Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…or more importantly in this case, Deidara.
A/N: I wrote this special request for one of my good friends. She has also helped me in other stories I have posted here. Everyone, say thank you to Dana-chan! This story does have a character death. But don't worry, it's not extremely emo-ish…I hope. This fic is Deidara/Not so original character.
*I will be adding the first chapter later on tonight!
Look to Tomorrow
Prologue
She sat on the fresh and new dirt, not caring that the soil dirtied her new clothes. She sat there, dull blue eyes fixed on the slab of stone in front of her, trying to comprehend the words etched into the rock. She sat there. Unblinking. Uncaring. Numb. She sat there, eyes dry and red from rubbing and crying, and suppressing tears. But now she couldn't cry. There was no reason to cry. There was no reason to mourn over the past. She held a single rose in her hand, the thorns of the stem biting into her flesh. She sat there, literally feeling her heart shatter into a million pieces as she said goodbye to the one person she needed. The one person she cared about. The one person she loved. The one person who loved her back. She sat there, alone in the cemetery, a rose and a new grave keeping her company. She held the rose up to her lips, and kissed the petals, whispering to them a single phrase before placing the flower on the tombstone, and leaving.
"Look to tomorrow."
She never looked back at the tombstone. She never went back to the cemetery. She went on with her life, forever looking to tomorrow.
