   A story...
I really hope you guys don't mind, but I'm posting a SASUxSAKU story on here. I just made it up and it's really not that good. But anyways, please tell me what you think. If you don't like this pairing, scroll down and you'll find my other post. Well, here goes everything!


Why did it always have to happen to her? Why did love seem to follow only her around like a lost puppy? Yes, young Sakura Haruno was in love. She was in love with a young boy who went by the name of Sasuke Uchiha. All of the girls in Konoha loved him. He not only was smoking hot, but he was also mysterious and an awesome ninja. So if Sasuke was that great, what could be so wrong with falling in love with him? Sakura was a hot-tempered, road-rage, out-of-control, thinks-she-so-preppy-and-hot, person. She was a coward, and a hindrance. The only thing she was good at was dressing up like a doll and being smarter than everyone else is. She was that way, at least, on the outside. The real Sakura Haruno, that no one ever saw, was a gentle, caring loving, and very sensitive young girl… As a ninja of the Konoha village, Sakura could not show this side of herself. Her ninja duties called her to be a side she really was not and did not want to be. Sakura knew that she would never have a chance with Sasuke being the way she was. She knew that somehow, somehow on this small green and somewhat blue earth, she had to show him who she really was and wanted to be.

“Hey, Sakura-chan!” Sakura looked in the direction from where she had heard her name. Naruto was running to her. At least, whom she thought was Naruto. “Naruto, is that really you?” Sakura was very surprised. He was even taller than she was now and his voice was deeper than she remember last. Naruto had gone on a journey with Jiraiya for two years. She had not seen him for that time or heard from him. “Of course it’s me! Don’t you remember Sakura-chan?” She smiled slyly. “Of course I remember you Naruto! You have not been away for that long. How was your training with Jiraiya? He didn’t do anything perverted did he?” Naruto grimaced. “You mean Ero-sannin? He’ll never change no matter what you do!” Sakura just noticed something else about this new Naruto. He sounded more like an adult and less like the little kid she had known. “Eh, Sakura-chan?” Sakura snapped out of her thoughts. “I have a really cool jutsu to show you!” She smiled. “Go for it, Naruto.” He smiled and made the correct hand signs. There was a large puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, she saw that Naruto transformed into his famous henge-jutsu. “NARUTO!” Sakura hit him over the head with her fist. He flashed his azure eyes in her direction. It might have worked for Hinata, but he would not get away with this one. “Sorry Sakura-chan, sorry Sakura-chan!” She guessed some things never would change.

After her meeting with Naruto and declining his invitation to get some ramen, she started on her way home. Her thoughts that Naruto had interrupted were not completely forgotten. They were not in the main part of her brain but they were still there in the back of her mind. As she made her way home, she was looking around and her heart suddenly stopped. Sasuke was just walking around with nowhere to go, looking at some things here and there. Naruto had arrived shortly after Sasuke had. Sasuke had been in the village for about a week, but Sakura still felt uneasy around him. She had told him her true feelings when he ran away from the village when they were twelve, and he turned her away to go train with Orochimaru. She didn’t want to think about what would happen if he knew she still loved him. She stopped staring at his stunning beauty and started walking fast. She did not really know if she could stand him talking to her, much less talking to him. She started slowing down, thinking that she was safe. “Hey Sakura.” Apparently, this was not so. “Hi Sasuke-kun.” She looked at him. She knew that he would probably have changed from her meeting with Naruto, but she did not know that he would change so much. His voice was a lot deeper and he was even cuter than he was before he ran away. His eyes still had the same onyx-eyed gleam that always made the girls in the village melt there on the spot. “Sakura.” Sakura was broken out of her thoughts for the second time that day. “Um, yes Sasuke-kun?” “Have you seen Naruto anywhere?” She silently breathed a sigh of relief at his simple question. “I think he said he was going to go get some ramen. You should find him at Ichiraku’s Ramen Shop. Same place as always.” He nodded and started to move in the direction of the ramen shop. When he was gone, Sakura just sat there. She could have sworn he said “thanks” under his breath to her. Sasuke never said anything like that to anyone, much less her. Why would Sasuke say something like that? “Maybe you just think too much Sakura,” she said to herself aloud. She started once again on her way home, but her meeting in Sasuke stayed at the front of her mind.

