I'm Trying

"Did you hear? Sasuke-kun' s back! He just came back 2 weeks ago!" a woman exclaimed, clearly one of his fan girls.

It has been 6 years since Sasuke had left the village. He came back at age 18, greeted by all of his friends, and Sai.

Sakura also greeted him. She had also greeted a baby blue woman whom was his girlfriend.

Flashback

Sakura was waited along with the rest of the village by the main gates of the village, waiting for Sasuke.

Finally, the door opened to reveal a gorgeous man… with his arm draped around a woman. Sakura' s lips parted slightly as she saw the beautiful woman next to Sasuke. Sasuke was gorgeous.

He had grown his hair longer, but had still kept his hair spiked up. He was wearing a black muscle shirt that showed off his god-like figure.

The woman next to him was beautiful. She had her baby blue hair just below her waist, which was beautiful and silky. She also had rosy pink lips that were full and smooth, along with silver breathtaking eyes.

Sakura fought back her tears. She felt like she couldn't speak anymore. She then saw him walk up to her with the woman. "Sakura… this is my girlfriend Nyumi." He said to her. Sakura smiled her fake smile.

"Hello." She said and held out her hand. The woman looked at her as if she was being offered a rat. She then smiled awkwardly. Sakura just let her hand drop and she smiled at them happily. "Well… see ya." Said the woman and walked off to greet the rest of the people.

Sakura then walked off to her home. Once she reached it, she couldn't fight back her tears. She stayed there the rest of the day and cried herself to sleep.

End of Flashback

Sakura had stayed in her room for three days, not going to work and not seeing her friends.

She stayed there and cried. She didn't comb her short jaw-length hair that was messy. She stayed there cross-legged on her bed waiting for the days to pass by.

After those three days, she decided to try to get over it. She fixed herself and was going to visit Sasuke.

Flashback

Sakura walked to the Uchiha mansion and knocked on the door for a while, no answers. Sakura then tried to walk around the house to search for him.

She really wanted to talk to him. She then heard noises coming from his room. Sakura then looked through his window. Sakura gasped at what she saw. There, Sasuke was with Nyumi under the covers pounding into her as she was moaning loudly.

Sakura ran away from them and went back to her home and cried for him once again.

End of Flashback

She was tired, so tired of crying for him. Tired of crying every time she saw them kissing. She was tired of loving him.

She was tired of envying Nyumi for being so beautiful. She was tired. So tired of seeing all of her friends happy.

She had even saw them mixing around for the fun of it. Naruto made out with Ino, Sasuke made out with Hinata, Nyumi made out with random guys. She was just so tired of everything happening in such a way.

She never said anything about what they did. The girls had even dumped the guys for other gorgeous guys in the village, but decided to get back with them.

She was so tired of everything passing by her like if she was just another wall.So tired of everything passing by, leaving her behind.

OOOOO

3 years later

Sakura walked through the streets happily. A year ago, she had gotten over her broken heart. She didn't go out with anyone though.

She was happy with it that way. Every time she saw her former love with his girlfriend, she just smiled, like she did with every couple. She just smile and sometimes she giggled. She was now used to not being noticed when they went on missions, or when she went to her friends' sleepovers.

She just smiled and left them alone. She did not even notice, but over the three years, she had grown very beautiful. She had grown her hair just below her bottom and it shined and was very silky with cherry red lips full and smooth.

She had grown a very beautiful figure as well. She had grown big breasts that suited her very well and she had sexy hips as well. She had also grown side-swept bangs. She had grown out of her big forehead and her eyes got lighter. She was happy being single; she made a living being single the past few years.

She was happy not being noticed by her friends because that's how she lived the past three years. She lived that way, and she was used to it. She hid herself by trying to be happy.

OOOOO

"We're going where?!" Naruto asked excitedly. "We are going on a vacation. Tsunade said that we can be away for one month." Kakashi said.

"I am so going!!" Naruto shouted excitedly. Sakura giggled at his expression. Sasuke couldn't help but steal a glance at her.

"We leave in an hour so make sure you pack up your stuff and meet here because we are going by train. Oh yeah, and all of Rookie Nine with go along with Gai' s team and Gaara' s squad." Kakashi said and walked off.

"This is going to be so much fun! Isn't it Sasuke-kun?" asked Nyumi. "Hn." Sasuke replied. Sakura giggled again. Nyumi growled at her. Sasuke took a quick glance at her.

"Well?! C'mon people! Let's go! We have to meet back here in one hour!" Naruto said and dashed towards his house. Sakura walked over to her own home. Sasuke sighed and walked with an annoying Nyumi trailing behind him… talking… and talking… and talking.

OOOOO

With Sakura

Sakura hummed to herself while she packed. As soon as she finished, the doorbell rang. Sakura walked out of her room with her backpack.

She then opened the door. She looked up to the jade eyes of none other than the Kazekage.

Sakura looked up at him, not even smiling. He continued to look down at her. As soon as she felt it getting even more awkward, she decided to break contact. "D-did Kakashi send you here to pick me up?" she asked him.

"No." he said. His cold voice made a shiver crawl up her spine. His voice was deep and scary, but at the same time, she liked it. "So are we leaving or are you missing anything?" he asked her. Sakura smiled at him and shook her head. She then locked the door behind her and walked off with Gaara

OOOOO

Back at the Bridge

Sasuke and Naruto waited for Sakura to get there. Oh yeah… and of course Nyumi was there. She was still talking.

