(don't kill me because i haven't continued anything and i started something new again oh noes) anyway, yeah, I made a new story again because my love for Team 7 is eternal.

setting: sometime when Sasuke goes back to Konoha and everything is back to "normal" again.

disclaimer: I wish.


"I'm sick of you telling me that I'm not good enough. I'm sick of you treating me like I'm some kind of crippled person you have to protect. I know I may not be as strong as the three of you, but I can fend for myself. I'm pretty damn strong, wouldn't you agree?" she said as she punched the earth beneath her, making the ground they stood on shake. Her hands glowed blue as the chakra flowed through her veins.

"I'm not twelve anymore. I'm stronger, smarter. I'm not the weak girl with waist-length disgustingly pink hair and lame green eyes who was so sacred, so afraid, of the world. I'm not her anymore!" she screamed, barely containing her anger.

"Saku-" Sasuke had started to say.

"Shut up, Sasuke!" Her chakra glowed more intensely than it had before. Her fists were shaking. She was so angry. "Shut up! I don't need to hear you pity me! Just because you're stronger than most doesn't mean you have to look down on us. But you know what? I don't care! I don't need your approval!"

She stopped for a moment. "Because I don't love you anymore," she whispered.

Tense silence.

"And you, Naruto!" Konoha's cherry-blossom wasn't done yet. "You think you're so damn special? You think just because you have a kyuubi in your stomach means we should treat you specially? Fuck no! You're a monster, Naruto. A monster. You don't deserve to be here. You don't even deserve to live!"

Sasuke and Kakashi stood, shell-shocked at Sakura's words. Sure, she was a little heartbroken over Sasuke. And maybe, they did treat her like a twelve-year old again. But Sakura wasn't like this. She never said those things about Naruto. She never brought up that topic. Naruto, meanwhile...

Naruto hadn't cried in years. She was the first to make him hate himself again.


yeah, I'm supposed to continue it but I have tons of homework to do. Plus, my final exams are this week. Wish me luck!

(I promise to continue this after the exams. (Maybe.))

Leave a review because reviews are like food to fanfiction authors (AND PLEASE, WHO DOESN'T LIKE FOOD).
