Two Lives, Chapter 9

Hey guys!! I can't believe it's been THIS LONG since I've updated this. I just got my own laptop and everything so now I can type up my stories whenever!! My Mom and Dad won't be hogging the computer anymore. So I hope you guys can forgive me. Here is Chapter 9 :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto :P

Yuki was at the bar today, signing her C.D for fans who had bought the C.D. So far, there had been 440 C.D's sold since 12am...It was only 7am.

Sasuke came in and asked her manager Daisuke to speak to Yuki. By the sound in Sasuke's voice, Daisuke knew better than to ask him what about, so he just nodded and went to retrieve her.

Sasuke took the nearest seat. A waiter came by, asking him if he would like his usual....a beer, but Sasuke declined and watched Yuki with her fans. He noticed that Daisuke before actually talking to her. He knew it was because she was busy

After about 10 minutes, Yuki got a break from her signings and Daisuke leaned over, whispering that someone was here to see her. She looked to where Daisuke had pointed and saw Sasuke standing there. Sasuke didn't see a change in her face, but she walked over anyways. By the time she had reached him....her expression changed to a somewhat nervous one.

'Why is she nervous?' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Can I talk to you?" Sasuke asked.

"Uhm, sure," she said and sat down across from him. "What do you want to talk about?"

"How much did Naruto tell you about Sakura and me?" Sakura looked uneasy and he didn't know why. He was starting to like her.

"Naruto told me everything," Yuki admitted after a minute of thinking. Sasuke sighed. He was going to kill Naruto one of these days.

"I did love her. I still do. It's just that I didn't want her to get hurt by Orochimaru."

"I think if you had told her that, she would have wanted to come along. Anything to be by your side." Sakura said. Sasuke noticed she spoke with passion, almost as if she had the same thing happen to her. This didn't stop him from defending himself.

"If she had come with me, she would have been killed!"

"As long as you were by her side, she'd have been fine." Yuki said. She looked away from the table, feeling slightly awkward.

Sasuke leaned back in his seat in an attempt to cool down. The thought of anything happening to Sakura freaked him out.

"What do you think I should have done? I love her but-"

"I can't do this Sasuke. I can't sit here and listen to all your problems. I have a job I need to get back too. If you love her, go find her. Go and tell her you love her yourself. Don't tell me. Stay by her..."

"I don't know where she is," Sasuke replied. Yuki stopped talking and turned around, with the frills of her silver shirt following.

"She's closer than you think. Just find her, she's probably in Konaha." Yuki walked back to her table to sit down, as the huge line of people cried out her name, excited she was back to sign their C.D's for them.

Sasuke got up to leave, thinking about what Yuki had just told him. 'She's closer than you think'

What did she mean by that?

Sasuke looked at her once more before leaving and he noticed a trail of tears trickling down her face as she signed the C.D's. And with that, he left.

When Sasuke got home that evening, he laid down on his bed, thinking of what Yukie had told him. A lot of Yuki reminded him of Sakura. The personality, the way she talks, the uneasyness. He tried to think of ways to talk to Sakura, if he could ever find her.

What would he say to her....what would she say to him? Did they have a chance to be back together? Would she forgive him for leaving her?? All these questions ran through his mind.

The advice Yuki had given him was to 'go get her'. Countless times, she had told him that he should have told Sakura about his leaving. It's like Yuki knew EXACTLY how Sakura would act.

Yuki's songs also reminded him a lot about Sakura. "When you look me in the eyes" was written as though Yuki had been there when Sasuke told Sakura he loved her in the Auditorium that one night. The second song, "Our Song" described their dates. And why was Yuki\ looking at him during part of it?

Sasuke and Sakura always snuck out late to be with eachother. The beginning of the song was totally Deja Vu. Something about that song made him think about one date inparticular. It was during the night, when they had snuck out again, and they had decided to talk a walk down the lake. Sakura's face had shown signs of being upset so Sasuke had asked her "Baby is something wrong?" and Sakura's reply was "Nothing, I was just thinking".

Also, Naruto was Yuki's best friend, as far as Sasuke knew. Naruto hadn't come to Sound since that last visit, and Yuki never left Sound. How was it possible that they were so close?

It didn't make sense!!

The one thing that confirmed his suspicions of Yuki possibly being Sakura was when Sasuke and Naruto were fighting, and Yuki came in-between them to stop the whole thing. Naruto had said "But Sak-Yuki!!!"

'Sak' was his last clue to the puzzle. 'Sak'=Sakura in his book. Made sense, but it didn't mean it was true. Could be coincidence.

Sasuke shot up from his laying position and vowed "Sakura, I will get you back!"
