meg who just now jumped onto my bed with a magazine and a couple of cupcakes that Chiyo made… her pastries makes me drool until I choke.

"What?" I asked, taking a cupcake from her.

"Is it true?!" Meg asked in desperation.

"…What's true?"

"That your and Sasuke's relationship ended before it even got good!" Meg cried out, showing me one of those magazines that you see while waiting in line at the supermarket with the words she said on the headlines.

"It's not true," I muttered so Meg wouldn't be so confused as I snatched her magazine and looked at the cover in disbelief. "What the hell?"

"Your article is on page ten," Meg informed me as I was searching furiously through the magazine.

"SasuSaku: Relationship On The Rocks?" I read the title of page ten. I skimmed through the two pages of what this stupid magazine gave me. "This is so stupid. My relationship isn't on the rocks. We're doing great, we're doing--WHAT?!"

OH HHEEELLL NNOOO!

"…Uh Sakura, I paid like three bucks for that magazine so can you please now crush it into a ball?" Meg asked uneasily but her voice was just in the background for me.

"THE HELL?!" I bellowed at the magazine hotly.

"Never mind, you can just keep it!" Meg's scared voice reassured me as I heard my door open and close.

...Sometimes I just want to give up.

"Mr. Itachi Uchiha will be with you shortly," the butler, I don't know what butler, informed me as he turned around and walked out of the control room of the recording studio inside the mansion

DON'T WALK AWAY! COME BACK! I NEED A WITNESS IN CASE ITACHI TRIES TO KILL ME!

I wanted SO BADLY to scream that to the butler walking away, but then that would mean I would have to tell him about Sasuke and Itachi's relationship and I promised Sasuke-kun that I wouldn't say anything about it.

I've been thinking for the last probably ten hours and figured out a few things. One: I know tons of songs that, when I sing them, will knock Itachi's socks off. And two: I shouldn't be worried about meeting Itachi. There's a chance that I'm not the most precious thing to Sasuke-kun… but since he doesn't really talk to anyone it's a very slim chance… but on the bright side then that would mean I'm precious to him!

"I'm calm, I'm calm," I muttered to myself, trying so very hard to make me believe what I'm saying.

"Hello Miss. Haruno," An unknown mans' voice said from the door.

"I'm not calm," I said under my now short breaths.

Turning around I saw Sasuke-kun as if he grew his hair longer and put it into a ponytail, had two deep lines on his face, and looked older. But it wasn't Sasuke-kun. It was his older brother who told his own brother that he would harm his most precious thing: Itachi Uchiha.

"Hello Mr. Uchiha."

I bowed down, not really knowing what to do.

DON'T SOUND SO NERVOUS! WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT WE'RE THE OPPOSITE OF NERVOUS! AND DON'T BOW TO HIM! THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE WE'RE HIS SLAVE OR SOMETHING!

"Tsuande-sama and Konan-san told me that I was suppose to see you during my short trip to Hollywood. For two different reasons though," Itachi (I will not submit to call him something formally in my mind!) said to me with an uninterested tone of voice and an uninterested face.

"Yes, Mr. Uchiha," I nodded. I noticed that he used Japanese honorifics on Miss. Tsuande and Konan, but he didn't use it on me so I won't use it on him when I'm speaking. "Miss. Tsuande wants me to somewhat interview you for her magazine." I will not follow him! That's only reserved for Sasuke-kun! I'll make up some crap to Miss. Tsuande later! "And Belle told me that Konan-sama told her that you will listen to me sing and you will tell her your thoughts of my singing."

Itachi didn't come up with a response right away after I said that. He just stared at me with his piercing red eyes, which scared the crap out of me.

"You didn't use a honorific for Miss. Akai," Itachi pointed out after a while.

"Belle is my friend so I don't really find a use for a honorific," I pointed out. I smiled inwardly. That was a fast answer unlike him who took like five minutes to point it out.

"Yet you find a point to call my little brother "Sasuke-kun" even though he is your boyfriend."

"Um…," crap! I couldn't think of a snappy response to that! "It's a habit I guess…"

"Is it a habit to call me "Mr. Uchiha" then? Oppose to Itachi-san or Itachi-sama?" For once Itachi's face was different: one of his eyebrows rose.

"To be technical Mr. Uchiha, you called me "Miss. Haruno" so I guessed that we were going by the American way," I replied smugly. That was true though. I was thinking about calling him "that guy who killed my Sasuke-kun's happniess".

"Well I thought that calling you "Sakura-chan" will sound like I, not my brother, was your boyfriend."

…What…?

My face stoned. My mind stopped working. My brain forgot to tell me to breathe. Was he trying to impose something?

"So, are you going to sing for me? I need a verdict to tell Konan-sama," Itachi told me, like he just said nothing.

"Um…Yes," I said, trying to make my mind work for words as I started to walk into the studio itself since there was a piano in it…well it could be with other instruments or none at all, but I like playing it with a piano! It sounds so cool and I spent half of my summer learning to play it!. "This is a song that I heard from my friend a year ago and since it's my one of my favorite songs, I decided to sing it. I also like the piano in it so I'm playing the piano also."

