Chapter 2

Ramen


Naruto had fulfilled the promise that he had made to Sakura. He brought Sasuke back. But the day after, Sasuke Uchiha had been beheaded for his crimes against Kohona. Sakura Haruno stopped living. Even with the protests of all of her friends and family, she refused to eat or sleep normally. The pink-haired girl had lost her will to live.

There was a knock on Sakura's front door. After hearing the noise she slowly went to open it, only to come face-to-face with her surviving teammate, Naruto. Her red, sunken in eyes stared up at him.

"Sakura!" the blonde loudmouth yelled. "Look at what I brought!" he held up the bag full of miso ramen to show her. Naruto pushed past her and into the kitchen to make the food. After she closed the door, Sakura came into the kitchen and watched him, still silent.

The silence was eating away at him. He understood what it felt to lose Sasuke as well, he was his best friend after all. The first time was hard but seeing as he could never come back now made it worse. The only thing he could do was be there for Sakura and do whatever it took to make her smile again. For this reason, he had more determination.

That day or the next, Sakura did not smile, but Naruto kept coming to her house bringing ramen with him and they ate together. Little by little she started to talk until that one day she smiled and laughed at something he had said about the events he went through that day with Lady Tsunade.

Their scheduled "ramen" time together continued, and each time Sakura gained more and more of herself. She talked and laughed, even started going to work at the hospital again.

It had already been almost an entire year since Sasuke's punishment. That day when Naruto came over he pulled out ramen and began to make it as usual. While he did they talked and laughed, but when it came to finally eating Naruto stopped her when she picked up one of the pairs of chopsticks.

"No, this one is yours." he said quickly taking the other pair out of her hands.

"Does it really matter?" she laughed as she removed the napkin that was rapped around it, causing a metallic ring to fall on the counter beside her ramen cup. Time slowed as Sakura held the ring between her thumb and index finger. It held a single diamond on a white golden band. Her breath caught as she turned to Naruto who was kneeling on the floor beside her.

"Naruto?" she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sakura Haruno, I love you. Will you marry me?" She let her tears fall as she nodded and kneeled down to hug him tightly. At that very moment, unknown to both of them, Sasuke Uchiha was smiling down on his two best friends, thinking "finally".


So thats the second oneshot. It seems like some of these are more of drabbles then oneshots but at least the point gets across. This is actually my first time writing sakunaru in a story by itself so I hope I did alright. and to everyone who read the first chapter ... I plan on having other sasuhina oneshots that add on to first one. So their story is definately not complete. More pairings will be on their way hopefully soon. Thanks for reading and please review!
