1. Goodbye
Sakura laid her hand on the wooden gritty material. Right now she sat on the very bench she sat where she met sasuke for the first time and saw him for the last time. Three years had passed since he left and team 7 changed so much. Sasuke turned into a complete avenger; always power hungry. Naruto went from "zero to hero" by surpassing his masters and becoming a sage. Sakura transformed into a super strong kunoichi and a medical ninja.
Come on Sakura snap out of it! Sasuke-kun will come to konoha in no time! Ugh now I sound like that baka haha. Sakura sighed. It was no use. She still missed sasuke and yearned for him to come back. Especially now since today was the day where he had left. She always remembers this day as if it were a birthday and on this day is where she feels the most depressed. She tried to avoid everyone as much as possible so they wouldn't see her depression.
"Hey Sakura-chan! Whatcha doing!" Sakura gasped in surprise. That Baka, when did he get here? "Oh h...hi Naruto." Naruto cocked an eyebrow. She usually calls him an idiot so something wasn't right. "What's wrong you don't look right."
"I'm FINE naruto." Sakura regretted saying that. It sounded a bit more harsher then she intended.
Naruto sighed. It must be Sasuke... "Don't worry I'll get Sasuke back! I Promise— "
"WHAT DO THOSE WORDS EVEN MEAN! YOU DIDN'T GET HIM BACK THE FIRST TIME SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU! IT'S YOUR FAULT SASUKE LEFT!"
Naruto was left astonished. "MY FAULT! HOW COULD IT BE MY FAULT!"
"It's your fault because if you hadn't accepted to battle him at the hospital roof top then NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!"
That's it. She had to let it out she couldn't take it anymore. She stood up from the bench and started to leave. "Sakura chan wait... If you truly feel that way... Then why didn't you tell me this three years ago?"
Sakura was about to respond but it was too late, Naruto had already left.
=Ichiraku Ramen=
It was five in the afternoon but Sakura was already hungry. One of her weaknesses was that she always gets hungry when she's depressed. For some strange reason she decided to go to Ichiraku's. She didn't know why but she just had to go there. Unfortunately though, her enemy was there: Ino Yakamana.
Ino Pig what could she be doing here. Dammit why did I pick Ichiraku's!
"Well well, looks like Bill Board Brow decided to show up!"
Sakura stuck out her tongue. She wasn't in the mood to argue. After her fight with Naruto she felt worse. She just wanted to eat and go home. Her feelings weren't working right. She regretted saying those words to Naruto. Naruto was her best friend. Some times even mo... Sakura stopped in her thoughts. Ugh what the heck am I thinking! It was Naruto's fault Sasuke-kun left. I shouldn't regret saying the truth. And Naruto is just a mere friend, in fact he is just annoying. He should just leave me alone Hmph.
"Hey Sakura stop spacing out will ya?" Sakura snapped out of her thoughts. She looked down to see that her ramen, once piping hot was dead cold.
"Anyways, Aren't you going to say good bye and good luck to Naruto?" Naruto's leaving? What's going on?
"Ino what's going? Why is he leaving?" Ino sighed. God what's wrong with Sakura? Shes acting weird...
"Hasn't he told you? I'm surprised. You're one of Naruto's closest friends. You would be the first person he would tell, but anyways he's leaving to go off on a super S rank mission along with five other jounin. The mission is going to be pretty tough so we won't know when they will come back. It's best to wish him good luck or at least say good bye."
Sakura was shocked. "But why? He isn't even a jounin yet. He isn't even a CHUNNIN yet!" She couldn't help but to start feeling worried.
"I don't know beats me. Probably cause he's a sage now, but come on! Let's go wish him luck!" Sakura froze for a while. No... She wasn't going. He wasn't her friend. He made Sasuke left.
"No. You can go ahead. I'm staying here." Ino was shocked.
"What! Are you serious? This mission can take incredibly long! Who knows when will you see him again! I don't know about you, but you are lucky to have such a friend and person like Naruto on your team." And with that ino left leaving a slight guilty Sakura behind.
=Sakura's apartment=
It was midnight already and Naruto had already left for his big mission. Sakura sat on her bed feeling guilty. Naruto... I'm... Naruto.. Good bye and good luck on your mission...
She kept thinking that all night long and without noticing it, she was also crying all night long.
