Color Splashed
It was always about color for Naruto… to become a team though and though his team would have to learn his love for color.
It was a spontaneous and yet looking back it made perfect since, what surprised him was that Teme and Loud Mouth had gone along with the suggestion. Glancing into the mirror one more time Naruto gingerly touched the now bright pink and black strands. The strands themselves were positioned on his left temple, almost laughing as Sasuke narrowed his eyes even more at the bright blonde wisps of hair now hiding in his dark locks.
Sakura on the other hand was fondling the black piece's like they were part of some holy grail. Her blonde braid laid over her left shoulder forgotten in the pleasure of somewhat being marked as "Sasuke-kun's." Each pet of the dark braid was followed by a insane giggle. But it was alittle scary on with each stroke her eyes became fixated on her prize.
Sighing Naruto reached up and gave a quick twist to the newly added ear rings that also graced his left ear, each stud matched the color of hair hiding them but by far it was the mark that bared each member of team 7's left wrist did Naruto begin to understand that he was now tied to the other two. The tattoo was what combined their souls, the symbol's of their clan's painted to make one combined clan now graced their skin for all to see. It was a prefect flow of their past, present, and their future.

It would years later as Sasuke stood at the front gate of the village hidden in the leafs, crimson eyes flowing with pain, sorrow, and anger did the future come to a crashing end.
The gate had only two defenders, a blonde who had let his pink and black wisp's fall wild within the wind and a pink who had cut her braid's short and smiled as they bounced at her temple. They stood, facing their combined soul and noticed for the first time that other no longer had any traces of pink or blonde on his person.
Tear's fell as the connection broke and the destruction painted the colors all one color, red, red as the eyes whom they had loved so very much. Red stained the gate and the wind blew the remains into dust.
At dusk only one stood, the other two laid wounded and barely alive but together, if nothing else they were together. At that Sakura smiled as Naruto held Sasuke's left wrist and laughed, there in faded old ink laid a bond that would no be broken.
--
It would five years later as yet another bond died did Naruto understand bonds never really died they just grew, became more, that more or less they strengthen. It was the night before the sixth was to take the oath, did Naruto laugh himself to tears.
The first to pledge the oath was a weakened black haired red eyed Chuunin with strands of pink and blonde hair at his left temple. Matching studs mirroring the colors at the ear lobe.
The old faded entwined ink mare his left wrist as he placed his left hand over his heart.
