Never Enough

Disclaimer:if I owned Naruto every akatsuki would be alive, and sakura would be with them!!but she's not…:.(

I'm not sure where my life is headed, but only God knows that. Life is faced with many choices, and as long as I make the right one, I should be fine. But, there's one question that bugs everyone; what is the right choice?

Chapter 1: The First Snow

Sakura Haruno couldn't wait for the day to be over. She glanced at the clock only to discover that she still had a half-hour left of class. On her left, this kid named Shikamaru had his head slumped on his desk, with a pool of drool in front of his mouth. A fat guy, Choji, was on his other side, poking his head with a pencil. Rolling her eyes, Sakura took in the seen behind here; a boy named Naruto was in a fighting stance, urging a guy named Neji to fight.

"Come on you know you want to! I haven't had a bowl of ramen for at least an hour and I need something to get my mind off of it…and I bet you couldn't hit me anyway…" Neji was planning on looking cool, and ignoring him, but that last comment sent him off. He dived on Naruto, who was fully prepared, and sent a full-powered punch to Neji's gut. There was a crowd gathered around them, and the majority seemed to be cheering for Neji; actually when Sakura looked closer, everyone seemed to be cheering for him.

"Okay, boys that's enough, the bell's about to ring," Kakashi, their math teacher finally pulled the boys apart after having a long nap in the corner. Apparently, he was some big genius, but he was yet to show a hint of knowing anything besides being late and sleeping.

BBBBRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!

Sakura grabbed her books, and rushed to her locker. As she was about to open it, this retard comes running by, and knocks her face onto her locker door. Rubbing her nose, she looks around to see that everyone just continued walking by, not even acknowledging that she exists. But, she didn't care. She was used to it.

Sasuke Uchiha was a troubled soul. Of course he got everything he wanted, he was spoiled beyond imaginable, and had a mother who loved him and made sure he felt cared for. But, that wasn't enough. He had an ass brother, who was always at least ten steps ahead of him, and made sure he knew it. According to Sasuke, Itachi was the worst brother anyone could be cursed to have. Everyone else thought that Itachi was the perfect sibling; strong, intelligent, polite, handsome, etc, etc. This is the very reason Sasuke despised him. Itachi was always showing off his strength and intelligence, he was only polite with strangers, friends, their parents…okay, everyone except Sasuke. And, in Sasuke's opinion, he was the opposite of handsome. And his dad favoured him.

This was probably the worst day of Sasuke's life (and that's saying a lot). Said man used to live in a beautiful, big mansion, in the middle of no where, and was home-schooled by his mom, Mikoto. Sasuke liked living like that, because there was no one around (cough-itachi-cough) to bug him. The Uchiha's had two mansions; one in the middle of no where (where Sasuke and his mom lived) and one in Konoha (where Itachi and his dad, Fugaku lived). Sasuke was used to getting everything he wanted, and when he heard that he would be forced to move to Konoha, to get more experience with being around other people, he was furious. His father said that if he wanted to be worthy of the Uchiha name, and get a good job when he gets older, he will have to move into the city. Sasuke was already mad enough, and when Fugaku said that he would have to attend a public school, he was ready to kill someone; that someone happened to be Itachi. Imagine, living in the same house as Itachi Uchiha for…well…ever!

And that is why an angry, murderous 16 year old stood in front of his new home with his mother nervously making friendly comments on the weather to cheer him up, and maids scurrying everywhere, making sure their Sasuke-sama was alright. And, just to make everything much better, a certain individual who made all the maids blush and scurry around faster, and his mother squeal in happiness, happened to walk out of the house.

"Well, foolish brother, it has certainly been awhile."


Sakura sighed as she walked by the Uchiha mansion, as she does everyday. It was about twenty times the size of her own house, and that doesn't include the endless amount of land surrounding it. In her opinion, the Uchiha family could be described in one word: perfect. Rich, famous, handsome…the list could go on.

But, all her wonderful thoughts ended when she turned onto her street. It was too…normal. It was all two-story houses, with regular families doing regular things. A couple people were taking out garbage, some were raking leaves, and some were already putting up Christmas lights! In a way, Sakura was glad to live in a normal street, and have the average amount of money. It made people closer together, strengthened bonds…but she'd still rather be rich.

The wind was freezing, and the sky was full of clouds. Maybe she should put up Christmas lights too, before it snows. She turned around to get them from the garage, and at that exact moment, a black, and extremely expensive looking car (al-sorry I don't really know much about cars, so I'll leave the rest of it's appearance to your imagination) drove by her house, and she was about to look away when an important detail caught her attention; the back license plate said Uchiha on it! Sakura checked that no one was looking, and set off after the car. She wasn't stalking or anything, it's just that no one ever saw the Uchihas, and she would try and get a peek every chance she got. From what she has seen of them (in magazines and the news papers) they were gorgeous. In one of her magazines, it says that Itachi Uchiha lives in the mansion near her, but she's never actually seen him before.

Sakura was starting to get excited. The car went through the gates, and parked in front of the garage! She slowed to a casual walk, pretending she was going for a walk and happened to be passing by the mansion. She was cool. She was completely calm. But, her cool façade immediately dissolved as the occupants of the car stepped out. First, a random servant person, another servant, three security guards, and then Mikoto Uchiha stepped out of the car! She looked so beautiful! It took a lot of self-control to keep herself from screaming. But, the person who came out next made her eyes go wide, her jaw drop, and faint into a bush. The Sasuke Uchiha just stepped out of the car!!!! Oh my God!! She had to muffle her scream with the inside of her elbow. She was sweating, and her stomach was burning (in a good way), but she peeked her head around the bush and there he was…his face was mesmerising, it was so much better than the magazines…she was going to have to tell her friends at school about this! Oh ya, she didn't have any friends…but she wouldn't let that bother her at the moment. She was trying to memorise Sasuke's face.

But, what happened next was too much to handle. I mean who would stay conscious after seeing Itachi Uchiha walk out of the house!!!! And then Fugaku! This was torture! She got off the ground, and shakily peered around the bush again. Itachi Uchiha was the most beautiful man she has ever seen…she squeaked. Loudly. The whole family turned to where she was standing, and she quickly ducked behind the bush. She thought no one had seen her, but little did she know, Itachi had known she was there since he stepped out of the house. Sasuke hadn't, but he thought he saw a flash of pink before she darted behind the bush. Mikoto, Fugaku, and the maids were completely oblivious.

Not wanting to be discovered, Sakura got up from her hiding place and shakily walked home. Too much happened to her in one day. By then, it was about 6:00, and she remembered to put up the Christmas lights. Her family was very festive, so it was about 8:00 by the time she finished. She walked to the end of her driveway, and admired her work. Red and green crystal lights were hanging everywhere, there were lit-up Christmas trees in the window, there was a wreath above every window and the door, and a Christmas train was riding across the roof. She also decorated the front tree with white lights, and those lit-up reindeer were scattered across the lawn. She let a satisfied sigh escape her lips.

Just as she was about to move towards her house, she felt a cold, wet sensation on her nose. She looked up to see that the first snowfall of the year had begun, just to make her hard work even more beautiful.
