Waiting….

Is that all I've been doing?

I don't want this anymore…

I don't want to watch them leave me anymore…

I don't want to be waiting on them to realize I'm part of this team…

That was the last thing I thought as I cried over both my best friends dead bodies. I couldn't handle it anymore. What is the point in living if no one appreciates you? When you know you are no one special? Unlike me they have a purpose, and deserve to live. They need to live.

I then remembered the jutsu that Lady Chiyo did to bring back Gaara, the life giving technique. I smiled And mutter, "You'll thank me someday." With that said, I performed the jutsu.

I gave my life for them that day. I felt as if I did something useful for once. My name is Sakura Haruno, medic ninja, disciple of lady Tsunade, a member of rookie 9, and member of team 7. I was told I was weak, useless, ugly, had no purpose, and so much more. In truth I was just a late bloomer.

I did have a purpose. It was to make sure that no matter what I would be the one to make sure they lived, and that's just what I was doing.

I closed my eyes and took my last breath I would ever take.

Goodbye…

Naruto… Sasuke… Kakashi… Tsunade… Ino… Tenten… Gaara… Shizune… Temari.. Shikamaru… Sai… Hinata... everyone…

~Naruto's P.O.V~

My eyes fluttered open, and looked around. I saw Sasuke was sitting up, and with a face just as shocked as mine. We both couldn't believe we were alive.

Then we saw Kakashi on his hands and knees, crying, with his back turned towards us. He was cradling someone's body closely to his own. We were confused at first, but when we saw a strand if pink hair; we could only hope this was a nightmare that we would soon wake up from.

It wasn't.

When we saw Kakashi look up at us with a look that was beyond grief, we knew she was really gone, but what really made Sasuke and me break down, was the beautiful smile that graced her lips.

~Sasuke's P.O.V~

It was a sunny day when we buried her. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, not to mention people fromdifferent villages came as well. All morning her death, or silently wishing she's in a better place.

Everyone said their speeches, and are now laying flowers were her picture sat. A picture that had that same graceful smile she died with.

Why did I always lose the people I care about? The people I never wanted to protect, but couldn't…

The person I loved…

I was the Last person after Naruto. Then I turned and left to the Uchiha Compound it wasn't till I closed the door and broke down.

~Kakashi's P.O.V~

I watched as Sasuke left. I knew he was hurting over the loss of Sakura. I also Knew that he would break down when he got home. He was always the type to never show weakness among others.

I saw Naruto was openly showing his sorrow, and looked down at the flower that Sasuke laid down next to Sakura's picture; a red rose.

Dark: hey guys I'm still here. I'm currently on summer vacation and hoping to update. However, I will only have time for one short, or possibly at least three shots. You see I'm moving, and it is going to take up most of my time. Wish me luck you guys!

*Sakura walks in with Toshiro and Sasuke*

SAkura: Dark, you're alive! And here I was hoping to have your shirtless poster of Takeru from Kamigami no Asobi.

*Dark and Sakura high-fives each other while Sasuke and Toshiro mumble something about us staring as other anime guys and drooling*
