Sasuke eyed the contraption sceptically. It was a mess of sticks, fabric and string that Sakura was constructing. Her optimism was unwavering.
"It'll fly," she assured him when he voiced his doubt.
He merely raised an eyebrow, watching her attach two sticks together. How something like that could possibly fly, he had no idea.
The day wore on, the sun climbing higher in the sky and burning their scalps. Sasuke continued to watch his pink-haired (and now pink skinned) teammate as she continued to work on her project.
"It'll never work," he said from the shade of a tree.
"Yes it will," she said, still sitting in the heat of the sun.
He rolled his eyes, deciding she was more hopeless than he had initially thought.
Evening soon came, bringing with it cool air and salvation from the afternoon sun. Sakura had finished building her contraption, still confident in its ability to fly. Sasuke remained sceptical.
"You really think this thing will fly?" he asked, holding the part made from a diamond of fabric and a few sturdy sticks.
"She smiled. "Why wouldn't I?"
Holding the string, Sakura turned and ran, speed and wind blowing her hair in her face.
"Let go!" she cried. Sasuke obeyed, then watched in wonder as the kite glided through the air, lifting higher into the sky.
Laughing joyfully, Sakura said, "See? I told you it would work!"
He said nothing, watching as she ran and the kite continued to soar.
Author's Notes: Yeah, I have no idea what the point of this was. xP Just a random little idea I had. Call it symbolic or whatever if you want, but I have no idea what it means.
