11:11 am.

Again, I wish for your return. I want you to come back, to laugh it off and say that it was all a lie, that you were just pulling my let and that you wanted to put me in a bad position so that I would tell you how deeply I felt about you.

You never come back.

11:11 pm.

I wish again for you to come home, to come back to Konoha.

I wonder if anyone can hear my pleas, because no one is answering them. I won't ever say it aloud, but I wonder about if there is a God, and if he cares that I'm in such pain after you left on that dark, cold night.

11:11 am.

It's another day. Another wish for you to come back. Still nothing.

How are you, Sasuke? Are you okay? Are you... alive?

People tell me to forget about you already – it's been months since you've been gone, month's that I've spent waiting for the clock to hit 11:11 so I can make my wish.

Please come home.

11:11 pm.

This is my 332 wish. It's been 166 days. I've been faithful to these wishes, and I go to the temples so often that even Naruto says I should get whatever I'm wishing for.

I don't tell him that it's you.

I fear that he'll try to make it happen like it always does. He'll risk his life to bring you back for me, because he doesn't like me being upset.

I wish you'd both just grow up...

11:11 am.

Please, God, Buddah, the almightly creator or whoever cares enough to listen...

Please make Sasuke come home to Konoha.

We miss him.

And I'm dying without him here.

11:11 pm.

I've decided that there is no God. There is no higher being who cares about us. There is no one who would grant a desperate wish to a desperate person. There is no one who would help someone in such need.

This world it corrupted. People are dying every day and I just hope that it's not you who's dying.

Maybe I need to grow up...

Maybe I need to change.

11:11 am.

I've decided that I need to start new. So I'm forgetting about you now, Sasuke. You're nothing but a boy I once fell in love with, a boy who once broke my heart and took several pieces along with him. That's the only reason I'll try to find you, now; to get the pieces of my heart back. That's all.

I'll become stronger now. I'll fight and I'll train and I'll fight and train some more! I won't stop until you stop me! I won't die until you kill me! And I won't stop being Sakura Haruno until you make me someone else!

Someone like Sakura Uchiha...

11:11 pm.

Tonight is the last night I'm wishing for your return. Tonight is the night that I stop this foolish hoping. The time doesn't matter and the Gods are all dead.

I've learned that if you want something in this strange, cruel life, you have to go out and grab it with your own hands.

That's the way it works, and that's the way it should be.

So that's that.

I won't wish for you, Sasuke. Not now, not ever again.

I'll just go out and get you myself.
