The sky was crying; tears were falling down from the heavens, just like her. Wet cherry blossoms were falling from the tall trees to the wet and muddy ground. Clear drops of water were shed, sliding to her cheeks. The melancholy moment was happening slowly. Her friends and she, all in black, Respect it was showing. The sadness was surrounding them. It was filling the air. It was hung in their lungs. She was still crying. Her parents death… caused by the one she loves… or so the letter said.
Something… someone… somewhere…
Something was wrong… something was happening…
Someone is watching… someone is watching her…
Somewhere distant… he was there… watching her cry… watching her with anger, sadness and regret… watching her, hands running through his hair…
He was gone.
He ran faster, away from this place. Away from her crying figure…
She stopped. She felt something… someone… someone familiar. She turned around. Watery eyes scanned the surroundings. Nothing. It was dark so, all of them went home. She came back here. Stared at the tombstone.
She angrily looked up. Eyes secretly wanted to pierce kunais in the anbu's throat.
"What do you want?" she asked irritably.
"Uchiha Sa-sasuke, a-class missing Nin…" he started, trying hard not to be affected by the scary, death-bringing glares of the hokage.
"What about him?" she asked, resuming to her work.
"…We found him this afternoon at the gates… Full of blood." The anbu straightened his poise.
"What room?" she asked rather bluntly.
"305 ma'am. Sakura is assign—"
"No… I'll be there after this… Don't tell sakura he's here—"
"But ma'am… Sakura's already there…"
Tsunade's eyes widened… No… Sakura can't be there… She's…
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah… Then we'll head there after that"
Rushing through the hallways, Her hair billowing slightly, She sighed. 'She would never let anyone she knows get hurt anymore… not even him.' She sighed again, exasperated, 'And I thought she couldn't care less about him.'
"Anything wrong Shizune-chan?" Sakura asked caringly at her companion.
Shaking her head slightly, she tried to catch up to her and somehow didn't manage to do so. Sakura, noticing this, slowed her pace.
"You're really getting old…" She alleged mordantly.
A vein popped at her companion's temple, seeing this, she waved her hands freely in front of her, smiling apologetically. Shizune calmed down a little and smiled at her.
"Well, we're here!" Sakura cried enthusiastically, knocking on the door slowly.
"We must hurry sakura-chan… we don't want Tsunade-sama to get mad at us." Shizune said, cringing at the thought.
"Don't worry Shizune-chan! It'll be just a minute!" she said as a voice inside told them to come in.
'Why did I came back again?'
Because of her smiles and her frowns…
'Why did I made this decision?'
Because of her tears and her laughs…
'Why did I changed my mind?'
Because of her extraordinary aura and her inhuman beauty…
'Why did I—'
Because you—…
"So all you need to do is try to stop yourself from stressing too much!" Sakura said perceptively at him.
"But sakura-chan… I need to train more to become the next hokage!" Naruto whined.
Hinata shyly helped sakura pack her things. Tsunade asked her to watch naruto over; afraid he might escape again.
"You wanna be the next hokage or not?"
"I wan—"
"Then follow my instructions so you won't die early!" Sakura ended.
Naruto grumbled, sakura hearing a few words about her "being so rude" and "torturing him."
"Say anything you wanna say, I'm just making sure you'll be ready to be the next hokage."
And with this, naruto's face lightened up and Hinata blushed.
"Well Hinata-chan, make sure he'll survive, 'kay?" Sakura playfully winked at the blushing girl.
"Feh!" naruto pouted and looked mischievously at Hinata.
"Well, Bye to you two!" Sakura waved. Shizune bowed at the two and followed sakura out the door.
"Well, where next?" inquired sakura, yawning.
"Room 305…" Sakura nodded and continued her stride.
"Why the hell did you assigned her there?"
The anbu nervously backed away from the exploding Mt. Tsunade.
"Did I told you to assign her there?"
"b-but m-ma'am… uh… eh… S-sakura-sama w-was the o-only medic-nin a-available…" The anbu muttered fretfully.
Walking slowly, Shizune shook her head…
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'
Sakura saw the look on her face and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be troubled?"
Shizune shrugged and smiled halfheartedly. Sakura sighed. Shizune now came back to reality and realized that they reached their destination. 'Wow… Must be a very important person, ne?" Sakura whispered to Shizune, who nodded in return.
"Well?" sakura asked, looking at the two persons in front of her and Shizune.
Two anbus guarding the door nodded and opened the door slowly.
'Why did I came back again?'
Because of her smiles and her frowns…
'Why did I made this decision?'
Because of her tears and her laughs…
'Why did I changed my mind?'
Because of her extraordinary aura and her inhuman beauty…
'Why did I—'
Because you love her…
That's what changed your mind…
That's what changed your heart…
