Hey, everyone! Okay, so I decided to post this story up because, well, I have been longing to actually take time to type this and all. Before I go any farther, I would like to give my thanks to a few people. One, is for my sister, for actually helping me come up with this idea. Second one, is TragedyDrawl, because she helped me come up with the whole idea on how to start this story. Yeah, oh! And to all the reviewers that reviewed my other story called, Sweethearts : Story Of An Outcast. Alright, honestly, I hope you guys would take the time to review, I love long and meaningful reviews. I don't care if you're pointing out something that I had mistaken or just saying how you hate or love it. Any advice, that will help me stories improve is very respected. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the story! Wow, wasn't that a long author note?!

P.S: When the climax of the story is revealed, I will tell you why I wrote this story...and what inspired me.

Disclaimer: Let us get straight to the point. I do not own the show 'Naruto' or any of the characters. But the plot, is owned by me and my sister. Yeah! At least I own something right?! What do you own? I pair of shoes?! Haha! Kidding. Moving on.

There was once a female, with a pale skin tone. She had an odd natural hair color. It was pink hair that reached just below her shoulder. Her eyes were enchanting emerald orbs. The girl was jogging down her street to her house, with some spandex shorts, and a green active shirt. The girl's name was Haruno Sakura. Sakura's hair was up in a high ponytail, sweat running down her neck. Sakura was twenty and was in her second year of college She soon reached her door, only to find it wasn't locked.

The Haruno girl held her breath and entered her house, which was white on the outside with four windows, and a small balcony. The breath she held was suddenly released as she found a her raven-haired, onyx eyed, best friend. Who she, by the way, loved more then a mere friend. He was only a year older then her, but oddly, still in the same year in collage. Her best friend's name since high school was named Uchiha Sasuke. His plain white shirt with skinny jeans and some black and white checkered 'VANS' made him the most handsome man in the world.

"Sasuke, what the hell are you doing in my house?!" Sakura screeched. Sakura walked over to him, and gave him a light, friendly, hug. Even though she wanted it to become more.

"Is it wrong for someone to hang out with their best friend?"

"You could have called me!"

"I know you jog every Saturday morning, why the hell would I call if you leave it in your bedroom every Saturday morning? Plus, you did give me an extra key to your house. That's your fault. Now, go take a shower and go get dressed. We're going to go over to Ino's to hang out with everyone else." Sasuke informed as he walked over to the radio, and placed a CD in it. A Skylit Drive's song, 'A Reason For Broken Wings' came on, as Sakura quickly jogged up the stairs.

"SAKURA! Are you ready yet?! You're taking forever!" Sasuke complained as he flipped through the channels. It seems he got bored of listening to music. Soon, a response came from above the stairs.

"I'm done, I'm done. Keep your balls in your pants." Sakura came down dressed in dark skinny jeans, a white decorated shirt that went mid-thigh which had to be tied from behind. On her feet were some zebra print ballet flats. "Sasuke, be a sweetheart and tie the back of this shirt." Sakura turned around and he tied it with ease. Sakura now looked decent. Her hair was now down, and still a little wet from the shower she had took.

"Alright, you do have your car with you, right?" Sakura asked. Sasuke chuckled.

"No duh, Saki. What did you think I did? Jog here? Sorry, I'm not like you."

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"

He shook his head, "I can't believe your my best friend."

"Well, Believe it!" she said as she stuck out her pink tongue.

"Stop it! You sound like the idiot, Naruto."

"Don't call Naruto an idiot just because you are!"

"Sakura! I'm hurt!" he pretended to grip his heart and lean his head back on the headrest in his black Mercedes Benz. Sakura gave a giggle and ruffled his spiky raven hair, "Okay, enough. I need to focus on the road. Here, I'll turn on the music." His skilled pale hands turned on the radio and placed in a CD all while turning left. 'Smother Me' by The Used came on. Emerald eyes narrowed. This song was so...so.. meaningful.

"Um. Sasuke?"

"What happened?" he answered.

"C-can you change the song?"

"No, I love this song."

"B-but Sasuke!"

He then started to sing it, "Let me be the one who calls you baby, all the time. Surely you can take some comfort, knowing that you're mine." Sakura gripped her handle door next to her. Sakura shut her eyes. His voice was so beautiful, especially when he was singing that song. He never sings unless he's with her.

It hurt so much, because she knew. She knew that she would just be a best friend in his eyes.

She knew,

"Saki?"

She knew that, they would never,

"Sakura??"

Ever be together.

"What is it Sasuke?"

"You okay? You spaced out."

