She suddenly realized, "Then you know who my promised guy is right?" He nodded, "Yes, I do."
How was it that he knew the whole time who her promised guy was and didn't say a word about it? Hiro said, "Let me explain.. back when you lived here Naruto, you, and me were friends.." She said, "How can I not remember?"
Hiro said, "The death of your mother really affected you.." She asked, "Was I friends with Itachi or sasuke?" Hiro smiled and said, "Yes, you were. Here's the story you told me about how you guys met.. How could I forget you only told it to me everyday since I met you.."
Her emerald eyes widened, "I did?" He nodded, "You liked him a lot even when we were younger." Flashblack- A young girl was crying her eyes out since the kids at school made fun of her wide forehead. Her bright cherry blossom hair that was different from everyone else made her stick out like a sore thumb.. She ran and stood near the cherry blossom tree that resembled the color of her hair.. She thought.. no one likes me cares about me.. i'm a freak with green eyes and pink hair.. "Hey, are you alright?"
A voice spoke up. She looked up to see a young boy with raven hair and onyx eyes.. She stuttered, "N-No, not really." He said, "What's wrong?" She explained, "The kids at school make fun of my pink hair and green eyes and my wide huge forehead.." He just smirked and said, "Those kids are stupid..
They are just simply jealous of your indescribable beauty.. Your pink hair that resembles the cherry blossoms that are the most beautiful thing in the world.. Your emerald eyes like jewels light up many people's lives.. and for that wide forehead of yours.."
He came closer towards her and whispered, "which is meant to be kissed." As he demonstrated as he kissed her forehead. She turned red and said, "A-Ano, you're not in my class.. what grade are you in?" He mysteriously said, "You'll find out soon enough.." He began walking away and she weakly said, "C-Can you at least tell me your name?" He smiled, "Uchiha..Itachi.."
She wiped her tears away and ran towards him and hugged him she said, "my name is Haruno Sakura." "Did that really happen?" Sakura stood there skeptical. Hiro said, "Yes, it did you told me several times I'd doubt you'd lie."
She asked, "What else happened in my past hiro tell me.." He continued, "Well from that day forward you'd never be anywhere without Itachi..
Flashback- The young girl with pink had her hair up with a pretty ribbon. She was smiling instead of crying. She was waiting for Itachi-kun by the cherry blossom tree. "Hey there cherry blossom." His smooth voice said. She grinned even wider and said, "Itachi-kun, I missed you." She hugged him even if she was very young she believed she loved him with all her heart.
He said, "So, what has been going on in your school lately?" She said, "Well, I've made two new friends Naruto and Hiro. They're very nice to me.. They also make sure people aren't making fun of me and is extremely loyal." Itachi said, "I'm glad you made some new friends.."
They walked towards the sandbox where naruto and hiro were playing in the sand. Sakura said, "Hey guys!" Naruto smiled and said, "Sakura-chan, come play with us!" Hiro said, "Yea, come on!' She said, "Sure." She began to take off her shoes and said, "I-Itachi-kun, do you want to come to?"He said, "I'll just watch over you."
She said, "Okay.." She walked over to Naruto and Hiro and Hiro's mom came over and said, "Hey kids! can you say chesse for me?" They all smiled as Hiro's mom took the picture.. She said, "Perfect." Naruto said, "Now, that's done..I think sasuke will be joining us later.." Sakura questioned, "Sasuke?" Naruto said, "Yep, my best friend/rival.. Sasuke..Uchiha."
She gasped, "Uchiha just like Itachi!?" Hiro said, "They're brothers but, they simply hate each other." The other handsome younger Uchiha came towards the sandbox and said, "Naruto, what you doing over here?" She turned to see a uchiha with messy hair and onyx eyes like his brother. He turned to see a beautiful girl with cherry blossom hair he said, "Hey." She smiled at him and said, "hey.."
That's when Itachi's jealousy got the better of him.. He grabbed Sakura and said, "let's go." sakura said, "B-But Itachi-kun.. why?" He said, "My little brother.. he has that look.. he likes you.. and is going to steal you away from me."
She looked up at Itachi and said, "he can never steal me away from you because..I love you. I know I'm very young and barely know anything in this world but, I know what I feel for you.. I love you.. I want to be with you everyday laughing, smiling, hugging, and even..." Her face was extremely close to his and she whispered, "kissing.."
their lips met in a short kiss as their lips lightly brushed each other. He smiled, "I love you too Sakura Haruno. Nothing can change that."
Sakura was close to crying and said, "I-I loved him even then..so he was my.." Hiro simply nodded. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, "Wow, it's been like this from the beginning huh? I still love him even though he hates me.."
Hiro said, "I'm sure if I talk to him we can fix this." Sakura said, "Hiro, you're so kind to me!" She hugged him and asked, "Could I just stay here for this one night because I can't face him right now." Hiro grinned and said, "Sure, anything for you."