SHUT UP! WE'RE RAMBLING TO MUCH! AND WHY ARE WE SOUNDING SO SCARED AND SMALL?! WE SHOULD SOUND FIERCE LIKE WE'RE ALL THAT AND WE KNOW IT!

"Okay," Itachi nodded. No sign of any emotion. "What's it called?"

"Love Song by Konan," I answered, sitting on the piano stool. I took a deep breath in and out.

CHA! WE CAN DO THIS!

'Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me, it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
And you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this

Is that why you wanted a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason to
Write you a love song today," I beamed. I got through the songs without any flaws!

"Why did you choose this song?" Itachi asked me indifferently.

I stared at Itachi with a blank stare. "I like the song a lot," I shrugged. I did like it! It's a cool song! Is that a crime or something to like the song? I thought he'd like it since Konan wrote and sang it and Konan is one of his closest friends (or at least that's what the magazines say…)

"Are you sure it's not because of you're relationship with Sasuke?"

I gave him an odd look. "What do you m--MMMMM!"

I couldn't even think as Itachi put his hand over my mouth while his other hand was grabbing my throat and pushed me up against the wall forcefully.

WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WHY IS HE COVERING OUR MOUTHS! OH SHIT! IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?

I wanted to throw up and cry at the same time. Throw up because he was practically strangling and choking me and cry because he has a knife in his hands. I tried to think of all the defense moves I've learn through my years of life… Shit! I didn't know any!

"Ah," I cried under my breath and squeezing my eyes hard with tears streaming out… I hate pain…

(Normal POV)

"Excuse me Miss. Akai, but can you refrain from leaning at Miss. Harunos' hospital bed?" Tsuande asked, peeved, but that could probably be because she had to sign more paperwork.

"I'm waiting for Sakura to open her eyes!" Belle defended herself. "I want to tell her the surprise!"

"Should we wrap the "surprise" in a big red bow?" Meg laughed.

"Hey that wouldn't be a bad idea!" Belle smiled, taking the joke seriously. She jumped off the railings of the bed and ran towards the door. "I'll find the bow and put it on!"

"Do you think she'll actually do it?" Chiyo asked no one in particular.

"Tsuande-sama, should I get Belle-san before she does anything rash?" Shizune, looking as scared as ever, asked her boss.

"Nah, it's not our problem if she gets arrested or something like that," Tsuande shrugged, not taking her eyes off the paper in front of her.

"Who's getting arrested?"

"SAKURA!" the four females in the room exclaimed in unison, averting their eyes to the pink haired patient.

"Don't move!" Tsuande yelled straight after. "If you move, you'll feel pain, everything in your body will get worse, and then I have to pay for it!"

"What happen?" Sakura asked, trying not to move an inch. If her body will get worse then that means it'd feel worse (it it feels really crappy right now).

"Well to make a long story short: one of the Uchihas' workers went to the recording studio and saw what was happening to you, Itachi was arrested, you were sent to the hospital straight away, and that's basically it," Meg informed with a smile although this was really no smiling matter.

"Oh," Sakura said, to shocked to say anything else.

"Miss. Haruno, I am personally sorry for what happen to you and if you want, I will be able to send you back to Japan," Tsuande said. This was a serious matter and, even though she didn't act like it at most times, cared for the people she took into Chic Chick.

"What?"

"You can go back to Japan,"; was the last words Sakura heard before her world went black again.

"The doctors gave her drugs so she's really... drugged and sleepy" Tsuande explained to the two artist.

"But she's sleeping through her surprise!" Belle complained.

"I will not be labeled as surprise," the male musician noted.

"You would be labeled as gift if you put on a red bow," the blond declared.

"I will not put on any kind of bow just to say hello to my girlfriend!"

Belle and Tsuande (who where the only ones there beside the sleeping patient and the onyx eyed guy) where both taken aback at the sudden outburst of the raven haired male and even more startled when said male climbed onto the hospital bed and cradled his pink haired girlfriend.

"Huz?" the drugged patient squeaked, opening her eyes to see someone who could only be here in her dreams. "Sasuke-kun?"

"Hello beatiful," Sasuke smiled, something rare and something that only Sakura will only see. He pressed his lips aganist her big forehead. "How's it going?"

"Fine now that you're here," Sakura answered meekly.

"I hear it's wonderful in California," Sasuke sang.

"Oh, is this the new song you're talking about?" Sakura asked, surprised. Sasuke nodded and continued to sing.

"I've been missing you. It's true...,"

"I've been missing you too," Sakura smiled. Sasuke put his finger over Sakura lips to indicate that she shouldn't talk.

"But tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna fly

'Cause I could comb across the world,
And see everything
And never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes

Hello beautiful
It's been a long time
Since my phone's rung
And you been on that line
I've been missing you
It's true

But tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna fly
Oh yeah

'Cause I could comb across the world,
see everything
And never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes," Sasuke ended the a Capella version of his new song.

