Oh how stupid she is. Foolish is what he'd say. Laying here broken and bloodied, in her last moments, all she can think of is what he would say. Naïve. How could she think that she could get past Hidan and Kakazu by herself? She barely even survived Sasori, and that was with Chiyo-baa-sama's help.
"Itachi." She let out a gurgled laugh. "Oh how right you were."
She could hear fighting now, but it was slowly fading away, or was she fading away? She didn't know. All she knew was this was the end, her chakra almost gone, she couldn't save herself now, not even with the Genesis of Rebirth that Tsunade-shishou had taught her when she became a jounin. She hoped that it wasn't Naruto that was fighting them, or anyone from the village.
Naruto. A tear fell from her eyes as she thought how devastated Naruto would be. Be Strong..Naruto.
Looking back now, the only regret she had now, was not being able to see Itachi one last time. Almost as if her thoughts had summoned him, she saw the hazy face of itachi, as emotionless as ever, even as his one lover was on her death bed.
She used the last of her strength to lift her hand up to his face, and give him a weak smile, "Don't Cry." She mentally laughed at Itachi crying for her. Ha. As if. You really must be out of it, Sakura. Her inner pegged.
Sakura looked up past Itachi to the sun, her blurry eyesight could barely make it out, but she saw the ball of light beaming straight on her, she closed her eyes, her smile still on her face.
Goodbye.
He watched as the life slowly drained out of her, it didn't quite feel real to him, the only one who could love him so, the life leaving her. "Don't Cry." She said- His eyes softened slightly, even on her death bed she still worries for him. Perhaps, later, he will cry.
He had thought that he didn't know how to cry, a useless thing to do. But he was human, and humans cried, that is what she had taught him. How to feel. Be human. In a rare display of emotion he leaned down to her face, and gave her forehead a sweet, chaste kiss. Kissing her lips wouldn't feel right, not when she was dead, but her forehead was one of the things he liked about her, and would kiss it whenever he could. He sighed softly, then regained his usual stoic self. He would mourn later.
He picked her dead body up, bridal style, and made the slow trek to Kohona. He would leave her body at the gates, where they could find her. Then he would go about his business as usual.
At the gates, he knew he couldn't stay long, for the danger of being caught was too great. He embraced her dead form tightly once more, trying to catch a whiff of her sent of jasmine, but all he could catch, was the cold smell of death and blood.
He sighed softly, laying her down to the side of the entrance. Turning his back on the gates, he made the signs for the transportation jutsu back to headquarters. Maybe he could sneak in to pay his respects after she was buried.
A/N: This is my first Fan-fic. I got the idea from a youtube video, a few actually. I don't quite know what I'm going to do with this story, I get ideas every now and then, so I'm probably going to make small little one-shots with interaction. I welcome advice, reviews..etc. Thanks for reading!
