"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"
Silver eyebrows rose almost to hairline in surprise, and the kunoichi covered her mouth in horror. A blush was quickly spreading across her 24 year old features.
"Y-you know...as a friend...no...um...I just...I'm sorry!" Damn it all, she hadn't meant to just blurt it out like that! But as he had told her he was going on a long mission and wouldn't be back for a couple weeks...she had told him not to go. Naturally he had asked why, in a slightly irked voice. So her response had been this very loud, very bold confession.
She supposed she had been keeping it secret for so long it had just erupted. Similar to a volcano that's been building up magma for 1000 years.
"S-so just forget I said anything...I'll...see you in a couple weeks, um...bye..." she quickly turned to leave this nightmare of a situation, only to find herself pinned between the wall and the object of her affection's body.
"You love me...like that?"
She blushed scarlet.
"Y-yes." There, the truth was out there. Hatake Kakashi, the man she had know for half her life, sighed in content.
"Thank the stars for that..." she blinked in confusion. "Because I love you too." His soft, uncovered lips descended down on hers in a gentle kiss that was the start of something so much more.
Sakura supposed that in the end, sometimes it's better to simply shout out as loud as you can the things you keep deep inside your heart.
