Perfect, Yet not so perfect

Hey, this is my first fanfic for Naruto. So be nice. The pairing will be a love triangle between Itachi/Sakura/Sasuke. Oh yeah this is an AU fic. So the characters may seem a little OC. So sorry… Well on with the story… Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. And if I did this wouldn't be on and I would own Sasuke, Itachi, Neji, and Kakashi! And most of the guys on Naruto. Hehe…

"Sometimes life may seem perfect, but in the end nothing is ever perfect." A young woman named Sakura read from her book.

Sakura was a bubbly 18-year-old woman; she had bright pink hair, beautiful emerald eyes, and a body any girl would envy. But one thing that all the girls hate her in school is her boyfriend. Sasuke Uchiha. Dark jet-black hair, onyx eyes. He was one of the most popular guys in school. He was cool and collected. And his oh, so famous smirk and glare would make all the guys hate him and all the girls love him. Yep, Sakura and Sasuke had it all. Well at least they thought so.

Sakura looked up into the sky and laid down to watch the clouds. (A/N: sounds like anyone we know?)

She stared up in the sky and thought 'Life couldn't get any better than this could it?'

Just then a voice intruded her thoughts. "SAKURA! Where are you!" She heard a voice call her name.

She got up and walked over to her best friend Ino. She had long blond hair, and bright blue eyes. Ino was popular just like Sakura but just a bit more annoying then her. "Hey Ino." Sakura greeted.

"Don't you 'hey Ino' me? Where were you? You were suppose to eat lunch with us." Ino stated.

"I was reading my book." Sakura simply answered.

"You and your books and school work. You need to loosen up." Ino replied.

"Well I am going to study medical stuff so I need to be on the top of my grades. Besides University is not far. So I need to work hard." Sakura explained.

"Where do you plan on going?" Ino asked.

"Umm… I plan to go to Tokyo or the U.S if I'm lucky." Sakura answered.

"What about Sasuke then?" Ino asked Sakura.

"I'm not sure… I mean its April already. So if I have to, I'll break up with him." Sakura carefully answered Unsure of Ino's reaction.

"ARE YOU MAD GIRL?" Ino yelled.

"No, why would you think that?" Sakura questioned.

"Well first of all, its Sasuke we are talking about. And if you break his heart do you know how many enemies you are going to make?" Ino answered. "And besides I heard him talking to Naruto and he said he might ask you to marry him. He loves you, how can you throw that away. If I didn't have a boyfriend I would call you crazy."

"I'm not crazy. I'm sure Sasuke won't ask me to marry him. I mean we're both still young. We still have years to think about marriage. I'm sure I won't make any enemies because they'll be happy I broke up with him. Now they at least have a chance. Well at least I think so." Sakura laughed.

Ino sighed, "Okay, whatever you say. But don't say I didn't warn you. Besides, why is the university so important to you anyways?"

"It is because I care about my future. I know it's not the greatest answer but I just do. I mean I still am questioning love. I have a future and I don't want to be tied down to Sasuke. I mean I think I might love him but I'm still unsure. I want to be free like a bird until I'm completely sure he's the one, or I just want to experiment on love first." Sakura explained.

"Well I still call you crazy." Ino replied. "Just don't do anything you'll regret okay?"

"Ino, everyone in this world has done something they regretted. Even me." Sakura said quietly.

"Okay whatever you say." Ino responded.

Just then the bell rung. Students hurried to class. Sakura grabbed her books to go to her class. "Sakura-chan!" She heard someone call her name.

"Oh hey Naruto-kun." Sakura replied to her other best friend. Like Ino he had blond hair and sapphire blue eyes sparkling. But unlike Ino, he is a male and is really hyper active.

"I was wondering what you were doing tonight?" Naruto replied.

"I have my singing and piano lessons. Right after school I need to go to the hospital for my volunteer work. Why?" Sakura asked

"I needed help to buy Hinata-chan a present. Its our three year anniversary you know." Naruto informed her.

"Well I'm sorry Naruto-kun I can't help you. I'm really busy tonight. Why don't you ask Ten Ten or another person?" Sakura wondered.

"She has soccer practice, and I don't want to ask Ino. She's a loud mouth." Naruto replied.

"Why don't you ask Neji-kun then? I mean he is Hinata's cousin after all." Sakura suggested. (Neji and Sakura are good friends in this story… just wanted you to know.)

