He had a normal life. A sweet mother, a strict father and loving elder brother. He went to a normal school and lived in a normal society.
But the facade broke down, when at the age of twenty-four, he noticed something about himself. He had all but stopped growing four years back.
He had first noticed it in the difference in the photographs, or lack of differences. He had ignored it back then. But when years went on without any change in his physical appearence, he had to accept his weird condition. He was an human immortal.
With the acceptance came the beginning of dreams or nightmares, depending upon the vision involving jade green eyes, pink hair and a very beautiful girl.
The abnormality of it all forced him to shut himself from the society unless he wanted people to notice.
Unlike hin, time had not stopped for others, so with great difficulty he beared the passing of his parents and grieved as Itachi grew older everyday, knowing he will be all alone after his death.
It was a few months before Itachi's death that two other immortals, who went by the names Kakashi and Naruto, had tracked him down.
So here he was, a decade after Itachi's death in the company of a loud idiot and a lazy pervert, his new family, hunting down some old snakeman who experimented on humans.
They had stopped in an old town to rest before moving to the next location and if he had to listen Naruto one more time complaining about the lack of ramen, he will probably lose his shit.
"Shut the fuck up, Dobe," he snapped at Naruto getting up to leave the room.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" The blonde growled, "he needs to get laid, that asexual asshole."
Kakashi only giggled at the scene in his Icha Icha book, before turning the page.
Sasuke shoved his hands in his pocket, walking in to the forest adjacent to the inn, Naruto's last words ringing in his ears. It wasn't that he didn't think about girls, it was just he only thought of the pink haired and green eyed girl of his dreams.
She was always in his mind, sometimes smiling and calling his name and sometimes crying in anguish. He couldn't shrug of her thought as much as he tried.
His musings stopped abruptly as he sensed another presence going deeper into the forest. He followed the hooded figure, his suspicion rising. It could be one of Orochimaru's underling.
He immediately yanked the person back resulting in a feminine gasp from her. He pushed her to the ground thinking he had her under control until she flipped them around holding a dagger to his jugular.
A sharp intake of breath had his attention brought the the girl and he felt everything froze.
It was her. Pink hair and bright green eyes. Everything was the same except the purple diamond on her forehead.
"S-Sasuke-kun..."
Her shaky voice was very familiar, so were the tears rolling down her cheeks as she ran her dainty fingers all over his face.
A searing pain flashed in his head as another life's worth memories played like a record player inside his mind. He swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat as his eyes cleared from the haze, the small figure of the woman coming into his focus.
She wasn't just any woman. She was his wife.
"Sakura..." he softly murmured her name, causing her to tighten her arms around him; as she cries into his chest, repeating his name like a mantra.
"Did I make you wait too long?"
"Too long, Sasuke-kun, too long," his heart clenched seeing her tears.
"I am sorry..." he apologized, bringing her lips to his in a very desperate kiss, their souls humming in relife.
They broke apart staring deeply into each other's eyes.
"Please, don't leave me again,"
"Never again, Sakura" he promised, pulling her into another kiss.
"My wife."
Kakashi and Naruto gaped at their dark haired teammate as he introduced the pink haired woman clutching his arm shyly.
"Hello, I am Sakura." She blushed slightly as they continued to stare at her with wide eyes. Sasuke frowned hitting the blonde's upside his head. Both of them came back to the present as Naruto stared hyperventilating.
"What the fuck!? What the ACTUAL fuck!?" He screamed pointing at Sasuke. "You went out as an asexual asshole and came back with a wife? A WIFE !! Did you kidnapped her or something?"
He turned towards the girl who was now peeking at him from behind Sasuke after his outbrust. He smiled brightly showing off his teeth.
"Hello, Naruto here, nice to meet you Sakura-chan,"
Sasuke's eye twitched as he heard him call his wife so familiarly. He looked back at Kakashi as he too smiled behind his mask.
"I am Kakashi." He said ruffling her hair a little. "Welcome to the family."
His own lips curled upwards seeing them getting along, she had been the only one missing in his life, making it whole.
