Uhm... yeah I dunno where this is going to... I just had this random idea... so yeah that's it.
And uhm yeah before I forget, sorry for the grammatical errors. I typed this using notepad because word is wasting my time and I find it really troublesome to copy and paste and check the spellings and terminology etc.
So forgive my laziness...
I don't own them PERIOD
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Dozens and dozens of trees seems to pass like blurs of green and brown shining as the rain washes over them with its overwhelming intensity.
Just.
A little bit.
More.
Four shadows roamed the forest jumping from tree to tree with great accuracy. Making it all seemed like they're flying.
Almost.
There.
Slowly a familiar village became visible beyond the millions of trees surrounding it; every step makes it clearer and clearer. The symbol of fire drenched in raindrops.
Konoha.

It's been 8 years since everything became what it is now. A lot of things have happened and quite frankly I'd rather be back 8 years ago when my life is far from worse and closer to peace. Back then when I had all the opportunity to turn around and walk away.
Hmm... Yeah 8 long years of pain. Tsk. it's actually too long for someone normal to keep such pain inside of her but hey, I'm not that normal at all. I'm haruno sakura, 20 years old jounin and hunter nin, one of the great genin 12, head medic of konoha hospital and anbu squad captain hunting down s class criminals, one of konoha's perfect weapon, the top apprentice of the legendary slug girl, the one who surpassed the abilities of one of the legendary sannins, specialized in the art of assassination and healing though it sounds very contradicting, and as kakashi sensei and naruto and the mob of guys hunting me down keeps saying, drop dead gorgeous and pleases every eye that sees her and undoubtedly one of the most lovely faces in konoha.
Yep. That's me. Haruno sakura.
err... wait I forgot the most important part, the next uchiha clan member, soon to be married to one of the two remaining members of the said clan and will soon be the bearer of the uchiha heirs. I'm haruno sakura and I'm the great uchiha sasuke's girlfriend.
hn. I know it sounds really unbelievable but it's actually true. I became his girlfriend after he came back from the otougakure ending orochimaru, his sensei, the insane pedophile of the legendary three and his mad quest for eternal life and today is our first year anniversary.
It's already 7:00 pm and right now I'm in front of a full length mirror looking stunningly beautiful and very desirable and yes I'm waiting for him to arrive. we were suppose to meet 6 hours ago to celebrate our anniversary but I guess I'm not enough to keep him entertained that's why he preferred to have that mission exactly 2 hours before the arranged time. I really wanted to protest but I know better than that. If I did protest then he will just have to cancel this whole 'celebration' thing and leave without looking back and I don't want that now do I?
I saw my reflection in the mirror smiling sadly towards who else, me. Even though I'm with uchiha sasuke, every woman's desire, often than not, I still feel pitiful and alone... too sad and pathetic. This relationship was indeed a product of his perfect mind. His selfish mind that only sees for the future of his clan and not for any one else, not even me.

He had casually asked me to help him revive and bring the glory back to his clan the day when he came back. no sweet nothings, no promises of love and devotion not even a white lie just to make me feel all warm and cozy inside but just a straight question which only needed to be answered by a yes or a no. at first I was really shocked and felt really confused, I unconsciously asked him why, why of all people would he choose me to be that person who'll bring the uchiha clan back on top when, when he had always been out there for the past 6 and a half years searching for his insane brother. He had all the time in his own little world to find the best of the best and marry her, then why me? My question was answered with yet another question, why would I have to do that. he asked me that the same way he had proposed if you call it 'proposing', same cold, deep, onyx eyes looking, if I didn't know any better I'd say he was looking right past me as if I don't exist. I was already in the verge of breaking down and accepting him with arms wide open but when I looked up to him the instant happiness had been washed out the moment after it sink in, washed out and had been replaced by chills and instant sadness.
Indeed, 'instants' don't last long.
It disappears even before you had the time to reach out and touch it.
There were no feelings in his obsidian orbs, no loving gaze, no pleadings in his eyes, no hopes, but just an empty stare, a calm and empty stare. Calm, empty, annoying stare.
When the silence stretched out too long for his desire, he had spoken up just above a whisper, so I guess the offer doesn't stand anymore. Maybe it wasn't meant for me to hear it but I did. And I hate my self for being attentive.
That time, I really wanted to turn around and pretend that I didn't heard what he said but my stubborn feet wouldn't move. My thoughts came back to the night he had left to seek power. I had offered him everything, all that he needed to have and a lot more, maybe even more than I could give him back then. I offered him my self and promised to help him in any way that I can. I should've thought about that before giving such an incredible offer. An offer that favors him and totally disregards my rights. But hey, I didn't think that he was actually listening to anything that slips out of my lips that time. Well, I guess sai was right after all, uchiha sasuke is a total asshole and I've been fooled long before I knew it.
I turned around trying to act as if I don't give a shit about that little offer he mentioned but I know that that offer still stands somehow, though it's not really about love or affection anymore unlike before, when I still thought about pointless things such as love, devotion, affection, truth and forgiveness. Before when I thought that pleasing him will eventually make my day and just marrying him will make my life the best among the rest. Such pointless things fill a child's mind but I'm neither a child nor that little girl anymore. I'm a proud woman who is adored and loved by everyone and anyone even the ones I assassinate. They all give respect to this god given gift and even if this gift is the last thing they'll ever see and the smell of cherry blossom will be the last scent they'll ever smell they still keep that adoring glance, bathing their eyes with the angel tainted with their blood. Somehow thinking about it made my heart feel all chubby and pleased. Even if they'd lost their lives in my hands they'd still give me those unwanted appreciations.
An angel, you are one.
hn. Yes I am, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna take away your life. Because now that you've laid eyes on me
You don't have the right to lay your eyes to something or someone else.
Those eyes are mine now and you'll die with your eyes on me.
But this person, this man behind me. Never in my life did I ever saw a little or something close to acknowledgement for me or my existence in his eyes. The only thing I see in them is annoyance and pity towards me. Apathetic look or sometimes, disgusted. But even though I feel totally under-estimated in his presence I still feel that little sense of duty for his well-being. I still feel that somehow I need to accompany him towards his goal, that he needed me to guide him and help him with his dreams. That mission I bestowed upon my self the moment I woke up in that bench without uchiha sasuke trailing behind me, following me back to the village, back home.
Logical thinking had been blocked out, reasons and questions had been stubbornly turned down, all annoyance and hatred and sarcasm deleted, my mind went blank and my body moved on its own and suddenly I found my self looking back and telling him that the offer still stands.
He nodded, slowly turning around and walking past me towards the opposite direction of his house. The road leading to mine. I'll walk you home. He said as he past me giving me a light push forward and I nodded in agreement, walking for the first time in almost 7 years... by his side.

And that made a perfect sense. I said yes in the oddest possible way. But I did so anyway.
Now I know that I suck at decision-making.
Ok there yah go. I'm sorry if the story is a little annoying. I really don't know what came into me. Anyway, if anyone finds this interesting, just drop me a review and I promise to upload a couple of more chapters. Gomen again for the grammatical errors and such. I'm still going to type the upcoming chapters in notepad it's easier to open and yeah, I'm such a lazy bum.
