She really was a mystery, you know.
One day she'd be everywhere you look and then the next gone without a trace like a thousand year old dust that had no where to go but went somewhere.
Haruno Sakura used to be easy to read always so emotional and always spoke her mind, but of course thought through them first.
But one day she sought out more knowledge then could be provided and stumbled upon books and books where people say she not only read memories of pain and sorrow, but lived through them as well.
She became a legend of some sort as you can say but more like a ghost story the way small kids would talk about it.
She would always show up in mid fall and come back early winter just to come randomly again, but she never seemed to appear during warm seasons.
Neji never really paid much attention to it, he saw her a few times randomly but thought nothing of it.
That is until it started to irk him to no end of how this sudden came changed, he knew it wasn't from Sasuke (May he be getting raped by Orochimaru right now) so why now?
But he only let them be lingering thoughts thinking someone will find out soon or a later, the answers could wait.
Neji was walking down an old dirt path it was fall but close to winter, cold enough to wear a scarf and big coats.
Looking ahead he saw a girl in a black form fitting coat sitting on the wooden railing haunched over picking at the ends of the rip in her jeans by the knee.
She had long thin stringy pink hair that went to the bottom of her knees, but a small frail body.
Neji kept walking until he was standing directly infront of her but hisleft side facing her glancing ahead but never looking at her he asked "So what brings you out here, mystery woman of winter?"
A nickname she earned over the years from the children that saw her when she came to linger around.
She laughed lightly but it had a shallow sound to it "Ah, well you see I was waiting for winter to come around and thought what would be the most interesting place to haunt?
I think its absolutly wonderful by a forest where all the trees were bare on an old creeky bridge."
Neji sighed and leaned against the wooden railing next to Sakura "So tell me Haruno, what made you become so mysterous anyways. No one really knows what happened for this sudden change to occur."
Sakura looked up in the sky craning her neck letting the cold air whipe at the new exposed skin "I don't even know myself, I guess I just let myself slip away in the fog and not knowing where to go from there."
Neji snorted, "You should become a poet."
Sakura's face spread with a wide grin "Im working on it Hyuuga."
She titled her head to the side to look at him the first time since they spoken "What about you, you always seemed like the type to beocome a cheesey barmaid."
Neji snorted again and looked at her through the corner of his eye "Actually I was looking up the job for Geisha, seems easy."
"Mister joy and Sunshine having to act nice? Please what parallell universe did I stumble into?"
"Witch ever one you left your old self in."
Sakura and Neji sat there in silence still smiling lightly feeling at ease in each other's presence.
Neji looked at her straight in the eye sobering Sakura up a bit, she quickly averted her eyes to the gray woodboards that created the bottom of the bridge "You know that's why I like you, your eyes are like snow, the white icey snow that when you fall it leaves your face raw and aching for days until you fall again and scrap your knee then your face is just a numb throbbing."
Neji snorted very loud and ungentleman like "I see you're also a romantistic."
It was Sakura's turn to snort, "Romance is overrated, and everyone uses the term 'pure white snow' why not try something different."
"Ah yes everyone younge love will be using your awfully fluffy sayings."
Sakura grinned "Of course, I am gonna become a poet."
Both laughed in the back of their throats enjoying the chilly air and rush of the water below them the hitting rocks.
The first time they seemed at ease with each other's presence.
