Chapter One

He had always watched
her.� It was a habit he picked up from
years of wanting her.�� But this time, this
was different.� He watched her run away
from the dining hall in tears.�

Haruno Sakura always threw
herself at Uchiha Sasuke, with disastrous results.� He remembered when his team seven was so
young, and how Sakura would dote on the raven-haired boy.� Having the avenged heart; Sasuke was unmoved
by her open display of affection.� It
became heart wrenching even for a man like Hatake Kakashi to see Sasuke shatter
her efforts time and time again.� But she
never gave up.�

And tonight, at the
celebration of Seijin no hi (coming of age) Sasuke finalized any attempts that
Sakura would have in ever bothering him again.�
As she ran away, she replayed the final conversation that she would ever
hold again with the love of her life�

.:: FLASHBACK ::.

�Sakura�I know you have some
feelings for me,� Sasuke began rather abruptly to silence her constant ramble
about how good he looked. �But I must tell you that I have already made plans
with my future.�

Sakura�s heart leapt into
her throat.� Ringing her hands nervously,
she inquired, �W-what do you mean Sasuke-kun? Plans for us?�

As Sasuke eyes faltered from
her gaze, he cleared his throat sharply.�
When his eyes snapped back to her direction, Sakura instantly saw the staid
and bitter look in his eyes.� �My plans
do not include you.� It never has.� Even if I was attracted to you, it wouldn�t
matter. My family�s name must carry on, and I require a strong woman to be on
my side.�

Sakura took a few moments to
let his words sink in, not sure where the conversation was heading.� She took a controlling deep breath, trying
her best to keep her tears at bay as she began to respond.� ��I know I am not very strong now Sasuke-kun,
but Tsunade-sama is now teaching me-�

�You�re not even fit to be
my wife,� Sasuke cut in harshly, giving her a disgusted look as he eyed her up
and down coldly.� �The type of strength I
speak of is not one of ability, but of prestige.� You lack it.�
You�re foolish and loud, and you have no proper manners or etiquette.� Nothing you can say Sakura�� Sasuke stepped
closer to her in an intimidating matter, making her in turn step backwards in
defense.� ��nothing can make me want you.�
Why don�t you go take Naruto as your lover, he pined for you once.��

It felt like someone had
kicked her square in the chest.� Her
shoulders slumped, her face blanched with mortification.� How could he be saying this to her� the man
she loved?� She brought a clenched fist
up to her mouth, in a steady attempt to stifle her whimper.� Hot tears were already running down her face
as she shook her head in denial of Sasuke�s confession.�

Sasuke shook his head, a cruel
smirk forming on his lips. �And there�s the tears, right on cue,� he hissed in
disgust.� �It�s annoying how incredibly
predictable you are, Sakura.�

�How could you just say this
to me� so plainly and full of malice?� Sakura gasped as she wiped her
face.� She felt the bile rise in the back
of her throat as the nausea swept her.�

He gave her an even colder
glare as she gravely retorted, �Because it is something that needs to be said,�
Sasuke replied dryly as he looked away from her.� �It�s the reality of the situation� and I
want to sever all ties of this nonsense before I�m married next month.�

Sakura�s limbs trembled and
her stomach lurched with when he mentioned marriage.� She looked at Sasuke, searching his face, his
eyes for any sign of compassion.� There
was none.� He was being as brutally honest
as he could possibly be right now; and his intentions were known.� They had always been known, but Sakura chose
to ignore it.� Like he said, the reality
of the situation was his total disinterest in her.� He was moving on with his life, and his only
advice to her was to do the same.�

Sakura ran off, not wanting
to hear any more.� She pushed through the
crowd of gathers, feeling like she couldn�t breathe.� It was hard for her to run in her kimono, so
she picked up the gowns� end as much as she could as she escaped.�

.:: END FLASHBACK ::.

This was when Kakashi
noticed her exiting the dining hall.� He
saw the bitter anguish on her face, and knew in an instant what had
transpired.� Kakashi knew Sakura�s
pain.� To love someone for so long� to
hope that one day they would finally stop ignoring you only be given the truth
that they just didn�t want you at all.�
It was hard to bear.� He followed
behind her from a discreet distance, leaping gracefully on the rooftops of the
buildings, keeping her in full view as he went.�

She finally stopped at the
bridge team seven would meet everyday.�
It was ironic for her to stop here; the years had gone by so fast and
now she had nothing but this bridge to remind her of what could have been.� Kakashi landed silently on a rooftop nearby;
wondering what she would do next.� He knew
she was in a volatile state; so it was best to keep an eye on her.�

She rested her head on the
bridge railing, sobbing loudly.� He heard
her call out Sasuke�s name between choked sobs, and Kakashi�s heart broke.�� It enraged him that Sasuke had to end it the
way he did; he could have handled it better.�
He wished he could have spoken to the boy about the matter, and ask him
to let her down gently.� But who was he
to meddle into people affairs?

A half hour had passed, and
her tears had subsided.� She seemed to
stare at her reflection in the lake, her body swaying slightly as the warm
night wind blew.� Kakashi sighed with
relief.� Maybe she was coming to terms
with her loss.� Finally getting out of
his crouching position, Kakashi stretched his legs out in front of him as he reached
around to grab his Come Come Paradise
out of his bag.� He froze when he saw
Sakura�s sudden movements� she stepped one foot on the bridge railing.

Kakashi�s heart raced with
alarm.� Was she about to throw herself
off the bridge?� There was no time to
wait for the answer; he had to act, and fast.�
Before he could register what he was doing, he was making his way down
towards her, just as she stepped her other foot on the bridge railing��
