It's been 1 year since the person she loved came back to the village she called home. It wasn't because of her, she knew, but sometimes she would fall into a fake fantasy world where he came back because of her, because he cared for her, because he couldn't live without her.
Sakura sighed for the umpteenth time that day. She sat on the seat located south of her vanity and started brushing her hair. She was supposed to meet her now disbanded team. It was one of their routines. Even on days off, all 4 of them would meet up and eat -lunch or dinner- depending on their moods. Sometimes even Kakashi would join them.
She stopped brushing her hair when she started thinking of him. He would be there. He will be quiet, but he will still be there. He will not bother looking at her, but at least he will be there. He..Uchiha Sasuke, the person she fell so deeply in love with and still is.
'No.' She abruptly dropped the brush. 'I will not show emotions like that in front of him. I will not revert back to how I was. Even if it kills me, I won't show weakness in front of people, especially him.' She sighed once more and proceeded to go down the hall when her eyes caught something. She slowly made her way there and picked up the said object. Her eyes lingered on it for a while and she closed her eyes and gave a sad then took her keys and with a final look at her reflection with the help of a mirror, walked out of her house.
Sakura walked through the busy street with a smile on her face. She greeted everyone that passed her by, people she knew and didn't know. It wasn't that she liked talking to strangers but the fact that she was one of the most respected ninjas in Konoha made her so popular. She was passing by the training grounds when she saw something that sparked her interest, for the scene in front of her was shocking indeed. She really wasn't a person who would invade someones private moments or conversation but looking at what she was looking at now she couldn't help but stare in awe. For there was a guy hugging the life out a girl who was was hugging him with the same force...and the guy happened to be Rock Lee.
'Even Rock Lee had moved on. I'm happy for him. Atleast he doesn't have to feel the pain no more.' She thought as she resumed walking to the restaurant.
