Chapter 1
Revisiting Memories
Twenty three year old Haruno Sakura couldn't get to sleep. She was tossing and turning in her bed once again, for another night, thinking about the same exact thing that had kept her awake for all the other nights. It's been going on now for three years.
She was thinking about Sasuke. . . . .She thought she had finallygot him back, but no. Hewas gone once more. He wasn't a missing nin or anything. In fact, he came back eight years ago, and Tsunde had cleared his name. She even made him captain of the ANBU squad. Just three years ago, he, Naruto, and Rock Lee were sent on a mission. The mission Sasuke had always wanted. The mission to kill Itachi. He had made it clear, of course, that he was the one to make the final move to kill his older brother for revenge. Sakura also remembered the first day that he came back. It was a day like no other, when she was almost over the fact that Sasuke may never come back.
Flash Back
It was a beautiful day, a day like no other. The clouds were like white, puffy cotton, and the sky was a clear blue. She went outside in her garden and started to fuss over her plants. She was fifteen at the time, and had almost gotten over that Sasuke was probably never coming back. That was when she saw a familiar shadow hover over her. She couldn't believe it. She turned her head slowly up.
"S-sasuke-kun?" She asked unsure. She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion.
"Hey Sakura. I've see you haven't changed much. Heh. Still address with the 'kun', huh. Even though I was a missing nin?" He said. She jumped up automatically, and hugged him so tight before she even knew what she was doing. She turned bright red and let go.
"Oh, my gosh. It's really you! When did you get back?" Said Sakura.
"Hi Sakura-chan. We got him back! Just like my promise, right?" Said Naruto. Sakura's eyes filled up with tears. Naruto had surly kept his promise. She had grown fond of him over the years, but only felt the love for a friend for him, and nothing more. She wasn't so sure about Sasuke anymore after all the pain that was left in her heart when he left.
"Oh, Naruto! Come on inside, the both of you! Come on!" Said Sakura going inside. The two followed. "We finally have our Team 7 reunited!"
End of Flashback.
She sighed and sat up in her bed. Not long after that, about six months or so, Sasuke had asked her out.The next couple of yearswere the happiest years of her life. When they finally became twenty, Tsunde hadmade Sasuke to become the captain of the ANBU squad. It was on Sakura's birthday, after celebrating, when he finally told her the news. The news about the mission where he had to take Naruto and Lee. He had no idea when they were going to come back, and how he really didn't want to leave her, but he felt that this mission had to be completed. He left her with a ring. A platinum ring with diamonds, and "My Angel" engraved on the inside. He asked her to marry him.
Flashback
"Sakura, I want you to have this." Said Sasuke getting on his knee in front of Sakura who was in a chair. He took out a small black box, and opened it.
"Sasuke.. . . ."
"Sakura, I know I'm leaving tomorrow morning. . . .Keep this ring if you truly love me. When I come back, we can get married if you want." He said as he tried to slide the ring up her ring finger. Tears started to leak from her eyes.
"Oh Sasuke!" She cried hugging him tightly. "P-promise me you will come back. And bring Naruto and Lee too. . . . . ."
"I promise I will make it back for you. Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"Always remember that I love you no matter what."
End of Flashback
She got up from her bed after revisiting that memory, and went outside to her porch. She lived with Ino, who was engaged to Shikamaru. Ino was getting married, and it seemed as if everyone else was too. Sakura was to be the maid of honor for Ino. Sakura stepped outside into the cool, refreshing air. It sent chills down her spine as she hugged herself close to keep the warmness. Sakura leaned against the metal gate and starred into the stars that shared the dark sky with the big, round moon. She took off her ring and examined it in the moonlight. It looked especially pretty under the night sky, with the glow that shone upon the ring that her love had gave her. She sighed as she thought of him. He had promised to come back, also bringing Rock and Naruto. The words of Sasuke had rung in her ears.
"Remember Sakura. We are always looking at the same moon, no matter how far apart we are. . . ."
She sighed. "Sasuke, are you looking at the moon just like me right now?" she mumbled to herself dumbly. Her heart ached because she didn't even know if he was alive. Almost everyone in the village had given up hope and was almost over it, but not Sakura. Even her friends were starting to lose faith. Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, they were all trying to comfort her and get her to move on. She knew the chances of them being alive weren't likely, but she still couldn't give up. She looked once more up at the night sky.
"Sasuke, are you going to keep your promise? Where are you right now?" She said sadly, and she walked back in, and fell into an uneasy sleep.
End for now!
