" Come Together"

Chapter 4 " The Concert"

Thank you for the reviews I appreicate very much. This is my 2nd fanfic so I'm still kinda new to this but I'm glad you guys enjoy it!

The mourning after Sasuke was the first one to wake up. He looked down at the pink haired friend who was still sleeping peacefully and slowly got out of bed without waking her up and walked into his bathroom to take a shower. Sasuke and Itachi's bedrooms also come with their own bathroom and two walk in closets. While he was in the shower, Sakura had woken up when she heard the shower running and sat up from the bed.

' I guess Sasuke's taking a shower. That reminds me I should go find Itachi to let him know I'm okay.'

Sakura climbed out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. She walked down the stairs to see Itachi in the kitchen making him some breakfast.

" Good mourning Itachi."

Itachi looked up when he heard his name and saw Sakura walking towards him.

" Ah I see sleeping beauty has finally awoken. Are you feeling any better?"

Itachi asked as he got done making some eggs and offered a plate to Sakura which she took and got some eggs. Then they both went to sit down at the table and began eating.

" Yes I am. Thank you so much for everything. I am so embarrassed that I fainted again in front of Sasuke, I bet he thinks I'm crazy or something." Sakura said.

" Naw, he cares about you. Trust me you are the first person who isn't family to ever be in his room. Not even Naruto has ever seen his room."

" Are you serious? Why is that?"

" He is a very private person and that is kinda like his only personal space that he can keep to himself. He even keeps it lock at all times whenever he isn't in there and only he has a key to open it. He has another room that he'll bring girls to but never to his own room so I was quite amazed when he took you in there when you could of stayed in his playroom or even the couch." Itachi said as they both continued eating.

" Well I bet it's because he doesn't want Naruto to bug the crap out of him if he didn't treat me right."

" Trust me, Sasuke doesn't usually care about anyone except himself so he wouldn't care what Naruto would have to say about him."

" Whatever you say Itachi, anyways do you still talk to Kisame?" Sakura asked.

" Yeah, everyone is coming down in like a month or 2 for our reunion and they are having it here, you and Temari will have to hang out with us."

" Okay!" Sakura said with excitement.

" So this is where you went to Sakura."

Sakura looked up and saw Sasuke walking towards the too with a navy blue shirt on with white pants while his hair was still a little wet.

' God he looks so hot right now. Crap can't be getting horny now.' Sakura thought to herself as she smiled at him.

" Yeah I woke up while you were taking a shower so I went looking for Itachi to thank him for last night and that's how we ended up here." Sakura explained while Sasuke nodded and took a seat beside her.

" Well I need to go head for work, you guys have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Itachi said as he got up from his seat and left his house to go to his job.

" So Sasuke, do you think after breakfast, you could drop me off at my apartment?" Sakura asked as she watched Sasuke get up and got some food for himself and went back to sit beside her.

" Sure, are you doing okay today?" Sasuke asked while still eating his breakfast..

" Yeah I'm really sorry I keep passing out in front of you. I bet it's really annoying."

" Yeah you are annoying but I like it so it's okay." Sasuke smirked at her while she smiled back at him.

" And Naruto told me about your illness so trust me if it was really bothering me I wouldn't be spending time with you." Sasuke continued to speak more then went back to eating.

" Thanks." Sakura said softly as she also continued eating.

When both of them were done eating, Sasuke drove Sakura home. When they got to her apartment, Sakura got out of the car as Sasuke walked her to the door.

" Hey Sasuke, do you want to come in for a minute, you can say hi to Naruto if he's home."

Sakura asked which Sasuke nodded to and they both entered the apartment. When they both went in, they saw Sai and Gaara, one of Sai band mates, hanging out in the living room part of the apartment.

" Hey ugly." Sai said as he looked up to see who was coming into the apartment. Gaara looked over and saw the two and nodded his head.

" Hey guys, what are you up to?" Sakura asked as she walked closer to the couch that they were sitting on.

" Nothing much really, just chillin before the concert tonight." Gaara said.

" Concert?" Sasuke asked as he glanced at Sakura.

" Yea we are performing at the Persona club tonight around 8pm. You should come check it out. I'm pretty sure dickless is going." Sai told Sasuke as he got up from his seat and gave Sasuke a ticket to get into the concert for free.

" Hey thanks man. Who's dickless by the way?" Sasuke asked as Sakura started to laugh.

" Dickless is Naruto. Sai has nicknames for people like I'm ugly, Naruto is dickless and all the girls he sleeps with are called bitches. Kinda like how you always call Naruto Dobe." Sakura explained to him.

" Ah I get it. so where is he anyway?" Sasuke asked.

" He's in the bathroom, he should be out any minute." Sai said then began walking to his room. Then everyone heard the bathroom door open and turned around to see Naruto walking out of the bathroom. Naruto looked around and saw Sasuke and Sakura standing in the apartment.

" Oh hey you two, Sakura I'm guessing you were with him last night and that's why you haven't been here all mourning." Naruto started to grin at Sasuke then Sasuke glared back at him.

" Yeah I went over to his house yesterday and I passed out so he took care of me." Sakura said while Sai walked back into their living room.

