#01 - Ring
The first thing he saw was the white circle upon her back, and he knew that something was wrong since her long pink locks no longer hid it from view.

#02 - Hero
At twelve he was her hero, at fifteen he was her enemy.

#03 - Memory
Some nights, when he was still in Oto, he would curse his memory for replaying his farewell to her over and over.

#04 - Box
Sakura was the one who packed all of his belongings into boxes so that his apartment could be sold, but she kept the smallest one - the one that held the few mementoes from before the massacre - under her bed.

#05 - Run
She had been running for hours and was almost at the end of her rope, but the winged boy chasing her showed no signs of letting up.

#06 - Hurricane
He was gone, and the small town looked like a hurricane had destroyed it; using suiton jutsu was the only way to put out the fires he caused.

#07 - Wings
They were leathery and grotesque, but Sakura couldn't peel her eyes from them.

#08 - Cold
She didn't know what she had been expecting, but after nearly three years his coldness surprised her more than she thought it would have.

#09 - Red
Sakura always wondered about the red in his family's crest- the blue was somber and the white was pure, but red meant so many different things.

#10 - Drink
She rubbed her hand up and down his throat, forcing him to swallow the drink that would end his life.

#11 - Midnight
It was midnight, she noticed, and he had left exactly twenty-four hours ago.

#12 - Temptation
She offered him one last temptation that night; his response was a quick blow to the base of her neck.

#13 - View
From his position on the ledge he couldn't see the pain in her eyes, only the surprise.

#14 - Music
He had picked it up in Oto, he explained one night as he played a low-pitched flute in hopes that it would lull her to sleep.

#15 - Silk
The battlefield was no place for such delicate fabrics, her mind screamed as she tore his shirt with a kunai.

#16 - Cover
She was terrified; two strong shinobi heading for her, but when he slid in to cover her, her inner self chided her for being weak.

#17 - Promise
She held the kunai against the pumping pulse in his neck as she jabbed her knee into his back, she would keep her end of the promise - he would come back.

#18 - Dream
She woke up screaming before burying her face in her hands and sobbing, it was that dream again.

#19 - Candle
The wax was hot and burned his skin, but she ran her finger through it down his torso as if the heat was nothing more than lukewarm.

#20 - Talent
He knew she was talented, that's why he complimented her, and he swore that there was nothing to it beyond that.

#21 - Silence
The silence between them stretched out for hours, neither one sure enough of their thoughts to risk bearing all to the other.

#22 - Journey
She had been trying to organize her thoughts about seeing Sasuke so soon, but Sai and Naruto's constant bickering on their way to the bridge kept her busy keeping them in check so that Yamato wouldn't waste any more chakra than necessary.

#23 - Fire
As she watched the weak stream of fire flow from her son's mouth she brought her hands together, but when her husband kneeled down and wrapped his arms around his son she brought her hands to her lips and hid her smile.

#24 - Strength
She smirked and choked back her laughter as she watched her husband fall to the floor in the fetal position - her daughter had inherited her strength.

#25 - Mask
She saw his expression change before he came at her with his Kusanagi, and she wondered if he was simply putting on another mask of indifference.

#26 - Ice
She noticed him slip on the ice and smirked before turning her attention back to the film crew - they were filming the kiss scene.

#27 - Fall
The sand holding her loosened and he only thought of being there to break her fall.

#28 - Forgotten
She lay on their bed and wondered if any other brides had ever felt forgotten on their wedding night.

#29 - Dance
The music was the clanging of metal against metal, their labored breathing, and the shuffling of their feet; the dance floor was a battlefield.

#30 - Body
His deep red blood only made the white of his skin stand out more she decided as she spread her hands over his body, looking for the wound.

#31 - Sacred
He led her up to the shrine and before sliding the tatami mat from its place, informed her that she was about to see the most sacred part of Uchiha clan history.

#32 - Farewells
He was never one for lengthy farewells, if any, but he never denied her a kiss and an embrace before setting out for missions.

#33 - World
He had seen more of the world than she would ever know, but all he needed now was for her to exist in it.

#34 - Formal
She knew Sasuke had a strict and traditional upbringing, but seeing him in his kimono the night he formally asked her parents for her hand in marriage she realized that even the years of living without such guidelines he held them close to his heart.

#35 - Fever
She was exhausted and was running out of cool water for the cloths, but his fever still kept rising.

#36 - Laugh
As their son giggled at his father's show of skill Sakura wondered if Sasuke laughed like that when he was a baby.

#37 - Lies
He never lied to her after she kicked his butt before dragging him back to Konoha with Naruto; he figured she deserved that much respect.

#38 - Forever
There could never be a "forever" with Sasuke, just as many days together as possible.

#39 - Overwhelmed
She seethed and was very close to letting her inner self out when Sasuke stated that he was overwhelmed with enough responsibilities without having to take care of their children while she went off to buy fish to practice medical jutsu on.

#40 - Whisper
He thought she was asleep, so he whispered into her ear before turning onto his other side and falling asleep - Sakura was thankful for the darkness.

#41 - Wait
He had never been one for waiting, but he had to admit he kept letting his squad members get their check-ups before him because he was nervous about his wife's reaction upon seeing the bruises he had collected during the mission.

#42 - Talk
He preferred not to talk, and she realized that she tended to babble, so they skipped past the proper phrases and went straight to sex.

#43 - Search
All the hallways looked the same, but when she saw Sai looking up into the sky she knew her search was over.

#44 - Hope
He wasn't sure why he didn't push her away from him, but he hoped that she wouldn't think there was a deeper meaning to it.

#45 - Eclipse
She always pestered him about what his life would be like after he eclipsed his brother, but it served to remind him that she would stand by him when the time came.

#46 - Gravity
The gravity of the situation was obvious, but he didn't know if he should bring her broken and bleeding body to Konoha or Oto.

#47 - Highway
Most people thought Sasuke wore the pants in the family, but the few that knew the truth knew it was actually Sakura's way or the highway.

#48 - Unknown
Tsunade once asked her why she liked to look out into the unknown; Sakura replied it was because she knew Sasuke was out there, somewhere.

#49 - Lock
It would be nothing more than child's play to break the lock on his cell door and rush in to see him, but she knew her duty to her village came first, and she cursed her profession.

#50 - Breathe
Sakura blushed and Sasuke scowled; Tsunade chuckled as she told Sakura that it was alright to get lost in the thrill of it all, but that she should remember to breathe.
