Chapter 3: The Meeting
The first thing that Sakura saw when she walked into the majesty room in the Uchiha mansion was Uzumaki Daimyo. She always knows that Uzumaki Naruto Daimyo is Uchiha Daimyo's best friend for throughout his life. She also remembered that Uzumaki Daimyo is the only person who brave to forbid Uchiha Daimyo for divorcing her three years ago but of course it resulted nothing. Uzumaki Daimyo is the first person to know that Lady Sakura was truly in love with Uchiha Sasuke Daimyo, so he insisted to keep them in marriage bond even though he didn't make it. Ever since that time Uzumaki Daimyo still keep in touch with Lady Sakura, and in fact they're good friends until now. Uzumaki also the only person who never called Lady Sakura with 'Milady', he always calls her 'Sakura-chan' to represent their proximity. And this what made Lady Sakura happy, she always wants to have a friend who called her own name, not her title. He also did the same to Uchiha Daimyo.
Lady Sakura moved slowly to her friend, and called his name. "Nice to see you here, Naruto-san… I've already thought that I would find you here…"
"Sa-Sakura-chan?! So, you're coming too??? I-I didn't believe that the rumor was true… How come Sasuke did this to you???" he asked with popeyed eyes.
Lady Sakura bowed her head to Uzumaki Daimyo before answered. "This is what we called as respect, Naruto. I have received an invitation for this coronation. It's an honor for me to be invited after a long separation between me and Lord Uchiha. I always expect that we could have a good relationship even though we weren't together again."
"But this is not proper, especially for you! How dare he is!" Uzumaki Daimyo almost shouted until a tall, sharp-looking man with a long hair, wearing a luxurious black haori came and tried to hold his voice. "Well, well, my cousin in law, you shouldn't shout at a wedding coronation. That will be rude to the householder I believe. That will make us, The Hyuuga, felt a bit anxious about your behavior as you were married to my cousin—Lady Hinata."
Sakura recognized him as Hyuuga Neji Daimyo, he was one of the most wanted gentlemen throughout the time, and just like Uchiha Daimyo, he was a womanizer, he had married for many times, until now he had married for ten times included marrying a Chinese princess named Lady Ten Ten. Lady Sakura always thinks that Hyuuga Daimyo was too pretty to be a guy, he was really a bishounen, and he might aware of this fact, so no wonder if he grown to be a very narcissistic person that makes Lady Sakura cannot stand him, and rejected him last year when he proposed her to be his mistress.
"Well, then. Here you are, Neji! I was just pissed because Sakura-chan has to receive such an arrogant and not suitable treatment from our humble householder, The Uchiha Daimyo, that's all…"
"Ah, look who's this beautiful cherry blossom? I didn't know that you're coming, Milady." Hyuuga Daimyo bowed his head to Lady Sakura, Sakura replied by bowing her head with a bit smile on her lips.
"It's an honor to meet you here, Lord Hyuuga."
"As I've already told you last year, Lady Sakura, Uchiha Daimyo was just a dumb by treating you badly for couple times. I, on the other hand, will try to make you the happiest person ever with making you my mistress."
"Pardon me, Milord. I cannot accept your proposal. I don't think being a mistress will make me feel good. I've had enough with this matter. I'm really sorry for being rude to you…" answered Lady Sakura. Uzumaki Daimyo just smiled with her answer.
Hyuuga Daimyo didn't smile this time, but he turned around and said. "Well, then, it's just a matter of time until I can have you. You were also still had a lot of times to think about that again, Milady. However not all women may have a chance to escort a fabulous person like me. Have a good time, Lady Sakura…"
This time Uzumaki Daimyo cannot hold his laughter while Hyuuga Daimyo leaving. "Oh, Kami… Sometimes I can't stand him also, Sakura-chan…" he said while laughing.
"So, he's always over confident, isn't he? Even though I realized that he's one of the most exciting men that I've ever known. It must be hard for Lady Hinata to live with him before, and spent most of her childhood with a person like that."
"Yeah, Hinata sometimes talked about him, how creepy he is while boasting himself. We did know that he was great, but don't act like that, you know… but at least he was right about one thing, you looked beautiful, Sakura-chan." Uzumaki Daimyo replied. Lady Sakura just smiled and thanked her friend.
