Title: One Thousand Paper Cranes
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Yahiko x Konan x Nagato
Summary: Konan right before her battle with Tobi.
Konan has lost both her friends and she knows it.
Yahiko is on the other side, dead and has been for years.
Nagato was already too far gone, too caught up in his idea of "peace" and no more conflict, no more War, too caught up that he couldn't really see that this world of chakra, of bijuu, of demons and monsters and fire-breathing humans can never be perfect.
And Madara...Madara was the trigger that set off all those events.
Maybe, maybe...
Maybe Jiraiya should have never taken those three war-haggered orphans in, to teach them half-shinobi skills and leave them alone in a land of misery, pain, and sorrow.
Maybe Orochimaru, the snake should have killed them.
Maybe Kirigakure would have never had a Civil War that tore the peninsula apart, that killed the Yondaime and gave their twisted organisation the Sanbi.
Maybe...
There are too many possibilities, and never a certain answer.
Nagato is dead.
Yahiko is dead.
All that's left is her, and one way or the other...Madara's going down today.
END.
