Disclaimer: I don't't own Naruto but I do own Sauke because I'm Haruno Sakura! Hihihihi!..Naah..just kidding. Okay I don't own any of them. Just pretending to be one to feed my needs. Hahaha! Here I go again, being pathetic. Okay I'll stop this crap once and for all and start with my story..
I just hope you'll like this story. I've written this for just about only two days. Would you believe it? (I'm being a superwoman here.) Kidding aside, I've written this for just a short time just because I'm inspired with the song I've putted here. If I tell you what song it is, it will definitely spoil the fic.
A little bit song-fic but mainly focused on Sasuke and Sakura. Of course I like them both. Obviously this is a SasuSaku fic. I hope you'll like this one. I hope it'll make you fall in love again.

Chapter 1: "Thoughts of you"The daylight in the Konoha Village is too bright to see. It was a normal day for everyone but not to Haruno Sakura. She woke up from a beautiful and blissful dream. A dream that every girl wish for. A dream that you wish would never make up from. A dream that seemed like eternity. She knows she always have this usual dream but this time it was different. Fro her, it was the best of the best. She was with the man of her dreams. The perfectly figure of a man that would make you fall over your heels with. She was talking about this raven-haired man with his dark onyx eyes. Yes, it was Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. She dreamed of him by her side under a Sakura Tree spending his time with her telling her how much he loves her. It was all good to be true. But then reality byte really bites. It will never happen in her real life because Uchiha Sasuke was Uchiha Sasuke.The same cold hearted person and always have this smirk on his face and blank eyes.
Sakura sighed and glanced at her clock. It was already six in the morning, one hour before her training with team 7. She decided to go back to her sleep but then immediately changed her mind. She would go for a walk. She walked into her bathroom, took a bath and changed into her training outfit. She would spend her free time to think over some things. She looked at her bathroom mirror and notice her hair was long again from being cut off in Chuunin Exam. Yes, she graduated and now she is now training to be a Jounin. She changed for the better. She was no longer the weak Sakura and she can now defend herself from any danger. On the contrary, still she's no compare to Sasuke and Naruto. She can never be in the same level with them. But she's the strongest among the girls who's training to be a Jounin. Tsunade was proud of her. A lot of things have changed concerning about her. Almost everyone in the Konoha Village is very happy for her at the same time proud of her. One more thing that had changed was she was no longer that nagging when it comes to Sasuke. She would always keep her distance away from him for him not to be annoyed. She knows that it's better that way for her not be hurt. Still, he loves Sasuke with all her heart. She would just try to hide that fact since he told her that he'll never feel the same way to her. She was deeply hurt by that time but then she managed to stand up again. She'll just continue to love him in silence because in silence she found no rejection and pain. Only in silence she can own Sasuke alone. She would always look him from a distance, making sure he's okay. For her, there are some things that is better not to be showed or talked about. She was now more private, more refined and silent. Sometimes it hurts her to know that she have no one to talk to when she feels so lonely and whenever she wants to talk about how much she love Sasuke. She just keeps it inside to avoid rejection. There are so many things that stopping her whenever she plans to leave Sasuke and let her feelings fade with the wind. She always told herself that he needs someone to love him no matter what, that he needs someone to be there for him and support him all the way. Just because he never was blessed with that kind of gift since he was a child. Sakura tried to smile. 'Yes this is my life now. There's no turning back.' She thought. Sometimes she would feel sad but knowing her so well, she would always have this perky smiling face to cover up her true feelings. For her, it would be best if she would just pretend for her teammates would not be worry. She loves her teammates and she really cares for them. In short they're her life now. Her friends that she called her second family. Even though Sasuke is like that to her, she was thankful enough that he was with her as teammate. She was contented with it. 'Nothing more to ask for' as she walked out of her room. She was now living on her own. Last year after she passed the Chuunin Exam, she decided to live independently, which her parents were proud of. They would just visit her once a month to check on her. She fumbled for her keys to secure her apartment. Then she started to walk through the streets of the Konoha Village. The sun is shining too bright and its rays touched her skin. Warm breeze suddenly blew and then she smiled. 'This is Life!'
