Bonus Chapter 1

When Sasuke was six, his best friends were Asuna Myuki and Menma Namikaze. The three were together the majority of the time, whether in their classes at the academy or outside of them. Asuna's mother had been close to Mikoto and Kushina when they were younger, and wanted her daughter to be friends with their boys, taking her to play dates from the time she was two on.

Sasuke loved spending time at the academy with Menma and Asuna. They were the only two he would talk to, as he would rather ignore the many girls that decided he would be their husband one day just because he was cute.

Eventually, though, Asuna drifted from them and started to hang out more with the girls in their class. Menma called Asuna a traitor, while Sasuke became enthralled by one of the girls she was always with. The girl had pink hair and green eyes, and he was amazed. He could remember seeing her at a meeting, some time ago, when the Fourth Hokage was speaking to many of the prominent clans about something.

Sasuke couldn't remember much about her, though, except that she had left with the Fourth Hokage and his wife, leading him to believe she was their daughter. Itachi had told him she was a very important little girl, because she was the Hokage's daughter, but he didn't know her name at the time.

"Nii-san, what's her name?"

Itachi looked at Sasuke, before smirking. "Do you have a crush on her, Sasuke?"

"What? Nii-san, that's not funny!"

Sasuke was only four at that point, but he knew enough about crushes and girls, thanks to Shisui. Itachi had to negate a number of things Shisui had told Sasuke, and it took a long while.

Now, Sasuke was beginning to realize that he was crushing Sakura. But he didn't think it would be anything more than this 'puppy love' Itachi had told him about. It was nothing more than just quick heart rate and feeling uneasy around the person, which Sasuke knew was going on with him and Sakura.

"Today, we will be having mock sparring matches!"

Sasuke barely listened as Iruka explained what the plan was for the day. He loved mock sparring matches, but today, he was busy staring at Sakura. She was looking at Iruka, watching him as he spoke and explained the rules.

Sakura-chan looks cute…

"Sasuke Uchiha! Please stop staring at Sakura and get over here!"

Sasuke jumped when Iruka yelled his name, and shyly stood up and walked over beside his favorite sensei while the rest of the class, minus Sakura, laughed at him. Sakura stared at him, nearly glaring.

"All right, and Sasuke's opponent will be… Sakura Haruno."

Sakura got up right away, and went to her spot on the other side of Iruka. Sasuke was shocked, to say the least.

And on the day nii-san comes to see me!

Itachi was watching from the sidelines, a smile on his face as Sasuke and Sakura stepped back, making a big enough gap between them.

Asuna had been told to stay out of the sparring matches that day because of her broken arm, and Iruka did not want her to get a worse injury. She didn't mind, all because she got to sit with Itachi.

"All right, you two. Begin!" Iruka stepped back and watched, hoping Sakura didn't mess up Sasuke too badly.

Sasuke blinked, and before he knew it, he was on his back with his hands on his face. He had almost been knocked out, and felt like he had been. (Sakura would later tell him, with a smirk, that she did knock him out, and everyone was so shocked they were frozen.)

"Sasuke!"

Sakura had moved quickly, going for a quick win by punching the boy in the nose, not caring if she hurt him. he had stared at her for no reason, and she didn't want him to think he could do that.

Sasuke sat up with help from Iruka as Itachi ran over, with Asuna following behind.

"Sasuke, are you all right?!"

He blinked again, nodding a bit. His nose wasn't broken, thankfully, but it was bruising already, and Itachi was wondering how they were going to explain to their parents that Sasuke had gotten beat by a girl.

The Fourth Hokage's daughter, lest we forget.

Sasuke watched Sakura as she went back to her seat, and made his decision.

I'm going to marry her.

END BONUS CHAPTER 1

Author's Note: All right, there's the very first bonus chapter.
Sasuke and Sakura started out on strange terms, but it worked well in the end, huh?

Sorry this is late. It stormed really bad and we had to run from our house because a tornado was kinda moving towards us. We're fine, the house is fine.
I live in Oklahoma, so, you may have heard that yesterday Shawnee got hit and Moore got hit today. Both were awful, but Moore appears to be worse.
They're still looking for people and, last I heard, the fatalities are still climbing. :(

Um, yeah. This is the chapter for today, and any prayers and good thoughts through the storms this summer would be very muchly appreciated.

See you next week all~
