Her eyes, they were a purer blue than the sky that she'd always be gazing at. Her hair, it illuminated brighter than the sun. Her cheeks, three whisker birth marks adorned each one. But I would always notice how those round cheeks seemed to have a permanent tint of pink on them.
She was beautiful. I couldn't be away from her for more than a couple of hours. She was my best friend. She'd play with me for hours and stayed with me whenever I was sick, which was often. But my father didn't like that. She was the daughter of one of our servant. She wasn't good enough for me, the son of the Feudal Lord of the Fire Country.
But I didn't care what her status was. I just wanted to hear her laugh, see her smile. That's all I needed. She was all I needed; nothing else. Her endless energy kept me alive. She was my light in the dark. And whenever it seemed like I'd never see the world again, she'd be there; watching over me with that smile.
"Suke-chan", that was her nickname for me, "when Mommy makes you better, we'll play outside, right?"
Her mother took care of me when I was sick, which entitled both of them to live in my family's compound. Strangely enough, I enjoyed being sick. I loved hearing her sweet voice comfort me as I lay in bed; gazing at her. I just couldn't believe there could be anything as lovely as her.
"Yeah..." I said as I took her hand in mine. "We'll play outside when I get better." I love you...
I've loved her as long as I could remember. My earliest memories are all with her. My heart always beats a little faster when she says my name. She was the most wonderful person I had ever met; she had no equal. Her name was Uzumaki Naruto. And I wished to be with her forever.
But that dream died when Naruto's mother left the living world. My beautiful love's eyes filled with a sadness I had never seen before. It hurt me to see her in so much pain. I tried to be there for her, but I wasn't as good at comforting people as she was. I couldn't even be there for the person I loved; I felt useless.
"Suke-chan, I know you're trying to make me feel better, but don't...I just need to be alone right now..."
Those were the very last words I ever from her lips. Because after that my father sent her away. Since Naruto didn't have any tie to my family any longer she wasn't aloud to live in the Uchiha Compound. I never saw her again. My heart died the day she left my world. I don't even know what became of her; father won't tell me where he sent her.
"Why won't you tell me where Naruto is?"
"It doesn't matter, she's gone", is what he'd always reply. "Besides, she was just a mere peasant."
Naruto wasn't just a mere peasant. She was the one who made me smile. She taught me to laugh and love. She made the world look beautiful. Naruto is everything.
I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to her. But I failed. And as punishment for my mistake, I now have to live without her; forever.
