Decision
Sakura
A/N: Oftentimes in life we come to a point where we much make the hardest decision imaginable.
---------------------------------
She knew this day would come, had anxiously waited for it and yet feared it terribly. In her more naïve days of youth, she thought she had made her choice. It was obvious from the beginning, and she'd fought hard to keep it. Rivals popped up here and there, and she would defend her treasure to no end. Then the time came when the one she wished for vanished, and left her cold and helpless. Though his leaving pained her greatly, she didn't let it slay her determination. A goal lay out before her to fight for that treasure she so loved and needed. Then a light came into her world, comforting and warm, uttering sweet promises she knew would be difficult to keep, but it eased her burden nonetheless. She kept it before her, like a tailed wishing star, and when it returned from its travels she rejoiced and blushed like a little girl. Together, they searched for the treasure, and she fought tooth and nail to find it. But when she did, happiness eluded her and a cold wind eroded her soul. The treasure had forgotten her, and it made her very sad, but she wasn't completely unfortunate. For there was the star, shining brightly before her, just as he'd always been, beaming brightly with hope and love. It made her wonder, to the extent that it pained her heart, would she still seek her treasure that she loved or would she choose the star that brought her so much joy? There is no greater sorrow and pain in this world than to have to make such a choice.
