A/N I do not own Naruto.

I do not own Ramen either, I've never eaten it too…kinda sad since naruto is in Ramen…. Sniffle

She tried to run very far away, but she was tired and miserable. Her legs didn't want to go the way she wanted them to, and her eyes never seemed to dry. After a while of aimlessly running, Sakura collapsed onto the ground behind a very large and dirty grave stone.

Puffing, Sasuke nearly tripped over Sakura's sprawled legs. Glaring at the pink haired girl, he offered her a hand up. Taking it hesitantly, Sasuke pulled her to her feet and they stood there, an awkward silence looming over them.

"I'm sor---"

"Are yo---" They both began. Blushing slightly, they looked at the ground, waiting for something to happen to break the silence that had once again fallen.

"Little, naïve, brother. Do you not understand what you should be doing in a situation like this?"

Both Sakura and Sasuke were startled by the voice suddenly appearing out of nowhere. It sounded so familiar to Sakura's ears.

"Itachi." Sasuke grumbled unpleasantly.

The man Sasuke labeled Itachi bowed to Sakura. "My humble flower, why do you dirty yourself by talking with my mere brother? Let me escort you from this ghastly place." Straightening, he held an arm out to her.

Sakura was stuck in confusion. Standing there a moment silent, she felt like an idiot. "I-itachi-san…? I…" She was cut off by a growl from nearby. Sakura's heart skipped a beat. Turning she listened again for the sound.

"Please, come…" He beckoned.

Sakura whizzed around, "No." Was her tart reply. Nothing in Itachi's facial features betrayed anything he felt, if he feels anything, Sasuke thought inwardly.

Making her way over to where she estimated the sound had come from, Sakura stopped. There was a large, gapping hole in the middle of the grass, slightly uncovered with a rusted latch over it. The remains of a well was the only thing Sakura could think of. Looking down into the dark expanse of the pit, she saw four eyes gleam back up at her. With a gleeful exclamation, Sakura began to think of ways to get them out of there.

In the end she decided to jump down in the well.

All Sasuke and Itachi could see was Sakura's pink hair suddenly disappear below the earth. Racing over, Itachi walking over, they came across the well and saw Sakura down inside, holding the large kitties on her shoulders as she climbed out going up the side of the well.

When she got to the top Sasuke gave her a hand. "Isn't it wet down there?"

She shook her head. "Nope, it's a dry well. Been like that ever since I was little."

Placing the cat's on the grass, Sakura seated herself down to and sighed. She was more than tired now.

"Sakura-chan, can we give you a ride home?" Sasuke offered.

Surprised, Sakura gazed up at him with a small smile. "Thank you, but I'll walk. I don't want to trouble you."

"But it's no trouble at all." Itachi added, clearly bent on having Sakura ride with them.

Feeling a little nervous, Sakura continued to decline their invitations until Itachi finally consented.

"Fine. But I'd like you to come over sometime, my humble flower…." With an elegant sweep of his hand, he bowed and left, with the grace of a cat.

Sasuke gave Itachi one glance before looking back at Sakura. "I'll walk you home. I don't think you can go very far without falling over."

Her ears twitched. It sounded to Sakura like Sasuke was challenging her or something. Pushing herself up, she glared at him. "Hell yeah."

They left the cemetery behind silently. Sakura kept her mind focused on walking as not to fall over from overexertion. Holding both kittens in her arms felt like she was carrying weights. She sighed but pushed on, not willing to show weakness before her crush.

Halfway to her house, Sasuke spoke to her without turning around. "Why were you at a cemetery?"

The question somewhat surprised Sakura. She shrugged, then grimaced at the pain the simple action caused throughout her body. "Probably the same reason as you, to honor someone close to me that is passed."

His step did not falter, but a depressed feeling began to come from Sasuke. Worried, Sakura tried to think of ways to make him feel better. In the end she couldn't think of anything and thus gave up. Then a small, stupid idea hit her….hard. Hard enough to make her actually consider doing it and go ahead with it.

Looking down at the pavement as she moved forward, Sakura took a deep breath and began to sing.

"Yura yura to yuganda sora e , Kimi no moto e tonde yuke , Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru , Futatsu no omoi….."

---Through the wavering, distorted sky , Let them fly to you , That feel so close together , These two loves---

Sasuke felt his heart constrict. This…this song is the one we sang together….back at the dance.

Sakura continued to sing, after she finished Yura Yura she went on to another one, and she sang until they reached her house. She could only hope that Sasuke would feel better by then.

Giving him a smile, she waved goodbye. "Byebye." Going inside and locking the door, Sakura finally gave into her fatigue and allowed herself to collapse.

The next day was sort of slow for Sakura. She was still tired beyond belief but managed a smile all day long. It was hard in Home Ec. With Ino pestering her the entire class about what she did wrong, but Sakura struggled through it. Lunch was nice, sitting with Tenten and Hinata and now Temari. The four of them gossiping or staring up at the clouds.

It was during Music that Sakura truly felt relaxed and happy since the other day. At the keyboard, playing with her headphones on, listening solely to her own melody. When she looked up at the clock she saw it was past time to go. Quickly grabbing her things, Sakura bolted down the stairs and to her locker. Shoving everything into her backpack, Sakura slung it over one shoulder and raced from the building. She had something important tonight that she couldn't miss.

As she exited the door, Sakura paused. She could've sworn she had heard something come from the side of the school building. Going over to see what it was, Sakura ran around to the corner.

Peeking over the edge least it be some romantic scene she didn't want to be involved in, she gasped.

Gaara and Sasuke stood staring one another down, fists poised. They charged each other and received and dealt blows. When they parted next, Sakura released her held breath.

Why are they fighting? Why?! Sakura clutched the wall for support as she fell. Sasuke-kun…..Gaara-san….

They went at each other again like crazy. Sakura felt helpless just standing there, watching. Letting her bag fall to the dust, Sakura sprinted off in their direction as fast as she could.

"STOOOOP!" She screamed her loudest. Gaara, in the middle of a punch, couldn't stop however. His fist plummeted down towards the frozen Sasuke with terrifying speed. He couldn't close his eyes as the blow descended upon him.

Pink streaked by his side and he heard a whisper. "no…"

Gaara felt his fist connect with something, but was utterly devasted when he saw Sakura go flying into the dirt.

"Sakura!" Both boys yelled.

"Sakura!"

A/N HEHEHE, this will go between heaven and hell as my days progress, sometimes there will be happy moments, like what I'm writing right now about Neji and Hinata and Sakura and comp, then there are bad ones like this and many before. Please.

Excuse me.
