I really liked this a lot and that line that Sakura says in the end, "...but I won't be your wife. I'll just be yours" is sooooo romantic! I love it!

haha that was really cute!

and people love sap!

nicely written. thank you.

wah! I loved that :) arrigato for sharing!

Aw, thats cute how he "only has eyes for her" xD

beautiful.

beautiful.

I really loved it- I was crying so much as I read the story/

I really liked how you made it so that the original conversation btw Sakura and Sasuke was a flashback, of Sakura looking back at it-

I think that added to her remorse/regret.

Great one-shot-

keep up the wonderful writing.

Perfect! I'm so enthralled with the way this went. I'm beyond happy that there wasn't a weeping Sakura at the end.

The fact that they're both on the same page now makes it less a happy ending and more of a new beginning, as equals.

Amazing that the avenger took some time to learn a new skill, of caring for the living and the future. And, happily, Sakura taught him the need for it by respecting herself.

If only all stories were so thoughtful and balanced. :)

*heimlichs*

Wonderful story-I really liked the angsty beginning, even as I was wishing for a happy ending. I'm such a sap like that. And speaking of ending, I am in love with the ending. I love SasuSaku, and while I really like those fluffy fluffy ones, I like your subtly sweet and perfect ending to this one, too.

Another beautiful piece of writing; you amaze me with your skillz!

kyah i love how sasuke realized his mistake.. i've actually read this one a long time ago, i just reviewed now..

i give clicky life! yenno ...theres this song i was listning that u might wat to hear it totally ...mabe kinda fit with the story called the story by Brandi Carlile this story was a little angsty but i felt the need for angst today

I don't think it was bad; you need to give yourself more credit with stories like this! :D

Ack. What have you DONE?

xD Actually, this wasn't bad. Not at all. Your angst was absolutely wonderful, but there are places here and there would I would word things rather differently. I don't know if it's personal preference, or not xD.

I found Sakura very in character, though Sasuke...OOC. Although, I guess, that's somewhat expected, right?

The storyline would've been just PERFECT if Sakura rejected him in the end. I mean, what's the point of angst if it has a happy ending? I thought it would've meant much more if it ended that way. However, this was your story, and your wording here was rather nice. So good job. (:

Yes, it was sappy, but for the minutes I was reading this, I forgot where I was. And I don't have amnesia. I felt so completely drawn in, like I was Sakura herself. It was so darn sad. *sniffle*

Oh! And this sentence I liked very much:

"But she can feel a heavy, penetrating gaze on the back of her head, running through her hair like a lover’s fingers." Genius, right there. That was absolutely gorgeous.

And when he said he didn't want a wife; he wanted her. Very very very very very good! I enjoyed it a lot!

.sunflowers.

Very good concept and points! I love a strong Sakura, don't you? It truly takes a powerful person to walk away from what they want most.

Wow this was angsty and I thought it was going to end on angst but I'm so glad it didn't! You wrote Sakura very well and I liked why she didn't say yes to Sasuke's offer and how Sasuke realises what she was trying to say in the end. Great oneshot!
