In retrospect, there are a few things Sakura would have done differently: she would have told Ino earlier in life she didn't want the rivalry, only the friendship. Sakura would have also fallen in love with the sunny blond guy who wished nothing but to make her happy; she wouldn't have gotten impaled for a boy who couldn't even care enough to meet her eyes.
She had been waiting for this moment for two years. The moment she would see Sasuke again and hear him beg for help. She had planned everything in her head, how he would come back home, how his deep dark gaze would be full of guilt and longing, how he would end the whole thing with a passionate kiss.

"At least I didn't use chakra..."
Neji sighs with a shake of his head and drops to the ground beside her.

Sakura avoids his lavender eyes, not wanting to see the pity she guesses they bear. She jumps when he takes one of her hands and pulls it out of his grasp.
