FLASH BACK: 8 years old
I saw a little girl weeping under a cherry blossom tree. She had pink hair, green eyes, and pale skin. Her clothes were soaked to the bone. Her soft pink hair was pulled in all
directions. And her eyes…they were so dull, like they lost the meaning to this world. She shuddered and let out a pitiful cry. She then whispered 'stupid huge forehead'.
If only I could help her but Okasan said not to talk to strangers. Okasan wouldn't know right? I made my way up to the girl and sat next to her. I wasn't good at cheering people up; hopefully my presence would make her feel better. I heard her gasp and she whipped her head towards me. She gave me those questioning eyes and tilted her head. I opened my mouth ready to speak but I immediately shut it closed. I didn't know what to say. What if I hurt her by accident or what if she doesn't want my help? I felt heat rising up to my ears, which I quickly hid under my long raven bangs. Almost magically, she laughed. It was beautiful, the sound of chimes and a soft melody. My head shot up and I felt my eyes widen for a second. Her eyes had a strange twinkle. The girl's eyes were a color of forest green. There were dark hues and light hues within those emerald orbs.
I abruptly said "You're forehead isn't huge". She stopped laughing and smiled. "Thank you", is what she said. I felt myself blush and she surprised me by a peck on my cheek. She too had a light blush. We stayed silent for a minute. I gained the courage to ask her name. The silence was very awkward. "What's your name?" we both asked. We both laughed and said jinx knock on wood. "My name is Haruno Sakura", she said quietly. She sat staring at me, waiting for my answer. "Uh…I'm Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke", I said while fumbling for the right words. "Nice to meet you Sasuke-kun", she said slowly making sure she had permission to add an honorific to my name. I remembered that my fan girls also added 'kun' to my name. Normally I wouldn't allow most girls to say my name with 'kun'. But when Sakura said it…it sounded just right, like it was meant to be. "Same here…Sakura-chan?" I questioned for the right to add 'chan' to her name. She nodded and looked at the tall clock that stands in town.
As if she knew, the clock stroked midnight. I didn't know that the time passed by so quickly. I was worried that this would be the last time I would ever see Sakura again. I remembered that Okasan gave me two matching necklaces of our clan's symbol, one with a lock and the other with a key. She told me that if I ever meet a friend and want to keep a friendship with them, I should give them a friendship necklace. I gave Sakura the necklace with the key. Sakura quickly put it on and nodded her head. She knew what these meant. In our village a friendship necklace represents loyalty and trust. It is also represents alliances between two clans. I slipped the necklace onto my neck.
"Promise me you will always wear it", I said with pleading eyes. I knew that Itachi-niisan would come looking for me and take me back to the evil mansion. "I promise", she said with eyes filled with determination. She too knew that she would be taken away from me. After all, I'm the king's youngest son. My family would never allow me to marry or even be with a village girl. That thought saddened me, knowing that we would be separated in this society. Hopefully when the time comes, I could marry any girl I want. The lights in the village were flashing. Someone got the news that I was missing. We both quickly bid farewell and fled back to our homes.
Unknown to Sasuke, his wish came true. Itachi got married to a princess of another royal kingdom. His parents allow Sasuke to marry anyone he wishes.
Yay! This is my first fanfic that I will be writing over the summer. It might take really long to write Chapter 1...I might have summer school. (I passed all my classes with 90's so don't worry) When you have Asian parents, they make you study and give you after school tutoring classes. -le Sigh- Oh well, I hope you look forward to the next chapter.
