SECLUDED

The sky is pure blue today. There's not a single cloud to be found, all of it is just swallowed in blue.

"Today's a perfect day, huh Akamaru?"

"Arf!"

"So that's why we are going to ditch class and…"

---SLEEP!

As I lie down on the green grass under the tree, I stare at the sky. It almost feels like I'm floating on top of the world…

"Whaaat are you doing?"

"UWA!"

----Sakura?

She places her hands on her knees and looks down at me. ……Wow, this is kind of embarrassing… I wake up groggily.

"AAGGHH! And I was just about to fall asleep…"

"Arf arf!"

"What? But you have training to do"

"…… Hmph, I don't feel like training today"

"…… Are you feeling okay?"

As she says that, she places a hand on my forehead. I think my heart just skipped a beat…

"You don't have a cold or anything…"

"Of course not"

"But you don't feel okay, do you?"

"When I say 'I don't feel like it', I didn't mean it that way…"

"………… Huh?"

I lie down on my back once more.

"Look, come lie down here"

"What?"

"Just do it"

"………?"

Just like I told her to, she lies down next to me.

Next to me…----

"Look at the sky"

"………… Ah"

And from that, we looked at the sky without saying anything.

"…… There's not a single cloud…"

"Yeah"

"The sky is so pretty…"

"Yeah…"

"I feel like… I'm going to be swallowed…"

Those emerald eyes that she has, kept staring into the endless sky. It really did feel like we were going to get sucked in.

"Fuwa… I feel sleepy all of a sudden…"

"See?"

"Haha, yeah, it feels great…"

"I can almost feel how Shikamaru feels"

"Ahaha, that's true"

And from that time on, we never let our eyes wander off anywhere else but the sky. Our eyes were now owned by the sky.

---Aah, the sky is so blue…---

-------------------------

A/N: It's summer. The sky has no clouds these days. So yeah. Not much love in it, more like a friendship type of story, but whatever. One of the ex-separated one shots. Just changed the name.
