A/N: I've been here for quite a while, and I've posted some stories. Unfortunately, they were never finished, as I sort-of forgot my username. So there, I'm not that new. (: Reviews keep me writing!
Summary: It's been two years since Uchiha Sasuke left Konohagakure for his revenge and Haruno Sakura has finally gotten over him…or so she'd like to think. But, once again, she has to fall for /him/.
-x-
Two years.
It's actually been two years.
Two years, since Haruno Sakura had last saw Uchiha Sasuke.
Two years, since she had been left on a cold stone bench by him.
Two years, since she actually was able to force a smile upon her lips.
Two years, since she was able to get her life back together.
Two years, since she was able to ask her self why the hell she stays by him, when she gave him her heart, and he pushed it away...

Thud...thud...thud...
The blonde haired male watched the girl beside him, blue eyes filled with gratitude as he noted how she sliced the apple into pieces small enough for his wounded self to chew on, his whole body aching from the pressure of bandage on skin. The female's shoulder-length pink hair framed her elfin face, jade green eyes sparkling with accomplishment as she prodded a piece with a skewer, holding it out to her friend with a happy smile on her pretty face.
"There you go, Naruto!" She handed the skewer to him, and he snatched it from her greedily, stuffing it into his mouth, which made her laugh. "You're such a greedy pig, Naruto." She teased, smiling brightly. "I can't help it if I've been living on hospital food, Sakura-chan."
He made a face at the mention of the food, and she laughed, knowing what Naruto meant. She'd been injured countless of times in Tsunade-sama's classes, and she'd had to come to the hospital to try her abilities on real humans instead of animals. It was tough, no doubt, but it had been worth it to see that her efforts were rewarded.
"Sakura-chan..."
"Hai, Naruto?"
"What would you do if Teme died?"
It was just a simple question, innocent enough to most people, but it made Sakura freeze in her seat. She glanced up at Naruto, who looked at her questioningly.
Teme and Dobe, they used to call each other in arguments, she remembered clearly in her mind. All the fighting, all the showing off, all the tears when they'd tried to search for him without avail...
"...I don't know, Naruto. I really don't..."
Naruto watched her face fall, tears clouding up in her eyes once more. "Geeze, how many of those things do you have in there?" he said, trying to cheer her up with his optimism before she broke down into real tears, and all he got was a weak, tired smile in response.
"I really should start forgetting that he was part of my life, ne, Naruto?"

A/N: I know that was supremely short and lousy. –Epic fail-
The next chapter will get better, I promise! (:
Like I said, reviews keep me writing, so you know what to do, don't you?
Good! Now start reviewing. [:
