"Sakura! Sakura!" I watch Tenten try, with futile attempt, to get the attention of the medic sitting across from me. What kind of ninja is she if she couldn't hear someone who was right beside her? I thought with slight impatient irritation. I too, am getting annoyed of the female.

Just as I was about to get her attention, just then did she turn her head.

"Huh? Did you say something Tenten?" Really, she should pay more attention. "Sakura, I have been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes!" said the brown haired weapon mistress with slight annoyance.

"Really? Sorry, I was just… thinking about something." replied the cherry haired medic, looking very distracted. "Well, you should eat your food. You hardly touched it. Are you alright?" Tenten asked with worry. I almost couldn't restrain to roll my eyes. Women. They worry about almost everything. Can't they ever mind their own business? Maybe she just wants to be alone? But I, myself, did not believe that that is the case.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." She was trying to brush it aside too quickly. I narrowed my eyes a little at her. She kept staring at something behind me. But there was nothing there but the counter and some stools! No one even sat there since we entered almost an hour ago!

She was just as weird as her teammates I thought, remembering the ridiculous antics they did, including their sensei. I immediately made a face of disgust at the thought of Kakashi blushing and giggling at whatever it was he was reading in that perverted book of his.

Then I suddenly remembered that there would be none of that happening anymore since the Copy-nin died last month. It was a shame that a great ninja died just like that.

And that made me think. Was her strange behavior connected to the death of her sensei?

I took a look at the female medic again to find her standing up from her seat. Tenten and Lee tried to get her to stay, but she declined saying she was tired, which she did look to be. But there seem to be another reason for her rush to leave.

Before leaving, she gave me a smile to which I had just nodded to. It surprised me a little, but smiling seemed part of her personality. But that was before… That was when they were alive.

If I see an image of her, I would immediately think she was the kind of girl who was bubbly, always smiling, a crybaby, and weak female. But again, that was before.

A short while later, I found myself staring at the now empty seat across from me. Not only that, I felt the urge to follow her. I had to battle with my thoughts on whether I should, or should not.

In the end, I stood up from my seat, ready to leave. My teammates looked at me. "Leaving already, Neji?" Gai-sensei asked. He too had been unusually quiet since Sakura came to sit with us.

I simply nodded my answer and started to the door. As I was about ready to step out, Gai-sensei called out "Keep her safe, Neji!"

And just as I thought he would not say a word anymore, he just had to add something else! "Don't do anything you'll regret, boy!" And then he grinned, flash blinding his teeth at me. He was back to his usual self.

I glared at him while Lee and Tenten gave us, mostly me, questioning looks. Heat threatened to rise to my cheeks, but I forced it down. What makes him think that I would do something! Just because I am going to be alone with her doesn't mean I'm going to… you know… do it.

I stomped out the entrance fuming with a scowl on my face, then inhaling to calm down. I jump up to the roof of the buildings and headed to the direction of her apartment.

I sped to catch up with her and it was not long before my eyes caught sight of pink hair.

Haruno Sakura walked through the streets of Konoha with a question repeating in her mind. What was it that she saw?

It could not possibly be a ghost… could it? She shook her head no as it was outrageous to thinks so. It was all in her mind. As she had said before, she has finally gone crazy.

She stopped in her tracks for a mid second, sensing a familiar presence. At finally realizing who the person was, she continued on her way knowing that the man would approach her later if he got tired of hiding.

And she was right because not two minutes later, the person jumped down ahead of her from his hiding place, waiting until they were side by side before walking in steady pace with her.

"Can I help you, Neji-san?" she spoke ever so softly. The said man remained silent, and never looked, nor glanced at the female. She was acting so formal and professional that it made him wonder if this was who the real Haruno Sakura was.

Back a few years ago, he had always belittled her, but only in his mind. It was not his place to tell her what he thought like he was someone better than her, even though he was better than her.

It was only silence for a few moments before Neji decided to speak.

"Is being tired the only reason you wanted to leave so early?" He interrogated her. The kunoichi gave an amused smile. "Did you come all the way here just to ask me that?"

Neji could not answer. Why did he come here? "That, and also, a gentleman would never let a lady walk home by herself at night." He could have patted himself on the back for thinking up a good reason, but since he wouldn't dare do so physically, he did it mentally.

"I appreciate the kind gesture." Then she added after a pause. "But I think I can take care of myself."

Halfway to their destination, she suddenly halted her steps. She felt another searing pain through her head.

An image appeared of two boys, one a few years older than the other, walking hand in hand in this exact same street. They were brothers, obvious from the same black hair. She couldn't see their faces, but again like the other she envisioned, she felt something familiar about the two. And then it was gone.

She lost her balance for a moment, the man accompanying her had to steady her. "What's wrong?" he asked, hiding his worry.

"I… It's nothing. I'm just tired… that's all." Neji raised an eyebrow, disbelieving. He won't believe it was the cause of fatigue. She couldn't be that tired. He could easily tell that she was hiding something, and his suspicions of her were rising. But he won't question her, at least for the time being.

She couldn't tell him the truth. She didn't even know what it was that happened. What was with her? The pain finally receded, and she finally stood with the help of Neji.

They walked wordlessly all the way to her apartment, and by arriving, the male ANBU captain waited for her to open her door before turning to walk to his home.

"Goodnight, Neji-san! Thanks for walking me home!" Sakura called out. He just raised a hand in reply, not even turning around. She hurriedly entered her apartment and quickly, but quietly closed the door, sliding her back to it.

Her head was in pain again! She shut her eyes tight at the excruciating pain and held both hands to her head in attempt to ease it.

She repeatedly banged her head to the door, each time harder and harder until blood trailed down the side of her face. She couldn't feel anything but the headache.

She didn't care of the blood, only wanting to ease the pain. She could do nothing but grit her teeth, not able to stand it! There was another scene that appeared in her mind.

It was of another boy, standing unmoving in the harsh rain. He was staring, just fixedly staring over the memorial. It was not long before he suddenly dropped to his knees and repeatedly hit the ground with his balled fists. Sakura felt guilt and anger surge through with such overwhelming power that it felt like she was suffocating.

He was shouting something. At first she couldn't hear him, then his voice became loud, and then louder like someone had just turned up the volume. He kept shouting a name. 'Obito!' he vociferated in extreme agony and pain. She realized that she was feeling whatever the boy was feeling.

She wanted to shout. To shout the name to somehow release the pain and guilt. She saw him cry, and she cried with him. Then once more, it was the end.

She found herself on the floor, profusely sweating again and breathing hard, finally becoming conscious of the blood that dripped down from her face to the wooden floor of her apartment. The pain vanished as quickly as it came.

But there was something else on her mind. "The boy… that boy'' She whispered, harshly breathing. She remembered his tearstained face look at her before he vanished. Though she hadn't seen it for years, she knew those eyes. Silver hair, a masked face, and unmatching eyes, there is no doubt that the boy is…

"K-Kakashi… sensei…?" She breathed out the name before she lost consciousness.

Hmm… What are these visions she keeps having? Could it simply be her mind just making up images, or is it rather the memories of the past that haunts her so?

Ok, I just kind of just repeated the summary! What? I had nothing else to say! Please review!
