I sometimes ponder the small details of my life. The simple joys of being a kunoichi, waiting for the death that accompanies me every mission travel. I laughed bitterly at the memories wherein I was just a simple, naive genin. Holding a kunai when my teammates pitifully defended me and fought without troubles. As if I was the damsel.
Now I look at myself in the bathroom mirror with pride, a glimmer of hope went pass my lips when I smiled. I was no longer that... That damsel. Kunais were not only my tool of defense, but my right hand fist. My right hook that could break bones, and heal them afterwards without any distress.
And then Sasuke came, walked into our life like it was a stroll in the park. His faced remained impassive like always and his enigmatic facade still the same. I hated him, loathed him. He had no right to be here; he had no right to live. He was to be killed, but Naruto did not agree. Sasuke was his brother; it was hard to see the traitor die in the spite of vengeance. But this minor detail was left forgotten by the Elders, a major disagreement between the council of elders and Naruto's fiery temper.
"I would never, never ever allow it to see my brother die in the hands of Konoha. If it's worth the risk of my position, then so be it. Kill him and I quit!"
Naruto's words were firm; too mature for his personality. But Naruto... He loved Sasuke; his only brother, his rival, his best friend. And so as it was decided by the Rokudaime, Naruto, Sasuke was free (if you call three years of house arrest, being stripped of his position of a Chuunin to a Genin, and five years of doing C-Ranked missions, "free").
I didn't accept him for a long time, but I did. It took a while. He wasn't the same old revenge-driven, tweleve year-old, deprived teen he was before. He, like Naruto, had matured. But I did take note that it took him a good twelve years to realize how stupid he was back then. I laughed when he admitted that maybe, just a little, he was foolish for being blinded because of revenge.
And I think he opened his eyes now, but it wasn't fully opened yet. Maybe it was just a squint. Hm, no matter. He has seen light. Or I think he did.

I sometimes ponder the small details of my life, from being a weakling to one of the top medics in Konoha. From being a friend—
"Sakura-Chan! I'm so glad you're okay! Teme and I were so worried about you!"
a girlfriend—
"Date? Since when did you date, Sasuke-kun?"
a fiance—
"Sakura, marry me. And by the way, I won't take no for answer. I've already set-up the fireworks."
a wife—
"And I now pronounce you as Lord and Lady Uchiha. You may kiss the bride!"
—to being a mother. But that'll have to wait for a few more months. After all, it takes nine months to hold in a baby, right? I laugh and as I think to myself, I can't help but feel like falling in love again.
Because, ironically, everyday feels like the first.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
To be honest with you guys, this is my first time writing such... an emotional drabble/fic. Dani said she liked it, Kat said too. Haha, well. I don't know if I really did good in this one because I completely rushed in to it.
Thank you for the reviews~ I appreciate it very much. I do plan on having a new fic, I'm not sure yet. But it'll be soon.
