Loveless yet again

Loveless yet again.

In the studio sat two angry teens, one frustrated teacher, and a worn out Sai. Sai knew this would happen sooner then later but he just feared when it would happen sooner.

"I won't." hissed Sakura

"No way in hell." Glared Sasuke at the instructor

"Come on guy it would be perfect!" groan Anko

"No!" they said at the same time.

"Sensei give it up they won't do it." Sighed out Sai as he looked at the two teens that where sitting as faraway from each other.

"But it will be so cute!!" she whined which seem unlike her.

"NO!" both of them said louder. That got Anko to back off on the idea. Sai mutter under his breath how this was all too much of drag. The ice cube and the angry sugar plum. Was this really the leaders of such a nice play? At first glance you wouldn't think so. What where they fighting about today? Well……

:Flashback:

"You two will have to kiss in the end to make it more magical!" Said Anko as Sasuke spit out the water he was drinking as Sakura started to twitch and Sai well he ran( more like crawled) to shelter. A bomb was about to go off.

:End of flashback:

And that's how they ended up across the room from each other with an angry tick mark on their foreheads. It seem more often then not that they where fighting. It was something Sai was going use to as he looked at Sakura then over to Sasuke. Yet among all that fighting Sai had figured something out that none of them seem to notice. Something that he only knew and could use to his advantage or his demise either one.

"Okay fine take it from the top." Sighed out Anko as the day went by with out any other delays. Sai just counted the seconds till he could escape to the comfort of him home with out having Sakura yell at him non stop. Yet his wishes where cut short when the day dragged on longer as the partners went on in an all out I hate you war. Yet it didn't last long since Anko gave up and told them to go change.

Sasuke storm out first wanting to get away from them as fast as possible as Sakura took her sweet time getting her things together and growling at anything that came past her.

"Stupid piece of…." She muttered once in a while as Sai looked at her.

"Your acting a little wired Ugly is something wrong?" he asked as she looked over to him with a glare. He would take that a hell yes something wrong sort of look.

"Nothings wrong!"

"You like the Uchiha Kid huh?" He asked as she was putting her thing away.

"Ye…NO!" She yelled catching herself. Yet Sai knew better she had that weakness for that type of guy.

"Right…" he muttered

"NO! NO! NO! I don't like that arrogant low life even if he was the last guy on earth!' She yelled "Beside I like some one else…" she muttered defiantly.

"Would this be the guy that gave you that mark on your neck by any chance?" he asked with a smirk as she punched him.(hard)

"NO!" she yelled at him as she turned to a human tomato. With that yelled out of the way she went out of the room and stomped over to the crappy dressing rooms. Angrily she throws her bag to the ground and started to undress. Mutter profanities under breath as she took off her tights. She was only in her under garments when the tie that the stranger used for a blind ford fell out of her bag. She picked it up with her hand and looked at it. It had been a while since she'd been visited by that guy. It had been a two weeks really but his kisses still burned her lips at night when she remember them. The play would be tomorrow night and it would be the last time she would have to put up with Sasuke's childish ways, but at the same time she gotten use to the constant fighting with him it would feel strange not to do it anymore.

The boy as she and Sai came to call him was attractive. And he fit all the qualities she looked for in a man yet she wasn't sure why she didn't try to get any closer to him. She loved how his skin felt when it brushed her when they dance. How she could hear his heart beat in his chest when they were close enough. Everything about him was enchanting. And then there was the stranger the one that visited her only when ever he felt like it. That was so demanding at times that it drove her up the wall. The way his kisses still made her rethink her sanity for ever liking someone that she has never seen. That she only hears when he whispers in that husky voice of his. When he calls her hime though she herself doesn't believe she a princess.

Two different man yet one of them had a more powerful affect on her then other. Not that Sasuke was much of a choice though since he did his own thing and ignored Sakura completely. She would have been better off with a guy like Sai he was reliable unlike the man she seem to chose for herself yet Sai was like her brother and it would seem to wrong. She brought the tie up to her chest and sighed out deeply. She throws it down to her stuff knowing that everything going though her head was utterly stupid. How can she like a person she's never seen before? How can she even hold feelings for some one that comes around kisses the brains out of her when ever he felt like it? He was a pervert and she was giving him easy time.

