A/N: This is Sakura's introduction. The first chapter should be up soon. I forgot to mention that this story has spoilers for chapters 437+, so I'm really sorry if you were spoiled.
(Sakura`s Prologue)
Beneath the darkening sky, two birds fly together in complete
synchronization, moving as if they are one, united in body and mind. A forlorn
girl witnesses this sight, which only further saddens her.
She longed to be with a companion, just as were the birds. What pained her most
was that she already had a companion; a friend who had always been with her.
The only problem was that she did not want him as he wanted her. He would always
be ready for the moment she realized how much he meant to her. But she already
had...it just wasn't the way he wanted. She wanted with all her might to reciprocate
his love - after all he had been through he deserved it - but she could not, for
her heart belonged to another.
Sakura Haruno stared into the deep, dark sky through her bedroom window,
grasping her most beloved photo with all of her might. The photograph of Team
Seven: Naruto, Sasuke, and herself. Naruto...
Naruto had done so much for her. He had comforted her when no one else could; he
had been there for her countless times. She wanted more than anything to repay
her debt to him, but when the time came, she was not able to kill Sasuke Uchiha.
Part of the reason for this was her feelings for Sasuke. Even after Sasuke
had abandoned her, spurned her affections, and even tried to kill her, she could
not let go of her love for this man. She clung blindly to the hope that someday
she and Naruto would be able to bring Sasuke back home.
She silently ridiculed herself. She needed to stop thinking like a child: in
the real world, hope didn't exist: only reality. And in order to make her dream
a reality, she would need to, once again, take matters in her own hands. Only
this time, she would be strong enough to face Sasuke and bring him back.
This she promised herself.
