Summary: Sakura would always be there for her friends.

Written because I can't stand it when authors make Sakura and/or Ino bitches to each other; they're best friends dammit! Oh, and I miss you Asuma-sensei!


'Why would anyone be here this early?' Kakashi's ears perked as he approached the Memorial Stone.

He caught sight of two kunoichi gathered at its base.

"Asuma-sensei was… he's…" Ino sobbed into her friend's chest.

Sakura pulled her friend closer; her heart ached for her friend and their tears mixed.

'What can I say? If it were Kakashi-sensei…'

When she felt Ino's embrace tighten, Sakura understood – being there would be enough.

Kakashi's head lowered, a proud smile forming; Sakura still remembered his first lesson.

'Obito…Rin… it looks like I'll be late. Don't worry; this time, I've got a good excuse.'
