A/N: For some reason, I can't help but feel my writing is not up to par. Unlike "Ladies Man"-which you should read and review since it's already completed-I can't seem to add the detail, or even that less than witty humor. I'm a bit depressed right now, cause the reviews on this story show it. :/ I'm sorry, guys. Like it? Hate it? It's whatevs. Just enjoy it.

I don't own anything but the mere story line.


Don't say yes, run away now.

She felt exhausted.

This was one of those days in which Sakura wished she could just ignore the world temporarily. To be confined in her bedroom with a blanket over her seemed appealing. But she had too much to do. Too much on her mind that Sakura felt the imminent doom she was about to face. Fluttering her eyelids, she squinted as the sun's ray peeked through her window blinds. She sighed, sitting up and stretching, relief sighing in her muscles. She ran her thin fingers through her pale pink hair, still sitting and pondering of the things that had to get done today. Of course, things that happened yesterday seemed to come in mind.

Marriage. Was that such a hard concept to grasp? Of course not. She knew what Lee's offer would entail; a person to lean on, a partner, a companion, a person who would love her unconditionally. But the real question was if she would be able to love him back. Such simple words he uttered yet Sakura seemed to have a hard time understanding what she wanted now. Why wait, though?

Why pine over for someone who just doesn't care about you? Sasuke. Sasuke. Sasuke. Why not take Lee's proposal and be with someone who will love you? (Because he's not Sasuke. He's NOT Sasuke).

She shook her head, feeling a headache about to form as she got up to prepare for the day.


Today just felt like a sundress day, and that was what Sakura wore. She wore a white, wide spaghetti strapped dress that went to her knees, with pale yellow stitches on the dress that shaped like flowers. Today just felt like a sunny day. Today just felt…good. She smiled, attempting to fool herself in radiant happiness as she walked along the trail towards Sasuke's house, her messenger bag slung across her right shoulder.

Okay, all I have to do is get through finding a venue and then Kana will come back. Sakura nodded, encouraging herself that she could do this with positivity. She would make the best of what was happening. When Sasuke came into view, she smiled, unable to control the giddiness of spending time with the Uchiha. She wanted to apologize for bailing out on the dance class. He stood there in front of his home, the generic, unemotional features marring across his face. His eyes, however empty they were, sparked certain…annoyance.

"Good morning, Sasuke," Sakura smiled, clutching the strap of her bag as she stared at the apathetic boy-man-in front of her.

"You're late," he quipped quietly, annoyance now laced in his voice.

"Uh," she wasn't sure what to say. I didn't realize being five minutes late would kill him.

"Are you coming or what?" he was already leading the way, Sakura still standing where she was. "I don't have all day to spend with you." He obviously didn't want to discuss what happened at dancing class yesterday.

"Bastard," she walked along, passing him as his eyes widen, shocked at her malice towards him.

Most of the morning proved unsuccessful, much to Sasuke's dismay. Sakura had been quite mean today, pushing him towards the beehive that he provoked with a stick at the first venue. The second venue was too small according to Kana's guest list of three hundred. That's right, three hundred. Sakura had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Kana told her. The third venue apparently lacked a huge water pond, something that Kana requested a venue had so that they could marry in front of it. Kana expected too much if she wanted to get married in Konoha. The fourth venue proved disappointing as well, especially when Sasuke accidently knocked a vase that was handed down through the owner's family at the venue. Sigh. It was almost noon when Sakura and Sasuke stopped to the fifth place, expectations seemingly dwindling as they went from location to location. This venue, however, had an iridescent quality.

"Try not to do anything stupid here, Sasuke," Sakura smiled as he rolled his eyes.

It wasn't too big, but felt big enough to house three hundred. The building held the traditional Japanese theme to it, cobble stone leading a long path towards the entrance where two huge Sakura trees seemed to frame the venue. The inside, however, proved to be quite fancy. The floors were granite, a white background with accented black specks. The outside of the building did not do the inside justice, for when they walked in, the place seemed to open up. In the center held a fountain, designed with intricate swirls and symbols Sakura didn't understand. It was calming. And that was just the front office. She turned to hear a door sliding, but frowned quickly when she saw the person walking in to greet them. He too, frowned slightly as she saw her, but offered a rather fake smile.

