Hey ppl

Hey ppl.

Well I had quiet a few good reviews from my other story that I decided I would start this story as soon as I could. I'm sorry to those who have read 'Before you forget me' and wanted me to write another chapter, but I'm not adding one. I have so many story ideas in my head I'd like to get some of them started.

Now as for this story I don't really want to get to many flamers from ppl but Itachi and Ino are together, so that obviously means that Itachi didn't kill the clan and so on and so forth.

Any way enough of my jabber! Here's my new story!

Sasuke's face hardened as I stood there in front of him. I felt completely naked as his angry coal black eyes flared into my tear-blurred ones. His arms were crossed as if he was trying to block me out. I balled my fists and tried to toss my dishevelled hair out of my face 'I can't believe I lost.'

"Sasuke, you idiot!" I shouted, voice shaking. Sasuke just continued to stand there like a brick wall, uncaring and unmoved. "Can't you see I…"

"Shut up Sakura," he growled, sounding so unlike himself. My jaw dropped and more tears welled up in my eyes.

"Can't you see I love you?!" I finished and whirled around. I ran through the halls of the house blindly and cried out as I collided with Itachi. He was coming out of his room when I smacked into him, not able to see through the blur of wetness covering my vision. Itachi gasped and stumbled back into the wall, but I kept running. I just wanted to get far away.

"You're just a fan girl Sakura!" Sasuke's emotionless voice followed me out the door. "You don't know what love is!"

Three years later.

"So, you're definitely coming?" Ino's tone sounded hopeful. I twirled the phone cord around my finger and bit my lip. 'Should I?'

I took a deep breath, "Yes, I'm really coming Ino pig." I tried to sound as enthusiastic as possible. The line stayed silent for a moment, Ino was trying not to retaliate to her childhood nickname.

"Are you going to talk to Sasuke? You know, patch things up?"

"No," I growled dangerously, blood starting to boil. "I've had quiet enough of that dickhead."

"Please, Sakura." Ino begged, "You don't have to like him, but he will be my brother in law soon."

"Sorry," I mumbled, meaning it more as an apology for Ino going to have him as a brother in law. Ino's mood turned back upbeat.

"It's okay! Hey listen. When you come for the wedding, we can get together with Hinanta and…"

Ino babbled on but I kept thinking of Sasuke. 'It's been so long.' I hadn't talked to him ever since I stormed out of his house nearly three years ago. Shortly after that whole ordeal I had moved to the Sand village to study their medical procedures. Home was just a hop, skip and a jump away, but I decided on taking a bus. I had quiet enough of being a ninja, especially because Sasuke had beat me in battle that day. That was something I wasn't prepared to lose. It was the only chance I had to make him love me and I blew it.

I stopped doing missions after that day, but I still train a bit now and then. I just wanted to be normal and not have to be a ninja just to get a guy to like me. Dating was scarce for me here, but I didn't care. I was still hopelessly hooked on Sasuke. I doubt if I'll ever love anyone else besides…

"And Sakura? FOREHEAD! Are you listening to me?!"

"Uh, yes! Go on Ino, go on!" I smiled to myself and shook my head. Ino picked back up and I looked down on my bed. I picked the bus ticket up in my hand and sighed. 'Here goes nothing.'
