Where Is the Love?

Wasn't this her dream? Her life-time goal, to win him over? Well, what if it wasn't at all she expected? That she'd done more than enough for him.. And if he pushes it too far? One thing she's wondering. Where is the love?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Would you like to give it to me for a birthday present? My birthday's coming up! XD

This was her dream come true.. Wasn't it? So, why was these tears falling? She was walking down the isle, either of her arms linked with her 'Sensei' Kakashi, and the other, with her beloved teacher that gave her strength, and powers to heal, Tsunade. Her mother and father's presence were not here this very day. Their presence was long gone 3 years ago, when they had been ambushed on a mission. Her dress was mopping around on the floor, pooling down at her legs, the tail of the dress stretching out a good 5 feet behind. The yellow and white flowers she held in her hand, brang out the pale color of her dress. And her veil, making the tears unvisible to the others.

She approached the altar. Her linked arms was soon to be just her arm. She glanced to her right, there he was. Her husband to be. Beside him, his best man, his best friend. Uzumaki Naruto. And on her left, was her maid of honor, Yamanaka Ino, and her bride's maids; Hinata, TenTen, and Temari. There they all were, slight smiles on their faces, yet, their eyes flickered with sadness. Her maid of honor flashed a sad smile to Sakura's way, earning another one in response.

Her hand was handed to him. To her soon to be husband. "You take care of her." Kakashi said in a light voice, yet, in a demanding manner. "Of course." Was Sasuke's reply. They approached the altar together, arm in arm. When they sat theirselves down in front of the priest, Sakura raised a hand to wipe away the delicate tears that rolled down her face. When she had thought of where she was this moment, why she was doing this, and if she was happy.. Tears lined her eyes, the stinging of them not going away any time soon. Her heart-strings pulled, telling her this isn't what she was to be doing. Yet, her mind disagreed.

She knew that listening to your heart was the first choice. But this time, her mind was the first choice. She had to. She had to be his friend. His companion. One that he could live with for the remainings of his life, starting from this very day, from the very kiss to come. Sakura blinked away the tears, and swallowed. It's going to be alright. She thought. Yet, the ramblings still went on in her mind.. How she got here in the first place.. And why she had accepted.

It was.. Complicated? You can call it. She'd been waiting for this her whole life. But, when the proposal actually came.. It wasn't as she'd expected. And her love had wavered then. "Marry me, Sakura." He told her. Not asked. He told her. Sakura nodded dumbly, tears getting ready to fall. She knew that this would come. This question would come someday. When that fan-girl ran away from her body, she knew that it wouldn't work out as love. She was smart. She was strong. She knew that this would come. Sakura was the only woman that Sasuke trusted. So, here she is. Accepting this life long mission, to deliver young Uchiha's to the world. To rebuild the Uchiha clan.. To make one's goal, and dream to come true. He'd already avenged his clan, and now wanting to rebuild it.

This was another beggining to another life. For both of them. So now, as the priest asked them for their vows, Sasuke began, holding Sakura's left hand in his.

"Sakura, to this day, I promise to stay by your side, and to help you when you are weak and sick. I will love you, even when your hair turns gray, and I trust that you will deliver healthy Uchiha's to this clan. The money that I have inherited, will be shared between you and me. There is no rules between this love, it's going to be you and I from now on. I will accept you through whatever, and you will always be my only one. You're mine, I'm yours, and that's all we need." He said shortly, and flatly.

Sakura began her vow. "Sasuke, I take you, this very day, to be my honorable husband. I will guide you when you are lost, and I will stay by your side through all we will go together. I will always be the first thing you see in the morning, and my hand is the one you'll hold when we gaze down at a new member of an up coming family. I will love you unconditonally, and never will my love waver. There will always be two times I want to be with you. Now, and forever." She ended. She couldn't lie that most of this was true.. Yet, some of it wasn't.

Now, the priest looked over to the both of them. He glanced at Sasuke. "Do you, Sasuke, take Sakura to be your lawfully wedded wife, through richer or poor, through sickness and health, and through whatever may come?"

"I do."

"Repeat after me," The priest began. "I, Uchiha Sasuke, take Haruno Sakura to be my lawfully wedded wife, through richer or poor, and through sickness and health."

"I, Uchiha Sasuke, take Haruno sakura to be my lawfully wedded wife, through richer or poor, and through sicnkess and health."

The priest nodded. He turned towards Sakura. "Do you, Sakura, take Sasuke to be your lawfully wedded husband, through richer or poor, through sickness and health, and through whatever may come?"

Sakura's tears began to roll down her face, seizing her cheek. She gulped. "I do."

"Repeat after me," The priest again began. "I, Haruno Sakura, take Uchiha Sasuke to be lawfully wedded husband, through richer or poor, and through sickness and health."

"I, Haruno Sakura, take Uchiha Sasuke to be my lawfully wedded husband, through richer or poor, and through sickeness and health." Sakura's voice was slightly trembling.

The priest glanced over to them, and nodded. "I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha!" He exclaimed. "You may now kiss the bride." He looked over to Sasuke.

Sasuke gently lifted Sakura's veil, revealing admirable jade faded eyes, and a sweet, delicate face that could easily be pasted in front of any magazine. Sasuke looked at her, and studied her. His eyes glanced down. Her body was slim, gentle and delicate. She filled out all in the right places. His gaze traveled back up, meeting her eyes. He swallowed. He filled the space between them, with a short, chaste kiss.

When they had parted, Sakura let out a sigh that had been dying to come out. It wasn't the kiss of her life, but a kiss of promise. A kiss that sealed this life-long promise.

Now, as they walked out arm in arm as husband and wife, her eyes couldn't help but let out a few tears. She glanced up into the sky before stepping into the white limo that had flowers in the front and back. I hope you're proud of me, Mom, Dad.She thought. She stepped into the limo, readying for the upcoming reception.

The night went well. Their first dance was to'First Love' (A/N I love that song!) Sakura's eyes brimmed with tears, soaking Sasuke's shoulder. Her dress was slender, and it complimented her curves. Her dress was a pale, pale, green, that brang out the color of her eyes. It was strapless, and hugged her body like a glove. Her hair was up in a simple bun, a small tiara crowing her head. Small diamonds hung from her ears, and a beautiful necklace with the same diamonds on her earings framed on her neck.

Her scent, was strawberry's. Her make up was light, eyeliner on the top lid, and mascara. She need not to put on heavy make-up, since her face was like that. She had natural beauty.

The rest of the night went smooth, and Sakura had a well.. delightful time, you could say.

Their honey moon, to one of the islands where lovers went in Japan, was smooth. They had small talk, shared a bed, some kisses were shared, yet, Sakura couldn't feel the connection. Everytime their gazes locked, and their eyes met.. She would ask herself, Where is the love?
