UNCERTAIN

When the winter's bitter wind calms down, Spring comes in and takes over. One day, a teenage boy, Inuzuka Kiba, came walking back from walking his dog, Akamaru. It was one of those weeks when the school had those 1 week long Spring vacations, so Kiba was free. He walked around a big, large tree in the middle of the park. When Sping time would come, the tree would pop up some cherry blossom flowers, and that would be the time when it was most beautiful.

But since Spring has not come yet, the flowers hasn't bloom. Kiba sagged his shoulder a bit, and he was about to walk away until he saw a hint of a figure behind the tree.

That figure turned out to be a girl about the same age as him.

Her hair went down shoulder length, with beautiful pink hair just like the cherry blossoms. Her hair matched her red clothing, as they went all the way down to her knees. And above all that, her emerald eyes stood out the most.

The girl felt his presence and looked at Kiba, who was looking back at her.

"…Who are you?"

"Eh… Me? I'm a student who wants to become one of the greatest ninja"

"Huh… That must be hard. I felt your presence, and I was wondering who it was. And it just turned out to be you"

"'just turned out to be you'? What do you mean by 'just'…?"

"Oh nothing, I was hoping for more of a handsome looking guy"

Kiba glared at the girl by her offending words.

What was that suppose to mean? Is she saying that I don't look good enough for her? Well, I may not be the most wonderful looking guy in the world… but… she doesn't have to push it.

God, who does she think she is?

Kiba thought and immediately felt depressed at his pessimistic emotions. If only Hinata were here…

Kiba was always with this girl, Hinata. And he was always interested in her.

"But… I guess you can't meet handsome guys anytime you want to… But I think I'm a bit lucky today"

"…Eh?"

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Me? It's… Inuzuka Kiba"

"Huh, that's a great name. I guess you like dogs, right? …And it shows since that dog always sticks by your side"

Oh, right.

I was too busy looking at this girl that I forgot about Akamaru. Man, she makes me forget about Akamaru? Who is she?

"Ku-n"

"Y-yeah, sorry there, Akamaru…"

"Akamaru? What kind of personality do you have?"

"S-shut up… It's my dog, so I can name it anything I want, right!"

"Well, yeah…"

Kiba wanted to punch her, how dare she make fun of Akamaru… But… I just couldn't get myself to ruin that beauty of hers…

"…Hey, you ask for somebody's name, but you don't give yours?"

"Oh, I forgot… My name is Sakura. Haruno Sakura"

DOKI…

…What a perfect name for her…

It's such a pretty name… Just like that tree, the flowers haven't bloomed yet, but she's just as bright and just as mature…

And on top of it, she's pretty, and she always seems happy… She may attack people with her words without noticing, but I guess that kind of matches with her personality…

Kiba's heart started to feel a little different than before. Some how, just looking at her made him feel calm, and his heart was just ready to float.

"So, um, Kiba… right? What are you doing here?"

"Well, it's Spring, so I wanted to see if the cherry blossoms were blooming yet…"

Kiba blushed and replied with a murmur.

"Just like me then, huh? But… I guess it's not blooming yet. It's m favorite season of the year, too. How depressing…"

Holy shit, her sad voice is cute, too!

"But… isn't it going to bloom, tomorrow?"

"That would be nice… Hey, tell me where you live"

"WHAT?"

"Next time, I'll come over to play, so show me"

"…Um… I live alone but… my house is just over there"

"Eh? This one?"

Her finger pointed directly at Kiba's house.

Kiba's house was just right next to the park, so it was noticible. Sakura looked at it for about five seconds.

"Okay then, I'll come over to play next time! Well, I have some stuff to do, so bye!"

That pink haired girl started to run away, getting farther away from him. Her hair swayed back and forth with the wind.

I still remember that voice.

I still remember that look.

The wind started blowing, and Kiba's hoodie fell off of his head. But Kiba ignored it and stood in place, still gazing over the tree.

The tree stood proudly at its place; strong, and perfect.

Just like that girl, Haruno Sakura…

She never left my mind from the day on…

We only met at the park by accident, and we somehow got into talking with each other… And then she always looked at me…

The next day, Kiba woke up in the morning at 10:00. For boys, it was common for them to sleep until later in the morning, but Kiba was one of those few people who woke up earlier.

He ate breakfast, and soon went outside. When he landed his foot upon the park's region, he saw no signs of a human life form. He walked up to the tree, maybe that girl wasn't real? Maybe it was only his imagination?

"…I said I would come over to your house… But you're already here…"

"Wha-? SAKURA…!"

"What's with that surprised look? How stupid!"

"…S-shut up…"

She came like she said she would…

"The flowers aren't blooming yet, huh?"

"But… isn't it blooming soon?"

"How can you tell?"

"Eh…?"

Sakura's face was so close to Kiba's as she asked him the question.

I-I don't know how to deal with this kind of situation of you're so close to me, S-sakuraaaa……

"Well, um… eh… Whenever you're around… um, it just feels like it's going to bloom… you know…?"

"HUH? What's that suppose to mean? That can't even surpass that as a joke!"

"Wha-! Well I was thinking about it!"

Then a sudden wind blew, almost blowing us off of our feet.

"Ah!"

Ah, hey! You okay, Sakura?"

"Oh, uh, yeah. It's just a little sand got in my eye…"

Sakura grabbed Kiba's offered hand to help her up.

"You're pretty nice, Kiba!"

"Pretty? What do you mean by 'pretty'?"

Sakura smiled at him before looking back up at the tree. Kiba just stared at her.

"…Ah… Kiba! Look!"

"An?"

Just in front of their eyes, a perfect little flower bloomed on the tree. One by one, the cherry blossom bloomed slowly. The petals of the flower danced in the air as they fell, and once again, in this time of year, that beauty was born.

"It bloomed…"

"Yeah… Sakura sure is beautiful!"

Somehow, when Kiba said that 'Sakura sure is beautiful', he felt like he was saying it towards her, and not the tree…

"Haha… This scene is one of my most memorable scenes each year…"

Sakura watched the cherry blossoms and sighed lightly. And that pink hair of hers flew in the wind, just like the petals.

"So! Next time, I will come over to your house, so you better be home!"

"Yeah yeah, I know! I'll be home…"

"Even better, lets just go now"

"WHAT…!"

"What? You have something against that?"

"Well, it's not cleaned and…"

"That doesn't matter! Come on, let's go! I want to see your house, Kiba!"

Ugh, you may be fine about it, but I'm not… She pulls me to the porch of my house as I keep thinking of my worries.

I guess the cherry blossom tree was waiting for her, waiting for Sakura when it bloomed… Without her, I wouldn't have been able to see them.

Kiba looked back at the tree for the last time of the day before joining Sakura to his house.

All this time, I thought I liked Hinata…

Sakura… Right now, I think you may have just made me fall in…

-----------------------

A/N: I thought it would have effect if he wouldn't finish his sentence, but now I'm having doubts… Anyways, I kind of like how these two met. It's so… natural and real life like… I don't know what I'm talking about. I also named this 'uncertain' because well, when he said that he had a crush about Hinata and he didn't know what to do in a lot of events in this story, he was uncertain, undecided. So when Sakura came into his life, he finally assured that he liked her.
