I wrote this when I was working on my one shot that will hopefully be posted soon. This takes place after the time skip. Summary: Sakura reflects on her past and gives up on Sasuke. Don't kill me, SasuSaku fans!
--------------------------------------------
It finally sunk in.
The fact that you don't like me.
Forget that.
The fact that you loathe me.
---
I look back.
You never looked at me in content.
Or in relaxation for that matter.
Just in hatred.
---
Was I too happy?
Was it the way I looked?
Did I annoy you?
Were you blinded with your own past?
---
I have been chasing you for years.
First at the academy,
Then in our genin team,
And now to take you back.
---
But now I'm able to let you go.
Just seeing you with the intent to kill in your eyes,
Sprinting to me,
Chidori in hand.
---
I thank you for inspiring me to become stronger.
Making me push myself,
To try to grasp your attention.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
---
I acknowledge you as a teammate no more.
I will chase you as a squealing girl no more.
I love you no more.
We will stand on equal ground.
As rivals.
