Senko: You all know I just love Sakura ;D …er…not in a romantic way, though o.O;; well yeah, she muh favorite character in Naruto! So now I've got a couple SasuSaku ficcies for her and a NejiSaku ficcie for her! Now, I make an ItaSaku! Oh, by the way, I've been thinking of a GaaSaku vampire fic!
IMPORTANT: All of the characters will be 17 years old. I will be explaining what happened and how they all became friends in the next and/or future chapters. One last note, I know the first paragraph of this chapter is biased. However, I am only writing out what I see in many of the girl characters of Naruto when the series began. You remember how Sasuke has all those fan girls? Well, yeah, I am referring to them when I say "…the dream of every young girl…"
Summary: "I know you like these stupid stuffs. The lady at the antique store said you write a what-if sentence in it and it comes true – like what if Naruto had a brain." ItaSaku
Disclaimer: Me no own! DUH!
Chapter 1
It was the dream of every young girl – to fall in love with their prince charming or knight in shiny armor, marry him, and live happily ever after. But girls…aren't we picky? We want a guy who is good-looking, who is romantic, who has those mesmerizing eyes, who is mature but not too mature, who has a good sense of humor but not to the point where he is an idiot, who is mysterious but not so mysterious as to not tell us anything, who is dark... For Haruno Sakura, she held enough fortune to win that jackpot – but with various twists thrown into the story.
"Open it."
Confusion filled her jade orbs. How long had she waited for a moment like this? Nine years, was it? Or was it less? Ever since she was but seven years old, she had pictured countless scenerios like this. Was the Uchiha Sasuke really giving her a birthday present? Her eyes shifted down to the thin gift wrapped in silver wrapping paper with a thin, red ribbon.
Sakura's delicate fingers unwrapped the shimmery wrapping paper to reveal a thin, black hardcovered notebook. In the middle was carved in silver-colored letters 'Wish.' It was elegant. To the side was a matching pen. She looked at the Uchiha that stood in front of her, a stoic expression on his face. Behind him stood a reticent Hinata and a gleeful Naruto.
Naruto grinned. "Ta-da! Like it, Sakura-chan?"
"I'm supposed to ask that, moron. I gave her the gift," Sasuke glared at Naruto.
Naruto glared back. "Well, maybe if Sakura-chan can read minds I wouldn't have to say what you're thinking."
Sakura smiled. "It's beautiful, Sasuke-kun."
"Well, I know you like these kind of stuff," he replied. "The lady at the antique store said you write a what-if sentence in it and it comes true - like what if Naruto had a brain."
"What! You bastard!" Naruto attempted to lunge toward Sasuke but was held back by his girlfriend, Hinata.
"N-Naruto-kun, c-calm down," Naruto immediately calmed down at his girlfriend's words. He folded his arms with an expression that clearly declared he was about to give a show of bravado.
"You should be grateful, bastard. If it wasn't for Hinata-chan, I would've beaten you to a pulp and you would have faced great humidation."
Silence loomed for a second. "That's humiliation, moron, and whatever."
Hinata changed the subject. "Ah, uhm, S-Sakura-chan, why...why don't you write something?"
Suddenly, all the disputes between the Uchiha and Uzumaki seemed to have been history. Sakura was greeted with a gentle Hinata, grinning Naruto, and smirking Uchiha. "Well, I don't know. It might not even be true."
She had just turned seventeen. Stuff like this would seem untrue and childish, but perhaps there was still traces of the child she used to be that made her slightly eager to write something down and see if it would come true. A familiar voice broke her out of her thoughts. "Write something, Sakura-chan, like what if I became the Hokage!"
Was it because she was turning seventeen that she didn't feel that urge to punch him for saying that? If she could remember, she would always punch or yell at Naruto for showing any sign of being overconfident or perverted. Perhaps it was because she hadn't received a gift from him or Sasuke in three years. After her fifteenth birthday, Naruto returned. It wasn't until later that Sasuke returned to Konoha. A weak smile crept on her peach skin. She would write something. She would write a wish. She would write what she wished had never happened so that perhaps things would have been better off.
Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke waited for a moment as the pink-haired kunoichi quickly scribbled something down quickly on the front page of the notebook. She beamed once she was down, holding out the page for the three. "Ta-dah!"
Three pairs of eyes studied the single sentence. Two were in utter surprise while the other had a different reaction. Naruto stared at the sentence in confusion. "What if...the Uchiha Clan hadn't been...massa...massa-what?"
Sasuke's dark aura went unnoticed only to Naruto.
"Uhm...N-Naruto-kun, it says w-what if the Uchiha Clan...wasn't, uhm, k-killed," Hinata said.
"Oh! Well, then..." Naruto's constant grin immediately ceased. He glanced at Sasuke, wondering what reaction this drew from him. Just as expected, Sasuke hid all emotions.
"That's very thoughtful, Sakura," he said.
What if the Uchiha Clan hadn't been massacred?
Sakura bolted up awake. The once cerulean sky was now dominated with a reddish hue, and the bright sun that hung in the sky was now dropping beyond the horizon. She had fallen asleep. Looking around, she noticed that no one else was there.
"Shit," she whispered, quickly forcing herself up from the tree she laid under. She left, her destination the Yamanaka Flower Shop. Sakura sprinted across Konohagakure. Midway through her trip to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, she halted. Her attention was caught by the Uchiha estate just in front of her. The lights in the buildings were on and she could see the figures of some Konohagakure villagers roaming around. Odd. No one except the Uchiha surviver entered the Uchiha estate ever since the devastating Uchiha massacre.
Curious, she entered the Uchiha Estate. Something strange was going on. The faint traces of blood and the cold aura of death that was supposed to dominate the area was no longer there. A feeling of warmth and a sense of protection bloomed from the estate. Was she caught under a genjutsu? Or was this just a dream? Picking up her pace, Sakura soon broke out into a dash.
Standing in front of a large building were three girls, chatting and giggling. Sakura stopped before them. "Excuse me, what's going on tonight?"
The girls immediately stopped their chatter. One the girls had short, dark blue hair. She smiled. "They are announcing the fiancee of..."
"Itachi-sama!" all three girls squealed dreamily.
Another girl, with orange hair, grutned. "She is so lucky! It's just not fair! Itachi-sama should just be single forever!"
The three girls all concurred with a squeal.
Itachi? What the hell? Everything was getting stranger now. Sakura decided to enter the building. First, the Uchiha estate is alive again; now, Itachi has a fiancee? Puh-lease, what girl in her right mind would want to wed a cold-hearted and psychotic S-class criminal? Someone must have put a genjutsu on her. Sakura made her way through the lonely corridor and arrived at a closed door. She entered it.
"...for the future of this clan, and there she is. Please welcome Haruno Sakura, fiancee of Uchiha Itachi."
Suddenly, all eyes turned to the single kunoichi situation directly at the door and a round of applause filled the rather large room. The faces in the rooms were all familiar. Sakura stood in confusion as her eyes studied the room, taking note of people there. Hyuuga, Inuzuka, Yamanaka and more where all present. What was going on?
Senko: Well, what did you all think? Should I continue? Oh yeah, everything will be revealed in the next chapter, I think! If you review, please don't ask about it, OK? Oh yeah, will someone tell me if there really IS a rule that authors can no longer respond to reviews? T-T cause I read a fic and the author said that and then a few days later I got a couple of petitions petitioning the rule and yeah.
Last note, uhm, yeah, my story "First Love" might not be updated for a while. I am very busy with school, and I know that's not a really good reason. To tell the truth, I know how FL will end already. I'm just having difficulty with the action scene. A very nice authoress, I think her penname is yokaigirl(?), decided to help me and she has been a great help giving a lot of details and suggestions and she even gave me a random paragraph that I can use. It might take a while for me to write out the action scene she gave me. If you really want me to update FL like so totally freaking bad or something, you can write an action scene for me lol to contact me, view my profile.
