Chapter One

There was once a time when Sakura loved Sasuke very much. They did absolutely everything together. Went to the park, Ichiraku Ramen, and of course went on missions together. Sasuke finally got up the nerve to ask Sakura out and tell her how he really feels about her. He went straight up to her and said; "Sakura-chan, I have fallen deeply in love with you…will you please go out with me?" he blushed deeply as he said this. She looked at him and smiled. "Well it's about time. Yes…I would love to go out with you." He looked at her and held her close. They promised to never let each other go. Sasuke said that he would always protect Sakura, even if it meant taking his own life. She looked at him carefully and said, "Do you…do you really care for me that much?" He hugged her tighter and said, "I might not have shown it but, I have always loved you Sakura-chan. Since the first moment I laid my eyes on you. I just couldn't say it. I was always so nervous to talk to you. But when we were put on the same team, I knew it was fate. I knew it was time to ask you. When we started hanging out together, I fell more and more in love with you. I couldn't handle it anymore!" He tightened his grip on her and tears start to roll down his cheeks and Sakura wrapped her arms around him and said, Sasuke-kun…you don't know how much I have always loved you. Since the day I met you, I thought you were the coolest person in the world. But I never thought you would pick me with all the girls that were always all over you. I'm not exactly pretty…" Sasuke opened his eyes quickly. "Sakura-chan! Don't say that! I think you're the most beautiful person in the world. I want us to be together always." He looked deeply into her eyes and closed in for the kiss. Sakura closes her eyes and leans in. Their lips touch gently and tears fall out of Sakura's eyes. Sasuke felt the tears on his cheeks and pulls away from the kiss. "Sakura-chan…r u ok?" He wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at her worried. She smiled up at him and wipes the remaining tears off. "I'm just…so happy. I never thought we would be together, and now that we are…I'm just happy is all. So happy that it makes me want to cry. You have no idea how much I have always wanted this Sasuke-kun." He looked at her and kisses her softly once again. "Sakura-chan…I do know. I have wanted this as much as you have." Sakura looked up at him and holds his hands hoping that she would never have to let go. "Sasuke-kun…it may be a little soon but…I love you so much!" Tears starting rolling down her cheeks again and Sasuke hugged her and let her cry on his shoulder. "It's not too early. I love you too Sakura-chan…and I always will. No matter what happens to us."
