"You don't deserve anyone. Everyone hates you!"
"Shut up, you just jealous because the one you love didn't love you back!"
Sakura smiled happily after going back from the Ichiraku. It's not bad after all to have someone to talk with. She missed the old time when Sasuke-kun and Naruto still alive. Then, she realized that she didn't go to the memorial stone. She walked faster to her house. At least, I still have time to go to the memorial stone and for a walk.
It's was sunny day where the sun up in the sky and the wind blew slowly, kissed her naked cheeks. She pretty sure it's still stained with pink colors after Shikamaru invited her to come over at the evening. She brushed her hair when the wind blew strongly. I need something fresh to wear.
Sakura reached her knob door ten minutes later. She went inside and walked straight to her bedroom. She threw the door opened and her eyes darting around the immaculate room. She moved to her closet and opened it. Her eyes landed on the white sundress then she took it out before went to have a bath.
She run the tab water and slowly merged into the tab. The bubble slowly building up and the lavender aroma filled the air. Sakura sighed; it's have been a long time since she have a good shower with a good emotion. She closed her eyes and Shikamaru's face came to her. The faint smile painted her lips.
She was ready. She lifted the towel and walked out from the bathroom. Dried her hair and combed it nicely. She wore the sleeveless sundress and twirled around like little girl she used to be. She liked it when the birds outside her room sing along her. And, after a few minutes, she left the house. To meet certain someone.

"What? You're going another mission tomorrow?" The brown girl asked in disbelief. The prodigy only shrugged his shoulder indicated that he can't do anything about it.
"Hey, don't you promise me to train together since Lee, well, out of range?" TenTen said still pursued Neji. She glared at him furiously when the Hyuuga mouthed apologized.
Neji walked nonchalantly, leaving the young kunoichi behind. It's not his fault that he broke their promised. It's was the Hokage suddenly wanted them to go back to the Land of Tomatoes and investigate certain cases. Now, here he is, listening complains from TenTen. He sighed.
"You're really – oww." This time Neji looked up and saw two persons on the ground. It was too fast to see anything but he sure that TenTen was running towards him when she collided with another person around the corner of the street.
TenTen moaned while rubbed her right arms, Neji just sighed and tried to help the other person only to see the pinkhead girl. She too, rubbed her arms. That's must be pretty hard.
"Hey, are you okay, Haruno?" The girl looked up and saw Neji extended his hands to pull her up. It's not Sakura would like to take his hand anywhere, but, as a gentleman, at least he show some manner. Ten seconds later, his eyes wide opened when Sakura took his hands and mumbled thanks.
She dusked away the dirt on her white dress. Neji was watching her intensely when TenTen coughed. Then he realized that TenTen still on the ground with her eyes twitched. He hurriedly pulled her up.
"Watch out where you're going." TenTen said.
Sakura stopped dusting away the dirt instead she looked at her, "Well, I'm sorry. I'm in hurry."
Neji startled. It's that Haruno? Is this a dream? Neji pinched his arm and flinched when he felt pain. It's not a dream and that was Haruno Sakura. But, why? The image of Sakura punch TenTen right on the face came to him. It should be that way if Haruno Sakura we talk about.
"Going to woo another man?" TenTen remarked. Neji rolled his eyes. TenTen, not now.
Neji saw Sakura took a deep breath before walked passed them. Neji relived, after all, well, at least, Sakura didn't make a hole on TenTen's face but he saw that TenTen still not satisfied.
"Sakura-chan, you know what people tend to call someone like you?" Sakura stopped walked. It's like her foot didn't want to move when she heard the icy voice from TenTen.
"Coward." Sakura turned around and saw the cynical faces of TenTen. She really said that to her face. That bitch, really wants to die!
"I'm sorry?" Sakura flared.
TenTen gave a dry laughed, "You're good at running away. That's why I called you a coward."
Neji sighed, "TenTen, stop it. You're-"
Sakura cut in, "What do you wants, TenTen? I'm didn't want to waste my time to argue just about a small thing."
TenTen looked at her with dangerous eyes, leering grins,"You don't deserve anyone. Everyone hates you!"
"Shut up, you just jealous because the one you love didn't love you back!" It's Sakura's time to shout back. Neji looked at both of them franticly. He must stop them before something bad happen.
It's like his wish come true when suddenly Sakura landed a punch towards them but not for him but to TenTen, he was glad both of them still be able to dodge the attack.
"Oh, eager are we?" TenTen commented before launched her body towards Sakura. Sakura avoided her attacked and punch her right on the stomach. TenTen landed ten meters away but she get up and ran back towards Sakura.
