Emerald eyes widened and her glossed lips gaped.

"Hyuuga Hinata…"Uchiha Sasuke, former criminal and traitor to the Leaf spoke. It wasn't his usual way of speaking; his tone was gentle and affectionate. His dark eyes weren't hard in pain or narrowed in annoyance, they soft in…love. This was a side she's never seen to him, a completely different side to his normally distant and harsh nature andit was for her. Not herself, but her. "I made promise to you when we were children, before the Academy to take you as my wife and to stand next to you."

The Hyuuga's large, lavender eyes watered and her hands trembled as the dark-haired man clutched her hands to his chest. Around them, fellow shiniobi all stopped their celebrating and watched. Her own eyes watered – not from joy.

"We even had a pretend wedding, my brother as the pastor and your cousin was the witness – he didn't have a choice, being tied to the tree and all." The former heiress laughed lightly and all watched as the Uchiha searched his pockets, withdrawing a ring then placing it her finger. "I came back to the village to fulfil that promise and so we could have a real wedding this time. Be my wife, not to revive my clan but because…be my wife."

I love you hadn't been said yet everyone heard it and knew it too; if his actions and behaviour were anything to go on…he'd saved her from being a bride to a Hyuuga ancestor-moon-freak, helped her save her sister and restored her clan's dignity. He wore a band she made around his head…he was always seen with her. Now, he was proposing to her – Hyuuga Hinata.

He wasn't asking herself, Haruno Sakura to be his wife.

"Yes."

Sakura fled – her heart burning in flames of lavender and red.
