Favorite Book

We were only seven, if I remember correctly...

"Then they live happily ever after, The End." She closed the book and looked dreamily at me.

"That's it?" I asked.

She nodded, "What more do you want? The prince already found Cinderella and he fell in love with her."

"That's a bit too quick." I pointed out while doing my homework. We were at the stairs that goes to our school's front door.

She only smiled at me, "It's their story, Sasuke-kun. We all have our story."

"Fairytales aren't true, Sakura."

"It is, if you believe in them."

"Then I don't." I know I'm being cold, but I'm just saying the truth. Why are you even hoping on something that cannot be happen in reality?

I heard her sigh, "Cause' all you do is study."

"That's the point why we go to school, right?" I turned behind me, where she is, her elbow was resting on her lap while her hands were sticking on her cheeks. Her emerald eyes were staring at me and she didn't utter a word.

"Hn." I got back to doing my homework.

I know she was staring at my back, I can feel it. She then averted her gaze from me to the book cover. Her tiny fingers traced the word "Cinderella" on it. I can feel her close her eyes and she imagined the world of Cinderella.

To confirm it, I turned back at her and I was right, but the difference is: she was smiling.

The wind blew, making her short pink locks sway on her cheek. Sometimes, I wonder how did that made a natural hair color.

"That's okay."

I tilted my head to the side. Did she say it out of her thoughts?

Slowly, Sakura opened her eyes that was directed at me. She then smiled with her eyes closing, "You'll understand in the future, Sasuke-kun."

When she opened her eyes again, she was really sure about what she said because they glinted with determination. One that'll keep their word.

But...

"Don't hold on to it," I went back to my homework, "you'll waste your hope on me."

Ten years old, her hobby is still reading.

"They met on the crowd and they felt something connect with them. One look at their eyes and their whole world contains only them..." She was smiling while she was reading.

We were at the school's library. I was picking a book to borrow for our home reading before going home. If you're wondering why she's here with me, then we go home together. Don't fangirl over it, it was suggested by our parents since our way home is the same.

I'm not a reader, I'm just doing this for my grade. And if ever I will read a book, it has to be a textbook, but the teacher told us to borrow a book and know the plot of it before writing the home reading activity form he has given us.

"...The guy can't help but to walk straight to the brunette to ask her name or to know a little about her. The girl was only staring at the guy, she was about to go for him too, but the train's door closed and the guy didn't make it in time..."

My right fingers stopped from fingering each book I pass by and turned to her. I can only see her side view, she was holding a book while she stood there. I can see the words reflected in her eyes as she read it out loud.

And her lips, as always, was curved into a smile.

"You're going to borrow that?"

Her head shot up from the book to me before she nodded, "Hm," she turned back to look at the book, "the first part immediately tells the first time the characters met, it signifies how they started to create a tingy feeling within them."

I went back to the book shelf in front of me, "In other words, they just encountered love at first sight."

She was still smiling, "Yes."

I looked at her from the corner of my eyes. Her pink hair was long now, it already past below her shoulders. Her height is one centimeter lower than me and her body is getting fit, her chest was still small. She closed the book and held it close to her chest as she looked at me with a grin, "Have you found a book now, Sasuke-kun?"

I went back in front of me and took the book that was the only thing familiar to me.

"Harry Potter again?" I heard her mutter.

"Hn." I walked right pass her and procceeded my way to the counter so that I can give my library card to the librarian for borrowing this book.

I felt her ran to me until she was beside me and walked instead.

"I thought you didn't believe in fairytales?" She grinned, "Are you believing it now?"

A sigh escaped my mouth as I turned my head to her and gave her my bored look, "No." then I continued walking.

I felt her shake her head, "Fairytales can happen in reality, Sasuke-kun." I turned to her and her bright emerald eyes were staring straight at my onyx ones, "You're just not looking closely."

I grunted, "Even if there is, I'm not searching for it."

Then she gave me a bright grin and walked ahead of me.

I raised a brow, "What?"

She tilted her head behind her to look at me as she stopped walking with that smile still on her mouth.

And I didn't reply on the words she said.

"You didn't deny that there's actually a fairytale in reality."

Twelve years old, 6th grade, she was starting to stop bugging me on her fairytales and she was slowing getting matured.

