Chapter 3 - Dry your tears

Ch. 3

`Why am I acting this way?' Sakura asked herself, `Why can't I pull myself together?'

She knew why, she only asked this question so that maybe, just maybe, she would get a different answer from her conscience. But it never worked.

She stood up suddenly and wiped her eyes. She ran toward the park, where she knew he would be. She could act, and maybe, just maybe, things could return to normal.

“Sasuke-kun!” Sakura said with a huge smile, all traces of her tears gone.

He looked up at her, a little surprised, “S-Sakura?”

She tried to look as confused as possible, “What?”

“But you were so… so…” Sasuke couldn't find a “good” word to say.

“Depressed? Miserable? Psycho? Crazy?” Sakura asked, still looking confused.

Her response took him by surprise. He stared at her for a second, his shocked face turning white. He looked almost as if he were in pain. It was almost unrecognizable though, and Sakura did not notice.

“What about…” Sasuke paused, his face getting paler, “you and… Naruto?”

“What about it?”

“I thought, I mean… you were acting so strange…”

“I never really cared about him, it was only a reflex. I would act like that if anyone I knew left this village.” She lied perfectly.

Her expression quickly turned to shock as she realized what had just happened. Sasuke had kissed her. Sasuke had kissed her! No. No! This wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to reject her as he always did! Things needed to be normal!

Naruto choked on air. Sasuke had kissed Sakura! It took his mind a while to comprehend this, and at first he thought it wasn't real.

But it was.

She obviously doesn't miss me very much, He thought to himself.

He held back tears he knew he'd cry, and backed away from the place that he saw the scene. He dashed toward his `home'… If you could call it a home.
