Cherry Blossoms For You
Chapter 01 - Words Left Unsaid
--
"Ah, what a nice day." A blond-haired boy emerged from the door of his house, stretching in the bright sunshine. His ocean blue eyes blinked vigorously against the piercing light. The rays felt good in combination with the slight breeze that made its way through the village of Konoha.
The boy trotted off his porch into the streets of the village, headed nowhere in particular, but bound to cause trouble somewhere. His eyes darted here and there, bringing in all the wondrous sights of the fresh mornings in his hometown.
Shutters swung open, letting in the light of a brand new day. Kids dashed out of the doors and into the streets, playing tag and other nonsense games. People set out to begin their day like any other normal day.
Any other normal day would be a great way to describe today…if you weren't Naruto Uzumaki. He was always making some kind of scene wherever he went and couldn't seem to keep himself out of trouble. But that's what made him so reliable. He always found a way to cheer people up and make things better. Maybe that's why he heard what he was about to hear. Either that or he was in trouble…again.
"Naruto!!" The sound bounced off the buildings and echoed in Naruto's ears, freezing him in his tracks. That voice could belong to only one person. His eye twitched.
"Ino, hi. Eheh. What's up?" He faked a smile to keep from getting punched in the head.
"Sakura is crying and I need your help. She won't listen to me and you're good at cheering people up." Ino stormed up to him, obviously mad at something.
Sakura is crying?
A small smile formed on his whiskered face, signaling an evil, diabolical plan only a mind like his would be able to muster up.
A worried look replaced his grin quickly.
"What happened?" He questioned curious to find out what made a tough girl like Sakura cry.
"Sasuke called her ugly and said she was the most annoying person he's ever met!" Ino was angered at Sasuke's ignorance and could never forgive him for making her best friend cry like that.
"I mean, come on! Who could be so heartless as to make a girl cry? He obviously doesn't care about anyone but himself. I don't know what Sakura sees in him anyhow!" She rambled on as she paced back and forth, "He's such a jerk and has no respect for us girls! Can you believe he called her ugly? She's one of the most prettiest girls in Konoha and he just insulted her like that! I tell you, when I get my hands on that Uchiha, he'll pay for what he's done to her!..."
Ino stopped, blinking in confusion as she looked over to see Naruto gone.
"Where did that kid go now?" She glanced around, looking for the only spiky-haired blond in the village.

Why is he so cold to me?
Sakura sat alone on a bench in the park, staring blankly at the ground. The breeze swirled through the trees overhead, carrying fallen leaves with it.
Why does he think I'm so annoying? What do I do to annoy him so much?
A gust of wind caressed the girl's silky, pink hair, brushing it away from her face and revealing tear-stained cheeks. Her emerald eyes shimmered with the pain of being rejected once again.
What do I have to do to make him like me the way I like him…?
"Sakura…" A deep, enchanting voice echoed in her ears. His voice was soft, loving, and regretful.
She looked up to see none other than the famous Uchiha himself. His dark eyes reflected her pain and his expression was anything but scornful.
Sakura held her breath. Even after all the times he had called her ugly, annoying, and even worthless, she still somehow managed to weaken at the mere sight of those captivating eyes.
The boy slowly walked up to her, stopping only a few feet from where she sat alone on the bench, the ground wet with tears. She quickly stood up, hoping, from the look on his face, he was there to apologize and comfort her.
"Look, I'm sorry," Sasuke took Sakura by the hand, holding it tightly in his, "I…didn't mean to say those things to you."
Sakura was so relieved to hear those words finally come from his mouth.
Maybe he's finally realized how much I care for him…
Sasuke pulled her close to him, locking his deep, sorrowful eyes with her own. She was mesmerized by his expression and the look in his eyes. She never wanted this moment to end.
"I just wanted to tell you that…" Sasuke paused.
Sakura blinked her tears away, waiting for the words she'd been dying to hear come from his mouth.
"I just wanted to say…" Sasuke tried again, "…that…you are the most amazing person…I've ever met…and…I…"
Sakura judged by the way he was hesitating that it defiantly was what she wanted to hear. Her eyes lit up and a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"ok, what I'm really trying to say is that…I like you Sakura." He managed to say, not wanting to hide his feelings any longer, "I want to be with you…"
Sasuke's warm, sincere smile brought tears to Sakura's eyes again, but this time they were tears of joy.
Sasuke saw those beautiful eyes bleed rain yet again and pulled her close in a tight hug.
Sakura pressed her cheek against his chest. He had no idea how she had been longing for such a moment when she could be so close to him as to hear his heart beating within him. She closed her tired eyes, enjoying every second of this once in a lifetime feeling.
"Don't you think that trick is getting a little old, Naruto …?" A cold, familiar voice rang through Sakura's ears and her eyes shot wide open.
woot! first chapter done! I enjoyed writing this a lot. I've never tried a Naruto fanfic, but after reading my best friend's new stories, I got the motivation I needed to create my own Naruto story.
So here ya go! Second chapter soon to follow! This might even go farther than I originally expected. I'm kinda liking the plot in my head but we'll see how things turn out :D
Reviews are much appreciated! Thanks for reading!