My mouth eacaped a sigh as I turned around, my left hand on my left shoulder, which is where I held my school bag, and my right hand on my pocket and I gave her a stoic look, "Stop reading. You'll trip if you continue to walk with your eyes focusing on your book rather than the road."

"And he still loves her even if..." She mumbled.

"Huh?"

She looked up from her book to me. Our gap between us is one and a half meter stick. When our eyes locked, she smiled, raise the book and showed me the tittle.

"Counting the Time...?" I read it out loud.

She nodded, "The main character has a cancer, the cure hasn't been found yet. She didn't have faith in her life-span so she decided to spend the last remaining days of her life, but then---"

"Then she found a guy and they both fell in love." I continued with a snort, "It's predictable, it's either she dies on the end or live and end up with the guy."

"And he loves her."

"Didn't I say that they both fell in love with each other?"

"Yes you did."

"....?"

Her smile broadened a bit as her eyes was close to closing, "Sasuke-kun, when the guy knew that she has a cancer, he still fights for her and he still loves her, eventhough he knew there's a risk he'll take."

"Isn't that normal?"

After I said that, she stared at me first before she shook her head, the same time as the wind blew with Cherry Blossom petals flying around us.

"You just don't get it, Sasuke-kun."

I know.

Thirteen. We were in different room.

As I walked past section B room, I hear a group of guys on the door chatting and I accidentally read their conversations:

"She's smiling!"

"Woah."

"She seems glowing."

I should have ignored them and continued walking, but curiousity took the best of me.

I took a peek on who they are looking and I saw her sitting near the window while reading a book, and she was smiling while reading the book.

The sun from the window enlightened her view. Her pink hair shined.

And for a few seconds, she chuckled lightly on what she read, making the guys who were staring at her blush.

I only stare at her.

"Eh, Sasuke-kun? What are you doing here?"

I turned to my back and looked at the person who called me, "Yamanaka."

She tilted her head before she looked at the person I was looking at and her lips turned a smile, "Ah, there she go again."

I raised a brow, "What is?"

She turned back to me, "Well, whenever people saw her read, they would see many kinds of emotions in her. Like whenever she reads a good part of her story, she would smile and some people think she's glowing," she turned to Sakura through the door and smiled, "which is true. And everytime she reads a funny part in her book, she would chuckle lightly and every time there's a sad part in the story she reads, she would cry, which she always prevent but failed to. She would cover her mouth and tears would fall out of her eyes." she turned to me, "and guys find it cute."

I turned to Sakura and this time, she's crying.

What Yamanaka said... I can't seem to disagree.

Guess people are now used to her habit of reading.

Fifteen.

"I love you, Sasuke-kun! Please go out with me!"

First of all, we're at the back of the school. Secondly, I was called here and I just arrived then I suddenly heard her proclamation. Thirdly, it's in the middle time of lunch. Fourtly, we were only alone. And lastly, this girl is one of my fangirls, what's the name? Ami? I don't know.

I sighed and turned my back on her, "No."

She gasped, "W-Why?"

I turned my head to the side and stared at her in the corner of my eyes, "You asked why?" I snorted, "Do you even know me?"

She nodded, "Y-You're Uchiha Sasuke-kun, one of the sons of the heir on the Uchiha corp, Uchiha Fugaku. Your mother is Uchiha Mikoto and your brother is Uchiha Itachi. You're one of the top students in the 3rd years. You're also in class III-A in Kakashi-sensei's room. You entered basketball during your 6th---"

She's my stalker----one of my stalkers.

I grunted which made her stop blabbering, "You may now all of that," I shot her a last glance before looking back in front of me, "but you will never know who is me."

Then I left her alone.

I walked back to the back door of our school's building.

When I was near the small stairs that goes inside, I saw her leaning on the wall while reading her new book.

I stopped when she looked up at me, with that smile that is always present on her lips. She closed her book before placing the bookmark, which she made, and placed it on her side as she walked towards me.

When she was beside me, she positioned her body the same as mine, making it look like she was walking beside me all along.

I stared at her in my right before sighing and continued our way to our classroom.

"Why were you waiting for me?"

"I saw what happened."

I took one glance at her before looking back, "Hn."

I can feel her smile as she showed me the cover of her book in front of my face. I looked at her and raised a brow, but she only returned it with a smile. I'm now taller than her, her head was leveled to my ear and her pink hair was reaching to her waist. I looked back at the cover and the tittle was: "Having a Cassanova".

