Important Author's Note...Read...
Author's Note: This story came up after watching this very funny movie of whose name I forgot. I don't want to go into much detail about it, but the style of writing in this story is different from my other stories. Basically Sakura is narrating the story and she meets with someone and continues her story to that person. If you could figure out who that person is...then..eh...you get a prize...don't know what prize...maybe a cookie?? Anyway, if you've ever seen the movie "The Princess Bride" my writing style is going to be like that. It's gonna skip between the actual story where Sakura is talking to this person and the past. There will be a lot of craziness and surprise in this story...so I hope that you really like it. At least 10 reviews before I continue. Thank you. .
P.S. If you loved Confessions of a Teenage Konochi, then you will love this story. Hint...Hint...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...Barbie and Ken...The Princess Bride...or that movie of which I can't think of the name...I do how ever control the fate of all the charters in this story...let the craziness begin!
Sakura's Unusual Wedding
Ch 1.
Sakura: Runaway Bride
Sakura's Pov
I dreamed of this day my whole life. What little girl wouldn't? I always pictured myself wearing the perfect dress, walking down the aisle to a man who loved me with all of his heart. A smile came across my face. Without a doubt I would say that today was the best day of my life...except for the fact that this was a very unusual wedding. How unusual you may ask? Well...how does walking down the aisle to not one, but 3 potential grooms sound to you? Yea...I could almost guess that you have an odd expression on you face, believe me, I understand...imagine my position! By the time I reach the end of the aisle, I have to choose one of them to marry. Currently I was walking as slow as humanly possible. The lady playing the wedding tune had played the song over and over again for the past 10-15 minutes. With every minute passing by, I could hear the tune being played an octave lower then the last time...and judging by the look on her face...when I looked in her direction every now and then..she would give me this very peeved and annoyed look. I wouldn't blame her at all, I could see the guys at the end of the aisle give me a very impatient look.
At that moment I felt like shouting at all of them to just cool it. Except for one of the guys, the others weren't the ones getting married and what's more so, was that they weren't the ones who had to make the most important choice in there life in such a matter...so I have every right to be having a mental break down at this point!!
"Kakashi." I whispered as I continued to look forward. I could see from the corner of my eyes that he looked down at me. I shook my head slightly. "What have I gotten myself into? How could I agree to such crazy demands?"
I could hear him chuckle softly and that only made me frown. "I'm sorry Sakura...it's just that this is a very unique situation. I'm afraid I really can't think of anything at the moment." He said truthfully.
I sighed deeply upon hearing that response. "It's hopeless." I moaned as I looked down. I paused for a second as I looked up at him again. I stopped walking and upon doing so, the music stopped. I heard a loud sigh coming from where the lady sat. I could hear gasp and chatter of mass confusion from everyone in the room.
I could feel my heart beating wildly. I never felt this panicked in all my life. "I...I..." I shuddered as a looked up at Kakashi.
I could see a small outline of a smile on his face as he nodded his head. "I think the best advice I have to give you...now that I think about it..." He paused as he lowered his head near my ear. "Do what you think to be right.
My eyes widen slightly when he said that. My frown then deepen. "But...I..." I turned to look at the guys waiting for me down the aisle then I looked back at Kakashi.
"They will understand. This is a very stressful situation. You are the one that has to make this life long choice. Don't rush into something that you will regret." He said in a serious tone.
I just stood there staring at him. What he had said made a lot of sense. I just didn't know what to do it I made the wrong choice. I don't ever want to think of divorcing...my parents were still together...even when they died several years ago. So...who ever I marry now...it's for live.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as a smile formed across my face. Without another word, I turned on my heals and just started running. I heard the guys call out to me to stop...some other guest called out for Kakashi to stop me. I didn't pay them any mind as I busted through the double doors, down the hallway and through another set of doors. Before long I made it outside. The wedding took place in a catering place in the middle of the park. So I decide to at least stay in the area...it was a beautiful day and all. Plus I still intended on getting married today...just currently I needed to think!
