Extremely short onset I found that happened to be my creative writing assignment.
If I had known, I would've found a way to keep my best friend here. I would've done something sooner. I should've tried a little harder. If only I had fought a little harder, would he still be here? If I had called out to him, to reach his heart, would he still be here?
Now I have a chance. I have a chance to find him and bring him back. For years, I have done everything I could for this one moment.
If only... I had known that he was falling apart. If only I knew, I would've tried to save him sooner. He should've been here, excepting my challenges with a smirk, going on missions with me and our team. He should be here, as my best friend, my brother-in-all-but-blood. He should be here, calling me a dobe, or an idiot.
He needs to be here.
Then again, he isn't here.
So much... for knowing too late.
Hope you liked it? Tell me what you thought of this... short drabble. I know it definitely doesn't sound like Naruto, but hey it's something.
I wonder if I should write a Naruto story some day... Eh, oh well.