Time passes by as things continue to change. The people seem to be happier nowadays and they seem to be contented with it. People knew there's nothing to worry about because the entire region was now at peace. No devastation only tranquility. As Sasuke woken up from a normal night sleep, he glanced over the window. But as always, even though it was a beautiful morning, it has no effect on him. He glanced to his clock; it's already six thirty in the morning. He walked off from his bed and gone to shower. He came out of the bathroom, dripping wet with his hair falling on his face. [Okay girls, get drooled! ] he grabbed the white clean towel that's been hanging behind her bedroom door. Wiped his face and his hair. Came out for a matter of seconds. He reached into his kitchen to find any food from his fridge. All the food seemed to be ready to cook; of course he's just living by himself. Plus the fact that he's not so into food, just to have something to please his stomach is enough. He grabbed the box of milk, put it on the glass, and then drank it with no hesitation. Sasuke wasn't into caffeine; he just doesn't like the taste. For about five minutes he just stood there at the kitchen sink thinking. The pink-haired shinobi suddenly popped into his mind. With those emerald eyes smiling at him made him shiver down to his spine. 'What the hell? Here I go again, thinking of her again. This is just a crap!' he thought. He was always like this whenever he's alone. No one knew that he had changed for the better now. He wasn't like before, always the cold-hearted person. Whenever his team was on a mission, he would always try his very best to protect all of them. They've grown very close to each other. He'd learn to care and love them. His team who accepted him as a family. Sometimes he would tell himself that his team was now his family that needed to be protected by him. They don't know, he would stake his life just for them. He sighed and washed the glass. He walked in his bedroom. Changed to his training outfit then grabbed all his shurinkens and kunais from his desk. All of a sudden, he stopped and then his gaze turned to the silver picture frame. The picture of his teammates. Kakashi was standing behind them, as usual reading his prized possession: "Come, Come Paradise", Naruto, well, always being Naruto and Sakura...always have this smiling face. 'Sakura…' Her name escaped from his lips into a whisper. It's been one year since the Chuunin Exam was over and a lot of things have changed. Especially her. She was no longer the annoying girl. He observed it every time they are in a mission. She would always keep her distance from him. Sakura has matured to a better woman. Stronger than before. Yes, he loves her but just too afraid to show it. He can't just simply tell it to her just like that because he's an avenger. He's not a normal person and don't have a normal life. He would always think that he could never be like them. He will always search for more power to avenge his clan. It's not best for them especially for her. He knew, he would only hurt her if he would confess to her then leave her just like that. Plus, the fact that he has many other things to deal with. He put all his kunais and shurinkens in his bag, and then with one last look at the picture he thought, 'It's better this way.' With that he's off to train. He went to his usual spot. For a moment, he inhaled the sweet scent of the summer breeze then he sighed. 'So hard to be like this.' He sat under the Sakura Tree not knowing it was a Sakura Tree. Moments passed, the wind blew and the petals of Sakura started to fall down. He caught one petal on his palm and opened it to see it was a Sakura he said in a whisper, "Sakura…." Tears suddenly rolled down from his eyes onto his cheeks. For the first time in his life, he cried. Just because it was also his first time to love a woman like Sakura. And yet it can't happen mainly because of him. He thought he's no deserving man for her. That he still needs more power to be stronger enough to protect her. And for another reason that he never wanted to happen that hurtful experience again. 'I hope she'll understand…' he thought. Suddenly he glanced at his wristwatch. "Six forty-five. Time to train." With that he stood up from his seat and started to walk. With one last look at the Sakura on his palm he said, "Aishiteru Sakura, but I can't stay…" then he slowly blew it off away with the wind…
