Thread: After The War [A Naruto RP (Yuna & Yajirobe's 1x1)]

Sakura Haruno RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg Even when Sakura had sworn she truly did cry all the tears possible, more seemed to fall for a good hour -- probably longer. She wasn't exactly sure without some source which told the time. But when she was done regaining her composure - mental more than physical - she stood up on her feet. Swallowing softly, she tried to contemplate on what to do. The visit hadn't only been on her behalf but also for Ino. She knew her blonde friend would have eagerly joined her if she had the opportunity. But now especially that all of Team Asuma had been forced to be mostly orphans, everyone from the group was busier than usual. Though it was definitely more if one had business-like duties to attend to, like Ino herself. As the suggestion to walk around the village from Shikamaru echoed in her ears, she nodded. She already had an exact person in mind who probably needed some form of support and almost never had any at her own place. Hinata Hyuuga. The poor heiress's father was often busy with his duties to the clan or teaching Hanabi to try to take over. He was a complicated and eerily stoic man that few people could begin to understand. Though with knowing he had been forced to watch his own nephew die protecting both Naruto and Hinata, he probably had been wearing the guilty very heavily as of late. Her head shook lightly as pink locks tossed from side to side gently. Her feet guided her towards Hinata's residence. With no more Uchihas alive, the Hyuugas now had the biggest households around in Konoha so it was as easy to locate as the Hokage's Office. After a soft sigh left, she gave a gentle knock on the door. Thankfully, it was only Hinata whom had answered. It meant, more likely than not, that Sakura had calculated well enough she would be completely - if not mostly - alone. A soft smile crossed her lips as her green orbs met the pair of Byakugans in front of her. The other kunoichi's face didn't look much better than her own ... and it was fair to assume she'd had her own crying fit recently too. Then again ... she had genuinely loved Naruto and anyone from the Academy had known that for years. All knew this except the baka Naruto ... up until she confessed when Pein invaded. And even then ... the poor Hyuuga's words had seemed to go unheeded. She never did get a reply back now that Sakura thought on it. Were it not for her still seeing Hinata in front of her, she would have allowed her fists to clench and given into the urge to punch something. Even with Naruto's flaws, though, he had definitely been one of the most charismatic shinobi all of Konoha ever had. And that had definitely been one good reason so many from the village were still mourning him. But Sakura also knew there were many other reasons that the death had bothered Hinata. For her, Naruto hadn't just been someone she had loved, but her inspiration and hero. How are -- ?? Sakura then stopped, sighing softly as she pulled the girl in an almost sisterly-like embrace. .... Sumimasen ... She murmured softly, the simple apology causing poor Hinata to resume sobbing softly, her tears falling on the pink-haired girl's clothes and shoulders. Verbally, not much was said but when Sakura felt she had finished helping the Heiress out, she bowed her head. Only when she was damn well sure she could leave her alone and she would be well enough did Sakura begin to head back towards the Hokage's Office. Before she actually got inside, though, her eyes found him on the rooftop. A low chuckle left and after a quick jog up the stairs to the top of the building, soon arriving at the roof, did she climb up beside Shikamaru. I'm assuming everything that needed to be dealt with has been back in that messy excuse of an office? She asked in a half-teasing and half-serious tone. Really, Tsunade did a horrid job of keeping that workspace organized. How did it not drive her insane? Well ... maybe it did and that was why she often drank a lot. Who knew the exact reasons? Her own eyes stayed upon Shikamaru for a few moments, not minding his own remained upward and away from her. While awaiting his reply, her head turned and joined his as she, for once, began to gaze up towards the clouds and sky. Sakura began to understand a bit of why the hobby had appealed so much to the Nara it easily brought forth a sense of peace and calmness. The emotions were otherwise difficult to obtain from a typical shinobi's life and routine. Maybe ... she should do this more often. Her smile widened at the idea as she continued to gaze upward.
