He sat with her on the bed, listening to her ramble on about her childhood. It was interesting to see where she came from, especially since she had been such a different person compared to everyone she met.
Sakura talked about how the kids used to make fun of her for her forehead, how she barely knew her parents, how it seemed like she would never find love and she was always faking things out. But that changed one day – the day that she'd found him and had fallen in love.
Despite Naruto being her friend or Sasuke being that boy she crushed on for so long before she was crushed in return, she always found home here with him – with Kakuzu. People may ask why at times, but for some reason, she could just get the feeling that anyone in the world would risk their life for someone, and he was that one person that she was paired up exactly with, where they'd just go on if the other died.
But why move on?
It was because they wished the best for each other. They wanted each other to be happy, and if that meant sacrificing the feelings of a loved one, they'd do it. There would be the day that they would face such terribly conflicts and consequences, but they understood that it would just have to happen and they'd move on.
But no matter what pain the couple went through, Sakura and Kakuzu loved each other, and the talk of childhood memories and the silly things that happened back then didn't matter, because all that mattered was that they had each other.
