Let Me Fall
by SS6445
Falling... Me caigo(I fall)
Sakura POV
I heard that they came back. 1 moth after I left, and 13 from the day I was declared KIA. They came home the day after my memorial service. Heartbreaking. No? To arrive home after a mission that was so long, to learn your teammate has died. And you were to late….well its not like they would have known they were to late for me to leave rather they were to late even for her to be buried. Too late. But that is just what I heard. Now it has been half a year since I have last saw Konoha. I've settled quite nicely near the border of mist and leaf. I don't have many friends; the people in the village respect me for medical skills but otherwise are wary of me. I hear them whisper behind my back on how they can see my traumatic past in my eyes, making them shudder. I don't blame them, I'm sure I would have done the same thing years ago.
The one companion I do have is Megumi, a retired kunoichi from Konoha, who helped guard the border years ago. She knows of my situation, and is actually the only one who knows. I trust her with my life. And she keeps me updated on the happenings of the ninja world, that's how I know what day they came back, when I was declared "dead" and all the other things. But my life here near the border is comfortable and I can say that I'm slowly relearning how to smile.
Megumi constantly tells me I should go back. Go back. I wish I could, but I don't think I can right now. I do want to see them, I really do. But I can't, just not now, later. I am truly too weak, if I were to see them now I would try to reach out to them again, and that would just lead to another broken heart. They are all too reckless, and that is what will be their downfall. They will die, and unlike me they cannot seemingly reappear from the dead.
Fall of an angel...
Naruto POV
She is gone, they brought back her body. Half a year later and I'm still in shock. I thought she would wait for us to return home, but I suppose death doesn't wait for anyone. Especially in ninja communities he must be running on a pretty tight schedule. In the end I reacted terribly to the news. I mean really who would believe it. She died from a rouge ninja attack. Given they were at a jounin level, but still with her inhuman strength I thought she would stand a better chance against him. But from the reports it did say that she was outnumbered, but at the very least she killed one of those bastards. Shino, Kakashi-sensei, Yamato, Sai, and Sasuke…they all were expressionless. But I suppose that was to be expected, everyone else reacted in some way, even Neji. It was barely visible but I saw his eyes slightly widen. He reacted dammit! Why didn't that bastard Sasuke? I know he was looking forward to seeing Sakura! Whenever I brought her up, his aura would slightly soften, hell if I can tell that means he REALLY likes her. I finally thought that I would fulfill my promise to her. Then again a promise is a promise, whether it be to a 12 year old genin or a corpse.
Sakura…..did you know I try to visit the memorial at least once a week. To just talk, keep you updated on things. But I suppose its pretty stupid doing this, but I really did help me through. Sasuke-teme, he really does miss you too. Sometimes I see him staring at the sakura trees, even though its winter…but I guess in this situation its appropriate. Nothing lasts forever.
You can see the fall...
Sasuke POV
Haruno Sakura. Dead. Who knew that I would ever have feelings for her. Her, the happy one of team 7, the one we always protected. The weak one….no she was not the weak one she was able to say what I never got the chance to say. Nor will I ever get the chance to say. All I can do is say sorry.
You're felling high...
Sakura POV
I have never forgotten my home. Konoha. Its been 4 years since…Megumi recently visited family there. She said that she saw Naruto, Sasuke, Sai and the rest of them. Naruto is now the hokage and his face carved on the mountain. Like all things in life, they move on. Naruto is married to Hinata, Shikamaru is with Ino, Neji and TenTen. And all the others of the rookie 12 have found someone. With the exception of Sasuke and I. I know my reasoning, I am still in love with him. Simple as that. As much as I don't want to admit it. Its true. I love him. But he wasn't or I suppose isn't known as the human icecube for nothing, although I heard he has gotten a new nicknames from none other than Naruto, my personal favorite Sasuke-chan! I must say Naruto is very lucky that the hokage is the one who gives out the missions for Sasuke's ANBU branch. But life for them is supposedly normal, and happy. One day soon I will visit them, because they most likely have forgotten me, rather I'm in the back of their minds, hidden underneath more current and urgent matters.
I am happy for them, they have moved on, but so have I, I can smile once again. But I do have to visit Konoha before it is to late….
Yo estoy dentro de las sombras (I am in the shadows)
It was dead in the night when it happened. An attack from the mist. I was drained from chakra, because I healed one of the elders. Of course my skills were lacking, for I haven't used them in years. The attack consisted of a few most likely jounin level ninjas. They were all killed by the Konoha shinobi, but first I was struck by a poisoned senbon. The poison is unique. It attacks your cells and merges with your DNA and slowly will kill you. I maybe one of the strongest medics alive, but there is no way I can heal something like this, maybe if I still lived in Konoha, they might have a way. But my life has been filled with peace these last few years. And I am happy; its true running away all those years ago was cowardly. Do I regret it? No. Was it stupid of me doing that? Definitely. Still the most important thing is that I found peace. I've matured, I can smile once again, and I can think of them with no ill feelings. I believe if I stayed in Konoha, they would not have suffered from seeing me dead, but rather of seeing a completely different me that would have tainted their views of the innocent little Sakura.
