"The Tension Begins"
Sasuke was early, as usual, so he decided to take the long way to the ramen stall. He skirted the bright lights and buzz of activity in the town and took the forest route instead. It was a road not many knew about, but always managed to distract him from those things. For those non-Sasuke people, those things were the constant nightmares and day problems Sasuke had with just about everyone. You see, some people live just to pick fights with everyone else, well too bad, that's a punch in the face for you, Uchiha. But then, Uchihas always win their battles.
As he walked by he was oblivious to everything but the brush of the undergrowth on his legs. His mind drifted elsewhere. To a day before this, when everything was different:
"So honey, what would you name our first child?" A sweet voice purred into his ear.
"Hn,"
"Are you even listening to me?" A few years ago, this voice would have become impatient, but after all this time, it has grown weary with having to babysit this overgrown child. "I see," She said quietly, and she got up and left her husband sitting on the porch. They got married two years ago, when they turned eighteen, Sasuke realized no one else would put up with his horrible attitude and she had grown stronger, smarter, faster, better than any other girl in Konoha and Sasuke needed heirs.
She was reluctant to accept his offer at first, and who wouldn't, when his idea of a marriage proposal was practically throwing the ring in her face and brusquely asking her: 'We're getting married.' Not even looking her in the eye. For a month she debated within herself to choose between her childhood fantasies and her duties.
The one thing that really decided it was when he came to her one night in a storm, she'd just come home from a busy mission and he knocked on her door trembling. He's having those nightmares again. She let him in and he collapsed crying on her lap. She knew then that her friend needed someone to take care of him; he'd never make it alone like this now.
But after two years of putting up with a life of silence, coldness and secrets, she felt more like a babysitter that never went home than a wife. His silence, indifference, and the fact that he did not love her would have been a hint for any other girl to pack her bags and leave, but not Sakura. To her, he'd always be the fifteen year old who came back with nightmares and demons all around him, and haunted by the future he threw away and the past he could never had. This was the same one who had come to her and Naruto begging to stay with them and for them never to leave him alone in the pit of darkness Orochimaru left him in.
She could never do that to him. But after two years, they still haven't had a single child and Sasuke was turning away and leaving her in silence more and more often. And there has also been another complication:
"Sakura, this may come as a shock, especially from me, but I love you, I have loved you ever since the day you told me I was wrong and needed to change, that there were other people there and that I needed to be there for them." He got down on one knee and produced something in his hand.
"S-s-sai, please d-don't this is probably another feeling you've confused it with." I was shaking, mainly because my dreams were finally coming true, there I was, this handsome, smart guy, proposing to me, in the most romantic way I could possibly imagine, under the moonlight, on a bridge in a forest with a lake, the sakura trees in full bloom.
"Sakura-chan there is no one else I plan to spend my life with, I will not settle for anyone but you. I realized after you married Sasuke that there was this hole in my heart, and a pain in my stomach, it was only after that, did I find out it was jealousy, but by then it was too late, for both of us."
I wanted to scream, but no words came out, this was too much, even for me. I had come to the realization a year ago that my best friend was not my dream guy, and now I found the person who was. I looked at him, with the ring in his hand and a hopeful smile on his face. Was I really that big a change in his life? I did not only see the sweetness in his smile, but the passion in his eyes, something Sasuke never had in him, it burned into me, and something felt weird, like it was waking up inside me.
I so wanted to jump in his arms and shout YES to the heavens, but there were some things I needed to do.
Sasuke arrived at the ramen stall, an all time hang out the three of them had ever since. He could remember the insane things they would do there, even try to find out what was behind Kakashi- sensei's mask. As he approached it, he couldn't hide the surprised expression on his face.
"TEME, YOU'RE LATE!"
Sasuke chuckled and sat down, he shrugged and let Naruto bombard him while he ordered, but hey, who would have guessed the dobe actually come on time.
"The one time I get here early, and you're late teme!"
"Good, you accept the fact that you have a punctuality disorder."
"I DID NOT SAY THAT TEME!"
"Whatever dobe, I thought you were treating today."
"For the meal, I didn't say you could help yourself to a plate of insults!"
"Shut up dobe, you're getting your saliva in my ramen."
"You can't tell me what to do teme!"
Sasuke just rolled his eyes and continued eating, Naruto finally calmed down enough to join him on planet idiot. The atmosphere was suddenly tense, like a dam about to burst.
"How's your divorce going on?" He asked quietly. "Hn." Sasuke shrugged and continued to eat, but Naruto knew better.
Yes my friends. That was what happened. Sakura told Sasuke the day after that night— that I so graciously typed in italic so you would remember, and they filed a divorce to follow it up.
"Teme, don't act tough."
"I'm not."
"Yes you are. We're trying to help you, why don't you let us?"
"I don't need help."
"Yes you do, face it. If you'd let us help you in the first place then you wouldn't be where you are now." Naruto was pleading his friend now. Uchiha was not one to show his feelings, but anyone could tell his pride was wounded, he had belittled Sakura and now it bit him in the ass. He didn't like to show it, but in everything he did, it looked like he turned old, what's more is that he still didn't have any heirs, talk about a major setback.
"Why do you guys keep messing with my life anyway?" Sasuke snapped, there was truly nothing worse than a moody Uchiha, readers beware, you are about to witness a catfight.
"You're so selfish, don't you care that we're worried about you too?"
"You don't have the right to interfere with my decisions dobe."
"Was it your choice to give up on our best friend, trying to help you?"
"She was annoying anyway, but you probably didn't see that did you, you were too busy looking at her chest."
"That was years ago teme, we grew up, did you?" Ouch, that really hit the spot. Naruto was right there. But he was about to get something in return.
"Well did you? Answer me teme!"
Silence…
Naruto was getting scared. Sasuke wasn't looking at him, apparently there was something interesting in his ramen. Suddenly he glared at Naruto intensely; with venom dripping in his every word, he delivered the finishing blow.
"At least I'm not the one who threw away the only girl who ever loved me!"
That really did it. But as I said earlier, Uchihas always win their battles.
There you have it, Chapter two
