The last chapter. Cries. It had to come sometime, a song fic can sadly only be so long. I hope you have enjoyed it thus far. And just because its the last chapter doesn't mean I dont' want you to press the pretty green button, because if no one does I won't post the epilogue MUAHAHAHA. *cough* sorry about that.
Cant you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you waiting at your back door all this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with
You belong with me
Have you ever though just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

As I sang the last line it was as if only Sasuke and I existed, then the entire crowd erupted into applause. I broke out of my trance and also broke my contact with the pitch black eyes.
I bowed to my audience before walking offstage. I was surprised when I nearly fell when I was out of view of the audience. The only thing that stopped my downward decent was Gaara's quick arm that slipped around my waist to steady me. I turned to meet his turquoise eyes, noticing for the first time that my entire body was trembling and tears were streaming out of my eyes.
"So, did you make your decision?" he asked without blinking.
I thought about the question, feeling myself grow steady as I did. I straightened and pulled gently out of his grasp. I stood tall, looking up to meet his eyes defiantly. "I'm done being ignored."
He gave me a soft smile and a nod, approving of my decision.

I stared at the spot Naru had just vacated, my mind working desperately to comprehend what had just happened. The back of my mind analyzed my current state and accurately decided I was in shock.
Lee came back on stage to announce that that had been the end of the show and to have a youthful night. I barely heard him.
Sakura said something to me, but whatever it was I didn't bother to actually listen to. I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts. I was then roughly drug from the room by my insane stalker girlfriend.
I drove her home without listening to a word she was saying, though I noted that her annoying voice got more and more insistent the longer I stayed quiet. It wasn't until we pulled into her driveway that I noticed the subject of the conversation was about, in her words, "that sluty bitch" and "Dirty whore"
That was when I snapped. I spun on the unsuspecting, ranting girl, "Shut your damn trap already you stupid bitch. What do you think gives you the right to blatantly insult my best friend? You call her a slut when you've been fucking your best friends boyfriend?" I scoffed at her shocked expression, "Oh yeah, I know your screwing Sai, and frankly I don't care. If I hear you say anything else about Naru I swear I will tell the entire school how much of a whore you really are. Now get the hell out of my car!" I reached over and opened the door. She blinked at me before sprinting out of the car emitting howls imitating a dying cat. I slammed the door shut and sped home. I let out a slightly sadistic smile, I think that was the most I had ever spoken to that bitch.
A pounding headache was stopping me from even coming close to thinking. I slammed my front door shut and stormed upstairs. I threw my bedroom door open violently, flicking on the lights, only to freeze when I saw someone sitting on my desk.
NPOV
"Hello Itachi" I greeted him shortly as he opened the door. I had come over after a quick change of clothes at my house. I was now in my usual t-shirt and jeans but I had left my hair down.
He gave me an odd look, and didn't even attack me. "He's not home yet, you can wait upstairs." he said seriously.
I gave him a curt nod and walked past him toward the stairs. I left the light off as I closed the door and went to sit on his desk. I opened the curtain on his window and gazed up at the moon that shined through the window. His smell was calming as it surrounded me. I loved sitting in his bedroom. It was completely comfortable and familiar.
It didn't take long for a door to slam shut downstairs. I cringed at the loud song. He was mad about something. Footsteps slammed on the stairs before the door to he bedroom was thrown open and the lights were switched on. I blinked, slightly blinded by the light before taking in Sasuke's furious appearance as he went from looking pissed to surprised.
"Hello Sasuke." I said giving him a slightly angry smile, crossing my arms over my chest as I stayed lounged on his desk. Somehow all my anger dissipated as I took in his appearance I fell into the familiar comfort of being around him.
"So," I broke the silence once again, "how've you been?" I asked casually.
"Why are you..." his question trailed off as he continued to stare at me with a shocked expression.
I shrugged, slightly amused by the completely un Uchiha look on his face. "You've been acting funny lately so i took it upon myself to see what was wrong inside that bastard brain of yours personally." I gave him a grin.
