Two Lives chapter 7

Sasuke was now seated at the same booth has was in before. Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, he sat in front of the stage about four booths back. The announcer came on the speaker.

"Everyone, you guys remember her from Tuesday. She had a new song you guys all loved, judging on your shouts and cheers. Today, she sings and plays guitar to another new song. Here she is, the beautiful, the amazing…..Yuki!!"

The cheering began and Yuki emerged from the curtains, wearing a sparkling green shirt with no sleeves. The shirt was short enough you could see the rim of her hip jeans, and her flat stomach. She had a guitar hooked around her back. Can you say H.O.T!

"Hello everyone! How is everyone tonight!?"

All the people in the room screamed.

"Well, I have a special guest here today. He's been my best friends for years. Give it up for….Naruto Uzumaki!" She said, and pointed towards the seat in front of the stage.

Sasuke froze, noticing the name of his 'best friend'. He hadn't seen him since the day before he left Konaha.

Naruto stood up from his seat and walked on stage with Yuki. She held out her hand and Naruto took it, hugging her.

When they broke the hug, Yuki said "He's not my boyfriend guys, so don't freak and make us call 911" She laughed. "I've had too many of them anyways" This time the crowd laughed with her.

"Well, this fellow helped me write the song I'm gonna sing. It happens to be about an old boyfriend"

Sasuke knew this girl would have had many boyfriends. I mean, look at her! What he was most concerned with was with how did Yuki know Naruto for years? When Yuki pulled her guitar in front of her, Sasuke stopped thinking and listened to the song.

The piano started to play

(Our Song, by Taylor Swift)

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart

I look around, turn the radio down
He says, Baby is something wrong?
I say, Nothing I was just thinking
How we don't have a song and he says

Yuki looked out into the audience and saw Sasuke waltching her. She directed the next set of lyrics to him. She looked side to side once in a while as to not drawn attention from the crowd. But she made it obvious enough to Sasuke that she was talking to him.

Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

Our song is the way you laugh
The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again

Sasuke saw that Yuki was staring at him during the last part of that song. He didn't know why, maybe coincidence? That part reminded him of Sakura and how they both would sneak out late going places. Their favorite place was by the lake and he'd ask "Baby is something wrong" and she'd answer "Nothing, I was just thinking" Sasuke couldn't believe how much the song related to him.

I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away

Got to the hallway, well, on my way
To my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said

Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

Yuki lifted her eyes back to the Uchiha, never breaking contact. Sasuke noticed this.


Our song is the way you laugh
The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again

She broke contact and got into the song playing her guitar, while someone came onstage playing the violin.

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song

'Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow

Yukie jumped up twice playing, emphasizing the stop of the music.


'Cause it's late and his mama don't know

Our song is the way he laughs
The first date man, I didn't kiss him and I should have
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again
Play it again, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

The song came to a final cord, and the crowd went wild. Naruto stood up and walked up to the crying Sakura. She wasn't crying because she was happy. It was because she was remembering all the memories only Naruto knew at the moment. Sasuke also noticed she was crying but didn't feel anything by it.

Naruto looked over the crowd until his cerulean eyes met with onyx. His eyes widened.

"Sasuke!!" Naruto yelled.

'Shit!' Sasuke thought, and started to get up and run to the door though Naruto was quicker. Sasuke got to the door and was stopped and thrown backwards by a punch to the face, which Naruto delivered. Sasuke landed flat on a table, which broke from the impact. Glass's were broken on the floor and gasps could be heard from every person in the crowd except Yuki.

"You traitor!! How could you!"

Sasuke got up and wiped blood from his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt. "How could I what?" he mumbled. By now the entire bar was staring at them, hovering over him asking if he was okay. Even Yuki was dumbstruck. She knew something would occur, but not something this drastic.

"How could you leave without telling anyone? Leaving without any notice at all!?"

"I didn't want you guys to know…..to get hurt."

"Yeah, well you did a terrible job of that!" Naruto said sarcastically. "Especially to your girlfriend. Do you even remember her…..Sasuke?"

Yuki, aka Sakura, walked up to the two of them to try and solve this problem. She concealed her chakra and thought of a different tone of voice to use. She walked in-between them and faced Naruto.

"Naruto, stop it," she said in a higher pitched voice. "You can talk about your problems concerning Sakura and Sasuke another time in a different location."

"But Sak-Yuki!" Naruto quickly made the change, whining. Sasuke noticed the uneasiness between them and the glare Yuki gave Naruto after his mistake.

"No buts"

"He probably doesn't even remember her! Everything he said to her was a lie and meant nothing! He didn't even tell her he left. What kinda person does that?"

Yuki was about to protest, when Naruto was shoved into a table behind him, with a fuming Sasuke next to Yuki. She looked up at him and felt like she was in highschool again with a little crush. He stomach had butterflies.

Some of the people in the room started to get worried for the both of them. At least three people scattered when Naruto was pushed towards them and the let out a shriek.

"Of course I remember her! She meant everything to me and nothing I told her was a lie. She's better off not knowing where I am and if you tell her I'll break your jaw!"

Yuki stood there still staring at him, with a newfound feeling in her system. Admiration. She even smiled a little.

"Well Sasuke, if you want my opinion-,"Yukie started.

"I don't want your opinion…..!" Sasuke interrupted.

She waited a few seconds for him to calm down. Naruto got up and stood up glaring at Sasuke.

"If you want my opinion, I think you should have said something to hear. I can't imagine how bad she felt once you left her…..all alone.

Sasuke thought about this. 'How much did Naruto actually tell her?'
