Time…it's one thing I'm running out of. There's so much blood and I can't save him. I'm scared, so scared – I don't know what to do…my thoughts, everything I've learned is escaping me! I need to calm down, concentrate – FOCUS, FOCUS! AH! Ok I can do this.
I hear a voice? Whose voice is that, "ITACHI – ITACHI DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME! I NEED YOU, I love you…DAMIT. Please…please fight! DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON ME!" Ah it's Sakura. Looks like she found me after all…
As I was healing him I felt a hand caress my cheek. He reached up to feel that I was there, "I love you too Sakura." Tears of relief flooded my blood stained face. A smile graced my small features. I was done healing him when he sat up and said to me, "Do you know what this means Sakura? By saving me you've made my little brother…your former teammate come after you now – and you can never go back home…you do realize this right?" When he had finished I grabbed his hands in mine and i told him, "Yes I know all this Itachi, I was well prepared for that the moment I chose you. And I don't care as long as we're together." And with that the most breath taking smile graced his features as he held me close in strong embrace as he whispered into my ear, "Good because I am never ever letting you go again. Your place is by my side…now and forever."
It's been eight years since I died and was brought back. I have been blessed with three wonderful children and a wife whose love knows no bounds. I guess there is life after death…and it isn't bad either.
