[ Private to Sakura ]

[ That isn't how it happened, and you know it.

Remember, the spike going through your chest and your teacher's gaze falling, or maybe it was you. And the rain, coming down. (It had no patience, and could not wait, like the man who thought he was god.) Took your heart with it. Or maybe it was just your lungs. And the words that didn't come out. Couldn't. All locked up. Trapped there, under all the blood

[ Private to Kakashi ]

[Yes, it is. The hardest part. It's damn near impossible for her.

It's just as hard to face him--him, of all people--after that.

She's almost cowardly enough to turn off the Hitomi.

Almost.

But not quite.]

I know, Kakashi-sensei.

[But that doesn't mean she can.]

[ Private to Sakura ]

[ura_no_ura]

Try your best.

[ He says.

He doesn't tell her to learn from it, because he knows she already has. He doesn't tell her to be strong, because he knows she already is. But he does tell her this: ]

Let's work on getting stronger so it won't happen again.

[ Let's, because Kakashi failed, too.

When it mattered the most. ]

[ Private to Kakashi ]

[ground_breaker]

Okay.

[Her voice is strange, slightly hoarse, like she almost choked on that simple word.

It's all she can say. All she can promise is to try and do the impossible, work on getting somewhere she's never going to be.

She'll try because that's what she does. It's just that it's never going to happen. That's what she's realized.]

[ Private to Sakura ]

[parousian]

[ He watches with some kind of rapt attention. ]

Ah, yes. That was fun, wasn't it? We should do it again.

[Reaction]

[ground_breaker]

[Sakura's blood runs cold.

She turns the Hitomi over hastily.

No way she's responding to that one. She learned that lesson the hard way.]

[savour_the_pain]

[The logical course of action to take after seeing such a dream is to needle the dreamer! Hidan is amused.] Sadistic, backstabbing bitch.

Konoha sure know how to fucking make them, seriously.

[ground_breaker]

[Hidan's voice is a shock. She hadn't seen his post on the network and she wonders how many more of you are going to find your way to this place?]

You're here?

[She asks, before she can stop herself.]

[savour_the_pain]

[He rolls his eyes at the question. Dumb bitch.] No, I'm not. I just fucking look like that sexy man you're thinking of.

I'm really your fairy godmother and I've come to fucking sacrifice the three closest people to you.

[And he says that all with a straight face.]

[Backdated to 9/24 - Reaction] thought i already posted on this but okay

[Dreams are just random neurons firing in the brain. Just the drifting on an unconscious mind. They don't mean anything, really. That's what Sasuke believes. He probably shouldn't bother trying to read anything into this. And anyway, he barely understands himself, much less other people.

But.

Is Sakura afraid of him? Does she think of him as being the same as Madara?

She should be afraid. Sasuke isn't Madara. But she doesn't have any reason whatsoever to trust him. And a thousand reasons to despise him. So even if she still wears that friendly mask and tries to smile and act like she cares, in the end -

Can he even blame her?]
