Five, Naruto: Scars, part 2

Obsessive love isn't pretty for anyone involved- or - Why I Can't Read SasuSaku, Reason #1.
-------------

Sakura doesn't get it, and Ino knows she doesn't. Sakura still pines after Sasuke, even though Lee has room enough in his heart for her and her screaming complexes- even though Neji casts rebellious glances at his uncle and stands a few inches too close to her, insinuating things that only another Hyuuga could read. Sakura would have seen it, too, if she weren't too wrapped up in her neat little world of medical diagrams.

The body is healthy when all of its parts are working together in harmony; that's a lesson Ino has learned over and over again, in the shop with flower arrangements and on the battlefield with a man bleeding out at her feet.

She pities Sakura, who hides in the hospital with the dying and waits for the rest of her body to return to her. Team Seven was never healthy to begin with, but the amputation of the diseased limbs merely left the body aching with phantom pain.

Ino doesn't know how to fix her friend; she only hopes that time will heal her eventually. She doesn't know medicine; she only knows the cycles of flowers, and she worries.

The lifespan of a cherry blossom is brief, after all.
