Sakura quickly took her shower and got dressed. She combed her hair and looked into the mirror to see her reflection. The same familiar girl looked back at her with the same piercing emerald green eyes.
Sakura stared at the mirror a little longer noticing something different about herself this morning.
Normally, when Sasuke was still around, Sakura would stand in front of the mirror every morning for as long
as an hour everyday, trying to think of ways to make herself prettier to catch Sasuke's eye.
She did all she could manage in an hour by combing her hair and dressing in different outfits but she
always ended up choosing the same red one in the end. Other girls would usually try using make up and perfume
but she knew better than that to try it.
She was a ninja after all. Make up would be useless as she often went on missions.
I mean could you imagine wearing lipstick and eye shadow during missions, you would probably look like
a whore or one of the yearly calender girls.
Perfume was worst, that would give your scent off to the enemy.

Sakura stared into the mirror again trying to think of what was so different about her.
Since Sasuke had left, Sakura rarely looked into the mirror but she knew that she had gotten paler and seemed
sick to anyone who saw her.
That was part of the reason why she rarely stared at the mirror like she usually did. She was afraid to see the sadness in her eyes as they stared back at her. She often cried when she thought of Sasuke but as the days went on, she stopped crying but the look in her eyes were enough to remind her of Sasuke.
But today, there was something different about her. Something different about her eyes.
As she stared into them, she noticed that they were the shade of bright emeralds in the sun with a flicker of hope and no longer the sad and empty dull eyes which usually stared back at her.
'But why........? My eyes have never shone so brightly since Sasuke left,'she thought to herself.
Sakura then thought back to her dream. 'It can't be, it was just a dream. And I can't even remember his face,'she thought to herself again.
As she stared into the mirror again she thought of the many possibilities about her dream.
One, the dream was a flash back.
Two, it was just a dream.
Sakura went trough it over and over again in her head but still she couldn't think of the answer.
"Sakura, what are you doing up there? Hurry up or you'll be late for your lesson with the Tsunade-sama,"shouted her mother from the kitchen.
"Okay,"said Sakura as she rushed out of the house to find Tsunade.
' What am I doing, I shouldn't be pondering on stupid dreams. I should be training,'thought Sakura to herself as she saw Tsunade waiting for her near the Hokage monument.

"Sakura, hurry up. We were supposed to go to the restaurant together after your practice,"said Ino as she stepped next to Sakura after spotting her lying on a bench looking exausted.
"Oh...It's you Ino. Sorry, I almost forgot,"said Sakura as she spotted Ino next to her.
Ino had been nice to her lately. She had been trying to cheer Sakura up.
After Sasuke had left, Sakura had seeemed more of a zombie to her than a human.
Ino and Sakura were rivals. They fought for almost everything.
Their relationship with one another seemed of weird to those around them.
One minute they were at each others throats, and the next they were caring childhood friends.
"Well, since you're done with your training, let's go,"said Ino sounding encouraging.
"Okay,"said Sakura as they walked to the newly opened restaurant.

They sat down and ordered their food. As they were being served they saw a group of girls pass them and sitting down at the table next to them.
Sakura and Ino immediately recognised them. They were one of the many group of girls that were helplessly in love with Sasuke.
(space)(space)(space)
The girls walked in the newly opened restaurant to see two of their love rivals sitting together.
They walked pass them and sat at the table next to them. The girls held a small discussion and decided to play a prank on Sakura and Ino to teach them a lesson to stay away from Sasuke.
The girls walked over to Ino and Sakura's table.
(space)(space)(space)
Sakura and Ino watched as the group of girls sat down and started discussing something.
They often looked their way with mischieviuos smug grins.
After sometime, they walked over to Sakura and Ino's table.
"Hi. My friends and I were wondering if you would care to join us?"asked one of the girls.
Sakura and Ino looked at each other knowing that it'll be a bad idea to join them but it'll be an even worse idea to reject them as they were infamous for making big issues out of small incidents.
"Ehm.......okay,"said Sakura a little hesitantly as she and Ino walked over to their table.
