Sasuke hated the colour green.

For one thing, it was ugly. It was either too bright or too dark and it always clashed with everything. Who would like something as obnoxious as that?

It was everywhere, too. In the constant trees that bordered and filled Konoha, on the grassy training fields and the chuunin vests. That was one of the reasons he liked winter – the season was cold, killing the leaves, covering the grass in snow, and forcing the chuunins to put on warmer clothing.

When he left the village, the dark, neutral shades of Orochimaru's hideouts had always been a welcome change. It was easy on the yes and prevented him from thinking of home.

At first, anyway.

Green returned at night, entering Sasuke's dreams. While he slept, he would think see Sakura's tear filled viridian eyes, begging him to stay and scolding him for the hurt he had caused. He hated it.

As if that wasn't annoying enough, the eyes of his snake summons where the same shade as the kunoichi's, reminding him of her with their gaze and loyal protection.

Suddenly, the wretched colour was everywhere - in nature and enemies and eyes and chakras. And every time he saw it, he thought not of his village, but his pink-haired teammate.


Author's Notes: Err, yeah, not much to say about this, It's definately not one of my favourite fics, but it's all I could think of for the prompt. .
