AN: Hello all just a quick one shot here. I hope you all enjoy. Also I don't own Naruto or any other characters and I make no money from this. Thank you
I'm stunned… I don't know what is going on. What she just said to me is a dream come true. It's not true though. We both know it. Probably everyone here and at home knows it…
I ask her what she just said to make sure I'm not hearing things. She said what I thought she said. I'm confused… I ask why she is joking and ask what her game is… As she begins to explain I only half listen. I can't help myself but I begin to play out this dream as if I accepted her confession. I don't think of anything but what our life would be like.
We would get married in a huge wedding with the whole village watching. We would get a little house on a nice street with room for a garden out front and a training area out back. Sakura would work at the hospital while I trained and went on missions. Which ever one of us got home first would get dinner. After I was named Hokage we would work on starting a family of our own.
She finally gets to her point and tells me to give up chasing Sasuke. I wonder what has happened to make her say this. Maybe she really thinks she loves me now. She is wrapping me in a hug and despite the snow falling around us and how cold I know she is she feels so warm.
I keep only half listening as she tells me what I had always wanted to hear from her. How brave and wonderful I am and the worst part of that is that she means it, but it doesn't make her love me.
I begin to dream again for just a moment about what our life could be like if she loved me the way I loved her. Kids and grandkids, growing old and wrinkled, and just being a family the way I had always wanted. Gods below she feels wonderful like this and I'm glad that other people are here otherwise I would take her right now and show her how much I love her. I love this, what she is telling me. I should just go along with this. It wouldn't be so bad if I agreed. I would treat her like a queen. She would forget about Sasuke and never think of him again.
No! I'm lying to myself. I hate people who lie themselves and tell Sakura so… Sakura is trying to get me to let go of Sasuke, and not because she loves me. She knows what I truly want. Unfortunately for me and her that is Sasuke. I want her to be happy so I will stop lying to myself with these dreams and carry on. She is angry with me now and leaves with her group but Sai leaves his clone and tells me the truth. I can do nothing but collapse but at least for a moment longer I can dream of life with Sakura again, and who knows maybe when I wake up I can figure out a way to make them real.
AN: I hope everyone enjoyed that. The inspiration came up quick. For those wondering about Divergence the next chapter will be up tommorow or maybe later tonight. Thanks again. Please read and review it makes me powerful.
