Chapter 1

Once upon a time, a pink haired young girl met a dark haired boy at the Ninja Academy. The moment she saw him, a lightning stroked her feelings. From that moment, she promised to herself to always be faithful to him no matter what happens...

That was her story before the incident. Five years ago, Uchiha Sasuke disappeared from the Konoha village. Sakura couldn't believe it, since he left without leaving a trace. She really wondered how she would have handled it. She never heard of him.

Until one day.

Sakura was looking for a dress for Hinata's birthday. She walked from place to place, beautiful dresses were easy to find, but none of them interested the young lady. While she was heading to her apartment, she saw someone.

He had dark hair and the way he walked seemed familiar.

An invisible force pushed her to run after the man. She had to know if it was really him, or it will haunt her day after day. She was now running toward the man like a young child who lost his mother. Heavy breath took over her. She grew nervous the more she approached him. But the little pink haired girl didn't watched her steps, she bumped into the man and fell. His bag fell and it dropped several items: brushes, paint, books... When did Sasuke-kun's interests in arts began? Sakura apologized and faced the man. He had the same eyes, the same look and the same color of hair...

But she was wrong, he wasn't Sasuke-kun.

'Are you ok? Give me your hand, I will help you.'

This is how she met Sai.

Reminiscing the incident over and over, Sakura decided to give up on Uchiha Sasuke, he dragged her crazy to no end. She just had mistaken someone else for Sasuke. Plus, who would be fool enough to care about someone who doesn't even aknowledged the existence of others? She does. But after meeting Sai, it ended. Definitly.

A whole new Haruno Sakura was born.

This was for the best. She was sure of it.

'Hey Sasuke! Over here!'

'Yo.'

They finally met. Naruto went straight to Konoha gates right after Sasuke's call. He couldn't believe it, after five years of absence, his bestfriend was back. Was it for real? He doesn't know it yet, but they had so much to say to each other. They have been silent since their greeting. It was Sasuke who broke it first.

'Naruto... You know... I've-'

'Don't worry; we will talk about it later. Aren't you tired?'

Without saying anything else, he took Sasuke's bags and walked forward. Sasuke was surprised but grateful toward his friend. Have he grown up that much in the period of five years?

'TEME! What are you doing? You know, I abandoned my bowl of ramen just for you. You better start walking or I will...'

'Shut it dobe.'

No, Naruto still remained the same.

It was already morning. Sakura woke up and noticed she fell asleep on her books. She studied all night long. She had to do that much of work since she wants to become a successful medical ninja like Tsunade-sama, the Godaime.

Today, she had nothing to do, no missions, no training. She left her apartment right after her breakfast to visit her sick father. She walked around the village and before she realized it, she was at the old training ground. It felt so notaligic. This training ground held a lot of memories. She will always remember their first training with the bells and Kakashi-sensei who almost gave up on them until they knew how to work in team.

'Sakura-channnnnnnn!'

'Hey Na...-' Sakura choked. She saw him.

Once upon a time, a pink haired young girl met a dark haired boy at the Ninja Academy.

Impossible. It can't be...

Her heart will certainly come out of her chest if it continued to run at such high speed.

The moment she saw him, a lightning strocked her feelings.

But he was right there in front of her. Nothing changed, same dark hair style, same cold attitude, he just grown a bit taller.

'Sakura-chan? Are you ok? You look pale... You overdid yourself while studying? This is so-'

'Sakura.'

'TEME, DON'T CUT ME!' hissed Naruto, 'You know Sakura-chan, Sasuke just came back. Isn't that great? Team 7 is right on track and...'

She couldn't hear Naruto now. She couldn't move. She couldn't say anything as she glanced at the dark hair boy. She couldn't even say his name. It's not as if she forgot it but... Uchiha Sasuke was right in front of her after several years. She closed her eyes and reminded herself what she had kept in mind since his disappearance and finally spoke as she opened her eyes.

'Sasuke, welcome back.' No more Sasuke-kun, this was a good start.

'Hn.'

'Still the same.'

'Hn.'

Uchiha Sasuke didn't change. This is so him, always replying with 'Hn' or 'Ah'. He wasn't a talkative person and why would that change? Sakura really wondered if she was the only who changed. She didn't wanted to drag the conversation for too long, she wouldn't be able to handle it any longer, her heart was about to give in. Plus, she had to leave soon to check on her father.

'By the way, Sasuke, did you report to Hokage-sama that you were back? If not, you better get on to it. Sorry if I interrupted your training, but I need to leave.' hurried the girl as she started to walk away.

Sakura felt like an idiot. With the Uchiha back, she couln't have stayed around, she had to flee, to run away. This is too much. What was that? Her heartbeat was running madly and it could be heard from the outside. How can she STILL feel that way after such a long time? She had to pulverize it or it could ruin everything. She had to.

Suddenly she felt her arm lifted. She turned around and saw that Sasuke was right behind her, firmly gripping on her arm.

'Will you please let-'

'Sakura, why are you mad?'

'What? You asked WHY? How can you... No, I'm fine. Really, Sasuke, I'm-'

'There's something wrong with you, tell me what is it.'

'I'm PERFECTLY fine! Let me go already!' She couldn't tell why, but she had to scream.

What was he expecting? To come back to Konoha and continued to live as if nothing happened? To think that every bonds that he had here will be kept after his return? Well it could have happened if he TOLD his friend about his leaving. But no, he disapeared and never showed any sign of life.

From that moment, she promised to herself to always be faithful to him no matter what happens...

No, she won't fell into the same trap again. Never. He broke the bonds, there is no way he would get it back.

'Yeah, let her go. Don't you see she doesn't care about you?'

Both of them stood there and looked up to where the voice came from. Strangely, they didn't feel his presence until now. If it was an enemy, they would probably get captured or even get killed by now.

'Who are you?' asked the Uchiha progidy.

A tall guy with black hair standed right beside a tree near the scene of the 'reunion of the Team 7' with his arm folded on his chest. He greeted everyone with a bow. He was about to introduce himself but...

'He's my boyfriend, Sai.'
