To Sakura, Team 7 is full of light.

Of course, lights are all different and shaded and hued and-

Sasuke would be moonlight. (Cool and quiet and dark, but perfectly beautiful.)

She would be… starlight. (Pretty, and always trailing the moon.)

Naruto would be sunlight, of course. (Blinding and hot and painful. One should never look directly into the sun.)

She always though the moon and stars should hang together in the night.


Two years have passed, and all that's changed is her perspective.

Sasuke is still moonlight. (Perfectly beautiful, but surrounded by the dark.)

She is still starlight. (Because when you get closer, stars shine brighter than the sun.)

Naruto is still sunlight. (Warm and bright, and necessary for all life to grow and live.)

Sakura wants now to just lie in the sun, letting its warmth soak her skin, but she knows that the sun can't exist without the moon, and neither can she.

So she will help bring them all together again.
