What did it matter? I was happy and that was all that mattered. I sighed a dreamy sigh and turned around to Sasuke's face appear right in front of mine.

"AH!" I yelped and jumped. Sasuke laughed. I slapped him lightly on the arm. I then put a hand over my chest. "What are you trying to do? Kill me!?" I exclaimed and looked behind him. Then back at him. "How did you even get in here?" I asked suspiciously.

He rolled his eyes and went to go sit in the corner of my bed. He then looked at me and smirked. "I have my ways…" he said coyly. I couldn't help but blush.

Here was the guy I had a crush on all my life. Back when we were thirteen, he barely acknowledged my existence. But now, here he is, smiling at me. Being in my room and sitting on my bed. Being my boyfriend, that I love and care about and who feels the same about me.

"SASUKE!" I yelled as I ran up to Sasuke.

It was getting dark and I was heading back home after practice with Kakashi-sensei and Naruto. "Where were you at practice today?"

Sasuke looked at me and frowned. "Why?"

"I'm just wondering…."

Sasuke sighed and started to walk away.

"Go away Sakura….your so annoying. I can't stand it…" Sasuke said in a cold voice.

I stood there as he walked away and tears started to well up in my eyes.

I always thought my chances with him were so slim. Somewhere, I knew he hates me…but I knew that he had to have feelings for me sometime.

But so much has changed over the years….and it's shocked me and made me happy all at once…just last week, you would never suspect that he was so cold to me back then…

"Thanks Ino for helping me out," I said and smiled as me and Ino walked out of Konoha Hospital.

"You got any plans with Sasuke today?" Ino asked. I thought for a second.

"Uh…no so far. He's been pretty busy. He said he's been trying to join the ANBU," I replied.

"OH! The ANBU…looks, brains and muscle. He must be treating you well, hm?" Ino teased. My eyes grew wide and my face started to turn red.

"Wha!? INO!" I exclaimed. Ino burst out laughing.

"I was kidding….but really, its like he has the whole package!" she sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Really…I wish Shikamaru was like that….all he's good at is sitting on his ass being the lazy bum he is…"

I giggled. We heard rapid footsteps behind us and turned around. Naruto was behind us, with the same goofy grin he had on his face.

"SAKURA! INO!!! LET'S GO GET—"

"No…" we replied in unison.

When Naruto reached us he frowned. "But I didn't even suggest anything yet…"

"We don't want ramen Naruto so don't waste your time! Go with Hinata or something!" I yelled. Naruto's face started to get a little red.

"Like she has the time!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Oh I think she would!" Ino said and grinned.

"Better re-think that. Who would go out with the likes of Naruto?" someone said from behind. I turned and Sasuke was behind us. He slid an arm around my waist.

"Ino…" he greeted.

"Hey Sasuke! Now don't you think Naruto should go ask Hinata out?" Ino asked.

Sasuke looked at Naruto. "Why? The idiot, would just get rejected…"

Ding Ding. The battle had begun. Naruto frowned and formed his hands into fists.

"

"LET'S GO! RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW BAKA!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke removed his arm around my waist and stepped forward.

"You said it first…dobe…" Sasuke spat.

Naruto frowned and charged as Sasuke stood his ground. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"OI! NO FIGHTING IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL NARUTO!" Tsunade screamed from the doorway. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks.

"What!? Me! I wasn't the only one who—"

"No excuses Naruto!"

"WHAT!? What do you mean no excuses!!..." his ranting went off. And Sasuke sighed as he ran a hand through his spiky ebony hair.

"Mind if I steal her away from you?" he asked and turned to Ino. Ino who was busy trying hard not to laugh looked at him and then to me.

"No! By all means, go ahead!" Ino said. With that, Sasuke took my hand and we started heading down the road. I waved to Ino one last time before turning back around.

"Blame Naruto for always starting things…" I mentioned.

"Ha…he's never going to stop is he?" Sasuke said and looked at me. I giggled.

"Probably…that is if he becomes the Hokage."

"Naruto? Hokage? Ha! I don't want an idiot ruling this village. And besides what are the chances of him becoming Hokage…"

I laughed and stepped in front of him.

"Well, I thought the same when you left. And you came back right?" I said and smiled.

