Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo



Sasuke had been gone for three months. She had been crying on and off for three months. All of Konoha had felt betrayed for three months. Naruto had been gone for three months training with Jiraiya-sama, determined to beat the crap out of Sasuke to bring him back. Three months…

“Three months.” Sakura sighed to herself, her voice cracking slightly. She dabbed at her eyes with the moist handkerchief clutched in her fist and sighed again. She didn’t have anyone to talk to that would understand what she was going through. She loved Sasuke and he just abandoned her and everyone in Konoha. Had she done something wrong to make this happen? Did Sasuke really care about revenge more than his friends?

“Sakura?”

“Hmm?” The pink-haired girl looked down from her spot in the tree to see Ino looking up at her. She wiped at her eyes again and motioned for the blonde girl to sit with her.

“Why are you up in this tree?” Ino asked, dumbfounded. She took in the handkerchief clutched between thin fingers and the tearstains down the other girl’s cheeks. “Sasuke.”

“Sasuke.” Sakura nodded in confirmation and sniffled. She watched as the other girl deftly walked up the tree and took a seat next to her. Here was someone who would understand what was going through her mind. “Do you think we did this to him?” The pink-haired girl asked quietly.

“We didn’t make Sasuke’s brother murder his entire family, no. And it wasn’t because of you that he left. He just had something to do and he was desperate.” Ino put her arm awkwardly over her ex-best friend’s shoulders and squeezed them a little. “Let’s just get on with our lives. There’ll be other Sasukes to fight over.”

Sakura hiccuped slightly then leaned back against the trunk of the tree, taking another swipe at her eyes with the piece of cloth. Ino’s arm was still awkwardly around her shoulders. “We used to be such good friends.” Sakura said, albeit sadly. “How could we let one boy get in between us?”

“Who knows?” Ino leaned her head against the pink-haired one and breathed out a sigh. The sun would be setting any minute now.