BACK WITH ITACHI UCHIHA
Itachi drove home by himself missing his girlfriend with each passing minute... How could he ever thought that she would do such a thing with Hiro.. His eyes lowered slightly and muttered, "I'm such an idiot."
He drove faster and finally reached home.. He sat in his room thinking about what happened earlier today.. flashback- She pleaded, "Itachi-kun, please stop." He finally gave in and said, "What do you want?" She almost began to cry, "Why are you being so mean to me? So distant? Just this morning you were kissing me." He said, "That's because of this." he handed her the paper and she read..
Hiro and Sakura going out behind Itachi's back.. Sakura is playing with two little hearts our heartthrob and Hiro in her ap history class. There is showed a picture of Hiro and her dancing that night they went to the club and another of them kissing although that never happened..
Itachi said, "I can't believe this! How could you? After everything!"She begged, "You don't understand Itachi!Please let me explain! this never happened!" He completely ignored her and said, "I don't need an explanation from my ex-girlfriend." He stalked off leaving a sobbing confused sakura.
He felt horrible what poessed him to say those cruel words to her. He slowly walked to her room to apologize. He thought hurry just say sorry dammit you're dying inside.. Itachi knocked on her door and said, "Sakura! Sakura, I know you don't want to talk to me right now but, I wanted to say sorry about earlier.. Maybe we can talk it out now.. I was just too upset at the time.. Jealousy simply took over me ignoring everything I'm sorry.."
He turned the doorknob to find the room empty with two separate envelopes one read Itachi the other Sasuke. He took the envelope labeled Itachi and read, "Dear Itachi, I can't believe you how could you ever believe I would want to cheat on you! I love you so much and even though you've hurt me I still do..
These feelings for you won't go away.. I'm staying at Hiro's for a couple of nights it would just be too awkward for me to stay at your house. I hope you understand.. Just to tell you something I'm pretty sure the same person who put me in the paper a month ago is the same culprit this time.. Think about it who would that be? I cry here since I still love you but, yet I'm completely depressed and sad.. I love you Itachi and that'll never change no matter how hard I try. Love, Sakura
He folded the letter and couldn't believe what he read.. The same culprit.. Yamanaka Ino.. and who was hanging out with her these days? His little brother.. but, why would he betray Sakura like that? Well then again sakura knew his brother's feelings for her and told him she didn't like him that way..
Most likely he got furious so he helped Ino to break them up.. So that he could steal sakura from under his nose and Ino probably wanted him.. Those people they're going to die they're messing with people's feelings here! He quickly changed and quickly drove to Hiro's house.
At hiro's House
Sakura said, "Hiro, we were really best friends huh?" Hiro nodded, "yea, we were until you moved to America." Sakura looked at Hiro sadly, "H-Hiro, I'm so sorry.. I left." Hiro looked at her, "It's not your fault, Sakura."
The doorbell rang. Sakura ran and said, "I'll get it!" She approached the door and opened to see Itachi. She was motionless he said, "Sakura, we need to talk." She looked at him and simply fainted. Itachi said, "Sakura!!"
He picked her up and Hiro said, "Itachi." Itachi looked at Hiro and said, "Hiro." They stared for what it felt like forever and itachi finally said, "Can you help me carry her?"
Hiro cracked a grin, "Sure, what did you do this time?" Itachi said, "I just came to talk with her and she fainted."
BACK AT THE UCHIHA MANSION
Sasuke was walking home and smirked Sakura was miserable without his brother but, he'd fix it and they would be together again.
He opened the front door and said, "Hello! Anyone home?" He walked up the stairs and opened Sakura's room door to find no one.. An envelope that read Sasuke he picked it up and read
Dear Sasuke, I cry as I write this because I can't believe that this is happening.. everything was so much easier when you were a friend I could lean on and i had no enemies. But, I know for sure what happened today with the newspaper wasn't by accident..
I know one thing for sure it was the same person who did it before. Ino Yamanaka and you have been hanging around her a lot lately haven't you.. I really hope you weren't involved with all of this because I'm really sad I miss your brother. I'm at Hiro's house for a couple days since I can't face either of you. Sakura
He closed the letter so, she had found out ehh. This wasn't part of the plan oh great how was he going to explain this to her without her hating him possibly forever.. "Sasuke, Itachi! Is anyone home!?"
His mother called out. "Yea, I'm here." He answered. Mitoki asked, "Where's Sakura?" He glumly said, "At Hiro's for the next couple of nights." She looked at his expression and bent down, "Are you okay sasuke?" He looked at his mother and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." He got up and walked straight to his room.
She heard voices.. "So, you guys never hooked up?" "No, we're just friends! We went out and she was depressed because she thought that you liked someone else so i tried to get her mind off it and we danced.