I saw a park bench not to far away from me. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth. My feet were starting to kill me! These shoes were NOT made for running! Once I reached the bench, I just fell back on it. I breathed in and out heavily until my breathing returned to normal. For the first time that day I felt this heavy weight being lifted off my shoulders. As my thoughts started to wonder, I just barely notice a girl around my age taking a seat next to me. I didn't pay her any mind and strangely enough, neither did she. I don't know...to me I was curious as to why she didn't even ask any questions. You see a young girl in a wedding dress all by herself. Yea, I would ask regardless if it was improper or not. Curiosity can get the better of anyone I guess. As I turned my head to look at her, I got my first good look at her. She had a dark olive completion and the most smoothest skin I've seen yet. Her hair was a dark brown color almost black looking, yet when the sun had hit it just right, it had these deep red highlight under this rich brown color. It was also wavy and fell about an inch above her elbow...the same length as mine. The outfit that she wore was a short black skirt with black knee high boots and a fitted red t-shirt. I didn't notice any ninja head band on her, so I assumed that she was not a shinobi.
Besides her apperence, I notice that she had a troubled expression on her face. I couldn't help but feel concern for her despite my own current situation. Against by better judgment, I decided to find out what's wrong.
"Hey there..." I called out to her. It took her a second or two before she turned her head towards me. I gasped slightly. She was very beautiful! It seemed as if her whole face glowed with radiance despite the sad look on her face. She tilted her head slightly giving me a puzzled look as I quickly tried to gather my now scattered thoughts.
"I...I know I don't know you or anything...but I just noticed how sad you looked. I know it may seem weird to you and all, but I don't mind hearing what you're troubles are." I said with a warm smile. My smile remained frozen on my face, even while she gave me a blank look. I was slightly concerned by her silence. Maybe I was a bit on the rude side? I mean, it wasn't exactly what I was thinking about saying...but...I just couldn't stand being around anyone when was sad or depressed! I guess I should thank Naruto for that.
She continued to give me a blank look. Oh come on now! It's not like I committed a crime or anything. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked, completely confused.
I saw as her eyebrow rose and a smirk appeared across her face. Something told me I was not going to like what she was going to say.
"I find it...strange...that a woman in a WEDDING DRESS, who mind you is not at her WEDDING, is currently more worried about someone else's problem rather then her own."
I didn't bother to say a word to say a word as I gave her a look on my own. Much to my surprise, the look on her face soften up a bit and she then laughed softly as a warm smile came across her face. "I'm touched." I tilted my head in confusion as she continued. "Let's make a deal. If I talk to you about what's bothering me, then you have to explain to me why that beautiful dress is going to waste ok?"
My face soften up as a smile of my own came across my face. "Hum...it seems fair enough to me. But first what's you're name?" I asked.
Her eyes widen slightly when I asked her that and her mouth was shaped in a small 'O'. "Oh, I'm sorry, My name is Aki? What's you're name?" She asked politely.
"My name is Sakura, it's nice to meet you Aki." I said as my smile widen. Why does that name sound so familiar?? I mentally asked myself.
"Likewise." She said with a small nod of her head.
"So," I began "What happened?"
A thoughtful look came across her face as she took a minute to think. "Well," She began sighing deeply. "I...I just found out that my boyfriend cheated one me." She said as she lowered her head.
My eyes widen in shock. "Oh my gosh!" I gasped. I noticed that a single tear started to roll down her cheek. She sniffled a little as she wiped the tear from her eye.
"I ended our relationship about an hour ago." She paused as she drew in a sharp breath. Just then I noticed that now a flood of tears were flowing down her cheeks. "What's worst is that it was with my so called best friend." She added bitterly.
"No way!" I said as my eyes narrowed. "What a jerk! Both of them! That was so wrong!" I said as I shook my head and crossed my arms under my chest.
"Even if I broke up with him, it's still hard you know...we've been together for 2 years now...and I've known him since we were kids. I thought we would be together forever." She said as her tears began to dry up.
"Yea I do know." I muttered under my breath. "Sometimes it doesn't work out that way...you don't end up with the one you expected to be with..."
Her head shot up as she turned to look at me. "Right...now that I told you my problem, you have to tell me yours. From the looks of it, it looks complicated."
