So much for walking away Chapter 3, a naruto fanfic

I looked at Sasuke and as I was about to lean in my cell phone went off, playing Miss. Independent by Ne-Yo. I sighed in relief and looked at the caller ID, not knowing the number; I got up and went to my room. I pushed the talk button and said hello.

"It's Karin." I growled and squeezed the phone to refrain from throwing it. "Look, I just wanted you to know something. Sasuke knew you were on the phone listening. He just wants to play you. I just thought you should know. He has it in his mind that he can win you back, it's all a bet he made with Neji and Naruto." I looked to the ground, and then smirked.

"Let's pretend I believe you. Why are you telling me this? Why would you even care if I got hurt?" There was silence for a few minutes and I put my back to the wall, sliding down onto my butt. I didn't want to believe her, but part of me knew that she was telling the true.

"I know what it's like to get hurt by him." With that said, she hung up and I was left in the silence. I leaned my head back on the wall and listened to the hum of the engine for the next ten minutes. A knock at my door made me come out of my daze.

"Yeah?" I asked, watching as Naruto came in through the door. He was pulling off black skater jeans and an orange muscle shirt. He had on a hat with 'Sharingan' printed on it. He looked down at me, his blue eyes masked in confusion.

"What's wrong Saki-Chan?" I looked up at him and cursed. I would not cry. I am not a weak heartbroken girl; no I am cool confident Sakura. I am role model to thousands, and the best singer of this generation. I will not fall victim to love again.

"Is it true?" I asked, standing up slowly. He cocked his head and I got pissed. "Is it true that Sasuke Uchiha made a bet with you and Neji that he could get me back?" Naruto took a step back and looked at the ground. I shook my head. "I knew it." I whispered. I looked at Naruto, "Can you please just… go?" I asked. He nodded and shut the door behind him. Without a second to lose, I started writing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~!~~

I pulled up my blue jeans, the ones that were word down and had holes in the knees. My black cowboy boots came next; then I put on a black v-neck that had gold lettering that spelled cowgirl. My pink hair came down in curls from my black cowboy hat. When I finished, I smiled. Everything was going to go according to plan. I had written the song last night and I had borrowed Neji, Suigetsu and Tenten for music and Ino to help out with the way I planned it.

I walked out on to the stage and was greeted by thousands of fans screaming my name. The music started playing and a smirk crossed my features.

"HOW ARE YA DOING TONITE NASHVILLE?" I was answered by another round of screaming. I walked up to the microphone and took it in my hand then walked over to Neji who was playing guitar. I nodded my head then walked center stage.(Cowboy Casanova: Carrie Underwood)

You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he's holding you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch

I got the whole crowd listening and dancing along, and when I hit the chorus Ino went into to the crowd. She was doing exactly as I asked.

He's a good time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life

Ino brought two girls up on stage. They were dressed in dark blue shirts with Sasuke's face on them and wearing headbands with his name on them. They had in red contacts, similar to Sasuke's and even their hair was raven black with spikes in the back. Perfect choice, Ino. As I sang the next verse, I knocked off their headbands and pointed to their shirts, shaking my head.

I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again
'Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
You can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won't be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice

Sasuke came out from the stage and was walking towards me. I walked the other way and still sang. He looked up at me and then turned around angrily and went off stage.

Run run away
Don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
He'll break your heart
It's just a matter of time
But just remember

Oh you better run for your life.

The crowd roared and I rushed and without thinking, grabbed Neji's and Ino's hand and ran, jumping off the stage into the crowd. They caught us and moved us towards the middle, setting us own. The rest of our band came out and Sasuke jumped into some techno hard song. I got into the beat and danced the rest of the concert away, going up on stage twice more to sing.

When the concert was finished and the last of the fans were gone, I started to help the others pack up the instruments. Sasuke came next to me to help dismantle a drum set. He was tense and when he finished, he grabbed my arm and pulled me a few feet away. I rolled my eyes.

"What?" I asked through clenched teeth. He scoffed.

"What do you mean 'what.' That song was about me." I scoffed this time.

"Your point…?" He stared at me, clearly pissed, "I always sing the truth." I said putting my hand up as if I were doing an oath. He turned around and continued to dismantle the second drum set. I went to the microphone, noting it was on. For fun, I started to sing Rollin' in the Deep.

