Silver Lining: 11:03 am


The affair between Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke was so overwhelming. It had put an impact on everyone's day and so over told that everyone around them would tell one and other that they heard from Sakura herself about when she dumped Sasuke because he told her she was fat.

Even some gossip made-believes consisted him practicing his Katon near her apartment and had accidentally burning it. Even some had Sakura decided to want more popularity amongst the other young men but breaking up with the most handsome guy in all of the Fire Countries. Some whisperers had exaggerated a little and said that Sakura had threw him out of the window, some even witnessed the fight they had in one part of the village, others had said Sasuke broke up with her, some cocky men had even said that Sasuke had to break up with her when she was caught in bed with one of them, and more so, some of the most boldest had pulled one of Sakura's very close friends into their gathering gossiping groups and forced them to tell them everything.

But everything that Ino had said to the crowd had always started with a deadly fiery intense glare and at the end with her clutched fist connected to someone's nose, which made everyone back off.

Sakura sighed sadly when endless phone calls came from everywhere around the Hidden Leaf from men who wanted her for dates and more, but none of them could compare to the one she had from her mother Haruno Junko who was screaming through the line with millions of terrifying old maid or spinster cook stories and how she'll never have grandchildren—she hastily pulled the phone cord and just went elsewhere before people started knocking on her door to see the supposed tear stains on her red puffy face.

You'll never know when the words of your biggest event in your life have spread across your village.

Shall we find out how it had all spread?

First it was Shikamaru, who told his teammates Kiba and Neji (and Akamaru), who Kiba had told his older sister and Akamaru had told the rest of the ninja dogs in the Inuzuka Household, who in turn told their owners, Hana (Older sister of Kiba) had told their mother Inuzuka Etsuko who told her best friend Aburame Kiku, who told her husband Saito and to his old colleague Hyuuga Hiashi, who asked Hinata, who was flustered and accidentally spoke too loud, which spread to her nosy sister Hanabi who was screaming about it throughout the entire Hyuuga Estate, every Byakugan member went off into their own business and told their friends, which spread to Neji who immediately closed the door on the young girl and growled about it near his window, which was overheard by their Genin gardener, Geppetto, who ran to tell his neighbor Koharu, a member in the Konoha Board of Elders, who shockingly cried it to the rest of the members who boasted it straight to Kotetsu and Izumo, who were both Elite Chuunin Messengers had boringly told it to the sleeping drooling Godaime Hokage herself, who woke up abruptly and told visiting Jiraiya who grinned wickedly as he went to the village escort house to tell the young women there, and Slug-Sannin Tsunade had also angrily screamed at it to Shizume who blushingly told Genma who in turn told Morino Ibiki, who rolled his eyes and whispered it sadistically towards his younger brother at brunch, who couldn't keep a secret to save his life and exclaimed it to a pack of his racing friends, who was eavesdropped on by Rock Lee (who spluttered on his drink) and Tenten, who was actually relieved not to hear any more Gai-sensei-is-so-great stories, who the two told Neji instantly who shut the door on them as quickly, then moved onto the Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha, Maito Gai, who did his Good Guy Pose to everyone around him, who eventually was overheard by Sarutobi Asuma and his nephew Konohamaru, who ran away to tell snot-nose Udon and adorable Moegi who laughed about it in front of the Closet-Pervert Ebisu who told the same off-color joke to flirt with attractive Yuuhi Kurenai who murmured it to her subordinate Shino (who had in fact in no interest of it), but told it to a few of his Kikai Bugs who had scattered around the village, and telling more of the Inuzuka nin dogs (the mutts that didn't know) and had told other ninja pets, like Pakkun and his buddy search dogs, who told it to passing (yet stuffing potato chips in his mouth) Akimichi Chouji who just ate and walked simultaneously while all around him everyone was talking about the biggest gossip of their lives…

Oh, and the fastest messenger falcon from the Sand Village, had received a letter written by Tsunade who was signing contract papers with the Kazekage (but had very accidentally and absentmindedly had written down on the corner of the paper of a small scribbled note of what happened in Konoha), who in turn had Gaara-sama blinking a few times before whispering it nonchalantly to his older brother Kankuro who choked on his curry rice and cursed about it to Temari before she left for the mission in Konohagakure with Baki and the rest of her team, who was evidently was going to visit Shikamaru there…

Soon everyone in the Sand Village knew then later it was gossiped in the Hidden Cloud, the Hidden Stone, the Hidden Mist, the rest of the Five Countries and more of the other non-shinobi villages, towns, and cities. Everywhere and everyone with their own made-up storylines of what they thought had happened that had included youkai, dragons, water sprites, and the burst of fairy lights was all layered in between the unknown truth.

