WHO IS SHE?

They were the best of friends and she had to leave. They met again but she doesn't recognize him. It's been years after she left. 'How could this be?' SASUSAKU


THE TRUTH

"excuse me miss Sakura but dinner is ready" the maid confirmed

"thanks, I'll be right down" Sakura stated. She combed her hair and headed down. There she saw Mrs. Uchiha and Sasuke waiting by the table.

"where's Itachi?" she asked

"he'll be home late. Have to do some business"

"ok then" then they started eating.

"uhm, excuse me auntie but. . . any news about my parents

"no dear, I'm afraid not." She replied. She saw the frown on Sakura's face 'oh dear'. They all finished and went back to their respected rooms. Sakura decided to take a long refreshing shower.

"hn. . ." Sasuke was in his room, browsing through his paper works. "more paper work, how annoying" He drank a cup of coffee and sat down on his bed. 'I'm tired'

"that's it, I'm officially taking a shower" He quickly stood up and headed to the bathroom. Not knowing there was a person inside, he quickly opened the door, entered then went straight to the shower room. As he entered the shower room, he saw a naked Sakura taking her shower 'I'm dead!'. Sakura turned around and saw Sasuke who was still staring right at her.

"S-sasuke. . .you pervert!" she gave him a mighty punch and made Sasuke fall on his back. She quickly grabbed her bathrobe and ran to her room. 'that hurts, damn you woman' Sasuke stood up and entered the now vacant shower room. He turned the faucet and took a shower 'but still, she did have a nice body'


There was a knock on Sakura's door. "come in" she shouted. The person which seems to be Sasuke entered.

"you! If you're here to peep on me again then stop it." She said

"hn, I'm not what you think I am" he replied

"you could at least apologize"

"hn, apologize? It wasn't my fault that you were still there. There's no need for me to apologize for nothing. And I came here to tell you that I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. You'd better behave yourself" He gave her a warning stare and went out of her room.

"that. . .that jerk!" by the time she was finished with everything, she went to sleep.


"hey, Sakura, is it true?" a boy approached her

"what?" she replied

"that you'd be leaving tomorrow"

"how did you know?"

"my brother told me, is it really true?"

"yes"

"so we won't be seeing each other for years."

"I know" she was now crying "anyway I'll be back before you know it" she said in a cheerful voice

"you'd better or else I'll get mad at you"

"I promise"

"then I'll wait, for your return"

---

"Sakura, meet Gaara, he will be your fiancé" a man spoke. Then a tall red-headed guy entered.

"hi, Sakura, It's a pleasure to meet you"

"but father, I don't want to marry someone that I don't love." She complained.

"I know Sakura, but you have no choice. We've arranged the marriage next week"

"next week! But I still have to visit . ."

"he'll have to wait. I can't let you go now. You'll have to wait until after the wedding"

"I don't care! I'll keep my promise to him" she left and cried on her bed


The next day . . .

'I dreamt about him, again.' - "I don't care! I'll keep my promise to him" - 'who was I referring to? Who is he?' - "then I'll wait, for your return" - 'that boy? Who is he?'

"Excuse me miss Sakura but breakfast is ready" the maid stated from outside the door

"ok then" she went out and stopped in front of his room. 'he's on a business trip, he won't be back until this evening. Which means a little peaking through his stuff won't hurt one bit' she entered his white and blue room like a little thief and scanned through his stuff.

"ouch!" a box fell on her hair as she leaned on his book shelf. 'what's this?' she opened the box and found a big photo album 'what did he look like when he was a child? I wonder. . .' To her surprise, she wasn't expecting what she just saw.

"it's me! When I was young." She kept on looking at her photos until she saw it "the boy, beside me, it's him, the boy in my my dreams. He's actually Sasuke!" she was shocked to know the truth. 'it was him that I left behind. It was him that I was looking for. He's the reason why I came here in the first place' she kept on flipping through the pages. She saw more pictures of her, Sasuke and Itachi. Both of them were had happy faces while playing around.

"so. . . you've found out." She turned around and saw Mrs. Uchiha by his door.

"tell me auntie, what were we when we were still that young? I keep on dreaming about him, why is that?"

"look at the cover one more time." Sakura closed the album and looked at the cover 'BEST OF FRIENDS'

"yes Sakura, believe it or not, you and Sasuke were the best of friends when you were young. To tell you the truth, he'd been waiting for your return ever since you left. He kept his promise hoping that you kept yours" she explained

"anyway I'll be back before you know it"

"you'd better or else I'll get mad at you"

"I promise"

"then I'll wait, for your return"

'it was that time'


Meanwhile, by the Hyuuga Mansion . . .

"Excuse me miss Hinata but you have a visitor" Hinata went down to see who it was.

"uhm H-hi, I'm H-hinata. What's y-your intention?" Hinata introduced

"were men sent by Mr. Haruno" the 2 men said

"Mr. H-haruno? Y-you mean S-sakura's father"

"so you do know her, he sent us here to ask for her location."

"her l-location? You m-mean the U-uchiha Mansion"

"so that's where she is. Thanks for your help Ms. Hyuuga" then the 2 men left

'I have to tell Sakura'


Back at the Uchiha Mansion. . .

"I remember now" Sakura stated while she reached for her necklace "he gave this to me as a sign of our friendship"

"so, do you remember everything now?"

"yes, yes I do!"

"that's great" Mrs. Uchiha exclaimed "Sasuke will be happy"

Sakura smiled. 'do I really have to marry him?'

"Sakura, meet Gaara, he will be your fiancé"

'That guy'

"is something wrong my dear?"

"no, nothing, I'm just glad"


So the truth finally comes out.

Hope it went well.