"You're a Cassanova, right?" She took the book away from my face and held it close to her chest.

I gave her a cold stare before walking ahead of her. She has to run for a few feet until she's leveled with me.

"It's okay, I'll try to understand."

When I looked at her, she was already reading. And I don't even know if she's really reading or studying.

Seventeen, she was being more mature now... in books.

I went inside my roon, carrying a tray of snacks.

As I stepped further more, I can see her lying in my bed. If you're wondering what she's doing here, we were studying for our mid-terms and we were in the middle of our break time.

She was laying there, as if it's her own bed, and she was reading her newly book.

I sighed and went to the desk just beside my bed to place our tray of food there. I sat at the side of my bed, just beside her as I turned to look at her and began asking, "What are you reading now?"

As I said those, her head shot up and our eyes locked with each other. Few moments pass and we were just staring at each other until her mouth moved to a smile.

She slowly sat up, looked at what page she was at, and closed the book before she gave it to me.

I raised a brow and she only smiled. Sighing in defeat, I took the book away from her grasp.

"I'm on page 75."

I looked at her first before I lie down on my bed and began opening at the said page she had said, knowing that it's on the good part. I just know it.

And as I was on the page, I read:

Jess know that smirk of his as she blushed to a scarlet red, "M-Mark--"

She was cut off when Mark pressed his lips on hers, making her gasp at the sudden touch as a strong vibration began surrounding her body.

Jess moaned when Mark began to deepen the kiss. He nibbled her button lip and she opened her mouth approvingly.

She can feel him smirking on the kiss but she let it slide as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, wanting him more.

Mark wrapped his arms around her waist, not breaking the kiss as he slowly made his hands on the hem of her shirt and slowly held it up---

I can feel my face heat up, even my ears as I immediately closed the book. I instantly shot my head to look at the girl beside me and glared at her, "You're reading this?"my voice threatening, "This is just what Kakashi reads, only in words."

She shrugged and took the book away from my hand, "Geez, it's fine. I'm already allowed to read this kind of stuff."

My brows twitch, "You're only seventeen."

She lie down on my bed and opened her book, "It's okay, Sasuke-kun." she then turned to me, "I'm only reading, I won't do this stuff."

That only made my face getting warmer and I glared at her again, "Sakura---"

"But..." She smiled and looked into my eyes, "I'll do it in the future, at the right place and at the right time..." I stared back at her with a stern look, but her smile only grew.

"...with the man I love."

....

Nineteen, our first year college. We go to the same school and we stay on the same condominium, only that our room are seperated but we live at a the same floor.

"Look, look! He looks cute!"

"Eh! where?!"

I grimaced when one of a group of girls pointed at me. And as the other girls saw me, their eyes glinted.

"Y-You're right!"

"He's not cute, he's hot!"

"I'm calling dibs! He's mine!"

"No way! I want him too!"

"Not if I make the first move first!"

I twitched when they began to march toward me, gripping at each other for the win.

But someone suddenly tapped my shoulder fron behind. I turned around and sighed in relief.

She was taking deep breath, her other hand was on her knee with her newly book as she took a deep breath. Her head was hung low, making her face stare at the ground beneath us, "S-Sorry for t-the wait... I got trouble on finding where I was.

I felt the group of girls stop when the girl in front of me look up, her pink hair was no more covering her face. She has grown, but I'm now a head taller than her.

"P-Pretty." I heard one of the group of girls murmured and I can even feel them developing attraction to her. I know, disgusting.

The girl in front of me turned to them and when she gave them a warm smile, the girls gasp at her beauty. I can imagine what their vision is when they look at her, her glowing when she smile as her aura shined. Che.

"S-So... beautiful..."

"They both look like a model."

I shot my head to them and glared at them, but they only seem to melt. I think I just shined like what the pink-haired girl beside me did. The heck?

"T-They look like a perfect couple!!!"

"I-I know right!!!"

"W-Wow...."

I grunted at their comment. I heard a giggle beside me and I turned my head to the sorce of the sound.

She was giggling with a fist in front of her mouth. She then turned to me and smiled, "Let's go home, Sasuke-kun."

I nodded, "Aa."

*

The cherryblossom petals flew past and over us, knowing that it's close to winter.

She walked ahead of me, reading yet another book, skipping and humming on her pace.