When she got home, she flopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. So much had happened to her today. She rolled over and looked at her clock. She saw that it was about 7:00, which meant it was time to eat dinner. She noticed that next to her clock, the picture of her, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei, was gone. Where could it have gone? She looked around and finally found it under her bed. She dusted it off and soon remembered why it was under her bed. She had hid the picture a few days ago when she heard that Sasuke had come back. She had kept thinking about all the memories in the past, some painful some not, that she did not really want to remember. She had wanted to forget some of the cruel past between her and her teammates. She wanted to start a new chapter in the life of her team. Sakura sighed heavily and put the picture back in its rightful place. She walked out the door of her apartment and walked over to the restaurant across the street.

When Sakura had paid for her meal and left a small tip, she decided to go for a walk. She looked up at the sky. It was dark and a bit chilly. There were no stars in the sky, but the moon was full and bright. “It sure is a beautiful night. I haven’t seen one like this in a long time.”

It seemed that her feet were taking her from place to place without her realizing it. They took her by the memorial stone, where she remembered all of the fallen ninja and who Kakashi-sensei said that many of his friends were on that list. They took her by the ramen shop where she remembered all of the times she and her teammates had gone to get ramen there.

The last place they brought her was near the edge of the village. She looked round and was about to draw nearer to the small bridge that went over the small stream when she stopped. She could barely believe her eyes. Sasuke was right in front of her. It was as if fate had leaded her to this place. She tried to turn away before he noticed her…”Sakura?” Too late for that plan. She turned back around. “Hi Sasuke-kun. Beautiful night isn’t it?” she asked a bit nervous. He nodded slowly. “You know, you don’t have to call me Sasuke-kun all the time. You can just call me Sasuke.” Sakura slowly nodded. “Okay…Sasuke.” There was a short silence. “Well, Sasuke, I’m sorry, but I really must go now.” She backed off a bit and turned to walked away, but before she could start walking, she felt a hand on her wrist. “Hold it.” She turned back around. Sasuke let go of her wrist. “What’s the rush?” She just looked at him. Did he really just ask her that? Sasuke never wanted to be with anyone. How had he changed this much? “I just…feel a little chilly is all,” she said simply. Sasuke pulled off the jacket he was wearing and gave it to her. “You can have it if you want.” Sakura stunningly put the jacket around her shoulders. “Thanks Sasuke.” After an awkward silence, Sasuke spoke up. “I wanted to ask you something.” Sakura nodded and sat down on the stone bench. “Ask away.” Sasuke slowly followed and sat in the space next to her. “It’s something that’s in the past.” Sakura shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t really like discussing things in the past, but I guess I can make one tiny exception this time.” Sasuke smiled for a short moment. Sasuke was overwhelming Sakura. He had changed so much since she had seen him last. He was actually talking to her, not mumbling as he used to two years ago. He was smiling and being much more social. “Do you…do you hate me for what I said and did that night? The night I left Konoha and went to train with Orochimaru?” Sakura had not expected it. It took a few seconds for it to sink in. “How could I hate you Sasuke?” She turned to face him. “I hated that you left and I missed you a lot, but I couldn’t hate you.” She smiled. “If anything it made me love you even-” She choked off the rest of her sentence. She stood up abruptly. “I’m sorry Sasuke. I’ve really got to go.” Sasuke stood up. “Sakura I-” “I have to go!” It all happened in one swift and gentle movement. Sasuke swept her off her feet into one gentle kiss. Sakura was shocked at first, but decided to enjoy the moment. They broke up after what seemed like hours. Sasuke looked away blushing and Sakura could feel herself turning slightly pink in her cheeks. Sasuke looked her way and smiled. Sakura smiled back. Sasuke started to advance toward her and she moved out of the way. He kept walking straight ahead and did not look back at all. Maybe, just maybe, Sakura did not think too much after all. And maybe sometimes, it was okay to think about the past.


Well, that's the end! Hope you enjoyed it. Well, see you all later!