She grew happy again until we met Ino and Sasuke there that very night." Her eyes slowly began to open and her eyelashes fluttered opened completely to see Itachi and Hiro talking. Itachi looked upset and said, "It's all that damn bitch's fault and I'm about 100 my brother was involved."
Hiro said, "You can still fix everything Itachi just say how you feel." Itachi calmed down and he said, "If I could tell her everything perfectly I'd say, I love her more than anything in this world.. Jealousy often overcomes me and I don't mean it to but, I want you for myself.. I want to make you so happy and I don't want to see you cry ever again because I love you Sakura."
Hiro smiled and sakura who already had been up this whole time began to cry. "I-Itachi, is that true?" She managed to choke out. Itachi turned to her and said, "Are you okay Sakura-chan? You fell on the floor.." Sakura cracked a grin, "I'm fine, but what you said was it true?"
Itachi held her in his arms and said, "Of course it is. Why do you think I'd be here? I think about you constantly." She said, "i love you itachi-kun." He kissed her deeply and said, "I love you too, I'm sorry I got jealous again." She said, "That's alright." Itachi complimented, "You have a great friend here sakura. Hiro is very loyal as your friend and gave me interesting information."
"Hiro, did you really?" She peered over at him. Hiro said, "Yes, Uchiha Sasuke is completely involved the newspaper front page." Sakura's mouth widened and said, "But, I just thought I didn't think he'd really do it!? i mean this is sasuke we're talking about it.."
Itachi said, "Calm down sakura, we've talked to Naruto and he told us that a week or two ago he asked him if naruto liked you and obviously he does but, sasuke asked him if he would ever try to break you and I up. He said of course no because that wouldn't be fair to you since he wants you to be happy that is all that matters and sasuke thought he was stupid saying if he loved you he'd steal you away from me."
Sakura gasped, "Naruto is such a good friend to me!" Itachi said, "How about we go back to the mansion my mom is probably worried sick about you." Sakura's eyes fell to the floor and she said, "I can't believe it.. Sasuke the one who was so kind to me before.. tried to ruin my relationship with you.. why would he do such a thing?" Itachi walked over towards her and put a finger to her lips, "Sakura, it's not your fault.. He did this because he was jealous of us you knew of his feelings didn't you?"
She nodded. He continued, "He wanted you all to himself like I want you.. so he tried to break us up so he'd have a chance with you." Sakura whispered, "That's so cruel.." He held her tighter, "I know.." She muttered, "I have one request Itachi-kun.." He said, "What is that my darling?"
She begged, "Can we stay here for just tonight I can't deal with Sasuke.." Hiro said, "Umm., Sakura.. you'll have to deal with him in school anyways you have lunch with him remember?" Itachi said, "Be quiet Hiro, yea you can stay here but, you're going back tomorrow." She nodded. Nighttime fell and Hiro slept in his room and Sakura and Itachi slept in separate guestrooms. Sakura had a hard time getting to sleep.. She wandered the house and drank some water and saw Hiro out on the porch.
She said, "hey, hiro. I forgot to thank you for letting me stay." He said, "No problem, anything for a friend." She smiled and said, "Thanks to you everything is nearly fixed Hiro. You're a really great friend.." Hiro looked at her and said, "Yea, a great friend.." She gazed at him and said, "Hiro, something wrong?" He was just a couple of centimeters away and moved a strand of her hair out of the way and kissed her lips briefly and quickly muttered, "I'm sorry."
He was beginning to walk away when Sakura caught him she said, "it's okay, I understand..Ever since you were little always helping me and even when I came back you found me without saying a word..Always there for me it's only natural for you to feel this way but,..I don't feel that way about you." She choked out as tears fell from her face. She continued, "I'm glad you didn't become like sasuke and try to break us up but, helped fix our relationship.. Hiro, you have no idea what you did for me is worth."
Hiro turned his back at her and said, "I know, the minute you guys met i knew you guys would be together.. He met you before I did.. I saw you across the playground and was going to ask you to play with naruto and I but, was too nervous and scared back then.. Itachi found you made you more confident and the girl you are today.."
Sakura said, "I-I'm sorry Hiro.." He said, "this isn't your fault Sakura, don't blame yourself for things that aren't your fault at all." He left her with that thought as she looked at sky and saw a shooting star she silently wished, "Let me remember everything that happened that I forgot..please.." She folded her hands and prayed, "Please.."
Next Morning..
"Wake up Sakura-chan, it's time for school." "I don't want to." "Sakura, come on." She opened her eyes to see Itachi and memories were passing before her very eyes. Itachi said, "We're going to be late for school if we don't hurry up! Hiro is already setting up breakfast." Sakura got up and looked at Itachi, "Itachi-kun, I have to tell you something."
