Chapter 31: High School Reunion
Oh my god!!!!! you have to read! you have to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dream Sequence:
Sasuke's POV
It was the High school reunion and I was walking through a crowd of people, I dont know where i was. I just knew that I was at a reunion. Suddenly a pink blur ran up to me.
It was Sakura, I dont know what she was wearing, because everything was a blur except her beautiful face.
Sakura smiled her glowing smile and put her hands on my tie and she started to fix it.
" You look so handsome..." she said as she let go of my tie
She kissed me on the lips and ran off. I dont know why I didnt chase after her. Maybe it was because I was dazed when she kissed me. But as much as possible I did want to chase after her. I wanted to call out her name and hold her in my arms once again.
When I got back to my senses I started to run and look around to find her. I wasnt about to let her go again.
I kept running and running and running and I stopped when I spotted Naruto.
" Oh hey! Long time no see, teme!" Naruto said to me when I walked up to him
" Have you seen Sakura?" I asked him seriously
Naruto looked at me confusingly
I shook his shoulders " Have you seen Sakura?!" I repeated
His face suddenly looked hurt
" Sasuke...Sakura-chan...Sakura-chan...is dead." That was like a slap to my face
But...I just saw her earlier!
" She was driving to the airport to stop you from leaving a couple of years ago...and was in a car crash"
End of Dream Sequence
Normal POV:
Four and a half years later...
" C'mon Forehead!"
" I said 'no'! Stop being such a pig and suck it up!"
" uhmmm...Mommy?"
" Yes, baby?"
" yoh buwning the chicken..."
" See! That's a sign that you should go!"
" I said 'no'! " Sakura Haruno said loudly for her blonde best friend to hear from upstairs as she fried chicken for their dinner.
Young Sora Haruno was drawing on the kitchen counter while listening to his Mom and his Auntie Ino shout/fight at/with each other.
" Mommy?" Sora asked as he scribbled the name ' Mommy and me ' on the bottom of his drawing
" Yes, babe?" Sakura questioned her son as she put the fried chicken on the counter next to the ketchup and the rice.
" INO! Dinner's ready!!" the pink-haired girl shouted before she face her son
" Wheh does auntie Ino want you to go?" Sora asked as he handed his mommy the drawing he made of himself and her.
Sakura smiled at the drawing.
" She wants me to go to my old school for a reunion..." the pink-haired girl said
" Which is going to be super fun, with free food! ha! just kidding. But your grandma wants us to sing! And you know that mommy likes to sing, right?" Ino said to Sora as she sat on a stool to eat her chicken.
Sora nodded while Sakura glared at her best friend. They both knew that you can persuade Sora to do anything if it would make his mommy happy.
" Plus, your auntie Hinata, auntie Tenten, uncle Naruto and uncle Neji will be there!"
Sora's eyes widened as he chewed the food he had in his mouth which Sakura stuffed in him.
"unkie keke ah unku ngehi?" he tried to say as he chewed
" Dont talk with your mouth full" Sakura told him
" Who is auntie Tenten and uncle Neji, again?" Sora asked his mother's best friend.
Ino wiped her mouth with the napkin that Sakura handed to her and she grabbed two white cardboards with pictures on them out of no where.
The first cardboard had a big picture of their best friend, Tenten Hyuuga on it.
" This brown-haired bunhead in your auntie Tenten and this -she puts up a pic of neji- is your uncle Neji! you remember, now?"
" Yes, ma'am."
Sora faced his mommy
" Mommy, you should go...please? It will be fun!"
" -sigh- If I go then you have to come too in a vest." Sakura said slyly
" oh...ok! nevermind then!" Sora said showing his mother his plate. Sakura nodded, and Sora put his plate in the sink.
( Sora showed Sakura his plate for her to see how much he ate and to ask permission to put his plate away and go play)
" -gasp- Forehead! I almost had him!" Ino blamed the pink-haired girl
" Dont blame me blame the vest!" Sakura said as she shrugged and put the dishes away.
Its been four and a half years. Sora was soon to be starting kindergarden. Sakura had her ups and downs with problems but she faced them, she faced them with Ino and Shikamaru helping her. She is so grateful that even until now, the couple are still there for her. Sakura's hair grew longer, it was straight up to her chest. While Sora's hair was dark violet, a mix of Sakura's pink hair and Sasuke's dark blue hair. He had beautiful green eyes just like his mothers, he had his father's nose and his mother's beautiful smile.
