Chapter 5

Sparkle

"Mommy! Hurry up! We're going to be late!"

"In a minute, Sasu-Chan, go put on your shoes first!"

It was the first day of 1st Grade.

Sasuke Uchiha was, as you can tell, nervous about being late for his first day at a "grown up school" as he would call it. His brother was always teasing him about still being a kid, (which he actually still is) and always being in a "baby school".

Of course, there was no harm behind those words, but Sasuke had always idolized his older brother and yearned to be like him one day.

His older brother on the other hand, loved to tease little Sasuke. Itachi actually really, really adored his younger brother to the point that he would break the neck of the person who hurt his little brother.

Yet, he chose to act indifferent to everything, but if anything, Sasuke has the first priority in his heart.

"Hn... So noisy. You guys woke me up..." a Itachi that just woke up said, rubbing his tired eyes. In truth, he had set the alarm to wake him up just before Sasuke left, as it was his dear brother's first day of "grown up school".

"Need some help with that Sasuke?" Itachi asked, noticing the discomfort of his brother tying his shoe-laces.

He walked over and bend down, tying Sasuke's shoe-laces into neat bows and smirked as he noticed Sasuke watching in awe.

"Thank you Nii-San!"

Itachi smirked again, ruffled the younger boy's dark raven hair, and said , "Do well in school kid, and show them what Sasuke Uchiha can do."

Sasuke nodded earnestly and replied, " I will Onii-San!"

At school, Sasuke looked around in amazement. It was so big! And then something else caught his eye. Pink. ...was that pink hair? He was stunned. How could anyone have pink hair? And she was a girl, icky!

Her name was Sakura. Sakura Haruno.

How was he supposed to know that she was the one he'll fall in love with?

They became best friends in Sixth Grade.

She was an optimist. She's the kind that will see the glass full, even if it was empty. Her emerald eyes sparkled, whenever she laughed. She always had a smile on her beautiful features whenever he saw her. It was one of the things that made her so attractive.

But she wasn't perfect either. She was a careless girl, tripping every once and then. She was vulnerable. But nonetheless, he fell for her. Too bad she didn't.

She went out with Kiba Inuzuka at the age of 19. She still smiled- a fake smile. Her eyes never sparkled when she was with him. The mutt. They went out for quite a few months. But Sakura, in his opinion, was never happy when they were dating.

"Sasuke..? Are you alright? You're being unusually quiet." her voice unnaturally soft.

He sent her a look that said; Since when was I loud?

She giggled. "I know but you haven't said a single word to me this entire day!"

Then she frowned. "Is something wrong?" She pressed her hand over his forehead, checking his temperature.

He didn't flinch. Although he wasn't used to being touched, he liked it when she touched him. It made him happy just by feeling the small, delicate hand's warmth on his skin.

Smiling just a little, he reminded her of their childhood days.

"You know, when I first saw you in First Grade, I was kind of scared of you." he chuckled a little, relieving those memories.

"Why?" She demanded to know. What could she have done in First Grade that made the Sasuke Uchiha scared of her?

"Because... In my mind, you were a girl and if was...well, icky. Hn. And you were girly as well. Very girly." He held back a small laugh.

She laughed at his response. Her emerald orbs sparkled. It was a beautiful thing.

Then out of a sudden, he said, "... Why are you still dating him?"

Taken aback by his question, she composed herself before replying. "If you mean Kiba, its because I like him."

She knew for some reason Sasuke hated her boyfriend. But she didn't know what.

She decided to ask. "Sasuke, why do you hate Kiba so much?" there was never a good time to ask but she might finally get his reason why now!

"... Because he took you away from me." With that, he took his leave.

Because he never made you smile. Because of him, your eyes never sparkled. He silently thought.

"... W-What...?"

It was raining. The heavy rain reflected on Sakura's emotion.

"Hey Saku, sorry I'm late." Kiba said as he kissed the pinkette's cheek. "What did you call me out for?"

"... I-I want to to break up with you."

"...What? Why? Aren't you happy with me? With us?"

"I am but... It's not going to work out between us..."

