Back when they were still genin, she remembered having an embarrasing fangirl crush (read: obsession) on her dark haired teammate, Sasuke Uchiha. Years later she was guilty, embarresed and ashamed with herself for loving him when he 1) obviously didn't love her back. 2) Only loved him for his looks.
She always did berate herself for still loving the guy who tried killing her on multiple occasions, ignored her and insulted her many times.
So after many years, when she finally thought she got over him, he decides to fucking return to the village after finishing his revenge. Sakura wanted fo beat his little arrogant ass, heal him, then breakdown and ask why?
Why return when she was finally over him?
Why return after everything he's done?
Naruto apparently dragged him back to the village against his will when he found him after fighting his brother. He was in house arrest for a while and had chakra-restraints on him until the village figured out what to do with the dojutsu user.
He was realeased with a eight month house arrest, him being the last Uchiha and all. He wasn't allowed to use his sharingan or any jutsu actually until his eight months was over and always had a four-man team of anbu trailing after him. The black haired male was living in an apartment for the time being.
The day after Sasuke returned to Konoha, Naruto proposed on having a team dinner with all of the rookie nine to celebrate Sasuke's return when she was leaving the Hospital.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but I think I won't come." Sakura declined.
The blonde pouted before speaking again. "Oh c'mon, Sakura-chan, you never really leave the hospital anymore. Your practically living there!"
A moment passed before a look of understanding washed over his face. "It's about him isn't it?" He asked. The pinkette nods her head while keeping green eyes trained on the cement pavement. During their time together as teamates, Sakura began getting closer to Naruto. The two formed a close brother-sister relationship.
"I honestly don't feel like I'm ready to face him after everything." She said silently. Naruto placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and gave a kind smile.
"Ya don't have to come if you want, Sakura-chan." He said before the two began walking together to her apartment.
It was a month after Sasuke's return and Sakura avoided him like the plauge. She felt uncomfortable whenever she was in his prescence. Her palms would sweat and her heart would race and it all worried her. She soon confided her worries to Tsunade. The older blonde merely looked at her and began laughing. She stopped when she saw Sakura's confused expression.
"Your in love, Sakura. Now mind telling me, whose the lucky guy?" She asked a slight smirk on her face.
A large blush dusted her cheeks. Her? in love? Impossible! She can't... Can she? Especially on Sasuke!
"I need some time to think." She said before excusing herself.
She fled to the park to clear her mind about everything. After years of trying to move past the heart ache, all the pain, she burried all her past emotions regarding her teammate. Yet, she still loves him even after all this time.
So the remainder of the day, Sakura just sat in the local park and thought what her next move would be.
