It's been years since I left Konoha. 
Years since I lost my friends. Maybe it was the other way around.

I still don't have any clue why they turned on me.

Sure, I was always the weak one in Kakashi-sensei's team, which proves my uselessness.
I couldn't do much except heal but Naruto and Sasuke were both strong enough to handle themselves.

And I've had my fair share of flaws: my quick-tempered personality, my ridiculous belief in the possibility of the impossible (which is ironically inspired by Naruto), and of course, the unknown demon that lives in my mind.

But these flaws aren't the only things that I have. 

I have my bright pink hair and my emerald eyes which both show my own will of fire when I get pumped up.

I would never give up on someone, even at the brink of their death or mine, I wouldn't even think about leaving them behind.

But I don't understand. No matter how hard I train myself, at the end of the day, I'm the one who needs to be saved.

It's like I can't do anything that could help.

Am I a burden?

Is that all I could be? A burden?

Will I ever impro-

"Sakura, who are you talking to?"

"Didn't I tell you not to read my mind? This is like the fifth time now, Itachi."

"I didn't read your mind. You were speaking out loud."

"No I wasn't."

"Yes you were."

"No I wasn't."

"You know I could do this all day, right?"

"Shut up, you red-eyed duckbutt. Go back to whatever the hell you were doing and leave me alone."

Take 2: 

I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm so scared.
I want to prove myself, but then again, I'm scared that I might lose who I really am.

Who am I? Who's the pink-haired girl that I see in the mirror?

Who is Sakura Haru-

"Oh for crying out loud!"

1 part Complete
She had wasted years chasing a dream that was never meant to be. Sasuke Uchiha is dead-killed by Naruto in their final battle. Sakura Haruno should hate him for it. She should blame him, curse him, and despise him for breaking his promise. But she can't. Because deep down, in the hollowed-out remains of her heart, she knows the truth: Naruto was never the one who failed her. She was the one who failed him. Once, he had been hers to claim-the one boy who saw her, recognized her, and cherished her without hesitation. But she had turned away, blind to what she had until it was gone. And now, as she watches him in absolute love with another-with the fire, devotion, and tenderness she once craved-Sakura is left to drown in the weight of her mistakes. For once, she reaches out to the only friend she has left. But as the hours pass and the truth becomes unbearable, one question lingers in the cold Konoha air: What does a person do when there's nothing left to hold onto? Tonight, under the quiet glow of Konoha's bright lanterns amongst the cold winds, one last mistake waits to be made. Canon Divergences: Sakura never trained under Tsunade, never reached her full potential, and remained a low-tier kunoichi under Kurenai's genjutsu tutelage. Her obsession with Sasuke only worsened over the years. Naruto, no longer the boy who once begged for her affection, is soon to be Hokage and devoted to Hinata, the soon to be Hyuga clan head, the woman he truly loves. As the past and present collide, Sakura is forced to face the life she could have had-and the one she threw away.

"The world is grey, it's simple, nothing can be trusted. For a child like me, who can I trust in this place with everything trying to take my life? That grey tree, it could fall on me, this grey building I hide in, it could collapse on me. Nothing is bright because everything is grey. People are the greyest of them all. That's how life is when no one can show you color. The two lifeless bodies who once shown brightly to me, they too are now grey. The two who showed me the world with colorful books are now cold and lifeless, blending with the grey. I too, would be joining them, eventually that is. I, who was never colorful, will be going to where color shall show. At least, that's what I hoped for. I saw the colors of the sky, but it was all a ruse of false hope. The world was grey again, and I was stuck drowning in it once again." When a child turns into a girl, the colors show. All it took was being happy with life and enjoying what you had. That was something a child couldn't understand like a girl could. When one who has had nothing gains something, they understand. A girl who lost her two colors in the world, understood why color existed. It wasn't because the world is out for you at all times. It's because the one who is most untrustworthy is yourself. The girl learned after she gained her colors. She couldn't see her colors because she couldn't understand what she was missing. It's not that she was missing anything, it was that she was always concerned about what she was missing. In other words, you can only see color if you can gather the courage to stop doubting why you exist. That's exactly what the girl learned after so long. Years of her own self-loathing curiosity were only holding her back. A child who couldn't understand what anything meant, now a girl who can forget that and start living her own life with her own choices. That's the life of Rizuka Kyoyin, the Sightless Silver. {Mary Sue Warning} ~Book One of the Silver Series~ -Love Kimi

[ Highest Ranking: #1 in Naruto ] [ Highest Ranking: #1 in Uchiha ] A will. A faculty leading to an action. A resolution. Everyone has a will, a reason.

距 - Distance ...---... "Sakura..." she turned towards me, sending a smile. I felt my heart flutter at the sudden sight. "Yes?" "If two people love each other, they get together, right?" She seemed confused at my question, but nodded. "Yeah. Why?" I faked a smile and shook my head. "Nothing." "Well, I'm sure that you'll meet a pretty boy that would love you too." I felt my smile drop, but as always, I kept it up. In my head I scowled, because it wasn't a boy I wanted, like any other cliche romance story. I wanted her. ...---... If two people love each other, they should get together. But...this is different. Because she's pretty. I'm ugly. She's rich. I'm poor. She has her family. I have an unloving brother. She has friends. I'm a loner. She's popular. I'm just her old friend that clung onto her. ...---... I look at her across my room, wondering how it was possible we managed to stick together for so long. All I was to her was someone who listened to her problems, defended her from people, and gave her a Laffy Taffy every Tuesday after her volleyball practice. "Just a friend," I imagined she would say when her other friends would ask her who I was. And now we sit, at four in the morning, completing homework. I watch her as she averts her eyes to the window, the one she usually snuck out of, and bobs her head to the tune blasting out of those pink headphones of hers. Her half lidded emerald eyes, dubbed with exhaustion, glisten in the moonlight, as her ruby lips mouth along with the music. Maybe, if I got closer... And then I remember where we are. Who we are. I'm just her roommate. She's my friend. Maybe...this distance is enough. Because every time I try to get closer, he would come and ruin it all. "Its best if you just stay away," he'd say. As I soon get my head out of the clouds, I see her, with her pink hair and emerald eyes. I unnoticeably sigh before returning to my work. This distance is enoug