From what they knew, Tenten was five months pregnant and is having a girl. Her marriage with Neji was perfect. They loved each other and took care of each other. The reason why Sora hardly remembers Tenten and Neji was because the last time Tenten (only. Neji doesnt know abt him yet) visited Sora was when he barely started walking.
Hinata and Naruto are engaged and are going to be married next year. They visited Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru and Sora every vacation they had, long or short.
While Ino and Shikamaru are still together. They broke up once earlier in the year, when they were still going to college. But fortunately, Sora, the boy frickin genius, got the couple back together again.
*~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~* *~ -:-Always and Forever-:- ~**~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~*
" Are you sure you dont want to go?" Ino asked for the tenth time. She was wearing a purple tube dress with a white purse and white heels. Her hair was in a curled in a ponytail and more hair was covering her left eye. (Shippuden bangs)
At this point when Ino was about to leave with Shikamaru, she wasnt sure...
At Sakura's lack of response, Ino said, " Just incase you change your mind and want to go, your dress is ironed in the laundry room and your heels are in my room and I have a big feeling that youre going to need that cordless mic, so bring it"
Ino walked out the door smiling at her best friend.
*~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~* *~ -:-Always and Forever-:- ~**~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~*
Ino's POV
Shikamaru and I were holding hands as we walked inside our old school gym. The gym was decorated with lots of lights and crep paper. there were lots of different colored lasers pointing at different directions and there was a disco ball in the middle of the gym. There was also a big banner above the stage that said, " Welcome class of 07-08!" Yepness its 2012 right now in the middle of August.
We walked toward the table where we spotted our friends and as we walked there we said a couple of 'hello's' and 'hi's' and 'omg how are you?'. While they practically all said, ' Wow! You two are still together?!'
We arrived at the table. Hinata was wearing a indigo spaghetti strap dress up to her knees and white heels. With her hair in a bun and her straight bangs up to her eyes (she now has long hair and straight bangs from Shippuden) She was with a smiling Naruto who looks much more mature than the last time I saw him.
Tenten was wearing a brown tube dress and at the bottom was a little loose and frilly for her baby bump to be comfortable. She had her hair in ponytail which was surprising to me, but just let it go. She was with a worried looking Neji.
Then there was Sasuke. Ha! With no date. Ha! Boom Shakalaka! Thats what he deserves! His hair was longer, I have to say, he looks pretty good in a tie, but my Shikamaru looks better. And that doesnt change the fact that I still think, no...I know that he is a total asshole and a jerkoff for what he did to Sakura.
Shikamaru and I sat down in our seats. the boys were on the other side of the table while the girls were on the opposite.
I smiled at Hinata, " Hey! How are you?" I asked
Hinata smiled back at me and said, " Im fine, how about you? How is Blossom and Sora?"
" aw, their doing great, while Im just the same as ever!" My smile was wiped off my face as I faced Tenten.
"...so...how are you?" I asked, I know that she knows that Im pissed at her.
"Im doing okay...I guess I know how much Sakura went through when she was pregnant..." Tenten smiled
" No,okay? You will never understand how much Sakura went through. Because you have Neji. She had to go through that all by herself without Sasuke!"
I was pissed at her because she never bothered to talk to Sasuke and get him to his senses.
" look Pig, I-" she started oh no she didnt.
" Only Sakura calls me 'pig' and no, you listen to me. Im not going to just forget that Im mad at you just because youre pregnant, okay?! You dont know and you never will know how much Sakura went through and is going through now!"
Sasuke's POV
Why isnt Sakura here yet?... After that dream I had last night, all I want now is to see her face again.
"-- kura went through and is going through now!" I heard Ino's voice shout. But only that the ones in our table could hear her,
All of us boys looked in their direction. Ino was shouting at Tenten? You could tell that Tenten was going to burst and start to shout at Ino back. Ino was about to say something else, but I saw Shikamaru talk to Ino and whisper something in her ear which made Ino calm down. While Neji was about to get up to go to his wife but Shikamaru stopped him.
" And now Class of 2008! Please welcome the S-H-I-T who is going to sing the batch song!" We all heard Shizune's voice through the mic.
But...how are they gonna sing if Sakura isnt here yet?
