1st fic so please don't be too harsh (I like constructive criticism)
Just for your information I don't own Naruto
Happens just after Sasuke leaves
Look at this photograph
Naruto sat on his bed and looked at the picture of team 7.
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Then he looked at the one with Sasuke with an irritated expression, the one where Sakura was punching him, the one with Kakashi looking amused.
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
He wondered why. Why had Sasuke left?
He got up and pulling off the normal orange outfit grabbed the black one that he wore to the 3rd's funeral.
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
He left leaping out the window. He wandered aimlessly through Konoha, ignoring the stares of the people, until he found himself in front of
And this is where I went to school
The Academy.
Most of the time had better things to do
He remembered running away from Iruka along with Shikamaru, Chouji, and Kiba.
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
He remembered stealing the scroll and learning from it the shadow duplication jutsu.
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
He left without a word and walked towards the training grounds where team 7 had learned the true value of teamwork.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
He remembered all the missions they had done together.
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
He felt a weight on his chest and tears building behind his eyes.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
He flashed back to when Sasuke had almost been killed by Haku.
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
He was out of the city now. He was alone in the forest.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
He thought back to the times when Sasuke had come to his rescue.
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
He remembered trying to get Kakashi to take off his mask.
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
He saw Sakura practicing punches. He walked over and saw that tears were flowing down her cheeks.
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
She saw him stopped and collapsed, tears spilling from her eyes, into his arms. He knew that she was thinking the same thing.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
He held her as she cried. They were bonded by loss, the loss of their teammate.
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
He felt a new pair of encircle both of them.
Sakura looked up and through her tears saw Kakashi.
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
He didn't say anything. He simply held the two of them as they let their loss out.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Sakura felt the weight on her chest begin to lift.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
Naruto look to the sky. It was gray and it began to drizzle then rain.
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Sakura's tears mingled with the rain and she smiled.
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
It was a sad smile but a smile nonetheless.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
It was a smile that said that she understood that it was time to let Sasuke go. It was time to let go.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...
Kakashi went to stand by the monument to those who died on missions.
Sakura just stood and let the rain begin to heal her broken heart. Naruto turned and said, "I will bring him back."
Then he walked away slowly and then faster until he was running, the only thing in his mind was the promise to bring Sasuke back.
