Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Sasuke x Sakura
Rating: K
Warning: Angst. Speculation.
Summary: He'll always be just out of reach. She tries anyway.
She flies at him, pink hair and fury and brute strength in her clenched fists, and he blocks her easily, a mocking expression in his flat obsidian eyes.
After all this time, she still cannot touch him; but as always Sakura is nothing if not persistent.
So the process is repeated, and their shadows projected on the dusty ground dance to the tune of embrace and tear apart, embrace and tear apart.
She pauses briefly to catch her wasted breath, and he halts as well, gaze calculating as her eyelids flutter closed and the images come unbidden to her mind.
She lifts her lids to block out the thoughts of what couldshouldwould have been, and the dance begins again.
