Just The Way You Are Chapter 25: Walk Away, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 25

Walk Away

It was day away from their performing day and the gang was feeling more stressful than anything.

Sai and Choji had went to get lunch while Ino had decide to keep practicing with the rest.

"You guys know Goodbye Love?" Ino asked.

"From Rent?" Hinata and Sakura asked at the same time.

"Yes" Ino smiled. "We're doing the one, it's the perfect way to practice the entries" Ino explained. "I'll be Joana. Hinata you'll be Mimi. Sakura you'll be Maurene. Naruto you'll be Roger. Shikamaru you'll Mark. Kiba you'll be Benny and Sasuke you'll be Tom"

They all nodded as Ino went and set up the music.

Hinata: It's true you sold your guitar,
and bought a car?

Hinata and Naruto shared a painful look but both ignored it.

Naruto: It's true, I'm leaving now for Santa Fe
It's true your with this yuppie scum?

Kiba: You said you'de never speak to him again.

Hinata: Not now...

Sakura: Who said that you have any say in

who she says things to at all!

Ino: Who said that you should stick your nose in other people…

Sakura: Who said I was talking to you!

Ino: We used to have this fight each night! (Mark:Calm down!)
She never admit I exisited!

(Shikamaru: Everyone please!)

Hinata: He was the same way.
He was always run away, hit the road,
don't commit, you're full of shit!

Hinata was now full of rage and turned directly towards Naruto whilst he did the same.

(Kiba: Mimi!)

Ino: She's in denial!

Hinata: He's in denial!

(Shikamaru: You guys!)

Ino: Didn't give an inch
but I gave a mile!

(Shikamaru: Come on!)

Hinata: I gave a mile!

Naruto: Gave a mile to who?

Shikamaru and Kiba: Come on guys chill!

Ino and Hinata: I'de be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had
someone to live for, unafraid to say I love you!

Suddenly Hinata felt like she couldn't breathe, she could feel the tear coming but she held in, she was not going allow Naruto to see that she was suffering, not for him.

Naruto: Ohh, your words are nice Mimi,
but love not's a three way street
you'll never share in love until you love yourself!
I should know.

Sasuke: You all said you'de be cool today.
So please for my sake.
I can't believe he's gone,
I can't believe you're going,
I can't believe this family must die.
Angel helped us to believe in love
I can't believe you disagree...

All: I can't believe this is goodbye...

Hinata couldn't take anymore. As soon as the song ended she stormed away, ignoring her friends calling her name.

"I think you over did it" Sakura whispered making Ino frown.

"It's the pressure and stuff. I think we need some time to take a breather" Ino suggested.

Naruto didn't need to be told twice, without a word he left as well.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow" Sakura waved at Shikamaru, Kiba and Ino as she followed her boyfriend who was already walking away with their bags.

"I'll stay here some more" Kiba said as he watch the couple pick up their stuff.

"Ok. See you tomorrow Kiba" Ino grinned and walked away, hand in hand with Shikamaru.

Kiba walked over the sound system and plugged in his I-pod. A slow melody started to play as he walked over to the microphone. Kiba close his eyes and let the lyrics come to him.

Kiba: (Whispered) Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I just want to hold you

Kiba smiled softly to himself and sat on the floor, taking the microphone with him.

I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero

In the other side of the school. Sasuke and Sakura walked side by side, neither looking at each other, just walking. With the corner of the eye Sasuke glanced at Sakura. He could see that she was trying to hide the sadness inside her, but she was never good when it came to hiding her own feelings.

He knew that part of her sadness was because she hated to see Naruto and Hinata fighting but the other part was his own fault.

The night before he decided to tell her his little secret. He already had a university… far away from that town. Far away from Sakura. He told her he would still be with her even if it was from away and even though she said she was ok, he could tell in her voice that she didn't mean it.

He could only think of one thing, the only thing he had learn to do during his last years.

"Ohhh ohhhh ohhhhh" Sasuke started singing loudly making Sakura jump with surprise. Suddenly Sasuke stepped in front of her and smiled softly.

Sasuke: What time is it where you are?

Sakura smiled back whilst she giggled.

Sakura: I miss you more than anything

Sasuke: Back at home you feel so far

Sakura: Waitin' for the phone to ring

Sasuke: It's gettin' lonely livin' upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

Sasuke grabbed her arm and pulled her close making her squeal softly.

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
It's drivin me mad
I miss you so bad
and my heart heart heart is so jetlagged

Sakura: What time is it where you are?

Sasuke: 5 more days and I'll be home

Sakura: I keep your picture in my car

Sasuke: I hate the thought of you alone

Sakura: I've been keepin' busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind

Both: Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

Sasuke pulled in as he started running.

