Pixie: WE OWN NOTHING!!!! well, except this story. Sasuke was alone in the heart of the forest. Or so he thought. The May sun glistened down on the 4 ¾ year old. He was practicing his ninja skills for he would be entering the Academy. He threw a kunai at a tree but it missed. Instead, it hit a bush. The bush screamed. Wait... What?! Last time I checked, bushes don't scream! Thought Sasuke. The bush continued to scream. He pushed back the branches to find... 5 year old Hareno Sakura, sitting on the ground, kunai in her arm, the wound bleeding profusely. He knelt beside her. She glared at him. He stared straight into her eyes. She narrowed her eyes. His gaze did not falter. "I'm sorry," Sasuke said, slowly from disuse. He lowered his gaze to stare at his feet. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine!" Sakura hissed back. He raised his eyebrows and moved to grab the kunai out of her arm. Sakura began to scream again. "Go away!" she screeched. "Leave me alone!" The look of fear in those big green eyes touched Sasuke's heart. He gently took her arm and, as softly as he could, pulled put the kunai. Swiftly, he ripped a bit a bit off of his shirt and bound her wound with it. He took her hand, brought it up, and brushed his lips against it. She blushed as he said, "You're so tough! You didn't cry at all. You could probably become a decent ninja someday!" They spent the rest of the day underneath the tree, talking about ninjas and all manner of things. But the stayed away from the topic that was swirling inside them, tugging at their hearts: love.
3 Years and 2 Months Later: What is taking her so long? Sasuke thought, impatient. At that, Sakura came running up, out of breath. She had received a note from Sasuke-kun, saying that he had something to tell her. Sasuke had decided. Today was the day he would tell Sakura he loved her. "Before you say what you have to tell me, I just need to say this: I'm moving to Suna next week." Sakura wouldn't (and couldn't) look Sasuke in the eye. With just those 6 simple words, Sasuke's world fell apart. He just turned and left Sakura standing there. "It's my dad's job! He's getting transferred!" was all she got out before she collapsed in the street, sobbing, her thin frame shaking uncontrollably. That night, Sasuke's clan was murdered.
3 Years, 11 Months and 10 days Later (July 23): It was Sasuke's birthday but it was far from happy. It wouldn't ever be happy again. Only one person could make his birthday happy and he would never see her again.
Elsewhere in Konaha: "So you're sure that you're going to represent Leaf in the Chuunin Exams?" Temari asked for the fiftieth time. Sakura just smiled. "This is my birthplace and the place of my raising," she said, a little sadly. "I love Suna but this is my home. It is the home, also, of the love of my life!" Temari laughed. "Yes, I've heard all about the famous Uchiha Sasuke." That's when she saw him. Speak of the devil! thought Temari as Sakura yelled, "Sasuke!" Sasuke turned around. He must be dreaming. She rushed into his arms. Sakura looked up as something wet landed on her head. Sasuke was crying. He captured her lips in a sweet, passionate kiss that seemed to last a lifetime. They both thought a single thought, in unison:
