''Sakura'' I was walking to the hospital which is a couple streets away from my house. It's a long walk but it's great exercise.
I thought I heard someone call my name so I looked back. No one I knew was around from what I can see. Just normal people walking around and working. I decided ignore it until- '' BOO!!'' I was startled. My reflexes kicked in. My hand curled into a fist and I aimed it right towards where the sound was coming from, not knowing whom it Was. I slowly opened my eyes. my attacker was the spiky Haired knuckle head ninja blonde himself on the dusty ground. he groaned as he rubbed his head in agony.
''what was that for?" he asked,still tending to the aching spot. ''im so-" I hesitated. I sighed then grabbed his arm and helped him up to his feet. "I mean, its your fault for scaring me." I crossed my arms and looked at him annoyed. "i thought it'd be funny, sakura.. anyways,'' he slide his hands into his pockets and pulled out an envelope. It was decorated with a cherry blossom like design and my name in cursive writing. "huh?" i looked at the paper and back at him. "me and hinata are having an engagment party. we would love it if you came.'' he smiled at me and I stared back at him. "an engagement party?" "yeah! "
".. Oh naruto.. "
my chest was burning hot. I was getting anxious I felt pain. With that I smiled. it didnt looked forced. At least I think it didn't. i thought about what i'll say. ''I'd love to come! im happy for you two!''
''great! see you then!'' and with that, he disappeared in a poof of smoke. i continued my journey to the hospital. the pain i felt is still there. looks like its not leaving soon.

''I Honestly cant believe he's getting married.''
''To the princess of the hyuga clan too-''
As soon as i arrived at the hospital that was all i heard. The hero of the leaf was marrying the kind blue haired beauty who is hinata hyuga. who wouldnt like her? She's pretty, kind, has a gorgeous body and dont get me started on breast size. she's everything im not. She was there for him....i wasnt. I wanted to go home. i want to stay inside all day. i want the world to go away.. sluggishly i walked to tsunade's office door.
Ever since she resigned as hokage and let kakashi sensei take her place,she's been here at the hospital helping the doctors and regained her spot as the head of the hospital. All whilst she's drunk of course.
i knocked. A loud 'come in!' was yelled on the other side of the door. i breathed in and out slowly. I had to calm down. I calmed down and walked inside. ''good morning,lady tsunade.'' ''you're late.'' ''im sorry. i got distracted on my way here.'' she stared at me. looking from head to toe. i could smell the stench of rum and beer oozing from her. Her eyes with dark circles and weary. She seem tired- night shifts probably m she always stayed in the hospital to help. We always thought she was amazing for that. The way she looked at me made me nervous though and she knew that.
''Are you okay?'' she asked. i looked at her surprised for a moment but then i smiled my usual smile. I am. Why did you call me in today?"
"sakura, for the past few days your behaviour has been.. Off. On mornings you would seem out of it.. Everyone has noticed. Normally you'd be clean, calm and straight with yourself but now I hear for the pass few weeks you've been going to clubs on work nights by yourself I've heard.. I'm sorry but that's is unlike and i demand to know why youre like this" Her voice raised sternly.
''........'' I couldnt say anything. She always knew what i was thinking and how i felt. ''Is it about naruto?''
''naruto? Naruto has nothing do with this! Why would he-'' i tried my best to play dumb. "ENOUGH-" i jumped a bit. "sit down" she ordered. i sat down on the chair before her.
''look,'' she began to talk. ''I can tell you're sad about this.''
''what are you talking abo-'' ''let me finish.''
''......'' i shut myself up and listened. she continued. ''are you willing to let him go?" "excuse me? " "You love him. You always did. I've been your teacher for the past years and also a close person to you. Ever since he came back to the village he matured didn't he? You two became closer. "
I stayed silent. But my heart wasn't. It was pounding through my chest rapidly as if it wanted to burst free.
You wanted to lessen the burden of finding sasuke so that's why you told you lo-"
"...if he's happy why does all of this matter? she can make him happy, all i did was curse him and ignored his love for me. i was running fter someone who didnt even love me!he deserves this happiness! so yes, im willing to let him be happy!"
Tears were just spilling now. the pain just grew a little stronger..i can feel it. tsunade stared at me without saying a word. She just took out some papers. I wiped my face. she gave me a paper. i read it and looked up at her. '"lady tsunade..." "in your current state you wont be much help to us. take some off. besides,you need it" i tried to convince her to let me stay, but she wouldnt budge. after a few tries, i decided to leave.
im on my way home now. Maybe she's right. I need rest. I looked up to the sky. not a cloud in sight. the wind blew with leaves following behind. it was beautiful. a real smile finally managed to appear. i looked back to the road i was walking . i stopped as i did. "......" Hinata and naruto were infront of me. He was staring deep into her eyes and she was staring into his. they loved eachother...so romantically.... So close.. i turned and walked away. there's that pain again. slowly growing stronger.
