Summary:
It has been almost 3 years after the war. Sakura and Sasuke are together. If only Sasuke would propose to her it would be complete. But the thing is, the Uchiha doesn't even know how to propose. Just Sakura, don't make any mistakes soon! (SxS NxH)
What She Wants
Chapter 1 – Prologue
OTP- SasuSaku
"She wants you there immediately, Sakura." Sakura heard from her communicator.
"Yes, Kakashi-sens—"
"Former sen—"
"You will always be my teacher, Sensei. So just stop with the former sensei junk."
He chuckled. "I'll let you go. I will check up on Naruto and Sasuke today for you, since you're busy."
Sakura heard sounds of the shower starting. She lifted herself up from the bed and ran her fingers through her pink hair. She walked to the bathroom door and knocked on it.
"Sasuke-kun, is that you?" She spoke loudly enough for him to hear.
"Hn"
"Okay. Well I got to head out soon. Kakashi will be calling you down soon to meet up with him I believe."
"What's going on..?"
"Nothing I just have to go see Tsunade and I will be busy, ja ne!"
"Bye" He still never had been known much for words.
Sakura looked at her clothes, still wearing his big navy blue t-shirt. She went to where her clothes were flung across the room last night. She pulled off his clothes and put on her navy blue long sleeved shirt and her Jounin vest with her spandex shorts. She wouldn't be seen in his clothes or people would suspect the suspected.
This is true though.
She is in a comfortable, serious relationship with Uchiha Sasuke for over 2 years now. They had gotten together two months after he was out of house arrest. They were 17 by then. Now both 19.
Naruto had been undergoing training to becoming the hokage soon enough. The elders still didn't trust the fact of an 'underage knucklehead' would be fit enough for the job. But Naruto kept on saying he was going to prove them wrong, them all wrong.
She believed in him.
Soon after the war Sakura made sure Hinata and Naruto had ended up together. Seeing her truly confess her love for him when he was on the verge of losing the battle against Pain she knew, she knew Hinata loved him. Sakura just felt guilty for allowing Naruto to be blinded by her, blinded by Sasuke's pain.
As of now, they are happier than ever. Naruto keeps on saying he is going to propose when he becomes hokage. If he becomes hokage he can prove to her father, Hyuga Hiashi, to be accepted to marry Hinata.
The word propose always comes to Sakura's mind though.
When will Sasuke get the guts to get on his knee and ask for her hand in marriage?
"Men…" Sakura said silently as she was near the Hokage's office.
As a side note, the village has been restored since 2 years ago. The smell of fresh leafs and cut grass ran through the air replacing the smell of wood.
Konohagakure finally settled back into how it was years ago. How it was back when they were Genin.

"You may enter!" Tsunade called out. The door had opened to reveal Sakura.
"Sakura, I been expecting you."
"Gomenasai, Tsunade-shishou"
"It's alright, Sakura." Tsunade tapped her finger on her desk, noting Sakura to come forward.
"I have a mission for you to carry out. It is a single mission and I find you would do perfect for it."
Sakura looked at Tsunade, surprised. The only closest thing she got to a solo mission was when she fought against Sasori back when she was 16. But if it wasn't for Lady Chiyo. She'd be dead. She still had that one scar on her stomach from when Sasori stabbed her. Reminding her, to protect anyone in harm's way.
"Well Sakura, you up for it?"
"Hai!" Sakura bowed her head before her master.
"Now since that's settled. Get a good night's rest tonight and you will be on your way tomorrow morning. 8 am sharp!"
Sakura was giddy. She wanted to scream on the top of her lungs! She reached her apartment and grabbed supplies for her mission in the morning. It had been an B-Ranked mission.
She made sure to grab her medical bag and her weapons. She arranged them with the clothing she was going to wear the next day.
After she was done with that she clapped her hands together once.
"I should tell Sasuke-kun..!" Sakura ran towards her door and opened it.
But to her surprise she found—
"Sasuke-kun, what are you doing here—?" He was still in his Jounin vest
"You weren't at the offices, so I came here to see if you were here. Guess I was right." He said blankly.
"Uh, y-yeah." Sakura blinked her eyes. She walked back into her apartment.
Sasuke took a seat at her wooded rounded table, as Sakura stood in front of him.
"Why did she summon you?" Sasuke asked, casually.
"Nothing big really," She laughed nervously, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her.
"..?"
"D-do you want something to drink?"
His looks turned blank, "No."
"…oh"
"Why are you making this awkward?"
"Awkward? I thought you were the one that wasn't supposed to feel anything."
"Aa"
"Sheesh"
Silence…
'Sakura, think of something..!'
"I heard there was going to be a blizzard soon…"
"Hn"
"Uh…" She looked down, "And it is going to be really cold."
"…"
"… I am going on a mission in the morning."
"What..?" Sasuke looked at her with his eyebrows narrowed.
"Yeah… it is solo too."
"Rank..?"
"B"
"Sakura, I can't let this—"
"Sasuke-kun I will do this no matter what you say." Sakura stood her ground.
"Let me go with you"
"No"
"Sakura"
"It is a B-ranked mission for a reason! I am just going undercover to get details on a gang of ninja!"
"A B-ranked can be easily turned into an A-ranked if you get caught."
He treated her like she was stupid. "I know that, Sasuke-kun."
"… I am going to speak to Tsunade about—"
"No Sasuke-kun..!"
"You should know the last time you were sent on a mission like that, right?" His eyes grew angrier.
"That was against the Akatsuki..!"
"And you had a team."
He made her feel so weak, so vulnerable.
"…"
"What did the man leave you with?"
"A scar…" Sakura took in a deep breath. "I am stronger now, Sasuke-kun. I will be fine."
"Every time were together at night, I look at your scar… I want to see him die again, and again." He mumbled underneath his breath.
"Well, not everyone gets their way," Sakura walked away from him, "you can see yourself out."
"You're not going."
"I will be back before you know it." She turned to him slightly, and smiled flakily. "Please leave"
"…" He stood up from the chair and walked out of the apartment. As the door shut Sakura felt tears weld up behind her eyes.
He still saw her as weak as she was back when she was 12 years old. He will never accept her as a Jōnin ranked Kunoichi.
"Bastard…" Sakura cursed behind her sobs.
All she wished for was to be accepted by Sasuke for once.
