Authors note: I know this chapter is bad, but please do not stop reading because of it's stupidity. I only wrote the authors note after I published it and after I realized how bad it actually was. But trust me, Chapter 2 will be better.

I don't own Naruto!

An Unexpected love

Chapter 1

Awkward

"Sasuke?" Sakura called calmly glancing at her team-mate across the training field, the same training field that after the bell test Naruto was tied to the pole and the same field that they went on their first mission with Kakashi. Sakura had so many memories about this same training field. Sakura tried to find every simple reason to speak to the black-haired Uchiha. Sasuke was training by himself and Kakashi had told Sakura to train with Sasuke. Sasuke stopped training and turned to the pink-haired ninja and said, "Yes Sakura?"

Even though Sakura wanted to speak to Sasuke as often as she could, she was still incredibly shy around him, especially since he came back. After he had called her annoying … she was just shy to speak to him. Sakura wanted to show Sasuke that she wasn't annoying and that she was a good friend.

When Sasuke came back, he was first captured by some of the leaf ninja and brought to Lady Tsunade. Lady Tsunade was glad that he was back but still suspicious, she didn't know if this was some trap or if he really was back for good. So Lady Tsunade made Sasuke prove himself with many different tests. The first test was to fight and beat one of the ninja's that were close to his level. The second test was to stay for three months without betraying anyone, going missing unexpectedly, lying, or killing anyone. The third was to join group 7 again. And the last test was to train 3 of his own students for a year or more and if they picked up bad habits from him then he … would be in big trouble. Sasuke passed every single one of them and he really was back for good.

Sakura was more then happy when Sasuke was announced ninja of the leaf village once again. Sasuke was never really the same after he got back though. Sakura could never figure out why either. When Sasuke did come back he was eighteen and more gorgeous then ever when Sakura saw him and now Sasuke was nineteen and looking even more gorgeous in Sakura's eyes. The pink-haired young lady got chills sent down her back just thinking about Sasuke and how hot he was to her. If Sakura was ever asked who she was most shy in front of, she would definitely say Sasuke. She didn't really know why shy was so shy in front of him … she just was. Sakura seemed to trip over her words as she spoke to Sasuke.

"Kakashi-sensei requested that I train with you." The pink-haired young lady was unsure if that came out right, but how could she fix that now? In her opinion she did it again. She stumbled over her owns words again. The green-eyed ninja got so frustrated with herself for tipping and smudging all over her words. Sasuke nodded and turned to the tree again. "I guess if Kakashi-sensei requested then … we can train together."

Sakura was jumping inside and couldn't hide her smile from the outside. She was happy that she could finally train with the gorgeous young man after such a long period of time. If she was not mistaken, the last time she trained with Sasuke was when they were twelve and that was seven years ago. Heck was that a long time. But not only that she was training with him again, Sakura was thrilled they were alone on the training field.

The night was warm and the stars in the sky sparkle brighter then usual. The intensely green grass was slightly wet but neither Sakura nor Sasuke minded.

They began to train, and Sakura was loving every moment of it. She loved just staring at him and now that they were training together, alone … it gave her goose bumps. Hit by hit she accepted it, but only because she was being hit by the young ninja. As they trained Sakura would look deeply into the young ninja's black beautiful orbs. Sakura found herself incredibly lucky to be teamed up with Sasuke.

They trained and trained and time seemed to fly like nothing else. Sakura was having fun even though some of the blows she took was painful she didn't really care. Both Sasuke and Sakura didn't concentrate on the time.

Training, somehow got them fighting on the floor. But as they fought on the ground they thought that they might as well practise their Tai-Jutsu. Both were good at their physical fighting, but as soon as they got up one of them managed to get the other on the ground.

Straight up again Sasuke threw a hard punch. The punch hit Sakura, but Sakura also caught his arm and tripped him, sending them both falling to the ground. Sakura landed on the raven-haired ninja, and if it weren't awkward enough, as Sakura landed on Sasuke their lips touched. Both were completely dumbfound as their lips touched, causing Sakura to peck the well-built young man.

The green-eyed young lady jumped off of Sasuke faster then she has ever jumped. Sasuke laid on the floor as if he were paralysed. Sakura walked deep into the forest and when she found that she was deep enough she leaned against the closest tree. Yes, the moment of the accidental kiss was awkward, but Sakura was happy that the kiss happened. That was the first time that she ever kissed Sasuke and she was overwhelmed with joy.

"Oh my gosh! I kissed Sasuke Uchiha!" She said in a high-pitched tone as she jumped up and down waving her arms in the air. Her eye caught the time on her wrist watch and she said to no one in particular, "Oh my word, I've got to get home!" She ran through the forest never taking her mind off of the kiss. And when she got home, she apologized to her parents for being so late and told them that she just lost track of time. Sakura walked upstairs and took a hot bath.

Sakura dressed herself in a cool night gown and got onto her bed. She was incredibly hot, just from the warm night but when she kissed Sasuke … the heat just doubled and it never went away. The young lady stared at her roof where she stuck a picture of nineteen-year-old Sasuke. She thought about what happened that night and it brought a smiled to her face, but her favourite part of that night was – you could probably guess – the kiss between the two ninja's

"I kissed Sasuke." Sakura whispered to herself and closed her sleepy eyes. Sakura was tired from all that happened that night and was glad that she could finally close her eyes and fall asleep thinking happy thoughts.

