SF4E: It's corny, I know it. It's corny, I know it!- Does happy dance! Well, this is the last of my three Naruto oneshot series. Please read and review! Please?


Just How It Was

Naruto stood before Sasuke's head-stone. Underneath two tall tree's who cast down their pink blossoms to the grave below. Like petal tears. A sweet smell hangs in the air as the golden sun lights the evening sky from the west. Golden light stretching from the horizon and changing first to orange then to red.

Naruto fall's to his knee's and weeps.

Nothing followed their perfect plan. When Sasuke challenged Itatchi his brother had destroyed him. Slaughtered him, like he had the rest of the Uchiha clan. He had shattered Sasukes spirit and left Naruto wih a shattered heart.

This was not how it was supposed to be...

They were supposed to die together; in the others arms.

But now Sasuke was gone, and Naruto wished more than ever he could turn back time. Turn back to the moment Itachis kunai had torn through Sasuke. Somehow stopped it happening. Somehw saved him from death.

But thats how it was, not now, now Naruto was standing in a clearing in the forest. A kunai held above his heart.

He knew it. Knew Sasuke was waiting for him.

Naruto dug the kunai deep into his chest, he slowly fell to the ground an eternal smile gracing his lips as he stepped into the light and saw who was there.

Sasuke.

As Naruto took his last breath he felt Sasuke holding him.

"I died in your arms now you die in mine..."

The words were little more than a whisper from the breeze. But Naruto's heart told him who had spoken them.

He was buried next to Sasuke, under the two Sakura Blossom tree's.

But that's just how it was.

Not now.

Seasons pass, elements flourish and people move on. But the two most powerful shinobi of Konoha, will be remembered. Not for their power, but for their love. In the memories of all of the villiages.

And as Sasuke and Naruto stand side by side in the light they smile.

If not a perfect world; then a perfect death.
