'You will prepare a gift to present at Naruto and Hinata's wedding'
The words of the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, kept ringing through my mind as I walked along the crowded streets of the Hidden Leaf. It was not only a bight and sunny day; the sky utterly bereft of clouds, but it was also three days before the Dobe and Hinata's wedding so to say the village was chaotic would be an understatement. You could feel people smiles in the back of your head, and the buzz of the children's excitement was deafening. Every third word I heard was either 'Naruto', 'Hinata', or 'Wedding'. It was quite odd to walk so plainly, and yet have no one even glance at me. I escaped from my thoughts as I heard a familiar sound.
'Lee, you can not go to the wedding in a body suit! You have to wear a proper suit!' Said an extremely dejected weapons user.
'But TenTen, this suit embodies my youth and determination, and I also do not own any other clothes' replied the energetic taijutsu master.
'That really is not the point... Oh Saskue, when did you get back?' she asked, understandably surprised.
'A few hours ago'
'Oh, well it is good to see you' And with that she was off, dragging Lee with her, despite his protests about challenging me for Sakura's heart.
I chuckled quietly at this, as in my eyes there is no one more deserving of it than him. He is kind, strong, passionate( overbearingly so), and he has supported Sakura most of his life. He never insulted her, or abandoned her, or tried to kill her…..
As the guilt started to well inside me, I realised I had arrived at a building that I had never seen before, and the sign on the gate above my head read:
'Konoha Children's and Psychiatric Hospital'
'Not a bad idea' I thought ' Must have been Lady Tsunades' And I was about to step of when I heard some words that stopped me right in my tracks.
'Lady Sakura, I know you are busy but please play with us!'
'Yea please Lady Sakura'
'Come on, you can't be that busy Lady Sakura!'
'Sakura?' I thought as I turned back and walked through the threshold of the grounds, and there she was, coming out of the main building with a gaggle of young children surrounding her, as clear as the sky above my head.
'I am so sorry guys but I have a lot to prepare for, but I will be sure to….'
She trailed off as her eyes met mine.
'Sauske' she gasped.