"I kissed Sasuke." She whispered to herself again before falling asleep.

That night the beautiful young ninja had a dream that she and Sasuke started dating. The dream put a smiled on Sakura's face and really seemed to make the night even better.

The next morning Sakura was singing happy tunes. The excitement from last night never wore off, and Sakura was sure that it was partly because of the dream. Sakura always wanted to date Sasuke, but Sasuke never really had the same feelings for her.

It made the pink-haired ninja a little bit sad that Sasuke didn't feel the way about her that she felt for him. Sakura wanted the raven-haired ninja to feel as strongly about her as she felt him. "Man it sucks that he doesn't feel that way about me!" Sakura thought as she brushed her hair.

Her hair had grown quite a lot in the past seven years. Her pink hair trailed to the middle of her butt. Her eyelashes grew longer and darker and the colour of her eyes became slightly lighter. She was more tanned and her body figure was perfected over age. Sakura really was stunning, a very beautiful young lady. Sakura tied her hair into a high pony and let her fringe hang lose. She put light blue jean shorts and a red tank top on. It was also a very hot day just like yesterday, and since Sakura was still hot from the kiss last night she wanted to keep cool.

It was a Saturday morning and Sakura went to go and do the shopping. The pink-haired ninja stopped by the flower shop and said hi to Ino. Sakura and Ino became good friends again. When Sasuke left the first time, it took awhile, but Ino moved on. Sakura didn't though, but she kept it secret.

Sakura walked into the flowers shop and walked over to Ino. Ino had just finished with a customer and was happy that the green-eyes young lady came by. "Hey Ino." Sakura said giving Ino a hug from the other side of the counter.

Ino replied with a warm smile saying, "Hey."

"How are you Ino?"

"I'm great thank you and you Sakura?"

"I'm fantastic!" This time as Sakura said that she was fantastic she wasn't lying. Sakura usually wasn't fine because she was so worried about Sasuke.

Because Sasuke had never been the same when he came back, Sakura was very concerned about him and really wanted to find out why. Plus Sakura loved Sasuke more then anything now. She loved him more then ever before.

Ino smiled at her pink-haired friend and said, "That's great Sakura."

"So Ino, what's new?"

Ino smiled shyly. "It's very, very hard to believe."

"I'll believe you Ino."

Ino lifted up her left hand to reveal a diamond ring on her ring finger. Sakura's big green eyes went wide. The pink-haired ninja hugged Ino tightly while saying, "Congrates Ino!"

"Sai proposed last night!"

Ino was very happy and Sakura could see that. The green-eyed ninja was very happy for her friend. Ino was not at all the person for marriage but if Ino was happy then there was not stopping her. Some people said the love was blind, deaf, and stupid. Maybe that was why people usually chose the wrong guy, but Sakura knew that Sai was the right guy for Ino. They really were happy together. It really was an unexpected love, but love is love isn't it?

"I'm so happy for you!" Sakura hugged Ino tighter and tighter.

"I still need to be alive for my wedding." Ino managed to say as her breath was being squeezed out by her friend who had now let go.

"You're right. I'm just … so happy for you!"

"Thanks Sakura. I have to get back to work. Thanks for stopping by."

"Your welcome Ino."

Sakura smiled and at the blonde young lady and then walked out of the flower shop. After hours and hours of shopping Sakura finally finished and was now on her way home. Almost home night was coming near. It was more or less 18:00 and all Sakura wanted was to get home. "Hey Sakura!" Naruto called from behind. The blonde young man ran up to Sakura.

"Oh hey Naruto."

"Can I help you carry your stuff?" He asked kindly.

"No thanks Naruto. How are you?"

"Oh I'm great! And you?"

"Fantastic thank you."

Sakura smiled at the happy ninja and asked, "How is Hinata?"

"Oh yeah, she's great. Hey that reminds me, I have to get going." Naruto waved and ran past Sakura. The pink-haired ninja watched back as Naruto ran past her. She took a step forward still watching back at Naruto to find herself bumping into someone. She felt back and dropped her bags.

Sasuke offered the fallen ninja a hand up, after all Sakura had fallen because she walked into him. Sakura blushed looking into Sasuke's eyes and accepting the hand up. Sakura felt so stupid walking into Sasuke like that. "I'm so sorry Sasuke." Sakura apologized.

"Don't worry about it." Sasuke picked up her fallen groceries and placed then gently into her small hands.

It was very awkward for both Sakura and Sasuke to stand there in silence.

"Hey Sasuke … do you-would you-like to go to dinner … later? I mean since I accidentally bumped into you …"

Sasuke chuckled as the young lady tripped over her words once again. "Sure Sakura. I'll pick you up at eight?"

"The-that's … um … great." Sakura blushed and smiled at the raven-haired ninja, who walked away smiling. Sakura ran home with the groceries and put them on the table in the kitchen. She ran to her room and got into the shower. She two hours to get ready and she wanted to look her best. She washed her hair with scarlet deluxe and used the soap that came with the shampoo. She got dressed into a shocking red tango dress and the red shoes to match with it. She loosened her hair and curled it.

Sakura looked stunning when she was finished, and it was just in time for Sasuke. He rang the door bell and she opened the door.

Sakura looked amazing and Sasuke's breathe was taken away. And he really struggled to get it back. He was dressed in his usual clothes but he still amazed Sakura.

"Shall we go?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura smiled at him. "Yeah."
