Yep, sorry for the late update, school is really annoying. I have to juggle time between my amvs and MEPs and amv contests you know, and I still have to find time to transcribe piano stuff, so pls be patient. I will try to update soon. XD
 
Do You Know?
 
Sakura threw her phone into the seat next to her as she let out a cry of frustration.
 
First Sasuke, now Itachi.
 
She blinked rapidly as her eyes become moist.
 
How could Itachi just end it like this?
 
Her grip tightened on the steering wheel. `After so many years, it had come to this', she thought bitterly as she pressed down hard on the accelerator. Her car shot forward with renewed energy as she sped off.
 
Using the back of her hand, she wiped away the stray tears on her cheeks as she tried to blank out all the thoughts in her head. However, her heart sank as she realized that it was not Itachi she was worrying about at the moment but Sasuke.
 
In a rage, she twisted the steering wheel and pulled into a car park. What is wrong with me? My boyfriend just broke up with me and I'm thinking about his little brother?
 
Opening the car door, Sakura stepped out of the car and slammed it shut. Breathing deeply, she looked up. There was a jumble of emotions reflected in her eyes - uncertainty, insecurity, loneliness, sorrow, anger.
 
Letting out a choked sob, she leaned against the car door. Sliding downwards slowly, the tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over onto her cheeks. Her shoulders heaved with each raspy breath she took as she sat on the ground, hugging her knees close to her chest. Burrowing her head into her arms, she wept.
 
For what seemed like ages, she finally calmed down. Slowly lifting her head, she realized that someone was standing before her. Letting out a gasp, she scrambled to stand up. Only then did she recognise the silhouetted figure as the ex lead singer of Sabaku.
 
“Gaara!”
 
The red haired boy looked at her before speaking slowly and uncertainly. “Are…are you ok?”
 
The old longing for Itachi welled up in Sakura's heart and the dam threatened to burst again. Sensing the girl's distress, the boy stepped forward and embraced her as Sakura cried her heart out.

Gaara nodded solemnly as Sakura explained to him about the situation. Grasping her hand, he stared into her eyes reassuringly.
 
His deep baritone voice brought a faint smile to the rosette's lips. “It'll be fine Sakura.”
 
Standing up, Gaara counted out some notes and placed it onto the table. Ignoring Sakura's protests, he steered her out of the restaurant. Smirking at her, he proceeded to explain.
 
“I'm not letting a girl pay for me.”
 
Sakura smiled weakly at him before managing to utter a “thanks”.
 
The boy waved dismissively. Slowing down to wait for Sakura to catch up, he nodded at the mall's exit.
 
“You want to go?”
 
Sakura opened her mouth to answer but a certain shop caught her eye. Turning to look at her left, she figured that it was a CD shop. Gaara caught her gaze and gently nudged her.
 
“Let's take a look then, how's that sound?”
 
Sakura nodded gratefully.

Walking down the aisles between the shelves packed full of CDs, memories stirred up in Sakura's mind.
 
I go under the name Sharingan Warrior
 
Eyes glistening, Sakura turned towards the S aisle. Scanning the names of the bands and solo artists, she finally managed to find Sharingan Warrior.
 
Pulling out the CD in the section, Sakura turned it over. Chuckling to herself, she showed the CD to Gaara.
 
The red head looked surprised. “I didn't know you liked Sharingan Warrior.” He grinned at the girl. “You got lucky Sakura, this CD just came out three days ago.” Glancing at the title, he smirked. “Team 7 huh…”
 
Smiling, Sakura made her way towards the cashier.

Smiling at Gaara thankfully, she squeezed his hand.
 
“Thank you.”
 
Gaara nodded in understanding. He clapped a hand onto her shoulder firmly before turning towards his car.
 
Sakura walked over to her car and slipped into the driver's seat. Opening the CD case gingerly, she removed the disc and slipped it into the music player.
 
Selecting the first track, she started the car and made her way back home slowly. Glancing at the title, she saw that the track was named “Do You Know”.
 
Turning up the volume, she waited for the disc to load. After a moment, Sasuke's voice drifted out from the speakers.
 
Do you know,
Do you know,
 
Sasuke burst into the chorus and Sakura shivered slightly as she felt the genuine emotions emitting from Sasuke's lyrics.
 
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed
 
Sakura's eyes prickled slightly as she listened.
 
I write the songs and sing them. They're mostly based on my experiences
 
If birds flying south is a sign of changes
At least you can predict this every year.
Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly
I can't get it to speak
Maybe finding all the things it took to save us
I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me
Look in your eyes to see something about me
I'm standing on the edge and I don't know what else to give.
 
Sakura could not help but feel her heart clench as she recognized the similarities between the song and her current situation. She swallowed the lump in her throat as she fought to control her emotions.
 
How can I love you
How can I love you
How can I love you
How can I love you
If you just don't talk to me, babe.
 
Itachi…
 
It flows through my head
The question is she needed
And decide all the man I can ever be.
Looking at the last 3 years like I did,
I could never see us ending like this.
Do you know
Seeing your face no more on my pillow
Is a scene that's never happened to me.
Do you know
But after this episode I don't see,
you could never tell the next thing life could be.
 
Sasuke…Itachi…
