Just a Dream
It was two weeks after the day I turned eighteen, I stood in front of the mirror in my Mother's room, wearing a wedding dress that touched the floor perfectly. I took in a shaky breath as I placed one of the letters from my soon-to-be Husband in a box. I smiled softly to myself as I walked out with six pence in my shoes. I adjusted the little headband my Mother leant me, and the blue rose at my waist. Something borrowed... something blue. I couldn't believe I was getting married that day... and to him. To Asuma. Oh dear Kami on earth... I was so lucky.
When we arrived at the church, the doors opened and I put my veil down. I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears that may soon spill over my red eyes. The ninja-military band started to play, and I could hear future Nin cooing slightly as I walked past. Asuma stood before me, and the flowers fell from my hand.
I think remembering that moment, the image shifts from that, to a funeral where Asuma Sarutobi's name is engraved on a perfect stone. I was handed a flag with the leaf symbol on it, and I hugged it tightly.
Stupid Akatsuki... they had to take away my Asuma.
My hand rested on my stomach, where his child was. I felt a tear slip down my cheek from my red eyes.
The military had gotten small bombs from the Sand Village to use. Gaara had happily given them to us as a farewell to my husband. I had to go for some reason and all I did did cry... knowing that there was nothing I could do to bring Asuma back.
I walked into the church that morning, a small bouquet of dead roses and baby's breath at my side. Off in the distance, I heard Shikamaru's crying, Temari trying to comfort him... Naruto whispering to Sai: "I can't believe he's not coming home... why couldn't I have been there to save him?"
A tear slipped own my cheek, as I walked toward the open coffin. I dropped the flowers the second I got a look at his face. Cold, frozen like that. His eyes shut, blood dusting his face, and cold like ice.
Hatake Kakashi walked up and handed me a folded flag, and I held it close to my face, breathing in the scent.
Asuma, why'd you leave me... why'd you have to go? I was truly counting on forever since that moment... now... I'll never know if that could have happened. I can't breath! Oh god... I can't breath. I feel like I'm being pulled farther and farther away from him. Naruto's words repeat in my head over and over and over as if they won't ever stop.
The Hokage walked up to the coffin, and rested her hand on my shoulder. She started with a prayer: "Let us bow our heads and pray. Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt the Akatsuki have resting upon us." Everyone repeated the prayer, their heads dangling, tears slipping from their eyes.
A sad started to be played by the small band at the ninja academy, and they dropped the small bombs , and I could feel a small kunai get shoved into my back, my eyes growing wide, and I fell to the ground. Crying and screaming that it couldn't be true. None of it. My Asuma was still out there! He was waiting outside the door!
I knew he wasn't... but I wish he was. I screamed out his name and let the tears trickle down.
This is just a dream... right Asuma? A nightmare, and I'll wake up any moment now...