Itachi said, "Later, honey we're going to be late for school!" She changes into her uniform and had a hard time being around hiro especially since she knew now that hiro had loved her since the beginning and didn't do anything about it.
They arrived at the high school together and Ino and Kari who were at the door sneered at them. Rumors were already started, "Yea, I heard she screwed with Hiro last night and convinced Itachi that they are together." "That lying little slut." "Actually, it was a threesome look they're so happy."
Sakura rolled her eyes these rumors would never cease would they. Itachi and her went to AP History class and Kari who was on the other side of the room trying to seduce Itachi. Obviously, it didn't work since Itachi kept ignoring her and spoke with her. Everything seemed so perfect for that one moment but, she missed talking to Hiro.
Hiro who sat behind her wasn't talking to her. His words replayed in her mind.. "I knew, the minute you guys met I knew you guys would be together..He met you before i did.. he beat me to it.. I saw you across the playground and was going to ask you.." She poured through her memories and remembered that day..
Flashback- A young girl who was all alone because of her unique physical features.. her wide forehead, green eyes, and quite noticeable pink hair. "Why, won't anyone talk to me? Is it because I'm weird, different or ugly." As tears began to fall from her face. Across the playground she could see a boy with blonde hair and a boy with black hair she wanted a friend someone she could depend on. The boy with black hair was looking at her he was slowly walking towards her but, she immediately thought someone is behind me..
Tears were coming down from her face as she ran and bumped into someone. "Hey, are you alright?" A voice spoke up. She looked up to see a young boy with raven hair and onyx eyes.. She stuttered, "N-No, not really." He said, "What's wrong?" She explained, "The kids at school make fun of my pink hair and green eyes and my wide huge forehead.." He just smirked and said, "Those kids are stupid.. They are just simply jealous of your indescribable beauty.. Your pink hair that resembles the cherry blossoms that are the most beautiful thing in the world..
Your emerald eyes like jewels light up many people's lives.. and for that wide forehead of yours.." He came closer towards her and whispered, "which is meant to be kissed." As he demonstrated as he kissed her forehead. She turned red and said, "A-Ano, you're not in my class.. what grade are you in?" He mysteriously said, "You'll find out soon enough.." He began walking away and she weakly said, "C-Can you at least tell me your name?" He smiled, "Uchiha..Itachi.." She wiped her tears away and ran towards him and hugged him she said, "my name is Haruno Sakura."
She smiled Itachi had saved her from being alone but, now her best friend Hiro she called out for him and said, "H-Hiro!" He turned around and said, "Yes, Sakura?" She said, "I know this might be asking for much but, can we be best friends like before nothing more or less." He looked at her and said, "Sure, Sakura." Sakura whispered, "I'm sorry Hiro, but you know I.." Hiro cut her off and said, "I know, you love itachi I'm won't get in the way but, that won't change the way I feel for you sakura-chan." She looked at him and said, "H-Hiro.." Hiro just smiled and said, "Don't worry about it Sakura-chan, I don't want you to be unhappy. Let's go Naruto should be waiting for us for lunch."
She grinned and said, "Yea, we should." As they walked out of the classroom she waved bye to itachi. "S-Sakura-chan!" A voice called out. She turned to see a blushing Naruto. She said, "Come here Naruto!" She hugged him and said, "You are such a good friend to me.. just like back then." Naruto said, "A-Ano, Sakura-chan you remember now?" She nodded, "thanks to hiro and I know who my promised guy is now." Naruto said, "Really?" She smiled, "He was with me all along and still is Itachi Uchiha." Naruto looked a bit shocked and said, "Ooh, so did you ask him?"
Sakura said, "Well, he doesn't remember I don't blame him it was years ago and even I forgot so I can forgive him." Naruto said, "You go along Sakura-chan, I have to talk to Hiro for a while privately." Sakura just smiled and said, "See ya later!" She dashed to the cafeteria. Naruto said, "So, you told her all her memories of the past."
Hiro nodded, "I told her everything." Naruto said, "So, she knows about your feelings doesn't she? She seemed a bit different with you today." Hiro goy upset and said, "Yea, my damn feelings got in the way and things are a bit strange between us." Naruto said, "It's okay, Hiro." A girl with long blue hair and silver eyes passed by and turned red and said, "N-Naruto-kun.."
Naruto turned around and whispered, "Hiro, who's that?" Hiro said, "That's Neji's cousin Hinata hyuuga did you already forget?!" Naruto grinned nervously and said, "Right, Hinata what's wrong?" Hinata said, "I-It's Sakura, she just had a run in with Ino, Kari and Uchiha Sasuke."
Naruto looked at Hiro and said, "We better go now." Hinata trailed behind them screamed, "Wait for me I want to help Sakura too!"
