SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 24: After Winter Comes Spring

Her mother had taught her that after a tragedy something
good will inevitably come to balance the scales. So Sakura knew that after the
rain came the sun, after the winter came the spring, and after a bad hair day
came a good hair day. Now she wished the problems were as simple.

Disaster after disaster had befallen them after the chunin
exams an every time something bad happened she told herself something good’s on its way.

And then, Sasuke left.

After that everything was a downward spiral of bad after bad.
And she learned something new, something her new teacher taught her, you can’t sit around and wait for a change,
you have to make one.

She thought she’d learned, but as she turned to the sound of
lighting she was back to being a child. After
a bad thing came a good thing.

We’re the bad thing.
There was a wild look in his eyes as he charged toward her, a final
confirmation that her Sasuke was long gone. She closed her eyes, awaiting the
strike of the lighting blade against her chest.

And as she did she told herself, the same way she would as a
child, something good’s on its way.