"Sasuke that was... spectacular," Sakura complimented in amazement.

"It was written for a spectacular girl," Sasuke pointed out, pressing his lips against the girls'.

"I think Sakura got to much morphine," Tsuande stated.

"I think the doctors know how much drugs a person should take, Miss. Tsuande," Shizune replied.

"Well she is practically making out with a pillow, she is on something," Meg obversed with a laugh.

'Sakura," Chiyo called, shaking her drug intake friend. "Are you okay? ...You're kissing a pillow."

"What?" Sakura questioned, her voiced muffled. She lifted her face from the pillow and frowned in disappointment. "So it was a dream..."

"What was a dream?"

"It looked more like a fantasy," Meg snickered.

"I thought Sasuke was here," Sakura replied with a pitiful expression.

"He's here in cell phone phone!" Belle bursted out, placing something (most likely a cell phone) with a huge red bow into Sakura's tubed hand.

Sakura stared at it quizzically before she put it towards her ear. "Hello?"

"Hello beautiful," Sasuke's voice came from the phone.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura exclaimed with a smile, the first time she smiled all day. "I had a dream about you and you were here, singing that new song of yours to me while we were on the hospital bed!"

"Hn...," the onyx eyed musician replied, but Sakura could decode it as 'That's weird because...' "...I actually do have a song for you to hear. I wrote it a few nights ago when I couldn't sleep and I wanted you to hear it before I preform it in the concert tomorrow."

"Okay then, let me hear it," Sakura urged her boyfriend. "What's the name of the song?"

"I Can Wait Forever," Sasuke replied as Sakura heard shuffling and items being moved around in the background. "I'm going to play it acoustic and please save your comments after I'm done."

"Okay," Sakura replied, nodding even though he couldn't see her.

"You look so beautiful today,"Sasuke began to sang. Sakura wanted to point out, jokingly, that he didn't know how she looked, but remembered not to interputt.
"When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
So I try to find the words that I could say
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
And I can't lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just can't take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever

You look so beautiful today
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes, man I wish that I could stay
And I can't lie
But every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just can't take it

I know it feels like forever
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
But when I come back home to feel your touch
Makes it better
Till that day
Theres nothing else that I can do
And I just can't take it
I just can't take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever (I can wait forever)
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
But I can wait (I can wait)
I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever..." Sasuke ended in an emotional tone

"Sasuke-kun...," the jade eyed teen started to see as she felt her eyes get watery. "I-I can't wait forever."

"...What?"

"What?!" Belle, Meg, and Tsuande exclaimed in unison, obviously listening to the song and conversation.

Even though Sakura knew Sasuke was overseas, she knew that Belle and Tsuande's aren't the only confused eyes staring at her.

"I want to go back to Japan after I get better and get out of the hospital. I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore," Sakura answered calmly, despite the fact that hot tears were streaming from her eyes.

"...Why are you in the hosptial?" Sasuke asked. It took him only a second to answer his own question. "Itachi did it, huh?"

"Yes, but it's not really his fault," Sakura tried to explain. She smiled in attempt to stop the tears, but it obviously didn't work. "I've been doing a lot of thinking while in the hospital--"

"--You're drugged! Don't think about serious stuff when you're drugged!" Belle, who desperatly wanted the two together, interrupted Sakura.

"--and I just don't think it's working, or at least right now," Sakura continued saying.

"Why not now?" Meg yelled out.

"I love you," Sakura choked out.

"Take all the time you need," Sasuke's replied, indifferently before hanging up his cell phone.

A/N: Okay, finally done with this chapter! I began writing this when the poll ended, yet it took me five months to finish it... I blame school. I also blame the fact that this was badly written mostly because I had no idea what to write. And because of that I really don't like the way I written this chapter and the last chapter. I might rewrite this and the last chapter, but, again, it's a huge might and if I do then it will still have the basic plot behind it, but it'll be written better.

Okay, so before you review something like "WTF?! What the hell are you doing you?! Are you by any chance stupid?!" (and I wouldn't personally blame you) Sakura actually has a reason behind this! And it will be written gradually in along with the other girls' chapters because SasuSaku is the main couple. And regarding Sakura actually becoming a signer... that's a huge MAYBE!

Also, this story has been going on for almost two years (does the two year anniversary dance) and since the summer (for the story at least) is ending soon, I'll be ending the story soon. And before you ask (although I don't really know why you would want to ask) if there's going to be a sequel... well during spring I was all up for one (I've been thinking about ending it soon for a while), but now I think definitely no. I'm sorry, but I can't handle an other one. I will definitely have a long epilogue but then that's it. So there will most likely be (counting the epilogue) four or five chapters left! Hopefully, I'll get it all done by the end of the summer. Wow, I never really expected to end this story when I'm almost a senior!

So with all of that being said, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, review, but no flames, and Breaking Dawn is coming out on August 2! I can't wait! ...Sorry that's irrevlant, but still review, but no flames!
