Misconceptions

Dear Sasuke-kun,

It has come to my attention that you may be under a few misconceptions I thought I would so graciously clear up.

Do you remember the day you came home? I'm sure you do. I doubt you could forget that hard of a hit, especially from weak little Sakura. Oh, but just so you know, I didn't punch you because you deserved it or anything (you know for leaving my on a god-forsaken bench- not that I'm bitter or anything), I only punched you because I just wanted to "act" strong.

I didn't heal you when you returned because it was my duty as head medic either. Oh nooo, that was because I couldn't stand to see you suffer.

Oh and when I gave you the cold shoulder whenever you tried to talk to me (not that I constitute grunts as attempts to talk to anyway. Really now Sasuke-kun, you should expand on your vocabulary) for months after your release from the hospital, it was wasn't because I had nothing to say to you (again not bitter); it was because I wanted to prove to you I wasn't the same Sakura you remembered.

Yeah, and I forgave you for everything- the coldness, the betrayal, the shattering of my heart into a thousand little pieces and then proceeding to stomp on them. But it's not that I forgave you because the broken smile Naruto held when I turned him down for ramen just because I knew you would be there crushed me more than your cold grunts (polysyllabic words just once, give it a shot, k?) ever could. It's because I couldn't stay mad at you (yeah keep thinking that).

And ever since you're returned, I haven't asked you out on one date, have I? (No, I don't need you to reply to this and answer this question either. It's called rhetorical) I'm sure you already know that it's not because I'm over you and your purple ass ribbon (I really don't care if you don't wear it anymore Sasuke-kun, that thing will haunt you for the rest of your life if I have anything to do with it), it's because I'm afraid to be rejected again.

The night that I showed up for your house shouldn't be a misconception either. It wasn't because I was injured and it was raining outside. It couldn't possibly be that I needed shelter to be able to heal my own wounds (or that fact that it was freaking cold outside) and I was low on chakra as it was. Nooo, it was because I needed you. I needed you to make me feel better (because we all know how good you are at that one Sasuke-kun).

Finally, we've reached the main misconception that has been brought to my attention. It seems that apparently I train with other guys not because I want to get stronger, but because I want to make you jealous (seems to be working no? I'm sure you never thought that itty bitty rumor would end up at my ears did you?)

Oh, but of course we can't forget that main reason why I'm writing you either. I'm not writing this to tell you how extremely wrong you've been about my motives ever since you've returned to Konoha, it's because I love you.

How wrong you are,

Sakura

Sakura smiled wickedly as she looked at the letter before her. This would show that egotistical bastard for assuming what her motives are. Maybe, just maybe, he would stop trying to twist reality into what he wishes. Then again, he may actually think everything in the letter was true. As If. Like he had been right about all of her motives, and for him to think she still might love him...

She let out a small sigh as a single tear strolled down her face.

It was.

Everything she had wrote was.

A/N: So this is a possible two-shot. I don't know if I should leave it like this or what. I was considering writing Sasuke's response to Sakura's letter to make it a two-shot, but I don't know. What do you think?
