Unknown feeling

A naruto fanfic

Chapter 1

Oh god. I felt like bursting as she walked by. I hadn't felt this for so long. This... emotion was different then my mindset. It wasn't unkind.

I forced myself to focus on my work. But I could hear the monster of feeling, louder then the real monster inside of me. How to react? I tried to smile at her. She ignored me.

I remember the fight with Sasuke. I was so hard on her. If I try hard enough I still can feel her soft pink hair brushing my hand, my real hand.

She walked by again. Strutted is more appropriate. God my hands were shaking. I was mad at myself. I was mad at her. She HAD to sit at the back. She HAD to torture me. Why couldn't she stop?

My feelings were too strong. In an instant she was on the floor. Temari's soothing voice said to calm down. I could see sand all around Sakura. It had defiantly stopped her. She was choking on the ground. Shukaku said she deserved it. I hated myself. The sand settled. I was too shocked to cry.

After class I stopped her. "Why did you pick me as your target?" her voice ringed out as tears lined her face. She ran away before I said anything. She ran away like every one else. "If I could only control Shukaku…"
