Cherry Blossoms
It had been three years since he had left. Three long painful years Konoha lasted without Uchiha Sasuke. They had been most painful to the 15 year old Haruno Sakura. She had been the one who had truly loved him, and was the last one to see him leave the village. She told him how she felt, but Sasuke didn't care. He just shut her out of his life.
One day while Sakura sitting in the cherry blossom orchard, a signal flower fell from the tree. It landed right in her lap, and looked at it. This one didn't look right… almost, fake! She picked it up, and felt that it was a folded piece of paper. She unfolded it and read, 'I'm back…'.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat, knowing who the note came from. She folded the paper back the way it was, and stood up. She looked up into the tree, a tree branch shook, and leaves fell from it. A shadowy figure flew over her towards the forest. She decided to chase it and took off after it.
She finally caught up with it, seeing that it had raven hair. She jumped at it, and tackled him. "SASKUE-KUN!" she looked at what she was on top of and it was a log. She looked up and saw him running off, "What was that?" "Replacement jutsu." he added, landing in a tree.
"I know that! Why did you do it?" She looked up at the tree.
"Cause I can." he smirked.
She glared, "Come here! I want to see you're face." She looked up at the tree.
Sasuke removed a forehead protector and jumped down. His hair was the same but longer, but that was all that was the same. The hatred and seriousness had been removed from his eyes, his face was more mature, and he no longer wore a blue Uchiha shirt with white shorts. His shirt was black and had the Uchiha symbol on his arm, and he wore black pants also. He had a scar over his right eye and one on each cheek. There was one on his neck, and lots on his arms.
Sasuke studied his former teammate carefully. Her hair was still pink, and her eyes were still green. Her hair was long again, but the seriousness that was in his eyes… went into hers… She had grown taller. She wore a blue shirt with a long white skirt. She had a faint blue color eye shadow and redish orangeish lip gloss. Her nails were painted periwinkle. She was different than the Sakura he had known three years ago.
"Sasuke-kun…" Sakura took a step closer to him, and like a scared rabbit, he disappeared into the tree.
"Don't get near me." He said coldly.
She looked up in the tree, "Why?" "Just don't! I only went down there to show you what I looked like. Nothing more than that." He sat down in the tree and replaced his forehead protector.
"Sasuke-kun…." She looked at the ground, her Konoha forehead protector facing him, "Fine. Be rude." she ran off without saying another word He looked where she ran off to, but didn't move, "How can I tell her if I can't get near her?" he closed his eyes.
Sakura ran through Konoha and knocked on Naruto's door. He opened it and looked at her. His hair was still blonde and spiky, and his eyes were still blue, but he now looked more like Yondaime. He was more mature than he was three years ago, "Sakura-chan?" She flung her arms around him in a friendly way, "He's back…" Naruto's eyes grew wide, "Sasuke's back?" Sakura nodded, "He's different now… I'm worried…" "Don't worry. He's the great Uchiha! He'll be fine." Naruto smiled at her.
"Arigatou, Naruto." She let go and smiled back. Then turned around and left, "I'm still worried though…"
That's it for chapter 1!
