Hey everyone! Here's another chapter for those of you who still read this story. Sorry I took longer to update; it's just because I hardly got any reviews and well, was a bit disappointed…

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but own this rubbish fanfic.

It was another soothing morning in Konoha and today seemed more of a cheerful day as it was not as hot and dry as it was the past week. It was around eight O'clock and the citizens of the town were already filling up the streets and bazaars.

Sakura was still half-asleep on her bed, generally dreaming about the events that had taken place in the past few days and about how it was going to affect the rest of her life and change its direction completely and take it on a whole new, twisted path. She was anxious about how different her life was going to be in a mere matter of few days. She was also excited that she was going to get married which is the biggest thing that can happen in a girl's life. She was overjoyed at the thought that she was finally getting what she had wanted since she was eight years old, that is, getting married to Sasuke Uchiha- the number one most admired and envied guy in Konoha.

She had wanted this and she knew it. Back when she was twelve, everyone knew that she had wanted him for the sole reason that she used to be his top fangirl alongside her best friend Ino Yamanaka. Now when she looks back at that time, she laughs at herself; her naïve little self. But things took a roll when she was placed into his team, along with Naruto of course, when they had graduated to Genin level. This formed team 7 with their sensei as Kakashi. As a team, in the beginning, they didn't even recognize the meaning of 'teamwork' and were called a 'team' just for namesake. That was how chaotic things had started out to be.

But then, starting out with the bell test, they went for numerous missions together- from D and C ranked ones to an A rank one- they evolved. They took their own precious time to get together, but without fail, even those difficult times faced together, proved to be vital at the end of the day. It is because of that day at the academy, when they were placed in their three man squads that they have flowered into what they are today.

This applied very well to the relationship between Sasuke and herself- Sakura. They had started out very bitterly to be honest; this was mainly because she would only depend on others, especially Sasuke, to save or protect her and of course, because, in his words, 'she would waste her time flirting instead of training'. But as mentioned earlier, as the team evolved, so did they. She started working quite hard and did what she could to try and defend herself and help the others too when she could. She helped Sasuke when he was in shooting pain due to the curse mark given by Orochimaru, and when it had taken over his form. She was the one who helped him get through that rough period. This way, they started to gain each others' trust, understanding, and acknowledgement and even went as far as care.

Unconsciously, she smiled at the thoughts going around in her head. She reminisced about the sweet moments shared between herself and Sasuke; about how sometimes they were there for each other and helped one other through their hard and lonely times. She clearly remembered how she was the one who helped Sasuke tackle his curse mark by simply securing him in her arms. She reflected upon how she was so worried about him during the time of his battle with Gaara and how she hugged him teary-eyed in the hospital. That day was one of the few times he had not receded from her hold and just accepted her.

Then she took in account about that one night he had set off for Otogakure. It was her who had tried to stop him that night from continuing to pursue his lonely, revengeful path full of hatred. She recollected crystal clearly how she had confessed her feelings for him and how…

Knock. Knock.

That immediately awoke her from her sugary trail of thoughts. She groaned and just covered her ears with the sides of her fluffy pillow to block away the disturbing sound out. Despite her efforts, she could still faintly feel the soft knocking of the entrance door. Leaving her no choice, she lazily stretched and yawned and dragged her feet off from under the bed covers and rest them on the floor. She heavily walked to the door, annoyed, walked past the couch and reached the entrance door from where the sound initiated.

"I'm coming, I'm coming…" she said with a yawn. "Hold on already." She was a bit ticked off by the sudden invasion and was clearly grumpy as she was still sleepy. She was quite sure it was Naruto as he would often come by to ask her out to train or something. She jerked open the door grumpily and shouted, "What do you want now, Naru-Sasuke-kun? What are you doing here at this time…I mean…come in" She said, a little startled. She motioned her hand for him to come in and sit down. 'What on earth could he want now? Some more sudden shocking news to reveal or something…' She thought.

Sasuke usually never comes by her house unless invited. The fact that he was here now, early in the morning, was more than just unusual but nothing compared to what had been happening the last two days. She just didn't think this was the best time to be coming by; as her long, usually straight hair was quite messy and she was only dressed in a soft, strappy tank top and short shorts. She thought she should at least be dressed decently when he abruptly decides to pop up in her house.

"Um….Let me go and make you something…" She said hesitantly, turning her head to the direction of the kitchen.

"Not needed." He said nonchalantly. "I just came here to remind you to start packing. Now."

"Packing? For…what exactly? Have we been assigned a mission?" She asked curiously.

