Re-written, edited. Changed some awkward sentences and such.


No one really knows what Sakura is talking about, when she explains that love exists. It's a phenomenon, really, but no one truly understands. "It's magic," she says, "we know it exists, but we can't touch or feel it." Some call it a bodily function, others a chemical reaction, but she knows otherwise. For she alone understands love's power, love's amazing, resonating power.

It is said that everyone encounters this 'bodily function' at least once in their lifetime, and even more than once for most. It's one of those things that is easy to fall in and out of, depending on mood swings and all that jazz. "But those that discover the magic," Sakura claims, "never lose it." Once you come across this magic, you're bound to it for a lifetime. Harry Potter doesn't turn muggle on his off days, and being truly in love won't be fazed by an argument over the shape of the onigiri.

Sakura can't say she really minds, though. To love as thoroughly as that and to have that love returned was a miracle in her eyes. Just to sit next to him, to feel his warmth, to have him return her kisses is more than she could ever ask for. "It is, by far," she claims, "the best thing that has ever happened to me." Surprisingly, he says the same.

When Naruto sees them together at Ichiraku, when Ino sees him getting flowers on March 27, when Kiba notices that Sakura smells lightly of his cologne, and when Rock Lee sees youthful love that sparkles with a thousand suns radiating around them, they see the magic as well. And then there is no longer any doubt in anyone's mind that he is with her only to revive his clan, and her him only because she can't move from her childhood crush. What they have is so much more than that. "Magic." That's what they call it.

And Sasuke and Sakura wouldn't have it any other way.
