Sakura was lying in her bed staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom. She seemed to be happy to everyone around her, but truly, Sakura was hurting on the inside. She was all alone and had been alone for going on two years now. Her boyfriend, Kiba Inuzuka, had been gone for two years on a solo mission with his dog-nin Akamaru, leaving Sakura all by herself. Everyone knew he was on a mission, but with the way Sakura had acted when he left, they thought the two of them had broken up.
-Flashback-
"Sakura, I have some bad news"
"What is it Kiba?" Sakura said as she walked up to give her boyfriend a hug. Kiba hugged her back and then his head dropped.
"I'm heading out on a mission today, it's a solo mission, and I'll be gone, for over a year, maybe even two." Sakura lifted his chin and smiled at him.
"It's a mission Kiba, you can do it, and you know what?" Kiba looked at her questioningly. "I will be right here when you get back" Sakura kissed him.
"Good, because I just got you, I have no idea what I would do if I lost you already," Kiba said kissing her again. "Unfortunately, I have to leave right now Sakura" Sakura smiled and put her shoes on.
"Then I'll walk with you to the gate." Kiba nodded and the couple walked with Akamaru down to the village gates. On the way, Sakura's emotions were trying to show, but she knew she had to be strong for Kiba; otherwise he was never going to want to leave. She didn't want him to leave, but he had to, it was his duty as a ninja, to his village, and to himself. She held the tears back. There was also something in the back of her mind that KNEW this wasn't a mission that would of normally been given to Kiba. 'I wonder if mom is still trying.'
"I guess this is where we part Sakura." Kiba hugged her. "I love you Sakura."
"I love you too Kiba, and you too Akamaru" Sakura kissed Kiba and then kissed Akamaru's nose. "I will miss you both a lot."
"I will miss you too!" and with that, Kiba and Akamaru hurriedly left the gate. Once they were out of sight, her emotions got the best of her. Sakura hit her knees to the ground and her tears started to fall.
-End Flashback-
Suddenly, Sakura heard a knock at her front door. As she slowly walked out of her room to the door, she wondered who would be knocking on her door.
"Hey Sakura!" TenTen cheered when Sakura finally opened the door. Ino and Hinata were standing there on her doorstep as well.
"Hey girls, what's going on?"
"W-Well, Ino and TenTen t-thought it would b-be a good idea if-if you came with a-all of us to the p-party tonight," Hinata spoke.
"Yeah, tonight is the summer ball and it isn't a party without you there." Ino added.
"I don't know." Sakura looked away from her friends as she remembered the last time she was at the ball. It was two years ago. She was of course, dragged to go again by the three girls who were trying to drag her to go again. Sakura also remembered that this ball was the exact reason and place her and Kiba started dating before he left on his mission. She remembered it like it was yesterday.
Flashback
"Sakura come on, we are already late!" Sakura sighed as Ino dragged her into the ballroom where the ball was being held. She was nervous about being here because she had never been to anything this formal, but this year, the civilian council was hosting it so her mother was making her go. As she walked through the crowd of dancing people she bumped into one person.
"I'm sorry, how clumsy of me." Sakura blushed shyly. As she looked up she saw the face of one Kiba Inuzuka, heir to the Inuzuka clan and a prince in his own right. Ever since she finally moved on from Sasuke, she had somehow caught sight of the dog prince himself and was falling for him.
"It's okay Sakura; I was actually coming over to you to ask you for a dance." Sakura blushed more.
"W-Why of course you can." She smiled as Kiba gracefully brought her to the middle of the dance floor and started dancing with her. As she danced with him her eyes never left his. She was so lost in his eyes that she didn't notice her mother storming through the crowd of dancers.
"SAKURA HARUNO!" Sakura was jolted from her dance as the music stopped and she turned to see her mother.
"Mom?"
"Get away from her you mutt," She then looked at Sakura. "I want you to never speak to him again Sakura. Stay away from him do you understand me?" Sakura was confused.
"What? But mom! He's a comrade!"
"Well then I guess I will be talking with Tsunade, you will not be around him." She then turned back to Kiba. "You are not welcome here Inuzuka. Leave now." Everyone was confused. Kiba nodded.
