SasuSaku: A Broken Promise Chapter 1: Sasuke Meets Sakura
Have you ever had someone... that they'd promise to marry you when you turned eighteen?
Have you ever loved someone... that they'd break their promise to marry you... by abandoning you in the village?
Well... that's me.
Hello. My name is Sakura Haruno. About a year ago, my childhood crush and later fiance, Sasuke Uchiha promised that he'd marry me when we'd turn eighteen. But however, he broke his promise. And you want to know why?
That's because he had to go to Orochimaru. So... I don't know who to blame... Sasuke... my fiance and lover... or Orochimaru... the man that gave him the Curse Mark?
Well... now Naruto is gone... Naruto was Sasuke's best friend and rival... at first, he tried to convince Sasuke to come back to the village... but sadly... it was too late. Sasuke had already gone back to Orochimaru while leaving an injured but later recovered Naruto back to the village.
And so... I write this story to you... while I wait for Naruto to come back with Jiraiya. I am now fourteen years old. My name is Sakura Haruno... and this... is my story.
It all started with a fateful meeting... at school. The class was making fun of Sakura for her big forehead... well, everyone except for a little 7-year-old Sasuke of course.
"Forehead Girl! Forehead Girl! Forehead Girl! Forehead Girl! Forehead Girl! Forehead Girl!" chanted the class as Sakura ran out of the classroom crying as Sasuke went to go chase after her.
When he finally found her, she was sitting on the bench where Sasuke would leave the village six years later to go to Orochimaru.
"Hey... aren't you the girl that they're always teasing because you have a big forehead?" asked Sasuke as he went to go sit down on the bench next to Sakura.
Sakura then looked at Sasuke and asked through sobs:
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. We're also in the same class together. Who are you?" asked Sasuke.
"Sakura... Haruno." mumbled Sakura.
"What? What did you say? I can't hear you. Let's try that again. Who are you?" asked Sasuke again.
"My name is Sakura Haruno!" cried Sakura.
"That's better. So this is the big forehead? Well it does look kind of big. Is that why you hide it with your bangs?" asked Sasuke as he touched Sakura's forehead.
"That's dumb. You can't hide it like that. It makes you look like a sheepdog." said Sasuke as Sakura began sobbing.
"Sakura, isn't it?" asked Sasuke.
"Uh-huh." said Sakura.
"Hey, Sakura... I have a present for you. But come meet me here tomorrow again, all right?" asked Sasuke.
"What?" asked Sakura.
"What's he going to show me? Well... I guess I better meet Sasuke tomorrow morning." said Sakura to herself.
