Chapter One – My Happily Never After
'Beep'
'Beep'
'Beep'
Someone...turn off the damn alarm...
'Beep'
"Sasuke-kun..." Haruno Sakura, freshly nineteen, murmured as she snuggled deeper into her covers.
'Beep'
"Sasuke-kun..." She murmured again, loudly this time while nudging the bundle next to her.
'Beep'
"Ughh...turn it off yourself..." Uchiha Sasuke, who's turning twenty in June, groaned as he lazily draped an arm around his 'teddy bear' and went back to sleep.
'Beep'
"You're closer to it..."
It was true, the little blue alarm clock sat neatly on a drawer beside Sasuke's side of the bed, ringing, as its short arm reached six and the long arm at twelve.
'Beep'
"It's my room..." Sasuke smirked, half asleep.
"Aargh...jerk." Sakura growled the never forgotten nickname and dug herself out of Sasuke's arms and crawled over his still all-amazing muscular body to reach the alarm clock. (He's still an avid basketball player and works out once per week)
'Beep'
Almost...
'Beep'
Almost...
'Beep'
There.
'Silence'
Sakura sighed in relief and enjoyed the peaceful silence as she withdrew her hand and crawled back to her original place only to be intercepted by a sudden playful hug in the middle of the process.
"Good morning." She giggled as she closed her eyes and relaxed in Sasuke's arms.
"Hn...zzzzz"
-Ten minutes later-
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! What time is it?!! Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura screamed as she threw her covers...well "Sasuke's" bed cover aside.
"It's only six-ten in the morning...go back to sleep." Sasuke yawned and buried his head into his pillow.
"Okay...NO WAIT! I'm going to be late!!! WE'RE going to be late!" she panicked and raced back into her bedroom and into her washroom. "GET THE HELL UP UCHIHA!!" she shouted after in the middle of brushing her teeth and pulling up her socks.
"Yeah yeah mother." He grumbled and got up lazily. They never got a tardy anyway due to his speeding skills. It's illegal mind you.
But it was a little fluffy routine of theirs. Alarm clock rings. They argue on who should close it. Sakura loses. They have a little fight. Go back to sleep. And Sakura wakes up freaking out.
Yup.
Life couldn't get any better.
"Sakura!! Get your butt down here you slowpoke!!" Sasuke called out impatiently from the front door. She woke up first only to be the last to get ready.
"I'm brushing my hair dumbass!"
"Why brush? It's going to get messy anyway."
"For your information Mr. Know-it-all," Sakura retorted stomping downstairs with her schoolbag and a piece of toast in her mouth. "Girls with messy hair like yours don't exactly look good."
"Really now? It looks good in bed." He smirked playfully.
"UCHIHA!!!" She screamed with a flushed face and chased him all the way to his beloved everyday-polished motorcycle outside.
"Don't say that stuff in front of them." Sakura retorted as they arrived to the big entrance of Blaze Institute which held the title of being one of the best universities there is in the country.
And by them, she meant the servants in the Uchiha Mansion. Her family was still in the states along with Sasuke's family making enough money to buy Antarctica. Sasuke's father finally got over the marriage issue and now started to open up a bit more around Sakura.
As for both of them, they were now happily and officially fiancés. Sakura was permitted to stay with Sasuke along with her two babies: Yuki, her cat and her Benz.
Upon arriving in the inner sect of the one hundred acres school ground, both of them split off to their respective classes. Sasuke decided to major in global business trade while Sakura as a doctor.
Last but not least, the unforgotten friends of our dear couples. All of our gay little crew got into Blaze Institute except for Katie who decided to study abroad in the states and Lee, who decided to go to another famous school which specializes in martial arts.
Ino majored in arts, Hinata in music, Shikamaru in math, Neji who also majored in global business trade along with Sasuke, and Tenten in sports. All of them were still zealous sports players but only Tenten decided to take on the professional soccer team.
And our blond dobe?
In Business management.
No one was surprised when Naruto got accepted into Blaze Institute. He had worked extremely hard to catch up on his studies that year and managed to shared the number 1 title in academics along with Sasuke, Neji, and Sakura during their senior year. Now that was a miracle.
