Autumness

The last thing you remember feeling before falling was the stinging pain at your side and the fear of losing someone just because you are injured and not fit to fight properly. The last thing you remember seeing after you fell was a clear voice shouting out a curse and a flash of green. The last thing you remember hearing before you blacked out was a bitter voice screaming in denial and the name of your favourite uncle. Opening your eyes, you see the surrounding darkness. Raising your arm, you wince in pain. You try to find out where you are, but to no avail. Feeling your eyelids getting heavy, you are tempted to give in to sleep. But someth

Her hands were full, carrying the orders of coffee and snacks for her collegues. Walking back to the hospital from her car, Sakura was thinking about how to avoid Uchiha Sasuke when she spotted the figure running out of the hospital, towards her. Before she could react, Ino had crashed into her, causing her to drop everything in her hands. The cups of coffee flew from her hands and all over both her trench coat and Ino’s silver water-like material halter top and her white plait skirt. “Oh, drats… How dare you? I just bought this! Are you blind?” Sakura watched as the blonde muttered to herself, unaware of the doctor’

The Hokage watched as people in black gathered around the Hokage Residence. Today was the day, the day that she dreaded the most. Tsunade leaned into her chair and covered her eyes with her arm. ‘Kami-sama… Why her?’ She did not react when the door to her office opened. “Tsunade-sama, we have to start soon. The villagers are all here,” Shizune watched as her mentor stood up slowly as if she had aged ten more years all of a sudden. Tsunade was not as young as she seemed, and the event of today was a harsh blow on her. “Let’s go then. Best not let the village wait for their Hokage,” Tsunade walked to th

He hated the Spring. The start of a new year. The start of another year that he had to live through with the fact that he could not succeed the Hyuuga clan.  He was so much stronger than Hanabi, so much smarter than Hinata. In addition to these, he was a guy. Both his cousins were female, which meant that they would be married out. He could be successful, he could lead the clan to even more greatness. But he was not part of the main family. On the day when Spring arrived at Konoha each year, he would stay in his room, he refused to watch the flowers in bloom together with the rest of the family. He hated Spring. She hated the Winter. The end

“Okaachan! I want to be part of the celebration too! It’s so colourful…” Sakura smiled as her youngest child, the only daughter, whined. It was 5th May, which was Kodomo no hi, or Boys’ Festival. Families with sons celebrated this festival, and in her small family, Sakura has three sons. Hyuuga Hatori, the oldest, followed by Hyuuga Aira and lastly, Hyuuga Eyu. “It’s the Boys’ Festival, Eri. Which means that you can’t really participate in the celebrations, but you did help out. I’m sure your father appreciates your help on choosing the colours of the koinobori. Isn’t that right, Otoucha

When he set his eyes on her, he thought that the beauty she possessed was one that should last forever. With the rare hair colour of pink, combined with her green eyes full of determination, Sakura would be the most beautiful puppet he would ever have. He would preserve her beauty and finally prove to Deidara that art was beauty to be preserved and everlasting instead of existing for a short while and then exploding. She eyed him with caution. Sasori was shockingly young in his appearance. Based on what she guessed, he should be around Kakashi’s age, which must be at least 30. But Sasori looked younger or as younger as her. His angelic

Her eyes puffy, Sakura headed out of her office. Ignoring the stares of the nurses and doctors passing by, she punched her card and drove out of the hospital car park. She was close to breaking the speed limit, but she did not care for it. She needed somewhere to go, anywhere but home. After driving about for a while, she decided where exactly to go. Sitting and knitting on her rocking chair, Haruno Saki was surprised to hear a car pull into the front of her apartment. 'Who could that be? Sakura-chan's still at work, so who would bother to visit this old woman?' Placing her knitting down, she got off her chair and looked out her window. A re

The ground beneath him shook and broke apart. Jumping away before he could get pulled into the hole created thanks to the gravity, Deidara glanced at the girl who had destroyed the hard soil which he was standing on. Glaring at the missing-nin, Sakura smirked. Whispering a ‘I missed’ under her breath, she prepared to attack him while he was in mid-air. After all, it was difficult to dodge in the air, so she would not miss. Sakura gathered her chakra into her fist and lunged herself at the falling ninja. Instead of hitting him solid on the chest, he somehow managed to maneuver away from her attack and caused her to brush against his
