I Promise You

"Sakura…I swear, I'll bring him back." His voice rattled in her brain, as all she could see was his face. That childish look. That goofy smile. Sakura laid in bed, her right arm resting on her forehead as she dazedly looked up at the ceiling. Her soft green eyes were irritated and slowly loosing focus. But his voice just wouldn't let her be, it echoed—as if he had shouted those words into a canyon—through her mind and haunted her for days, and even years. The only thing she knew was that she had to become stronger. When Naruto and everyone returned injured and alone, her heart truly broke a bit more—anymore pressure and it may have shattered. "Sasuke."

Almost three years have passed, and the young and weak Sakura has matured into a surprisingly strong and beautiful…deadly weapon. Her training with Lady Tsunade, made sure of that—but still, Sakura's mind wanders to the teammates that she longs to see once again. Walking through the village, she wonders to herself as she carries a bag of groceries and herbs.

Am I strong enough? How much stronger have you gotten, Naruto? Stopping dead in her tracks, she continues on. Sasuke. She looks up, with pain in her lonesome eyes, to the bright and clear blue sky. A laughter breaks out, as if his voice was echoing throughout her mind, once again. Sakura remains in her dazed position, only moving her eyes to the left. The sight that she sees, makes those sorrowful green eyes jump with enthusiasm as she sees the man who once was a complete and utter idiot.

"Naruto," she whispers to herself. Naruto stood there, his arms behind his head. His face…as goofy as ever, and that smile…that wide and cheerful smile that always could make Sakura laugh, or annoyed. And before the tall Naruto was Konohamaru, the little brat that always followed him around and called him boss. The two of them were just talking and laughing as if nothing ever changed, this truly was Naruto. This made Sakura smile in joy and comfort.

"Naruto! You've returned, huh."

"Sakura…" Naruto smiled and spoke again, "You sure haven't changed at all." And there it was, the undeniable hatred for Naruto sprouted once again. Quickly and sharp, Sakura threw her fist into her teammate's face, spiraling him back and through a fence. Naruto hadn't a clue what just happened, but I guess that's what made him smile. For when he stood up, blood trickling down from his now broken nose, he just chuckled and said, "You've sure gotten stronger." Sakura was walking away, with a little smirk across her face.

Good, you haven't changed…Na-ru-to.
