At the moment, she, Sakura Haruno, medical kunoichi extraordinaire, was the happiest girl alive. And she couldn't wait to flaunt it in Ino Yamanaka's face.

With an excited giggle - one befitting that of a Genin rather than a Jounin, even a newly appointed Jounin - she set off down the street, happily basking in all the whispers around her. With a man like her's, she couldn't help but swell with pride at each not-so-subtle glance to the ring on her hand and jealous death glare to her back.

For the past several years, Sakura had trained hard. She had fought her way through many enemy shinobi and up the ranks. She took down all those who would endanger her beloved Konohagakure, before finally - with the help of the newly formed Team Seven - dragging her wayward ex-teammate's sorry, beaten ass home. She had then devoted her time, energy, chakra and, more often than not, life to healing shinobi and civilians alike.

She did it all, without one word or moan of complaint, for everyone else. She would of continued to, too, if not for those three little words from the one she had hoped, but least expected.

"I love you."

At first, she thought it to be a joke, some sort of playful - yet mean - prank. Somehow he must of found out about her silly, year - nearly decade - long, childhood crush and was teasing her. He had to be, there was no other explanation. With that thought firmly in mind, she called him on it.

One slightly dented wall, as well as two pairs of swollen lips later, and she knew it was for real.

Their relationship had progressed rather quickly, even for shinobi - which was what lead Tsunade-shishou to threaten her poor lover with the removal of various body parts and lack of function of others -, thus, four months later, she found herself a soon to be bride and the happiest kunoichi in the world. Nothing in the world could ever make her happier.

Well, maybe one thing...

"Hey, forehead!", an annoying, yet familiar, voice called out.

There it was! Turning around, Sakura came face to face with her blonde friend/rival, Ino Yamanaka.

"Ino-pig."

"There's a rumour going on, one about you and that so called 'boyfriend' of your--"

"Fiancè.",Sakura automatically corrected, flashing her new ring for all around to see. She soon found herself beaming at the various expressions morphing about on the other kunoichi's face. It was now officially the Best Day Ever.
