" Sasuke is that you?"

"Tsk."

"Sasuke I've been waiting for you….. for so long!"

" Sakura let Sasuke get settled in first."

Naruto said with his blue eyes looking at me like I should be with him instead of Sasuke. Sasuke , without saying a word just vanished into thin air. Why couldn't he love me like I love him? Why can't he see I just want to be with him?

"Naruto, is Sasuke here to stay?"

"I can't tell for sure but he is, for now."

"Sakura why don't you love m-"

"Sorry Naruto I just remembered I left Ino at Ichiraku."

I darted out of the room. I couldn't be around Naruto. It'll just make me feel like I'm guilty. I mean Naruto should know by now that I'm in love with Sasuke. He's known that ever since we became team 7.

When I left I noticed rain started to fall. I didn't have an umbrella and my house wasn't exactly the closest.

"Hey Sakura-chan."

I turned and found that it was Hinata holding an umbrella and was waving.

"Hi Hinata-chan."

"Oh, one sec" Hinata said as she put her umbrella over both of us.

"Thanks Hinata."

We both started walking the road ahead of us.

"No problem Sakura, but how are you feeling about Sasuke being back?"

"I…"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything."

"No it's fine, it's just he's been gone for so long and all of a sudden he's back."

"I know but if he's back then he should be back for sure, right?"

" I hope so, thanks Hinata for your support and maybe you'll end up with Naruto."

"What?"

"Hinata everyone knows how you feel about him."

" But do you really think I have a shot?"

"Of course you do." Good maybe that'll help Naruto to leave me alone.

"Thanks, Sakura."

As we were walking, I looked around to see if Sasuke would be around somewhere. I looked at Ichiraku and noticed Ino wasn't there so I'll just apologize to her the next time I see her. Before we knew it I was by my house. I thanked Hinata and went inside to take a hot shower. I liked taking showers and staying inside when it was raining. I ran the water and let it shower me with hope and courage. I can't believe Sasuke was back. Just as my dream foretold. Maybe my dream was a sign of the future. God I hope so. As I stepped out the shower, I noticed it started to rain a lot more than it did. I got dressed in my pajamas which was a long, light pink nightgown. When I went to my room, I looked outside the window and was lost in thought. Then out of nowhere, I seen a masculine figure walking around in a dark cloak that covered his entire body. Before long, I noticed it was Sasuke. I could tell because of his chakra and how he walked. I just stared at him. Maybe he was looking for me. Then he looked up and was staring at me with his sharingan. My heart was beating so fast. I loved it when he would use his sharingan but somehow they looked…deadly. A flash of lightning hit and when it was gone so was Sasuke.

Before sleeping, I couldn't get the thought of how Sasuke was looking at me. That look looked as though he wanted to kill me like he almost did after he fought Danzo and asked me to kill Karin. But that was almost a year ago. And even though I wouldn't be here if Naruto came to my rescue, I couldn't stop loving that man.

The next morning, I got up and made myself breakfast. I had eggs, waffles, sausage and bacon. I couldn't wait to eat but then I heard a knock at the door.

"One second."

I was thinking it would be Ino throwing a tantrum for me leaving her at Ichiraku's. I opened the door and was startled. It was him.

"Sasuke?"

"Sakura, have you seen Naruto?" he said so calmly and collectedly.

"No, I haven't but you can come in for some breakfast!"

"No thanks."

Later on I seen him again. Today was a festival for the war being over. I wore a bright red and pink kimono with my hair in a bun with chopsticks in different directions. I was eating dumplings and pocky sticks with Hinata, Kiba, Ino, Shikamaru, Tenten, and everyone else. Even Gaara and his family came to celebrate. Everyone started to sit down and eat when the fireworks started. As I was looking in the distance, I saw Naruto and Sasuke. It seems they were talking. Naruto seemed to enjoy the party more than Sasuke. Naruto had a bright orange kimono with red and white flames while Sasuke had a dark black kimono with a dark blue hawk on the back. After awhile, Naruto left and I knew that was my moment to confess my love for Sasuke, once again. I started to feel nervous and had butterflies in my stomach when I started to get closer to him.

"Sasuke?"

"What?" he said in an annoyed voice.

"I..I love you so much I'm so glad you came back to the village and back to me. I just want to love you and I want you to love me back. Please!"

"Why should I?"

"Because I've been by your side before you left and I've been begging that you would come back someday. And here you are and I forgive you for almost killing me and breaking my heart because I just can't be without you."

"Tsk."

"Please, Sasuke."

"No."

"But Sasuke, I-"

"NO. Sakura stop trying to believe in something that won't happen."

"Why?"

"You're an annoying crybaby who needs to grow up."

"But."

"NO!"

And at that he just walked off.

"BUT SASUKE-KUN I LOVE YOU!"

But my words fell on deaf ears as he walked away or more like drifted.
