A year and ½ later
I was scared; there was no doubt about it. Something like this was more important; more complicated then some of the missions I have ever been on. I could easily mess this up. I can just feel the nerves bundling together in my stomach, but it didn't make me sick, no, it made me excited.
"Are you ready?" Hinata asked in front of me. I took a deep breath to calm my self. I can do this. I'm awesome and sexy so I can do this.
"Yeah, let's do this." I said with a smirk. Almost instantly on que, the wooden doors opened to a large crowd of people who looked back at me in awe. I knew what they would see- a young innocent girl with pink curls and a gorgeous white gown. Up ahead, you could see my friends –Hinata, Ino and Tenten- all waiting for me side by side.
I made it up the aisle way to quickly it seemed, but when I made it up the three marble steps, a man's hand met mine. I looked up into deep green eyes and a cold smile. The nerves tightened in my stomach again, only this time out of disgust.
Don't get me wrong, he was quite good looking, with a medium build and layered blonde hair. Any girl could've fallen under his spell, and apparently many had considering the lifeless corpses he had left scattered along the country.
We said our vows quickly- mine being a fake heart filled letter that made some people in the audience cry. When our arms linked together and the bottle of wine touched our lips, I looked out at my friends and smiled before drinking the liquid. The crowd erupted, but my almost 'husband' let out a cough followed by another.
"Honey?" I asked with fake concern, "Honey!" I screamed when I saw him drop to his knees. With in a few minutes the poison had worked, rendering him dead. I fell to the floor, hugging his lifeless body as if I actually cared for it. "No!" I cried between fake sobs and obviously my whole charade began to work when Ino pretended to pull me away saying 'I'd ruin any evidence.'
When it was all done and over with, I found me and two teams (Hinata, Ino, Tenten-Team 16), (Sasuke, Naruto, Sai and Kakashi- Team 7), jumping through the trees back home. Sasuke had fallen into step next to me and stayed beside me till we reached the hotel.
~!~
I looked out at the sunset, watching it paint bright colors across the sky.
"It's pretty, isn't it Sasuke?" I asked looking back at said man who had just come out onto the roof. He smiled briefly, which was rare, and nodded. He walked over beside me and leaned up against the roof's safety line.
"You did well today; completely believable actually." I smirked in reply and shrugged my shoulders.
"I just had to pretend I was happy." He looked at me intrigued.
"Are you happy now? With your life?"
"Yes," I said smiling out to the fading sun, "I am." After a moment of silence, I looked back and saw Sasuke dangling a ring from his finger, reaching his hand our as if coaxing a dog, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Good, now marry me." I laughed.
"Wow how… sweet," I said through a smirk, "but I must decline. I am not a dog. I do not do whatever my master wishes." Sasuke smirked and moved toward me, opening my palm and placing the ring, which had a gold band and a cute diamond on it, in my palm and closing my hand around it before kneeling down on one knee.
"Will you marry me Sakura Haruno?" His voice was raspy and I could sense the nervousness in his body. It was then I realized the gravity of the situation, and nervousness ran through my body too.
"Didn't anyone tell you about manners?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He rolled his eyes, but smirked.
"Will you marry me Sakura Haruno, please?" He asked again, looking into my eyes. I couldn't help the smile. I dropped to my knees and hugged him.
"Yes." I said as a whisper, "I will."