My eyes soften up a bit as I looked at her. I shook my head as I laughed bitterly. "Complicated in a complete understatement." I said with a smirk.
"How so?" She asked as she leaned forward slightly, I could see that she was egar to hear my story.
I sighed deeply as I looked back to were the catering hall was. "A month ago..." I started as I looked back at Aki. "I was just as happy as you must have been with your boyfriend. I was getting ready to marry the man of my dreams. Gosh...I loved him. Since we were kids I used my Barbie dolls to pretend that Barbie was me and Ken was him." I paused as the memories cause me to laugh softly. "My other dolls and teddy bear were the guest and family and I used the Dream House as the place were we were to get married."
"Ha Ha Ha!" Aki laughed as she held her sides. "I'm sorry Sakura! But that is so cute!"
"Yea I know." I said with a smile. "So imagine how thrilled I was when he finally proposed to me."
"Yea." She said as her laughter died down and a warm smile appeared across her face. It soon disappeared into a serious look. "Hum...sounds like you found your match. But...what I still don't get is...why are you here and you're not with him?"
I paused for a second before I spoke. "Because..." I said in a low voice. "We aren't getting married."
"Wha?!" Aki gasped with widen eyes. "What happened? If you aren't getting married with him then why on earth are you in a wedding dress??" I could see by the look on her face that she was completely perplexed with this new finding.
"Well...that's just it, I am getting married." I said with a small smirk and a shake of my head. I had to laugh when I saw the look on her face. I honestly never saw anyone with their face twisted like that! I could see that she was beyond confused at this point. "I guess I have to go a bit further back in the past to explain."
"You think?" Aki said in a some what sarcastic matter with a raised eyebrow.
"You see...the man I was suppose to marry...he well..." My voice trailed off as that awful day came back to the forefront of my thoughts. I shook my head as I closed my eye...even if it was only a month ago...it still felt like yesterday to me. "Last month, I caught him cheating on me." I said in a low voice.
I saw Aki's eyes widen in disbelief. Before she could ask any questions, I decided to continue with the story. "As I said, it started about a month ago. I was so stressed with getting things ready for the wedding. I wanted to make sure it was all perfect. Sasuke, my ex, and I haven't spoken to each other for a few days. Since we lived in our own apartments I decided to take a break from my busy schedule just to spend time with him..."
Flash Back 1 Month ago...
She had her arms full. Although it's meant in a literal way, it was also to be taken in a figurative way. Who ever said planning a wedding was easy either never participated in the planning of a wedding or they just simply lived in a world of disillusion. She had only one more month and the days were passing by quicker then she would have liked. Currently she had a bag full of food in her arms and the biggest smile on her face. For weeks she was busy obsessing over the little things that she kinda abandon Sasuke...
"Wait a minute." Aki interrupted.
I rose one of my eyebrows as I looked at her. "Yea?"
"But...but if you and Sasuke aren't getting married...who are you getting married to?" She asked out of curiosity.
"That doesn't happen yet. Don't worry I'm getting to that...just try not to interrupt unless it's really important...ok?" I said as I saw her nod her head in agreement. I took in a deep breath before continuing. "As I was saying..."
Currently it was early in the afternoon, so she figured that he wasn't home. They both gave each other spare keys to their apartments. So planning this surprise was just that much more easier on her part. As she climbed the stairs of his apartment complex, her smile widen ever so slightly. It was like she was a child in the middle of a candy store. Before I long, she finally reached the apartment...arms killing her and all. She pulled out her keys from her pocket...she was so thankful that she was smart enough to put the keys in her pocket instead of her purse. It was so much more easier for her to get it this way. She placed the key in the lock and slowly opened the door. As soon as she opened it though, she got hit with this sudden uneasy feeling. It puzzled her as to why she suddenly felt like that...so she just ignored the feeling and walked into the apartment.
The apartment was dark and quite. Just as she expected. She closed the door behind her locking it in the process. She effortlessly made her way to the kitchen without the need of turning on any lights. It wasn't that dark and she didn't think it was necessary to open any lights that weren't needed.
