I am still very sorry for the discontinuation of Demons.
Plagiarism really does affect us all.
I do hope that this story makes it all up somehow.
I hate to have to disappoint my supportive readers.

Sakura sat on a bench nearest to the library while reading a book she had just checked out. She turned each page slowly, resting her chin on her hand, trying to be interested in what the small-fonted text were telling her.

After a few more minutes and realizing the attempt was going nowhere, Sakura put down the book and sighed. Her friends, who are also her roommates, went off on their school club meetings today, leaving Sakura to loiter near the library all by herself.

Bored out of her mind, Sakura scanned the huge quad and searched for the boy of her dreams, Sasuke Uchiha.

For about six years, Sakura has been hopelessly in love with the great, Sasuke Uchiha. Ever since the 6th grade, the very sight of the charcoal-eyed handsomeness was enough to make the pink-haired maiden forget to breathe.

No words were even spoken between the two, only hesitant, distant glances. It was apparent that the two shared strong feelings for each other, maybe even more, but there was nothing direct to prove the fact.

So for six years, including today, not one said nothing to the other.

Ever heard of the term "So close, yet so far"? Well these two not only heard of it, but they also knew it, and knew it well.

To make things even more complicated, the huge lack of communication caused the two destructive ambiguities. Sasuke perceived that one of Sakura's guy-friends is her boyfriend, and Sakura perceived that one of Sasuke's girl-friends is his girlfriend. For Sasuke, the guy most presumed would be Sai. For Sakura, the girl most presumed would be Karin.

Thinking one has moved on from another, Sasuke and Sakura had also spent years of their lives trying to get over the other.

But to their dismay, it was to no avail.

Sakura jumped and blushed when Sasuke's stare fell upon her figure. Intending to hide from his gaze, Sakura got her book back up to her face and pretended to read.

From the distance and where the onyx-eyed male was situated, "C'mon Sasuke!" Naruto urged his flushing masculine friend, "It's been six years! When are you gonna ask her out?"

"I don't know okay?" Sasuke complained, "I just…Just leave me alone!"

"Yeah because that's what's getting you somewhere all these years," Naruto noted sarcastically.

Pushing his friend towards the pinkette, "Talk to her at least!" Naruto urged again, "its better than pretending she doesn't exist and then dying of the curiosity of what could've happen if you acted like she did!"

"I can't just talk to her!" Sasuke opposed, "She has a guy an-"

"You don't even know that for sure!" Naruto contradicted, "You can't just believe everything people say!"

"I know!" Sasuke snapped. Sighing, "I…just can't face her," Sasuke frowned.

"Why not?" Naruto asked.

"I," pausing, "I don't know," Sasuke pathetically finished.

Shoving his friend towards the pink-haired girl, "Then you have no excuse," giving his friend one last push, "Just talk to her," Naruto requested.

After receiving that shove from his tall blonde friend, Sasuke stared at the said girl that sat in a bench from the distance. His eyes grew wide as he observed how nature touched her already flawless exquisiteness. His cheeks flushed at the sight of the wind caressing the soft pink locks on her shoulders. He froze as her pale, soft hand softly turned every page of her thick, tedious-looking book. He finally stopped breathing when the sunlight flashed glitter in her green, diamond eyes.

She is perfect… too perfect.

He always did wonder what it would be like to have her in his life. He always wondered what it would be like to talk to her, hold her, and make her smile to him that angelic gleam that she was known by many for having.

The perfect Sakura Haruno was always in his reach, but for some reason, he never had the courage to reach out and take her.

Taking in Naruto's words, he realized that the bothersome blond was right.

If Sasuke Uchiha wants the great Sakura Haruno, then he should work to get her. It does not matter anymore if she rejects him for pursuing her.

It is better than not knowing what could've happened if he did not.

Turning to his patiently waiting friend, "Alright Naruto," Sasuke tiredly smile, "I'll do it."

Grinning widely before patting him in the back, "You go get her man!" Naruto cheered, "I'm here for yah!"

Chuckling, "Thanks Naruto," Sasuke acknowledged before facing the goal that taunted him from the distance.

Quickly, but stiffly, Sasuke made his way towards the girl of his dreams. Every step closer to her made his heart beat faster. His head became foggy and suddenly, he found it very hard to breathe. The reverberations of the daily school lunch day were blocked out from his ears, and the only noises his ear drums could receive were the pounding of his blood-pumping heart.

Time flew past his eyes when he blinked, and he suddenly found himself in front of the breath-taking girl. The atmosphere became thick, and then suffocating when the pink-headed angel looked at him with her glistening, jade eyes. Sasuke knew that if nothing was done soon…he really did not know what would happen.

He opened his mouth. The words that came out of his thin, slightly-chapped lips were the hardest words he had ever spoken.

"Hello Sakura"
