Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

.

.

"You should break up with him", Ino told her best friend.

...

"... And hello to you too, Ino", Sakura said sarcastically as they entered their favourite coffee shop.

After the pair ordered their drinks, Ino looked at Sakura up and down with a critical eye.

...

"What?!" Sakura snapped out, exasperated. Ino leaned back on the cushy chair.

"You seem more tired", Ino remarked. "I think it's because of him." Their drinks arrived before the pink-haired female could retort. They each murmured their thanks to the waitress.

"He's draining the life out of you, Sakura! I mean, I know he's hot, but you really should think about getting yourself someone who loves you and is actually trying to see you." The blonde finished after taking a dainty sip of her frappucino. Ino wrinkled her nose at Sakura, who was chugging down the creamy hot chocolate.

"Firstly," Sakura held up one finger, "I'm not breaking up with him. Second, I'm tired because of all the crap my sadistic prof., Kakashi-sensei, is whipping out in my Lit. class." Sakura was going to kill Naruto the next time she saw him. Stupid idiot said the class would be an easy break from her other subjects. "Thirdly," Sakura huffed. "Sasuke-kun is just busy."

Ino raised an eyebrow.

"Too busy to see you in the last three months?" She prodded. With a stick. Sakura winced.

"He has to take over his family's company one day", she replied to Ino, starting to get defensive. "We still call each other..."

"And how often do you guys talk on the phone, hmm?" Ino demanded. Sakura didn't speak. "Exactly my point. I get that you two have been dating since senior year, but things change, Sakura. The stick up his ass has gotten deeper."

...

Sakura choked on hot chocolate.

"I'm not breaking up with Sasuke-kun", she managed to wheeze out after a few coughs.

Ino shrugged. "Your choice. Just remember to call me when you need a shoulder to cry on". She flashed a white-toothed smile.

Ino held up one manicured finger. "I'll only say, 'I told you so' once, since I'm so nice."

Sakura suddenly felt like throwing up.

---

Ino and Sakura decided to say goodbye after our coffee detour. Sakura was relieved. Ino's one-sided conversation was starting to sink in. Now that Ino had mentioned it, Sasuke was never the one to initiate the phone calls that went on between them during the last few months. Whenever Sakura did managed to reach Sasuke, he always said he was too busy to talk.

Sakura thought back to when they had finally arranged to go on a date two weeks ago, only to be blown off with a text message.

...

"Stupid Sasuke-kun. Thinks because he's the heir of a multi-million corporation that he can stand me up." Sakura muttered viciously to herself as the memories resurfaced. She changed her phone's background to anything.

Anything but the Uchiha's sleeping face.

She stopped, several people brushed up against her, but she ignored them.

...Maybe, he was cheating on her. Sakura knew the only thing she had going for her was my brain.

They had once gone out on a date, and overheard an elderly couple say that Sasuke was much too handsome for her.

Sasuke, Sasuke wouldn't do that. Cheat on her.

Would he?

"Who am I kidding?" Sakura muttered to herself. He wouldn't want to date a loser for very long..."

Sasuke-kun...

She glanced down to her hands to the keychain of a sparkling pink heart on her cellphone. Sasuke had given it to her when they first started dating. He claimed it was a freebie with the stuff from the supermarket. A bitter smile touched Sakura's lips. It was so obvious it was from one of those girly shops she had often gone into during their dates.

Sakura watched as another glittery pink sequin fell off and drift onto the snow-powdered floor.

Maybe it was time to break it off.

She really hated it when Ino was right.

---

Sakura paced anxiously in the lobby of one of the many office buildings that belonged to the Uchiha family.

Maybe she shouldn't have come here. Oh, but it's too late now, Sakura. Ok, deep breathe. It'll all be over in two minutes, tops.

Then she could go call Ino and eat ice-cream together. Maybe give Ino the normal ice-cream while she ate the low-fat yoghurt so that she would finally weight less than the friend that's taller than her. Yes, that sounds very nice, Sakura. Good id—

"...Sakura?"

