Photographic Memories, Chapter 1: Sakura Haruno
The beautiful Sakura trees are in full bloom this time of year, a time that reminds her of that boy.
So many years ago they'd parted ways and no matter how hard she tried to forget him the blooming of the cherry blossoms
tightened her grip on reality, his memory.
Every time she passed the cherries, hanging gingerly from the trees she was reminded of him, and his hair red as blood.
His hair smelled of cinnamon, spicy and wild.Every time she even glanced at a cherry tree the emerald leaves reminded her of his
eyes, those cold, desolate eyes, holding all his emotions, loneliness, sadness, and hate...
She hated him for leaving her, but when the cherry trees bloomed she would cry herself to sleep and fondly hope he would come
back to her this time. When his mother died, on his sixth birthday he promised her he'd come back when the cherry trees
bloomed, and soon after he left to go live with his uncle in Suna. He's visited two times since then, the 1st time was to bring a
message from his father, the Kazekage, to the Hokage, and the second was for the chunnin exams, where he nearly killed her.
'He was just too busy trying to become a chunnin that he didn't recognize me' she always told herself. "Well you promised…" she
whispered to no one but herself, after ten long years she thought he'd come back sooner or later "you promised…"
A/N: So, chapter 1… ish, this is Sakura's intro so it wasn't expected to be long, but don't worry, I wrote this story out on paper, so there should be more out soon, oh yeah, almost forgot, I may throw some non-Naruto characters in there, so don't be confused if I do, but I don't think I will…
