Summary
“Wanna smoke?”
Shikamaru raises his packet of cigarettes. Sakura leans over the balcony, hair twisting down her face. Laughs. That fake smile such a quick, beautiful lie. Perhaps not such a lie after all. The clouds above going gold. It's become a routine, by now - her above, him below, calling up. A comfortable kind of repetition.
“Some other time, Nara,” She says.
Her shunshin sounds like the beginnings of a summer storm in the trees - it’s so fast, it barely leaves a trace.
(In which Sasuke goes missing, Naruto runs after him, and Sakura is left to stitch it all together as she always is. Funnily, she's got pretty good at it over all these years.)

Summary
"Because Sakura doesn’t blink the same 14-20 times per minute as all the other civilian born in their class do.
No, it seems that Sakura, pink-haired, quiet, bookish, civilian-born Sakura somehow Just. Doesn’t. Blink.
AT ALL.
Or at least she hasn’t in the past 20 minutes he’s watched her."
orSakura is not shy, just odd. She never has a fateful encounter with Ino, instead, she has a rather confusing one with Shikamaru a few years later

Summary
His eye caught the sudden flash of color against the drab backdrop of the blacks, dark greens, browns, and blondes that littered the area. The pale pink seemed to glow under the amber bar lighting making her look almost ethereal and angelic. But he knew better than anyone that she was anything but. He saw the darkness that lingered in her eyes like a predator lying in wait for its next meal.
Kakashi notices something off about his former student and what starts as a wellness check turns into something a lot more complicated as he discovers more and more about her. POV switches between Kakashi and Sakura. Starts off with her at 17 and him at 31. Will add tags as I go.
