Chapter 1: Doubt

Sakura, had no idea, why a guy like Sasuke, would propose to her. Surely in the short time that the war has ended he hadn't suddenly grown feelings for her that turned into love. She never believed that caring alone could turn into anything more in such a short time and as she pondered this over and over again in her head the more she doubted.

'Did Sasuke pity her? Was he taking her love for granted and only wanted to marry her because he knew she loved him unconditionally? Did he think that she couldn't love anyone else? or that anyone else would be interested in her?..' Shaking her head, Sakura sat up from her bed where she previously had been staring at the ceiling. That was absurd. She was the best medical ninja and kunoichi in all the four villages. She didn't come from a special bloodline or have a tailed beast inside her nor were her parents legends and that's what made her so admirable among the shinobi, she trained to the maximum without any of those things and people thought of her as an idol, much like Naruto in her own way.

Hell, she received so many love letters (most anonymously of course) from different guys and had been asked out so many times that it'd be quite ridiculous to say men weren't interested in her. Many young girls and women alike looked up to her, wanting to be her, or as great as her. She was their model. But whether men wanted her because she was famous among the shinobi and wanted her just for that or something to brag about she did not know. She certainly didn't want -or care enough- to find out either.

She should make it clear that Sasuke hadn't exactly proposed to her yet, but the poke to the forehead that Sasuke did before he left and the 'I'll see you soon' Implied that he would come back for her and promise love.

Ooor maybe she was reading that wrong.

Either way, its been a year since then and she was feeling the dread of his absence. Many of her friends have found love and was settling down in serious relationships while she hasn't even started yet. Naruto and Hinata just got engaged and it was only a matter of time until the rest of her friends did too.

Letting out a deep breath she stood up and addressed her now mid back pink tresses in front of her mirror. Seeing as everything was peaceful and she's only been working at the hospital she figured letting her hair grow back and pampering herself again would be harmless. Thanks to her fortunate job and her position there she had lots of money to spare.

She moved out of her parents (much to their dismay) and bought her own house (a preferably nice one), got a kitten named bouyo, bought brand products for her hair and other toiletries. She even bought some things to amp up her wardrobe a bit, but luxuries could only pretend to fill the void for so long and Sakura found herself...lonely, longing for what her friends were experiencing. She knew that the more she waited the more grand it would be when she did get her love, whether it be with Sasuke or not (although she hoped it would be him) she knew her time was coming.

"You look like someone just stole your paycheck and ran off with it" Said a voice from her bedroom patio.

Sakura sighed, knowing who the person was without even looking. I mean...who else would she let intrude her private space so abruptly like it was nothing?

Certainly not Naruto.

"What is it Ino? Do they need more staff at the hospital? Today was supposed to be my day off..."

Ino frowned. "Cant your best friend take you some place fun without you assuming I was coming to you for assistance at the hospital?" She asked Skeptically. When Sakura said nothing Ino sighed.

"Sakura you have been working non-stop since we got back from the war, give yourself a break" She was really starting to worry about her pink haired friend.

"It keeps me occupied...and takes my mind off things" Sakura said simply, like it wasn't a big deal

"Oh you mean take your mind off Sasuke?" Ino brooded.

Sakura tensed at his name and felt an ache in her heart. Ino immediately noticed the change and regretted bringing him up.

"You, me, going out, today, NOW" her tone didn't leave any room for an argument and Sakura nodded telling her she'll meet her at the springs (Since that's where Ino suggested to go to 'relax her') in ten minutes, but really she was figuring out a way to get out that. No matter how happy she was that Ino found love in Sai she didn't want to hear how great their relationship was going (She had to endure that a lot lately) seeing as it would only bring her mind to her non-existent one she should be having with Sasuke, the person she should be with and probably doesn't know if she'll ever be with. Was waiting for him a mistake?...She found herself asking that a lot nowadays.

No..

'I've spent my whole life loving him and I wont let it all go to waste' She thought to herself. She will wait. And when he returns, even if she misread his gesture, she would keep showing him affection until he gave into her. Yes, she thought again looking down at her team 7 pictured and focused her eyes on Sasuke.

'That's exactly what I'll do'
