Re-up. My first angst. Was removed twice. Ah... as always, NaruSasuNaru. Whichever you prefer.
Thanks Sharingan85 for beta-ing this :)

Enjoy :)
You stand there, watching the slumped, still on fire village.
Oh how the mighty had fallen. You destroyed them all. You finally had your revenge. But something was missing...
Oh, right. It was that loud, happy voice that always called for you. That sincere grin he always gave to you. His angry face, disappointed and hurt voice. Yes, you killed him.
He was so foolish. Chased you around for what? His death, that's what. He was weak. Promised a thing that he would never accomplish. Then again, it was him.
So what now, Naruto? You're weak. You can't defeat me.
You laughed. Like a maniac.
Why? Can't keep up now? Come on, Naruto. You're just a stupid, ninja wannabe. You...
Then you collapse, crying. Like a baby.
Why... Why don't you chase me anymore? Why don't you...
Open your eyes... Please...
Oh please just one last time. Please smile at me again.
Oh god... Fool... Idiot... Dobe... My dobe...
"I love you. I love you, Sasuke. Please, come back to the village. And... live happily."
His last words keep repeating in your mind. His last smile keep displaying in your head. His gentle touch just stay remained on your hand.
I came back. But where are you?
Why don't you keep your promise?
Why did you leave me?
I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you...
You keep repeating those words. Words that you will never be able to tell him again. Your cry had touched the sky, but it will never reach him.
You cry... And cry...
"Sasuke. Sasuke!"
"Ne, when I become Hokage, will you marry me? I'll be strong by then and I'll protect you." the blonde boy said cheerfully.
Onyx eyes widened. Then a blush appeared on pale face.
"Okay."
"Then it's a promise." The blonde smile.
Oh... I want to meet you.. Naruto. Wait for me... I'm coming to you.
Chidori pierced your chest. The same spot that he had. And you smile. Dying and knowing what your life was meant to be. The great Uchiha... had died. Everything... had ended.
The sky was blue. Birds are singing. The weather was nice. But at the Memory Stone in Konoha, all of the Konoha twelve, minus two, had gathered to say goodbye to two of their friends.
Tsunade cried while Jiraiya hugging her in a comfort manner. Her brother had died... By the hand of his most precious one. And the Uchiha had died, along with his illusions.
Sakura was kneeling by their graves. She gently described their funeral in tears. Then she broke out crying. Lee cried, sitting next to the pink hair kunoichi with Ino on her best friend's other side. Shikamaru, Chouji, Tenten, Neji, and Kiba bowed their head in sadness. And Hinata... she had tried her best not to cry, but failed miserably. Moegi, Konohamaru, and Udon cried like they had never in their life. They kept calling out their niichan's name, but no one answer them.
Kakashi... tears strolled down his uncovered cheeks. He knew it was wrong, but he just wanted to say to Naruto that he loved the boy. So much. But it's too late. He wanted to say sorry for all the mistakes he made, for the hardships he made him endure, and say all the things he never did. But it's too late. He had lost his precious students... He had lost the one he loved with all his heart.
A sad day for Konoha. The sun had gone and the moon had stained with blood.
Until the next life... We will be together...
In the end, after all the tears were shed, and laid to rest were the dead, a single tear fell from the sky. That tear could only drip onto the flower, making it cry.
If I could be reborn, I'd be by your side
You're the irreplaceable flower
So... R&R please. Another one will be up shortly. I planned to do a two or three shots. Yep, each chapter will about one character's POV. Anyway, it'll be short. Like this one...
