Hey everyone..Well this is the second chapter of explanations... hope you'll enjoy... see ya (//_^)

Sakura is taken out of her thoughts by Ino.

Chapter2

"Hey Forehead," Ino said to her thinking friend.

"Hey Ino. Hi Hinata. You guys have taken so much time. Let's go before the closing down of the shops," said Sakura smiling. But it was a fake smile, behind which she hid all her wounds and suffers.

The three friends made their way to the shopping centre.

Later at Sakura's home

Ahh! I'm so tired. I'll take a shower then go straight to bed, thought Sakura. After taking a long bath, Sakura laid on her bed. She was indeed very tired but could not sleep. Itachi was still in her mind. Some painful memories came to her. She would never forget the day Itachi asked her hand.

---------------------------FLASHBACK------------------------

He knocked at her door, dressed in a handsome black suit with a white shirt and a cute black tie. He was looking quite nervous which is unusual for him.

"Hon, you're here?" asked the elegant Uchiha.

"Ya, I'm having a shower! Take something from the fridge. I'm coming down in a while," said Sakura from her room.

Itachi removed his coat, took a can of Pepsi from the fridge and on the tips of his feet, without making a sound, he went up in his lover's room. With only a towel around, Sakura came out of the bathroom murmuring a song. She was surprised to see Itachi, quietly sitting on her bed. She blushed and so did Itachi. He approached his koibito, gently caressed her cheeks and kissed her passionately. He led his hands to Sakura's waist and held her closer to him. Sakura suddenly stopped him, and teasingly said that they were getting late. After having dinner in an expensive restaurant, Itachi blindfolded Sakura and drove to an unknown place. He took her out of the car, and asked her to remove the eyes.

"Ohh! Itachi! This is where you asked me out for the first time," said a Sakura on a brink of shedding tears.

They were on the bridge of Konoha's river from which the whole village could be seen. It was there that six months earlier, under the shinny moonlight that Itachi asked Sakura to be his girlfriend and shared their first kiss.

"Ya, and I wanted to...," as he talked a thousand of petals of roses fell from the sky and a pretty red rose fell in her hands and a nervous Itachi said,

"Sakura Haruno, will you marry me?," said Itachi.

Sakura suddenly started to cry. It was not the reaction I was expecting, thought Itachi. He worriedly asked her what happened.

"I'm so happy!!! I'm always hoped that when some handsome guy would propose, it would be special. But you did it with so much elegance and romance. Itachi, I would be more than happy to marry you... YES! YES! YES!", she said while Itachi took her in his arms.

Soon the entire Konoha was aware of the good news thanks to Ino's special faculty to keep a secret. Everyone was so happy. Naruto, Neij, Sai and Shikamaru helped Itachi with the arrangements of the marriage and for the ring. When Itachi asked Naruto to be his best man, he almost spilled his ramen. He hugged Itachi and said how much he was honoured. Ino, Hinata, Tenten and Temari were the bridesmaids. Sakura as well as her bridesmaids' dress was especially designed in France. Itachi was longing to see Sakura, not being allowed to see her before the marriage.

A few days before the marriage, Itachi was behaving very strangely. He talked to Naruto on the eve of the marriage. They were drunk so Naruto could not remember the entire conversation but Itachi talked about being trapped. Naruto was secretly suspecting him to doubt about his marriage but he knew how much he loved Sakura and that he would never do anything to hurt her.

Sorry if this one is short too. I'm having exams at school and am currently focused on that. But I got this story stuck in my mind and was not able to concentrate so I wrote it. I know it's kinda boring but still thanks for reading =)
