Red
Sakura knelt in front of the memorial stone, clad in smooth red kimono.
Red.
The color of her suffering, of her sorrow.
Red.
Like Sasuke's blood on her hands when she tried to heal him after Itachi stabbed him.
Red.
Like the last, long, dying stare she got from her sensei, the unblinking, bright look of his scarlet and onyx sharingan eye.
Red.
Like Lee's headband, laid on his coffin during the funeral.
Red.
Like the swirl on the back of Naruto's jacket, the last thing she saw of him, before they came to tell her he died during a mission.
Red.
Like curtains in the bedroom the day she came home, and found her parents dead.
Red.
Like the flowers on the bedside table of Ino's bed in the hospital, the flowers she never saw because of her coma.
Red.
Like blood, like flesh, like sunsets.
I thought about red, like tomatoes on Shikamaru/Neji/Chouji's last meal, but then I thought it would seem somewhat… weird. What do you think?
Sorry there is just a few of red things. Lack of ideas.