"If that is what you wish Lady Haruno. Goodbye Sakura." Kiba started to walk out of the ballroom and out the front doors but not before Sakura broke from her mother's grip and raced towards him.
"Kiba!" He stopped and turned. "Please! Please don't go!"
"I'm sorry Sakura, I am for once… listening to what other people ask me to do Sakura. I need to go." Sakura started to ball.
"KIBA!" he was already out of sight.
End Flashback.
"SAKURA!" Sakura was knocked out of her flashback by TenTen.
"Sorry, I really don't know if I should go. The last time my mother caused a huge commotion." Sakura leaned against the wall.
"Come on, it all worked out in the end! You still ended up with your prince charming." Ino added as another flashback came into Sakura's mind.
Flashback
Sakura was at training ground one, which had become a garden for medicinal plants needed at the hospital. She was picking some ingredients that she needed when she heard shuffling in the woods behind her.
"Sakura?" She froze as she recognized the voice and turn to the source.
"Kiba? What are you doing here?" Kiba looked at her and then away.
"I… I just can't stay away Sakura. You are just too important to me to just erase from my life no matter what your mother says." Sakura froze and dropped the flowers she had to give him a hug.
"I've missed you so much Kiba."
End flashback
Every night after that night Sakura and Kiba would always sneak away to see each other in the garden. Tsunade found out but never told a soul due to the fact that she liked the two of them together.
"I really don't want to dress up." Sakura lied. She was dying to dress up and go shopping.
"Come on, I'm even dressing up!" TenTen spoke up.
"Who else is going?" Sakura asked actually thinking giving into the girls. She loved going out and she really needed to get her mind off of Kiba.
"Naruto, Shikamaru, Temari, Neji, Chouji, Lee, and Shino" Hinata spoke.
"Come on, all the usual are going to be there, PLEASE?" Ino pleaded. Sakura looked at her and smiled. Ino was trying to do a puppy face and no one EVER beat Kiba's face. Sakura's smiled turned to a frown for a second while she thought about it.
"Ino, why did you do the face?" TenTen smacked her.
"I forgot, I'm sorry Sakura," Ino felt bad now. Everything dealing with dogs always reminded Sakura about Kiba.
"It's ok, and yes, I will go, what should I wear though?" Sakura said smiling and Ino and TenTen cheered.
"Well, why don't we go out shopping to get you something to wear?" Ino suggested.
"Ok, let me go change, be right out!" Sakura cheered as she closed the door and ran to her room to change into her normal clothes.
"So, are we going to tell her?" TenTen asked once the door was closed. Hinata shook her head.
"He told us not to, but he said we had to get her at least to the party. This year is a masquerade ball so she will never know it's him when he asks." Hinata said. TenTen and Ino nodded.
"Where should we go dress shopping?" Ino changed the subject.
"Let's go to that little shop on the corner." TenTen suggested just as Sakura walked out the door. The girls smiled and walked to the shop.
-9—6—9—
It was now 7 o'clock and Sakura was getting ready to go to the ball. She was happy that she was going out and doing something, but she had a strange feeling that something was going to happen, she didn't know if it was going to be good or bad. After finishing her shower, Sakura dried off and put on her scarlet red party dress that just happened to have a small paw print pattern on the bottom. Sakura bought it because she knew she had to. It just seemed right and the dress looked amazing on her. After putting her shoulder length hair into a messy bun and leaving her face framing bangs down, Sakura put on a necklace and walked to the door, where Ino and TenTen had just arrived.
"Ready to go Sakura?"
"Sure!" Sakura locked her door and the girls walked to the club.
"Oh, I forgot," Ino grabbed something out of her bag and handed it to Sakura. "It's a masquerade ball this year, you will need a mask and this one matches your dress perfectly.
"Okay. Thanks Ino!" As the girls arrived at the party, they saw Naruto, Hinata, and the rest of the gang outside waiting for them.
"Sakura is coming? Finally, it gets you out of the house," Naruto complained. Sakura walked up and gave him a hug, she hadn't really talked to him in a while because she was always in the hospital and he was always training to become Hokage since he was next in line.
"I missed you too Naruto." The group smiled and laughed and then all of them walked inside to the ballroom. There were tables lined on the side for people to sit and eat or drink so the group found a table and sat their stuff down together. After a few minutes of sitting together, the girls (including Temari) all walked out on the dance floor and started dancing. After a few songs, the DJ spoke up.
