Author Note: Hello everyone! I love doing one shots whenever I'm bored. I'm currently working on my main multi chapter story, Sakura's World, so you can check that out on my profile, if you'd like. If you'd rather not, I have a few more one shots that you can check out if you want to, if you prefer one shots over multi chapter stories.

Oh, and his thoughts are italicized.

Enjoy!


Forever and Always

He secretly loved her. He still does, he always did.

It was too late, now.

He knew he wasn't supposed to be there, but he always went back to visit her, every single night.

He would just stand there, staring at her.

He tried killing her once, which was something he regretted.

He regretted everything.

She always expressed her love for him, yet he never returned her feelings.

It was too late, now.

He loved everything about her. Her smile, her pink hair, her green eyes.

She was beautiful, in his eyes. An angel, to him.

No, a cherry blossom.

He couldn't believe how ridiculous he was. He missed out on the most beautiful thing ever.

It was too late, now.

Why didn't he ever return her feelings? He didn't know why. Actually, he did. He was power hungry and obsessed with killing his own brother.

He didn't have time for anything else.

He locked all of his emotions away, except for hate and sadness. The other emotions he had were lost, deep down inside of his body. Hate and sadness were the key to his power.

Will he ever release the rest of his emotions?

No. He wouldn't, ever.

He successfully terminated his brother, but he forgot one part.

The aftermath.

He never thought of what he would do after.

He had an idea of what he wanted to do.

He wanted to rebuild his clan, with her.

It was too late, now.

Now, he's just a wanderer. He travels from village to village, for no particular reason.

He doesn't have anything left in life, except for himself.

He had nothing to live for.

It couldn't be helped.

He somewhat wished he could take everything back. He wished he never left, he wished he had remained in his homeland.

He wished he still had her.

It was too late, now.

He sighed. He knew he would never, ever, love again.

He didn't even know he loved her.

He took one last stare at her. He took out a large cherry blossom flower from his pocket. It was beautiful, and elegant, just like her.

He kissed the flower lightly, and gently laid it on her.

There wasn't anything he could do.

"I love you. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner..." he muttered to himself.

"I should get out of here before someone notices…On to the next village, I guess."

He started walking towards village gates. He didn't look back at her.

"Forever and always, Sakura."

"Forever and always."
