AT THE HARUNO HOUSESakura was lying on her bed reading a book, when she heard a loud crash that sounded like glass shattering. She set her book aside and made her way to her bedroom door. Slowly she pulled the wood door open and stepped out.
Sakura glanced up and down the empty hallway, and was about to walk back into the room when she heard another loud bang, this one sounded more like something hit a wall.
Her head spun in the direction of the noise, which also happened to be the direction of her parent's bedroom. Sakura took cautious steps towards her parents' room.
She got within three feet of the door, and she could hear the yelling. Sakura sucked in a breath and leaned closer.
"She is very capable of making her own decisions!" Her mothers' voice was heard.
"You may think she is capable, but she's not! She could make mistakes!" Sakura rolled her eyes when she heard her father.
"Life is about making mistakes! What is so wrong about that, how will she ever learn if you don't give her a chance?"
"Look what happened to Sakura when you gave her the option to make her own damn choices! I will not let that happen to Ami." Sakura almost screamed when she heard her
Fathers' reply.
"Do NOT bring Sakura into this! She chose her life and you what, she's fucking happy! Have you ever asked Ami what she wants, what will make her happy? Isn't that what you want, to see her happy?"
"Ami is to young to know what will make her happy. She has a chance to succeed in life, unlike Sakura, who has been a fucking screw-up her whole damn life!" Sakura bit down on her lip to keep the tears from surfacing.
She spun around and ran back to her room, not noticing Ami who was standing on the staircase a few feet away.
Sakura glared at everything in her room, she walked towards her bathroom and began to strip. She turned on the water and stepped in the shower. It was only then that she allowed the tears to fall.
Sakura got out an hour later, and slipped into a pair of black soffie shorts and a red tank top. She made her way to the kitchen in search of an apple.
"Shit." Sakura whispered when she couldn't find an apple. There was something about green apples that made her feel better. It was probably the fact that when she was young her mother would always buy them when she was in a fight with her father.
Sakura sighed and went upstairs to slip on her tennis shoes. She walked outside and down the path to the large gates. Once they were open Sakura started running at full speed, not wanting to look back.
Sakura ran into town and stopped at a grocery store, where she picked up a few apples. She was leaving the store when she bumped into a hard, firm chest. She looked up, about to apologize, but changed her mind when she realized whom it was.
"Blossom." Sasuke stated.
"Jackass." Sakura smirked.
Sasuke smirked back, and took her hand and pulled her back in the store. Sakura watched with amused eyes as Sasuke picked out a few red tomatoes, and played for them. The two walked back outside and headed down the street.
"So, was your father mad at you?" Sasuke asked in a casual voice as he pulled out a tomato.
"He won't even look at me. But that is nothing new." Sakura replied while she too pulled out an apple.
They walked in silence for a while, until Sakura finally looked at her surroundings.
"Where are we going?"
"We're here." Sasuke replied. He smirked at Sakura's confused look. He gently placed his hand on her chin, and turned her head to the side. Sakura's eyes widened.
They was a large cherry blossom tree, in the middle of a field, surrounded by larger trees. It was beautiful.
Sakura smiled as Sasuke pulled Sakura towards the tree. They sat down facing each other.
"So was your father upset, or anything?" Sakura asked as she took a bite of half-eaten apple.
"My father doesn't care what I do." Sasuke said with a dark edge to his voice.
"We have that in common." Sakura smiled. Sasuke sighed and pulled Sakura onto his lap. He leaned against the tree and breathed in her scent. Sakura smiled and relaxed into Sasuke's embrace.
They stayed in that position for an immeasurable amount of time. When suddenly Sakura pulled away and turned around to face Sasuke.
"Tell me something about yourself, and about your family, your child hood." Sakura demanded in an innocent voice.
Sasuke chuckled and once again pulled Sakura back onto his lap, this time Sakura was facing him.
"Only if you tell me everything about yourself." Sasuke said.
Sakura nodded and Sasuke beagn telling his story. He told her about his older brother, who was—and would always be—the favored child. Sasuke talked about his father, and growing up knowing that he would never meet his fathers standards. He told Sakura about his friends and school.
When he was done, he looked at Sakura, his dark eyes telling her it was her turn to talk.
So she did.
Sakura told about her parents' fighting, and about being sent off to boarding school—and how school sucked because it was an all girls school—(Sasuke rolled his eyes at that) Sakura talked about her relationship with Ami, and how it had disinigrated. She even told him what she had heard earlier.
Sasuke stayed silent after she had finished. He stared into her eyes, and slowly leaned forward to place his lips on hers.
Sakura responded right away, by wrapping her arms around him and pulling herself closer.
Sasuke smirked and licked Sakura's lower lip, asking for enterance, which was granted.
They continued to kiss until the need for oxygen became known. Sakura pulled away first and tucked her head in the crook of Sasukes' neck. He rested his head on hers'.
"Sakura?" Sasuke said after a while, "What would you do if I were to ask you to marry me?"
"W-what?" Sakura pulled back to look into Sasuke's serious eyes.
"I love you." Sasuke stated, he paused to kiss her stunned face, then continued, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Sakura couldn't breath, she couldn't speak, she couldn't even remember what her damn name was.
"Sakura?" She heard Sasuke call her name and she came back to reality. She searched his eyes and found nothing but love, and longing, and a passion of some emotion Sakura could not quite place.
"Sasuke……..you….I…we can't." Sakura manged.
Sakura felt a wave of guilt wash over her when she saw the pain in Sasuke's eyes at her words.
"Why?" Sasuke demanded.
"……Ami." Sakura said as she looked at the ground.
Sasuke didn't reply, he knew she was right. He was still engaged to Ami.
Sakura took Sasuke's silence as a sign to leave. She got up, whispering an 'I'm sorry' and turned, running in her houses direction.
-----------------------------------------------------------
AT THE HARUNO HOUSEHLODSakura up the stairs and stopped at the top, Ami's bedroom door was open and she was crying. Sakura walked towards the room and knocked lightly. Ami looked up and burst into another fit of tears.
Concern taking over Sakura, she ran to her sister and held her tight. Ami cried and cried. A while later her tears stopped, turning into sobs.
"What happened Ami?"
"Daddy set the date." Ami gasped out.
"What?" Sakura was confused.
"I'm getting married to Sasuke in three weeks."
