Chapter 1

Dreams from the Past

"Sakura-chan, where have you been last night?"An eighteen year old girl with dark pink hair asked her sister.

Sakura Ayame stood in her room, her dress dirty with grass stains everywhere, her hair was out of her bun; but even though she was a mess she was glowing and had a stunning smile on her face.

"Saya-chan, you'll never believe what happened. I just had the most beautiful night of my life, it wouldn't have been more perfect even in a dream!!" She told her sister in one breath. "Daisuke-kun proposed!" She showed her the ring.

Saya was shocked beyond belief, she kept staring at the ring and to her sister back and forth until a smile broke her expression and a squeal came out of her mouth. Soon both sister were laughing and hugging.

"Sakura-chan, this is wonderful, this is great, this is…the most tragic moment of you life." Saya stopped laughing and frowned. "Sakura, you are engaged to the Uzumaki heir remember? You can't go off and become someone else's fiancée! Especially an Uchiha! Do you know how much trouble this could cause? This could start a feud between the families."

"But Haru is my best friend and he doesn't want to marry me either, he has his own love to protect. Besides we've all talked about this and we have come up with something, if everything goes right according to plan all of us will win."

Saya looked at Sakura skeptically, "you have a plan. Sakura-chan, I love you and you know that I want you to be happy. But dreaming is not good for you, this engagement was decided ever since your birth and as much as we both want to make everything different we can't." She sighed, "I don't want to see you disappointed and hurt at the end."

Sakura smiled and approached her. "Ever since we were little we've been told to do this, to do that, we've been taught that women have different rights than men do. We can't decide for ourselves, we can't be ninja or even think for ourselves, which is why we have to get married so our husbands think for us!"

"When I was young I thought that getting married to a man would be the end of my freedom. Which is why I refused to fall in love," she smiled, "but then I met Daisuke and I knew that he was different from the others; he was everything I could ever wish for. And tonight I accepted his proposal because I knew that I would never be enslaved or uncared for. I knew that he loved me and because he did he would never think of doing anything bad to me."

"But Sakura-chan-"

"We both know the risks that we are taking here, and we also know what could be the consequences. But at least for once in my life, let me do the one thing no woman in our time has ever done before." Sakura took Saya's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Let me defy my elders' wishes."

Sakura gasped as she woke with a start at what she had just dreamed. It had been a long time since she had thought about the incident in the forest but she never thought she'd dream about it. Looking around the place, she saw the empty side of her bed, Sasuke has gone to his mission early today.

"What time is it?" Sakura checked her clock, it read 7 am sharp. "Its so early! Well can't go back to sleep now, better get ready for another day."

Getting up she did all her morning routines, before she heard her kids talking upstairs. Daisuke was only weeks from getting married to Neji and Tenten's daughter and Ayame was leaving on a mission with her ANBU team today. Thoughts of how everything fell in place after the mansion incident rushed into her head, their friends didn't believe them at first and even thought they should go to a psychiatric facility. But they had to apologize after they saw Naruto's filming which miraculously captured every moment of the event.

Neji had called it destiny playing its part, and Sakura wouldn't have agreed more. It was indeed more of destiny's favor that she ended up with everything she had ever desired. She married the man of her dreams, she had a growing family and everything was going perfectly.

And yet another thought came thru, her head. A face to be more specific, one that reminded her of the dream she had a few hours ago.

"Saya-chan, who is Saya?
