I literally hit the "create" button on my computer document and I was overwhelmed by the fact that I hadn't written anything in way too long. My fiancé actually told me that I needed to start writing again because my self-esteem has been going down from not doing anything with writing. So here we go again, not sure if anyone is still watching out for this, but if you guys are then I'm going to try and discipline myself and write more than I did before.
Disclaimer: Kishimoto owns the characters of Naruto and the setting, but I own their relationships bwahahaha!
Sasuke and Sakura:
…..
…..
Sasuke couldn't remember why pushing her away was good
He couldn't remember why that was his decision
As her footsteps faded away from his cell, he felt his stomach drop
He bit his tongue until he felt a sharp tang of iron blood
Not calling out to her was torturous
Still, it hurt even more that she believed him
Maybe she was just angry
Maybe she would come back
Sasuke didn't know whether to hope for her return or
To Pray
That she never came back.
That her presence never brightened his life
He was darkness and anger and hate
That was all he had ever known
He had lived it once and he could surround himself
In a dark cloak of revenge
In a garb that marked him a demon
If he could keep her pure
If only he could keep her alive and happy
Her smile was all he needed to keep vibrant
Sakura of the petal flowered hair
Of the sweet gestures and jaded eyes
He didn't even know her anymore
She probably felt nostalgia and nothing more
Dragging her down in the past would only be detrimental
For the rest of her life and relationships
He just needed to forget her
Forget
Forget
Forget
…..
…..
Sakura didn't cry
She couldn't manage the ability
To squeeze out the tears
She felt dry and decrepit
She hadn't cried in so long
But ever since Sasuke came back
Her emotions were volatile
Still, she had trained herself
Crying was weak
She was no longer weak
She would hold in her tears
Though they had welled up at the cell
There was no reason to keep crying
He would either come around or not
She wouldn't visit
But that wouldn't stop her from working
Even now she walked toward a member of the council
The man owed her a favor for saving his son and wife during childbirth
If she could persuade him to lean favorably during sentencing
It would be worth it to know he would be walking around
Learning again the streets he knew
Learning how to be happy again
If he didn't want to see her
That was fine
She had been betrayed by the village
Betrayed by her mentor
But she wasn't one to hold a grudge
Sakura had seen how that affected people
How it affected Sasuke
How it affected her
She couldn't put people through that
She couldn't be that selfish.
Better to focus on what is useful.
Better to focus on what was happening at that moment.
She just wanted to be needed
If Sasuke didn't want her
She would at least be needful to him
If she could just be needful
