SasuSaku: Our Musical Love

Thursday Part One

False friends are like a shadow, they're with you while you're in the sunshine, but leave you the minute you cross into the shade.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sasori made me feel happy. Although he may have blackmailed me into dating him, I think I've actually fallen for him. He's cute, he's funny and he can be caring! "Sakura-chan....I'm hungry..." He pouted. I was holding my bento and he sat there with his mouth open.

I blushed and put a small potato into his mouth. He smiled and lay on my lap, "Much better," We were sitting beneath the cherry blossom tree since it was my favorite place to be in so we come here before and after school.

"I'm going to introduce you to the rest of my friends at lunch," He yawned, "Now gimme a kiss," he puckered his lips and tilted his head upwards. I giggled and brought my head closer to his to give him a quick kiss.

"Oy! Lovebirds!" Ino called out, "We need Sakura for music rehearsal!" I looked up and nodded. "You do music?" Sasori asked curiously. "Yeah, I play guitar and I sing, I gotta go, bye Sasori-kun!" I lifted his head up gently so he could sit up and walked away with Ino.

"So...?" Ino peered into my face. "So what?" I felt my eye twitch, god I hate when she does this. "Tell me the details!" I shook my head and carried on walking. "Aww come on please?" She pouted. I laughed at her and began to run ahead. "Hey! Billboard-brow! Wait up!"

It felt like someone was watching me as I ran and I know it isn't Ino since I slowed down for her to be at my side. I glanced over my shoulder but no one was there, "What's wrong?" Ino asked. I looked back at her and shook my head, "Nothing..."

When we finally arrived, the feeling of being watched hadn't gone and I was feeling paranoid. "Okay guys take it from the top," I smiled, as they played, I bobbed my head and hummed along. Nothing came into my head, man I'm losing my touch!

"Alright guys! We are so gonna win the Battle of Bands! GO SHIMMERZ!" I laughed high fiving the group. The feeling of being watched subsided and I felt slightly safer. The bell rang for lunch and I think I'm supposed to meet Sasori's friends. Where did we meet last time?

I left the room and Sasori was right by the door in a knocking position, "Beat me to it," He chuckled taking my hand and walking me away. "Alright, my friends are known as the 'Akatuski' they're all at the top of the class in a subject, as my girlfriend, you have to do the same,"

This isn't going to be easy. I don't think I'm good at anything other than music and I doubt they'll accept me. "Your palms are sweaty," Sasori commented casually, I blushed furiously, "G-Gomenesai, I'm nervous," I was about to take my hand back but he squeezed it.

When we arrived at the dining hall, I immediately noticed Deidara and Hidan along with a purple-haired girl, a ginger boy with an overdose of piercings and a guy wearing his hood up. They don't exactly look friendly... Sasori calmly tossed his arm over my shoulder and guided me towards them.

"Hey Sakura, we've heard a lot about you," The ginger said in a deep monotone voice. I literally gulp at that statement, I really don't want to be here right now. The purple-haired woman walked up to me and introduced herself, "My name is Konan and this is Nagato,"

I nodded my head and thought, smile Sakura. Just smile. "My name is Sakura," They knew that already though... "We have something for you, here," Nagato handed a piece of paper to me and I read it.

It was a song and I tilted my head, "You guys want me to sing?" They both nodded, I noticed the guy in the hoodie was staring at me or I think he's staring at me since he's facing my direction. I can't even see his face so I don't know how to react.

"We've prepared a soundtrack for you to perform to," Konan stated quite firmly whilst pointing at a stage. I felt my eye twitch. They even went so far to bring a stage in here? Hesitantly, I nodded my head and went onto the stage to find a countless amount of eyes staring at me.

I glanced over at Sasori and he nodded, "This song is called: 'Clarity' and I , Sakura Haruno, will be the one performing for you guys," I read off the paper. This intro was so bland.... I skimmed through the lyrics and it seemed quite easy to remember.

*Start song*

High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)

Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy?If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

I looked around the hall and everyone began applauding, I glanced over at Sasori and he gave me a thumb up. "You have proven your worth, you are now part of the Akatsuki and worthy of being Sasori's girlfriend," I gasped in happiness and threw my arms around Sasori.

"Okay you're not allowed to socialize with people other than us, if you do then you're outta the group got it?" Nagato said in a threatening tone. "U-Um, I'm entering the Battle of Bands like next week Friday so I'll need to do rehearsals with my band."

Konan and Nagato nodded in synchronization, "Fine, the only outsiders you're allowed to talk to is your band," I sighed in relief. Wait. What about Sasuke? "Does this include people outside of school?" I asked timidly.

"Yes," That one word made me regret everything. I didn't want to be apart from Sasuke. "You'll have to create a facebook account as well so we can be in contact at all times." They added. I wish... I wish I went with Sasuke after they had that argument. I wish I never left his side. I wish...

I wish I never fell for Sasori...