Sakura could feel her palms sweating from the nervousness she was feeling. She slowly turned around...

...And aimed her gaze at Sasuke's feet. No doubt looking at his face would leave her breathless.

"Sasuke-kun, I know we've been together for like five years" Sakura began. "...which is why I'm pretty surprised we lasted this long. I mean, we both come from different social circles and the only reason you went to a public high school is because you wanted to get away from your parents. I also chased you like a freaking dog all throughout the four years there, so, it wasn't really fate that brought us together." Sakura tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear. Oh boy. She could feel the tears coming. "It was good for a while and I was always really happy with you, but lately, we haven't been hanging out a lot." Tears were coming out! Get a hold of yourself, Sakura. "It's no wonder you would cheat on me. I mean, I'm me and you're Sasuke-kun, so..."

Screw it. She was looking at his face.

Damned be the consequences.

...

She paused from her speech.

"Are you done?" He was looking annoyed at her. Annoyed! What kind of prick would look annoyed while his (soon-to-be-ex) girlfriend was pouring her heart out?

She felt her anger rearing its ugly head. "Listen, you! I know you're emotionally constipated, but would it hurt a little to try looking a little more sadder?!"

Sasuke just stared at her tear-streaked face.

"UGH!" Sakura snapped. "Fine! I'm shutting up! Goodbye, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura was about to stomp towards the front doors when a hand grabbed onto her wrist.

"...Sakura..." his voiced called out to her.

Don't look, don't look, don't look—

Sakura looked.

...

Uhhh... What?

Sasuke was on his knees.

Sakura was too confused and shocked to be angry as he held out a ring to her.

"...Sakura Haruno..." Sasuke turned his head to the side, his cheeks stained with pink. "Will you marry me?"

Sakura was too flabbergasted to say anything at his earnest proposal. She stood there looking at his face, with a slack-opened jaw.

...

Wait, why was somebody clapping?

The couple turned to the origin of the sound and saw Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, looking at them with an amused expression.

The older Uchiha brother chuckled at the pair's faces. One was scowling at him, and the other was staring at the ring with an expression like a fish.

He walked up to them casually. "Nice job, Sasuke". He patted his little brother on the head. Sasuke slapped his hand away. "You managed to stop seeing your girlfriend for three months. I'm sure father will let you stay with Sakura-san now."

Meanwhile, Sakura was finally able to turn away from the huge rock to gape at her brother-in-law(?)

...

"Wuhh...?" Sakura managed to say.

Sasuke wanted to slap his forehead after hearing Sakura's response.

Itachi smiled at the young woman. "Well, we couldn't have Sasuke marrying a no-name girl without a test, right?" He explained.

Sakura's eyes darted between both brothers.

"Aniki..." Sasuke gritted out. "...You weren't supposed to tell her that."

"Ahh... Sorry about that, Sasuke. Must have slipped my mind", Itachi said. Sasuke clenched his fist. His brother dared to have the audacity to look apologetic.

Uchihas didn't have things slipping their mind.

Bastard.

"So," a voice started. Both brothers turned away from their staring match to the short pink-haired female. "You mean, Sasuke-kun wasn't avoiding me?"

Sasuke looked embarrassed. "Obviously not, moron." he snapped.

"...Then, we aren't on some prank TV show, right?" Sakura asked stupidly. Sasuke scowled, trying to remind himself why he wanted to marry this girl again.

Itachi chuckled. "No, Sakura-san." Sakura's features brightened. "I imagine Sasuke wanted to propose to you when you were alone, but..." Itachi gave them a small smile.

"It seems he really had no choice when you were about to leave him."

Sakura blushed. Sasuke glared at his brother.

"Anyways, I believe this way was a much better way of proposing, right, Sasuke?" Itachi gestured to the small crowd a few feet from them.

Sakura turned a deep shade of red as she eyed the crowd.

"Aniki..." Sasuke seethed out.