Normal POV
The three girls stood up and walked to the stage. Tenten was on the drums and was far away enough for her not to hurt her belly. Hinata was on the keyboard, and Ino was holding a mic on center stage. A video played on the back of them. It was when they were in battle of the bands in their cheering uniform that was tight.
Hinata made the music start on her keyboard while Tenten did the beat.
" Hey guys! Sorry, but our little Cheery Blossom couldnt make it today!"
Sasuke's head dropped low and he just focused his eyes on the table. Of course, the boys noticed this and smirked, because he still had feeling for the Blossom though he was the one that left her.
Ino:
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
i know that youve been waiting for me
im waiting too
in my imagination
id be all over you...
Minutes earlier...
Sakura decided to go so she threw her dress on fixed her hair and dressed Sora up. Sakura was wearing a pink dress that was the same color as her hair and a red head band for her hair. Her dress was like the ones you wear when you're going to dance salsa. She put make up on and made herself look pretty and brought the mic that Ino told her to bring. Sora was wearing black pants, a blue long sleeve polo with a vest over it. She carried Sora with one arm and drove to their high school.
When they arrived. There was a crowd od people in the door way.
Sakura looked at her son in her arms.
" babe, when I put you down you have to go inside to where auntie Shizune is, okay? Tell her I wanted you to be with grandma, okay? Can you do that for mommy?" Sakura said
Sora nodded
" Okay, thank you. Now give you're mommy a kiss" Sakura made her cheek face him and Sora pecked it.
-i know u got that fever for hundred and two
and boy i know i feel the same
temperature's through the roof
Sakura heard her best friend singing, she took her mic out of her bag and took a deep breath.
*~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~* *~ -:-Always and Forever-:- ~**~ -:-SaSuSaKu-:- ~*
Ino was looking around the gym as she sang, she smiled when she saw Sora get through the crowd and run to Shizune
After Ino's part was done, she put her mic away from her lips which made the crowd confused. Ino knew that Sakura was going to join her.
And on timing they heard a
If there's a camera up in here then,
It's gone leave with me when I do.
They heard Sakura's voice, her beautiful angelic voice. Sasuke's head shot up and he looked around for his...his ex-girlfriend.
If there's a camera up in here then,
It best not catch this flick on Youtube...
Some thought that I was just a tape recorder or just her voice from the video that was showing behind the stage. They thought that before...
They saw Sakura push through the crowd of people in the entrance and in the gym walking to the stage. Sakura's eyes were straight, she didnt look at anyone else but Ino.
cuz if you run you're mouth
and brag about this secret rendezvous
Ino:
I will hunt you down
Sakura kept singing her part as she got up the stage and her and Ino's fists' punched eachother ( Sakura's fist punched ino's fist, you know, what boys do)
And at the same time as the video behind them, they danced the same dance from before at the chorus
Both:
Touch my body
Throw me on the floor,
Wrestle me around,
Play wit me some more.
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed,
I just wanna make you feel like you never did.
Of course Sakura made sure that she lessened the 'sexiness' from her dancing since it wouldnt be right since she's a mother already. She had to be decent somehow.
At Ino's part after the chorus, Sakura went to the back of the stage (behind her) and hugged Hinata and Tenten and smiled brightly when she saw Tenten's pregnant stomach.
This surprised Tenten since she thought that Sakura would be mad at her just like Ino is.
Sasuke's eyes lit up as he stared at Sakura's beautiful face. She was more beautiful now than she was before. The boys noticed this and shook his head at Sasuke. He let go of one of the most beautiful women that theyve ever met.
Sasuke's eyes never left Sakura.
Shikamaru and Naruto were the only ones from the four boys that noticed the whispers that the others were doing, they were saying, " Wow! Sakura looks great! I imagined her being fat or something, that maybe she let herself go, since Sasuke wasnt with her and she was pregnant"
Everyone clapped when their song was done.
the four girls after hugging each other, went to their seats.
" You guys were good!" Naruto exclaimed
" I thought you werent gonna come, Sakura" Shikamaru said
" hm, I changed my mind!" sakura said as she shrugged and smiled
suddenly they heard a " SORA! DONT RUN!" they two groups turned their eyes to the direction that they heard Shizune shout.
Sora was running up to their table and he stopped and put his head and hands on Sakura's lap.
Sakura fixed Sora's hair and said in a baby voice, " Hey, what are you doing here?" she poked his nose and Sora giggled
"Im so sorry" Shizune said to the two groups as she carried Sora. Sora looked back at his mommy and waved
Sakura laughed and waved back.
