Constipation in love
By: Mae-Mae
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto or any of the characters except for all those who are in the made up clan "Tsukino". Yue and all my made up characters are from my imagination so if you don't like any of them then hate on my imagination, not me.
Yue- you don't own me!
Mae-Mae - Yes I do!
Gaara- she doesn't own me.
Mae-Mae - shut up!
Gaara- maybe I would if you didn't make me sound so love struck!
Mae-Mae - freezes Gaara with a forbidden jutsu I just hope you all like my first ever fan fic!
Chapter one: A love that could never be
Yue's POV Sunagakure
I sat impatiently on a rock waiting for Gaara to finally arrive. I summoned all of my courage to find a way to tell him I have to leave and probably not come back and he's late! Suddenly I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist. Surprised I spun around quickly, raised my fists up, and readied myself to attack. Gaara stood there shaking his head as he laughed a bit (which believe me he doesn't do often).
"Yue, why so tensed?" he asked.
"Its nothing… okay maybe it's something." I said looking away from him; I didn't want to do this to him. But leaving the village without telling him would be worst.
"What's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Gaara, I'm leaving tomorrow." I said, still averting eye contact.
"So, when are you coming back?" He asked with a loving smile. Wow those were rare.
"Here's the thing; I won't be coming back." I said, cursing at myself in my mind. I didn't want to leave; I loved it here, most of all I loved him, but did that matter? No. A Tsukino is bound to any promise that is made, even if she wasn't the one who made it. Damn promises.
"What do you mean your not coming back? This place is your home." He asked and for a second there was a flicker of sadness in his eyes, then they went back to that emotionless expression he always had on. At times Gaara would try to hide how he felt about things to her, but she knew him too well, so she could see what he hid.
"I mean I'm not coming back." I said, finally looking at him. "Believe me I don't want to go…" I whispered in such a small voice it was a wonder that he heard me.
"Then stay here, with me." He pleaded.
"I'm sorry, I can't." I leaned in to give him one final kiss, but stopped halfway; I couldn't do this to him. Kissing him now would only hurt him more than ever when I left tomorrow. He probably hated me now, and I couldn't blame him; I gave him false hope that we could be together. "Good bye." I whispered. Then without another word I left, all the while hating myself for leaving.
The next Day
Yue's POV Half way to Konoha
It was nightfall and I was already halfway to Konohagakure; thank the heavens for having the fastest pair of legs in the Wind country. I couldn't get what happened last night out of my head, especially the look in his eyes when I told him I couldn't marry him.
Flashback
"Why not I thought you loved me?" Gaara asked with that pained look in his eyes.
"I want to… believe me I do but…."
"But what?" he asked, perplexed.
"I'm engaged to someone else." I said looking away.
End of flashback
I would have said yes (even if he wasn't the Hokage) if I was not bound to such to a horrible fate; marrying a guy I hardly knew. I didn't even make this stupid promise, so why did I feel like it was my duty to carry it out? Maybe it was because it was the last thing my parents ever did, or maybe it was because I was supposed to the one who united our clans; Uchiha and Tsukino.
Eight years ago my clan was murdered and I still take the blame upon myself, I my eldest brother Renten, was killed because he thought my own safety was more important than his own. He had me go to the old tree house in the park to wait for him… but he never came. My older onee-chan Kasumi and ototo Kikucho did, though. Kiku had a few bumps and bruises, but Kasumi… was drenched in blood, but it wasn't her own. Knowing her she probably was crying as she clutched a body of her loved one; that was the only way I could think of to explain her being soaked in blood. Kasumi later was said to have died after she had escorted Kiku and me to Sunagakure. Then Kiku died not long after during a surprise attack by some enemy ninja.