"No more if I ever meet the guy again I will kick him in the balls lets see if he calls me hime after that!" she said with determination in her voice. Changing quickly she walked out of the dressing room. Thinking of nothing but going home for a nice long bath she walked over to the dance room. She got in only to find that no one was around.

"Sai?" she called out but no answer. The room was completely empty as she looked around. The lights went off as she was left in utter darkness. She gave a yep as she grabbed her clothing closer to her. "Who's there?"

"Why are you so annoying?" came a voice from behind her as she turned around to find a figure silhouetted in the darkness. His face was covered by the shadows as he leaned there.

"Who are you?" she asked with fear in her very voice. The figure of the man moved slightly as she grabbed on to her bag tightly. She was now wishing she had bought pepper spray when her friends suggested it. Yet she being the proud Sakura thought that she would never ever get into trouble that she couldn't fight her way out of. That was the wrong idea, a very wrong Idea. Her heart was betting in her head as she back up a bit.

"Where are you going?" he asked in sharp tone that made her skin craw. Backing away more quickly she wanted to get to the door when the figure moved. She stopped as she could no longer find him among the shadows. Fear raced at her to go towards the doors but a strong slam stopped her short on her tracks. "I'm not done with you yet hime." He hissed as that was enough for Sakura's legs to turn to jelly. Not only was he fast he was cunning. She was in deep dodo now. She grabbed on to her bag tightly ready to use it as a weapon if she had to.

"Stay back! I'm warning you I won't hold back!" she yelled at him. He chuckled in the darkness as it was like a mocking melody to Sakura's ears.

"Oh, please don't Hime." He told her as she looked around again to find him but he was no longer in place he was before. "It won't be as much fun if you did hold back." He whispers in her ears as she squeaked. He chuckles again as she could feel his breath on her neck. "What you're not going to face me Hime?" he asked as Sakura's muscles felt dead and useless on her.

"Leave me alone." She managed to say strongly enough to sound convincing. Yet that very sentence took all off her will power alone to utter.

"You want me to leave you Hime?" he whispers in her ear as she could feel his arms slow slip around her waist. "Are you sure?" he asks as Sakura takes a deep inhale. She had to be strong she had to fight ageist his hold on her. "I have to confess something Hime." He whispers in her ear as she could feel his lips on her earlobe. "Do you want to hear about it?" If the shivers running down her spine where any indication she wanted to know she would be shouting yes. Yet her will power told her not to fall for his tricks.

"Leave please." She whispers again yet strong enough to get him to stop.

"Your addicting." He tells her as her heart seems to stop for a second or two. "Know this though Hime you will come to me." He told her as he got away from her just as he did she turned around to face him yet he was no longer there. The door was open again as the light flooded though the darkness. Sakura held her hand to her chest as she slowly smiled.

"I did it." She told herself. She walked over towards the door and walked out. Sai was on the bench outside asleep. She ran over to him and jerked him wake. " I did it! I did it!" she kept yelling at him as he looked lost at her yelling.

"You managed to get dress on your own big deal." He said as he she wasn't listening. " Though you did take forever."

" I did it! I did it!" she said as she dance around in circle as Sai got on his crunches.

"Yea, yea come on! You have show tomorrow and you needed you rest remember?"

"Oh right!" she said as she walked over to the front doors and opened it.

"Your so simple minded." Muttered Sai as he walked out behind her.

!!NEXT DAY!!

"Oh man look at that crowed!" said one of the tech guys as they got the stage ready.

"Don't get over exited that crowed can boo us off stage anytime they want remember." Said Sakura to them as they all felt hopeless for a second. "Yet that doesn't mean where going to let them! Come on team lets put on a show!"

"Yeah!" yelled most the people back stage as they went back to work on the double.

"Your evil you show them a juicy bone the smack them on the head with it before you give it back to them." Muttered Sai as Sakura smiled

"That's show biz for you." She told him with a smile

"Speaking of show biz are you ready miss number one dancer in all of Tokyo?" he asked her she smiled.

"Of course I'm ready." She told him with a hand on her hip.

"That's great and all but where's the lead man?" He asked as he looked around to find Sasuke but he was nowhere in sight.

"Huh?!" said Sakura she looked around she hadn't really thought of where Sasuke was hiding but now that Sai mentioned it. "Where the hell is Uchiha!" yelled Sakura as the frantic search for Sasuke began. It was 20 mins. till the beginning of the play and everyone and everything looked for the missing Uchiha.

