Signs
Sasuke POV

There has always been a reason, a reason for everything, even the way of love.

We all know, I, Uchiha Sasuke, have a thousand suitors. Some women… some… I don't really want to know. The reason why I never entertained any of them was mostly because…

...I waited for signs.

Holy, divine, miraculous… whatever you want to call it. I have always anticipated some God-given message. Something, something to make me say… 'This is it!! She's THE ONE!!'

So one faithful day…

… I got that sign.

FLASH-BACK

I waited, thinking to myself 'whoever comes with a flower to me today is definitely THE ONE'

The first: Ino

"Ano, Sasuke-kun! Would you like to take a bite of this precious Rice-ball specially made for you?"

!!X!!

The second: Sakura

"Sasuke-kun!! I made you a paper airplane!! …and if you look closely, I wrote the words 'SasukexSakura' on it…"

' --;; paper airplane??'

!!X!!

After an excruciating day of waiting and shattered hope, I decided to give up on my sign.

But… just then…

"SASUKE!!"

From the bushes came Naruto, carrying with him, a single blue flower.

"Oi! Look what I found! A blue magic red flower[1]!! I'll sell it and you won't get any share!! Bleeeeh!!!"

Flustered, I thwacked him in the head…

"D-dobe!!"

END FLASH-BACK

After all, I didn't really specify if THE ONE would be a girl…

END


A/N: err… oh well

[1] Blue magic red flower: This originally came from the game "Harvest Moon". They bloom red, but there is an occasional blue flower that blooms rarely. You can sell the blue flower for a lot of money. The true purpose of Naruto was to make Sasuke jealous of his bounty.
