Sakura puts duty before honor, and honor before love, except for when she doesn't.

We all make mistakes and he's no exception. Warning slight drabble.

[ShikaIno, drabble] Shikamaru gets what he wants, except when he doesn't.

The world around her is monotone black paint on a white canvas... [sky, sea, sunlight] She cannot escape the gray.

And she will carry out every mission flawlessly.

She is a dreamer at heart, and that is something a Hyuuga should never be.

For once in his life, Hyuuga Neji thinks he can break free.

Being a kunoichi is being able to change the world despite the heartbreak.

You're too late you know, she murmurs silently, Too late to save anyone. I know, he finally says, as if any loud noise will break her, will make this world shatter right before him. But that can't happen anymore...it already has.

SasuSaku for copecetic. She'd trade in anything for him, even if she got nothing in return.

Being a kunoichi is being more than part of someone else's story.

Oneshot. Hanabi wonders, sometimes, if she really is the strong one.

[Manga based, Haruno Sakura character study, oneshot] She's a collector of monsters and strays, which is strange because you wouldn't know it if you looked at her.

After Sasuke's betrayal, Ino visits Sakura.

Maybe we all go a little mad sometimes. Maybe everything needs to go up in flames sometimes. Maybe Sasuke should have paid more attention to her than he did this time...

Some things you can't change, no matter how hard you try. Then all you can do is leave behind your childhood dreams and hope it doesn't hurt too much. [one shot]

Being a kunoichi is being more than the sum of your parts.

Being a kunoichi is being a blade sheathed in silk.
