"I know your there," she yelled in an angry whisper. The rosette fell to her knees and ignored the silence, only the sobs of her tears could be identified and the trees blowing in the wind. The raven headed boy stayed planted on the branch looking down at the sorrow but familiar face... Sakura.
-Three months ago-
"If you go I'll scream!" she threatened and stopped in her movements. Weak at heart, her body wouldn't move closer to him even if she dared. Then he vanished from her view.
He's gone, she thought solemnly.
He appeared behind her, the strands of her pink hair blowing in the wind. The ends touching his face gently.
"Sakura," he said, "Thank you."
"Sasuke-Kun," she whimpered as if it were her last breath. He performed a jutsu on the girl causing her to fall asleep and land into his strong arms.
The face he would remember, her words such as "I love you more than anything" and the feeling of being around her. He placed her into a firm bench and left before he would regret splitting from the Leaf Village and his friends.
One thing he did regret was leaving Sakura on this chilly night, in the most dangerous path in the village that was often used for entering the village- the path he would take now, but instead leave and descend into darkness. He looked up at the crescent moon that seemed bitter, the moon was always bitter in the eyes of this Uchiha.
-Now-
The rosette quickly moved from tree to tree on a run. Something caught her eye, she was certain it was that lost raven haired boy, the boy who's intentions were like his hair, dark. And the boy that the rosette loved more than anything.
"I know your there," she yelled in a bittersweet whisper, again her heart was in a weak state and her body was too. As she bit her lip to stop the stream of tears, she heard a familiar smirk.
"Sakura... Go away," he boomed with anger for the fact that he was found watching his old home. "I have no intentions of talking to anyone- especially you!"
He always found her annoying, at first it was because of her childish attitude, throwing herself all over him and how she tended to show off her intelligence. He also knew deep down that he was jealous of her, for the fact she had family and he had lost his.
It was no mistake, it was her. Her hair, the color of a rose and her eyes like piles of emeralds within them- the girl he hated. And it was no mistake it was him she stared upon, his eyes filled with hatred and the sound of his disturbed voice- the boy she loved.
"Sasuke-Kun! Don't go! Stay!" she pleaded with all might, Sasuke looked down at her sorry-self. He moved quickly next to her, the swiftness of his movements created a strong wind throughout the forest. But the violent breeze was not what brought the chill in Sakura's body but the closeness of their bodies. She knew he would not stay, he would always choose revenge for that was his dream and she decided to let him go.
"Sasuke-Kun," she moaned "When your done running away, you can always come back to me... Always." She looked down, her tears falling on the sand creating tiny specks of mud, then she stared up at him- teary eyed.
When she blinked and opened her eyes, from the spot she was gazing at, the raven headed boy had fled and was replaced with Naruto.
"Ah. Sakura-Chan! I've been looking for you!" he boasted in a cheesy voice and rubbed the back of his neck. He then noticed she was in tears, her eyes filled with grief just like when Sasuke first left. "Huh?" He knelt down beside her and tried to comfort her with encouraging words and questions asking what had happened, but she stayed silent.
The rosette stopped crying, and was awakened into the world. Her teammate, Naruto constantly asked her questions that annoyed her but she stared blankly at him.
Was it just my imagination, she questioned herself.
"Nothing! Nothing!" she insisted and got up dashing back to the village.
But it wasn't nothing, she thought while running to the village.
"Sakura-Chan! Wait up!" the blond yelled from behind her- still bewildered of what he saw. "Stupid Sasuke," he muttered annoyed, "If only I heard what they said."