I couldn't believe how much has changed in the passed 8 years (and not in a good way either). I fell in love with the Kazekage, Subaku no Gaara, but it was a love that could never be. (Mae-Mae: It's like being constipated…but without the crap, just with love.) I was now the last of my clan, and I hate how most of the events in my life turn out to do nothing but make my life worse; I guess that is why I tattooed the Kanji for hate on my right arm. Memories of the past can kill, when they refuse to be forgotten.
Sakura POV Konohagakure
Sakura sat atop a tree as she usually did; her chopsticks clanked ever so slightly against her bento box, as she ate her lunch. Every now and then between bites she glanced down at other chuunin as they paired up before her very eyes. Naruto and Hinata sat beneath her own tree, eating there lunch happily together. Naruto must have said something hilarious, because Hinata was laughing so hard. Shikamaru and Ino sat on a bench near the lake talking to each other with that look on there faces. Kiba had his arm around Shizuru one of the girls that used to be in the same class as them when they went to the academy. She giggled when Kiba and Akamaru played tug a war with her own dog; Tuta. Neji and Tenten were no where in site, but Sakura knew they were probably practicing the ninjustu.
Sakura sighed to herself; while every one found there 'one and only', she had no one to call her own (I mean even Lee had some one!). She was in fact in love with someone (yes it was love and not some form of infatuation; just love), and his name was Sasuke Uchiha. But he would never return her feelings, considering he was the most popular guy in the whole village and she was just your average straight 'A' student with the weirdest pink hair, and the hugest five-head (not forehead five-head her forehead was much too big to be called a forehead). So why would he even consider taking a second glance at her?
Sasuke's POV
Sasuke on the other hand, had his back leaned up against a tree that wasn't to far from the one where Sakura had placed herself. He took a bite out of his onigure (rice ball) as he stared at the other chuunin in disgust. Why waste there time flirting when they could be practicing their ninjustu? Tenten and Neji were the only two doing anything useful; they were honing there skills. As he glanced further ahead, something caught his eye: Sakura Haruno. She sat on top the tree as she normally did but something was… well different. He stared at her, dazed, her beautiful cherry-blossom hair caught the sun's rays (Mae-Mae: XD), and he looked… dare he think it, cute. It was probably because she wasn't screaming in some one's ear (more specifically Naruto) or expressing her concern for him. Damn, if he every needed any one to worry about him he'd find Itachi and force him listen to his problems or get a physiologist.
Sasuke noticed that sad look she had; what the hell is wrong with her? If someone hurt her he was going to kick their ass. "Wait… what the hell? Why am I so concerned about what happens to her? She can take care of herself." He thought to himself. Although he knew she could handle everything all on her own he couldn't help but wanting to ask her what was wrong. So he walked over to the tree which she sat atop.
Sakura looked at him, surprised, "Sasuke, if you're looking for Neji he's over in the training grounds with Tenten."
"That's not what I was going to ask." He shot back, not meaning for it to sound as cold as it did.
"Then what did you want to ask?" Sakura asked sweetly, ignoring his ice-cube ness. "Damn, why does she have to be so cute?" Sasuke mumbled to himself
"Wait, a minute I did not just think that! No not about her she's my team mate and nothing more!" he shook his head.
"Oh, but you want her to be so much more!" A voice swept across his mind
"W-what the hell? Who the hell said that?"
"Who said what?" Sakura asked, tilting her head.
"Nothing, never mind."
"Then what did you want to ask me?" She tilted her head once more.
"Forget it!" He said and walked away. He despised himself now, because he was wasting time that he could be using for training.
THE NEXT DAY
Yue's POV
I stood there atop that hill just as I had done back then, over looking the village. I shook my head, trying to choke back the tears, "I'm back… after eight years and it hasn't changed one bit."
Here I am, Konohagakure, the place of my memories that refused to be forgotten. The place that I loathe for it was here, where all the bloodshed took place. Kasumi, Kiku, Renten, mother, father, everyone, I will go through with this marriage for you, not me. I touched the golden insignia of the Uchiha clan that hung around my neck and started walking down the slope of the hill.
