Spring Blossom
Chapter 1
 
Tears fell uncontrollably from Sakura's eyes, as she fell to Sasuke's side, he was dead. Sakura touched Sasuke's cold, pale check, seeing him covered in blood, made the tears flow even more heavily. Itachi had killed Sasuke, Kakashi, Naruto, and her had come too late, he had been dead for about five minutes now. Sakura drenched the dead body with her tears, if only Sakura hadn't been stupid enough to let Sasuke knock her out when he left Konoha to find Itachi. If only Sakura and the others had found Sasuke earlier, but now it was to late, nothing could bring Sasuke back; she had lost him forever…
 
Naruto sat down beside Sakura; trying not to cry himself, he put his hand on Sakura's shoulder. Kakashi stood behind them, his eyes were blood shot. “We should go back to Konoha,” Kakashi said. Sakura didn't look at him, but nodded her head; Sakura and Naruto stood up. Kakashi walked pasted them, picked up Sasuke's dead body and they walked back to Konoha.

Sakura put on a white kimono, Sasuke's funeral was in a half-hour. She walked over to her dresser, on it was a picture of Kakashi, Naruto, herself, and… Sasuke. Sakura's eyes filled with tears, “Sasuke,” she whispered. Sakura fell to her knees and she began to cry. There was a knock on the door and Naruto walked in, he ran over to Sakura.
 
“Sakura,” Naruto mumbled, siting beside her, “Are you ok?” he asked. Sakura's tears made a puddle on the floor. She shock her head.
 
“No… I'm not,” Sakura answered quietly. “I don't know what I have anymore, now that Sasuke's gone.” Naruto helped Sakura up.
 
“You still have Kakashi sensei and me, we'll always be here for you,” Naruto paused, “And maybe if you're lucky I'll share some of my ramen with you.” Sakura smiled a bit; she wiped her tears.
 
“We should probably get going to the funeral,” Sakura said.
 
“Ok, let's go,” Naruto nodded sadly. Naruto walked towards the door, he stopped. “Are you coming Sakura?” he asked.
 
“Yeah… in a minute,” Sakura replied. Naruto left the house, closing the door behind him. Sakura took the photograph off her dresser and put it in her pocket. Sakura the house and ran the catch up to Naruto.

Sakura stood beside Naruto, Kakashi stood behind them. Sakura's eyes filled with tears as she watched Sasuke's body being carried out and placed on the pyre, Sasuke's body was to be cremated. Sakura ran up to the pyre before they set it on fire, she took the picture out of her pocket and placed it on the pyre beside Sasuke. Sakura stood back beside Naruto, the pyre was set on fire, Sakura turned away, she couldn't watch. Naruto's gaze fell to the ground, even thou he and Sasuke were rivalries, they were sometimes friends too. Naruto clenched a fist at his side; Itachi would pay for killing Sasuke and putting Sakura though indescribable pain.
 
After the scattering of Sasuke's ashes, Kakashi offered to take Sakura and Naruto to the ramen shop to try to cheer them up, well mostly Sakura but it would have offended Naruto not to bring him along too. Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura sat there at the ramen shop, Kakashi only had one cup of ramen, Naruto, instead of his usual over ten ramen cups, only had five. And Sakura just sat there playing with her food with the chopsticks; everybody was depressed. Nobody said a word; Kakashi's plan to cheer everybody up obviously didn't work. Kakashi looked at them both and finally broke the silence.
 
“There will be no training tomorrow you two, we will start training back up the day after,” Kakashi said. Naruto looked at him with a confused look on his face.
 
“Why Sensei?” Naruto asked. Kakashi sighed.
 
“It's been a rough day and everybody's depressed, a day off would do us all some good,” Kakashi answered. Naruto tried to lighten the mood a bit.
 
“Are you sure you just don't want a day to catch up on your porno book, Sensei?” Naruto laughed, Kakashi smiled at Naruto's attempted to cheer everybody up.
 
“No Naruto, that's not why… but it would be nice to read my book,” Kakashi said. They both looked over at Sakura, who's mind seem to be else where. She was still poking at her food and starring into space. Naruto sighed.
 
“Hey Sakura, I'll walk you home… come on,” Naruto said. Sakura said nothing, she just nodded her head and stood up. Naruto and Sakura stopped at her house; Sakura still said nothing. She opened the door.
 
“Bye Sakura,” Naruto said trying not to sound too cheerful.
 
“Bye,” Sakura mumbled, she walked into her house and right a way closed the door. Naruto sighed and walked away. He was worried about Sakura; he cared about her so much, and he wanted to take away all her pain. But how could he…
