Blood Rain
I have never seen anything like it in my life. It fell from the sky in large droplets and I wonder if maybe it is the gods themselves that are crying. I wonder if the gods cry blood rain. My mind goes to what has been going on causing me to glance over to my right to see my enemy, my friend lying there a few feet away from me. I force myself out of the mud though my wounds protest. I lean over him and I wonder for a moment where the blood rain starts and his own blood ends. He's panting heavily and I'm unsure if it's from the large wound in his stomach or not. Onyx gems meet my eyes and I knew he is masking the pain he is in. He glances over my own wounds that he inflicted. I know from the look in his eyes that he knows I will not survive my wounds.
"Baka dobe." He mutters and I give him a small sad smile at the nickname. I feel my head spin from the loss of blood and lie down beside him. He turns his head to look at me.
"I'm not the baka, teme. If you had just come home like you should have, we wouldn't be in this position now would we?" I whisper. His eyes gave him away; sadness, longing and some unnamed emotion I couldn't identify lurked in those dark depths. He raised his hand gently touching my cheek. I simple caress that had he done it years before would have haunted me for the rest of my life. He turns away coughing violently and I see blood splatter across his lips. He looks at me again and gives me a smile.
"Where is home, Naruto?" He asks me softly, his eyes going slightly unfocused but remaining solely on me. I smile brushing a strand of raven hair from his face forcing myself to not groan in pain while doing so.
"Konoha is our home, Sasuke. It always has been." I reply. He shakes his head slightly still staring at me. Gone all these years and he doesn't realize where his home is even when I tried time and again to tell him. He takes my hand entwining our fingers and I gave him a puzzled look.
"Home has always been wherever you are, dobe." He whispers coughing again. I watch as Sasuke goes in and out of focus on me. I cling to his image desperately as he gives a peaceful smile. A tear rolls down his cheek as his eyes stare blankly back at me.
"I love you too, teme." I mutter clinging ever more desperately to his image and my memories of him. I feel tears roll down my cheeks ever so slowly as I bring his hand to my mouth kissing it gently. I glance towards the heavens once more to see the blood rain falling all around us. Red like the blood we both spilt, wet like our tears and it all held the sorrow of us never seeing tomorrow together. I turn staring at Sasuke's face once more, as I feel my consciousness start to waver and start to pull me towards the darkness. I smile sadly; it took until the blood rain fell for us to realize what we felt for each other. I wonder briefly if the gods would allow me to be with Sasuke after this and I feel a splash of rain upon my cheek. My last thought as everything went black was see you on the other side, my friend.
The End
