I had a hate-love relationship with Sakura a lot preTS, mostly because I couldn't understand her inability to make a decision on who she wanted to be. Did she want to be the damsel in distress to be saved by Sasuke or a ninja? You can't have both. I always liked her away from Sasuke, because she was so much more like how I write her: sardonic, passionate to the point it -is- a strength, and actually quite funny.

Thanks for the comment, it means a lot!