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark

What I did not expect was somebody, somebody I haven't seen in a while, to start singing from that point. Oh, but he did, standing out like a light in the darkness of night.

Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the dark.

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

I looked at him, his deep red hair and pale skin easily distinguishing him. I could feel the others staring at him, also surprised. Ino put her hands on her hips, anger flooding her aura. He took a big risk coming here. But no anger stirred inside of me, even though it should have.

"G-Gaara…" I said, my whisper floating through the speakers. With each line, he took a step closer to the stage, his eyes looking up at me. On impulse, I sang with him.

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

The next verse, I sang solo. And as I sang it, I jumped off the stage, landing in front of him.

Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared.

As I walked around him, in a circle, he sang the first couple of lines alone before I joined in.

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat.

When we finished singing, I was fighting to keep my breath. So many questions ran through my mind but the most common was, "Why are you here?" I asked, looking to the ground.

"I wanted to come back… to you Sakura." I shook my head and took a step back, biting my lip to refrain from crying.

"You made it very clear the day you left that you would never want to come back." I spoke harshly. "You left swearing you would never come back to me."

"I'm sorry. I hurt you Sakura," He reached for my arm and I flinched, "I will never do that again. Please, just one more chance." I looked at him and then to the ground. Then it happened, I cried. For the first time in a long time I cried. I looked up at him and then pushed him away from me. I looked at the ground and noticed that it was raining. It poured down on us and in just seemed so unreal.

"I LOVED YOU!" I didn't mean to scream, but it came out like that. "AND WHAT DID YOU DO? ONE DAY YOU DECIDE TO PACK YOUR STUFF, YELL AT ME, AND THEN LEAVE!"

"You still loved him! Or am I wrong?" I looked at him and then tried hitting him. He didn't stop me, but he blocked each weak hit. Finally giving up, I sat on the ground, in the mud, crying. He knelled by me and hugged me and I let him. Then I stood up and started to walk away, climbing back up the stage. Kakashi was looking up from his porno looking me in the eyes.

"It's funny…" I said quietly, "that it took two years to get over you, but Sasuke only took a few months." Nobody said anything and I sighed, "Kakashi, we have an extra guitarist again." I turned to look at Gaara. "Don't fuck it up again." With that said, I left to the bus.

I woke up the next day with serious morning breath. When I walked to the bathroom, I bumped into Gaara. He smirked, knowing exactly what I needed. He moved t the side and I brushed my teeth. He looked at me, and I smiled in the mirror at him. "What?" I asked, watching as he grabbed a towel to dry his hair. He had probably just gotten out of the shower. He was wearing a pair of dark denim jeans that hugged him perfectly. He had no shirt on, showing his chest. He wasn't built big, but god he was built.

"Nothing," I said, swishing around the minty mouthwash.

"Something," he said, hugging me from behind, setting his head on my shoulder. So many emotions filled me, but I didn't move away.

"Why are you here?" I asked, turning to look at him.

"It's better to love anyone other than someone and—"

It's better to love you than anyone." I finished for him. We used to say that to each other, when were dating. He smiled, which was very rare, then leaned down to kiss me. I turned my head so he kissed my cheeks and not my lips. He put his hands up.

"I get it Saki, you don't trust me. I just hope that will change." I smiled and looked at him.

"It will," I said, grabbing his hand and leading him to the couch where the others were. He sat in the recliner and I sat in his lap and turned my attention to the TV.

Helllooooo and welcome to E! Where we give you the updates on all the stars and celebs! So anyway, last night the two bands Sharingan and Anbu preformed. Sakura hit it off with a new song, Cowboy Casanova; now Mrs. K, what did you think of this new song?

Well Riana, this song was obviously for Sasuke Uchiha. I'm guessing there's no Sasusaku coming, but an old couple may emerge, GaaraSaku! That's right, he was spotted at the concert in Nashville and also with Sakura afterwards. And while we are on the topic of couples, I think NaruHina may form.

Awww, they are just so cute together!

I looked at Naruto and Hinata who were sitting awfully close together. They were blushing and I couldn't help but laugh. And for the moment, everything was okay.