"Why? Why? You're nothing then why he still chooses you?" TenTen screamed while Sakura parried away all the attacks. But one of the kicks moved straight to her right legs and few seconds later, the green eyes girl was on the ground. TenTen gave a punch on the face.
"Stop it you two!" Neji shouted and ran towards them only to receive a kunai threw at him. "You stay out of this, Neji!"
Sakura took the opportunity to turn the table, now she on the top while the others under her. She was going to punch her when TenTen pulled out the kunai and it was flew straight towards her. She jumped backwards but still the kunai merely sliced her opened her side body.
"Oh God! I really need someone to help." Even the prodigy can't stop the cat fight. He didn't know he should felt graceful or not that the street was empty than usual. Then he jumped away to find a rescue. It's better than I jump in and get kill by kunoichi.
Sakura clenched her hand to the wound. Even it's was a small cut but she still didn't have time to heal it when the frantic girl run towards her with multiple of kunai. Sakura took out one of kunai under her sundress and dodged the kunai. Some of them cut her cheeks and she felt tinged all of sudden.
"Lee has nothing to do with me. I don't love him, you crazy girl!" Sakura screamed and she kicked TenTen on the back. She flew away and landed on the ground. Sakura wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"…So, I invited Sakura to dinner with us today." Shikamaru said, ignored the scary face both of his parents wore. He knew that their father and mother still didn't approve their relationship but he must try it as much as he can.
Yoshino, his mother, sighed. "Shikamaru, you're my only son. You know, we're expecting high from you. It's not like we didn't like Sakura but, we're so disappointed when you ran away with her. You didn't come to meet us."
"I don't know why but you just came in one day, saying wanted to marry Sakura and the puff, you gone." Yoshino glared her only son. "I know that I forced you to marry Ino but, well, at least give us a reason why you didn't want her instead the Fifth Hokage's apprentice."
Shikamaru rubbed his temple worriedly, "I thought that you will kill both of us."
"Who will kill their own flesh?" It was his father, Shikaku. "I felt sorry for Ino that wait for you almost a year but when you came back from the mission, you just ignored her and a month later, you married her best friend."
"That's right." Yoshino cut in. "Sakura didn't wore the kimono right? On the wedding. You didn't invite us but your so called Konoha 12 to your wedding ceremony."
"Ehhhh?" Shikamaru looked at her mother weirdly. "If that you angry at me about, why don't you tell me earlier?"
Shikaku scoffed, "We have our own ego."
Shikamaru straighten up. He was happy even the logic is still invisible from him because it was the first time he heard one of them calling Sakura by her real name. Usually, they would call her by that girl or the pinkhead. Shikamaru smiled. More importantly, he could see that his parents cared about him and Sakura.
"I'm sorry, father, mother. It's just, I love Sakura so much." Shikaku could see the faint pink lighten his son's cheeks. He knew how much Shikamaru loves that girl, Sakura so much. He sighed.
"Shikamaru." His head turned to his father who looked at him not scary as before but his face's full with father-like features. "We can have dinner together, right?"
Shikamaru smiled wider but before he could answer, his front door banged opened. The white-eyed man looked at him furiously, "We've trouble, Shikamaru!"
"What? Shikamaru shouted. Both of his parents looked at each other before shrugged. "Hey, calm down a little."
Shikamaru moved towards Neji who breathing hardly. "We…don't have time. Just, follow…me."

"Take that, you slut!" TenTen threw a mud and it landed on Sakura's head. Sakura who didn't have time to dodge just watched the twin-bun girl laughed at her.
"Wait there, you mutt!" Sakura walked towards the girl and slapped her across the face. The girl stopped laughed instead she strangled Sakura but she found it hard when Ino held her arms.
"Stop it!" Hinata too tried so hard to hold Sakura from God knows what she wanted to do with TenTen. They've been there almost an hour, holding the two kunoichi that fought like crazy but Ino and Hinata must admitted that their strength were not match with Sakura and TenTen.
As usual, it was Ino and Hinata time to go to the forest to take a sample for their new project but when they walked across the street, what they saw was something that unbelievable. Sakura and TenTen threw punch and kicks at each other. From what they heard-mostly cursed and bad words- it's about TenTen questioned Sakura, why Lee loves Sakura instead of her. And for Sakura, she only said that she didn't love Lee-Ino commented that Sakura didn't answer TenTen instead just making the things worse.
"Hey, Ino! Let me go!" She tried to free herself from Ino but Ino already locked her hands behind her backs and TenTen found it hard to move around when someone weighed your body with.
