The power of love

Engulfed in murkiness…

Encircled in silence…

Which was ghastlier?

He was in a world of his own. The wind's mellisonant whisper snapped him back to his senses. His pale hand quivered while fluttering to the tombstone in front. "She… really is dead…" Sasuke muttered beneath his breath while warm tears descended onto the luscious blades of jade coloured grass. It resembled her emerald eyes which he loved so much. It was a beautiful day. Flower petals dancing together in sync with the wind under the azure cloud-filled sky. But to him, all of those were living hell. Why was he prone to these things?

Seeing his loved ones die…

The thought of that made Sasuke clench his fists until the knuckles turn pure white. His tears began to seem like a waterfall…

Falling…and falling…

He gritted his teeth and whispered 'why, why, why' relentlessly, his heart falling further and further down into the abyss as the minutes go by…

Sasuke gazed at the name bitterly engraved on the tombstone.

'Haruno Sakura'

He tenderly felt the moniker. It was icy… His tears welled up even more. He just sat there, stared at the name with sorrow-filled eyes and mourned over the loss.

Being overly exhausted, his hands plummeted to the ground. His onyx eyes gradually closed, enveloping him in total darkness.

Without realizing it, a familiar hand reached out to him, caressing his raven locks while touching his head.

It was so comfortable…

He opened his eyes wearily and rotated this head. The hand began to touch his forehead and bangs.

Is this true?

Am I hallucinating?

Is Sakura really in front of me?

His eyes widened in disbelief. Haruno Sakura. In front. How was that possible?

Sasuke shook his head. He didn't care anymore. Being by her side was more than enough. Sakura's face grew closer and closer to his. When it was inches from his, she leaned in for a last, final kiss…

He felt so blessed…

His life was finally completed… With his grave next to Sakura's… They are finally together…