"No. Don't you remember you were to move in with me?" He enquired, scrunching his eyebrows very slightly.

She put her hands on her hips, now fully wide awake, and replied, "Of course I very well do but you told me I could whenever I wanted to as long as it is before our wedding!" She explained.

"Hn, but that doesn't mean you are going to do it exactly on that day itself or one day before." He started. "Do you have any problems if you start right now?" He said, still with his more or less emotionless façade on.

"Right now?! But I just woke up and moving in takes a long time and needs planning! It can't be done in a single day, you know. There are the clothes, furniture-"

"You don't need your furniture, just clothes and the other such usual essentials. You're moving into the Uchiha mansion. It shouldn't take time at all."

"Fine." She sighed. 'Talk about orders!' she thought and said "Ok, I'll start packing but as long as you let me freshen up first at least!"

He nodded in approval. He watched as she made her way through the bedroom door. After about fifteen minutes, she was back in front of him. She looked at him questioningly. "How come you're still here?"

"Just pack." He said. She nodded her head and mouthed a 'yes'. She again disappeared through the door. After waiting for about forty-five minutes on the couch, he wondered why she was taking so long just to pack essentials and clothes. He stood up and turned open the door-knob and saw the messy room. Sakura turned back to see who had come through and saw her fiancé scanning the clothes-filled room.

"Just give me some time, ok? It's hard! I don't know which clothes to throw away and which to take! I even have shoes to pack and- so please just wait or how 'bout I come to the mansion myself, later, ok? Please?" She said. She was fretting like crazy. Her room was sprawled all over with clothes and the last thing she wanted was to have him around inspecting the place at such a time.

"Hn. Be sure to finish by today. Latest by this evening." He said and left the room, back to his house

It had become afternoon by the time Sakura had finished packing. She looked at her house one last time before heading off to her new house, which would soon turn into her home, or so she hoped. She had decided not to sell it yet as she may have left some things behind due to the excess hurrying.

The day had become hotter, though cool winds blew occasionally. The sun glowed a warm shade of golden while hiding behind two small, fluffy clouds. Down below, Sakura had reached her destination, the Uchiha compound, the huge deserted area of the village. She gingerly entered the gate and looked around the place. The area gave her an eerie, haunted feeling. Perhaps due to the innumerable number of murders that had taken place in this, very spot many years ago on one still and lonely night. She had never been inside before as she had had no reason to and it was sort of out of limits, being a heritage spot. She looked at the piece of paper in front of her, which had the directions to which mansion to go to.

She finally stopped at one of the bigger mansions of the estate. This seemed to be her destination. She stepped up the three stairs which led to the entrance door. She rang the doorbell once and waited patiently for the lone resident of the compound and of course of this mansion too, to open the door. She heard the faint thumping noise of someone walking down wooden stairs. The door was opened and the resident, Sasuke, was there to greet her. He moved aside so that she could enter. She slowly walked in while dragging her suitcases along. She put them down and shut the door behind her. She let out a fatigued sigh.

"So, this is it." She breathed out while looking around in all directions. She took her time to look at each wall of the house. It was more or less quite simple but was huge and elegant. There was even a flight of semi-carpeted stairs leading to three rooms upstairs. The house was dotted with antique pieces here and there for decoration, with four rooms, including the kitchen, downstairs. It was clearly an Uchiha's home as their main symbol, the red and white uchiwa fan, was used as decorations in various places around the home. She couldn't wait to live here though it looked really hard to maintain and clean, due to its size.

"Follow me. I'll show you your bedroom." Sasuke said monotonously. She did as instructed and he led her upstairs to the middle room. He opened the door to reveal a grand carpeted room. "This is the master bedroom and yours for now." Sakura stared at the room in awe. It was truly stunning yet looked warm and homely.

The grand bed stood proudly in the centre with soft net curtains. There was a large dresser and a few cupboards, with beautifully carved patterns. Every corner was basically indescribably beautiful, in Sakura's eyes at least. She ran in and sat on the bed and bounced on it out of happiness at once. "Wow, Sasuke-kun, it's beautiful!" She exclaimed. "I pick this side, away from the window and nearer the bathroom and dresser. Is that ok with you?"

"This is only your bed for now, Sakura." He said, looking at her with a what-did-you-expect glance.

She was slightly taken aback by the sentence. "Oh, ok, fine. Whatever you say then." She said. She didn't really expect him to sleep in the other room until their wedding. Every normal couple usually shares the bed before and after the wedding. She sighed and made a mental note to remind herself that this wasn't the 'normal relationship'. Really, she should quit expecting the ordinary with him around!

