I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 1: Lonely Church Bells.

Sakura was woken by the various bustling businesses outside her apartment. She breathed in the cool crisp air swaying around her groggy face. She watched the few rays of sunlight brighten her room. She glanced at her red dress hanging on the closet door, sunlight illuminating the fabric making the room glow with a soft red. 'Today's the big day' she thought, yawning behind her hand. As in big day that is, Naruto and Hinata's wedding day. Naruto had gotten over that idiotic crush on Sakura a long time ago. It was about time he realize Hinata's feelings for him. Knowing Naruto he would have never guessed.

She got up, a smooth shudder clawed up her body as her feet felt the oddly cold wooden floor. She bathe, brush her teeth, and got dressed. She looked in the mirror, she looked pretty hot. The dress was just a medium length and the hum was just a bit covering her knees. The dress defined most of her curves and matched well with her cotton candy locks. She dashed by the kitchen she snagged a near apple and made a break for the door.

As she strolled through the main street of Konoha, she let out a relaxing sigh with a hint of irritably detected. She reached the church and grabbed open the huge doors. She peered in, a little taken aback at the amount of people there were. 'Did that idiot invite the whole of Konoha?' She said inwardly, as a single brow twitched in irked. She spotted all of rookie nine, chatting and laughing among themselves. The blonde boy looked so gleeful and handsome in his suit she admitted. Hinata was so gorgeous in her all white lace wedding dress. She hugged her soon to be husband's arm and gave a light blush. Sakura smiled at that, they really seemed happy and they deserved each other. Sakura had no doubt Hinata would make a great wife. She made her way to the loud group. Then, her appearance made everyone quiet and awkward. Something in her stomach tighten.

"Sakura –chan!'' Naruto beamed, breaking the deafening silence."You made it". He smiled warmly.

"Yea, congratulations Naruto, Hinata."

"Thank you Sakura –chan," they both stated.

"Hi everyone, you guys look great" added, trying her beat to break some tension. There all said thanks and continued their chatter.

"Hey forehead," Ino spoke. Sakura gave her a odd look, like she never even been called that before. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Ino in a while.

"Yo pig," Sakura uttered.

"You look really great tonight"

"Thanks, you to". Their conversation was dry, with no emotion, like they never met before, that made her woeful. Sakura glanced at Sasuke, he looked rather dashing, but she would never tell him that to his face. He would probably think he was flirting with him. And she did not want that. Fortunately she got over her school girl crush on him when he returned to the leaf village. After killing Orochimaru he wondered back here. Tsunade – sama let him back in but he would have to be punished first. He could not use his chakra for six months and she had ANBU tail him anytime he left his apartment. After the six months pasted, and he found himself loyal to Konoha she permit him to use his chakra again.

It was about time the wedding began, everyone watched as the bride walked graciously down the aisle bright smiles on their faces. They exchanged their vows and met with a warm kiss full of emotion and passion. The crowd cheered and the couple flushed with glee. After the wedding everyone was invited the after party. Everyone drank, laughed, danced, talked; it was truly a joyous time, with smiling faces and warm hearts. But Sakura's heart felt a little cold for some reason. She frowned as she sipped her red wine. She felt a little lonely. She was lonely and left out of the group. Everyone had their own little fling going on and she was single for now. They were too caught up in their own lives. Only Naruto and Kakashi still talked to her from time to time. When Sasuke came back Naruto focused all his attention on him. And trying to regain the bond they had, so Sakura was left behind and in the dark. Then Naruto got up and married, she was shocked when she heard Naruto was engaged but there was no helping the fact that he was in love. They stopped inviting her to get togethers, she would go if Naruto told her about them. But it was usually a couple date night kind of thing and she didn't want to impose on them and she definitely didn't want to be the third wheel.

"Yo,'' Ino said, breaking Sakura's train of thought. The blonde girl hugged at a her date's arm. He wasn't drop dead hot but he wasn't butt ugly either.

"Hey" Sakura stated aloofly, feeling in no mood to talk.

"What are you doing here all by yourself?" Ino inquired.

"Thinking," answered.

"About?"

"Oh, I don't know, how you guys don't hang out with me anymore," she said coldly. Ino just stared at her in surprise, wide eyed.

"Look Sakura, I'm sorry we haven't seen each other in so long, but you can't blame this on us, plus we invited you for date night remember?" Now Sakura was pissed.

"Oh?, Are you stupid or something? Like I'd go to a date night with you by myself , I won't want to be the third wheel and have to endure your lame flirting and humorless jokes." Sakura snapped. Ino looked at her with pity in her eyes and this made Sakura even more mad.

"Sorry, I don't need your pity''. She huffed. Sakura had enough of this. She gulped down her remaining wine and stomped pot the door not looking back. She breathed in the cool night breeze, a hint of alcohol and steamy food coming from the nearby restaurants kissed her flushed cheeks.