Shizune really prepared everything to make her looked good that night. It was the very first time she wore furisode kimono again—after all furisode was only worn by unmarried ladies. Tonight she's wearing fuchsia furisode kimono with an embroidery peacocks. She's also wearing a soft peachy pink haori which makes her appearance pretty—Shizune really made her looked like a virgin young girl with the juvenile makeup. Her hair is pulled up and bound by a fine decorated kanzashi. Before Lady Sakura wanted to move along with Uzumaki Daimyo to gather the other guests, she kept his mouth silent while seeing a red haired man with a luxurious embroidery haori moved closer to them. That man was seen marvelous. Yet, people can smell his scent, his refreshing scent. Lady Sakura recognized the scent very much. He was using a basil-based perfume, along with a bit lemon flavor.
"Hey, Sakura-chan. Look who's coming!" Uzumaki Daimyo pointed to the man. Lady Sakura slowly raised her head. She moved her eyelashes to the referred man, so that she may see him better.
Well then, that was him…
For a man that was used to live in the desert, he looked very pale. He might be the only person who had the fair skin in his country. His appearance is so appealing. In fact he has grown to be an adult thoroughly. Lady Sakura saw a sweet smile from his lips before she saw him bowed to her and Uzumaki Daimyo. They both repeated the movement respectfully.
"Gaara-san! I'm really happy to meet you again! It's been a long time…" Uzumaki Daimyo said while passing his hand to the man. The man, of course, is Sabaku Daimyo—Lord Gaara. A person who possessed any deserted land on earth, the man who always adores Lady Sakura.
"Nice to see you too, Naruto-san." He replied while his eyes looking at the woman besides his friend. "Nice to see you, Lady Sakura." He said softly to the woman.
"Nice to see you too, Milord." Lady Sakura nodded beautifully.
"I'm really happy to see all of my friends gathered in one place at the same time! It's nearly a dream to see you here, Sakura-chan, but now I also met Gaara-san here. This is really a special day! You two wait here, I will call the others to join us gathering." Uzumaki Daimyo said while turning around and looking for other friends. He left the two, Lord Gaara, and Lady Sakura alone in the crowd.
"I'm really happy to see you here, Milady."
"I'm also longing for you, Milord. I wanted to thank you for the gifts that you've given me throughout the last winter."
"I want you to enjoy some warmth from me…" Lord Gaara replied.
What? Did he just say 'Warmth'? What kind of warmth did he offer me to enjoy huh? Her inner self asked while she cannot hold her beating heart.
"I'm so grateful, Sire. You've been good to me. I didn't even know how to pay back your kindness…" answered Lady Sakura. She admits that she cannot let her eyes for not staring at him.
"I don't expect anything from you, Milady—",
"No, Sire. I think you just too kind, and it will be an indignity if I do not—",
"There's nothing to be feared about the norms, Lady Sakura. What I've given to you, it's just happening between us, no one else…" Lord Gaara pleaded. At the same time both green eyes staring at each other.
"I really am, happy to meet you, Lady Sakura."
"I'm also delighted to meet you, Milord."
"I love when you say that, it was like we have the same vision to each other, not because that we both have the same eyes color, but maybe because something else…" replied Lord Gaara. His saying made Lady Sakura stopped glaring at him for a while, she put her shawl down, indirectly wielding the bottom of her beautiful kimono which made Gaara considered a thing.
"Well, it's been a while since the last time I saw you wearing that kind of kimono, Lady Sakura." He referred to the furisode kimono Lady Sakura's wearing.
"However, Sire. I'm no longer a married woman, so I can use every gown that I desire including furisode..." Lady Sakura answered.
"It suits you very much, Lady Sakura. I hope this attire will show people that you were no longer a midai of Uchiha Daimyo."
"I hope people would understand that I'm no longer an Uchiha midai. At least I want people to deem me as a usual single lady." Lady Sakura said while smiling until someone interrupted their conversation. "Is that what you really want Sakura? As I've seen so far you really made yourself looked adolescent…"
Lady Sakura turned her body to see who' talking, and dumbfounded to see that her ex husband, Uchiha Daimyo, standing behind her with a cold gaze in his most famous eyes, The Sharingan, which is now flaming red.
"It's nice to see you again, Sasuke Uchiha…" Lady Sakura replied with sighs.
Please review! :D