"Where is he?!" asked some random wiredo

"Sasuke!"

"SASUKE!"

"Sasuke darling come out!" yelled one of the manliest looking tech there. Everyone stop and looked at him. "What?!" he asked in a gruffly voice.

"Uchiha!" yelled Sakura as they all went back to looking.

" 5 minutes!"

"Sasuke!!"

"Sasuke!"

"Ice cube you better get out here now!" yelled Sakura

"Sasuke!" more frantic searching.

"2 MINUTES !"

" Sasuke!" more yelling people in there seats started to wonder who this Sasuke guy was.

"It's a way to say good luck in theater talk." Said a older man as the younger ones only nodded there heads in understanding. Back stage the mayhem got worse.

"30 seconds!" yelled the man franticly.

"Sasuke Uchiha you better not do this to me!" yelled Sakura as she ran off to her place.

"Going on in 5…4….3…" the man put up two fingers then put down one till there was none. The music started and the curtains opened, yet Sasuke was nowhere to be found. He was not up yet but his cue would come soon and he was nowhere in sight. Biting back bitter tears Sakura told her self the show must go on. She prayed to any god that would hear her that he would appear. The dancers on stage where doing there part but it could only be temporary the time they spent there.

"He will show he has to show." Sakura told herself yet her body told her something else. She looked around franticly she looked at the wings then she looked at the crowed. A weight on her heart fell as she looked at them. He wasn't going to come. The dancers went to sides on cue as they waited for him. Sakura closed her eyes as she waited for the crowed to start with the mutterings and booing. The seconds seem long as she waited for the reaction. Like the grains in an hour glass time seem to slow.

"wow…" came the mutters of the crowed as Sakura refused to open her eyes and face their hatred.

"Away with you fowl beast." come that silk like voice that she knew so well. Her heart skipped a beat as she tired not sequel with relief. He came and she couldn't be more happy. Her cue was up and she got into her dance trance. Sasuke joined her in the dance as they looked outstandingly graceful.

"Your late." Whisper Sakura to him as they dance.

"Naruto." He muttered as it came together in Sakura's head. Of course he would be late if Naruto gave him a ride there. She spins with the grace of any as Sasuke dances with her. The whole play seems to be a great hit while Sakura danced her heart out. The crowed where all hushed and looking intently at the couple as they dance though out the play. The sword fights the parties everything came out just like it should. Now came the part where they found out the Nutcracker was really a prince. The crowed held there breaths as they looked at Sakura spin perfectly in front of them as the Nutcracker slowly became human. Sasuke removed the mask he was wearing the music came to a climax. Sakura stayed in place as the room was filled with gasp. Slowly she turned around to find her partner when she seems to lose her own breath.

There before he stood someone she always wanted to know. There before he stood her prince. His blue black hair slightly in front of his eyes as the sliver earring on his left ear shined in the bright light. Around his neck as a silver necklace with a round pendent with the Uchiha clan symbol on it. She was so lost in her thoughts that she stopped dancing and looked at him. He gave a small smirk as he bowed and came closer to her. She stood rooted to the spot as she looked at him.

"Why so shock hime?" he asked her as he took his arms around and started the next dance.

"All this time…" she whispered to herself as she looked at him.

"I always get what I want." He told her with a smirk as she blushed pink. He lifted her into the air as he brought her down into a bow. " yet your different." He told her as he held her on the bow. " I want you to want me." He told her as looked at his ebony eyes he was sincere about it he wasn't playing around this time. The curtains where about to close when Sakura brought up her head and kissed him softly. The crowed went wild as the curtains closed as the pair continued to kiss.

"Well this is a turn of events." Muttered Sai as they both looked over to him. Sasuke looked embarrassed as Sakura looked like she would faint any minute. " Took you long enough to figure it out ugly." He said with a smirk as Sasuke and Sakura got out of their bow and stood up right.

"You're trying to tell me you know all along?"

"Yep."

"And you didn't tell me?!" she asked fuming as Sasuke stepped back and Sai didn't bother to move.

"You didn't ask." He told her

"Eh?"

"And how did you finger it out?" asked Sasuke

"Well let's recap shall we?" Said Sai as Sakura looked at him like he was crazy.

