I don't own Naruto.

Haruno Sakura looked up at the sky. Sighing, she sat back down on the bench. After all those years, maybe...

She closed her eyes, dreading to say those words.

"Maybe it's time to move on."

I've been pining away for the love of my life for two years, nine months, three days, and six hours. And I'm still on a roll.

"Damn you, Sasuke. Damn you and your prissy ass to hell."

"Haruno?"

She looked up to see the sea-green eyes of the Fifth Kazekage staring her down.

"Ah, Kazekage-sama."

"Hn." He looked at their surroundings. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

She looked away. "Nothing."

"Hn. I understand."

Her tears slowly cascaded down her porcelain skin. "Kazekage-sama, I-"

"Gaara. Call me Gaara." He put his right hand in front of her, waiting for her to take it.

She raised her left hand hesitantly. "Gaara..." Taking his hand, Gaara helped her stand up. Still looking down, he sighed.

Gaara lifted her chin to look at him. "What's the matter?"

"Sasu..Sasu..," she choked out. Sobbing, she threw her arms around Gaara.

Gaara was taken aback by this sudden gesture. Slowly, he put his right hand on the small of her back, his left caressing her pink hair, attempting to comfort her.

He placed his head on top of hers. "It's time to move on...Sakura."

"I believe it is."

He was right.
