Soo I made another horrible and depressing drabble or something, I don't know how many words are in it. This fanfic is when Sakura runs away with, you guessed it, SASUKE after the war and just left Naruto all alone and stuff. This is basically just a bunch of her regret. So, let me know if you enjoy this (if you can enjoy what I write, considering how terrible I write) and thank you for your time!

-------------------------------

Silently, Sakura walked, aimlessly really. She ran away two years ago with Sasuke. Sasuke? Did she really? Goodness sakes, what went through her mind? Who knew if anybody would take her in after that.

As she went down a road, nostalgia filling her, a blonde man was dragging his feet in her direction. He looked tired and wasn't looking forward to what would happen in the next hour or so. Eventually the exhausted man looked up, and saw her.

"S-Sakura-chan?..." Wide eyes scanned her, suddenly more awake than before.

"Hey, Naruto. How are you?"

"I-I'm good," Still very much shellshocked. "Wasn't expecting you back. Like, ever." He chuckles faintly, and small talk ensues.

They do everything they can to avoid the topic of the last time they saw each other., but it's too awkward.

'I can't keep doing this small talk thing. Time to break the ice, Sakura.' "I'm sorry," For two years she had been planning on how this would play out, but all she could mutter was 'I'm sorry.'

"The last time we saw each other, you told me you loved me. Scared, I ran away like a jerk. I just want to apologize for how I reacted. And that," Damn it, damn it, DAMN it, she couldn't look him in the eyes. "I love you."

Years led up to this. She finally figured it out.

Oh, but Fate was never kind.

Agonizing pain hit him. "You're too late, Sakura-chan," It was Naruto's turn to feel guilty. "Me and Hinata," Sakura braced herself for the worst, as he managed to get the words out, stuttering a few times, "We have a son and another on the way." He was going to say something else, but Sakura beat him to it.

"We've been busy, eh?"

'Wait what.'

"You and Sas.. A chi-"

"I, I really rather not talk about how it happened. Sasuke isn't, he never will be, going to be there, so really, I'm raising it myself. But yes."

Once he got over his on-going shock, he spoke again, "Back to us, no matter how I feel, I can't leave Hinata, Sakura-chan. It would be cruel. Not fair to her."

'So? Life's not fair. My life sure hasn't been fair. Why does Hinata get all she wants? On a silver platter no less.'

"We have two children. Two," He continued, "I'm sorry." He was sincere. All of his words came from the heart.

"It's okay." Liar. "I understand completely." Why Hinata? "You best be going, Naruto. It's awfully late." Why are you making him leave?

"I'm really sorry, again. You sure you'll be okay?" She nodded in response.

"I'm fine." Lies are flowing like a fountain. "Don't worry about me." He gave her one last glance, then headed home.

Once he was out of ear shot, but not out of sight, she said something before she left, "If we loved again, I swear I'll love you right."

I'M BACK. (lol honestly who cares) Enough about me, a couple of days ago I was on Tumblr and saw this super amazing (wow such great words you used there) edit and I HAD to write something like it. It was all angsty and stuff, so right up my alley. I hope I didn't like plagiarize it or anything (maybe only the last line), cause I don't really remember a majority of it. This is after 700, it's a sorta letter (how can something be a sorta letter?) thing from Sakura to Naruto. I understand it's not formatted like an actual letter, but roll with it. If I don't stop typing, this will be longer than the story itself. Any who, let me know what you think and hope you enjoy!

----------------------------

'Dear Naruto,

How are things? How's Hinata? The children? We haven't spoken in awhile, we never seem to be able to catch each other, so I decided to write and send this letter.

As for my life, Sarada is well. She seems to have a lot of trouble with her jutsus, but I know she'll be fine. Sasuke is out on Taka business, as usual.

I'm just gonna cut right to the chase. I can't hold it in anymore. Too many years have passed.

I understand you don't love me anymore. But I know we could have been, a thing. And what really sucks, is that that never happened.

You know, Naruto, maybe in another universe, you and me could be something more. Something extraordinary. We could have gotten the ending we deserved.

Sasuke wouldn't have gotten in the way, and Hinata wouldn't have stolen your heart.

Goodness, here I am complaining about how I screwed up and want to change it. But can't you envision it?