" He's so big now!" Tenten exclaimed
" I know! he's really smart too!" Hinata said
Ino looked at Sakura but she just shrugged
" I didnt know that Shizune and Kakashi got a kid..." Neji said low enough only for the guys to hear
" That's not Shizune's kid..." Naruto whispered to Neji
At the other side of the gym... Kin thought that she should do something for Sakura, so she made a video of something. She saw Shizune carrying Sakura's son so she ran up to him.
Kin and Sora met a couple of weeks ago when they were in the mall.
Kin whispered something to him and handed him a video.
Sakura's POV
I tried my best not to look at him, I knew that he was staring at me when I was on the stage, and I know that until now he is still staring! So...I ignored his presence.
Suddenly the music changed and a video played on the screen on the stage.
There's always that one person
that will always have you're heart
you'll never see it coming
cuz you're blinded from the start
know that you're the one for me
its clear for everyone to see
oh baby...oh!
You will always be my boo
'My Boo' by: Usher and Alicia Keys started to play the screen then showed the words
" Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno
The Sharingan and The S-H-I-T
Ice Cube and Cherry Blossom
Always and Forever"
This caught Sasuke's and Sakura's attention. They both glanced at each other but quickly looked back to the screen.
See, I dont know about ya'll but I know about us
and uh Its the only way we know how to rock
The screen showed pictures of the two together. One was when Sakura was smiling brightly at the camera while Sasuke was kissing her cheek.
See, I dont know about ya'll but I know about us
and uh Its the only way we know how to rock
It showed a picture of when Sasuke had his arms around Sakura from behind with his head leaning on the crock of her neck.
Do you remember girl
Im the one who made your first kiss?
cuz i remember girl
you were the one who said,
" put your lips like this"
It showed a picture of Sakura in her cheerleading uniform holding her pompoms, talking to Sasuke which was wearing his basketball jersey.
I was there and you were my baby
It showed the pictures of the S-H-I-T and the Sharingan together in pairs.
It started when we were younger
you were mine (my boo)
and I know we used to argue its alright (my boo)
i know we havent seen eachother in a while
but you will always be my boo
The song faded away and the screen turned black. Sakura wasnt that affected by the pictures, she was a little confused and angry by the fact the someone was playing a trick on her like that and the fact that her son had to witness all of that.
Sasuke, on the other hand, just missed those times they had with each other.
They were both at least a little affected on how the crowd was saying their ' awwwwws' and ' they were so cute back then!' 'too bad they broke up'
Everyone went back to their own little conversations and food, thinking that the show was over.
" Ok...that was...umm... weird..." Naruto said awkwardly as he turned to face Sasuke.
Sakura was just too busy looking for where Tsunade, Shizune and Sora were.
Suddenly a beat started to play and everyone looked back at the screen. The beginning of 'So Sick' by Neyo was playing.
The black screen showed white words,
" What really happened..."
The video started to show this...
As the screen started to play the video, Sakura's eyes widened and she remembered the day so clearly...
Flashback:
I told Sasuke to meet me in the hallways at school, I was so eager to him that i was carrying his child, but also nervous.
" Sakura!" I heard my name... I knew that voice. I turned my back to be face to face with James.
" James....what do you want?! Whatever it is I dont have time for it now...Im going to meet Sasuke and-"
"-COUGH-" I heard
Next thing I knew I was pushed hard against the wall. And James' lips were on mine. This kiss was nothing like Sasuke's. It hurt my lips. I tried my best to push him off of me and succeeded. I punched him with all my might right after. I saw him hit his head on the other side of the lockers.
" Wait, Sasuke-kun!"
gasp! Sasuke saw!
I ran to the doors even though my body hurt from James' slamming me to the wall.
" Sasuke!" I shouted he completely ignored me. I saw Kin looking at me, shocked and she ran back inside the school.
" Sasuke! Please!"I tried again, this time with tears falling down my face. he went inside his car without a glance at me and drove away. I stood there for at least 10 seconds to register in my mind that he left me.
End of Flashback
That scene was exactly what showed up on the screen. That was the worst day of Sakura's life, and she couldnt help but have tears building up behind her eyes as she saw how hurt she looked as Sasuke left that day. especially when she saw Sasuke carrying the ring he was going to propose to her with.
