Sorry for taking so long, been super busy but here you go! I'll try and update sooner okay?

Her Shattered Heart

Tears

She stood next to a splintered tree, barely breaking a sweat as she took deep, calming breaths. She brushed the loose strands of hair out of her face and focused the chakra in her fists as she found another motionless target.

"Damn him," she muttered and quickly obliterated the defenseless tree.

Tears threatened to overflow but she fought them back. It had been a few weeks since his return and she had been avoiding him at all costs. She had also been practicing to hide her emotions and lock away the feeling of love for her betrayer.

"Hey Sakura, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a walk with me," someone asked from behind her.

She spun around and let a small smile take over a look of fury on her face. Naruto was climbing over the splinters and occasionally got poked.

"Sure thing Naruto," she said and dusted herself off.

He led her through the trees and they talked about trivial things like other people's relationships and blond moments.

"Get to the point Naruto, I know you came to talk about something else," she sighed. She leaned up against a tree and folded her arms.

"You're right…I actually wanted to talk to you…about you," he said.

"What about me?" She asked, slightly confused.

"You've been blocking everyone out, you're becoming like Shino and Sasuke," Naruto said.

Sakura unconsciously hugged herself as the feelings of loss ad pain threatened to tear her apart further than they already had.

"And every time someone says something about him you always do that, we know you aren't willing to face him but you have to let us help you. You're becoming like a robot on command, almost like you were when he left five years ago," he said softly.

"You're right, I'm not willing to face him, but I'd rather be a robot than a blubbering idiot," Sakura said harshly.

"Please Sakura, I have always been here for you, helping you, can't you let me again?" Naruto pleaded.

Sakura's emerald eyes dimmed with tears and Naruto embraced her in a tight hug.

"You're going to have to get over him sometime," Naruto whispered in her tangled mess of pink locks.

"But how can you heal a shattered heart when the one who broke it is the only one who can fix it," she whispered back between small sobs.

"That's what you're thinking, you just need to look past, for someone else. I'm sure there is someone out there for you besides him," he said.

"Thanks Naruto," she sighed and slowed her crying.

"Anytime Sakura, I'm going to get some ramen, I'm hungry," he said and his stomach rumbled to prove his words were true.

Sakura laughed in spite of herself.

"Glad I could make you laugh, see you around Sakura," he said gleefully and took off to his favorite ramen stand.

Sakura stood motionless for awhile, letting the breeze gently brush her and the calming sounds of the woods soothe her frayed nerves. She closed her eyes for a moment and an emotionless mask took over the sad look she had worn only moments before.

'I guess I'll just meditate,' she thought to herself and sat cross legged on the soft ground. She closed her eyes and let herself drift.