Naruto grinned, "Thanks Sakura-chan. You really helped."

"No problem Naruto-kun. Glad I could help." Sakura smiled.

She had chemistry, she quickly ran to her class. 'Damnit, I'm late.' She thought. She walked her class the teacher replied, "Glad you could join us Haruno."

"Sorry sensei." Sakura mumbled.

The girls in the class snickered. She sat down beside Shikamaru (sp?) he had brown hair tied up in a ponytail and dark brown eyes. (A/N: I'm not sure. So tell me if I'm wrong.) Who was her lab partner and took out her notes and copied them down. For the rest of the class was like that for Sakura.

The bell rang and every one quickly scurried to their next class. She had English with Kakashi sensei. 'I wonder how late he's going to be today.'

She went to her locker and gathered up her books. She smiled; she had a feeling it was going to be a good day. "Hey Sakura!" A voice called her name.

"Hey what's up?" Sakura asked.

"Oh nothing much, I just had to give you this note. Sasuke told me to give you this." Ten Ten answered. She had dark chocolate eyes and dark brown hair in two buns.

"Okay, thanks." Sakura smiled.

"No problem. Any time. Oh yeah, we're still hanging out with the gang tonight. Just thought I'd tell you." Ten Ten replied.

"I'll be late." Sakura responded.

"Okay, see you later!" Ten Ten shouted.

Sakura opened the note. It said: Hey Sakura, meet me in the library right now. I have something to tell you.

She sighed, 'Well better get going to the library.'

Sakura walked to the library. She found Sasuke. "Hey." She greeted.

"Hn." Sasuke replied.

"So what's up?" She asked.

"Sakura…" He trailed off.

"Yeah…" Sakura wanted him to continue.

Sasuke thought, 'Tell her now! Before she leaves. You know this is like your one and only chance to do this. She's going to be so busy and she's going to be out with friends and studying. This is your only chance.'

"Did you want to tell me something?" She asked.

"…" Sasuke said nothing.

"Okay…" Sakura replied.

"Never mind. I'll talk to you another day." He got up and started walking.

'You baka. That was your only chance. I'm so stupid. Oh whatever… I'll have another chance again. Hopefully.' Sasuke thought to himself.

Sakura sighed, 'I wonder what he was going to talk to me about. I guess I'll find out another day.' She looked up at the clock. 'Damn I better get to class. But Kakashi-sensei is always late. It wouldn't matter.'

When she walked in the classroom all the kids were talking. She walked up to her friends. "So what did Sasuke want?" Ten Ten asked.

"I don't know, he didn't tell me. He said he'd tell me another day." Sakura answered her friend.

"Well Kakashi-sensei is late as usual." Ten Ten smiled.

"Yeah, we'll be even lucky if he shows up for class." Sakura laughed. "So how are things with you and Neji-kun?"

"Oh good I guess." Ten Ten smiled.

"Have you ever…" Sakura started.

"Have I ever what?" Ten Ten asked.

"Never mind its stupid." Sakura answered.

"No tell me." Ten Ten was curious.

"Have you ever loved someone, but loved another person. Who if you tell one of them you loved another person they'd be devastated or hurt?" Sakura asked.

"You are starting to confuse me. What? Are you having second thoughts on Sasuke?" Ten Ten asked.

"Well, no. Kind of." Sakura replied. "I don't know. I'm confused myself. I mean… never mind. That was a long time ago. Let's just forget about this. Lets just forget I ever said anything."

"Okay, but you know you should tell him or whoever the person you are having second thoughts. (A/N: She means Sasuke… For all of you who are confused. Not saying you are stupid or anything… back to the story…) But I don't know." Ten Ten responded.

"I should forget about this whole thing. I mean I have Sasuke and I should be happy. But somehow I'm not entirely happy." Sakura sighed.

"Lets forget about it okay. I don't want you killing yourself over this." Ten Ten joked.

Sakura smiled. It was nice to have a friend who supported you no matter what. "Thanks Ten Ten."

"For what?" She asked.

"For being a real good friend." Sakura smiled.

'Maybe I should focus about the present more than the past. I mean he probably has forgotten about me. I mean I have Sasuke and everything I have right here.' Sakura thought.

But deep inside her heart she had doubt. She somehow she knew she was wrong. She just knew.