"The first time Sakura meet the stranger you where the first one gone yet Itachi can in looking for you. Then you come back shortly before Sakura comes yelling her brains out that she's going to murder Itachi. The second time was at the party where I notice that Sasuke leaves the table where he and Naruto where drinking at. I asked Ino where Sakura went only to find out that she went outside not so long ago. I'm not to say shocked when I hear that Sasuke went out the same direction you did. When he came back in he was missing his tie which you where holding when you came back. Are you seeing the pattern now? He always was gone when you meet the stranger. I thought you could put two and two together at lest Sakura." Sai sighed out as They both looked red in the face.

"Well who would have thought that teme could really be manly?" asked Naruto as he heard the whole story. Oh lord that was bad.

"Naruto if you want to live you will shut up now." Muttered Sasuke as he looked deadly.

"Well I mean when he went to France to study Ballet I thought he was gay for sure."

"What?! You're a dancer?" asked Sakura as Sasuke looked away with a red hue on his face.

"Naruto you're so dead." He hissed as Naruto gulped.

"That would explain a lot." Muttered Sai

"It didn't work out so I didn't say anything." He hissed

"So you studied in France?" He didn't answer as Sakura looked at him like he was the most amazing thing the world. "Does Itachi know?" she asked as he picked up his head

"Speaking of Itachi, He's pissed off you kissed his Hime teme he's coming over to kick your ass in public." Said Naruto as he took ear wax out of his ear.

"You tell us this now?!" hissed Sasuke as he grabbed the dobe by the neck.

"SASUKE!" came Itachi's roars.

"Great." Muttered Sasuke as the crowed out side Yelled Sasuke's Name along with him.

"Okay what was that?" asked Sai as the crowed was yelling Sasuke's name

" I guess where about to find out." said Sasuke as Itachi came over looking like he had escaped out of hell and was ready to kill anyone that got in his way.

"You little brat." He hissed as he looked at Sasuke.

"Ironic that's the nicest thing you ever said to me." Muttered Sasuke as Itachi went at him.

"Stop it!" yelled Sakura as Itachi stopped in his murders rampage. "Just what do you think your doing?" asked Itachi as he looked at her then over to his brother.

"Making the family less crowed." He hissed as he looked at Sasuke.

"You will not harm a hair on his head Itachi or I swear I will do worse then last time!" she yelled as Itachi winced slightly.

"Last time?" asked all three but Itachi.

"He kissed you!" he hissed

"I kissed him! And wasn't the first time either!" she yelled at him.

"You kissed her more then once you brat?" asked Itachi as Sasuke shrugged.

"Itachi one more outburst and you won't be able to have children with any women ever." She hissed as she cracked her knuckles.

"Wow you sure know how to pick eh teme." Whispered Naruto as Sakura sent him a death glare. Sasuke walked over to Sakura and picked her up off the floor. She squeaked in his arms as red hue appeared on her face.

"Okay here's the deal. She's my girlfriend and mine only. You will not interfere what so ever or your collect of hello kitty dolls goes up in flames got that?" asked Sasuke as Itachi paled.

"You wouldn't."

"Try me." He challenged as Itachi back down.

"Fine." He muttered

"Since when am I your girlfriend huh bub?" she asked as she poked his chest.

"Since now." He told her as he quickly took her lips by surprise as she gave up going ageist him.

"Oh get a room!" yelled Naruto as the Nutcracker's mask hit him on the face, yet they didn't break the kiss. And so it came to pass that as meeting by chance sparked ever lasting romance between two different people. Who never knew that the other existed. As the last snow flaks fall on the ground that winter mouth two lovers find spring in the mists of the cold winter. And all because of small amount chance.

DOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Okay so it wasn't how I planned to end it originally but I like this one too. Okay I watched the nutcracker after I finished this and my small size brain figured out that Never once does the actors/dancers talk in the play. Which I totally twisted so that Sasuke could come in. which in the mist of my wonderings I also found out that there are like trillions of different versions of the play it's self. In one of the versions that I saw the sugar plum fairy is Clarea from the ballet so I twisted to that effect. Now that I watch the performance on the infamous Youtube I come to find out that they are different characters. Sigh so I put my own twist to the fairy tale yet they end the same way or so I think? Review if you liked it or Review if you didn't.
