Hello all. It's been awhile since I've updated so here is a bonus for everyone that waited diligently and faithful. I got another idea from this game. And I added my own twists and turns into it. I forgot I even had this idea until my duo mentioned it. Thanks duo. I love my duo to death. Anyways, please read and review like you did in His and Hers Romance. And moving on I present to all of you, A promise.

A promise

No more wars, but a time of peace and serenity where most people would get along and barely would fight. Before this time of peace, there were many wars caused by raging clans and greedy lords. Thousand of people died protecting what they loved for many years. The wars wouldn't end until one powerful monarchy came in control. The Uchiha clan. They were powerful people, not to be trifled with. Intelligence, beauty, and a sense of logic ran through the bloods of the Uchiha. The Uchiha clan dominated the wars and took utter control of all the states of Japan, driving out the evil lords and setting up laws. People were overjoyed and diligently served the Uchihas.

Far from the Uchiha kingdom, was the land of the Rock. Lush green trees where everywhere, children were running about, and people were smiling. Beyond the villages and through the mountains was the countryside. The countryside had few villages and lesser amounts of peoples. But this is where it all started to change Sakura Haruno's life forever.

Sakrua Haruno's village was a quiet one. It had cabins made out of wood because they could not afford stone. The floors of the houses were made out of wood and had a small fireplace at the end. Outside on the streets was the dirt floor. People were walking or using horses to get to one place or another. Mothers would be scolding at children and the fathers would be busy at work.

The Haruno family served as a weaving family. One generation to another, the skill of weaving cloth was passed to each other. The men of the family would make machines that involved with weaving.

Sakura on the other hand, wasn't taught the family heritage. Or at least, she didn't pay attention. She believed there was more to life than just weaving.

"THUMP!" a sound was clicked against Sakura's fragile head.

"Ow….Okaa-sama! Why did you hit me with the spoon again?" Sakura asked as she rubbed her head from the pain.

"Because you are slacking off again! How many times have I told you Sakura? You need to learn the skill of weaving so that you may find a good husband!" Sakura's mother scolded her daughter.

It's not like Sakura's mother didn't love her or anything. It's just that she wanted her daughter to have a secure future. Who would want to marry a girl that had no trade?

"Okaa-sama! I don't have to learn how to weave! I already found someone that would take me!" Sakura yelled slipping the part of how she found someone that would take her.

"WHAT?!" screamed Sakura's mother starting to hyperventilate. "WHO IS IT?"

"Not telling!" Sakura replied running out of her house and dashed off to her secret place.

As Sakura ran, she passed many people and town venders. Children were busy playing tag and venders cried out their merchandise, hoping it would sell. Her glossy floral pink hair blew in the wind and her eyes sparkled a rare jade green. Her face was porcelain and perfectly round. She wasn't small or too big which was pretty good in those times. Sakura could be a Barbie doll. But aren't Barbie dolls suppose to abide there parents until there 18? Not Sakura.

"Oh no! Its almost noon and I have to meet him!' Sakura thought as she started to run faster.

She dashed into the forest going at lightening speed. Sakura couldn't miss him. It would probably be the first time that she would she him in a long time.

As the forest almost ended, Sakura saw a familiar figure. The figure of her loved one.

"Sai!" Sakura cried out gasping for a breath of air and tripping over a rock due to clumsiness.

Luckily, Sai had quick reflexes and caught Sakura. But Sakura's weight had toppled him and they both fell over. Sakura on top of Sai. Wait…were young girls suppose to be like this?

"Oof. Sakura, have you considered dieting lately?" Sai asked bluntly smiling.

In that instant, a wave of anger washed through Sakura.

"Sai! I'm not fat! Your just clumsy!" baffled Sakura pounded on Sai's chest with her little fist.

"Alright, alright. Just get off of me" Sai said as he began to pick up Sakura and himself.

"So why did you tackle me ugly?" Sai asked once again, unaware of the situation.

"Sai! You know why I'm here! You told me to come here at the edge of forest" Sakura declared getting mad that he was calling her ugly.

"………Oh yeah. Now I remember. I guess there's no other way telling it" Sai said putting an end of his fake smile.

"I want to travel the world Sakura, I want to paint and find new arts"

That one sentence drifted through Sakura's mind until it finally hit her. Sai was leaving and for a long time. Leaving her alone and sad.

"Why? Did I do something wrong Sai? Tell me! Please!" Sakura said tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. Sai can't leave her alone again. He just promised to stay.

Sai saw the tears that were about to come out of her eyes. He felt bad. But this was all for her.

"Sakura, you need to know my reason for doing this. I'm traveling again because I want a secure future for the both of us. Obviously, if your not learning your trade and I'm constantly traveling, how would I support you as a future husband? " Sai asked feeling hundreds of pitchforks pointed at him.

Sai's explanation made a lot of sense. It was all for Sakura. And it was always for Sakura.

"Will you come back Sai? A lot sooner than most trips?" Sakura asked hanging her head low.

"Of course. I will always come back for you"

"Then go. This is your passion and I want you to be happy" Sakura replied.

She didn't want to hold him back. Sai's works of arts had made a lot of money in the past. But not enough money to support him and Sakura and future children.

"Alright then Sakura. I need to leave tonight" Sai said.

Then suddenly, he pulled her into a tight hug, smelling the sweet scent of her pink hair.

"Sakura, lets make a promise right here and right now" Sai said.

"I want us to promise each other. No matter what happens, we will always be together"

This shocked Sakura. Of course she trust Sai and knew he was faithful but would this promise keep them together? But if Sai asked, Sakura would always listen to him.

"Okay…. Lets pinky swear on it then!" Sakura said giving Sai one of her best smiles.

So they pinky sweared there. On the edge of the forest, away from there village. A silent promise in the clearing of the forest.

"Sakura! Where have you been!? I was so worried about you" cried Sakura's mother slamming her foot on the floor like a child.

However Sakura didn't pay attention. She was to busy thinking about Sai and his promise.

"I want us to promise each other. No matter what happens, we will always be together"

Those words ran through her mind, drowning out the voice of her mother.

"We'll always be together Sai, no matter what happens"

Little did Sakura know that this was a cruel world. Promises are meant to be broken and her child-likeness has yet to mature. Sometimes Sakura was to naïve and believed everything.

Would Sai ever come back to her?

Woah. Im finally done. I held in my piss and typed this up to everybody :O. SO now I got to piss. So please read and review.

Jo is out.
