OK OK I DON'T NOT!! I REPEAT, I DOOO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, JUST THERE SOULS LOLZ J/K

SAKURA NO NAKU KORO NI

Sakura haruno, just your average 17 year old girl. Its been a long time since sasuke came back to the village after killing orochimaru, he and naruto still don't see eye to eye and the rest of the village has been calm but alert. Sakura had long ago left behind any feelings for sasuke she realized above all others she preferred naruto. Her hair had grown once again and was now down to her butt, she carries her usual katana and wore mostly red and black. Though in front of naruto and the others she may seem alright, but she is going through more suffering then anyone in the village. Her only enemy is herself.

Friday morning in the Konoha training field. "hey forehead", and all but to familiar voice called to a pink haired kunoichi, "what is it ino" sakura sighed in disappointment, she really didn't like ino, she puts up with her as much as possible to keep her own sanity.

Sakuraaaa!!! You haven't been acting normal lately what's your deal huh?? Hey im talking to you, ino waved her hands in front of sakura continuously.

Im fine and even if I wasn't its none of your business. Sakura looked at ino with cold eyes, what doyou want since you went through the trouble of alarming the whole village just to find me, she sulked.

Ino stood there with a surprised look on her face, she new sakura had become somewhat depressed and started keeping to herself, but the one thing that surprised her most is that shes not once seen sakura look sasuke in the eye, instead of jumping on him, it was like she hated him. Umm, you know sakura if you ever need anything….

She was cut off when naruto and sasuke came walking by. "Heyyyy!!" naruto screamed being his usual self, you guys here to see me kick the living crap out of sasuke.

"whatever loser" sasuke interrupted. Sasuke looked at sakura, shes gotten really cute over the years now that I notice it, sasuke was lost in his thoughts and didn't notice sakura's voice.

"huh? what did you say"? He looked at her slightly dazed.

"I said is there something interesting on my face"? she literally had no emotion in her voice which seemed to turn sasuke on even more.

Ino noticed that sakura seemed to be staring into space a lot and wondered if she should tell naruto or the others.

"Umm guys im gonna head home ok", sakura announced while rubbing her head.

"Do you want me to walk you home", naruto walked over and put his arm around her.

"Ummm no I'll be ok" she gave him the most loving smile she could, she really did love naruto even if she didn't admit it, sasuke seem to notice this and became angrier.

"No I'll walk her home, you might get sidetracked on the way and something could happen", sasuke went to grab sakura's hand but it was quickly smacked away.

"Don't touch me"!!! she screamed, they all looked at her with surprise and notice that there was a tint of red in her eyes.

"I'll be fine just…leave me alone for a bit ok", with that she walked away leaving them all sunned and confused.

"Did you guys see that"? Ino turned to naruto who was to stunned to answer. She looked back at sasuke who seemed interested, something is definitely not right with her.

Sakura reached her house located on the outskirts on the village. "wh.who am I" "you are what you choose to be"