It was a broad daylight despite the afternoon. The pink petals fits the color of her bumblegum pink hair.

We've grown now. I'm almost a head taller than her. Our moms kept on crying when the day we were packing our stuffs to move to college. My dad and my brother said good luck to me while her dad told mo to take care of her, I said I will. When her dad told me that, she went on complaining to him that she's no longer a baby, but her dad only smiled at her, pat her head and hold her tight while saying: "No matter how old you are, you'll always be my princess."  That made our moms cry more while Sakura's eyes welled up, preventing herself to cry. Me and my dad only look at each other and smiled while Itachi just chuckled. I respect her family as she respects mine. You could say we're now family friends.

A petal of cherryblossom past in front of my face which made me snap out from my thoughts.

I look at her and saw her smiling at me, her hands clasped on her back.

I raised a brow, "What?"

Her smile broadened, "I was just thinking."

"About what?"

She raised her book and the title says: "True Bestfriends."

I looked at the book then turned to look at her.

Her smile is still present in her face.

"What about it?"

She grinned, "Since I've known you my whole life, Sasuke-kun," she looked up and stared at the cherryblossom petals falling with a longing look in her eyes, "Can I consider you my best friend?" she turned to me.

I pause and gaze at her eyes. After a moment, I sighed and close my eyes before walking ahead of her, "Do whatever you like."

She smiled and chuckled lightly.

...honestly, I thought we were already best friends from the start.

Fourth year college...... Hn.

We were on our way to our condom. The snowflakes were pouring slowly down on us. It's already winter here.

I was ahead of her and this time, she look dull and she wasn't reading a book.

I turned my head to the sideways so that I can turn to look at her, she was wearing a green coat with a pink skirt and pink scarf.  She was walking while looking on the ground, her eyes read nothing.

And she wasn't smiling.

I sighed, making the air fog and looked ahead of me, "What is it?"

I can feel her look up at my back before looking down on the snowy ground and her face held the same.

I don't like that look in her face.

I stopped on my tracks and turned to face her while pulling my blue scarf away from my mouth. My eyes staring straight at her emerald ones, "Tell me."

She stopped walking too as she look up to meet my gaze. There were snowflakes on our head but we didn't mind.

A few seconds later, she smiled, but that wasn't the smile I always see.

"Sasuke-kun... I bought a new book."

"...?"

Her smile widened with that dull look in her face, "The story is about this girl who's very close to this one guy.."

Every word she said, I kept looking at her.

She continued, "The girl... has been in love with the guy ever since they met..."

"..."

"And she always kept it a secret, but day by day, it only made her think that he wouldn't return her feelings.."

"..."

"And most of all..."

She took a deep breath and looked straight in my eyes, inside of me.

"..she's afraid to loose the friendship they have."

We stared before I turned back forward, "Is that so?"

I was about to step my foot on the snowy ground to continue walking, but I felt her pull my coat to stop me and that made me turn to her.

Her cheeks were red and she was breathing hard making the air fog with every breath. She looked straight in my eyes. She tip-toed so that she can level her height with me and made our faces closer, her hands holding tightly in my coat. And her eyes, were slowly tearing up.

"I love you, Sasuke-kun.."

I look back at her eyes and I knew it read nothing. I took a pause before answering her,

"I know."

Her eyes widened.

She let go of me.

She stook a step back.

Her eyes started to water.

She made an effort to smile, but it was futile.

Her bangs covered her eyes.

"I-Is that s-so?"

She ran past me, making our shoulders hit.

And she continued running away...

*

From that day, we didn't talk to each other.

Correction, she didn't dare talk to me.

We don't go home together now. We sometimes past each other on the hallways, but she wouldn't look at me. In the condominum, there's two room in each floor and we live on the same floor. So everytime we both go out early in the morning and ride on the elevator, she didn't go with me in the elevator and she avoid eye contact until the elevator door closed in front of us. But one time, when she went inside the elevator first and before the elevator door closed, I slipped my hand in the middle making the elevator open again and I went inside with her. One word: Silence. No one dared to talk. When the elevator door opened, she immediately went out and went into her room.

And to me? I'm not the one to start a conversation.

Days past and things between us didn't change.

And at those days, I don't see her reading anymore.

Spring's almost near as the winter season vanished, mean it's close to our graduation.

The person responsible for the togas already gave it to us to wash it in order for us to use it neatly in our graduation day.

