On October 30, xxxx, at exactly 2:57:05 PM, the world broke.
And when I say the world broke, I mean the entire fucking universe split open, its surprisingly fleshy innards exposed for the survivors to experience with the utmost revulsion and awe. Bodies strewn across the dusty path bisecting the marketplace, the moaning of the injured, a distant cry for aid...
I am a healer. I am aid. But I could offer no help. I stood, transfixed at the horror—the horror that I caused.
Yes. It was I who destroyed everything I loved and cared for. It was I who had turned a once peaceful scene of buying and selling—of everyday life and pleasantries—into a bloody massacre.
It was I who broke the world.
I wanted to fall to the floor, weeping for all I had lost—all the time I had wasted with frivolous yearning for a boy who didn't give a damn about me—all the time I could have used for a much better purpose; but what kept me upright was the feeling of inevitably. In a flash, my perceptions of future... of the distinctly harsh strength of an old lonely maiden... churned—disappeared. Everything I knew and thought I loved was gone.
"Sakura!" I heard Ino's voice whine from beside me. "We have to deliver these meds or Tsunade will have our hides."
I blinked. "Huh?" The marketplace returned to the image of the usual clatter of villagers going about their busy day.
"Come on," Ino tugged on my elbow before raising one delicate eyebrow. "And you've got drool on your costume."
"Oh." I quickly wiped the frill of my sexy nurse outfit (hey, I thought it was clever). As a disgruntled Ino practically dragged me toward our destination, I took the chance to glance back to the cause of my mind's destruction. Talking excitedly to a vendor, he stood proud and so sure of himself—dressed as a giant stalk of celery.
And it was on October 30, xxxx, at exactly 2:57:05 PM, that I determined that the entire world was broken because, although I knew he looked ridiculous, all that came to mind was how... cute Lee looked.
