PS, I LOVE YOU

After Sasuke left, he prepared a series of letters for Sakura to secretly open one by one, not with the intention to make her continue loving for him, but, to deal with her grief, learn to move on and find someone better for her. "I'm still here with you." SasuSaku in the beginning, middle and even the ending.

PROLOGUE

It was a bright, sunny day but Sakura can't seem to even enjoy it. She walked around aimlessly wondering why her life is so flawed yet others' are so damn perfect.

Can't I really have even just one day of my life where I can say "I have all I want, everything is in place."?

It was exactly one month after the day Sasuke left. And Sakura isn't getting any better. The retrieval mission failed, the second part failed too, and SHE failed. EVERYTHING FAILED!!

Sakura arrived at her apartment and took out her key.

"Don't you dare get stuck again," she mumbled. Apparently, during the last few months, her door knob stocks the key she'd use to turn it.

It didn't.

Hah! You don't win this ti---

"OUCH! OUCH!!" She screamed. Something caught her foot and made her stumble. Wow, very ninja-ish.

"What the hell?" Sakura said as she stood up and put the lights on.

There was a parcel wrapped in pink paper with a tag on it.

Happy 14th Birthday, Sakura.

-U.S.

"Oh yeah, it's my birthday…" Sakura said sarcastically. "But who has the initials, 'U.S'?" Sakura rhetorically asked.

Uchiha. Sasuke. U.S. U-chi-ha Sa-su-ke!!

"WHAT?!" Sakura almost shouted.

She hurriedly got the parcel from the floor, sat on the couch and examined the box.

It is Sasuke's handwriting, no question 'bout that. BUT, how can a package from him arrive when he's with Orochimaru and he doesn't even care?

I hate to say this but you know, ninjas can copy someone's handwriting.

"Only those who have the Sharingan." Sakura muttered.

Then open it!!!

"'Kay…."

Sakura ripped the paper off and it was the box of a famous bakery in Konoha.

A cake?!

Tied with the ribbon is a tape recorder that says, "Play."

Sakura got the tape recorder and hit the "Play" button.

Sakura….

Sakura cupped her mouth with her hand the moment she heard the familiar deep, masculine voice.

Hey Sakura, yeah, I know this is weird, but please listen first before you hyperventilate like you always do…

"God, Sasuke, you didn't need to be that frank…"

Yeah, I'm being frank but it's true, anyway, happy birthday. That's your favorite, right?

Sakura opened the box and saw a cake fondant. Sakura smiled because it's as if Sasuke was directly talking to her though it was only a voice recording.

"Yeah…Thanks."

You're welcome. I guess you're really shocked but, I can't just really leave you out there depressed because of me. So, here it is. Letters from me will be coming to you all sorts of ways so I can help you. Don't try to figure it out, it'll just ruin my brilliant plan.

"Conceited as always, Sasuke-kun."

I'm born conceited, Sakura. So, please don't be depressed, be the ninja you are and the strong woman I know. Tell Naruto he's still a loser no matter what. Don't go after me, it's useless. I'll come back on my own after I've done everything I want. If I can..

I'd like it if this thing will remain a secret between us. Don't tell anyone. Not even Naruto, Kakashi, Yamanaka, whatnot.

P.S…

There was silence and Sakura shook the recorder.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun…" Sakura couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her eyes.

Umm…(coughs)…Never mind. Enjoy the cake. AND don't cry.

There was a beep that signaled the recording was over.

"Sasuke-kun…Thank you." Sakura muttered before playing the recording again to hear his voice.

At least during the next months that will come, Sakura won't be alone. She knew Sasuke was still with her and Sakura decided that she won't lose her hope--because hope is a very dangerous thing to lose.
