(Location, Konoha streets)
Sakura was walking to her home, her hands holding each other and affront of her chest. She was feeling guilty, guilty that she had chased away her blond knuckled headed teammate out of the village.
While Sakura was walking she could hear a few people cheering in a pub saying "The Demon's finally gone", this made her a bit angry that people would celebrate because Naruto's gone and all because he has a demon sealed inside of him.
"HEY HAD YOU HEARD? THE DEMON'S GONE!" Shouted a happy man
"GREAT! WE HAVE FINALLY GOT RID OF THAT PEST!" Shouted another man
"HEY! BAR TENDER! GIVE EVERYONE HERE A DRINK! ALL ON ME!" Another Shouted
"FORGET ABOUT IT! DRINK ARE FREE FOR TODAY!" The bar tender Shouted
"CHEERS TO THE DEMON LEAVING!" Another man with his friend raised their drink and cheered
"DEATH TO THE DEMON!" They all shouted and laughed
Sakura heard of their small talk, she was disgusted that they would cheer that Naruto is gone. Naruto's not a demon, he's a good friend, he would never ever hurt anyone, he saved the village from Gaara, he showed the village of what he' really made of but yet half the population ignored it nice they were still mad at him for having the demon within him.
Sakura just started to walk a little faster. Ignoring all the cheers and shouts of happiness that Naruto I gone.
Sakura was depressed but this depression was different. She had never felt sad in her entire life.
It was almost like when Sasuke was injured, but yet this was much more than that.
Sakura could almost mentally break down because Naruto left, she could feel her heart shattering to a thousand pieces, something she had never felt with Sasuke.
But this wasn't about Sasuke, it was about Naruto, she has really missed Naruto bus didn't know why she was very sad about him. Why would she? She always said that he was annoying, an idiot and always blocked her from Sasuke.
During the time they were all a team Sakura has lost feelings for Sasuke, she only counts Sasuke as a friend not someone who she loves like she used to in the academy days. But she started to feel something for Naruto, she didn't know why she had been feeling for Naruto. She just thought that it was probably some kind of stupid Genjutsu that will wear off soon.
Yet she still had feelings for him, and now today she was very sad that she may not smile ever again that Naruto's gone. She didn't know why but she felt like her heart had stopped beating.
In situations like these Sakura goes to talk to the one person she was born with. Her inner self.
"Well, well, looks like you caused a real mess here aren't I right real me?" Inner Sakura Asked
"Well….., It was Naruto-Baka's fault for asking me out in a date." Sakura thought objecting to her Inner self
"There you go again. You see this is the problem here. You say that It's Naruto's fault this Naruto's fault that and you still treat him like trash." Inner Sakura Stated
"No I don't. I just want my first date to be with Sasuke-Kun. Not Naruto-Baka." Sakura explained
"I'm surprised that Naruto loved you this far. And you don't do a thing to help him." Inner Sakura said Ashamed of her host
"You heard Tsunadae-Sama. I'm ordered to stay within the village wall and not allowed to join the search party." Sakura objected
"So I picture instead of Naruto leaving but Sasuke and you're ordered to stay within the border. What will you do?" Inner Sakura asked
"Go after Sasuke-Kun of course." Sakura replied
"See what I'm talking about. All you care is Sasuke. You know you could care for Naruto for a change, you don't have to love him or anything just treat him like a friend and I'm pretty sure he'll be happy for you." Inner Sakura stated
"What're talking about? I do treat Naruto like a friend." Sakura replied
"HA,HAHAHAHAHA!" Inner Sakura laughed, "Did I hear you out correctly? You treat Naruto like a friend? Yeah right, that's not the way I saw it, you treated Naruto like the villagers do everyday." Inner Sakura stated
"THAT'S NOT TRUE! I do treat Naruto as a friend, not a demon like those villagers." Sakura replied Angrily
"Alright. Tell me when had you ever treated Naruto kindly? Go on?" Inner Sakura Asked
"Well there was the time that…, I told him that…, Well you could say that one time I said to Naruto…." Sakura couldn't answer as she was trying to think of a time that she had at least treated Naruto kindly
"I rest my case." Inner Sakura said, crossing her arms
"Hey there was a time I treated him kindly!" Sakura objected, raising he voice a bit
"Just admit it. You haven't treated him kindly at all. If you think of a time than you're wrong." Inner Sakura stated
"Well, there's no point in talking to an idiot like you, good bye." Inner Sakura then faded away
"HEY! WAIT THIS CONVERSATION ISN'T OVER YET!" Sakura shouted, but Inner Sakura was already gone
"*sigh* I don't know what's wrong with her? I have treated the Baka kindly. I mean I remember when ….." Sakura began thinking again of a time she treated Naruto kindly
"I can't think. So maybe in time I'll remember of a time I treated Naruto kindly." Sakura thought, with her eyes and mouth smiling
Sakura looked around and saw people putting decorations and building small models of Naruto that looks flammable. She saw a few of the models on fire with people laughing around the burning model.
Sakura was disgusted by the villager's attitude towards her blond teammate.
"How could they do this to Naruto, I mean he is an idiot and annoying but he doesn't deserve any of this because he has the nine tails in him. Why do people reject him, shout at him…, humiliate him….., hurt him…, and …., break his heart." As soon as Sakura was saying the last parts she was getting Ashamed each line she said about why the villagers do these things to him
"What am I talking about? I'm no better than the villagers, I treat Naruto exactly like they do. I called him a monster and said that he has a stupid dream of becoming Hokage. I insulted his dream in front of his face…., He doesn't deserve me." That last part Sakura had a few tears formed in her eyes then started to walk much, much faster than before
