Author's note: I don't own Naruto or Dragonball Z.
In a way, this is revenge against the blonde ninja whom she was hopelessly in love with, the same one who inspired her not to give in, not to surrender. She sacrificed herself, no...perhaps that's not even the right word to describe the selfishnesss she gave; she protected him against Pain. And almost got killed in the process...
And for what? For that Kyuubi idiot to disregard her feelings for him as nothing but a crush; the same idiot whom had eyes for the Pinkette and not her. Never her. Her inspiration? That's it. That's all he ever was to her and he was too stupid to see nor realize that for himself. To silently allow another to take her place by his side was heartbreaking yes, but rewarding at the very end, oddly satifying in fact. Even so, that still held no excuse that she was being watched.
Blue eyes.
Ice blue eyes that watched her from afar and no one knew whom they belonged to.
They were so very different from Naruto's eyes. Not nearly as enchanting and pleasing to gaze into endlessly.
No one knew where this mysterious boy came from nor asked or cared to. To them, he was just another travler. Well, he is in a sense.
Over protected by others around her, seeing her as the quiet girl. Everyone knew she had improved but still was the meek, low self esteemed girl from the start.
And he was falling for her.
Aside from learning that she was a ex heiress and that she had a crush on the Leaf's 'Number one knuckle head' one, in his eyes didn't deserve such affection and dedication from her had sacrificed herself to protect him while up against a powerful enemy.
It wasn't enough that the blonde ignored her feelings, no, he had to add insult to injury when he confessed his feelings to Sakura and she said yes. That was the worst kind.
It was only fitting that she wanted to feel heartbroken and self loathing.
But, that's not what her mother would've wanted. In the end, it was he that had his chance.
If only he had realized the secret longing looks not directed at him, but towards the lavender newcomer whom had developed a similar crush on the quiet and shy girl but hid it. In a odd way, he reminded him of Sasuke except without the emo bullshit and revenge rampage persona. Plus he was a ok guy so that had to count for something right?
The blonde had his chance at real love.
He had his chance to confess his feelings to the beautiful angel who was now in anothers arms.
He had his chance to tell her he loved her.
He hated him for taking away his chance, not like he deserved it at all. He never did notice the quiet girl, so why become jealous of someone else who finally sees her? He, who saw her as a 'Dark, timid, weird girl' was being adored and loved by another, one who wasn't even a ninja!
So revenge? Hardly. Moving on? Most definitely.