You would be your old idiot self, getting injured always, you Baka, and eventually would get fully bandaged.

I would spend days at the hospital just healing you. And you would make me feed you Ichiraku's, only Ichiraku's, ramen. I'd pretend I hated it, but secretly love it.

Years full of regret have gone by knowing this all could have happened, Naruto.

You just found me in the wrong universe.'

I swear if I keep making these things at this rate I'll just clog up the forum with my small stories. I should make a blog where I post all my fanfics, cause they're pretty short. Back to the story now, it's after 700, in a sorta third person/Sakura POV, and is extremely short. Also, excuse how bad this is. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

Something felt absent in her life.

It wasn't a subtle change. It was as if a part of her left.

Something.... Missing. Something she always had. It was gone.

As she exited her tiny (rather run-down) apartment to head to the hospital, she noticed Naruto's children playing in the streets, while Hinata and Naruto watched their children on a bench, every now and then yelling to watch out for other people or 'Don't run into the cabbage stand again!'. Hinata's head rested on his shoulder, while Naruto adorned small, sweet kisses on her forehead.

That could have been her forehead, their children playing in the streets, and she could of been his partner in life.

But he didn't love her like before.

And it left a shadow in her heart where his love used to be.

Sooo what do I do at 1-2 in the morning? MAKE ANOTHER FANFIC! So this is before 693 sorta and is 100% OOC okay? Okay. (no TFIOS reference) (And I forgot to tell anybody this was SasuHina) This might really suck cause it's short and potentially lame but... Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Their last kiss was gentle, and tasted of tears.

Once they separated from their intimate embrace, she held his rough face in her delicate hands.

"Sasuke-kun," she said breathlessly, "please you don't have to leave. You can-"

He gently shushed her, "Don't. I'm lucky the Hokage hasn't already put a bounty on my head. It's safer for you and me if I leave."

"But you might get hurt." The look of worry was plastered on her flawless pale face.

"You don't need to worry about me, Hinata. Worry about yourself and being the best heir to the Hyugaa clan they ever had." He watched in pain as the tears came out of her white eyes when he said those words.

"You're leaving me. You're leaving me." Her breathing became more rapid. "Promise me you'll come back, alright?"

"I'll be back."

But he never came back.
--------------
(now that I look at it, it was a lot shorter than I planned)

Sooo I wrote another fanfic (jeez how many will I write). This is slightly OOC and is after 700. It's in third person/Sakura's POV. If that makes sense. So, enjoy and let me know what you think! (why do all my titles start with 'he/she wasn't' what's wrong with me)

Hinata served another cup of tea. "I'm sorry, I know you want to see-"

"It's fine, it's fine, trust me. I understand Hokage duties are time consuming," She sipped her fifth cup of tea. She really didn't care for more tea, or tea at all, but drank it anyway, to be polite. Hinata spent so much time trying to entertain her while Naruto was busy.

Hinata always has been extremely sweet and caring. Made a perfect wife for Naruto. She couldn't even get Sasuke to stay for dinner. The times he'd bother to show up.

Naruto walked in, running his hand through his golden hair, sitting down on the stressed couch opposite of her, "Sorry about that." He chuckled and Sakura smiled falsely. There was then a shriek and the sound of something breaking.

"Excuse me," Hinata left the room. Sakura instantly felt less tense, more at ease. It was just him and her. Felt familiar.

"So honestly, how are you? No people watching."

"I'm good. Being Hokage is tiring, but awesome. Hinata is lovely, didn't know how I didn't see it before. Fatherhood is, nice."

"Life's good?"

"Life's great." He smiled in effort to convince her, but his smile was pretty difficult to trust.

"I'm so sorry we hardly talked Sakura-san," she frowned, he dropped the 'chan' from her name, "but I'm very busy. It was great to see you." He got up and grabbing his Hokage cloak, left.


She felt like she was about to cry.


As she reeled over her life, she realized that he was, as annoying as he was, the majority of her happiness. Always cracked her up (on the inside, of course), and made her smile. Naruto loved her.

But the old Naruto was gone. Her Naruto was gone. And it was her fault. She rejected and left him for Sasuke. Now this was the price fate felt appropriate to bestow for her stupid mistake.

The Naruto that loved her devotedly was gone.

And she couldn't quite accept that.
