What could have been

3.What happend?

That should be it? The best day of my life?

Yesterday, Sasuke brought me afterwards to my parents home, where I  still lived. They were amazed to find that finally someone would want to marry their daughter. Yay. As if I was that hopeless, SHANNARO. But he did not stay overnight nor did he kiss me again. He did not even look into my eyes as he announced, that he will fix the preparations for tomorrow. That was it. He was gone. 

I could not sleep well that night, the excitement coursing through my vains. Maybe it was not the wedding of my dreams, but I would marry tomorrow the man of my dreams. That was the important thing, right? I was going to be an Uchiha and would finally move out from my parents to the old Uchiha district, where I belonged. Hopefully. At least he wanted me to move there. As long as he will come back, there was almost nothing that could break my happiness right now. 

Insomnia troubling me, I decided to start my packing and lost track of time, when I heard the knock on my door. Was it already morning? Looking at the clock, I confirmed my suspicions. I had to get ready. 

''Come in!'' I said, secretly hoping it was Sasuke. I would have loved to spend the few hours with him, while he was still there. 

But to my dismay it was my best friend, Ino.

''Oh hai, Ino pig'' I said grumpily. She saw the dissapointment on my face and laughed. 

''Oh come on, the way you look right now, you really should be happy, that your fiance is not seeing you!' she teased as always. But she was right, like I said, I could not sleep. But also not in the mood for talking.

''So, these bags under you eyes, have you and Sasuke did THAT before marriage? I did not think that of you, lady Sakura'', she still teased, not seeing tears that formed in my eyes.

''No, we did not. And will not do afterwards, because he is leaving.'', I screamed at her, losing all control on my temper. Her eyes immediatly widend.

''Sorry, I didn't thought..'' she started but I just waved with my hand, for her to stop.

Then, she started doing my make up and hair in silence.

Sasuke's POV

''Naruto, thank you. I... I would not even think to come back, and then it would have been too late", it was not often, that I thanked the people around me, but Naruto did derserve it this time. 

He knew me better, then I know myself. While I was fulfiling my mission for Kakashi, he wrote me a letter that made me come back to Konoha on the spot.

''Hi Teme,

what's up? How's your mission going? I know, I know, you would never tell me for it is a secret... Anyway, I wanted to make you aware, that your time is running out. I know exactly you know what I mean. But I will tell you anyway.

I am really concerned about Sakura. You know, she still loves you like hell, you asshole. But the waiting is just destoying her. I know, you care for her more then you want to admit, but it's time to grow up. If not now, it will be too late.
