Sakura sat on the tallest building that she could find in Suna so she could think

Sakura sat on the tallest building that she could find in Suna so she could think. How could Sai, the boy who she had dated, the guy who turned her dull world into a colorful masterpiece leave her so cold and desolate? Tears dropped down her eyes as Sakura tried to pretend what had just happened wasn't real.

"He wouldn't do that, he couldn't do that-"

"But he did"

Sakura's pink head immediately turned to the source of the voice. There stood no one other than Uchiha Sasuke with his infamous smirk plastered on his flawless face.

"I knew that he wasn't the right one for you Sakura-chan" he said as he took a seat next to her. Sakura could feel her breath get caught in her throat, but she pushed it to the side and glared at him,

"What do you want Sasuke?"

The raven haired man eye brow furrowed slightly, "Well whatever happened to Sasuke-kun?" he said making sure that he emphasized his lost title.

"It left when you did Uchiha" Sakura spat. She pushed off the ground and turned to leave but a strong grip around her small wrist pulled her back. Slighly annoyed Sakura began to try to pry his hand off,

"Let go you st-"

"I saw what happened between you and Sai" he said interrupting Sakura. Her hand that was trying to pry his off her wrist fell limp to her side and her eyes gazed over. She sat back down and the Uchiha let go of her wrist. He looked at her head hung low and inwardly smirked. He had her right where he wanted her and if he played his cards right then it wouldn't take long before Sai would become a memory.

"In order to get the one you love back in your arms you make a way that shows her you still care." The dark haired ninja said as he read to himself. He needed some way to get Sakura back and away from the open arms of the dickless bastard. What better way to do it than by reading a book?

"There are three steps in order to get the love of your life back" he mumbled as he paid closer attention to the page.

He wasn't going to give up to someone like Uchiha, Sasuke so easily. He worked too hard finding the right colors to make Sakura's heart beautiful and he wasn't going to let a bastard like him mess it all up.

Step one: Impress her by buying their favorite candy or animal. Nothing says I love you to a women like her favorite animal and sweets.

Sai recalled the instruction that the book gave him as he walked around the market looking for the right thing that would make Sakura notice him.

"Excuse me are you looking for something particular young man?"

He looked into the eyes of a lady standing behind the counter. He scratched the back of his head and gave her a smile. The women just laughed, "You must be new at this allow me to help you." She said as she walked from behind the counter.

"Describe to me what the girl you admire is like" she asked gently. Sai heart fluttered and he smiled nervously,

"Well it's hard to say, she is tough, aggressive if you might add, but she can be very nice when she wants to be, a sweetheart even. She's not fake, in fact she's quite true to herself and people around her. Sak-I mean she is the most forgiving person that I know. "he sighed, "I hope that she will forgive me" he whispered to himself silently. The women smiled as she extended her arm out to Sai. In her hand lay a flower it was a simple daffodil, one that reflected innocence and kindness, just like Sakura.

"It seems like this is what she might like. Not showy but not plain, a true work of art if I might add. If I were you I would go and win back your friend before time is up." The lady whispered in Sai's ear, startling him just a bit. He nodded and hurried out of the store.

"Aw young love" she sighed as she smiled gently and waved goodbye.

Back when she was 13 years old Sakura Haruno would have died, came back to life and died again to have Uchiha, Sasuke sit willingly next to her. She would have flaunted it in every other girls face until they all died from jealously, but now at the ripe old age of 18 she didn't feel all that excited, in fact she felt almost dead. Saskue didn't make the world bright and pretty, unlike a certain artist. It was ironic that when she no longer pined for his attention he was more than willing to give it to her.

"Sakura-chan let me take you out to dinner to make up for everything that I've done to you" Sasuke said smoothly as he took a hold f her wrist and dragged her up.

"No, right now I just want to be alone" she said as she tried to tear her wrist away from him.

"Sakura-chan" a voice called out and Sakura's ears perked up while Sasuke cursed under his breath. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath,

"No really allow me to show my forgiveness for all that I have done to you and Naruto" he said as he brought her closer, her back turned to Sai. Sasuke Uchiha glared at the dark haired man before he and Sakura were gone. Sai clutched the flower tightly in his hands angered that he didn't make it in time.

"You can run Uchiha and you can hide but I won't give up, not just yet." He said walking back to his hotel room thinking of his next plan to get Sakura back.

At the Kazekage Tower

"So Gaara when do you think that we should step in?" Kankuro asked his brother just moments after they witnessed the mini soap opra down below.

"We don't" The read head replied blatantly. Kankuro stared in shock.

"What do you mean we don't? Sakura's our little girl we have to help her" he spoke. Gaara closed his eyes and sighed. Why couldn't his brother understand that it wasn't their decision about who their favorite cherry blossom ended up with? It was hers. The only reason they were there was to provide support and nothing more.

"We aren't going to do anything Kankuro. This is Sakura's choice that she must make and it is Sai's and Uchiha's battle."

"But what if she picks the Uchiha?"

Gaara growled at his brother's stupidity, "I have a feeling that she won't, if Sai has a brain as Naruto tells me then the Uchiha will not even stand a chance." He finished.

"I don't know Gaara. I have a feeling that she will pick that overly snobby brat" said Kankuro

"If that ever is the case then I deal with it personally" he finished as he pulled away from the railing of the towers edge. Kankuro laughed before he looked up to the sky thinking of a certain flower.

'I hope that you make the right choice Haruno'

I hope that this chapter was to your liking. I'll try to get the next one out sooner. Schools not that bad now so I'll be able to work on this more often.
