So read it again or you might be lost.
Sakura's POV
People say that there is only one special person out there for you. Well, my 'special' person left me behind seven years ago. People kept telling me to just let him go. I try but, do you know how hard it is to let go of someone that you actually told them that you love them? People also say that love is a good thing. Well I disagree with that statement. My 'love' for him was anything but good.
I, Haruno Sakura will not allow myself fall in love again. Love causes nothing but pain and sorrow. Naruto and Hinata have something great. But to me it's not love, it's attraction. Hinata has been attracted to Naruto ever since are academy days, but it was nothing more than an infatuation with the blonde.
Naruto eventually saw that attraction that the Huuyga heiress had for him and returned the same feelings. But it wasn't love, not in my eyes. Ino and Sai are interested in each other, and it's kind of awkward. When they are in the same room as each other, they can't keep their hands off of each other. Kiba and Temari say they are in 'love' so I won't say their not because frankly, the wind mistress scares me. Neji even said that he loved TenTen in front of the whole Rookie 9, but again all 'love' is, is a bunch of empty words trying to attract someone that you are attracted to. I hate sounding like a downer, but that is just my way of seeing things.
During the six years that the he left, everybody changed, including myself. I grew to become one of the strongest kunoichi in Konoha, best medic, even surpassing the Hokage herself. I also became more quiet, I don't talk as much. People say I'm hurting because he left, but in reality, I just don't have anything to say anymore. Don't think that I'm depressing or anything, I know how to have fun.
Even if I say I won't fall in love, doesn't mean I can't be attracted to someone, right?
Regular POV
A nineteen-year-old Hinata ran down the streets of Konoha avoiding all the obstacles in her way, with a huge smile on her face. She ran up to a small apartment complex and ran up the stairs, completely ignoring the clerks, to room number five on the third floor. Without even knocking the Huuyga heiress opening the door.
"Sakura!" she yelled for the pink haired girl.
"Hinata?" Sakura asked coming out of the bathroom wrapped only in a towel.
"Sakura!" Hinata yelled even louder hugging the girl and jumping up and down.
Sakura held her friend down by both shoulders while still managing to hold up the towel. The pink haired girl had never seen her friend this excited and happy.
"What makes you so bubbly?" Sakura asked while walking back in the bathroom.
"He purposed!" she squealed while jumping on the bed.
Sakura came out a few moments later dressed in a light purple v-neck spaghetti strap shirt and some short jean shorts. When she came out she was smiling and pulling up her waist long hair in a messy ponytail. When she finished messing with her hair, she jumped on her best friend.
"So how'd he do it?" the medic-nin asked lying beside the heiress.
Hinata explained how Naruto blindfolded her and took her to a small river surrounded in Lilies and many other species of flowers. Then Naruto went over to the Lilies and brought some back to her, which she happily accepted. Next Naruto brought her over to a large Weeping Willow and pulled out a picnic basket from one of the branches. Surprisingly what Naruto pulled out was not Ramen. Instead the blonde brought out Onigiri, Domburi topped with guydon, Chazuke, Oden, Sukiyaki, Shabu-Shabu, Tempura, Tsukemono, and a few more dishes. To Hinata's surprise was that Naruto cooked all the dishes himself, and they were good. Next Naruto brought out some herbal tea and two wine glasses. Before Hinata took a sip of her tea, she spotted a diamond ring at the bottom of the glass. Naruto then knelt down on one knee before her and asked 'Hinata, I love you more than anything. Will you marry me?'
Hinata's little story made both girl giggle and squeal. Both girls sat up and Sakura engulfed her best friend in a bone crushing hug.
"I'm so happy for you." she whispered.
"Really?" Hinata asked looking into her eyes.
Sakura just nodded and both girls started to jump up and down together.
After about an hour and a half talking about what Hinata and Naruto were going to do, a knock interrupted their conversation. Sakura walked up to her apartment door and opened it revealing the blonde himself. They both looked at each other and then gave each other a hug.
"I finally did it!" he said not noticing his fiancé' in the room.
"I know." she whispered.
Then Naruto noticed Hinata and blushed like there was no tomorrow.
"S-sakura. Tsunade w-w-wanted t-t-to see y-y-you." Naruto said not able to talk without stuttering.
"Just don't mess up my apartment." Sakura teased as she ran down the steps before Naruto could say anything.
The pink haired medic-nin made it to the Hokage tower just in time to see a chair fly out into the hallway. Next she saw two scared chuunin running out of the room before they got themselves killed. Sakura let out a small laugh and continued to walk into her sensei's 'room.' Right after she walked in Konoha's laziest genius followed her in.
"You're both late." Tsunade said leaning against her desk since she no longer had a chair.
"And you're drunk." Sakura replied trying not to laugh.
Tsunade ignored her student's comment and grabbed another chair and sat down. Minutes passed and nothing was said between the three.
"Tsuande-sama?" Shikamaru asked.
"Oh yes, sorry, I forgot you two were here. Anyway, the two of you have a mission. There have been problems going on in non-shinobi countries and they need someone to patrol their areas," she said handing them scrolls. "All the information you will need is in there. You leave tomorrow at six." she finished.
Shikamaru and Sakura made their way out of the office and found it awkward between the two since they never really talk to one another.
"So." Shikamaru tried to start up a conversation.
"Would you like to do something?" Sakura asked.
"Sure. What did you have in mind?" the shadow user asked.
