Sasuke's brilliant onyx eyes sparkled with dawns early rays…his face as bright as the morning sun.

"Sakura…there is absolutely no way to bring Itachi back. Itachi is dead. Everyone close to me is dead! Everyone except three people. Naruto, Kakashi, and…you." I gasped.

"What are you trying to say?" Sasuke sighed.

"I love you."

"I love you too, but I want you to be happy. Itachi would make you happy right? Let me bring him back."

"Sakura, I KILLED HIM. Yes, I do somewhat regret it…but I won't loose you to gain back the man I spent my whole life trying to get rid of!" I blushed.

"You really do love me…don't you?" He grabbed my shoulders tightly.

"I wouldn't lie about that." He grumbled harshly, his eyes quickly beginning to shine red. He looked at me intently.

"Sasuke…I…" His gaze was too much for me. I lost it. Before he could stop me my lips were on his. His grip on my shoulders loosened and his tongue demanded enterance, which I allowed. We kissed feverishly for what seemed to be an eternity before he pulled away.

"Sakura, listen. Forget Itachi…that ship has sailed. Rebuild my clan with me."

"Sasuke…" I didn't know what to say. His eyes were burning with a passionate fire that told me he was very serious. He got closer to me, his sweet breath hot against my ear.

"Marry me." I wrapped my arms around him tightly, this deep incredible warmth welling up inside me, as if my heart were about to burst.

"Hai." I whispered breathlessly. With that he kissed me hard, full of lust.

"I truly do love you." He whispered. The wind blew his hair gently, making his face seem tender, almost child-like.

"I love you too." Sasuke Uchiha…the love of my life…and I couldn't believe he'd just proposed. Out of all the girls chasing him, I won. It was a magical feeling that I'd never experienced before. I was about to become Sakura Uchiha. I felt more than honored. I loved Sasuke with all my heart. Every time he touched me it sent my body ablaze, every nerve on fire, like he'd hit me hard with his fire style Jutsu. I couldn't wait to become his wife. He picked me up and carried me to his house, laying me down on his king sized bed. He bent down and kissed my forehead before climbing into the bed and laying beside me, entwining me in his arms.

"Sleep well, love." I drifted off into a euphoric dream about starting my new life with Sasuke. I awoke to a note on Sasuke's pillow.

Sakura,

Gone to the training grounds. Be back by noon.

-Sasuke

I tugged off my Kimono and ran myself a hot bath. Sasuke had a rather large bathtub, and he had sprinkled rose petals in it. There was another note taped to the sink.

I thought you'd enjoy the petals.

-Sasuke

I smiled to myself. Sasuke had a romantic side that he rarely ever showed but when he did he never failed to impress me. I stepped into the steaming bath after dimming the lights and lighting some candles. The rose petals made me wish Sasuke was in there with me.