In class, Sakura seated herself at the far back seat of the vast classroom. No one bothered her nor talked. They were all hardworking students of the prestigious school. Chatting and fooling around was a foolish thing and everyone had been mature enough to control their rebellious tendencies.
However, sometimes those uncontrollable spirits will unleash, but never around her. No one dared to. It seems like wherever an Uchiha goes, dominance will always take place. And that place was Blaze Institute.
Mess with the alpha's girl...and you're going down, down, down until you can't even see hell anymore. Of course, during non-study periods there will still be everlasting fan clubs taken place around campus. Guess which club has the most members?
Yup...'I Love Uchiha Sasuke Club' whose soul purpose is to build a fan club grave for him so they could chase him forever and forever and forever and forever. Whew...
Without a doubt, it sometimes drove Sasuke and Sakura nuts, but they managed to hold on to their sanity somehow with the help of others.
Sakura stared at the clock as she listened to the drone of her professor's voice. Five minutes till lunch...she thought with a small smile. She could finally spend some precious time with her man.
Bringggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Inner Sakura: Hell yeah! I can get out of this place now!!
Instantly she raced downstairs to the parking lot where she says her daily goodbye to Sasuke who always leave around the afternoon to tend his father's business as a practice for the future. You could say it was his part time job.
Most adults would complain having one morning class per day for a bachelor kid wasn't enough. But for a genius like Sasuke, it wasn't a problem. He practically aced the final exams.
Sakura still had a marketing class which she takes as a minor in the afternoon along with Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Naruto. Neji, like Sasuke, was another smartass who only needed one morning class per day.
He then spends the rest of his time working as a fortune teller. (AN: Haha just joking.)
Neji spends the rest of his time working along side with Sasuke in their family trade. Sakura also worked part time in a little clinic. After work, Sasuke would come and pick her up.
"Sasuke-kunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!"
Sakura snapped her mouth shut as some pesky fan girls took her line. She then pouted, at this rate, she could never hang out with Sasuke.
Obsessive people were scary these days. They knew all about Sakura and Sasuke's time schedule as well as little information that they didn't dream of them knowing like how Sakura hated spicy food or having a fear of using tampons; or Sasuke's brand of cologne and shoesize.
"MARRYY MEEEEE"
They continued.
"Help, help, help!! Ahhhhhh...Sasuke-kun there's an ant chasing me!!"
Some EQ these girls have when it comes to love.
"Ditch that evil Haruno! I'm telling you, she's no good!"
"We'll have a special graveyard of fans for you! After we die of course!"
"Get the hell away!" Sasuke growled as he pushed them out of his way. "How many times do I have to tell you? I already HAVE A FUDGING GIRLFRIEND! I DON'T need a fan club graveyard but yes you're right about the dying part. Now leave me alone and DIE!!"
"But, but, but..."
Sasuke looked over the hoard of girls and searched for his secret favourite colour among the crowd.
Pink.
Bingo!
His lips curved upwards into a little smirk as he made his way towards the owner of pink hair who was sitting on the entrance steps waiting for the fan girls to disperse. He couldn't help but think how cute she looked with her head propped up with both of her palms at each cheek.
"Yo." He greeted. "Some chick I know is zoning out. I wonder what she's thinking about."
"Huhh??" Sakura jumped in surprise and looked upwards to find Sasuke. "H-Hey!! What took you so long?"
"The usual." He replied and made an indication towards his fans. "Let's go eat something."
She nodded happily and followed him to a ramen stand nearby.
Inner Sakura: Hell yeah! Alone time with Sasuke-kun AT LAST!!! BOO-YAH!
Ramen Stand
"YOOOOO!!!!!!!!! SAKURA-CHAN AND SASUKE-TEME!"
Sakura hung her head in dismay for a second as she heard the familiar voice behind them. "Hey Naruto and Hinata-chan." She greeted without looking at the people behind because everywhere Naruto goes, there's always bound to be Hinata.
"Forehead girl, I hope you haven't forgotten about us."
"Hello Ino-chan and Shikamaru."