"...It's because of Uchiha isn't it?" He started to shake her, getting more violent by each second.

"I-I d-don't know!" Tears came out of her eyes. "I really don't know..." She sobbed, tears were coming out faster and faster.

"... Forget it. I hope you're happy with him." he spat out, as he walked away. But before that, he punched a wall, and blood appeared on his fist.

She went out of the coffee shop, and continued to cry as the pouring rain fell upon her broken state.

A few days later, she called Sasuke Uchiha out to meet her, yet again demanding him to explain what he had said to her the last time.

But before that, " I've broke up with Kiba."

He smirked inwardly but put on an emotionless face. "Why did you tell me that? It has nothing to do with me." Yeah right.

"It does! It has everything to do with you! Well... Everything to do with what you said..." She insisted.

Instead of answering her question, he said, " I see you're recovering from your heartbreak quite quickly."

"... To tell the truth, I'm not really heartbroken over the fact that Kiba and I broke up, it's more of the fact that all the time, energy and our long time friendship is all... gone. Wasted. Finished. That's what I'm really upset about."

"Even if we're back to friends again, it will still be... different. And even if we get back together," He gritted his teeth, as she continued, "It still won't work out. Because... I like someone else."

...

Wait what?

He almost choked on his own saliva. "Y-You like someone else?"

"Yeah... But first things first! Explain what you said."

"... It doesn't matter anymore."

"Yes, it does! Because the one I love is you, idiot!" she smashed her lips against his and all he could do was just stand there until he came back to reality and kissed her back.

They officially started dating after that. They were into their ninth month when he asked the question.

It was a full moon that night and he asked her out to a rather sacred and quiet place.

It was a place he had found when he was younger. He got lost in a school camp trip and ended up finding this place.

It was a beautiful, enchanted place.

The wind was down to one temperature. It was rather chilly but it was perfect.

He was covering her eyes ever since she arrived.

When he finally let her open them, she was blown away by what she saw.

Hanging on several tree branches were a few long strings, each attached with a small lightbulb at the end, in different colours. Baby pink. Forest green. Sea blue. Faded yellow. There were others. Too many to list.

But hooked on to the long strings were pictures. Of them. There were a few on each string. It was simply beautiful. The dim lights brought colour to the forest, lighting up the surrounding and hence the pictures.

She was too stunned for words. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her waist.

Just in the middle of the area, a few steps away from them lay a scrapbook, with more of their pictures and a heading on each.

All were handwritten and made by Sasuke himself.

It was... Enchanting.

Whispering into her ear, he asked, "Do you like it?"

She didn't reply. Tears were already forming in her eyes.

Alarmed, Sasuke widened his eyes. She was not supposed to cry. "Sakura... Are you all right? Did I do something wrong..?"

"No... This is... There are no words to describe this! It so beautiful... Thank you Sasuke. Thank you." She said in-between her falling tears, as she held the scrapbook close to her.

He smiled. "This isn't the end yet."

He got down to one knee, and said in a soft voice, "Will you marry me?"

Sasuke's P.O.V

Two months later, I saw her in a beautiful white wedding gown, her eyes sparkling as she walked down the aisle toward me.

There were three empty places before I gave the scrapbook to my Sakura.

One was for the reaction Sakura should have when I showed her the clearing. The taken picture was her in tears. Underneath it, I wrote; Not all tears are unhappy ones.

And the second one was for our wedding picture. It was the most beautiful picture ever. Her eyes were sparkling and she had the happiest smile I've ever seen on a human being.

I wrote; That smile and sparkle in your eyes put everyone's to shame.

And the last spot? It will be taken after our daughter is born. Only then, will the family be completed.

A/N: Hope all of you enjoyed that! About the ending… Its up to you if you want to think if Sakura's pregnant before or after the weding :). I'm so proud of myself because this is the longest chapter I have ever written and because I typed this entire thing on my iPhone. Of course, uploading was done on the computer but many thanks to the previous reviewers! I'm hoping to reach 60 to 70 reviews by the time I hit Chapter 10. Oh and thanks to Hazel again for beta-ing!
