If You Walk Away, I'll Walk Away
Town
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Walking through the streets of Konoha Sakura felt an odd sense of nostalgia. She had lived here for four years of her life... she had many memories, although only few were good. Shaking off the feeling she hung her head and walked with her eyes to the ground and her mind blank.
Dante was walking beside her. They were on their way to the Hokage tower to register for the chunin exams. "You know Sakura, if you keep walking like that you're going to run into something." Dante said in a slightly amused tone.
Sakura wrinkled her nose and lifted her head. Blinking slowly she looked around her. "Oh," she gasped. Standing right across the street from her was a boy she had only ever dreamed about. It was the beautiful boy with the red hair and green eyes. And he was staring straight at her. She was paralized.
"What do I do?" She thought frantically, panicking inside her head. "Please, calm down. What aere you even worrying about anyways?" Her inner self said with mild disgust. The question struck he as a surprise. What was she worried about? He was just a simple boy who she had practically stalked the last time she saw him. What was the big deal?
Just as these thoughts crossed her mind she felt a tug on her arm and her body being jerked. She snapped out of her thoughts and followed Dante to the tower.
One they got there they headed up to the Hokage's office and waited to meet with her. Eventually her secretary Shizune led them in and they sat in the chairs in front of her massive desk.
The Hokage stared at Sakura with a mixture of disappointment and hurt. Then she pursed her lips and looked at Dante. "So you want Sakura to join the exams this year." She stated. Dante merely nodded and stared at her, waiting. "Alright." Tsunade finally said, and she stood up. "You can stay in one of the hotels until I assign you a team." She directed this at Sakura.
Dante stood and bowed. When Sakura followed suit they left the room and exited the tower. Once on the street in front of said building Dante turned to Sakura. She had a strange glint in her eyes as she said, "Sakura, I have things to do in town. I don't want you to go to the hotel without me so why don't you just hang around and, oh I don't know, catch up with old friends."
Sakura could say nothing due to the surprise, so Dante walked away, leaving a wide-eyed Sakura in the middle of the street.
"Why is she making me do this?" Sakura thought miserably. She had seen many of her old "friends" from the academy you went to before you got your teams. None of them saw her though. She had been looking at them from a distance, but still she could tell that they were all so happy. Sighing, she sat down on a bench to think. "Dante knows I really don't have friends here. . . Maybe she just wanted to make me suffer." She thought with a bitter smile.
"Ugh, what am I going to do all day?" she said, frustrated.
"Well," she heard a high-pitched voice behind her. "You could always walk around town with your ex-best friend." Sakura turned and saw Ino Yamanaka standing behind the bench with her arms crossed and a smug grin plastered to her face.