"Hello, my name is Sai," he continued with the fake smile, "How can I help you?"

"Hi, we were looking at this place for a wedding," Sakura politely smiled back, her fists in a clench as they stared at each other. Sasuke raised a brow at her fists, but shrugged it off.

"Oh, you two are getting married?" Sai looked at her indifferently. "I didn't know you were capable of finding someone who actually wanted to deal with you."

Sasuke's eyes widen a bit, his frowning etching deeper. How dare he talk to her like that? Wait, what? He sighed quietly, looking off to the side.

"Just show us around, please," Sakura snapped at him, crossing her arms as she felt tears brimming in the corner of her eyes.

Sai turned around, motioning the two to follow as he slid the door open again, revealing a courtyard. This place seemed to be a big square, the courtyard in the middle with no roof as Sakura looked up, feeling the wind breeze through and her hair fluttering in the wind. This place was perfect. In front of them was a long, flat runway, with a big size like yard on both side of the landing strip to act as seating. Where the runway ended, Sakura could see the water pond Kana wanted. Sakura trees once again framed the pond, acting as an arch where the bride and groom would stand in front of. The soothing waterfall that trickled down into the pond added a romantic ambiance, swaying Sakura to sleep.

"This would be the wedding ceremony," Sai unemotionally stated as he led the two closer in front of the pond, "see those two separate stairs leading into the building across from us? One side would be the bride, the other the groom. And then we have another section for the reception."

Sakura nodded, too entranced by the venue. She looked at Sasuke who was currently glaring…at Sai? His eyes flickered an even greater annoyance than this morning as he continued to glower. What the heck is his problem?

"How do you know Sakura?" Sasuke's dark voice made Sakura shiver. From pleasure or fear, she hadn't decided.

"What?" she stared at him, but he ignored her.

"Well?"

Sai smiled at Sasuke, the fake gesture annoying him even more. "We went out a while ago, but I broke it off with her."

Sakura was stunned with the blunt answer, a bit hurt that he wasn't even affected by the break up. She was certainly depressed and indulged in ice cream, sobbing with a quiet Ino, especially when she found out why he did from someone else. He didn't have the nerve to tell her.

"But it seems I am surprised," Sai looked at her, "to think you got a guy to propose to you. It's pathetic how you had to lower your expectations for this guy. A traitor."

Before Sakura could retort with a chakra filled punch to his face, she heard a huge splash and found herself drenched from head to toe. She gasped as she looked at the pond, finding Sasuke landing a punch at Sai. The two fought, flailing in the water as the koi fish frantically tried to escape the ruckus. By time Sakura pulled Sasuke away and out of the pond, security guards pushed them out, leaving the two wet and venue less.

"I told you to not do anything stupid," Sakura seethed angrily. "Why did you do that?"

He stared at her, an unfathomable expression on his face. He shrugged and turned around, walking back towards his compound.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, you jerk," she marched behind him, pulling his collar backwards.

Before she could process anymore, she felt warmth on her lips, his hands cradling her face delicately, as he lightly brushed his lips across hers. She froze, her lips yielding to his as if it acted on her own. People passed by, "awing" at the two apparent "lovers." She shivered from delight but realized what was happening and pulled away. He tried pulling her towards him, but she pushed away again, this time punching his jaw. She left in a huff.

Don't wait or say a single vow, you need to

hear me out and they said,

"Speak Now."


A/N: It's going to be a while before I update again. There's only three chapers left in this story. See what I mean? I can't write or pull out what I want to put into this story. :( However, the next three chapters hold A LOT of important things. I'm excited to share them with you, so please, reviews?

Reviews would be nice. It'd make me feel better. But for now, just don't expect any updates until I get over this gloomy depression.

stay classy.
