Sakura

The bar-b-que went… surprisingly well, which, to say the truth, I did not expect, at all. When we had arrived, my mother, father, my brother and his fiancée were already there. My dad was grilling a few hamburgers while my mother chopped some vegetables for the salad. Kiba and his girl were in the pool, playing volleyball. When we all showed up, my father looked up and smiled, hugging me tightly. Then he shook everyone's hands and introduced my mother. She hugged everyone with a bright smile.

Naruto, who had dissed my father a month ago, shook his hand and smiled forgivingly. "Sorry about the dispute, sir. Sakura's my sister; I had to stick up for her."

"No, I must apologize." My father said, setting a hand on his shoulder, "you keep an eye on her, she's a tricky one." Naruto smirked and I whined, declaring I could take care of myself.

When my father went to shake Sasuke's hand, I admit- I held my breath. My father didn't smile, but rather analyzed Sasuke closely.

"So you're the one who broke my daughters' heart?" I saw Sasuke actually figure out what to say to that. Huh, who would've know? Sasuke with nothing to say. "And then put it back together." My father finished, taking his hand and giving it a firm shake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Haruno. And I know I can't take back my mistakes, but I do love Sakura. She is very important to me." My father seemed to digest this and then nodded in approval.

"We both have made mistakes."

Hinata

The rain came down in hard, loud drops. I watched outside as the clouds cried, drenching the world below it. A feeling of uneasiness churned in my chest and I rubbed my temples lightly. Something was going to happen tonight. I could feel it.

"Hey," I looked up to see Naruto putting some gel in his hair, dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans and an orange v-neck. "Are you going to start getting ready for the concert or what?" He walked over to me, taking my hands and helping me up into a standing position. The concert? I had totally forgotten about the benefit concert we were doing today at the high school outside on the concourse!

"Ugh," I let out a sound that sounded like a groan, "I forgot." I buried my head into his shoulder and let out a sigh. He always smelled so good.

He wrapped my hands around me and pulled me closer. "What's wrong?" He asked, a hand running through my hair. I pulled back and looked into his deep blue eyes and smiled.

"Nothing, I'm just nervous I guess." I turned around and looked into my closet, pulling out a black tank with a purple crop jacket and white ripped skinny jeans. After I got dressed, I turned back to see Naruto texting someone. When he finished, he looked up and complimented my appearance before we headed downstairs to where the others were, and, after debating what cars we would take, we left.

"Hinata," I looked across the black leather seat to Sakura, who was driving her silver Mercedes. She looked pretty, dressed in black leather skinny jeans and a flowy pink shirt with a biker jacket. She had actually taken the time to curl her hair today, despite the fact that we would be singing in the rain.

"Hmm?" I answered, playing with edges of my I-Phone case and looking out of the water splattered window.

"I have a bad feeling about today…" She said reluctantly, and I turned around to face her. She bit her lip, deep in thought as she pulled up to a red stoplight. "I think your father may make an appearance today. And I think he'll go after you since you're more vulnerable." She shook her head and sighed.

"I know." I said, earning a shocked look from her. "He has given me the chance to return and I have ignored his orders. If he does come and use force then I will have no choice but to leave with him."

"Bullshit!"

"Sakura!" I raised my voice and she shook her head. "You have to stay out of it. My father could destroy you. He could destroy all of this: Anbu, Sharingan! All of it!"

A long silence dragged and she pulled into the parking spot next to Sasuke's red Mustang convertible, where the others stood waiting in the rain, their hoodies pulled up. I looked at Naruto, his blue eyes looking at mine, his blonde hair dripping water onto his face. Why did he have to be so perfect? He smiled that same smile that always made me stomach float, but now it felt like a knife. He walked over and opened my door, holding out his hand for me to take.

"Hey gorgeous, you ready?" I smiled weakly and nodded as we walked up the sidewalk to the crowd of people who were yelling our names and shaking our hands.

"Naruto?" I said, looking into his gaze.

"What's up Hina-chan?" His nickname made heat rise to my face, but I shook it away.

"I need to talk to you." He looked at me for a second before nodding and led me across the campus to a secluded spot. I turned to face him and I couldn't help the water that came from my eyes.

