Sakura can't help but see the good in people.

She sees Naruto and can't help but notice that he'd make a good leader, with his belief managing to pull people together.

She sees Rock Lee and can't help but notice that he'd fight until the end for those he loves. A kind soul, really.

And she sees Sasuke and can't help but notice that inside, he's lost, a little boy forced to grow up too quickly.

Ten years have passed since he left.

She still hopes that he'll come back.

It's naïve, really, but she doesn't do anything about it.

Because Sakura can't help but see the good in people.


A quick little drabble I threw down on the subway, really. (Exactly 109 words! XD) I feel it could be longer, but since I did this for fun, I'm not particularly complaining. Yes, I have gone against all the rules of BL fangirls and written something that could nearly be a SasuSaku, but that's okay with me, I suppose.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated.