"Hyuuga-sama, I begged you. Let me finish her in minutes." Sakura sound more calmly even Hinata have been gentle fist her. She bet that Sakura has more chakra than normal people has.
"Sakura, you're coward. You know what? Sasuke died because of you!" Everyone else would accept that as provokes but not Sakura.
"TenTen, shut up!" Ino snarled when she saw dangerous faces from Sakura. It's not like she cared what will happen with both of them but she didn't want to meet Ibiki in integrates session.
"What? It's not like she could do anything." TenTen looked at Ino from her shoulder but before Ino could reply, Sakura already in front of them. She snatched the perfect-aimed girl's collar and brought it closer to her faces. Hinata on tthe other hand, looked completely clueless.
"You're dead. Don't blame it on me. You asked for that." Sakura threw her to the wall. Ino already jumped backward but regretted not to bring TenTen with her. TenTen moaned hardly. Her back felt numb. She was beyond pain and when the pain still lingered on her back, Sakura punched her on the face.
"Sasuke-kun..died…because of me?" She asked. Every word encountered with a punch. Ino and Hinata stood like a virtue. They didn't know what to do. That was the furious Sakura they ever see. It's better to stop her before she kills TenTen.
Ino snatched Sakura's right hand before she could land another punch at the poor girl, "Stop it, Sakura. You're going to kill her."
Sakura turned around and pushed Ino until she fell down on the ground, "Don't interfere me, Yamanaka. You're hypocrite person I ever met. You're the worst person I ever befriend with. You don't know how to stop. You should know your own limits. You and your pathetic bloodline, just go to hell"
Ino stunned, Sakura, she has the eyes. The eyes she saw that morning were different from this. Even only a glance, she could see that the Sakura she knew the morning were the kind, cheerful Sakura. The old Sakura. But now, it was the cold Sakura. Ino trembled. She was afraid. Her words was like poison that can kill her from the inside. She covered her ears but Sakura just kicked her down until she was lying on the ground. Hinata ran towards her while Sakura went back to the covered blood TenTen.
"Ino, Ino. Are you okay?" Hinata shook her fragile body. Ino's eyes already filled with water. She was afraid as much as TenTen who still got punch and kick from Sakura.

Shikamaru followed Neji until they found themselves at the end of street that lead to the forest. Neji was the first one to gap when he saw what in front of him. The scene was beyond the horrible one. Out of the corner, still on the ground, Ino was trembled so hard while Hinata seemed to comfort her by put her arms around Ino's body. The horrible part was they saw Sakura kick and laughed maniacally at the lifeless body. Neji eyes wide opened.
"Sakura!" Shikamaru screamed. Four of them looked at him. Sakura laughed died.
"Shikamaru…" Sakura managed to say. It's like she just realized what she was doing. It's like she was possessed by some demon. Then she looked around, the tremble Ino, the shaking Hinata, the lifeless TenTen. She stopped moving. "It's not my fault."
Shikamaru walked towards her and when he stopped in front of Sakura, he touched the bruised cheeks, "What are you doing, Sakura?"
"I don't-" Before she finished her sentences, Shikamaru slapped her. Her faces turned to the right side. The tears formed from the corner of her eyes. The red blood flew down from the corner of her left mouth. She was shaking. It's not her fault. It was tenTen. She wanted to say that but when she saw Shikamaru's face, she couldn't utter a word.
"You almost kill TenTen." Shikamaru looked at TenTen who already on Neji's arms. He nodded before Neji disappeared from there. To the hospital, of course.
"It's not my fault!" Sakura screamed and threw a punch but Shikamaru easily caught her hands. "You can ask Yamanaka and Hyuuga-sama!"
"It's looked like your fault, Sakura." Shikamaru locked her by brought her hands to her back. "Look, what are you doing to your friends."
Sakura looked at the Ino and Hinata who still shaking violently and when they looked at her, the tears from their eyes stream down like a waterfall. Hinata still has her arms around Ino's body. Her white eyes darting around except at her while Ino's hair already covered half of her face. Behind that, she pretty sure, the bruised from before will visible and the tears already forming.
"You still saying that's not your fault. You're beaten your friend half to dead. You..you turned to some monster." Shikamaru chocked at the word of monster. He couldn't believe that he could say that to the person he loves so much.
"No, no. It's not my fault. Please believe me, Shikamaru." Her tears fell down to her pale cheeks. He could feel the tears watched away the bruised faces of Sakura. "You loves me, don't you. So believe me, Shikamaru."
"Maybe...fallen in love with you was my biggest mistake, Sakura." Shikamaru words like a venom that go straight to her heart. She could hear her world crumble down before her.
And then everything went blank.
