Flowers on My Grave

Chapter 1: Roses and Chocolate

I look around the family store that I have worked in for over ten years. I am only eighteen and I already have a job; taking over the families flower shop. In the corner is my personal garden of only two flowers, two beautiful black roses.

I look around and see all sorts of flowers but none of them appeal to me. I see a ton of colors and shapes. Shiny paper covers the already trimmed flowers at the front in the window. The only one in this lovely place is me and I sit at the front eating chocolate.

I slouch forward reading a book on how to keep roses healthy and in bloom for the longest time. Ding! I look up to see who could possibly want to go into this small shop so early in the morning. It was a little boy with black hair that is sort of spiky in the back.

"Hello there may I help you?" I ask the young boy who is looking towards the black roses.

"How much are those?" He points to them and I feel my chocolate want to crawl back up.

I swallow and look at him, "I am sorry but I-…" He turns his black eyes on me and they scream desperation. "Who is it for?"

The boy looks at me and I can see him melt a little. "It's for my big brother, Itachi Uchiha. I heard that flowers make people smile." He blushed a little and turned to face another direction.

I smiled and giggled which deepened his blush. "Well…" I looked over at them and saw the one most bloomed. I walked over and grabbed it. Placing it carefully in purple wrap and trimming off the thorns and snipped the bottom. "I have to know the name of the young man I am giving it to." I looked at him from the corner of my eye.

His face light up and he got a big grin before saying, "Sasuke Uchiha!"

"Well Sasuke take good care of it, black roses are my favorite." I winked and handed it to him. As he reached to pull money out of his pocket I stopped him, "I don't need that."

"But..." He began in a happy but confused voice.

"I said…" I turned away to walk back to my seat at the front. Throwing a smile at him from over my shoulder I said, "That black roses are my favorite the only price worth paying is just a simple smile. Black roses are really priceless to me."

Ding! Sasuke ran off waving behind him at me in excitement! After that day about every morning after he would come in and just sit there until it was close to school starting. He would ask to help water flowers and bring me chocolate. One day he asked me something personal, "Why aren't you married? I mean Yuri your really beautiful."

I looked over at the mirror to see a pale girl with thick black hair. She was in all black, her jeans tight; her shirt was tight also with a skull on it. She had on no make up but some eyeliner that was black to. Her arms had purple sleeves that had a hold at the bottom for her thumb. Her eyes were big and black and her lips pink. Her thick eyelashes made here eyes look darker. She was thin and had only a B cup bra size and no ass in her opinion.

I looked back on Sasuke and saw the clock behind him. Letting out a gasp I freaked, "Oh, my Sasuke you'll be late for school!"

He looked at me as if I was crazy, "It's the weekend Yuri I have no school today." He searched my face as I tried to remember the day, "My brother is going to train me later today when he gets back. I told mom to tell him I am here if he gets home early."

I smiled at him and then it faded, "Well Sasuke no man wants a sickly wife."

"Sickly you look fine and have a ton of energy to run this store all alone."

Sasuke knew that my mother and father both died because he has asked about them once but I didn't have the heart to tell him of what. "Well Sasuke some illnesses are only sick deep and some are more hidden." I looked at him and saw he didn't get it. I sighed and tried again, "Well my father died as a ninja leaving my mom to take over the flower shop all alone, but one day she got ill. I was only eight so I had to have her sit in the corner and order me around all day. I didn't get to go to school like a normal kid because the family came first. I didn't mind though because I saw my mom hurting and I didn't have many friends." I stopped not knowing what else to say.

"Yeah?" Sasuke wanted me to go on.

"Well when she was younger she was diagnosed with an illness that eats you from the inside out very slowly and painfully. She was young when she had me and died at only thirty years of age. Only about a year after she passed I was only ten then and got used to taking care of everything here, it was found I had the same thing. The illness that my mother had was hereditary and was passed down to her only child and it will be passed down to more if I have children." I got up and walked over to the roses, "Sasuke you remember how I said these where my favorite flowers?"

He looked at me sadly and choked out a weak, "Yes."

I looked over at him and walked over. I held his face up to look into mine, "they are because when my mom died I could have grown anything in here but my moms only black rose. I died with in three days after her. So to help me smile I look over at that black rose that I grew. Sometimes I can still see her over there fusing over the old one saying it was sick or sad." I look over at the flower and let go of Sasuke's face and walk over to it.

Ding! Neither I nor Sasuke said anything and then I felt small hands go around me. I froze and felt him hug my tighter and his little body shaking with tears. I heard the choked out sobs and the whimpers. I turned and lifted his head with one hand and hugged him back with another, "Why so sad?"

He wiped away the tears only to have them replaced with fresh ones, "Because when I become a ninja you'll be alone."

I felt myself choke on a sob as I felt the truth he spoke sink in. But I smiled and teased him, "What when you leave to be a ninja you saying you'll forget about me?"

Shaking his head he hugged his head in my stomach and hugged my waist harder. Holding him I looked up to see who walked in and who I was ignoring. He was a taller version of Sasuke. He had longer hair that was in a thin small pony tail at the back. He had it looked like scar under his eyes or that could just be lines but I think it is scars. I pull on Sasuke till he looks up to see the man that is staring at us.

Unlike Sasuke this man had sort of unhappy eyes. He seemed troubled beyond belief. Sasuke gave me one last squeeze before running towards the stranger, "Itachi!" He went to hug the man but ended up getting poked in the forehead. I went to reach for him but he seemed fine so I pulled back. Itachi looked up at me and Sasuke noticed, "This is her! The girl Yuri! You remember she's the one who gave me the black roses and the pretty one who isn't married yet."

I felt myself blush so I let my long bangs fall in half my face. Mostly the feather to the side but now all I want to do is hide, "Well you two can come back anytime you like, my doors always open. Oh and Sasuke thank you again and don't worry I am fine. Itachi and you should go now and train."

Ding! I peek through my bangs to see I am once again alone. I flip my bangs back to there regular position. My nose felt stuffy all of a sudden and I felt hat tears fall from my eyes. I went to the front and flipped the open sign to closed and went back to cry. Why does even a kid notice that I will be alone? Sasuke I am so sorry but I lied… I won't be all right. I just hope you don't come back to see that. I turn to see the mirror out side the door.

Now I don't see that girl who is so strong looking. I see a depressed girl who is broken. Her hair hangs in her face and goes to her mid back in layers. She is one the floor hugging her knees. She has black lines running sown her face and her eyes are red instead of the regular black.

I get up and walk towards my reflection and put my hand up to the glass. I see those eyes and everything is hidden in them but bought out of the black darkness I hid them behind. I fell the tears fall and the sobs choke out. I lean over and scream. I stand up and punch the mirror's reflection smashing the glass and sending shards flying everywhere around me. I fall to the ground holding my stomach as pain fells my whole body.

"You're an idiot Yuri you should have just left life here alone and you wouldn't have hurt your self." I lay down in the glass no longer having the strength to keep my body upright.