To once again satisfy my selfish needs, I will return.
When you kiss the earth
Angel of your mind I'm blowing
Kakashi POV
Team 7…each member has memories that would be best if forgotten, but from those painful memories comes strength. Naruto from being ignored decided to be the Hokage, and has accomplished that goal, and a minority of the village dislikes him for having a demon sealed within him. Sasuke, the Uchiha massacre effectively killing the once innocent boy. Me and my past mistakes, trying to fix them and instill teamwork in team 7. It partially worked, but all fell apart to come back together again…..almost. But there is one piece missing. The heart of the team, Sakura. She was ignored by the one she loved, and her parents killed when we were away retrieving him. She was abandoned, but grew to die. One more person I couldn't protect. And years later I still mourn all your deaths: Obito, Rin, Asuma, Sakura….
How I wish we can all see you one more time. To see your beautiful smile that would light up the room, to see what your boys have accomplished.
Dentro de tus sueños más profundos (Deep within your dreams)
Yo te oigo, me llamas (I hear you, you call me)
Sakura POV
I once said that I would never look back, but here I am looking at the gates I didn't think I would see again. Megumi is with me, she insisted that she came with me just incase I had one of my attacks. But I think she just wanted to come to try to convince me once more to stay, and how did she put it 'spend my last days in peace and at home, and at the very least indirectly by all those I love' or loved. Her arguments increase in appeal everyday, but still I feel that if I did that, my fleeing would all be in vain. Maybe it was in vain to begin with, because here I am looking in the village that caused me so much pain, caused me to grow, caused me to fall back into reality.
Me ves cayendo (You see me falling)
Already I can see the changes, some of the buildings have been repainted, renovated or they don't look even remotely the same. Familiar faces walk by, no recognition in their eyes, it almost feels like a dream of my past. Or I'm a ghost, they pass without seeing me.
Me caigo (I fall)
Falling
The first place I want to go is to the hero's memorial. That will be the reminder of why I cannot run out to these people. They don't know me. To them I am just an unfamiliar face to be seen and forgotten in the same second. Megumi looks worriedly at me, but I tell her that she can go to her friends' house and I have some personal business to attend to. To prove why I don't fit in anymore.
Vivo dentro de tu espíritu (Alive within your spirit)
Fall of an angel
Latiendo dentro de tu corazón (Beating of your heart)
But walking in that direction I can see Naruto's face on the mountain, I can see the changes. He looks older more mature. I know that he is happy with Hinata despite his slightly frowning appearance, I can remember him pulling pranks and defiling those faces all those years ago. Before I know it, it's here with my name carved in its granite surface. My reminder that this is not my life anymore, remember they have moved on. But if I know this why is my heart pounding?
You can see the fall ... angel...
Even if I did say I was the Haruno Sakura who died years ago, they would give me strange looks, because Sakura didn't have black hair, nor was she as tall as I am now. Most importantly she does not possess the cold jade eyes I do.
Clouds start to gather, as do my thoughts
As the first drop falls…..
In your deepest dreams
Sufriendo, Fluyendo dentro de ti (Suffering, Flowing within you)
Fall of an angel
No….no…this can't. This feeling regret? I feel as if I've been struck by lightning. I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes, what have I done? Why did I give up my life? Why did I run away? Now tears fall freely down my face. I killed myself….I've did something that I swore I would never do. I let myself deliberately be weak. I fell in the darkness of my own sorrow ignoring those around me.
Besando la tierra (Kissing the earth)
Cayéndote, levantándote(Fall, Rise) (AN sorry guys my Spanish level is only at IB Spanish SL aka Spanish III and I don't recognize the form but basically its some form of fall and rise if anybody knows the tense please tell me thanks!)
Even now they probably remember me; I haven't forgotten about them, I tried to cut the bonds with them. No luck they still hold strong. 4 long years later I find the err of my ways. So what if I was able to smile again, I would have learned once again. That is if I didn't foolishly try to ignore those who were worried about me, how blind was I? How did I fall so far into my self pity?
Fluyendo dentro de ti (Flowing within you)
Através de ti (Through you)
Cuando te levantas, cuando estás triste (When you rise, when you are sad)
Cuando lloras con la lluvia (You cry with the rain)
I guess it is true I really did fall into the oblivion of my own lie. I choke back a sob. They did come back. They are still safe. They are happy now. Even without me in their lives. Life does move on. Not waiting for anyone. Who cares if you can find the mistakes in your life. You can't do anything about it. These types of mistakes…how can you learn anything about it? You can't. I fell into my lie. My lie has led me to my current despair. What else can I do but fall into another lie, a lie to create an illusion of peace. So I can die peacefully into the new lie I've unwillingly fallen into. But the tears won't stop, and neither will the rain stop from falling down.
