Resting Mind

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Hn. Sasuke didn’t even understand himself anymore. He found himself wandering to the strangest places. The park? He never liked the park before. Well, he did…but those days were long gone. No point in hanging on to them. Even if the memories were better than the reality he was in now. I don’t care. The past is done. He let out a grumpy sigh as he sat down on the park bench.

He felt strange nowadays. No where to really go and belong to. And no one that really let him feel belonged. Itachi was still a lazy jerk, he hated himself for how he treated Tenten that day. And Naruto. It pissed him off just to see that kid. It made him mad to see someone like him. He was able to hold his composure somehow…

Eh, lighten up. Lord knows you need to. Sasuke ignored that voice. That voice only annoyed him further. It had caused him hurt her, and that was enough reason for him to hate it. Sasuke closed his eyes, his brow twitching in annoyment, and laid back on the park bench.

[Kzii Ayukii]

Ayukii stopped in front of the park. She had four shopping bags on both arms. Happy with her purchases, she plopped down under a tree. She pushed the bags under a near by bush and stared at a group of humming birds circling a flower.

Ayukii wondered what it would be like to be a humming bird, what it would be like to fly carefree no matter what was going on in the world. She sneered at her thought. It's WAY better being a human, and besides, humming birds don't have money! She looked up at the sky and started watching clouds pass by. But somehow she felt an emptiness inside. She knew money couldn't buy everything.

She sneered again. Of course money can't buy EVERYTHING! But it buys alot. She felt a ping of sadness. Ayukii knew money didn't buy everything, it didn't buy happiness, and most importantly, it didn't buy her father's time. She sighed and closed her eyes.
