Hinata Hyuuga,

It's been a long day, and walking into this house a little over an hour ago and finding a letter, written in script I am extremely familiar with scared me. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know if it would be a "you haven't changed, go away" or if it would be a "all you've ever done is weigh me down and put me through bullshit just fuck off". Hesitantly I locked myself in my room and opened what I so badly wanted to read while my pulse slammed against my chest. But now I understand. Yes there are a lot of questions I would want to ask but none are necessary to ask. I was scared I some how hurt you, some how did something wrong but I now see that is not the case. I'm sending you a response because its what I'll always do.

Hina-chan I know, and I understand. I'm sure you had unanswered questions after my last visit to your village, like why I bothered to show in the first place... I saw those beautiful pale lavender eyes mere days before so etched with confusion and pain it struck deep. I got worried, I needed to feel that I showed you that I could show up an actually be there if you ever needed. But now I see the time you need, is like the time you gave me. The time you let me go to stand on my own two feet. But please through this journey to the unknown, never forget that I will always think of you, even dream of you; for you are my best friend, the person I am the closest to.

My journey that I shall soon embark on is one I never wanted to take but it's the only path I truly have left. Abandoned by all (but you), I've come to realize I have no life here. The Anbu Military will be able to train me to hone my medical skills to perfection so maybe, just maybe I can make something on my pathetic being. I wanna make you proud Hinata..

Tears are rolling down my cheeks but this time they aren't of pure and utter pain but its of relief. Relief of knowing you're doing what you need to do to find yourself, to conquer/burry/or harness your demons. Don't take me wrong, a few tears are of pain, pain that I can't help you in this and pain that I know I will miss you. And as I close out my letter, my love filled response to something I'm so glad I came home to, I ask the same thing you asked me merely 1 year ago. Please..never forget the sound of my name or the love that I truly hold for you Hinats Lynn Hyuuga.

I wish you the best of luck my dearest friend. I hope to hear soon of your travels.

Love Always & Forever,

Sakura Haruno