Everyone in the gym was quiet and shocked about what they all witnessed. Sakura didnt know what to do...if she stood up and left, it would make a scene...if she just stayed there and pretend like nothing happened...there would be questions...lots and lots of questions... How did they get that frickin tape anyway?!
Sasuke at this point couldnt help but feel guilty and hurt. 'She didnt cheat on me'...thats all he thought.
No one spoke in the gym everyone just had their eyes glued on to the blank black screen.
Sakura made her body face the table and just hid her face in her hands.
" Ok...That was...that was...ok, I'll tell the truth, that was just plain sad right there..." The MC said trying to get the crowd to loosen up.
cricket...
cricket...
cricket...
" ummm..ok well I got Tsunade telling me that she wants all you high school sweethearts to dance on the floor right now. i dont care if youre married to someone else, if youre pregnant or if...yeah..you get my point. She wants the S-H-I-T to get your earphones to sing as you dance. we got the instruments thing ready, all you have to do is get your beautiful voice ready! I know you know this song!"
Ino got up holding Shikamaru's hand and handed the earphone to Sakura...
The other girls were already standing with their earphones already on their heads and their hands holding their boyfriends'/finaces/husband's.
Sakura sighed and made a desperate 'do-i-have-to?!' look on her face. Ino sighed and said, " I dont blame you if you back out..." Music started to play
Ino:
ohhhh
Sakura sighed once again and put the earphone on. Until now...god really is trying to torture me...the pink-haired girl thought as she recognized the song that she had to sing..it was 'I still believe' by Mariah Carey
Sasuke stood there looking away...seeing if she was going to agree to dance with him or not. She had no choice, so she went.
Ino figured she should sing the first part to give Sakura some time.
Ino:
You look in my eyes
and I get emotional inside
I know its crazy but
you still can touch my heart
and after all this time
you think that I
wouldnt feel the same
well time melts into nothing
and nothing's changed
Sakura just went through with the stupid dance and song.
Sakura:
I still believe
someday you and me
will find ourselves in love again
Sakura made sure that she didnt look at Sasuke, she just looked away as she sang.
I had a dream
someday you and me
will find ourselves in love again
Each day of my life
Sakura and Ino:
Im filled with all the joy
I could find
Ino:
You know that im
im not the desperate type
As the couple danced, Sasuke didnt take his eyes off the beautiful woman that he was holding. He knew he made a big mistake and regretted the mistake he did. As he watched the video...He was heartbroken because he hurt her and she didnt deserve that.
Tenten:
If there's on spark of hope
left in my grasp
I'd hold with both hands
He kept looking at Sakura hoping that she would look back.
" Sakura" Sasuke said to get her attention. Sakura hesitated but glanced at Sasuke and ended up staring back at his dark mysterious eyes.
Hinata:
Its worth the risk of burning
to have a second chance
" What...what happened to us?" Sasuke asked, Sakura's eyes held more pain than what she came in the gym with.
Sakura:
No
All:
no no no no
Sakura:
I need you baby
i still believe that we can be together
no no no
It was funny because at Sasuke's right timing, it was like she was saying 'no' to him. Sasuke was a little happy, is that the right word, that she couldnt answer that question quickly because he was afraid what she would say. He was still in love with her. That he was sure of. But was she?
Ino:
If we believe that true love
Tenten:
never has to end
Hinata:
Then we both know that we will love again
Sakura:
mm...oh
I still believe
someday you and me
will find ourselves in love again
Oh, baby, yeah, yeah
I had a dream
All:
You and me
Sakura:
will find ourselves in love again
The song ended with Sakura singing a high note, her eyes were back on Sasuke. The both stopped dancing and just looked at each other for a while. Sasuke was afraid and waiting for her to answer his question...or not..he doesnt know what to expect...While Sakura just wanted to examine his face as he waited. She saw pain and hurt written all over his face with a black thick sharpey, and she was satisfied.
" You didnt trust me...thats what happened"
I told u it would be gud! well...to me it was...but that was pretty long fellas...pretty long...i like the whole "sakura-chan is dead" thing. its freckeh XD i'll tell u the truth, i get my inspiration of writing from music. Iv been daydreaming and imagining this part of the story everytime i listen to 'touch my body' and 'i still believe' im into the whole 'its not popular anymore but im gonna listen to it cuz its cool' stuffers.
so....pls tell me if its good! the story is starting to heat up!
