This means Sakura thinks
This means Inner Sakura says
"He isn't coming back, is he?" Sakura asked. The pink haired Kunoichi has been coming to sit on the bench Sasuke had left her at everyday, at the same time, ever since he had left. She had been hoping today would be the day of his return.
"No, he probably won't." Ino replied, very unimpressed by their usual conversation of the hopeless love. "He probably won't ever return. I mean come on, he might already have moved on with his life and achieved his goals, got married to some hot ex-movie star, settled down in some condo near the ocean and is living the good life. I mean, he is THE SASUKE after all. And besides, you sent NARUTO after him. Knowing Naruto, he's probably sick in some alleyway from eating to much ramen."
"Wow, Ino, thanks a lot for beating me with the reality stick." Needless to say Sakura was hurt by her companion's heartless comment. Ino had used his name and the way she had used it hurt Sakura a lot.
"No problem! that's what I'm here for."
Ino you are so cruel Sakura thinks as she fidgets with a scarf Naruto had given her.
Sakura begins to wonder if Ino was being sarcastic or just being cruel. They have been friends for ages and it had seemed to Sakura that Ino has became harder to read thoughout the years.
"Hey, Ino? Do you think Sasuke ever thinks of me? Or about his old life here in Konoha?"
"No, he doesn't. He must have better things to do than sit around being nostalgic all the time. If he wanted to do that, he could have just stayed here."
"Ino do you really have to be so negative all the time?"
"When its about you and Sasuke together, Yes!"
What's wrong with me and Sasuke? She thinks to herself only to have regretted the thought. She no one knew in the village accepted or enjoyed the thought of Sasuke and her as an item and even though he isn't in the village any more Sasuke was the one most against it.
"Ino, its getting late, I'm heading home"
"Okay Sakura. But…umm…One last thing."
"Yes, Ino?" Great. What does she want now?
"About Sasuke and Naruto….Um…don't get your hopes up too high. Okay? I'm kind of worried about you. You haven't been the same since they left." It was true. Sakura had changed a little since her two teammates left. She had grown her hair out again and rejected the coolest boys in Konoha for her hopeless love. She even stated saying that she thinks Naruto will be a great Hokage.
"I'm okay Ino and I'll try not to be so melancholy." Ino isn't actually as bad as she's acting. Even though she seems cruel or heartless she has stuck by Sakura from thick to thin and even sits with Sakura everyday on the same bench. Hoping to help Sakura who was waiting for Sasuke and Naruto's well anticipated return.
After an awkward silence Sakura gets up to head home.
"Sakura wait!"
"Yes Ino?"
"What does melancholy mean?" Ino was probably the smartest girl in the academy when the two went together. By the tone of her voice it was quite obvious that some thing else was bothering her. She actually wanted to ask Sakura if she had anything on her mind.
"Sad, Gloom, Depressed. Things like that" Sakura answers. Completely unaware of the true meaning of the question.
"Oh… Okay… see you later then. Be safe."
"You too"
Now heading home, Sakura starts to stars gaze. The stars are out tonight, they're sort of pretty. Sakura takes a deep breath of the cool night air as slight nostalgia sets in.
I remember on one of our missions Sasuke and Naruto tried to out count each other. It was all going so well until Kakashi-Sensei became tired of Naruto trying to count louder than Sasuke. I, trying to impress Sasuke, told Naruto the rule of Shinobi conduct states that ninja, while in enemy territory, must remain as a fleeting shadow, without sound or evidence of their presence. But really I didn't want them to stop counting, I actually was just jealous Sasuke liked Naruto more and I wanted to be able to count out loud with them too. After they fell asleep I continued to count the stars. I wish we could count together now.
Sakura starts looking off into the night sky a star was falling. I have to make a wish! She thinks. In a sing-song voice she says-
"Twinkle fairy of the star,
Though my wish must travel far,
I hope it finds you where you are!"
"I wish Sasuke, Naruto and I had a lot more in common,
So I can understand their pain.
Somehow maybe with a little magic
Can You make us nearly the same?"
She starts thinking quietly to herself. Wow…I can't believe I still have faith in magic. I must be going crazy…Nah…
"Your wish is my wine,
On your heart I shall dine,
From this moment time,
Your life is a toy of mine!"
Sakura you've really done it now! Sakura's inner yells.
Done what? Inner me? Help! She thinks in a pathetic voice.
Shhh outer Sakura I have a bad feeling about this but I also have a good suggestion.
What? RUN!
Good idea, run around Konoha like a crazed maniac, that'll show 'em. Even though she was arguing she did as was suggested and ran.
"Doll, Slow down. How do you expect me to grant your wish if you keep running?" The voice is so soft that it's almost like the wind blowing faintly in the trees.
That voice is kind of nice. She thinks. Don't you mean CREEPY!?
I have to see who just spoke! She turns her head and as soon as she does she run full force in to a tree she was supposed to jump to. Ouch! WHATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! Baka!
Though she didn't see much she did see a woman with fox ears and six tails. Now I know for a fact that I am crazy. There is no denying it any longer. I have longed for Naruto and Sasuke to come back for far too long. She think, which actually doesn't have much to do with her current situation.
"Awe, poor little kit~" The fox lady cooed.
Is she cooing to me? She can talk?
"You smell of the Prince." The fox continued.
What is this lady talking about? Wow a prince! Wait, I smell like a guy?
"So I shall grant you your wish."
By now Sakura feels really unsure of what is actually going on. Then the fox lady uses one of her many tails and wraps it around Sakura. Using it's magic to do slowly slips in to a deep sleep.
