014: Omen
Requested by: pink-cherry-005
前兆
Just leave the talking to me, she had said to them. She shouldered every ounce of responsibility with those words, and she accepted the responsibility with her pride. In fact, it wasn't until she was questioned as to how she was going to handle the situation that Sakura grew into a withdrawal of her own little world—and she hardly ever stepped out from it since.
One would think that the heavily bustled noise from the blizzard around them and the voices shouting to-and-fro between it would be enough to drive their thoughts into the near corner of their concerns; however, to Sakura this didn't seem to be a problem. With a situation like hers, there was no time for distractions and there was certainly no time to waste.
What was she to say to him? Oh, there was too much to say; too many meaningless apologies to offer; too much to begin from; too much to consider.
All the more, whether she felt the uttermost guilt on her part and whether she felt confused, even, was nothing of her greatest concerns. All that mattered was reaching Naruto. Though, deep down, regardless of her final decision, there was still one thing probing between every jumbled scrap and draft in her mind.
He's in love with me.
He was in love with her.
He loves me . . .
He loved her, and—dare she admit it—she honestly believed that she did too.

Author's Note:
I cannot begin to explain how much trouble this simple little theme caused me.
This is the reason why I skipped a near week or two of updating—simply because I was stuck in a rut about how/what I was going to do about writing for Omen. Let me also tell you that pink-cherry-005 personalized the theme a little as well, only to offer me an idea of what she wished to see reflected onto her request. While I may have not taken every personalization and incorporated it into this, I took the main concept—which was Sakura's thoughts before her confession in the manga. I hope this is okay, pink-cherry. Not to mention that Solacement is based on fluff—thus meaning that I had to eliminate Sakura's newfound guilt and the irony in her confession. It added onto my difficulty, haha.
I think that in the end this turned out better than I had imagined and thus, I hope that you all enjoyed it.
Request Notice:
For the time's being, I shall be closing the request bank.
I currently have ten themes in waiting, and I wish first get through with those before adding onto the list. I also do not want to keep any more of you waiting, knowing that my summer ( along with many others ) has come to an end for the remainder of 2011. If any of you really don't mind the wait, feel free to leave a theme regardless of what I just said; I'm simply trying to save you all from a three month wait ( at worst ). I offer my many thanks to those of you who have left requests in the past! I appreciate you so much and I enjoy your sets of challenging themes.
I love you all and I wish you a fabulous weekend ~
My inbox is so lonely nowadays but I still smile when I see that exceptional review.