Sasuke grinned. "Well there's that…"

"Exactly," I said and turned around to continue walking but he caught my hand. I looked back. There was a smirk on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"Sakura… you're just asking for it huh?"

"Wow…you're as cluless as ever…."

"Sakura?"

I snapped out of the flashback to see Sasuke looking at me.

"What?" I asked mindlessly.

"Do you want to go out or what?" he asked.

"Oh yeah! Lemme just get my stuff," I said and went to my closet. I was about to change my shirt when I forgot who was in my room. I turned around.

"Do you mind?" I asked.

He smirked. "Mind what?" I turned around. Not again….

"Sasuke! Do you want to go or what?"

He chuckled. "Yes, I do. Do I mind you changing in front of me? No."

Yes, things have definitely changed.

"Is it me, or are you getting your sick perverted tricks from Naruto? " I asked. Sasuke's eyes grew wide with disgust.

"You're comparing me to that baka?" he asked, his faced scrunched.

"Yes! Now, will you please? I really have to change!" I exclaimed. He sighed, got up, and walked over to me. He then gently held my chin and brought my face close to his so his breath gently brushing on my face.

"You are so annoying…" he whispered. He then leaned in and kissed me lightly. We slowly pulled apart and he smiled.

"If you're so pushy, I'll go wait downstairs…" he said and left the room.

I was still in a daze and I probably stood there for like a minute until I remembered I had to change. So I quickly grabbed the best looking pink top and switched it from my PJ shirt. I then slipped on a green skirt and put on some sandals. I was about to head for the door when I saw my hair in the mirror. I cursed and quickly brushed my long pink hair. After putting on some finishing touches, I ran downstairs.

But like the klutz I am, I tripped near the last set of stairs. I braced myself for the embarrassment and pain I was going to face. I suddenly felt strong arms around me.

"Can you not try to get hurt?" Sasuke said and helped me up. I blushed.

"I'll try," I said and smiled as I walked out the door with Sasuke behind me.

The day went by typically as any other date we've been. It would be us going to some restaurant and we'd talk. Coincidentally, Naruto would "bump" into us. And there would be a, "a fight between words", as I call it. It would be, "Say that again baka!" and "You're and idiot" or something else meaningless between the two. I just stood there laughing, seeing as that it would end with Naruto holding back on hurting Sasuke and Sasuke just walking off with me acting as if nothing happened.

After out little bump in with Naruto, Sasuke brought me to the bridge that overlooked the river and also led into row of cherry blossom trees.

"Strange…" I said out loud. Sasuke turned to me.

"Strange?"

"You only bring me here on special occasions or if you did something really bad." I thought for a bit. "Or if you're asking me for something important."

Sasuke leaned on the railing and just looked at me with the charming look he always did.

"Well one of them is right," he said and smiled.

"Should I guess?" I said perkily. He chuckled.

"Sure…"

I thought for a moment. It wasn't his birthday. It wasn't our anniversary….

"Oh! You got into ANBU!" I said. He sighed.

"No…and from where you're starting it's far from that."

I pouted. "Well, then….tell me what it is, since its so far away from where you want to get at."

He looked away from me and at the cherry blossom trees. He then sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Sakura…"

"Hm?"

"Answer something for me…"

"Sure…"

He then motioned me to come near him and I did. Soon I found his arms around my waist and my hands on his chest. He then looked directly into my eyes.

"Do you love me?"

I felt the heat rise to my cheeks and my heart beat faster.

"Y-yes….Sasuke, of course I do! What makes you ask that?" I stuttered. He kissed my briefly and took my face into his hands.

"Then do something for me…" he whispered.

"What..?"

And out of no where I see a small black box in his other hand. My eyes grew wide.

No way…this has go to be a dream….it can't be….

I looked at him and he smiled as he opened the box. And there was the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen.

"Marry me."

I didn't know what to say, but one thing was for sure. I started crying. I started crying my eyes out and I nodded in between sobs. And what happened next was something I always dreamt of. Sasuke Uchiha was slipping an engagement ring on my finger. I tried hard to fight back even more tears and I pulled my hand away to gaze at the ring.

I turned to Sasuke and he too was smiling.

"I love you," I said in between sobs. He chuckled.

"And you don't think I love you?" he replied.

I smiled and then wrapped my arms around him as we kissed.
