Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

He hated him.

He despised him.

He couldn't stand him.

But it made her so happy.

When the two of them got along, her whole face lit up.

Her emerald eyes sparkled with glee.

Her beautiful bubblegum hair seemed to shine a little bit brighter.

And, in a world torn with war,

she was at peace.

So he would pretend to like him.

He would pretend that his snide comments didn't affect him.

And he would try to stand him, if only for a little while.

If only for her.


Deidara, talking about Itachi and Sakura, because i know that it was probably a little bit confusing. Review, please!
