Hair like snow ….

He stood his ground just right before her. She was just four meters away from him.
He was in a navy shirt and black jeans. His hair was left naturally sticking up at the back of his
head. His pale face glowed in the warm morning sunlight. Cold orbs showed no emotion and
stared right into apple green sparkling eyes.
He could sense her getting uncomfortable with him staring at her like that but he kept on staring.
He noticed she took extra care in her appearance that day. Her tomboy-ish look changed and
replaced by that of a matured and beautiful young woman in the making of becoming a brilliant
wife.
His little blossom was changing and now has to be set free. He could feel it. He knew that her
parents wouldn't like her seeing him anymore.
"YOU ASSHOLE! So you're the one my daughter wants to break off her engagement off for!"
Yelled an angry man.
"Sir, it wasn't my idea for her to go all love sick over me. She was the one who chose to be like
this" stated back a cool voice.
"WHY Y- WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?"
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke and I'm a traitor yes, but I never did anything wrong this time"
-pause of silence-
"I see what you're trying to get to but I STILL don't believe my loyal daughter would suddenly break an engagement off just for you!"
"Hn"
"ANSWER TO YOUR ELDER BOY!"
"I have nothing to say but that it was your daughter who chose to be this way. If you really don't li-"
"OF COURSE I DON'T LIKE IT!"
"-ke it then I suppose I should just leave. I'm already offered to work at the hidden village of mist anyway and at least the villagers over there are still willing to accept me"
"That sounds like a good idea. Maybe when you leave she'll reconsider her decision"
He was still staring at her. Thoughts were running over his mind and the more he tried shaking that cold shuddering feeling off him the worse the thoughts got. It was still puzzling him that he ever spared any thought about this annoying little girl he hated. It was getting on his nerves. He was hell bent on revenge and yet, he still had enough room to spare a thought on her well being. He hated being close to people. All it ever did was make things worse for him. Yet, she still was there by him. No matter how hard he brushed her off him like she was a parasite or a fly near his ear; she stood by and clung to him desperately. It annoyed him and the harder he tried pushing her off she held on more tightly. Sometimes he would lose his cool and his sharingan would automatically switch on and every time that happened, she just smiled and let go of his arm then ran off.
Every single day was the same.
He trained for at least three hours, ate lunch, trained again and then she would arrive full of energy and bouncing along to him.
He sometimes let her have his lunch when he didn't feel hungry.
She always ate his leftovers and then she would let out a tiny burp, giggle softly and wrap up his lunch box in a flimsy pink material that reminded him too much of her hair which always was shiny and vibrant.
He was getting annoyed now. Staring into her bright orbs made him suddenly feel dizzy. They were too mesmerizing. Too bright for his liking. He turned away and concentrated on the tree beside her. It was a weeping willow. It was blowing along gently with the wind and he could see the sun peeking out from behind it.
"Why do you always have to lock me away from you?" she asked.
"Because I can't let my emotions get to me" he answered back.
"What do you mean?" she pressed on.
"I mean that emotions filled with love and friendship weakens my chance of ever succeeding my goal"
"Oh, so that's it huh?! All you ever cared about was killing your elder brother who is at least ten times better than you and would probably never be killed and just die peacefully at a very old age!"
"Shut up Sakura. Your voice is annoying the shit out of me"
"EXCUSE ME?! "
"I said shut it. You're loud and noisy"
"Well I'm sorry that my voice is so high pitched"
"I don't care. Just step away"
"Why huh?"
"I'm leaving to another village. One where no-one will bother me and where girls like you will not be in the picture"
-silence-
He heard her sniffling. She was definitely trying to stop crying. He knew that she was probably heartbroken. It must hurt her to know that all these months where she would always be there to help him was worth nothing. She never ever gained any appreciation or love from him. It must hurt her real badly.
After five minutes she spoke,
"Fine then. I should step away since nothing's going to change your mind anyway"
"Smart girl. Now step sideways"
She stepped sideways and left her arms hanging limply by her side.
He walked right past her. His scent of freshly cut grass drifted towards her nose and she knew that he had walked through the gate.
Silent tears fell down her cheeks.
It was true.
Nothing she could do could ever change his mind.
All that was left for her now was to marry her betrothed and carry on with her life.
For an avenger never will change his mind and with his goal once completed, there is nothing left for the person to do but disappear with the light sunny breeze.
She looked backwards to where the main gate was. He was already gone and probably halfway to his destination.
A small cherry blossom was left in the entrance of the gate. Dust was blowing past it and she scooped it up.
"Yeah! Congratulations Sakura!" Screamed out a heavily pregnant Ino.
The wedding for Haruno Sakura and her betrothed had just finished and the bridesmaids were circling around Sakura as she glowed with somewhat happiness.
This was her special day.
A day where a man and woman unite and belong to each other for eternity.
Still, something was missing.
Love.
Sakura's husband sure was a mysterious person. He refused to remove his anbu mask and kept it on all night. When she asked to see his face he just shook his head lightly and walked briskly off to where the men were having drunken talks.
She sighed.
At least now she could brag about having a husband who was a very high ranked ninja.
"SAKURA!"
Sakura's head turned to Uzumaki Naruto. The number one idiot and sixth hokage.
He was currently swinging dangerously on a chair with Sakura's husband trying to hold him still.
"COME HERE SAKURA!"
Sakura smiled lightly and gracefully walked in a dignified manner towards him.
As she approached him, she felt her husbands intense gaze on her and she fixated her direction towards him. Behind his mask, was his true face which he wouldn't show.
-
"SAKURA THIS PLACE HAS NO RAMEN!"
Sakura sighed irritably and knocked the man's head.
During the process of Naruto falling off his seat, he accidentally pulled onto Sakura's husband mask and off came his mask revealing his true face to everyone.
Sakura gasped.
"Sasuke?!"
"Hn."
"What?"
"That dobe fucking spoiled my hope to surprise you"
Sakura was temporarily shocked.
She let out a choked out cry and hugged Sasuke.
Sasuke chuckled. She certainly was happy and he was now deciding whether it was worth it for asking her hand in marriage privately with her father.
Mr Haruno certainly was hard to crack but after a few "missions" for him, he finally agreed.
Outside the suddenly more joyous bar, snow was falling.
Sasuke pulled Sakura outside and they both held hands staring up at the sky together.
He pulled her to face him and stared at her. She was beautiful in a white kimono and she wore on natural makeup. Her hair was loose and tumbled in waves on her shoulders.
In one movement, he kissed her.
As they broke apart, he saw her hair covered in snowflakes. The pink was replaced by white.
He then came to a conclusion.
Her hair was like snow.
The moon like a wolf's fang
She is languished
I raise my cup
Drinking all the wind and snow
Who overthrew the previous life cabinet?
Provoking dust and gossip
The word formula of fate
Reincarnating a few times
You frown
Crying that your young beauty cannot be called back
Even if the annals of history have already become ash
My love won't be extinguished
Flourishing like three thousand waters flowing east
I only take one ladle of love to understand
Only loving the butterfly you incarnated into
Your hair is like snow
Leaving sadly but beautifully
Who is moved by my burning incense?
Inviting the bright moon
Making memories clear and bright
Love is perfected under the moonlight
Your hair is like snow
Fluttering tears
Who has become old by my waiting?
The mundane world is intoxicated
The years of being slightly drunken
I use no regrets
To carve a stone tablet for my eternal love for you
La er la
La er la
La er la er la
La er la
La er la
La er la er ah
The bronze mirror reflects no evils
Tie a ponytail
If you are wild
This lifetime I fill a wine cup to accompany you
FINISHED!
A/N Enjoy?!
