I don't own Naruto.
:..:
Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop.
"Can you smell it?"
"Hmm?"
"The rain. Can you smell it?"
"Oh. Umm no I can't."
"Oh. Okay."
:..:
That day, that cold, rainy day. I don't know why he asked me that question. I don't have a clue. Not one single clue. Well that's exaggerating. I think I do, well I hope I do.
'Yes. I got it now!'
I think..
:..:
Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop.
"Oh! It's raining again!"
For some reason that made me happy.
Wait.
Hold on.
'happy?'
I dislike the rain so much and now it makes me happy? Whoa, how is that?
Rain…makes me happy?
That's not possible. No. It isn't. But, I remember that day…
-
It was a cold day. Very ominous. Something was going to happen. I knew it was. Because after that it started to rain and that's when I saw him.
He returned to the village. He returned with 3 people and none of them were Naruto.
Team 7 was replaced.
And after that, he just left…
-
But I don't care now, that was a long time ago.
Yet, he returned again on a cold cloudy day.
-
I stood still. I wasn't afraid though, because that couldn't be him. He would never come back here. Never.
But he was here.
He was right in front of me. Wearing those idiotic clothes, and that cold hard gaze. I couldn't move at all.
He started walking towards me and when he leaned in close to my face, I swear he was going to do something harmful to me. And, he did.
He kissed me.
And that's when it started to rain.
That's when I knew what this kiss meant.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
And that's when I disliked the rain.
-
Yet, here I am. Being happy for rain? Seriously?
Rain.
Rain is calm.
Rain is beautiful.
But, what does it smell like?
:..:
"Hi!"
"Oh. Hello."
"Today's such a nice, warm, sunny day. Isn't it?
"Yes. Yes it is."
There was momentary silence. But he asked me something. That one question.
"Have you found out yet?"
I knew what he meant. But I still did not know.
"Oh. Umm no. Sorry."
"It's okay."
Wait. Was there a hint of sadness in his voice? Why would he be sad?
Well, anyways I really don't think I'll ever know what it smells like.
:..:
Drip. Drop.
"Oh Its raining! Maybe now I'll find out what it smells like."
That made me happy once again.
So I went outside. I stayed in the rain, and I smelled it.
"What?"
I was shocked but I finally found out what rain smelled like.
:..:
'knock. knock'
"Hmm. Sakura? What are you doing here? And you're soaked!"
I could tell he was sleepy. I had to laugh at that.
"Oh. Haha. I am. Sorry about that."
"Okay well come inside then."
"But wait! I have something important to tell you!"
"But you're wet. You need to dry off."
"Hold on. That's not important."
"Yes it is."
"Okay. Well I'll just tell you. I found out what rain smells like..." I paused. "Rain smells like you."
Yes. I knew I was right. I could tell by how his eye softened at what I said.
That was the reason why I used to like rain before the incident, and now I love it. My favorite scent of all. The scent of pure Kakashi Hatake.