Sasuke: You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart heart is so Jetlagged
Heart heart heart is so Jetlagged
Heart heart heart is so Jetlagged

Sasuke stopped in a old oak tree, near the school where he held Sakura in his arms while caressing her cheek softly.

I miss you so bad

Sakura: I miss you so bad

Sasuke: I miss you so bad

Sakura: I miss you so bad

Sasuke: I miss you so bad

Sakura: I wanna share your horizon

Sasuke: I miss you so bad

Sakura: and see the same sunrising
I miss you so bad

Both: Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss when you say good morning
But it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart heart heart is so Jetlagged
Heart heart heart is so Jetlagged
Heart heart heart is so Jetlagged
Is so Jetlagged

" Is so Jetlagged" Sasuke ended the song and kissed Sakura. Never in his life did he thought he would feel this way.

In the other side of school, Ino and Shikamaru sat by the lunch tables facing each other while Ino played around with some music sheets.

"You are sure getting really into this" Shikamaru yawn lightly.

"I want this to be perfect" Ino said, not bothering to even look at him.

"Maybe you should take your own advice" Shikamaru said. "Take a break"

"I can't. There is so much to do… and those two are still hurting themselves like that" Ino frowned. Suddenly she felt something in her hand. Her blue eyes left the papers to find Shikamaru's hand on hers. Even their skin color was different. They were different, but just as that small touch, he made he feel everything that she dream of feeling.

"Come here" He said. He pulled her off her seat and sat her in his lap.

"But there is so much to do" She said.

"Shhh" Shikamaru said as he kissed her neck. Ino smiled softly letting all the worries fly away, at least from awhile, right now she was lost in Shikamaru's soft hot breath on her neck.

Shikamaru: When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong
I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find
deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall(let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all(though it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]

"Your turn" Shikamaru teased making her giggled. Ino turned around, placing each leg in his side and smiled softly.

Ino: My hands are searching for you

My arms are outstretched towards you

I feel you on my fingertips

My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire rising through my being

Burning, I'm not used to seeing you

I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me

And you whisper you love me

And I begin to fade

Into our secret place
The music makes me sway

The angels singing say we are alone with you

I am alone and they are too with you

I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing
And so I cryThe light is white

And I see you
I'm alive

I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

Take my hand, I give it to you

Now you owe me, all I am

You said you would never leave me

I believe you, I believe
I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healed

Ino smiled softly as she ended.

"Flyleaf?" Shikamaru chuckled. "Have you turn rocker on me now?"

"Maybe" Ino giggled before crashing her lips with his.

And forgotten were the music sheet.

Under the bleachers sat Naruto, who was trying to slap away the memories of Hinata tears as she walked away. He wanted to forget her, he wanted himself to hate her but he couldn't. There he was worrying about her, wanting to look for her and hug her when he knew it was wrong.

"Pathetic" He growled.

Naruto: I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

Naruto sigh once again grabbed her bag and walked away, he was tired of feeling this way.

At the Hyuga House, Hinata sat in her backyard staring at the light blue sky. She knew she had seen her cry. She knew she was hurting inside but what could she do. He had broken her.

She loved him way before he knew she even existed. "Don't think like that Hinata" She whispered to herself once she felt her tear wanting to fall once again.

Hinata: I guess I should've known better,
to believe I'm a lucky chain, Oh.
I lent my heart out forever,
and finally learned each other's names.

I tell myself, "this time it's different."
No goodbyes, cause eyes can't bear to say it.
"I'll never survive on one that's coming",
If I stay, Ooh!

Just Walk Away! Ooh, and don't look back.
Cause if my heart breaks, It's gonna hurt so bad.
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that.
Before It's too late. Oh, just Walk Away!
(Walk, Walk, Walk Away) Ooh, just Walk Away!
(Walk, Walk, Walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah.

I really wish I could blame you, but I know
That it's no one's fault. No, No. No, No
Cinderella with no shoe, and
the prince that doesn't know he's lost.
He says that her face is so familiar, and
Goodbye with just the same old song.
But this time I will not surrender!
'Cause I'm gone, Ooh, yeah!

Ooh, I've got to let it go.
Start protecting my heart and soul.
Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again.
Not again!

Just Walk Away! Ooh, and don't look back.
Cause if my heart breaks, It's gonna hurt so bad.
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that.
Before It's too late. (Before It's Too Late!)
Oh, just Walk Away!
(Walk, Walk, Walk Away) Walk Away, Walk Away, yeah!
(Walk, Walk, Walk Away!) Walk Away, Walk Away, All right!
(Walk Away, Walk Away, Yeah, Walk Away!) Walk Away, Walk Away.
(Oh, Walk, Walk, Walk Away!) Walk Away, Walk Away, Ooh..
Ooh..

Hinata wrapped her arms around her legs and buried her face between her knees and began to cry.

Only time would tell…

Only music comforted her…

Only air was with her…

She had to walk away…
