Jealousy


A/N: Too lazy to write out a complete story so these recollections will somehow express the story. Let me know what you all think.


Sakura palms tightened unconsciously when she heard the news.

All those emotions and insecurities ate at her rapidly as they did when she was younger. She thought such things were beneath her and part of the past but here they were again. The pain burned her heart making her tremble. She thought they had come so far and yet today, it felt like she had gone nowhere.

She was still that person left behind because she equated to nothing in his life. She was still that person who didn't matter as much as the teammate beside the both of them. Still less wanted than the woman who was chosen by him to join his team and reluctantly accepted by some small miracle which she hoped was love.

"He bought a woman and little boy back,"

"It's his son for sure, you can't hide the Uchiha traits."

"Sakura?"

Her glazed green eyes focused and she shifted her gaze to a blond-haired woman staring at her.

"Did you hear he came home?"

"Yes," Sakura acknowledged softly.

"With baggage?" Ino asked with a slightly angry look.

She didn't speak to that… so it was all true.

The darkness ate at her in rapid bites….. the familiar curl of jealously swirled in her heart and she wondered how he'd react if she pounded the woman he brought into the ground and buried her six feet under before his face.
