Rain.
Rain again. Sakura was tired of rain. It had been raining nonstop for the last week. No matter how much time would pass, rain would always bring back bad memories for her.
It rained the morning that Sasuke had left. It rained the day Kakashi had brought back a nearly comatose Naruto. Rain-laden clouds had covered the sun the day Naruto had left her behind, beginning his training journey with Jiraiya.
It had been raining when she thought Sai would die under her hands.
Even though it had happened in early spring, and it was now nearing summer, the rain brought back the memory of blood-splattered parchment and streams of pink-tinged rain water.
She was becoming like her shishou, she mused. Scared of losing people close to her, even though it was an occupational hazard.