" So dickless are you coming to the show tonight?" Sai asked as he sat back down on the couch next to Gaara.

" Fuck yeah I am oh hey Sasuke, do you want to come?" Naruto asked.

" Yeah, Sai already gave me a ticket. Anyways I should get going so why don't we just ride together." Sasuke said.

" Alright, Sakura are you going to ride with us?" Naruto turned to ask Sakura but she shook her head.

" Nope I'm going with Sai and Gaara but I'm pretty sure I'll see you guys there." Sakura said.

" Hn... okay I'll call you later Naruto." Sasuke said as he walked out of the apartment.

" So Sakura, what's with you and dobe?" Naruto asked Sakura as he watched her sitting down across from the couch.

" What do you mean? Me and Sasuke are just friends. It's nice to hang out with someone with the same views and stuff as I do. I told you that I was done with flings and one night stands." Sakura said.

" Whatever you say Sakura." Naruto said as he walked back into his room.

' Sasuke is hot but no I can't fall for anyone. I don't want to get hurt again.' Sakura thought as she got out of her seat and walk back into her room as Sai and Gaara continued to watch TV.

A few hours later, Sasuke, Naruto and Hinata arrived at the Persona club after Sasuke picked them up and handed the bouncer their tickets and walked into the place. There were already a bunch of people there waiting for the band to get on stage so the three of them tried to get to the close to the stage. A few minutes later, everyone looked up to see the band had finally gotten up on stage.

" What's up people? Incase you didn't know who we are, we are Sandstorm and we are here to entertain you guys so chill out and enjoy yourselves."

Temari said to the mic then went to strap on her bass guitar while Gaara got situated with his guitar and Konkuro sat down with his drums. Then Sai walked up on stage and they all started to perform. Everyone started to get wild with their performance and enjoying themselves. A few minutes later, Sasuke noticed that he hadn't seen Sakura since they had arrived and started to get a little worried if something might had happened to her.

" Yo dobe."

" What teme? Are you enjoying yourself?" Naruto asked his friend as he had his arms around Hinata's waist.

" Where's Sakura? I thought she was going to be here tonight?"

" Aw it looks like someone misses a pink haired girl. Well she usually just hangs out backstage at their concerts since of all the people here she might get sick but we'll see her when the show is over"

" Oh I see... well I'll be back, I'm going to go get a drink from the bar."

Sasuke said as he left his friends and started to walk towards the back of the room, where the bar was located at. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that Sakura couldn't enjoy the concert like him and Naruto but suddenly all of his thoughts dissolved when he spotted a pink haired girl standing by the bar talking to some guy. He was walking towards him and he realized the guy was hitting on her so Sasuke glanced at her and noticed she was looking very uncomfortable so he continued to talk towards them.

" So babe come on why won't you let me be your main squeeze tonight?" The brown headed male continued to talk to Sakura.

" I'm sorry I took so long sweetie, but I promise you I won't leave you again."

Sakura heard that statement and felt a pair of arms circling around her waist and looked up and smiled when she saw that those arms belong to Sasuke Uchiha.

" Sasuke!" Sakura said with excitement while Sasuke looked down at her and smirked then went to look at the male who was still standing in front of them.

" Get lost." Sasuke said in a cold tone of voice that made the guy so nervous he quickly moved away from the scene without saying another word to the two. When he saw that he was gone he took his hands off of Sakura and stood next to her.

" Thanks Sasuke, that jerk would just not leave me alone." Sakura said.

" Hn. What are you doing here anyway? Naruto told me that you usually hang out backstage during their show?"

" Well sometimes I do but tonight I really didn't want to so I usually just hang out at the bar since there isn't usually a lot of people up here and I can get free drinks. Hey would you like something? I'll treat ya!" Sakura said as she walked closer to the bar and waited for the bartender to arrive.

" Hey Joe can I get a cranberry and vodlka and what would you like Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she turn towards him.

" Just a bud light." Sasuke responded.

" Sure here you go, is this on Sai's tab?" Joe, the bartender asked.

" Yes thank you." Sakura handed Sasuke his beer while her drink was in her other hand and the turned around to watch Sai perfom some more.

" You know, you don't have to stay up here with me, you can go back down there with Naruto. I've seen them perform many times but this is your first time so you should enjoy yourself." Sakura said.

" Don't worry about it, I can see and hear them fine from here. By the way I didn't know you drink." Sasuke looked at her while she started sipping on her drink.

" Well I drink occasionally, as long as I take my pills I can drink or do drugs as much as I want but I left all of that behind when I moved here but I don't get drunk though."

" Yeah that's understandable." Sasuke said as he continued to drink his beer.

" Yep I had been drinking since I was 14 so I know my limit." Sakura said with a smile.

' God I love that smile wait what? I need to shut up.'

Sasuke said to himself and he just nodded his head to her and looked up on the stage and continued to watch them perform. A few minutes later, Sakura and Sasuke suddenly heard their names being called out and turned around to see Ino, Shikamaru and Neji walking up to them.

" Hey guys." Sakura smiled at them.

" Hey you two, why are you guys up here? I would of figured you would be near the stage rocking out." Ino said.