"How pathetic…" the Nara lazyass growled irritatingly when the first twelve words had seeped through his mouth had caused this crazy line of gossips and made-believe stories, "What the hell have I done…?"

No sooner would his fiancé's fist connect with his blabbering mouth.


"Look at me…" she whispered disappointedly to herself, staring shamefully at her foggy oval steel metal-framed mirror. She fiercely untangled her dark hair with an old ivory brush from her sink drawer covered with assorted dried pasty lipstick spots. She fumbled with the silk draw strings around her robe and had snagged on the fabric of her black camisole with her chipped red polished fingers.

It was the late afternoon when Watanabe Ami walked out of her tiny bathroom with mascara-smudged eyes and her flimsy black robe fell down her pale shoulders and exposing more of her naked skin. Her small-proportional apartment was glowing sunny yellow through her blinded windows, as she walked across the wooden planks of her floor. She trended quietly into her bedroom.

She sighed lightly, leaning against her doorframe.

There he was. There he is. Uchiha Sasuke was sleeping peacefully on her bed with his waist covered with the stained sheets from last night's activity, bearing his tough solid chest to the world to see but only she had the pleasure to see all of it. And he had never stayed for the night.

She gasped at the hurt pain in her chest. Ami could not forget what happened last night.

Actually no one would have forgotten if the person they were having intimacy with had said another person's name.

She was stupid. So very stupid.

She looked upon the beauty of Sasuke, remembering the childhood times when she admired his strength, good looks, and intellect that won the hearts of every female in the shinobi world. She grew jealous over the years of girls who had grown close to her, one by the name of Haruno Sakura.

That bitch. That fucking rotten Big Forehead Bitch. No matter how many times she tried to lower that pink-haired slut's spirits, there…there was always some way that lunatic would find a way to break out of the demeanor.

Hadn't she done enough! First being in his three-man team, next to get Sasuke's trust and care to become his closest friend, to the girl in his heart as well as in his mind, to be the only one he thought about, to be the only name Sasuke whispered through the orgasmic pleasure that Ami herself was giving HIM!

He did not care about her. He did not love her. He used her as she used Sakura. Everything had backfired, from all the planning— four months of wasted time of trying to break through his thick skull!

She could have fallen for anyone, anyone with power and wealth, good looks and charm, but instead Ami had fallen for Sasuke.

And she fell hard.

So hard. Harder, faster, deeper, and violently crashed into the collision on the black ground of the unmerciful sun-baked tar, grinding deeper into the gravel and the jagged-edged stones, the dirt creamed muddily into her hair and scraping the very flesh off her ribcage, her blood washed over the rough painful tunnel her crippled body had created. Her bones trapped her naked black heart that tried to capture the light she needed. That she wanted. Through the years she had never ever would have fallen so desperately for someone who had someone else in mind and heart.

Ami would just use men for her own pleasure, in turn watching in amusement as couples, one pair after another would fall apart in the pathway Ami had made on her own that she goes on in life until she runs into a brick wall where she tried to break through, scratch off, scamper over, dig underground, run to the left or right just to get around, but nothing would work.

She was physically stuck.

It was crazy. It was totally insane. No matter how many times she tried to convince and persuade Sasuke, he isn't going to return the feelings back.

The light she wanted wasn't going to found in Sasuke.

Because he was always going to be the darkness that chose a specific star in the nightly clearing.

Sakura.

Why her? Why her? Why did she get to be the one? The one that Sasuke loved.

Ami had torn through the threads between Sakura and Sasuke. It hurt Sakura like blazing fires of thousand hells. It was over with the two. She got what she wanted.

She was satisfied.

But this wasn't the satisfaction she had desired.

Tears rolled out of her dull brown eyes, she wanted to grasp onto the single moment before he wakes up and leaves.

And she knew…she had to leave it at that…
