Cherry Blossoms

By Kitsune Yarisha

 

A/N: “A promise is something to be kept, and it's only too bad that it took us so long to keep ours, huh, Sasuke?” Moments of surrender, persistence, defiance, confusion, and love blur the images of life into an endless stream. Sometimes, it is necessary to stop and merely observe life's script.

 

 

Dialogue Five: Cherry Blossoms

 

Sasuke: “Hokage-sama! You're late!”

 

Naruto: “Heh, yeah, sorry about that, Sasuke. I hade some last minute paperwork to do.”

 

Sasuke: “Hn.”

 

Naruto: “Hey, don't get like that. You'll ruin the moment!”

 

Sasuke: “What moment, dobe?”

 

Naruto: “This one… Under the cherry blossoms.”

 

(After five long years, we finally made it here to watch the cherry blossoms freshly come into life, pink colors winking at us from high atop branches.)

 

Sasuke: “Hey, Naruto?”

 

Naruto: “Yeah?”

 

Sasuke: “This time… Let's not scratch out a promise.”

 

(I touched the one promise sketched so faintly into the bottom of that cherry blossom tree from so long ago.)

 

Naruto: “Yeah, let's not. We'll come back again, anyway. Huh, Captain?”

 

Sasuke: “Of course we will.”

 

Naruto: “…Hey, Sasuke?”

 

Sasuke: “Yes, Naruto?”

 

Naruto: “Thanks for coming back home…”

 

Sasuke: “Thank you for bringing me back, Naruto.”

Naruto: “I love you.”

 

Sasuke: “Me, too.”

 

 

The End.
