I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

"SAKURA-CHAN!"

"What is it Naruto?"

Sakura just finished locking her house door when she heard Naruto's loud voice calling for her.

"Sakk…kuraa-chh…annn…" Naruto said, out of breath from all the running he did.

"What is it Naruto?" she asked again.

"Did you hear?" he asked after taking a breather.

"Hear what?" she asked.

"Well, uhh…" Naruto started, having no idea to break it to his team mate and sister that her so-called love of her life was back in Konoha. Before he could re-start his sentence, Sakura cut him off.

"He's back, isn't he?" She questions, her voice immediately changing from her happy-go-lucky self to a lifeless one.

"How'd you know?" Naruto asked, shocked.

"The look in your eyes tells everything. Only his return can bring such joy to your eyes, Naruto." She said, with that lifeless tone again.

To say Naruto was shocked that Sakura could read him so easily was an understatement. He was BEYOND surprised that she could read him so easily.

"Aren't you going to welcome him back?" he asked Sakura.

"Sorry, what?" She asked, pretending to not have hear his question.

"Aren't you going to welcome Sasuke-teme?" He asked once again, emphasizing Sasuke's name.

"Nah, I have lots to do and, besides; its not worth my time." When she said that Naruto's eyes which were staring at his shoes immediately looked up and tried to read Sakura's face for any signs of lying. Though he knew that Sakura was lying, he let her off by believing her lie.

He knew how much it pained her to see Sasuke back. I mean, she told him she loved him and he just replies with a "Thank You" and left her on a bench. That wasn't the only thing Naruto knew about Sakura, no. he knew something else, he knew that at night, Sakura would take time to go to the bench where he left her. She would sit on the bench with her arms wrapping her knees as she cries. She would do it every night. Afterwards she would walk the long way to the house, so that she wouldn't have to pass the Uchiha Compound. Talking about him, even looking at the Team 7 picture was hard for her. Everyday on the 23rd of July, she would always stay at her house. She would lock herself from the outside world. She would either try to make new jutsus or re-read her medical scrolls to try to find stuff she has missed the first time reading it. She would do anything to do stay inside. She wouldn't let anyone inside except Hinata, Tenten and Ino. Temari, occasionally, if she was in town. She became closer to Hinata when she and Naruto started dating. She was close to Tenten because of that one day when Tenten talked to her about her situation and how it was similar. Though, her situation was all cleared out and was currently dating Neji Hyuga. Ino who was her 'Rival' before now has started going out with Kiba. With Temari ending up with Shikamaru.

Sakura would only let those 4 girls in not even Naruto was let in. Sakura would end up crying herself to sleep every night of the 23rd of July. Naruto knew this from his girlfriend, Hinata Hyuga. She couldn't bear to keep this from Naruto eventhough she promised Sakura not to tell anyone, even Naruto.

Sakura left Naruto to go to the old, team 7 training grounds. She remembered the bell tests and how they passed the test. She laughed bitterly at her past. How her infatuation turned to something that she herself couldn't control. Without notice, she had fallen in love with Sasuke Uchiha, but unfortunately he didn't reciprocate the feeling.

She sat at the tree in the middle of the said training grounds with her head on her knees.

'No, she wouldn't cry. That thing wasn't worth her tears.' She chanted again and again in her head.

Once she stopped the tears which had threaten to fall down in a blink of her eyes she got up and started target practicing. She had 3 shurikens in each hand. She threw them with all her might, which could also be said to release her anger. She hit every bull eye. She repeated this a couple dozen times and finally, after having all her shurikens thrown, she decided to pick them up. She straightened her posture and started taking a step towards where the targets are but ended up pulling out a kunai from her pouch and immediately appearing herself behind the person who had been watching her this whole time.

"Well done, Sakura." Said the voice. It was deep and calm.

"Thank You. And, welcome back, Uchiha." She said with a lifeless voice.

That's it for today..

I'll try to update ASAP!:D
