Away with the Wind
It was wrong. She knew it. She knew it ever since she first laid her emerald orbs on him. Like a rule someone forgot to write down on stone, though it was always a common fact.
She shivered, as a cold breeze blew by, along with his entrance. Uchiha Itachi. As the cold blew down, she looked up at his presence.
His cold, red eyes stared coolly back at her, making her feel perturbed. As she brought her arms to fold over her chest, she found he was already behind her, placing his black trench coat around her.
She disappeared under the fabric, enclosed in a warm protection unlike any other. Turning around to face him, she felt as though she should have been honored. He didn't display this type of affection with just anyone.
Heck, he hardly showed any signs of affection or feelings for that matter. So, she was grateful for the times he did, even it was just the small things. She smiled at him uncertainly, not entirely sure what she was supposed to do next.
He pulled her into a one arm embrace, as another breeze pasted them by. He held her there, as though at any given second this moment with her would slip away.
She looked up as his normal orbs of red, faded into its natural onyx color. Sakura could see all the emotions he had been hiding behind the red; fear, anger, sadness, though more than anything else- guilt.
He caressed her rosy cheeks, almost as a reassurance. She simply closed her eyes, as tears slowly advanced down her face. Without words, she knew. There was no need for explanations.
She was a Konoha kuniochi. He was an S-ranked missing Nin. Their love was never meant to be, let alone last as long as it did.
Opening her long lashes, she placed her hands on his cheeks, holding his face in her hands. It was time. Just like the year before, and the year before that, he parted with her, slowly removing the coat from her slender shoulders.
The cold night air picked up as they gazed at each other, longingly. Without warning, he pulled her into a heart-warming kiss.
Then just like that, he was gone. There was no need for goodbyes, for he would always return, no matter how bad the risk.
Sakura smiled, as she held her self, gazing into the night sky as it began to rain. It always did. Every year, on this day, Valentine's. The day Uchiha Itachi stole her heart and took her breath away, just like how the leaves blow away with the wind.