And the head master of the school decided that after our graduation, she planned to make a graduation ball for us---like a prom. We can bring our dates and it was required that we should wear ball gowns and tuxs.

But before the graduation day happened, my parents and Sakura's parents went to our comdoms.

"Sasu-chaaaaaaaan!!!"

I grunted when my mom immediately hugged me, making my dad, my brother, and her parents laugh. We were at my room and I saw in the corner of my eyes that she was smiling at us, and still, it wasn't the smile I always see. She's sitted right beside me.

My mom's eyes cried with waterfall tears as she sobbed, "S-Sasu-c-chan!  *sniff*   I-I missed you! WAAAHHH!!"

I tried to push her, but she would only hug me back, "M-Mom! CUT IT!"

As my mom continued hugging me, I saw Sakura's mom glomped her daughter from her back, making her cough at the surprise. I prevent myself to chuckle.

"M-Mom!!!"

"Sakura!! LOOK AT YOU! You're almost taller than me!! WAHHHH!!"

Mothers....

I sighed before I chuckled.

After the whole embracing thing, both family stayed at my comdom and we were now having our dinner. We were chatting, catching up with our life. I notice that she treat me normally, but her eyes and smile didn't enlighten me. It was forcefull.

...Hn.

"So, I heard you guys are having a graduation ball after the ceremony." My mom blurted.

I sighed and nodded.

"Hm-hmm." Sakura mumbled while she took a bite of her steak.

My mom and her mom looked at each other before they both grinned at the same time. Both our fathers sighed while my brother was almost chuckling.

I know where this is going...

"Sasuke."

"Sakura."

As our mothers called our names, Sakura gave a questioning look at them while I was sure that my face was completely annoyed.

"What is it, Mom? Mikoto-san?" Sakura asked, still biting her steak.

"We were thinking.." My mom started.

"That..." Her mom continued.

Our mothers eyes glinted and they both said out of excitement:

"You two should go to the ball together!"

I already expected this while Sakura spit out the steak in her mouth and chocked.

"W-WHAT?!"

..hn..

The day of our graduation...

After the headmaster did her speech, we all took our hats and threw them in the air, everyone yelling "CONGRATULATIONS!"

I felt an arm around my neck before being pulled to a headlock.

I looked at the person who pulled me and I saw my best friend grinning with tears falling on his eyes.

"TEME! NO MORE SCHOOL!!! WOAH!!" He laughed, despite the tears falling from his eyes.

I grunted, "Quit pretending to be happy when you're gonna miss going to school. You're crying, idiot."

Ignoring me, he kept on cheering and screaming and throwing his hat in the air over and over again.

My lips formed a smile as I closed my eyes. Hmph, idiot.

Not a second later, our gang went to us and they were all in their happy grins: Gaara, Kankurou, Neji, Lee, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, and Sai. I can also see Lee crying like a baby while the others had some tears in their eyes, preventing them to cry.

Shikamaru, the lazy of us all, was smiling like a lunatic before his right hand reached his right eye as he rubbed them, "Finally, no more troublesome assignments.."

Kiba laughed, "Ohh!!! Shikamaru's all emotional!" Eventhough he teased, I can see tears forming in his eyes.

Neji smirked, "Idiot, you're eyes are tearing up."

Kiba turned around and wiped his tears, "I-I'm not."

"Liar."  Sai said, casuing him to have a punch in the stomach by Kiba.

We all laughed.

"Bushy-brows is the one who's crying." Naruto laughed.

"B-Because.... WAAAAAHHHHHH!~ I'LL MISS EVERYONE! BUT MOST OF ALL! I'LL MISS GAI-SENSEI!"

As the said man's name was proclaimed, we could see him running towards Lee and the two enveloped themselves in a hug, crying and muttering words I wouldn't consider as our language.

"They haven't change." Chouji muttered.

"You've said it." Kiba said.

"They're always like that." Kankurou added, shaking his head.

All of us laughed again.

"We're finally graduated!"

I turned to my right and I saw Sakura's gang with her. Ino was the one who proclaimed.

"You've said it!" Temari added.

They were all crying, wiping their tears with their hands or handkerchief from time to time and they were all engulfed into a tight embrace.

Hinata, Hyuuga's cousin, was hugging Tenten the most.

"I can't believe it!" Tenten screamed.

