"Don't be stupid."

And she wasn't stupid.

"You're so annoying."

She tried to be nice – and it was hard, with Naruto being an idiot and all.

"Sakura."

She strained to hear him. What were those things… those frequencies… that he left behind?

"Hn."

What did they mean?

"Don't be stupid."

"Don't you dare."

She poured over books.

"You're so annoying."

"Stop following me."

She tried so hard to find the meaning. What was it…

"Sakura."

"I need you to stop."

…that he was trying to say?

"Sasuke-kun!"

She memorized every code.

"P-Please…"

She strained to hear him.

What…

What…?

What?

"Thank you."

And yet, she failed.

"Thank you."

She crashed.

When Sakura woke up, the bench was very, very cold.
