Meteor Shower

It was a beautiful day in Konoha.

Everyone lounged around, too lazy to really do anything else.

Shikamaru and Choji were both looking at the clouds moving overhead, each one taking on a different shape.

Sasuke was sitting in a tree, trying to avoid Sakura's persistent flirting.

Naruto was running around Konoha with Konohamaru and the other two.

Kakashi was at the memorial, paying his respects to his lost comrades.

In a flash, the sky turned blood red, surprising everyone.

The clouds changed from a fluffy white, to a bloodclot black.

Then, Shikamaru saw it, giant meteorites charging down on them.

It wasn't long before everyone else saw this as well.

The meteorites were all as big as houses, and there seemed to be many of them.

'Could this be something from Orochimaru?' Tsunade questioned.

'No, this is too much, even for him.'

The first one struck the school, causing an explosion that shoot the earth.

The other's followed, smashing into anything they could collide with.

Sasuke powered up his Chidori and charged at an oncoming meteor.

"SASUKE NO!"Kakashi yelled, but was too late.

When Sasuke struck it, it exploded in his face, sending him crashing back into the ground, and knocked him out.

Kakashi quickly snatched him up as another one came hurtling at the spot his body lay seconds before.

While in the air, Kakashi evaded each one that came.

Because of their size, however, he was left with minor burns.

He landed and quickly proceeded to find shelter.

Sakura was running around looking for Naruto and Sasuke, and didn't see the meteor behind her.

She was tackled out of the way by Rock Lee, who proceeded to take her in between to semi-standing houses to find some shelter.

Naruto guided the younger kids with Iruka when he saw Hinata sprawled on the ground, a small burn on her cheek said she was close to an explosion.

He quickly snatched her up, but a meteor crashed too close and he was sent, clutching her close to him, into a safe corner. (Can anyone say 'irony?')

The shower stopped as quickly as it came, but the sky was still red.

Everyone who looked up, suddenly wished they hadn't.

A meteor came, one that was actually as big as the sky itself.

Everyone stared in wide-eyed horror; was this the end?

They all closed their eyes and braced for impact, some shedding tears of sorrow.

Naruto and Hinata (blushing furiously) opened their eyes to see the meteor crash into the village.

There was a flash of bright light, and they knew no more.

In the backs of everyone's mind, they repeated the same words: "I'm dead."
