Her mind was always buzzing about, jumping from one subject to another. She had been on leave for a good three months now after her fall out at Konoha Hospital, leaving her to do absolutely nothing but sit at home, staring at the blank sheets of paper she had collected over the years along with the wilted flowers of the same two color every single time she had them; blue and pink, their signature colors.
Sakura wasn't lively anymore, the sparkle in her eyes had long died, leaving nothing but empty voids for someone to stare into. She wasn't Sakura anymore, she had lost the will to go one strong; hoping one day her love would come home to her. Now he was gone for good, and there wasn't anything she could do about it.
All she could do was go to his grave sight and mourn. People came to visit day after day, checking up on her to make sure she was okay. She would force a small smile and lie, trying to get them to leave as quickly as possible.
She knew it wasn't the best way to handle situations like this, she had seen the outcome of it so many times, they would hold in their problems for so long that they exploded, either winding up dead or insane.
But for right now, all she wanted to do was just that, be alone with her agonizing thoughts, no matter how many times they made her cry. With a gentle sigh, Sakura lifted herself off the couch, shuffling across the room to the bookshelf that occupied a corner.
Her emerald green eyes scanned the book spines, searching for the correct one she wanted, after a moment she let out a loud, "Aha!", quickly placing her thumb on the spine and index finger on the top, pulling out the book labeled, "Reanimation Jutsu: Edo Tensei".
Sakura ran back over to the couch and plopped down, scanning through the pages until she found what she wanted. For the first time in two years, her eyes lit up, a smile forming on her delicate face. "Yes.."
After marking the page she was greeted with a hurried knock at her door, causing the smile to fall off of her face, she didn't want visitors at this moment in time, all she wanted to do was hurry to the graveyard and hopefully bring Sasuke back, even if it were for a short amount of time.
Sakura placed the book underneath the cushion, walking over to the door slowly. "Who is it?" she asked, placing her hand on the door knob, awaiting a reply. "It's me, dattebayo!" the upbeat voice replied, anxiously awaiting for the door to open.
With a sigh of relief she unlocked the door, turned the knob, and opened the door slowly, smiling up at the blonde. "Woah, Sakura! You're actually smiling!" he nearly yelled, grabbing onto her tightly, pulling her into a hug.
Sakura laughed and hugged him back, pulling away. "That's because I discovered something. Something amazing." Naruto raised an eyebrow, scanning her face. "Like?" "Follow me, I'll explain everything to you." With a slight shrug Naruto followed his pink haired friend over to her couch, prepaid for whatever she had to say.
At least so he thought.
