Void. There was nothing that resonated to these words than an aching emptiness inside of him. And of all the things, he didn't ever want her to see him like this, so-.. Oh for the love of amaterasu, she wouldn't even care!
"Nothing has gotten into me." He snapped back, sort of regretting the way he spoke but it was almost instincive. Little did she know that it was directed against her, but he was sad, angry, broken.. Little bits of pieces that scream for help from the inside yet all he could let out... was distancing himself from those that really care about him.
It has gotten more and more obvious that something was wrong with him, that there was something bubbling under the surface that just needs someone to to hold out their hand, pull him up and help him out. Sakura and him had always been close, pretty much so... But right now-... he was scared what she would think if she knew the truth.
It is hard knowing which part of this whole thing hurts more -- is it his words or the unexplainable coldness emanating his persona? Not that identifying which of the two will make the pain go away. Only she hoped, in doing so, she can understand what ( or why ) Kagami is acting this way.
Not that she is demanding him to pour his heart out to her. It’s true, she cares for him in ways that can easily be perceived as anything but romantic. But even so, putting the whole thing aside, it is hard seeing him in this hardened ( and indifferent ) state. The shadow of the man she knows gone without a trace.
“ I know you are lying, Kagami. Not just to me but to yourself in saying that there is nothing going on with you, “ she is hurt by the way he brushes her off, thinking the nonchalance in his response enough to keep her away from prodding ( worrying ) more. If anything, his words ( and tone ) only set alarm bells blaring inside her head, urging her to ask, to remain by his side, to patiently wait until he is ready.
Releasing a burdened sigh, eyes cast up unto the heavens as if waiting for a sign on what to do ( or say ) to comfort him, “ Look, Kagami, “ Sakura gently approaches the Uchiha, taking the empty spot beside him to take a seat, “ I can probably guess why you are pushing me away. But I don’t want to make any assumptions about this -- so I will wait until you are ready. If I can ask you for one thing, please, do not think nobody will ever understand or care to listen. Because I will. I will always be. “