"Good evening everyone! This next dance I am going to slow it down and I want all the guys to find that special girl and bring her to the dance floor." Sakura walked back and sat at the table while Ino, Temari, Hinata and TenTen all walked to the dance floor with Chouji, Shikamaru, Naruto and Neji. Lee and Shino also had found someone to dance with. As Sakura admired all the couples she thought about Kiba more and more and how much she truly missed him.
"Excuse me." Sakura was snapped out of her thoughts as a man in a black tux and a wolf mask walked up to her. "May I have this dance?" Sakura paused.
"I-I don't know…" She didn't know what to say.
"Please? I know you are taken, and I just want one dance." Sakura gave in and nodded.
"Of course I will dance with you, just one dance though." The man underneath smirked and gracefully led her out to the dance floor. As Sakura and the mystery man danced, Sakura kept having a small feeling of Déjà vu. Like, she had danced with this same man before. As the song neared the end the feeling came stronger and stronger. Finally the song ended, Sakura bowed to the man and walked to the table to grab her stuff.
"Sakura where are you going?" Sakura turned to see her mother walking towards her.
"I-I don't feel good mom, I'm thinking I'm starting to hallucinate."
"What are you talking about dear?" Sakura's friends started walking towards the two. Sakura didn't notice a grin on her mother's face.
"I have a huge case of Déjà vu when I dance with that man…" Tears started to fall.
"Sakura?" Sakura froze for a moment then slowly turned around to the voice who had called her name. It was the mystery man.
"I-I'm sorry that I bailed like that, the dance seemed so… so familiar and it really got to me. It's almost as if you were dancing exactly like my boyfriend." Sakura looked up to see the reaction of the man when she heard a laugh. She was confused for a moment before the man lifted his hand and removed the wolf mask from his face. "Ki-Kiba?" he nodded and she dropped her things from her hands and jumped into his arms. "Oh my gosh Kiba I missed you sooo much! How are you here?"
"I miss you too Sakura, I'm sorry I was gone so long. I didn't want to be gone as long as I was," Kiba said holding the crying girl, no, women, in his arms not wanting to let her go ever again.
"Kiba, you have no idea how much I missed you, the minute you were out of sight of the gates I broke down, worse than I am now, these are just tears of joy that you are finally back home!" Sakura kissed Kiba on the lips, which Kiba seemed to deepen the moment their lips touched. Oh how they missed each other. Suddenly Sakura remembered that her mother was behind her and she broke the kiss and turned to her mom. "Mom I…"
"Don't say another word Sakura…" Her mother said with a smile, "If you love him after all this time, and he still loves you after all that time away, then I can't stop it anymore. It wouldn't be right." Sakura brightened right up and kissed Kiba again.
"Get a room you two!" Ino yelled jokingly at the couple. Sakura and Kiba looked up to their friends and smiled. Sakura stood up and grabbed her things, but Kiba stayed on his knee.
"Sakura, before we go, there is something I want to ask you." Sakura looked at him confused and then looked at her friends. They were all as confused as she was and she didn't dare look back to her mom. "I was so alone the past two years and you were the only person who helped me through. I never want you to be alone again and… your mother and I had a talk already and she gave me her blessing. So what do you say? Marry me Sakura?" Sakura froze and dropped her things again on the floor. Her friends seemed to be in complete shock, no one knew he had it in him. Sakura's mother on the other hand just smiled.
"YES!" Sakura screamed and kissed and hugged Kiba. He put the silver band on her ring, which held two pink stones and one red stone, and kissed her hand.
"I love you Sakura."
"I love you too Kiba, can we go to my house now?"
"Why not stay here and enjoy the party?" Kiba said standing up. Sakura smiled and grabbed her things again.
"You have a lot of catching up to do Kiba," Sakura said seductively. Kiba getting the hint, smiled his canine smile, hugged all his friends, and followed Sakura to her house so they could rekindle their love for each other. Sakura's mother was happy too as she now knew that her daughter was in good hands with her own prince charming.
Kiba was finally home, and Sakura was genuinely happy again. What could ever make this Love Story any better?