"What's wronjg Hinata? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry." I shook my head. I had to do this. I had to.

"No, that's just it. You do everything so right. It's not you."

Realization dawned on Naruto's face and he shook his head, "No, Hinata don't do this not now, ple—"

"We can't do this anymore Naruto. My father will take you down. We just can't be together. It's impossible."

"Hinata everything is possible if we just fight for it!" My tears became stronger, masked by the heavy downpour of rain. His arms wrapped around my body.

"Stop making it harder then it already is!" I yelled pushing him away. "We can't Naruto! We just can't! I have no choice okay?!" I took off into the crowd, leaving him alone and hurt. The look on his face… what I just did to him. I'll never be able to get over it. It was now official… I hate myself more than anything, but it was better for me to get hurt than having everyone suffer because of my own selfishness.

Naruto

They came. Her father and 6 guards, all dressed in black. I watched as the scouted for her, searching through the crowd of students, and when they saw her, they didn't hesitate. I found myself trying to push though the crowd too, trying to reach Hinata before they did, but I couldn't. "Sakura!" I screamed to the top of my lungs. "Hinata!" They looked over at me and I pointed at the seven people who were almost near them. Sakura immediately put her arm in front of Hinata and all I could do was watch as words were exchanged and Hinata walked to her father. Sakura tried to follow, but Sasuke held her back, causing her to yell and kick at him. That's when it hit me, she was leaving. Her father was taking her away. No, this can't happen.

I quickly looked around, spotting a college kid who had a guitar strapped to his back, a nice wooden acoustic. I ran to him and he turned and smiled. "Hey, nice guitar, can I see it?" I asked quickly.

"Yeah! Your Naruto Uzi-" I grabbed the guitar before I could hear the reast of his sentence and jumped up onto the small stage. "Hinata," I said, my words echoing through the microphone. I strummed lightly on the guitar to make sure it was tuned before I started singing. (Here Comes Goodbye: Rascal Flatts)

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like her to drive that slow, nothin's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell

[Chorus]
Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride

Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and youre left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oooo

Sakura

"Sasuke let me go!" I yelled again, watching Hinata's back as she kept walking.

"Sakura!" Sasuke's voice was enough to make me collapse to my knees in tears.

"Sasuke please, she's my sister! I can't just let her—"

"I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road.." I looked up at Naruto who was on the stage, his voice echoing through the speakers. The rain fell, drenching him and the song… it was so sad. I just cried some more. Why is everything so fucked up? I looked and saw Hinata looking up at him as the few guards wrestled her into the car, I could hear her calling out his name. Her father stood a few meters away, standing alone looking up at the blonde man who was pouring his heart out on stage.

"You monster!" I screamed at him. He looked down at my pathetic form, "She'll hate you forever now! You sick bastard!" He looked at me for a few seconds before turning his back and walking to the limo, where he opened the door and sat down, shutting it with a loud bang. I cried even harder.

Naruto

It was so quiet, except for the rain which had now started pounding down, hitting the ground with a million tiny 'plops'. I was alone, out in the parking lot, loading up my guitar. It wasn't fair. I had no intention of loving someone, or ever falling in love at all. Then she came and I fell so far into love that it made me stupid. I looked up into the sky, my right hand reaching up, trying to reach the clouds. "You took my mother!" I screamed to the sky, "Now why are you taking away Hinata too?!" I gritted my teeth and watched a few cars go by on the highway. "I love her." I whispered, raindrops falling on my face.

I heard a car pull into the parking lot and turned to see the Hyuuga limo stop a few meters away. The door opened and I heard Hinata call out my name before she jumped out from the back and ran to me, jumping up. I only had a few seconds to get over my shock as I caught her, her legs wrapping around my waist, her head buried into my neck. I just stood there, dumbfounded as the limo rolled up next to me, the back window rolling down to reveal her fathers face.

"You hurt her, I kill you. Got it?" I nodded quickly, still in shock as he left, Then I fell to my knees with Hinata still in my arms. "Thank you," I whispered to the sky, "God damnit, thank you."