I saw Sakura smile, this time, it was the one that I always see.

But I didn't seen her reading a book yet.

She had tears flowing down her cheeks, "W-We're all gonna be grown ups."

"I-I'm gonna miss you guys!!" Hinata screamed, as her tears were flowing more now.

The girls laughed and hugged again, sniffing between their cries and saying they're gonna miss everyone too.

I felt a tap in my shoulder as I turned back to my gang, their faces were all happy and their lips fromed into a wide grin. Far away, I saw Kakashi and a bunch of our professors with our families.

I smiled. Yep, I'm gonna miss this people.

*

After all the get together, we all moved out of the Auditorium and we're all getting ready for the graduation ball.

My family and Sakura's family are gonna go together. My parents prepared a van for all of us, but before we all go inside the van, our moms stopped us and ordered us to take a picture together: Me and Sakura, with our togas on.

I agreed, nonetheless, because if I don't, they will still force me to.

Sakura was hesitant at first, but she gave up.

We were now in front of the camera, but our moms told us to get closer. We both inched a step and they still told us to get closer. We inched again but they still told us the same.

Getting impatient, I wrapped my arm around Sakura's shoulder and pulled her close to me, taking her by surprise, as I leaned to her just as the flash of the camera happened.

Our moms squeeled, our dads grinned, while my brother was laughing like it was no tomorrow.

And Sakura was blushing.

*

I was now in my tux, in my condom with my dad, Sakura's dad, and my brother, also clad in a tux while I look myself in a full-length mirror.

I feel like this isn't a graduation ball, it's like a wedding.

We both got out of the room as soon as we were all ready and we were waiting in the hall for the girl to come out.

Our moms were the first to come out with their puffy cocktail dresses. My mom at the color of red while Sakura's mom was the color of yellow. I can feel their husbands catching their breathes.

Me and Itachi both smirked.

As both women were out, I saw Sakura slowly emerging from the door.

All of us stopped while both our moms giggled.

Sakura, was clad in a strapless white gown. Her hair turned curly, with a small silver petal clip on the her right sideof her hair. The make up on her eyes was colored to a silvery white, matching her dress. Her eyelashes seemed long. The blush on her cheeks were light that could be able to see her true blush. Her lips was the smae color as her hair, but a litttle light. She wore an emerald necklace, matching her eyes as she wore white heels.

I really think this is gonna be a wedding.

We were looking at each other and it broke when our moms demanded a picture.

And we did withouth any hesitations.

*

The place the headmaster reserved for us, was breathless.

No word can describe how elegant it is.

And the buffet.... Hn.

I was seperated with my family and Sakura, despite their protests. I told them I would be sitted with my gang and they were all disappointed at me. Sakura's mood went down too.

I saw her sitted with her gang too.

"She's not in high spirits. Her smile is fake too." I heard Naruto mutter.

"Hn."

"Don't worry." We all turned to Kiba and he grinned, "she will be."

We all grinned and nodded.

The program started and there was a whole lot of special numbers. And before the dinner started, there was a video clip of all of us. Our happy moments and the activities in the school. The others went emotional again and their tears fell between their laughs. The background song was sang by all of us, and it was composed by the High Pitched Club. And in the video clip, there was a part that me and Sakura were showned. We were the candidates for the Ms. and Mr. course of our department during our 1st year college and we won the contest. Everyone cheered at us and even made a spotlight for the both of us. I only scratched my head before the spotlight disappered and the video clip continued. There were also a bunch of our friends were on the vid. Naruto and Hinata, Neji and Tenten, Shikamaru and Temari, Sai and Ino, and even Gaara, Kiba, Shino and Kankurou were present in the vid, with different girls with them. Chouji and Lee were also present too. Many were present, our professor too.

After the video clip eneded, we all cheered and the host announced us to dig in. Finally, dinner.

We all lined up in the buffet, after we took food and drinks, we went back to our table and we dig in.

Seems like we were the first ones to finish our foods with our tummies full.

I took a glance at Sakura and she was eating her desert while chatting with her friends, and her smile was fake.

I sighed and when I turned back to the gang, they were all looking at me. Then and there, I know what they are thinking.

I sighed again before turning to Gaara, "Let's do it."

They all grinned and Naruto even celebrated, "Let's do this! Dattebayo!"

I smirked before I fingered the object in my pocket.

