He would never be hers; she understood that now. Pale green eyes watched as her first love walked with another, someone she'd have never thought to see him with. Oddly enough, they clicked well. A small, bittersweet smile crossed her lips. It hurt to realize this. Lord, did it hurt, but, as she always had, she kept going. It was all she could do now, move on. She was happy for him, sure, but she still wished it was her, even now. She would always love him, that raven. She'd love them both, but it would never be the way she wanted. They'd already decided and that was good enough for her.

Sasuke would forever be untouchable, just as he had been before. And she would have to move on.

Walking away from the raven and his partner, she kept her tears inside. It wouldn't do now to cry, even though they'd be tears of joy and not pain. Looking to the sky, dark clouds were rolling in, a sign of rain. She simply smiled. She was at peace with everything and that's just how it should be.

And then the rain fell. She let it soak her, her face upturned to the sky, washing away all those negative feelings she harbored deep down. After a minute, she looked away from the sky, her face turned away, a smile on her face as she danced in the rain, walking back to where she lived.

"Are you some sort of moron?"

She paused for a moment. That pompous voice sounded familiar. Turning, she saw a pair of grey-lavender eyes staring intensely at her.

"Why would you want to know? I thought most people were below you."

He glowered at her, turning his face away in arrogance, "It's destined for morons to die early."

Giving him a rather good w.t.f. expression, she asked in return, "So?" He looked at her, wondering why she answered as such, but never said a word of it. Shaking her head, she added, eyes dead on level with his, "I'm not afraid." Even though lightning began to flash at a distance and thunder made it's presence known soon after, the pink haired girl kept going, dancing a little as she went.

And she left him confused. Who in their right mind wouldn't fear destiny? He couldn't understand it. And he wanted to know more.

If only his pride would let him.
