Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Okay so, I got a few requests to add on to this so here goes..This is going to be it though. It's as far as my imagination will allow.
Sakura woke up to the sun shining. She smiled at the beautiful day. She was in love. Could it get any better? It could. If she could get up the nerve to just tell him. She wasn't going to let that bother her today though.
Sakura headed to the kitchen to make breakfast when she noticed a scroll on the floor near her door. She picked it up and scanned it's contents thinking it was a letter from Tsunade. How wrong she was...
Sakura,
I found your letter a few days ago. I'm ashamed to say that I invaded your privacy and read it.
Sakura knew then that she needed to sit down. Now she knew what happened to her letter. She groaned.
I considered taking the coward's way out and pretend that I never found it. I hoped that we could continue on the way things were. Everyday though I saw the longing in your eyes. The desire for something more. I look into those eyes and they hold me captive. You threaten to make me your slave and I will not allow that.
Sakura, 14 years separate us. You were my pupil. There are too many obstacles between you and I. I do not think we can overcome them. I'm not sure you understand what the magnitude of us could mean. People will talk. Sure you can say "Let them talk."
Hell yeah! Inner Sakura screamed.
But I beg you to consider this. I love you as well Sakura. I can't chance you throwing away your life on me. You will one day be a strong and respected kunoichi. Actually you already are and the village needs people like you.
The love that is between us is well...forbidden. I will not ruin your reputation. It would be selfish, even cruel of me to think it. Sakura, being with you would make me unbelievably happy but I don't think in the long run you'd be happy with me.
So if it comes down to your happiness or mine...I'd chose yours every time.
Kakashi.
Tears streamed Sakura's cheeks. She slowly folded the letter in half and sat it on her table. Sakura laid down on her couch and closed her eyes. Suddenly she didn't feel like having breakfast anymore.
