Ok, I made this because I was bored, I have a writor's block on all my other stories and I needed people's opinion. So, should I post some Akatsuki/Sakura stories? I have a bunch of (What I think) good ideas. BUT I NEED YOU GUYS HELP! So please tell me if I should! PLEASE!
So here's a little poem I made up about Sakura joining the Akatsuki, what let up to it, and how Naruto felt
"Her Laugh" ~thought's or poem
"Her Laugh" ~regular text
Her Laugh
It was since he left
She was never the same
She was lifeless, blank, she barely talked…
But worse, she wouldn't smile or laugh
Sakura looked blankly at her friends as they laughed at Ino's joke. It wasn't that she didn't get it. She just didn't feel anything.
Hinata turned to Sakura. "So Sakura, we're visiting the Grass village to hang out, would you like to come?"
Sakura looked at her with blank eyes and nodded. "Ah…" And left
Everyone looked at her leaving form.
"What's wrong with her?" Ino asked
"It was because of that teme…" Naruto growled
She barely hanged out with us
She was getting farther and farther away
But most of all,
I was forgetting what she looked like when she was happy…
Or when she laughed
Someone knocked on Sakura's door with demanding urgency.
Sakura opened the door and jade met with sky blue.
"Hi forehead! We're going out on a girl's night!" She showed Hinata and TenTen who were behind her. "Want to come along?"
Sakura looked away. "Sorry…I'm busy." And closed the door.
With Naruto he was sitting on his bed. Try to remember…what was it like?
He tried to remember what Sakura looked like when she was happy, but it was fading. He couldn't really remember. Then he tried laughter….but all he got was a faint sound….like it was being carried by the wind.
We missed it, I missed it,
Her smile…the one that kept me up every day
But her laugh…the one thing that kept my spirits up
I did everything I could…but it really was no use
She was slipping further and further away…
Naruto and gang were hanging out at the park. Naruto was cowering as everyone (except Sakura) was ganging up on him.
Naruto looked up and anime tears streamed down his cheek as he sulked. "Why is everyone so mean to me?"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, except Sakura, who was barely paying attention. She looked up at everyone who was looking back at her.
She got up. "Sorry….I have to go." And left
Then I left, for 3 years to train
I came back, and she was the same as ever….
Except stronger…
And more quiet and cold
I actually missed her hitting me
Naruto breathed the familiar Konoha air. "Wow! It's good to be back!" Sakura flashed through his mind. I wonder what she's doing…
He ran to find her and found her talking to Kakashi.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled and accidently bumped into her. He looked up at her form that was turning to him and cowered back. She's going to hit me!
He looked up to see Sakura looking at him with blank eyes. "Naruto…you're back but…" She sighed. "You're as dumb as ever…" And she left
Naruto looked at her retreating form sadly. "Sakura-chan…"
Soon, we hated it
We kept her out of things
We ignored her
We wanted her to feel the way we felt
All I wanted was to see her smile
And her laugh…
Sakura walked over to Ino and TenTen. They seemed to be in a conversation. Right when she was about to talk, Hinata came over.
"I need your help!"
"What is it Hinata?" Ino asked
"I have a four man mission and I need three more people. Would you like to be on my team?"
"Sure Hinata!"
"Of course!"
Just before Sakura could agree they ran off without her. What just happened?
She didn't get it for a while
She kept trying to enter our conversations
She didn't realize
Until Ino had a party
She finally got it
Sakura was walking around. She heard Ino was having a party, and she knew she had to get invited.
Even while they were rivals, Ino always went out of her way to invite her, never taking no for an answer.
But Ino never came to her. Sakura waited at home all day, she never knocked on the door.
It was ten o' clock when she finally realized it. They're ignoring me. That explains how everyone is acting how I'm not there, and talking to me coldly if I do talk. But…why?
Soon, everyone started to like it
They liked the fact that she was in pain…
Even though she never showed it
Soon, only one emotion showed in her eyes, that only I could see
Sadness
Naruto laughed at Hinata's small joke towards Neji. He turned when he felt someone's chakra signature. Just in the distance, was Sakura, looking at them. Once Naruto was fully looking at her she turned and ran away.
Naruto could see the pouring sadness in her eyes. He saw a twinkle in her eyes and he knew it was a tear.
I never thought it would hurt her this way
I felt ashamed
Now every time I try to imagine her happiness and laughter…
I only see her sad eyes
Naruto laid down on his bed looking at the ceiling. He imagined Sakura's face, he tried to remember her happiness and laughter but…all he saw was that sad face he saw when she saw them at the ramen shop.
He put his hands up to his face. What have I done?
One day….she disappeared
She was gone
Not a trace
The only thing that was left….
Was her village headband
Naruto ran to the Hokage's office. He opened the door to see Tsunade looking down sadly at her hands.
"Tsunade-baa-chan….tell me…tell me it's not true!"
Tsunade sighed. "I'm sorry Naruto…" She showed him the pink headband. "She's gone…"
"No…." Naruto took the headband. "No…"
Tsunade got up and patted Naruto's shoulder. "It's ok Naruto. We'll find her, don't worry."
Naruto nodded. "Can I keep the headband?"
Tsunade nodded. "Of course."
He left sadly, clutching the headband. This is all my fault
Then, after 2 months…
I found her…
I heard her laugh…
I saw her…
With three other people….
Naruto ran through the forest. We have to find her! We just have to!
Then he heard it, the laugh, the twinkling like a fairy and how soft, fragile and childish it seemed. Naruto almost stopped. It's her laugh
He ran until the laughter got louder and, hiding his chakra, he saw her. But what he saw broke his heart into a bunch of different pieces.
With a new knucklehead...someone who could replace me as the fool
A boy…man…was making a fool of himself, saying random things, being cheerful. Sakura was laughing at this like it was the best thing in the world.
A man with blonde hair…someone who could replace Ino as her best friend
Sakura turned to him. "Come on Deidara! Have some fun!"
Deidara smirked. "Only if you tell me the answer to that riddle you told me earlier today."
Sakura laughed. "No way! Figure it out on your own! Even Tobi got the answer!"
And a man that you were staying close to...someone to replace Sasuke…as your lover
Sakura leaned into Sasori. "This is nice."
Sasori nodded. "Very. It's nice to watch the world go by."
Sakura smiled. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. "Yeah…it's as nice as you…"
I got it
She got a new family
A new place to share her happiness
A new place to share her love
By why them?
Were we that bad?
Naruto turned away and ran, the tears streaming down his eyes. It's all my fault! The Akatsuki! She joined the Akatsuki!
Now I get it
Because of a mistake
Because of how we treated you
We lost you…Sakura-chan
We lost everything…
You're scent…
You're strength…
Your cheerfulness…
Your happiness…
But most of all….
Naruto sat down at a tree. It's my fault! We lost it….we lost everything…I lost the thing that cheered me up the most…
Her laugh….
