"Snow Falling on Flames"
The battle was over. Those that remained tiredly gathered those that had fallen. The Princess had gone with Dotou. Naruto had managed to get himself on the airship as well. Sakura hoped he would be safe. Her inner self was bitter that he’d be warmer on the airship even if he was risking his life. She glanced at Sasuke to see if he was warm enough.
The stoic Uchiha was standing a few feet away from her with his face lifted to the sky. “It’s snowing.”
Sakura blinked confusedly and then raised her face as well. It was a very light sprinkling of snow. The flakes were small and melted as quickly as they landed on her sweat-stained face.
“Sasuke! Sakura! Come on, we’ve got to get going!” their teacher called to them. Sasuke glanced at his partner to see if she needed help before heading to the grey-haired Jounin.
Their teacher was tying some ninja dogs he had summoned to a sled and motioned for the two to settle themselves in it. Sakura blushed at the close proximity she and her crush had to share. Kakashi stood behind them and snapped the reigns telling the dogs to start on their way. As the sled pulled away from the remaining ninja and movie crew Kakashi explained how they would break into the compound. Sasuke would occasional ask questions which the Jounin answered as best he could. “It’s been a very long time since I was at the palace, things might have changed a bit. We’ll need to be extra careful since we don’t know what type of trouble Naruto’s gotten himself into.”
The snow started falling more quickly and thickly. Sakura twisted in her seat to look behind her teacher. They had quickly moved away from the battlefield and the people were quickly being obscured by the falling snow. Through the white haze she saw a black ribbon grow as it rose from the ground. “Kakashi-sensei, what are they doing?” she asked, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ears.
Sasuke turned to see what she was asking about. Their teacher kept looking ahead, though. “They’re burning the bodies of the fallen ninja,” he answered her somberly.
“So that any secrets from their village cannot be stolen?” Sakura inquired.
“Yes.”
Sasuke turned away from the growing bonfire of the fallen and closed his eyes to rest. Sakura kept her gaze upon the smoke as it wove its way up to the heavens. ‘It’s beautiful in a way,’ she thought to herself. The snow began falling even harder and she pulled her cape tighter around her body before laying her forehead on her forearms. It was beautiful, but it was morbid beauty she never wanted to see again. She became lost in her thoughts and began to sleep lightly. She woke up when Sasuke gently shook her shoulder.
“Sakura, we’re almost to the palace. You need to wake up so you’re alert once we sneak in,” his voice was soft and gentle without losing an authoritative tone. She smiled bashfully and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Sasuke pulled his hand away from her shoulder and turned his attention to his equipment, hoping that the faint heat he felt in his cheeks hadn’t turned into a blush that she could see. His pink-haired teammate slowly reached for her own pouches to make sure she had the proper number of kunai and shuriken. “Are you all right, Sakura?”
The question startled her and she raised her eyes to Sasuke’s. “I can’t stop thinking about the ninja who died. I mean, I know that their bodies need to be disposed of to protect their village, but to die in such a way in a place like this,” her voice trailed off as she glanced around at the white environment. “To live your life in such a cold and barren place and then let the flames take your body after you pass on, it seems sad to me.” She shrugged and tugged on her cape to remove the snow from it.
“I don’t think they mind. They became ninja, after all. They knew that they might die the way they did,” Sasuke responded.
Sakura nodded. “I wonder how many of them wished they could see Spring once more before dying.”
Sasuke peered at the kunoichi and noticed her sad expression. “You’ll live to see Spring again, Sakura.”
Sakura paused and looked at her lifelong crush. She was confused and surprised, unsure of what to say in response to his statement.
The black-haired ninja kept his gaze on her. “I promise.”
