I want to fix my own heart.
I want to heal my own heart.
I want to alter my memories.
I want to replace with them happier recollections.
I want to change his fate.
I want to entwine it with mine.
I want…
…I want—
But I would just keep wanting.
And do nothing.
But to wait.

I will keep my promise.
Even if I have to break his legs and arms, I'll keep my promise.
I will keep my promise.
Even if I have to become a monster.
I will keep my promise.
Even if I have to…
…pretend—
"Sakura-chan!"
"Baka!"
…that I'm fine.
…that I'm a very good best friend.
"Thank you… Naruto."
I'm fine.
I will keep my promise.
I will bring him back.
The promise of a lifetime.

Someday, I'll become stronger.
Someday, I'll understand her and her feelings.
Someday, I'll tell her.
For now, I'm not worried.
He's there to protect her.

They met.
They battled.
They cried.
And the cycle went on.
-
-
She kept running after him.
He kept running for her.
He kept running away.
-
-
In the battlefield, they met.
They stood in a circle. Bloodied, panting, tired of the running.
She was looking at him.
He was looking at her.
He was looking, but he saw nothing.
-
-
Over the horizon, the sun started to rise, lighting up the sky.
Her fist clenched tightly.
He gripped his kunai tighter.
He closed his eyes.
-
-
The sun completely rose.
Pink hair shimmered under the rays.
Blonde became more yellow.
Dark locks appeared golden.
-
-
She gritted her teeth.
He narrowed his blue eyes.
He opened his eyes.
-
-
The sunlight danced across the battlefield. The sky became golden yellow. Breeze swept over the three ninjas.
Knees bent.
Fists tightened.
Eyes lit up.
-
-
One.
Two.
Three.
-
-
Sasuke-kun.
Bastard.
Hn.
-
-
The battle began with no battle cries.
-
-
The sky lit up in yellows and oranges.
And the ground became red.
