Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto just the plot to my story
A gentle breeze brushed her carnation locks. Feet dangling off the side of the cliff, swaying with the wind's gentle song.
Everyone thought she was strong enough to resist it. The sweet release death provided her from the heartache she felt. She could finally see him again... Those pearly white eyes shaded in silver that she adored so much.
Neji.
Every night since the end of the war she'd wake in a cold sweat. His death replayed in her dreams like a broken record wanting to be fixed. She didnt get to him in time. She should have been there. She should have healed him. She could have healed him. He would still be alive now.
Safe and Warm, tucked in her bed.
After his death, it felt like everything in her world was falling apart. Starting with her failed marriage. She married Sasuke like everyone expected her to...
Like Naruto expected her to.
No one knew that she had moved on from the Uchiha, except Tenten. And no one had ever learnt of her relationship with the Hyuuga prodigy except the weapon mistress. Ever since then Tenten had held a high respect the pinkette being able to completely capture and enrapture the Hyuuga with her very presence. So when she learned of her marriage to Sasuke, to say the brunette was disappointed in her was an understatement.
"You're disrespecting his memory, you know. By marrying that damned Uchiha." She said
"Neji would want me to be happy Tenten-san. He wouldn't want me grieving and not taking care of myself, it would break his heart."
"But ask yourself Sakura... are you truly happy with your life? With the Uchiha?"
"I'm trying to be..."
"Trying doesnt mean you are Sakura... Do whatever makes you happy... Not what people expects would make you happy... He would be more heartbroken if he knew you'd let society dictate your life, what they expect of you, instead of following your own rules Sakura." Shoulders sagged, Tenten's words weighed heavily on her mind. In a way she's right. He wouldn't want this for her.
Smile.
"Always smile. You look gorgeous when you smile" He commented off handily like he was discussing the weather.
Scarlet.
"Your cheeks always seem to turn a pretty shade of scarlet when I so much as look at you." He teased twirling a lock of cotton candy around his finger.
Temper
"Byakugan!" Wham! A tree flew past in him.
"Stop chucking trees at me! I said I was sorry!" Another one.
"You had no right to steal my last stick of dango you Bastard!" Two trees.
"God dammit stand still and just let the damn tree hit you."
"Dango obsessed demon with an insane temper." He muttered under his breath.
"What did you say!" She roared. He swore he saw her eyes turn red for a second.
I love you Neji... I cant wait to see you again my love...
