"No." Sobbed Sakura. "Naruto, please, just…No!" The green glow around her fingers flickered and stopped. She was out of chakra. Her chest heaved as she stared into his dying eyes, why? She wondered Why are you leaving my too? Her eyes wavered to the body of the raven-haired boy beside Naruto. His chest hiccupping with short dying breaths. In the end Naruto had been right; they both had died in that fight. "Can you hear me? Naruto? Sasuke?"

Sasuke opened his eyes to stare at her, he watched as her body shuddered and she chocked back her tears effortlessly. "Yeah. I can hear you Sakura." His throat ached as he spoke and his speech was garbled. But he had realized something when he fought Naruto; both of them had given up their lives to chase after him in what they knew were vain efforts to tear him off his dark path of revenge. Yet what had he done for them? Tried to kill them? The only people who hadn't given up on him? If only he hadn't needed to kill Naruto before his mind could come to this realization.

Naruto's hand came to Sakura's cheek, "Don't cry. I want to see your smile." Sakura held his hand to her cheek and shook her head.

"Baka. How am I supposed to smile when you're dying?"

Naruto wiped away a fresh tear that had rolled down her cheek. If only he had been stronger then he wouldn't be lying here on the ground surrounded by his dead comrades. That's right; if only. To think that in the end he would leave Sakura, which he could assure you is something he never planned on doing.

Sakura grabbed Naruto's and Sasuke's hands. "Your b-both going to be o-okay, do y-you understand t-that?" She stuttered. Whatever she may say all three of them knew it was only a matter of time. Both Naruto and Sasuke were losing blood fast.

Sasuke took a deep shuddering breath before speaking. "I'm sorry."

Sakura caught herself mid sob. She squeezed Naruto's hand. "You hear that Naruto? You did it. You finally saved Sasuke."

Their words fell on deaf ears as Naruto's eyes began to droop. He was tired, ever so tired. He just wanted to fade away and sleep. But even his simple mind could still compute the fact he was dying. He could feel the darkness ebbing towards him, it's hands reaching out threatening to pull him under. His throat bubbled over with blood and it ran down his chin, Sakura stared at him wide-eyed.

"No." she whisped. "Please Naruto!"

his bloodied mouth turned upward in the slightest of smiles and he whispered to her in an almost silent voice. "I love you." Sakura let out a loud sob as Naruto's hand fell from hers and she stared at his lifeless body in horror. Sasuke turned his head away unable to watch the sorrow that was his fault.

Sakura buried her head in her hands and screamed. Just screamed. He was gone. Dead. The day Naruto Uzumaki dies is one she fathomed she'd never see. She cried harder than she had ever before, He had loved her. Why? She would never know but his last words had been directed at her. Not anyone else, just her. For so long she had mistaken him as a weak annoying boy, if only she had known he would grow up to be such a strong, loving, caring and amazing man maybe she would have never made him make that stupid promise. Maybe he would still be alive. Because of that goddamn promise he had to die! His life meant more to her than that. Every fiber of her being wished she could go back and tell her thirteen year old self what she knew today. She knew it was selfish of her but she wanted him here, better place or not, she needed him by her side. To her it felt as if a giant part of her soul had been torn and left along with him.

"I'm sorry." Sasuke whispered again. Sakura lifted her head from her hands to stare blankly at him. "It's my fault he had to die. If I never left that night."

"Don't say that. If I had tried harder you wouldn't have left and Naruto would still…"

He shook his head slightly. "No. No one could have changed my mind. I shouldn't have followed that path…if I could go back and change it Sakura I would." She covered her mouth to mute her cry. "You two deserved each other. You desereved a future together." She turned her head away unable to look at Sasuke as he spoke. "You should have grown old with him, gotten married, had children and died peacefully in your sleep. Not—"

"Just stop." She moaned in sadness. He was right. They should have had that future together, maybe not in the way he said but he shouldn't have died like this. She turned to Sasuke. "It's not your fault—" She froze dead.

Staring at her were Sasuke's dead eyes. Once again she found herself screaming in agony. Alone. Alone is what she was. Kakashi, Kiba, Hinata, Tsunade, Lee, TenTen, Neji, Ino, Shikamaru, Shino, Chouji, Sasuke and Naruto were all dead. She and her alone was the sole survivor of rookie nine. Why just her? Why must she stand alone?

A hand rested on her shoulder she looked behind her to see Gaara, his eyes blanketed with sadness. He helped her stand and walked her to a medical tent where there were beds for the remain of the leaf, she found the nearest one and curled herself into a ball under the thin sheets.

She layed there.

Alone.

As my friend would say; I have a tendency to be EVVILLLL and kill off characters. But since this is a bleach crossover we all know where this is going to go. Anyway R&R!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach however if I did there would be a lot less characters.
