Love Means Nothing
A/N Hey guys. This is my first story and I'm really hoping many people enjoy it. Anyway this is kind of based on my original novel but I wanted to do a Sasuke and Sakura version so I hope you enjoy it: P.
I do not own Naruto.
I took a deep breath while looking at myself in the mirror. My medium length pink hair trailed down my back and the knee-length light purple dress hugged my curves beautifully. I had make-up on my right forearm, concealing my Anbu mark. I couldn't help but smirk. I had grown so much over time. The old picture of Team 7 still stood in its position on my dresser. It was hard to believe that time even existed.
"Sakura?" I turned around to look at an angel.
"Oh my God, Hinata you're gorgeous!" I said happily. She blushed and I looked over her once again. The white gown hugged her frame perfectly and showed the curves she hid. Her hair was pinned up in a messy like style with diamonds placed around in it. She wore no make up but she didn't need it. She was breath taking.
"R-really? Are you sure, maybe I should-'' I gently placed my hand over her mouth to stop her from speaking. She was nervous.
"Hinata, you're beautiful."
"..Do you think he really loves me Sakura? What if he doesn't want me, what if I'm not worthy?"
I gave a small giggle, "He loves you Hinata. I can see it in his eyes. Naruto wants you and you're more than worthy. You're strong Hinata and now you will rule along side him as wife of the Hokage." Her eye lit up and she smiled.
"Thanks, Sakura." I told her no problem and helped with the veil. Then we walked out of my house and I grabbed her arm as I did the jutsu to transport up into the banquet hall of the tower.
I looked to see Ino, Tenten, and Temari dressed in similar dresses of mine. They obsessed over Hinata. I escaped the mob and turned down the dark hall.
I walked till I was out of view then I pressed my back to the wall near a corner looking straight. Another body stood at the same position as I on the other side of the corner.
"Captain." I took a deep sigh and looked at the rookie. His mask covered his face but I knew from his voice that he had been the guy we had just recruited.
"Sihamaro, I told you not to bother me today."
"I know captain, but the Uchiha has made a move towards Kohona." I stood there for a minute. I had put a few Anbu on him to watch his moves but there hasn't been any activity for years. Naruto, without my consent, had sent a wedding invitation to a town near where he was last seen, but he couldn't be coming for the wedding could he? I looked at my watch. The wedding didn't start for another hour and a half.
"Where is he?" I asked quietly.
"30 miles North." I calculated the time in my head.
"Go tell Naruto everything you have told me. Tell him I am taking Neji and Shikamaru too."
"Hai." He replied before walking away.
I walked back down the hall and through the door and into the ballroom where hoards of people talked and laughed. I walked directly to the two men and told them what was going on. They nodded and I looked up at Naruto to see him listening to the Anbu. He nodded and made eye contact with me. The last thing I saw before transporting back to my house was Naruto mouthing me to be careful.
It took me twenty minutes to get to my home, get dressed and meet the other two at the village gate. Our masks were on, but I knew they were staring at me.
"If he attacks I want you to retreat immediately." They all shook their heads and like the wind we took off. It only took thirty minutes for me to lock onto his chakra. I took a deep breath as I let go of the branch, falling onto the ground, my knees bending as I landed. I stood up straight and looked at the group in front of us.
I recognized each one of them, their faces burned into my memory. Suigetsu stood to the right, his eyes looking over us. Behind him was Juugo, his eyes weren't cold; they were hurt. Beside him was Karin, her tall frame close to Suigetsu. And then there was him. Our gazes met and I knew he knew who I was. We had run into each other countless times as I killed each Akasuki member. He had watched as I stabbed my katana into Madara's cold heart. He knew my strength.
I took off my mask, my pink curls falling to cover my face. I wasn't afraid to show myself. I saw no reason on wearing a mask. I looked up and met his gaze and silence fell over us. I took a step towards him and then another. I walked closer to him, and stopped five feet away, never leaving his gaze. I could tell everybody was watching us.
"What do you want?" I asked coldly, my words like venom. He looked at me and his left hand moved into his shirt. Shikamaru and Neji jumped back a few hundred feet, but I made no move. I watched as he pulled his hand out, holding a white envelope.
I looked at the envelope, noticing immediately recognizing it as the wedding invitation. So the bastard got it after all. I silently gasped; shocked that he was actually coming. I watched as he smirked and I shook my head.
"Why?" I asked, regaining my strong façade. His eyes went to the ground for a second then looking back up to me, in that split second I could see through his eyes. And my question was answered. He had nowhere to go; he had done what he had sent out to do. I smirked. "You never really changed." I said softly so only he could hear.
"Sakura." His voice rang in my ears. So soft but so strong.
"Neji, Shikamaru, handcuff them. We need to get back or we will be late." I grabbed Sasuke by his shoulders and turned him around as I handcuffed him. Then, I thought for a second on weather we should go back the way we came, but since I wasn't planning on using any of my chakra for later use, I took out a scroll and threw it in the air. As it unraveled I bit my thumb and wrote my initials in blood. The scroll disappeared in smoke and a small bird took its place, growing bigger and bigger. Its blood red feathers shaking in the wind, its beak as bigger than me. I petted its side and then looked at him.
"Ikaku, it's good to see you again, my friend. Could you carry my friends and I back home?"
"Of course," his voices like a drum. We all climbed onto him, holding on as his big body took off into the air. His fifty foot wingspan was more than enough room for us. I laid on my back, and looked up at the sky (a habit I picked up from you know who). The whole way there was only the sound of air rushing past us, and when we were a mile from the village, I placed on my mask and we all jumped off when he soared to the ground. I reached up, catching the scroll and placing it in my pocket.
For the rest of the way we walked, and when we reached that gate, the whole village looked out at us. The Hokage in front, his fox like smile clear. He nodded at me then looked at Sasuke, his smile dropping.
"It's good to see you again," then he looked at me and spoke like a leader, "Sergeant, I need you to get this man and his friends something to wear. I will see you at the wedding." I smiled under my mask.
"Hai!" I yelled, then looking at Kakashi, "Meet at your place." Then I used the transportation jutsu and poofed us to the training grounds right by Kakashi's home.
