Chapter One; Reunited
Alright so just a few quick things, for all of you that have favorited and followed me, yes I'm alive! I've just been very busy this summer. Still having writer's block for the Harry Snape story, (sorry) but I plan to be getting back to Jeannie and Doctor Who soon. Anyway, this is an idea that's been bouncing inside my head for a while now.
I'm not a hundred percent sure about Boruto's and Himawari's character since I just really got introduced to them, so forgive me if they seem a bit out of character but I'll try my best. As I wrote in the description, I HATE Sarada! I'm sorry for all of the Sarada fans out there but I created Sasame way before she was thought of and I'm sorry but I think Sasame's cuter. Her name was based off another character in the Naruto show Sasame Fuma, but it is pronounced Sauce-ooh-may in here instead of Sauce-a-may or however they pronounced it on the show since it's closer to Sasuke.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and please don't forget to review!
Sakura rushed to her front door excitedly as the doorbell rang. "Sasuke!" she exclaimed but quickly found to her disappointment that Naruto was on the other side of the door. "Oh Naruto, it's just you." She said while she slowly hung her head in despair.
"Well it's good to see you too Sakura!" he grouched.
"Look, I'm sorry alright? It's just that I was expecting somebody else." She told him.
"I know! I know!" he hollered back at her. "I get it! Sasuke coming back today and you're really looking forward to seeing him again! I am too! But that doesn't mean that you should forget the fact that it's my wedding day." He told her.
"Uh,.. what?" she questioned him with uncertainty while she widened her eyes unexpectedly.
"Oh no, don't tell me that you've forgotten all about it. Come on Sakura, I've been excited about it for weeks!" he snapped.
"I know and I'm sorry Naruto. It's just that Sauske_" she began before he cut her off.
"I know that's all you ever think about! Sasuke Sasuke, Sasuke!" he hollered out of sheer annoyance.
"Hey! You're one to talk! Until he decided to come back the first time that's all you ever seemed to talk about as well!" she cried.
"Well yeah, but that was only because I made a promise to you that I would bring him back for you and unlike you I never break my promises!" he snapped before he quickly turned his back on her and folded his arms. Then he turned his nose up into the air. "Hmph!"
"Oh come on Naruto don't be like that. Just because I forgot that it was your wedding day, it isn't the same thing as actually missing it." She told him.
"No, but you would have if I hadn't reminded you of it." He pointed out sneaking a glance over at her before she heaved a deep and heavy sad sigh and hung her head.
"You know what, you're right. I'm sorry Naruto. I forgot that it just isn't a big day for you, it's also special for Hinata." She said.
"You've got that right! Hinata means the world to me and I definitely don't want to disappoint her." He said.
"I know." Sakura began giving him a slight nod. "Hinata's a lucky girl. She's been in love with you probably as long as I've been in love with Sasuke. The only difference is that I know you would never hurt her. I guess I was sort of wrong to turn you down without giving you a chance. You've really impressed me you know." She told him smiling warmly at him.
"Thanks Sakura, but you know, I wouldn't give up on Sasuke just yet. After all, I believe he's changed. You can make up for not giving me a chance, by giving him a second chance. Just listen to him and hear what he has to say before you make up your mind whether or not you want to dump him." He told her as she nodded again.
"Alright Naruto, thanks I will." She began. "Listen, you shouldn't keep Hinata waiting. I'll catch up with you later alright?" she inquired.
"Alright, see you later Sakura!" Naruto cried before he turned around and ran away while waving to her over his shoulder as Sakura smiled at him while she watched him.
"You really are going to make a great hokage Naruto." She thought to herself.
…
Sakura was busy making her way to the wedding ceremony when all of a sudden she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Hey Sakura!" she stopped dead in her tracks before quickly spinning around on her heels and saw her former sensei (and current hokage) Kakashi standing there.
"Oh." She began. "Hello Kakashi-sensei, I mean Lord Hokage." She said.
"What's the matter? You don't seem all that thrilled to see me." He said while she slowly started to hang her head again.
"No it isn't that. It's just that I thought you were someone else." She told him.
"Oh I see, that person wouldn't happen to be Sasuke would it?" he questioned her.
"How did you guess?" she asked him back even though she was pretty sure that she already knew the answer.
"Well, that's funny because Sasuke's right here with me." He told her before he stepped aside and allowed her to see that in fact Sasuke really was standing beside him. Sakura gasped and gaped her mouth wide open with astonishment while they both stared into one another's eyes. "Anyway, we better get to the wedding. Normally I don't believe that being punctual is all that important." He said.
"You can say that again." Sakura muttered under her breath.
"But in this case, I think that I'll make an exception. After all, it's a really big day for Naruto and Hinata." He said before he turned around and started walking away.
"Hi." Sasuke began.
"Hi." Sakura said quietly before slowly turning her head away from him.
"What's the matter? You don't look as happy as I thought you would be to see me. I told you that I would be back didn't I? I promised you that I would." He told her.
"I know." She began. "It's just that_" she said before Kakashi stopped and turned back around to look at them.
"Hey, are you two coming or what?" he asked them as Sasuke nodded.
"Hai. If I missed my own best friend's wedding, he never would let me hear the end of it." He said as Kakashi chuckled before Sasuke started following him. Sakura breathed another heavy sad sigh as she watched him go.
