Hello! I've decided to do a series of short one-shots (Borderline drabblers maybe?) Of Narusaku from rather large collection of one worded prompts I've collected. I'll post the first three (randomly chosen by a friend), and continue from there until I get sick of it. Hopefully I can add one everyday, but I have finals coming up so it may be hard. I do not own Naruto or any related characters. Please read, review, and enjoy!


#17 Beach

The beach. A beautiful scene...rolling white sand...calm ocean waves...and almost always radiating sunshine. Sakura would gaze at the beauty for a long time, almost letting it slip from her mind that this peace could turn into chaos. Waves could turn to chaotic whirlpools with no warning, crashing violently against anything in their wake and dark clouds of ominous foreboding could hide that sunshine. It reminded her that the sunshine was more fragile then she liked to think.

She knew that from experience and would always remember when she started to get lost in the warmth.

The beach could be unruly. Violent. Untamed.

But a storm could be seen when one knew how to look. And she knew. She had practiced and learned from trial and error. And that let her stay in the warmth. The glory of the sun, the peace it could bring. The depth it reminded her of.

"Sakura-chan?" She jumped at the sound of Naruto's voice and was pulled from the beautiful scene, back into the real world. "What's wrong?"

Concern...just a little cloud...but still he radiated sunshine. Why was there always so much more when she was around.

"Nothing...just wondering when we can go the beach. It'd be fun."

He smiled at her and she imagined swimming in that ocean, wondering just how deep those wonderfully blue eyes of his really were. And she could see the sun reflecting in the water. But she could also see the amusement and longing in them. "That sounds like fun Sakura-chan. We'll get baa-chan to send us soon!"

She interlocked her arm with his and gave him a smile, letting the faintest blush cross her cheeks as she looked up at her beach.


Hope you liked it! Review, fav, so on.