As she walked into the kitchen, she turned on the lights and started to unpack food from the bag. That's just about when she heard IT. She was busy putting away things when she heard a sound. She paused as she silently wondered were it was coming from. When she didn't hear anything further she brushed it off as being nothing and continued with what she was doing.
About a minute or two passed before she heard the noise again. This time it really caught her attention. It sounded like moaning. Sakura rose an eyebrow as she dropped what she was doing to investigate. Curiously for most people is very normal...however with Sakura...curiosity is her worst enemy at times. As she walked closer to the back of the apartment...where the bedrooms were, the sounds became louder. What's more is that it was coming from Sasuke's room.
Sakura froze in her spot as she stood just outside the closed door. For reasons unknown to her, something inside her told her not to open that door and to just turn around and leave. Heck what she really was thinking about was to leave the apartment all together. Although that feeling was strong, it wasn't strong enough to prevent her from her further actions.
'He was probelly watching some Adult movie and forgot to turn it off.' She reasoned with herself.
'Yea but wouldn't the tape stop automatically after awhile?' She thought logically.
She continued to stare at the door as she conflicted with herself about opening the door or not. It didn't take long before she made up her mind and opened the door. Upon doing so, she immediately regretted the desission. It was a sight that no woman should see before her wedding. See squinted her eyes. Maybe her mind was playing tricks on her? Just to be on the safe side, to make sure her eyes weren't playing cruel tricks, she decided to flip on the lights. What she saw brought about mixed emotions.
She saw Sasuke, her finance mind you, completely naked and on top of their wedding planner. It was quite obvious that she likewise was naked...so she couldn't use the 'Oh he forced me' excuse. Thought she doubted that what ever they would have said regarding their current position she would accept. In short...there was absolutely no excuse. Both Sasuke and the wedding planner looked at Sakura in complete horror as it took them a second to realize the position they were in. Immediately they jumped off from each other. The girl covered herself with bed sheets while Sasuke scrambled to put on his boxers and shorts. The whole time Sakura stood frozen in her spot. She had no clue what to do. She was too shock to move or cry and was too angry to form any words.
The next couple of actions to take place were done without much thought to it. Her body moved and she obeyed. Sasuke and the girl were puzzled and shocked when Sakura calmly and quietly walked out of the room. A couple of minutes later she walked back into the room with a pitcher of ice cold water. However, that wasn't what freaked them out. The thing that scared them was the very f act that from the minute she caught them, she didn't say a word and she had an eerie calm look on her face that was so unnatural.
She slowly made her way towards them as they backed up into the corner. When she had them in that corner, she threw the ice cold water in there faces...but she wasn't done just yet. She then slapped the girl so hard she feel to the ground. She then turned her attention to Sasuke who looked at her with widen eyes. She paused for a second as the two looked into each other's eyes. Her eyes narrowed as she took off the ring he gave her and simply threw it in his face.
"It's over." She said in a low voice as she turned on her heel. "Oh...and Sanako.." She turned her head slightly revealing a smirk on her face. The girl who was still on the ground looked up at Sakura with angry eyes. "Have all the fun you want. It'd be a waste of my time to deal with trash like that." She said as she head towards the door.
"Oh yea?" She heard the girl call out and she stood up and faced Sakura with a peeved look on her face. "That comment only comes from a low life like yourself."
"Sanako..." Sasuke said in a low voice.
"Only reason he did this was cause you weren't giving him any." She said bitterly.
"Sanako...stop." Sasuke said in a warning tone.
Sakura stopped at the door when she heard that. She had her back towards them. "No...let her continue." She said quietly.
"Sakura..." Sasuke said as he looked at her and Sanako. He took a small step back as Sanako continued.
"All you were worried about was the wedding this and the wedding that. You hardly took time to consider his needs and it just so happen that while you were off doing who knows what, I took advantage over the situation...giving him everything you were lacking to give him." She said with a smirk of her own.
For a second, Sakura remained silent as she still had her back towards them. She took in a deep breath before she spoke. "And you call me a low life? Someone who has to resort to stealing another womens men are..." She turned her head to look directly at Sanako. "...lower then the crap of pigs." With that she turned her head and left the apartment with out another word leaving Sasuke and Sanako in complete shock.
