Yes, Naruto, Everyone knew!

10. The Date! ( Part 3 ) Epilogue

Several hours later, Sakura was still on a warpath though the village searching for the pair.

All the others had long since returned home.

"You aren't going to find them, Sakura," said Sasuke as he calmly followed behind her.

"And how would you know that?" she inquired with a snap.

"Because I know where they went," he finally revealed in a huff to Sakura's back.

The pink-haired woman paused for a moment and then whipped her head around to glare at Sasuke.

"Well why didn't you tell me earlier?" she irritatedly asked, "Come on! Let's get going!"

Sakura motioned for Sasuke to take the lead, but the last Uchiha simply remained where he stood.

"No," he stated coldly.

"What do you mean 'no?'" questioned Sakura as she angrily placed her hands onto her hips.

"They left because they want to be alone," explained Sasuke calmly. "And as their friend you should respect their wishes."

Sakura just snorted at his answer and waved him off saying, "Yeah, whatever."

Sasuke simply glared at her and asked, "What is wrong with you?"

Sakura placed her right hand over her heart in shock.

"With, me?" she questioned back.

"Yes, you," Sasuke insisted. "You're obsessed with their relationship."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Sakura inquired to Sasuke with wide eyes.

Sasuke simply glared back at her. He wasn't going to play this game.

"I-" said the pink-haired woman as she took a step back in surprise, "I'm not. I just want them to be happy."

"Again, why?" asked Sasuke clearly determined to find the answer.

It was then that Sakura finally snapped, "Because one of us deserves to be, damn it!"

The medical kunoichi quickly slapped a hand over her mouth the second she said it.

"I... see," answered Sasuke as he took in this information.

After a few moments of silence, Sakura removed her hand with a sigh, "I just- want them to be happy. The two of them together is just so right. They were pretty much made for each other. Naruto's very special to me, he's like the brother I never had... and Hinata is the most amazing person I know. If anyone deserves to find love, it's those two. "

The pair stood there for a while, staring at one another.

Until Sasuke surprisingly said, "You... have a very big heart."

Sakura's stunned green eyes went wide as she stammered out, "E-Excuse me?"

"But Naruto and Hinata aren't the only ones who deserve to find happiness, Sakura," stated Sasuke, his eyes remaining completely focused on her.

"W-What are you-"

"You could have had any other man," said Sasuke in his logical tone. "I'm sure you've had many offers over the years-"

"Sasuke-"

"So why?" demanded the last Uchiha, his voice becoming a bit rough as he slowly approached Sakura's unmoving form, "Out of all those men, why me?"

Sakura could barely will herself to breathe as she gathered enough strength to whisper, "Because... I love you. No one else. There will never be anyone else. I love you, only you. From now, until the day I die."
