Konohagkure

Twilight has fallen over the village and the streets were slowly being deserted. The night brings peace and serenity to the typically bustling streets. Many of the villagers head home after a long, exhaustive day. All, except some of the Shinobi who take turns guarding the village gates. Protecting the village and its people from threats from rival Shinobi villages or rogues in search of vengeance.

In the quiet bliss of my own room, I sit on top of the window sill, where I reminisce, silently, my life, back before it became so complicated. Back when Naruto, Sasuke, and I first became a team. Everything was so much easier back then, so simple. It is so hard to believe that those days are gone, never to come back. I missed those days so much, that I wished I could go back in time to relive them. But, I know it is impossible. No matter how much I wish, nothing will change. Naruto and I will still be here, hoping that one day all our hopes and dreams become a reality. And Sasuke will still be gone. Gone forever from our lives as he has been for two and a half years.

Sakura:(thinking) Sasuke, where are you? It's been years since I've seen you. Two, almost three years. It's been so long, yet I still can't bring myself to forget you. You're still here, in my heart and soul. You left in me a wound that will perhaps never heal. I must be the most stupid girl in the world for loving you the way I do. For loving the memory of a guy that will never love me.

I sighed and fought back tears that threatened to escape my jade green eyes. I am a complete and utter fool because I loved an impossible. Someone who undoubtedly would never return, not until he takes his revenge against his brother for the death of his family, his clan. I am a fool to even hope, that he'll return, for me. Why would he? I am certainly nothing special. I am not from one of the villages more prominent clans. I was just an ordinary girl, a medic-nin. I smiled bitterly and contemplated my worth to many of the other kunoichi. There were definitely girls much more worthy of someone like him. I closed my eyes and let the tears roll down my cheeks. I opened them, slowly and stared back at the moon that was shining overhead. It was shimmering brightly overhead, covering the village in its light. I smiled and looked down towards the deserted street, where I saw two figures standing there, beneath the moonlight. As far as I could tell, it was a girl and a boy about my age. They were together, holding each others hands. They looked so happy together, so in love that it made me envy them. I wanted so much to be the girl down there. I wanted to be happy and I wanted to fall in love. If only I was able to love someone who hadn't left me damaged and unable to rip out his memory from my heart. Silently, I began humming a tune with my eyes closed. And before I knew it, I began to sing, mostly to myself.

Sakura: Sometimes I feel like a bird with broken wings. At times I dread my now and envy where I've been. But that's when quiet wisdom takes control. At least I've got a story no one's told. I finally learned to say, whatever will be will be. I've learned to take the good, the bad and breathe. 'Cause although we like to know what life's got planned. No one knows if shooting stars will land. These days it feels naïve; to put your faith in hope. To imitate a child falling backwards on the snow. 'Cause that's when fears will usually lead you blind. But now I try to under-analyze. I finally learned to say, whatever will be will be. I've learned to take the good, the bad and breathe. 'Cause although we like to know what life's got planned. No one knows if shooting stars will land. Is the rope I walk wearing thin? Is the life I love caving in? Is the weight on your mind, a heavy black bird caged inside? Say whatever will be will be. Take the good, the bad. Just breathe. "Cause although we like to know what life's got planned. No one knows if shooting stars will land. I finally learned to say, whatever will be will be. And I have learned to take the good, the bad and breathe. "Cause although we like to know what life's got planned. Things like that are never in your hands. No one knows if shooting stars will land.

I stop singing and slowly open my eyes. I look down and see that the couple had been dancing to my singing. They stopped and just stared at each other for a long moment. I walked away from the window and went to sit on my bed. I felt pathetic, sitting there feeling sorry for myself. I wanted to cry but what good would that do? It would only serve to bring me more pain and heartache. Reluctantly, I stood up and went to close my window. As I did, I saw a dark shadow standing in a corner of my room.

Sakura: Who are you?

The shadow remained silent and unaffected by the sound of my voice. Carefully, I grasped a weapon from my bedside table, trying not to alert my intruder of my actions. I walked slowly towards the stranger. When I was at a few inches from whoever it was, I brought the kunai knife I held in my hand in front of me and prepare to attack the trespasser if I had to.

Sakura: Who are you? What are you doing here? Answer me?

I waited for a response but there wasn't one. I closed the space between us and raised my weapon to attack. But, before the kunai could hurt whoever it was, I felt a strong grip on my wrist. I gasped in shock at the strength of my intruder. I realized it had to be a man, judging from his height. I winced in pain and I dropped to kunai. It fell noiselessly on my carpet. I stared at it for a long moment then looked to face my intruder.

Sakura: What do you want from me? If you're here to hurt me, then go right ahead. I have nothing to lose.

His hand left my wrist but then traveled up to my face. His hand felt warm as it cupped my chin. Whoever it was wasn't here to hurt me that much I was sure of. I looked up to try to see his face that remained concealed. My heart began doing somersaults in my chest. And then somehow, I knew who it was. I felt a lump forming in my throat. I tried to find my voice to speak but found it difficult to even put into words what I wanted to say.

Sakura:( whispers) Sasuke.

The man removed his hand from my face then brought them to his hood and pulled it back, to reveal the face of my former teammate. He looked the same as I remembered him. Still handsome as ever and with the same indifferent expression displayed over his features. His dark, onyx eyes stared back at my own emerald ones.

Sakura: Sasuke...

Sasuke: Hello, Sakura. It has been a long time, hasn't it?

I nodded in reply. I took one last glance at him and gazed at him for a moment. Then the world went black.