" There are too many people down there for me to enjoy myself so I usually stay up here and Sasuke is being my body guard in case some drunk guy tries to hit on me again." Sakura giggled as Sasuke took a glance at her.

" Oh cool so where are Naruto and Hinata at?" Neji asked.

" They are down there near the stage." Sasuke pointed out.

" Yay lets go Shikamaru I wanna get closer to the stage! See you guys after the concert." Ino yelled out as she pulled Shikamaru along with Neji walking behind them.

" Are you sure you want to stay here with me? Everyone else is done there and I will be fine by myself." Sakura said as they turned around and began watching the show again.

" I'm fine and besides... I wouldn't be a very good body guard if I left you with all theses drunk guys." Sasuke said while smirking to Sakura which made her blush a little.

" Thanks."

After the concert was over, everyone got together including the band Sandstorm all went back to Naruto's apartment to hang out. Sasuke, Sakura and Gaara were sitting on one couch, Shikamaru, Ino and Sai who also had a girl with him sitting on his lap were on another couch, Naruto, Hinata and Temari were on the 3rd couch in the room while Konkuro and Neji was standing up.

" You guys were great tonight! This night was so much fun! I'm surprised you are here with us Sasuke." Ino talked while looking at Sasuke.

" Hn." Was all Sasuke said as he kept drinking a beer that Sai offered to everyone.

" Ino, why are you always like that towards him?" Sakura asked

" Well.. I like giving him a hard time and he is usually a jerk anyway." Ino explained then Sasuke leaned over to Sakura's ear and started whispering to her

" She used to have a huge crush on me and I wouldn't give her the time of day with her. She's still mad but at least she's over me and has Shikamaru."

Sakura nodded her head as in understanding what he said as he pulled back and continued to sip his beer.

" So lets have some fun here! Raise your hand if your not a virgin." Temari yelled out who was started to feel tipsy and raised her hand and looked around to see no one else raising their hand and giving her weird looks.

" Fuck you guys. Sakura, Sai, Gaara and Konkuro you better raise your hands right now." Temari said in an angry tone making the 4 of them raise their hands. Then Sasuke, Neji, Naruto and Hinata raised their hands.

" Holy shit blonde girl over here is a virgin?" Gaara stated while pointing to Ino.

" Well yeah... I want it to be at the right time, right Shikamaru?" Ino asked nervously and Shikamaru nodded.

" Sakura you aren't a virgin?" Hinata asked.

" Hell no." Sai said as he began to laugh.

" I want details! Sakura who was it with your first time and how old were you?" Ino asked.

" Well I was 14..."

Sakura started speaking and Sasuke took a glance at her and noticed her nervousness then he remembered what Itachi said about her first time and interrupted her.

" Well that's not that bad I was 15 when I lost mine and I don't even remember who it was with so I would be really surprised if Sakura remembered her first time." Sasuke said while Sakura looked at him surprised of his response.

' Thank you Sasuke, but how did you know I didn't want to tell anyone what happened or less... Itachi told him what happened. I'll have to ask him later.' Sakura thought.

" Yeah that's true hey why are we talking about our sex lives anyway?" Temari asked which got everyone to look at her again.

" What?" Temari asked.

" Temari, I think it's about time to go back to the hotel, don't you think Gaara?" Konkuro stood up and looked at Gaara and nodded and stood up as well.

" Okay guys good show, I'll see you guys later." Sai said as he watched his bandmates leave the apartment.

" Well I'm going to bed. See you guys in the mourning." Sai got up from the couch after his girl got up and they both walked into his room and closed the door.

" Yeah I'm going to go to bed too, oh hey Sasuke, could I talk to you for a minute?" Sakura asked as she got up from the couch.

" Yeah, you can walk me to my car."

Sasuke got up and walked out with Sakura as everyone else wasn't paying attention and kept on drinking. Once they got outside they walked to Sasuke's car when Sakura began to speak.

" Hey Sasuke, thanks for sticking up for me back there. By any chance did... Itachi tell you how we met?"

Sasuke looked at her and noticed she was a little nervous about bringing up the subject so he went up to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Sakura was first shocked by his action but then realized what his answer was.

" Please don't tell anyone okay? Not even Sai or Naruto knows what had happened and I try not to think about what had happen that night." Sakura said as tears began to flow out of her eyes and put her arms around Sasuke's waist.

" I promise I won't tell a soul." Sasuke looked down and noticed she had stopped crying when he responded to her. He wanted to stay like this forever but he knew if Sakura didn't go back to the apartment soon, everyone will start wondering what was going on between them. He slowly put his arms to the side and started to open his car down after Sakura let go of him.

" Good night Sakura." Sasuke said.

" Yeah good night Sasuke."

Sakura smiled at him and walked back into the apartment as Sasuke started his car and drove off back to his house. When Sakura got back inside she noticed Naruto and Hinata missing, most likely they were in his bedroom while Ino was passed out on the couch as Shikamaru and Neji were playing video games.

" Goodnight guys." Sakura said to the two boys then went to her room and went to sleep minutes later thinking about the great night she had.
