Chapter 2: Shadows
Sakura's eyes shifted quickly. A Shadow glowed from above. As the shadow closed in onto them, Sakura saw...
"Hey Sasuke! Sasuke, over here! Look its Sakura!" Naruto waved excitedly at the shadowed figure.
A shadowed figure turned into a solid one. A 6 foot man came into the setting sky. Sasuke was standing there. Standing right in front of Sakura. Staring at Sakura. At the Sakura he didn't recognize. The one who had changed completely after three and a half years.
She looked at him in shock. She didn't want to see him. She wanted to forget him. Yet at the sight of him she simply couldn't look away. She wanted to so badly but she couldn't do it. She just stared. She didn't say anything, she just stared.
"Sasuke! I was just about to go back to get you. I knew this time I'd have to bring you back or I'd never forgive myself. But you came back on your own ruining my plans. –As you always did-" grumbled Naruto.
"Hmph," He replied. He couldn't take his eyes off Sakura for an unknown reason.
"Hey Sasuke since your back want to come over to my place for dinner? Hinata is making my favorite, Ramen, at the apartment!"
Sasuke's Eyes narrowed in a questioning manner. Since when was Naruto and Hinata, well it didn't matter. "Sure" He had nothing better to do anyway.
"What about you Sakura-san? Will you come too? I would be glad and I bet Hinata would be glad to see you."
Sakura didn't answer. She just sat there on her doorstep, unsure of what to do.
"... Sorry Naruto, but I can't go."
"Aww... Sakura-chan... I really would've hoped you could've made it. Aw, well then I'll see you in a little while Sasuke. Bye Sakura-san." Naruto said as he stood up to leave. "I better get home so I don't worry Hinata-chan" Naruto waved slightly as he ran off. Leaving her alone with him.

He watched as Naruto ran off. As soon as he was out of sight, his eyes immediately shifted onto her. He just stared.
She looked so much different. Her hair hung just above her knees. She looked so much thinner and her facial features were much bolder. She was attractive in a way but also not in the way she used to. She didn't have a smile on her face. Her eyes looked faded and were glazed with old memories. Her eyelids shown signs of insomnia and her cheek bones stood out slightly from malnutrition.
He felt worried for some reason but at the moment had no idea why. He wanted to say something to her but just couldn't seem to get it out.
(I must look stupid standing here just staring at her)
---
She didn't want to see him. Not now. Not ever. But she couldn't get her eyes off of him. She just stared.
He hadn't changed much. His hair was slightly longer but his style was the same. His bangs hung over his face hiding his emotions and facial expressions from others, while the back of his hair hung lower from length but still in the upward spiked position it had been in back then. His face was slightly older and well matured. His muscles were perfectly proportioned to his body and he had grown a sums worth. He was wearing an off-white kimono tightly wrapped with a black band of silken fabric around his waist. His clothes were the same as when Naruto, Sai, and herself attempted to bring him back that time. The same time when she had decided to give up on him and others.
She glared at him. She didn't want him to be here. Yet at the same time she did. She wanted to hate him but at the same time she still loved him. Why had he come back now? Just as she had accepted the new self she saw when she looked at the mirror. Just as she had given up on a purpose in life. She felt tears welling up into her eyes but forced them to stay inside.
---
They stared for a while, neither knowing what to do or say.
Finally Sakura stood up. She had nothing to say and did not plan to say anything. She turned away from him and she shut the door; only leaving a shadow in her place.