Again, wherever Ino goes, Shikamaru will always be following shortly after.
"Sakura-channnnnn!! What about us?!"
Sakura sweat dropped and almost drop her head into the bowl of hot steaming ramen in front of her. Her alone time was now surely ruined by her still adored friends.
"Hi Tenten-chan and Neji."
When you meet up with Tenten, Neji will be by her side protecting her from sports jocks.
"LET'S EAT!" All of them excluding Sakura, Sasuke, and Neji chorused.
Inner Sakura: So much for having quality time.
It was true; she hadn't spent any time with Sasuke at all during these weeks. Either there was a test or Sasuke had to attend some meetings. Sasuke, who seemed to not have been bothered by these sudden interruptions started having a little contest with each of the boys to see who can eat their ramen the fastest while its still burning hot.
At the end, Naruto, the ramen master won.
Inner Sakura: Boys...
But in the meantime, Sakura ate her ramen slowly and observed her friends carefully; reflecting on how much each and one of them had grown. Her girlfriends were currently gossiping about the latest trends and how a new hottie had just moved into Ino's art class.
Each and one of them had grown in their own ways. Tenten had a healthy strong physically shaped body and two buns still wrapped tightly on her head. Hinata still had that nervous expressions over her face but anyone could tell she was a gentle woman. Ino had grown the most beautifully of all with her fully curved body and vivaciously long blond hair. A real eye-catcher if Shikamaru wasn't around glaring off sex-hungry guys.
Every one of them was beautiful in their own ways, and same goes with the guys. There seems to be a need of working out every week between the guys. Naruto and Shikamaru had developed some biceps and triceps, Neji worked on his legs, while Sasuke focused on his abs. They all had six-packs of course, but Sasuke had the most amazing ones of all. (AN: Drooling now?)
Sighing a little, Sakura joined in with the discussion among the girls and quickly finished her ramen before the next class starts. Each couples separated going to the places they need to go before class.
"I'll buy you an ice-cream." Sasuke suddenly suggested as they headed towards he parking lot alone. Sakura gave him a puzzled face but nodded happily. He never offered something that openly unless she was depressed which she clearly wasn't.
Sasuke bought her; her favourite strawberry and vanilla cone at a nearby convenience store and set out towards the parking lot once again.
She couldn't help but stare curiously at the guy beside her while quietly licking her ice-cream. When did that jerk become that nice...?
Smoothing out the hem of her dark green skirt, she waited as Sasuke got ready on his bike.
"Hey before you go, why did you—" she blurted, not being able to control herself but was quickly cut off with a quick kiss.
"Hmm...because I just want to buy you an ice-cream that's all." Sasuke read her mind and placed his helmet on. "I missed hanging out with an annoying girl like you."
"Wha—"
Before she finished, he drove off without a warning, letting her stand there dumbfounded with the 't' hanging on the edge of her mouth.
Bringgggggggggggggggggggggg!!
The warning bell rang, signaling all students to return to their classes. Sakura smiled and ran back into the institute with her already finished ice-cream.
I have such an awesome boyfriend!!!!! She cheered in her mind. Life had been so perfect ever since they had officially gotten together. It was like some fairytale.
Marketing Class
"Saakkuurraaaa-channnn!!" Ino hissed in the middle the class while frantically waving a hand in front of the pink-haired girl. .
"Don't bother her Ino-chan." Tenten giggled quietly.
"S-She's probably busy thinking a-about her Sasuke-kun." Hinata finished with a smile.
"Ah...the power of love." Naruto added romantically and winked at Hinata, almost making her faint.
"Tch...how troublesome." Shikamaru muttered and twirled his pencil lazily.
BAM!
"Yamanaka, Uzumaki, Hyuuga, Shikamaru! Please be quiet during class time." The professor scolded, banging her palm on her desk.
"Yes mam." They sang and went back to their work like preschoolers.
"Suckers..." Sakura snickered quietly and smiled at her friends helplessly.
BAM!!
"HARUNO! There will be absolutely no interruptions during class you hear me?!"
"Yes professor." She winced, earning snickers from others in turn.