Everyone was waiting for Kakashi. The guy was always late. What do you expect? You can't get the guy to go early even if his team was on the line. Sasuke then looked over at the other side of the bridge.

Sakura was already going to them. But, what pissed him off was the fact that Gaara was walking next to her.

He wasn't talking to her, yet he was stealing glances at her every once in a while. Sakura just looked over at him and smiled while putting her hand in his shoulder and he could tell that she was talking to him.

He was pissed off that she would even think to talk to him. After the time that he tried to kill her! She laughed at something he said, but he looked dead serious. Once they reached them Sakura greeted everyone with a warm smile while Gaara watched her.

She looked beautiful. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt that showed off her perfect figure along with big breasts along with black hip huggers.

"OK then shall we go?" asked Kakashi after he met up with them. "You are late Kakashi!" Ino shouted at him. "Never seemed to surpass that job." Kurenai said coldly. She was standing next to Asuma with his arm wrapped around her. Kakashi just looked at her lazily.

It had been 5 months since they had broken up. Kakashi had been going late to the dates that he had promised Kurenai he would take her to. She even waited for him in a festival until it ended… and he still didn't show up!! After that Asuma had been asking her out and she was accepting. He would always show up right on time and Kurenai had gotten tired of Kakashi' s habits. So, she broke up with him.

'It's like the bastard only wanted me for the sex.' Kurenai growled to herself. She then felt Asuma rub her arm up and down. She looked over at him and smiled. Sakura giggled at the scene. "So how have you been Cherry?" asked Asuma. He had gotten a habit on calling her Cherry, and it suited her fine.

She usually had gotten Blossom though. She smiled at him sweetly to answer his question. 'Cherry.' Sasuke thought to himself as he stared at her. Sakura noticed this and smiled at him kindly. Sasuke couldn't help but have a very light pink blush on his cheeks.

OOOOO

On the Train

Sakura looked out the window and sighed deeply as she looked at everything pass by so fast. Everyone sat next to who they wanted to sit. Gaara sat next to Sakura and Sasuke sat next to Nyumi.

Sakura kept her eyes on the window. Since Sasuke was across from them, he would look at her every once in a wile… okay… more than once in a while. Gaara then looked over to Sakura as she dozed off to her la-la land.

Gaara then placed his hand on her lap. Sasuke had noticed, he watched in disgust and anger. Sakura had also noticed this and looked up at him. Gaara loved the way she looked when she was confused about something, only he never showed that he did.

She just looked at his hand then back at him and smiled and looked away. Gaara continued to look at her as she dozed off again, while holding Gaara' s hand while it was on her lap.

Unlike everyone else, she did not know anything about the signs that someone gives you when they like you. Gaara, on the other hand, might have never had a woman, but he does know how to get one.

After a while of seeing Sakura as a friend when she heals him and invites him over to slumber parties, he had grown attached to her. She had also grown attached to him, just not the way he wanted.

He understood how she felt about him, but she never told him that he couldn't give it a try. After a while, Sakura fell asleep on the side of the window while it passed. Gaara nudged her a few times to see if she was awake, but she wasn't.

He then decided to put her in a comfortable position. So, he gently moved her head with his arm so that she would rest on his shoulder.

Nobody noticed except Sasuke. He was growling with fury. "Sasuke-kun did you even here a word I've said to you since we've been on this damn train?" Nyumi suddenly asked accusingly.

"Hn." Said Sasuke. Nyumi crossed her arms in fury and stayed quiet. Sasuke looked at Sakura again, she seemed quite at peace.

It was already dawn and they had already informed the group that they would arrive at the huge mansion in the morning.

The sun was completely down and the stars finally showed as the train passed by everything. Sakura slept soundly on Gaara' s shoulder as he continued to watch her. He had been doing that for the past hours.

Everyone else was asleep except Gaara… and Sasuke. Sasuke was still awake watching over Sakura. Sure, Gaara had said that he had changed and showed it to people, but that didn't mean that he was not capable of killing someone in their sleep.

But what Sasuke saw was not that he was trying to kill her. He leaned his head down over Sakura' s.

Sasuke's Sharingan activated once again, but not by accident. He watched Gaara very closely as he leaned closer into Sakura. He was just inches away from her face. He then closed the gap and planted a gentle first kiss on her lips.

He stayed like that for a while and slowly broke the kiss. Sasuke gave out a low growl. He then felt someone on his shoulder.

It was Nyumi. Sasuke growled once again and slowly and gently put Nyumi on the side of the window.

He looked over at Sakura again and noticed that Gaara was now stroking her hair gently. (This is Sasuke's inner self, and this is Sasuke by the way )

'Wow, who knew that Gaara had that kind of side. I always thought he was just a psychopath in his own world.'

'And who the fuck invited you?'

'I invited myself thank you very much.'

'Well get out you are so annoying.'

'Yeah, yeah I know what you are thinking don't forget that.'

'What the fuck are you talking about?'

'Look buddy we all know that you want her back but you should know by now that that's not gonna happen.'

'How do you know?'

'Dude, I'm in your head, I know all your thoughts, memories, hell even fantasies, and you should know by now that that is never gonna happen. You lost her already. What makes you think that after all the shit you put her through that you are gonna get her back? You lost her. She is no longer one of your options as a lover. Face it, she is way past over you.'

Sasuke did not answer. He was right. He had no right to keep her from what she wanted. But he didn't want to give up on her. Watching her with another really pissed him off. He knew that she was over him, but he didn't want to stop trying. He wasn't going to.