"Oh, its nothing! Nothing... nothing at all." Sakura whispered out. Sasuke had concern wash all over his face.

"You sure? If you want, I can change the song." He said, as his onyx orbs stared at her form. Sakura shook her head multiple times, "Sakura, you can tell me anything, you know that right?"

"O-of course! I know that! You're my best friend. You can tell me anything, anything at all."

He sighed, as if he was thinking about something, "Sakura, I have to tell you something."

"What? What is it?" she asked curiously.

"It's just um... I think I'm... Never mind. Forget about it." Sasuke said after about a good ten seconds of staring at her face. For some odd reason, Sakura got all giddy inside. Sakura smiled brightly at him and turned her head to her side, staring at the houses that passed by, "Sakura, look, I should warn you. Ino, Naruto and them, they planned a party. Just for the group, they'll make you drink alchol if you're not careful."

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself, Mr. Uchiha. Actually, I think I'm up for a little whisky."

"Fine I won't, Haruno. Just do not go overoard." he said teasingly back.

"Forehead-girl! How's it going?" her blonde friend named Ino said who was smiling brightly. Stepping aside to let the two best friends inside her small home. Inside, everyone was already there talking, eating, or just messing around. Hinata quickly came to greet her with Tenten, and Temari at her side.

"Hey Sakura." they all said to her giving her a light hug. Sakura grinned at them and asked how was their day so far. Of course the only answered with a 'fine' and the five then started about gossip what had happened the last day they were apart since they were all way to busy setting up their futures.

"Yesterday, I spent like a hour in the mall and when I was there I spotted this cute shirt..it had a cut right here," she then gripped her fingers together, as if she was going to slice a tomato in one hand, and then made a low-cut shape that was said to be the shirts design. "It was a light yellow with a bee in the corner, I wanted it so bad, but I spent it on this." Ino pointed at her short shorts that had hanging threads at the end of it. It was a light shade. Her top was a plaid red plaid shirt that had a few bits of white and black on it. Her hair, as usual, was up.

"Really? I found this old thing in my closet this morning." Tenten confessed. Her outfit was really different then her loud-mouth female friend. She wore skinny jeans that were grey. She wore a white tank top with a red and grey long sleeve cardigan over it. Her hair was in its ordinary buns.

"I borrowed my cousins." Temari said, as she wore black leggings, a mini skirt and a brown polka-dot shirt, "She forced me to wear this.." she added, her hair was in down, and it reached her shoulders.

"O-oh, I just picked this out when I h-heard that we were going to h-hang out." their shy friend, Hinata, wore a knee length summer dress that was white and had lavender flowers from below, and if you look a bit higher, it fades to white. Hinata also had on a white necklace around her neck.

"Anyway, back to my story!" Ino said, "Right when I was about to grab it, to you know, get a closer look at it. This old lady jumps in and snags it! At first I shrugged it off and then reached for another one..Guess what? There wasn't anymore! We started a ruckus and then got kicked out of the store... it was unfair, I wanted that shirt so bad..." the remaining girls laughed.

"No worries, Ino. Sure you can find a better shirt!" Temari comforted and then looked around the house. Sakura grinned mischievously and then decided to tease her friend.

"Whatcha looking at, hmm? Are you searching for...you know... Shikamaru Nara??" The girl who Sakura teased hand a bit of red on her cheeks and then the pink haired girl giggled loudly catching everyone's attention, who stared at her strangely. Sakura quickly looked at her friends, "Hey... everyone. How are you all doing this fine day..?" she asked.

They all knew there was something that she wasn't mentioning but five boys and the three girls just turned back to their conversation with the people near them. All were friends in the Yamanaka's household. So it wasn't a big deal. Shikamaru Nara, was a boy the same age as Temari, who was two years older, he was a genius. Temari has gotten very fond of the man. They met up with the whole group a few times and some times, it was just the two of them, but they weren't together, much to Temari's disappointment.

Might as well, tell you who everyone else is crushing on or dating. Let us start with Hinata. The most obvious one, she's deeply in love with the another blond loudmouth. His name is Naruto Uzamaki and he's completely sweet, kind, loving, oblivious, and annoying all at the same time. Everytime he comes about a foot near her, she starts madly blushing. Sakura only felt sorry that he didn't take notice. Unlike Temari, Hinata has never been alone with. If she was, it was only for about a short moment.

Ino was crushing on Sai, an artist who never names his work. When they first met, he called her beautiful, while he called Sakura Ugly or Hag. Letting it go, Sakura sense the spark between them whenever they would gaze into each others eyes. Ino has been on numerous dates with many guys but ever since Sai came into her life, she never went on dates unless it was him. Sai has jet black hair and coal black eyes, he doesn't really show his emotions and that's what pisses Ino off sometimes. How he would give her that fake smile...and how she would enjoy it.

