'Blah' thoughts
"Blah" Normal
I do not own Naruto and Char.
Sasuke walked out of the bar letting everything get to him. Why did it matter of Sakura was dating Gaara. It was a random couple and he didn't see it coming but it wasn't the shock of it all that bothered him. It was something else. What was it? Why did he care so much about Sakura dating another guy? Why?
Cause you love her.
'No, I don't love her...'
Yeah, you do. You love Sakura, and she is currently dating Gaara. It's not the fact that it's Gaara. It's the fact that YOU LOVE Sakura.
'I don't love her.'
Yes you do.
'No, I don't'
Yes you do.
'WILL YOU SHUT UP!'
You know you do.
'Just leave me alone...'
Fine, but you know you do.
Sasuke walked down the streets of Konoha and looked down at the his new address. He just didn't feel like regaining the Uchiha Mansion yet. Too much on his mind and with Itachi still alive, it didn't feel right. He looked around. Every little inch of everything that has ever happened between him and his team came to his mind. From the day they were told they were a team to the day before he left. Sasuke walked down the empty streets letting his footsteps echo behind him. Sasuke gently closed his eyes letting his mind drift back to yester years. Once he opened his eyes, he noticed a bench. THAT bench. The bench that he left Sakura at. He let the past flash before his eyes. She loved him. She proclaimed it to him. She was willing to become a trader with him, but that when she was younger. She's moved on. Sasuke walked away letting the memories slip behind him hoping to forget them all. He entered his new apartment and laid down in his bed after removing his shirt. He closed his eyes and let himself drift into a dream.
Sakura ran inside Gaara's house. Tamari, Sai, and Naruto all looked at her as she barged into the house. Naruto was, as naturally, passed out.
"GUESS WHAT!" screamed Sakura causing Naruto to fall off of the couch and onto the floor. He instantly woke up.
"What is it Sakura?!" asked a VERY sleepy Naruto.
"I'M ENGAGED TO GAARA-KUN!" screamed Sakura.
"OH MY GOD!" cried Tamari not knowing.
Sai looked at her a little heartbroken but happy that she will be taken care of. Naruto smiled at his friend's excitement. Sakura continued to smile and show Tamari the ring Gaara proposed to her with. Tamari smiled at looked at her new soon-to-be sister-in-law right before she sleepily went to bed. Sakura smiled and ran upstairs. Gaara walked in the door not long afterwards.
"She said yes?" asked Sai.
"Yes." replied Gaara with a smile.
"I'm so happy for you.." sighed Sai as he walked away. Gaara watched him.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Gaara.
"He likes Sakura-chan, but he really wants her happy and taken care of and he knows she loves you." replied Naruto.
"...He likes Sakura...." asked Gaara.
"Who doesn't?" replied Naruto. Gaara looked at him a little shocked. People liked HIS Sakura, but then again it is Sakura. She is special in many different ways but its Sakura. His future wife. "Don't worry too much about it though. Sakura loves you or else she wouldn't have said yes." continued Naruto after walking away towards his room. Gaara walked away and went to his room and sat on his bed. A sweet sensation went over his body. Naruto was right. Sakura loved him or else she wouldn't have said yes. Sakura was his and soon to be his.....forever..
"Master Uchiha, are you ok?" asked a young maid with pink hair and emerald eyes. The Uchiha master looked at his servant.
"Yes." he replied in a cool manner. This girl was sweet. She was new. Someone his family just brought in for more help since his nanny died. It didn't bother him. It never did. The Uchiha wasn't upset though. He just had to get prepared for his brother's arranged wedding. Again.
"Are you sure, sir?" asked the young maid as she put up some of his clothing.
"I'm just ready for my brother to get married." he replied as he put on his clothing.
"You just didn't seem alright. That's all, My master. I'm sorry for bothering you." she replied.
"It is alright. Help me get this on." he demanded. The maid, forcefully as he could tell, pushed herself to help him.
"Thank you." He replied once he was completely dressed.
"The pink haired girl smiled at him. She did a slight bow. Her emerald eyes looked at him.
"What's your name?" asked Sasuke.
" H..Haruno sir." Replied the maid.
"Haruno what?"
"Sakura, Sir."
"Sakura..that suits you." Replied Sasuke. The pink haired girl named Sakura smiled at him with blush on her face. She gently walked out the door.
Sakura jumped up from her bed in Suna. That was one of the weirdest dreams that she has ever had. Herself a maid. Sasuke. Sakura closed her eyes. Sasuke. Just the way he was when she saw him. He was strong, intelligent, mysterious, dark, muscular, and a Uchiha. Sasuke.
"Sasuke…" Sakura whispered into the darkness. He was gone. Forever. "Uchiha Sasuke."
Sakura's heart felt as though it might burst. She was engaged to Gaara-kun. 'Not Sasuke-ku…Sasuke. Just Sasuke.' She and her team would be going back soon. Sakura insisted of being married in Konoha and Gaara didn't mind. She would be leaving her home town to be with the Kazekage. In Gaara's mind, it was part of being married. Sakura looked out the window. Still dark, but she was wide awake. Sakura sighed. She was thinking of Sasuke….again.
'Why?! Why can't I get you out of my head Uchiha Sasuke. Why'
You love him.
'I love Gaara-kun.'
You've always loved Sasuke. Remember him. Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. Sexy, dark, tall, amazing Sas..
'Shut up!'
What?
'I will not think of Sasuke. He left me. He left me to be a traitor. He left me to reach his goals. He never loved me. He never cared. He wanted a teammate and nothing more.'
You know you still love him. No matter what will happen. He will always have a piece of you.
' I'm with Gaara-kun. I can't be thinking of other men. I'm supposed to be getting married soon.'
I'm just saying. You are madly and hopelessly in love with Uchiha Sasuke. You just love Gaara.
'SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE! I AM NO LONGER IN LOVE WITH UCHIHA SASUKE!'
But…
'LEAVE ME ALONE!'
Fine. Fine.
'I do not, will not, and will NEVER love Uchiha Sasuke again. Never.'
Sakura walked over to the window overlooking Suna. The desert air blew clod air at her sending a chill down her spine. There was a half moon out. Sakura fell down. The swelling in her chest grew, but she just kept pushing it aside. She loved Gaara and no one else. That was that. She made up her mind in saying yes to him. Sakura sighed.
'Ok. Ok. I do love him. But its time I gave up. He's gone and he has that Karin girl. I'm fine. I love Gaara. I do.'
Sakura looked out at the little houses where her soon-to-be people slept. Sakura sighed.
"Uchiha Sasuke. I give up all feelings for you I have this night. You no longer will have a piece of my heart. I love Gaara. You are officially free of me. I wish you the best where ever you may be." Sakura said to herself and to Sasuke in her mind. She was rid of him and was not accepting Sabaku no Gaara in her life. Sasuke was out, forever.
