How Ya Like Me Now?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything pertaining to Naruto. I do however own the storyline and an Ipod.
BTW this isn't some namby pamby wimpy Sakura story. She will be doing some serious butt kicking later.------------------------------------------
A tear hit the ground shattering like glass on impact as a pretty pink haired girl attempted to rebuild the shards of her devastated life. Looking down at her clenched hands another furious tear rolled down her cheek. 'I'm weak' she thought 'so very weak.' A feeble smile made its way to her face as she remembered "the good old days" when things were simpler. "Simpler my foot" she mumbled to herself.
Sauske had run off and Naruto chased after and dragged him back for Sakura. Then Naruto proceeded to go off to train with Jiraiya-ecchi coming back only recently while Sakura had trained with Tsunade-sensei and Sauske with Kakashi-sensei. The running joke name for Sauske's training with Kakashi-sensei was "How To Act Cool And Aloof 101".
Sakura had grown wonderful at healing and along with her "One Punch" technique she rivaled even Tsunade-sensei herself. But still she was far weaker then Sauske or Naruto and it hurt her greatly. For all her training and work she was still nowhere near as strong as them. The thought of Sauske reminded her of how much had changed. She thought of Sauske as an older brother not a crush.
For that matter she considered all of them her family, Sauske, Kakashi, and Naruto. She remember in particular a Christmas incident, she and Gaara had got caught under the mistletoe (Gaara was no longer crazy at this point). So she kissed him causing the normally stoic sand man to go unusually pink. This action also caused Naruto, Sauske, and Kakashi's eyes to collectively narrow protectively, after the kiss all three males led Gaara into one of the back rooms. When he exited Gaara looked unnaturally pale even for himself and the others had self-satisfied looks on their faces.
Her amusement didn't last long as she remembered why she was so upset in the first place. She had been feeling like that a lot lately, insignificant, trivial, weak. On that day of all days she should have been feeling happy. Today was Haruno Sakura's birthday.
Please review and not the 'OH GOD YOUR STORY SUCKS FOR NO REASON OR BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE CHARACTER PAIRINGS' if you don't like the story or pairings here's a newsflash YOU DON'T GOTTA READ IT! The pairing by the way it Naruto/Sakura.
