Author's Note: The sequel to 'The Colors of Love' in the first story was about Neji and Sakura, this one, 'Drained of Color' will probably be about Sakura coping over Neji and wishing she could re-live her childhood forever, maybe I'll make this a Sakura and Naruto?? PLZ R&R!!

AUTUMN

Sakura watched a golden leaf fly by her window and drift slowly onto the ground. She was in her room. It had been 3 months since Neji's death. 3 months, but for Sakura…. It was almost 30 years…..

Her friends tired to hook her up with some guys they knew, but it was no use. She just couldn't move on, no matter HOW hard she tried.

The pink haired kunoichi took therapy, starved herself, even tried hypnotism, but nothing worked.

SHE JUST CAN'T FORGET NEJI HYUUGA.

In total, Sakura had only gotten to spend a little more than a month with him, but she didn't know it was him.

'I was so rude to him…'

'I made his last few moments on earth a living hell….'

'If I love him? Then why did I push him away that night when he helped me with that dress?'

This was sort of thing that Sakura thinks to herself on those lazy autumn afternoons.

Sakura inhaled deeply. She wouldn't cry, she's cried thousands of time already, maybe its about time she moved on, no wait…..Neji won't mind if she cried one more time…..

This usually ended when poor Sakura cried herself of sleep. She considered herself, 'drained of color.'

When she was man hunting Neji, she was full of determination, full of color.

This color desired love, but now, with Neji gone…. There was nothing to wish for, nothing to wake up each morning and think, 'alright! Today I'm going to do this or that.'

She had lost Neji….

She had lost her love…

She had lost her colors…
