Wow, it's been a really long time. I wanted to apologize right now for the drabble and not an entire book like you guys deserve, but it's what I can do for now. I have two more stories, and a SasuSaku I can put up soon too.

Please look at my profile and vote on what you want in the poll. There is a choice of up to 3 options. Go ahead and pick all three if you want, or just one, or two, it doesn't matter! I just want some feedback!


Blood; there was so much blood. It stained his hands, his clothes, his face, his eyes. The tears streaming down his cheeks didn't serve to help; they were crimson as well.

He ran away from it all, all the red, the memories, covered in liquid. Soon the sky ran red, the grass beneath his feet. He was panicking now; his breaths were pants, just short of hyperventilating. His eyes clenched shut, and on his knees the first scream broke from chapped lips.

Sakura shook the screaming man at his shoulders, barely holding onto rational thought as her lover cried out in obvious agony. Not knowing what else to do, she sent a blast of chakra into his body, pulling him from his nightmare.

He nearly punched the woman gripping his shoulders so tightly he was sure he was going to bruise. The look on her face, filled with relief at his eased screaming, threw the man off for only a second before he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, burying his face into the crook of her neck and shuddering a breath.

That's when the first tears began.
