A/N: Sorry for the spam. I accidentally uploaded the document that had all the chapters I've got written up instead of today's update. T-T Since I let the cat out of the bag I'm going to break them up and post them...and you'll have to wait a little longer until I get the next few written out. Man I feel stupid.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Hesitantly, she started say, "S-Sakura is better than-"
"Don't compare yourself to her." Sasuke cut her off, letting her wrist go as she let the chakra fade away.
