I wasn't strong enough

Chapter 1

~Sakura's P.O.V~
"Naruto!" I shouted, hoping to find my lovable boyfriend of 5 years. "I got it!He's at Ichiraku!" Jogging to the ramen stand I saw Naruto siting on one of the empty bar stools. "Heya sakura!" The blonde says after leaning in and placing his lips on mine. "So I heard that lady tsunade has a mission for us?" "Yup! We have to deliver a scroll to the land of the sand.

Sasuke then waltzed up to us almost like magic. "Sakura, dobe." "You wanna go Teme! I'll kick your ass all the way to the next village! Believe it!" Sensing an approaching fight, I step in between my two larger team mates. " Knock it off you two, we have a mission later so make sure you both pack and are ready to go tonight" I huffed quietly, crossing my arms. Sasuke looked over at me, staring for a few seconds making my face flush slightly. "Hnn." He stated finally looking away.

"Well, I guess I'll see you two at the village gates tonight ok?" "Wait Sakura! I'd like to walk you back home!" Giving Naruto the biggest smile, I gladly agreed. I walked towards Sasuke and said my goodbyes to him, before walking off with Naruto.

~Sasuke's P.O.V~
I silently watched Sakura who interlaced her fingers with Naruto before they disappeared from my view. My chest tightened at the sight. "The dope better not screw up his proposal tonight." I chuckled bitterly at the statement, slowly standing up, making my way back to my apartment to pack my things.
