Lost at war

Okay, I wanted to try something, 'cause I had the lyrics to this specific song. Yes. I'm gonna try a songfic. T-T

So, the story will be explained fully at the end. The song is Soldier Side; by System of a Down. (full credit to them for the song! I love the band and the song.) I do know that song fics are not allowed, so I tried hard to make it more like a story. Here goes!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But I do own the CD with this song!! Okay, no, I don't, my older sister does...And I don't own the lyrics/song either.

Sasuke turned to leave, a backpack on his shoulders. Sakura grabbing his arm, tears falling slowly down her cheeks.

"Do you have to go?!" Sakura cried, her free hand under her chin.

Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave

Wondering when Savior comes

Is he gonna be saved

Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life

Maybe you're a joker,

maybe you deserve to die

Sasuke looked at her, his black eyes locked onto her saddened green eyes.

"Yeah. I do. I have no choice, Sakura," He sighed, upset he really had to leave and worse - leave her alone.

The tears began to fall faster. "I don't want you to go!!" Sakura whispered loudly, closing her eyes.

Sasuke felt his heart falling heavily with pain that this girl was giving him. "I promise I'll come back."

They were crying when their sons left

God is wearing black

He's gone so far to find no hope

He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left

All young men must go

He's come so far to find the truth

He's never coming home

"But what if you never come back?" Sakura looked up at Sasuke, the tears flowing steadily down her cheeks.

"What if I do?" Sasuke smirked jokingly, hoping to lighten the sad mood.

"Sasuke!!" Sakura cried, gripping his arm, never wanting to let go.

"I promise," Sasuke realized that this was harder for Sakura than he had first thought it would be. And he regretted leaving.

Young men standing on the top of thier own graves

Wondering when Jesus comes

Are they gonna be saved

Cruelty to the winner

Bishop tells the Kings his lies

Maybe you're a mourner,

maybe you deserve to die

Sakura watched in fear as he walked out of the gates of Kohana.

Naruto came up behind her. "He'll be fine." He whispered, putting a hand on Sakura's shoulder supportively.

"YOU BETTER COME BACK, SASUKE UCHIHA!!!" Sakura yelled, smiling weakly.

Sasuke looked back at her, turning and freezing there for a minute. The thought that his promise would be broken and he wouldn't come back lingered in the back of his mind.

"I...I will," He said weakly, not sure if he believed even himself.

They were crying when their sons left

God is wearing black

He's gone so far to find no hope

He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left

All young men must go

He's come so far to find no truth

He's never going home

Naruto walked around Sakura, going to meet up with Sasuke as they piled their things into the truck.

"You...you're going too?" Sakura asked Naruto weakly, her eyes wide.

"I have to. It's our duty. They won't let us stay here. We'll get killed if we don't go," Naruto turned to Sakura. Serious, a feeling that Naruto hated to show, was showing.

"Oh," Sakura couldn't think of anything better to say. She was hurt and wasn't afraid to admit it.

Welcome to the Soldier Side

Where there's no one here but me

People all grow up to die

There is no one here but me

"If I break my promise, Sakura, you'll never let me live it down," Sasuke joked, chuckling a little.

They both knew that if he broke his promise, it meant he was dead, and it was haunting them. But they had to try and push that feeling aside. "You better believe I won't!" Sakura held her pain back long enough to joke back.

Naruto let out a chuckle. His deep blue eyes reflected the pain he'd been able to hide for so very long, he didn't want this to break them apart. He didn't want to be in the middle of this. He didn't want hope to be broken. "C'mon, Sasuke, let's go." The young men climbed into the truck and drove off.

Sakura stood there, crying, then she turned around and ran home. The tears were falling slowly behind her, seeping into the dirt road...never to be disturbed from the memory of the pain.

Welcome to the Soldier Side

Where there's no one here but me

People on the soldier's side

There is no one here but me

Years later, the joke was turned to tears. Sasuke never came back. Sakura can't smile anymore, her heart was broken and can never be repaired. Naruto didn't come back either. No one could help her, needless to say they tried. All she could do was cry and mourn the loss of her beloved.

Story behind it:

Sasuke and Naruto were called to war. But Sakura didn't want them to go. When the did leave, Sasuke promised he'd come back to her, but he never did. He died at war.

My first songfic. Why can I only do blasted sad oneshots?! And, this is the end of my drabbles because I can't think of anymore ideas and I'm not getting very many reviews for the story. Please review and tell me what you think...and please don't tell me I'm not supposed to write these!!!