I saw a small smirk pull at his mouth. Suddenly an idea popped in my head, an arrangement I had made years ago. "So, your heard me sing, do I get to see your sketchbook now?" I watched as Sasuke hesitated seeming to compile something in his head before resolutely walking forward and grabbing his sketchbook and shoving it into my hands. I took it as he sat on his bed and began examining the floor.
I opened the first page and gasped, he had gotten good. A detailed sketch of a raven and a fox playing together in the woods was etched into the page. The entire scene was so amazing an familiar somehow that I couldn't help but to simply stare at it. After a few minutes i turned the page and gasped.
This one was a sketch of me. The angle was obviously the view from his window. It showed me dancing with my guitar, my hair down and swirling around my head as I spun.
I turned the next page to find a picture of the pep band, the faces slightly blurred, only mine in the center of the drum line was clear.
I flipped through five more pages, they were all of me. I turned to look up at Sasuke who was still in the process of examining the floor. I reached beside me and grabbed what I had brought over here as an after thought. I stood up and walked quickly over to Sasuke, leaving the sketchpad on the desk. I shoved the beaten up orange notebook under his nose before retreating once again to perch on the desk with his sketch pad. I began flipping through the pages once again. Not all were of me, but the ones that weren't were places we had gone together, but something I noticed , in all the pictures of me, Sasuke never drew any part of himself. The only other kind of pictures drawn in there were sketches of the fox and raven, and they were always drawn together.
The antics of the pair in every sketch as they played together or ran together(well the fox ran while the raven flew next to it) made me smile. The raven always had it's beak slightly in the air while the fox was always grinning with a playful twinkle in its eyes.
I stopped on one of the pictures of the two. I immediately deemed it as my favorite. The fox was curled in a small ball, its head resting on its tail. A peaceful expression on its face. The raven watched over the fox as it slept, with the softest eyes than in any of the sketches thus far. The entire scene made me feel completely peaceful and I felt my expression soften even as I gazed at it. It took some mental determination to flip the page to a new sketch and not just stare at the sleeping fox and watchful raven.
The last picture was of me once again, only this one was in our park. I looked younger than I had in any of the previous sketches in the book, but I knew he had had this one for less than a year(he went through sketchbooks quickly). I sat on a swing, looking peacefully at the person who had drawn this scene. I recognized the scene as the day we had found the park, but something was different about this drawing. I bit my lip as I tried to figure out what it was, then I noticed it. At the bottom of the picture, my hand was entwined with the hand of the person who had been sitting next to me. It was such a small thing but I felt happiness bubbling in my chest from it.
I closed the book and looked up just in time to see Sasuke doing the same. We held each others eyes for a long moment. An unspoken conversation passing between us, and we silently agreed on something.
The confident smirk I loved suddenly appeared on Sasuke's face, his eyes unusually mischievous. "You know, Dobe, you belong with me"
I stared at him in shock for a few seconds, but then I couldn't take it any more. I bent over in laughter. That phrase was so cheesy, I couldn't help but laughing after him saying THAT with such a mock serious face. I looked up at Sasuke, he had the soft smile on his face I hadn't seen in weeks. I suppressed my laughter to meet his gaze, "And you, Teme, belong with me." I said through some still present giggles.
He stood and walked toward me and my laughter died as I smiled at him He pressed a hand gently against my cheek. I felt a blush spreading across my face at his touch. He leaned forward and...The door burst open!
Suddenly I was wrapped in the elder Uchiha's arms as he spun me whooping. Jiraiya stood cheering in the doorway as Kakashi gave us a single thumbs up beside him.
I heard more cheers as Itachi put me down and turned to look out the window to find Kiba, Shikamaru, and Gaara watching from my window(only Kiba was cheering of course, but he's loud enough to make up for the other two any day). I laughed as I turned back to gaze at Sasuke who was busy glaring at anyone who had dared to interrupt our "moment" but it held little bite to it. He caught my gaze and his glare was almost instantly replaced by the soft smile. I laughed as I was once again roughly hugged by a happy Itachi
Sasuke rolled his eyes at me but his smile stayed, "Dobe." he mouthed.
"Love ya two teme" I mouthed back.
