Unwanted?
Chapter Twelve – Separation
Disclaimer: I totally own Naruto. I make up the plot and totally ruined the art in Shippuuden because I'm cheap. Just kidding. I don't know Naruto.
Rated T for language.
Sakura lay silently as she listened to Naruto murmuring under his breath. It had been about three months since either of them had seen the rest of their friends. The police had gone back to the house-mansion and found the others. They had been taken back to their parents and Sasuke? Last Sakura had heard he had been locked in his room by his father for a month.
She and Naruto? Well they were placed in the orphanage and lucky for her, she was with Naruto and not by herself.
Sakura sighed and looked around at him. The blond boy was sitting at the table, tapping his pen on his notepad, "What are you doing, Naruto?"
"Writing our autobiography,"
"Eh?"
"Or our history, as a group of friends,"
Sakura got up from the sofa and walked over to him and peeked over his shoulder. His handwriting was sloppy as he had been out of practice for years, but she could read it fine.
When I was ten, it read, Sasuke and I were running through the forest, that surrounded the abandoned Uzumaki Mansion -- the house-mansion-- and away from Hinata and Ino. That was the day Sasuke had sprained his ankle and we, Neji and I, had to sneak into someone's house to get the correct medical supplies, it was also the day when we began to steal from people's houses. We could sell the things we stole to the crafty man in town to get money for food. Although buying things didn't happen a lot. We often raided the cabinets of houses and fed ourselves that way. It was on one of those raids that a man had come into the kitchen in the middle of the night and had spotted us. He had lunged for us and managed to grab a hold of Hinata's hair. I wasn't thinking when I took a knife from the counter and chopped off her long blue hair. We barely made it out of the house. Who knew where we would have been taken to if we had been trapped and the police had come? We were young, knew about prison and thought that we might end up there. So we soon started training ourselves to fight in a noble way. Sasuke and Neji already knew how to do karate, so they taught everyone else.
Sakura stared at the page for a moment and sat down next to Naruto, sighing, "You really miss them, don't you?" She lay her check in the palm of her hand.
Naruto looked around at her, smiling slightly, "Yeah, but at least they're not alone. And we're definitely not alone."
"Definitely," Sakura grinned.
There was a long pause as Naruto stared at his words that were scribbled along the paper. Sakura was looking him up and down.
"Let's make a promise, Sakura-chan," Naruto said, turning to her and leaning forward, poking Sakura's forehead with his index finger, "Let's make a promise that we'll always be friends forever, through thick and thin and no matter what kind of weather attempts to tear us apart."
Sakura hit her heart mockingly and said in a deep voice, "That's deep, dude, deep,"
Naruto laughed quietly. He smirked and held out his pinkie. Sakura blinked, a child's promise?
She smiled, nodded and wrapped her own pinkie around his, "Promise,"

Such a super short chapter! Well, this was the last one. Sowweh. Were you expecting Sakura to keep her promise? Hahaha. She does. Don't worry. I said this was the last chapter. Doesn't mean that there isn't going to be an epilogue. Thanks for reading:3