"I'll just go and get my luggage from downstairs then." She said quickly. After a few moments, she arrived back upstairs to her new bedroom and found Sasuke still in the room. "Is there something you want, Sasuke-kun?" She enquired.

"Hn. Listen, I'm going for a mission in an hour and will return late at night. Don't cook dinner for me." He said, waiting for her to reply.

"…Ok. And how are the wedding preparations going? Are you sure you don't need any of my help?" She replied.

"Hn. Just buy your wedding gown yourself and tomorrow, we'll discuss the issue."

"Right." She nodded. She had totally forgotten about the wedding gown! She was suddenly all pumped up and energized just thinking about buying on of those beautiful, flowing gowns. She bent down and started unzipping her suitcases to start unpacking everything into the cupboards and bathroom. Sasuke left the room and headed to pack for his mission.

The day just passed with Sakura roaming and exploring the area and its whereabouts. She prepared a simple dinner for herself, spent sometime in the veranda of her bedroom, enjoying the crisp, cool breeze blowing past her hair and face, watched some TV and went to sleep.

Late in the night, Sasuke had also returned safely, checked on Sakura and went to sleep in the guest room himself, clearly tired due to the mission.

It was next morning and Sasuke had head off for wedding preparations. Sakura was up and was about to leave for the infirmary for work. The doorbell rang through the house and she opened the door and saw her female, blond friend march right in., who for some reason, looked quite furious. She was really stricken to see her here. 'How on earth did she know I moved in here?' The pinkette thought.

"Ino, how-" She started but was shortly interrupted when her friend started to speak. Correction, more like yell.

"SAKURA!" She shouted. Sakura sighed deeply as she knew that there was a long speech coming up dipped with hundreds of questions. "You NEVER told me that you were going around with the UCHIHA, FOREHEAD-GIRL! Naruto and Sai faithfully told me EVERYTHING about your little SECRET you've been hiding from me, your BEST friend. You are getting married and did not think it necessary to inform me?! You've even moved in with him and god knows WHEN he even became your boyfriend! Well, ANSWER ME GIRL!"

"Ino, pig, calm down and sit!" She said, trying her level best to reach her best friend's voice intensity. Ino did as told, though she still looked infuriated yet excited. She seated herself beside her on the couch. "Ok, I'm going to explain everything and before you start questioning me again, listen to what I have to say!" Ino was silent and looking intensely at Sakura for a good explanation. Taking the silence as her cue, she said, "Hm, good. So it all started about two days ago. Sasuke-kun proposed to me suddenly out of the blue for his own personal reasons. The next day I accepted and he gave me this ring," She showed it to her, "And then he told me that I should move in with him and that we were to get married in a week's time.

Everything was abrupt and we have never dated and nor he has ever been my boyfriend and I just moved in with him yesterday afternoon, ok?"

Ino nodded in approval and let out a girly squeal. "I guess it will do for now, forget the details. What really matters is that you are just about to get married to the hottest guy in Konoha! I can't believe it! Aren't you excited??? Anyway," She looked at her with a wicked smile, "So, how is he?"

"He's fine. We haven't talked much since he was out on a mission-"

"No, not like that, silly! I mean, how is he in… bed…?" She asked with a seductive smirk, waiting patiently for her answer.

Sakura instantly felt her cheeks burn and were turning a nice shade of crimson "Ino! We haven't…I mean…Uh…It's not…what you…." She trailed off, not exactly knowing how to explain the whole muddled up situation.

"What?! Are you saying that you, Haruno Sakura, fiancé of Sasuke Uchiha, haven't slept him yet? Are you insane?" She said disbelievingly. "If I were you, by now I bet I wouldn't even be able to walk up here due to all the tiresome activity all night! Sheesh Forehead, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, you don't understand! It's way more complicated than just a normal relationship. I'll tell you more about it all some other day, ok? Anyway, would you like to go shopping with me to buy all the wedding dresses?" She asked.

"Now you're talking!" She chirped excitedly.

And so, the days before the wedding were packed with work and organizing left for Sasuke and Sakura. The venue had been settled and decorated to perfection, the bridesmaids, groomsmen and best-man had been chosen and informed, the wedding gown and dresses for the bridesmaids had been bought and etc. Basically, all the preparations had been completed just before the big day, after which Haruno Sakura would become-

Uchiha Sakura.

End of chapter 4! Due to a shortage of reviews and votes, I just randomly picked to do the moving in. The wedding is up next. After that, the real fun part starts!

Please review- It's what keeps me going; your support and kindness (cheesy much?)
