A/N: Review


It was my turn to choke.

'Uh-oh,' I thought as I looked over at Sasori. However, he was smiling.

And though I've only known him or a couple of hours, I knew it was fake.

"Really nice to meet you!" Sasori said standing and reaching out to shake his hand.

"The pleasure is mine," Ken said.

I felt as if she was shooting him.

"Ken and I are getting married."

Bang

"He is one of my important people now."

Bang

"I love him."

BANG

I stood up abruptly causing everyone to look to me in confusion.

I plaster on my own fake smile.

"I just remembered I have to go do the thing."

With eloquent statement, I ran out of the house, went down the elevator, and out the lobby, tears of anger and frustration streaming down my face. I found myself in a park. I leaned against the tree and sighed.

"Great going Sakura," I scolded myself aloud, "You couldn't control your emotions just this once…" I finished.

"Yeah you couldn't," a familiar voice said.

I lifted my head to glare at Sasori. He continued.

"You totally threw us off. It was really a sur-"

"Oh do forgive me," I bite sarcastically.

Despite my tone, tears were again running down my face.

And both of us knew it wasn't from an army of dust attacking my eye.

"I've never been so annoyed and mad and frustrated with my sister in my life."

Little did I know that while I had been ranting Sasori had been closing the gap between us. He placed his hand beside my head and wiped away my tears.

"When I'm angry I start to cry so just leave alone." I said looking away tears still coming.

He used his hand and gently turned my face to meet his.

"Really," he whispered and then he kissed me…

After fifteen seconds, he pulled back.

"See all better," he smirked, but I thought I caught a glimpse of something else in his eye…Something like sadness.

Suddenly, he pulled me into a tight embrace.

Drop

'What's that? Is it fucking raining?! Oh wait, I wouldn't only feel it on my shoulder…" I thought to myself after feeling drops of moisture on my shoulder.

"Never in my life have I let someone see me cry," Sasori began, "There's no way I would let someone other than you see me this way…"

On instinct, I began to sing.

Natsuhiboshi naze akai?

Yuube Kanashii yume wo mita

Naite hanashita

Akai me yo

Natsuhiboshi naze mayou?

Kieta warashi wo sagashiteru

Dakara kanashii

Yume wo miru

"…"

"That was beautiful," Sasori said slowly letting go and sitting on one side of the tree.

"It was the song my mother sang whenever I cried… I haven't heard or sang it in 6 years…I can understand why you like Nadeshiko so much… she has a warm personality… just like my mother," I finished sitting on the opposite side of the tree.

We both sat in silence. It was a comfortable one though. One where we silently mourned for lost love and prayed for new…

"You have a warm personality too, Sakura- chan" Sasori said softly

I looked up at the full moon in the starry night sky.

My mom was born on a full moon.

I was born on a full moon.

We went on the roof and drank tea every full moon.

My mother died on a full moon…

Flashback

"Ne Okaa- san," 7 year old Sakura said, "What's love?"

Cypress Haruno looked to her daughter, a beautiful smile graced her face.

"Love is when you'd do anything for your lover to make them happy. You'd cry with them, laugh with them, help them, and basically do anything for them." She finished

"Oh." Sakura said, 'Huh. Sorry Sasuke.' she thought

Cypress laughed at her daughter's lack of enthusiasm.

"Oi ne, Sakura," she whispered.

The young pinkette turned to face her mother with confused yet curious eyes.

Cypress pulled a flower from behind her back.

"Hold it with me," she said.

Sakura wrapped as much of her small hand around her mother's as she could.

"You'll find your true love on a full moon on the luck of this and every-"

End Flashback

"Hmm…" Sakura sighed lifted by the happy memory, "maybe I do…"

'What was the flower again…Oh yeah it was a-'

Sasori's P.O.V

'Yeah you do.'I reaffirmed mentally.

But I was slightly distracted by the magnificently beautiful sight that had to have been a sign.

There in front of me was a field of nadeshiko's, and in the center was one-

Sakura
