ENJOY!
A/N: THIS CHAPTER WILL BE A TIME SKIP TO THE PAST, HOW SASUKE AND SAKURA HAD MET...^_^
{CHAPTER THIRTEEN}
AUGUST 19 1829
"Ow" Sakura yelled as her left side collides with the hand ground.
She hears a grunt behind her and turns to see *him*
"Ugh" she whispered
He raises his head and looks at Sakura, his expression changes from one of surprise to shock and then disgust. He brushes his hand over his jet black hair removing a green leave from it.
Sakura stood up cleaning an invisible dust from her body as she glared at the male in front of her.
She imitates his disgusted expression and then cross her arm.
"Hn" he said
"You!" Sakura spat angrily " Listen nusiciance, i understand that you hate me and stuff ,believe me the feeling is mutual, but trying to kill me by scaring me of the top of a tree is not funny"
His dark eyes narrowed "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that already. You are such a klutz even a rabbit would not have much time leading you to your own death." He turns to walk away.
"Oh, so I am a klutz, I am not the one who just screamed like a lady!" Sakura retorted
"That's because I was surprised to see you. Advise, do not show yourself in public, it is not good for the human eye"
Sakura's anger rose...How dare he?!
"And you think yours is decent?" She asked taking a step closer to him.
She raises her chin naughtly at him staring into his eyes.
He was much taller than her, she felt so insecure.
"Hn" he said
"Those are not words mister!"
He shrugs and starts walking away
"Hey, get back here, I am not done with you!" Sakura yelled
"I am!'' he yells back.
His voice sounded farther away and soon Sakura couldn't see him anymore.
She stomped her feet angrily, she hated that man, she hated him so much, that she knew.

...
"Sakura darling" Sakura's mother called
"Yes mother?"
"We have being invited to an afternoon tea party with the Hyuugas today, would you want to attend?" her mother asked putting the last hair clip on her hair.
"Why yes mother, what's the occasion?"
"A member of the family is being betrothed to today"
"Oh and who would that be?"
"Lord Neji"
Sakura's face changed. She never like that man, he was always so serious about everything, she was even surprise to hear he was to be betrothed.
"Pray tell, what has got you like that Sakura?" her mother asked when she noticed Sakura's expression.
"Oh nothing. But mother is it not strange that I have come of age and yet no one has being offered to me?" Sakura questioned.
Most of her friends had already being taken as brides of lords, kings, dukes and others.
Even her best friend Aoi was taken by some weird duke last month and she was no where.
It wasn't that no one had come, but she was always declining them.
It was either they were too good looking or were full of themselves or they were just not right for her.
Sakura was from one of the most prestigious family in the city of Himeta and if she were to be betrothed to anyone, she would prefer a prince, someone who would love her for her and act like the man of her dreams.
"Sakura" her mother's voice called
"Huh?"
"You spaced out again, do you wish to come or not?"
Sakura sighed "Well..yes"
"Then go get dressed"
...
...
...
Sakura was glad her cousin were allowed to escort her or she would have felt lonely.
While she sat down and took out of her tea, her eyes went to everyone at the party.
They all looked happy and jolly. Sakura noticed some couples had being marked,meaning they would be betrothed soon.
Her gaze went to her wrists which was as clear as the blue sky.
She didn't have any mark yet.
Meaning she wasn't destined to have an husband yet.
She took a sip of her tea again and waited patiently for her cousin and mother to join her.
They had wandered off somewhere saying they wanted to greet some guests.
"Sakura!" a voice called her.
She turned to see Aoi "Aoi!"
Both hugged each other "Oh, you look splendid"
"Thank you, so do you" Sakura said
"So?" Aoi urged
" I have not being marked yet Aoi" Sakura sighed
"What! Nonsense, but you are very pretty ,pretty enough to attract man" Aoi said
"Yes, but not pretty enough to attract a mark"
Both girls sighed.
The sound of a trumpet rose their attention and they sent their gaze to the announcer.
"Ladies, gentleman, lords,dukes...I present to you the king and queen of Himeta"
Sakura blinked, she had never seen the royal family before. Although her parents have being invited to their tea parties, Sakura never once saw a member of the family.
"Oh, I can't wait" Aoi giggled exitedly behind her.
"I wonder how they look like" Sakura mumbled.
The Hyuugas was be pretty famous to have the royal family at their midst.
Sakura turned her eyes to the entrance door and came across a charming gentleman with dark eyes and dark hair.
He was tall and sophisticated .
She could feel herself blushing.
Her gaze turned into her glare when she saw the other person walk into the room.
It was the crazy plant killer who had tried to kill her eyes narrowed distastefully.
"He is a member of the royal family?" She asked Aoi
"Yes, that's Uchiha Sasuke and the other man beside him is his elder brother Uchiha Itachi" Aoi said "Are they not beautiful"
Sakura snorted "As if"
Her gaze went back to him and this time their eyes met.
He stared at her arrogantly before turning his face away.
*What a pest* Sakura thought
Sakura had no idea why she detested him so much. Maybe because he had once destroyed her sakura flowers once which earned him the name 'plant killer'
She had only seen him a few times at some galas and was once unfortunate to have a dance with him.
And that happened a year ago at the city's festival.
Some idiot had paired them up together and so they had to dance.
He always had that arrogant face on and it was like whenever he saw her, he lived to mock her.
She never knew his name and wasn't interested to know until today. Throwing another icy glare at where he stood before, she turned to go join the rest of the crowd.
She didn't notice some tomoe like marks appear on her wrists.