Tenten, her brunette friend is dating a man that keeps his feelings to himself. His name was Hyuuga Neji, Hinata's cousin. Tenten is the only one who could have complete control over him. They have been dating for months now, and they have been content. Sakura knew that someday they would marry each other. Neji is quite, and easily annoyed. It is obvious that he will do anything in his power to protect Tenten, even if it cost him his life.

As for Sakura, well, you already know who she is crushing on...and boy, she's crushing bad. Naruto, the loud male then popped out of nowhere, with two bottles of different types of alchol. One was a whisky, the the other was red wine. "Who's up for some wine and some whisky?"

Every girl shrugged their shoulders and nodded, walking in the direction of the kitchen. Hinata was the only one who declined. She wasn't a big fan of getting drunk. Nevertheless, she just followed them. Soon, everyone was in the kitchen. Sakura just greeted whoever she saw.

"Oh, what's up Sai?"

"Hi, Ugly. Nothing much. Don't drink too much." he warned. Sakura rolled her eyes but nodded. Sakura gulped down the whisky that was in her small cup. Sakura does not like taking shots, it burns her throat. She prefers just drinking it calmly, unlike all her other friends who drink it viciously.

After about ten minutes, everyone except Hinata drunk at least one cup. Sakura had only about five, Naruto had ten, Tenten and Sai only had four, Neji one, Sasuke two, Ino seven, and Shikamaru three. Neji and Sasuke were the ones who felt responsible for watching over their friends. Sakura was not all that drunk she still had some sense.

"Damn, I'm going to have a bad hangover tomorrow!" Naruto whined as he tipped the bottle in his hand, only to be disappointed to find it empty. He dropped the bottle on the floor, not caring that sharp pieces of glass now surrounded the floor.

"Na-ru-to! You idiot! Cl-Clean that up! My parents are going to throw a fit!" Ino slurred. She tripped on a folded piece of rug she yelped as she saw that she was about to fall in a puddle of sharp glass. Only, Sai prevented her from doing so. "Thanks, Sai!!!!"

"Told you that they were going to make you drink." Sasuke smartly said as he entered the kitchen, to find his best friend sitting on a chair staring blankly at the table in front of her.

"Eh, well you drank, too."

"Only one cup..you had what? Six? Seven?"

"Wrong! I had five! You sure do suck at math, you know that?" she laughed and pointed a finger to him. Then pointed at herself, "I'm not that drunk. I am pretty sober. I've had worst!"

Sasuke shook his head, "Are you alright if you stay here for a few hours with everyone else?"

He recieved a questioning glance from her clearly asking where he was going. When he didn't answer, she voiced her thoughts, "Why? Where are you going?" she heard him sigh.

Sakura had to wait for a few seconds for him to answer. "Relax. Sakura I'm only just going to hang out with some friends.." It seemed Sakura was fully sober again.

"Wow...Really?" Sakura not willing to believe what he just told her. His other friends are a group where she couldn't believe that he befriended with. Sure, they were nice and all. But a majority of them were....gay, or bisexual. Don't get her wrong, she has nothing against gay guys. Actually, they all seem very laid back, and cool to talk to. It was that, ever since they came into Sasuke's life, he ditched her and his original friends for them.

"Hn. Why?"

"You're the one who told me to come over here to hang out with everyone. Everyone isn't everyone if one member of the group is gone! Sasuke, you can't just ditch me, I should of at least brought my car! I never planned on staying for a few hours, my mom and I were planning on getting some coffee together.."

"If it's that much of a big deal, I'll drop you off. Better yet, go get a ride from Ino."

"Double wow! Ino is drunk, everyone is pretty drunk except for Hinata, and Neji.." Sakura informed.

"Get a ride from Hinata or Neji." Sasuke suggested, well, ordered. He took a peek at the clock hanging at the wall "I'm leaving now. Told the guys I'll be there in about ten minutes." he just left her, without another word. Sometimes, Sasuke really gets under Sakura's skin. Not in a good way.

The two best friends don't very fight often. Time after time, they do get into small disagreements. This was just one of them after about one day, they would live like this never happened. She frowned, and then went to ask the the not intoxicated Hinata for a ride home.

Okay, there is the start of the new story! Please go ahead and tell me what you guys think of it! I hope it was decent. That was about three thousand letters. I worked on this for the longest time ever!

Reviews are appreciated.

Until Next Time!!!
