Do not own Naruto.

One month later...

My beautiful green dress flowed behind me as I ran through the rose garden. My pink hair shined against the suns rays. Charles was gone on a business trip on delaying the wedding for 6 more months and so now I was able to run free of his wrath and scolding for being "to happy". I chased the yellow butterflies into the large maze blindly. Suddenly I heard foot steps behind me, when I turned around I saw Sasuke with a smirk on his face as he chased after me.

I giggled and ran faster, trying to loose him. 'Left, now right, now another left. Ah!' I screamed at myself as I ran into a dead end. I turned back to see a smirking Sasuke as he closed in on me. "Sa. ku. ra-chan. Its not very smart to run from me. You know you were never faster then me." He said mockingly.

I blushed and smiled. "Ne Sasuke-kun! I just wanted to have some fun! Is that so wrong?" I pouted in a childish way. He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Not at all princess." He whispered as he kissed my forehead.

I tilted my head up just in time to feel his lips brush against mine. I felt him stiffen and his hand rest on the side of my face as he pulled me closer to his lips. It was all in slow motion. The warmth from his touch was soothing as it turned from hot to cold in flashes. Our eyes drooped as we came closer. We were just about to kiss when, "Sakura-chan! Where are you!" Charles voice yelled loudly. The spot here Sasuke once stood was suddenly empty as Charles rounded the corner.

I straightened myself up as he approached. "Sakura, where have you been?" He demanded. "Chasing some butterfluies and just enjoying freedom." I stated bluntly. "We don't have time for your childish antics." He said harshly before roughly grabbing my wrist. I heard a low growl before I was dragged into the castle.

"Enough charles! Is it illegal now for me to enjoy my day?" I yelled at him, causing me to get slapped across the face. "You do not talk to me like that! You will be lucky if you can even leave myside." He threatened as he yanked me back up.

"Now act like everything is fine and I won't go back to the cellar." He warned. When he threatened to go to the cellar, it was him threatening to get drunk. He has been getting worse and worse lately for the past month.

I looked into his eyes and winced at the lust and revenge seeking eyes. "You have been drinking haven't you?" I asked him. He smirked before kissing me roughly. "You know me so well Saku-chan." He said smuggly as he grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hall way. "Hey! Sakura-chan! I need your help!" Naruto yelled from the dinning area.

"Charles, I must go see what the blondie wants." I begged. He nodded before he let go. I ran into the dinning room and was met with the door shutting. "Sakura-chan...explain what just happened." I turned around and was met with Naruto's evil glare. "I...I don't know what your talking about." I stuttered out before moving my hair so it covered the slap mark.

"Sakura-chan don't lie to me please." Naruto begged as he moved my hair away to show the red mark. "Its...Naruto its nothing, I fell." I lied. "Sakura-chan. Do. Not. Lie. To. Me! I WATCHED HIM HIT YOU!" He yelled at me. I coward away and looked away. "I am sorry.." I whispered. His face softened as he brought me into a hug.

"Sakura-chan...you have nothing to be sorry about... I am just upset you won't trust me enough to tell me." He whispered. I looked away..." He is drunk Naruto-kun. This happens when he is drunk. But you can't do anything about it. If I don't marry him our kingdoms will go to war and then its over for my kingdom. We are just a medic country, we don't have the shinobi power like the Uchiha or Hyugga." I muttered as I hugged him tight.

"I will find a way." He promised before letting me go. "Have you talked to teme since the whole thing?" He asked suddenly. 'Lie' "No...I...I love him so much and yet...I haven't been able to tell him that again." I stuttered. "You told him you loved him before? What did he say to that?" He asked curiously. "He...I don't think he does. He didn't say it back or even acknowledge it." I whispered as I sniffed.

He hugged me tighter. "I am so sorry Sakura-chan." I just nodded and stood there in his arms. 'How I wish this was Sasuke. How I wish Sasuke could stop these tears from wanting to spill...' "Sakura-hime...Charles-san has requested you meet him in the library." A maid informed me before leaving the room.

"Sakura, if he hurts you...you tell me immediately." He whispered before letting go and leaving the room. 'Guess I better meet charles then...' I thought to myself as I too, headed out the door.

Back in my room...6 hours later...

I sighed as I entered into my bedroom. Charles had ordered a dinner for everyone to attend. Oh and did I mention it was BORING! I sighed again as I walked into my closet and grabbed my night gown. I changed and slipped into the soft pink silk gown. 'Thank goodness we changed the wedding date... If it wasn't for the war coming closer to home, I would be marrying 'mr. Asshole' and then I wouldn't be able to see Sasuke-kun again.'

I walked to the window and slid it open so Sasuke could come in. "Yawn" I stretched and sat on my bed with a book ready to be studied. I didn't even hear him as he suddenly hugged me from behind. "Hello Sasuke-kun. Your early?" I said with a smile. He smiled back and nuzzled my neck.

"Well I wanted to see you before "he" came in here and then afterwards. I like seeing you happy sometimes." He pointed out as he held me between his legs and opened the book for us both to read. I frowned for a second and then smiled again. 'He always sees me after Charles and I argue...its not fair he can't see me happy.' Sasuke and I have grown closer for this past month.

He would hold me at night when u cried and saved me from the nightmares when I slept. The downfall was...I was falling in love with him and yet he wouldn't tell me he loved me. We haven't kissed, no couning earlier, just hugged and cuddled.

"Sasuke-kun...Do you like me?" I asked suddenly. It was silent and I could feel him tense up behind me. "No." He said with no emotions. "Would you be upset if I married Charles?" I asked in a whisper. More silence. "No"

"Would you sad if I closed the window forever and never allowed you back in?" "No"Would you cry if I was to jump out that window and die right now?" I asked in a whisper. I could feel my own heart shatter as he answered "No..." The tears came without warning and I struggled out of his grip. I couldn't allow him to see these tears that I promised not to show.

"Sakura-chan wait." He whispered and he held me tighter and burried his head in my hair. "I wouldn't cry if you jumped because I would never let you get close the the window. I wouldn't be sad if you wouldn't let me back in because I can't live without you. I wouldn't be upset if you married Charles because you will never get that chance.

Because Sakura, I don't like you, I...
