Every night Sakura would lie in her bed.

She would just lie there and think.

Think about everyday they spent together.

Every day she would try to get him to smile.

Then Sakura thought of the day Sasuke did smile.

The day when it was raining, and she was dancing.

Dancing in the rain.

And then she stopped, took his hand, and started dancing with him.

Or you could say, her dancing, while holding his hand.

And for just a split second as she was turning, she saw it.

Saw the very famous, non-emotional, Sasuke smile.

But when she finished her spin and looked at him again

(making sure she wasn't imagining it)

It was gone.

Just. Like. That.

So she just kept on dancing.

Till he pulled her away, mumbling a "your gonna get sick"

Sakura laughed at the memory. Only to think, what if he did loved her. That's why he smiled, that's why he didn't want her to get sick.

But the thought vanished.

Almost like how a magician vanishes other people.

And Sakura thought, no he couldn't have loved her.

Cause if he did.

Sasuke wouldn't have left. Or he would have brought her with him.

So she cried.

At the though of the day.

That day.

The day when Team 7 lost the true meaning of team.

The day when Sasuke left.

Left the Hidden Leaf Village.

Left Team 7.

Left Sakura.

"Why won't you tell me anything?" She asked

"Why do I have to tell you anything?" He said. "It's none of your business."

And he walked, just kept walking.

"Do you remember…the day we became genin and when our three-member team was first chosen?" she continued. "The day you and I were here alone, you got mad at me remember?"

"I don't remember."

"That's the day when everything started…" Sakura said. "You and I… And also Naruto and Kakashi-sensei." She started staling. Just tried every possible way to keep him here. Just a little bit longer.

Then the shadow of the clouds cover the moonlight.

"I'm different from you guys. I walk a different path than you guys." He spoke.

"Are you going to choose to be alone again?!"

"I have family, and I have friends," And she cried. "But if you're gone…to me…" "It'll be the same as being alone!"

"I love you so much!!"

"I'll help you with your revenge. I'll do something! So please stay here…with me!" She continued to cry.

"If you can't stay here…" the moon slowly shone again. "Take me with you." She whispered, almost as if that was the answer to everything. "Take me with you Sasuke!" She yelled

"Sakura…"

"Thank you"

And that was all Sakura could remember.

Nothing more, nothing less.

And so.

She cried. Cried herself to sleep.

And when she did fall asleep, Sakura dreamt of what could have happened if he stayed.

With her.