I stood up and smiled at each of them, "Let's begin."

The all nodded and started to stand up.

Neji and Gaara went to the headmaster and I saw the headmaster grin as they approach her.

Kiba and Naruto went to the one incharge of the musics.

Shikamaru and Shino went to the person incharge of the lights.

Lee was approaching Sakura while Sai, Chouji and Kankurouare going to be the watch-outs.

I saw Shikamaru giving me a thumbs up and I smirked before I slowly raised my hand and also did a thumbs up...

Then...

Everyone screamed and gasped when the lights went off.

"KYAAA!!!! W-WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?!"

I heard a scream and then I heard ruffling happening until one spotlight was on...

..and it was directed at her... She was in the center of the dancing area, looking suprised, shocked, scared, angry, confuse and lost. Her eyes were wide and she looked around, she seems to panic.

And the plan begins..

(PLAY THE SONG ON THE SIDE!! ADCSCVIERIVNDFOMKVOJSD!!! X3)

I started to walk over to her, her back facing me.

And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from God above
For me to love
To hold and idolise

I was now on the spotlight with her and I heard gasps and murmuring from the crowd. She seem to notice my presence and when she turned around, her eyes widened with surprise.

And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near

I smirked before I held her right hand up with my left hand. I reached for her left hand to place it on my shoulder as I wrapped my left hand on her waist. All that while staring at her eyes, while her staring back at me, frozen on her spot.

And now Ive finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

I started to sway with tiny waltz. She seemed to get the idea as she followed me, still in dazed as we stared at each other.

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe

As we were getting on our motion, I started to talk, "Sorry for surprising you."

She snapped from her dazed and she started to blush before she turn to look at our feet, "Y-You... planned this..?"

I nodded, "It's the only way to make you talk to me."

You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Just like a rose

She looked up when I said it before looking away, "S-Sorry, I just can't bring myself to talk to you..."

"It's okay." I replied bluntly and she immediately looked up.

"Huh?"

And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
Theres something new
To keep our loving strong

I looked intently at her eyes, "Sakura.."

She blushed deep red and her emerald eyes glowed, "S-Sasuke-kun..?"

I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how youll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears

I breathe, "How was the book your reading?"

She seems to be taken aback by what I said before she looked down, "I-I haven't read it... in a while.."

"Well, you should." I pulled away but I still held her hand as I twirled her around.

And now Ive finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

After I twirled her, this time, I guided her hands on my shoulders and my hands were now holding her waist.

She looked surprised as I began to sway.

Then she looked away with a blush and asked, "W-Why?"

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe

My lips curled up to a smile . She hadn't seen my smile for a while and her eyes showed relief.

"You'll know something in the story, something you never expect."

You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

She looked at me, confuse, "Something I never expect?" she giggled, "Sasuke-kun, you told me that what I read are easy to predict."

I smirked, "I did," I twirled her again and when she went back to my arms, I said: "but the content is what counts."

And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose

Surprise was written on her face, "Y-You... How do you know about that?"

I smirked, "Let's just say," I swayed us both, "it's through experiences."

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe

She tilted her head in confusion. I chuckled.

"I've known you since we were little kids, Sakura."

She widened her eyes.

"I was always watching you," I looked at her eyes, "Always.."

You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

She looked down, "So you knew..."

Silence engulfed us as she leaned her head to my chest, "Why?" she was shaking, "Why... why were you acting as if you didn't know?"

"I wasn't acting." I said and that made her look up, her eyes welling up in tears. My lips made a straight line and I opened them,  "I was showing you, Sakura."

You give me strength so I stand tall...

"Eh?"

I smiled.

Within this bed of earth...

"You're the one who's dense.."

Just like a rose..

"Sakura," I pulled away from her, "Ever since we met, I knew it was you."

The song eneded. She looked at me with widened eyes. The crowd... didn't dared to speak.

I smiled at her, "I was the first to fall, not you."

She gasped, covering her mouth with both of her hands in the process and her tears broke loose.

I took a step to her, "I waited for the right time.."

Another step, "When you said you love me, I already know it, but.."

Another step, "I want to make it perfect."

I held one of her hands and I stared at her watery eyes, "I wanted you to know, that you weren't the one who's been hiding..."

She sniffed and she didn't tore our gaze.

I smiled, "Sorry for the distance I made, I was just waiting for the right moment."

