Sixteen-year-old Haruno Sakura sat in front of two graves. On them were the names Haruno Kael and Haruno Naomi, her parents. Sakura stared at the graves, anger boiling inside of her.

She promised, she thought, she promised that she would come back!

Unbeknownst to her, a certain Uchiha had followed her (Suki- stalker! (I just totally ruined the moment! cool!!)).

" Why are you angry?" she jumped at the sound of his voice. She looked at him in confusion, and then turned back to the graves in anger.

" She promised! She promised she would come back!" Sasuke raise an eyebrow.

" Sakura…" she looked up at the mention of her name. " No shinobi can promise that they will come back… no shinobi knows what lies ahead, whether they will die, or be scarred for the rest of their lives." He sat down beside her." I know that you would do the same if the person in danger was me or Naruto or anyone for that matter, but you have to deal with it."

" This coming from the man who has been wanting revenge on his brother, who killed his clan, for nearly a decade!" she shot back, he winced.

" Liste-"

" LISTEN? LISTEN? WELL I'VE BEEN LISTENING! AND ITS NOT HELPING!" Sakura was now on her feet screaming at him, " IT'S HARD TO WHEN A PERSON MADE A PROMISE THAT THEY COULDN'T KEEP!" She punched a nearby tree leaving a big dent in it, and torn skin on her right knuckle. Then she collapsed, sobbing.

Sasuke stood, uncertain of what to do. Then knelt down and embraced the kunoichi. He knew that she had killed before, but no one close to her had been killed. He knew the pain. His entire clan had been slaughtered. Her sobs suddenly became quiet, and she hiccupped a few times.

" Stupid…" Sasuke looked at her.

" Stupid." She repeated. " I feel so stupid."

" It's okay to cry…" he said quietly. " It's good to cry. My mother used to tell me that. She said that crying meant that you weren't afraid to show your sadness. She said showing emotions meant you were strong. I never believed her though."

More tears began to fall down her porcelain cheeks. " Do you mind if I cry?"

" No… But tears look bad on you."


Just a little oneshot that I've had hanging around. Hope you enjoyed it!!