She shook her head, "N-No i-it's--"

"Don't talk," I stopped her, "I made you wait. I'm sorry."

She shook her head again, I just smiled at her.

"But I won't let you wait anymore."

As I said that, I kneeled in one knee, and she, with all the people in the ball, gasped. Her tears were now flowing more and she sobbed.

"Sakura," I started and she looked at me with our eyes locked together, "Ever since we met, you're always the one I'm thinking..

You always told me stories I never believed, but you made me believe in them. And whenever I lose hope, you're always be the one to be their for me.

When I didn't understand something, you teach me to understand them.

I was a jerk, to you and to everyone, but you still stayed with me.

Then I met friends, friends who you introduced them to me," I turned to her gang: Ino, Hinata, Tenten and Temari, who gave a peace sign at me as they saw me look at them, their faces all happy, and I can see them crying with tears. I turned to my gang, Naruto, Gaara, Kankurou, Neji, Lee, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, and Sai, who were all grinning and made a thumbs sign at me. I smiled at them then turned back to her, "They were a gift, thanks to you, I met them. And our parents, and my brother."

"WOAH! GO SASU-CHAN!"

"GO GET HER! SASUKE-CHAN!"

I sweatdropped at hearing our mothers shout and some even laughed, I heard her giggle and that made me smile, "Well, you already know, I owe them a lot too."

I laughed, "Well, you change me, I know it doesn't really show that you changed me but you made me, the me who is now kneeling in front of you.

Sakura, you're my existence.

And your addiction to books," she pouted and I laughed, "who knew... that your stories and fairytales were all true. I made a note of that, you know. That's why even this," I pointed around us, "Is happening right now through your addiction to books. I learned something from them."

She's crying again, but she's smiling.

"And the book your reading right now?" I smiled, "Is what's happening now."

She widened her eyes and when she opened her mouth to speak, I reach out for my pocket and took our the object I was holding.

"Haruno Sakura," she stopped and looked at the object, tears started to form in her eyes, "I want to have a story with you... I want to have my whole life with you."

She sobbed, "M-Me too.."

I smiled, "Then..." I held up the ring with the diamond in the center, "Marry me so we can start our story together?"

Before I knew it, my back was now on the ground as she hug me tight, "I-Idiot... Our story has already started..."

I smirked, "Is that a yes?"

She nodded, "Y-Yes." she wispered and repeated it, "Yes, yes, YES! for a million times, YES!"

The crowd cheered.

My mouth kept on growing to a bigger smile, I slowly sat up with her and I held her left hand as I inserted the ring in her ring finger, "I know.."

She laughed with tears and playfully punched me in the shoulder., "You jerk."

"LET'S GIVE IT UP TO THE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE!"  Tsunade, our headmaster, shouted in the MC.

Everyone cheered more while me and Sakura laughed.

I saw her gang cheer.

I saw my gang rejoice for our plan success.

I saw my family and her family celebrate.

I even heard my brother mutter that I was first than him.... Smirk.

And I saw my future wife laughing with tears of joy.

I held her hand, she looked at me and smiled.

I pulled her by surprise and pressed my lips to hers.

I'm Uchiha Sasuke and this is the woman I want to create a story.

[xxx]

She closed the book and looked at the garden in front of her on their veranda with a smile crept upon her lips. The wind blew and it made her pink locks sway.

"You're reading that everyday..."

She turned around and smiled at the person, "Good morning, Sasuke-kun."

Said man sighed and went to her back before wrapping his arms around their 3 months year old unborn child.

"Why are you reading it over and over again?"

She smiled and leaned her head to his shoulder from behind as he placed his chin on her shoudler, "Because, it still surprises me that you were the writer, not me."

He smirked, "I told you, remember?" his arms were warm to her, "I learned them from your addiction to books."

She giggled, "But those books doesn't compare to the one you wrote," She kissed him on the cheek and leaned at him while wrapping her arms on his hands, which was wrapping around her stomach, together with their baby, "because your book is my Favorite Book of all."

He smiled at her.

"And I'll tell this to our child."

"Children." he corrected and she giggled and her voice was everything to him.

And her eyes formed tears because he only say it often:

"I love you, Sakura."

She sniffed and kissed him on the lips, "I love you too, Sasuke-kun."

He smiled, "I love you more."

Fin. :')
