The rain poured down heavier as the pink hair medical ninja looked at her bloody and dead teammate that she couldn't save. Tears ran down her cheeks as she remembered how he always was able to make the pain end. She traced the whisker marks on his cheeks as he lay there lifelessly. It was their last attempt to retrieve Uchiha Saskue. It was funny no matter how many times he tried to retrieve him and how much he hated Saskue; Naruto had to keep his promise to her. Now, he kept his promise, but at what cost. She grabbed his body and cried. She didn't care that they got that bastard back. She lost something more important, a friend. Someone who would do anything for her, through the years he was the one that made the pain go away. Even after Hinata and him got married. Naruto never stopped caring, he kept his promise and died. The pain was back. The pain that felt like someone took a million kunai into her heart and tore it to pieces. But Naruto couldn't make the pain stop this time. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. It was her selfishness that made him do this. She always thought Naruto was trying to ruin her relationship with Saskue. But now she sees it, he was the best friend that everyone wanted. But it was too late, it was too late to thank him for all the things that he did for her. She just sat there and cried, letting the rain wash away the blood.
It wasn't long till Kiba, Hinata, Neji, and Tsunade were close. "The smell of blood is getting stronger… Naruto you better be okay and you better be protecting Sakura." Kiba thought. When they got there it wasn't the sight they expected. Hinata in tears by now was crying Tsunade's shoulder. They were all horrified by the bloody sight. "I couldn't save him…" Sakura said.
Hinata went to her dead husband and held him tightly, as Sakura found herself entering darkness. Where she would be lost for a long time.
"Neji, you grab Saskue and take him back to Konoha for medical attention. Kiba, you help Sakura back home. I'll attend to Hinata and…Naruto."
"Hai Tsunade-sama."
Neji went and grabbed the traitor and left. Kiba, however, walked slowly over to his friend unsure of how she was going to re act and how he was going to handle it. Kiba hasn't always been good with dealing with women in pain.
…FLASKBACK…
"Why would he break up with me…why?"
"Well, Ino… Shikamaru probably enjoyed watching clouds more than dating you. You are one of the most annoying people I have ever met."
After that comment Kiba got the shit beat out of him and wasn't on good terms with Ino for a long time.
… END OF FLASHBACK…
"Umm… Uhh… Sakura-Chan…. I'm going take you home okay?"
"Kiba-kun I couldn't save him…he died and it is my fault."
"Sakura-Chan it isn't your fault. These things happen. Ninjas die on missions all the time."
"YOU DON'T GET IT KIBA! IT IS MY FAULT!"
"No, Sakura... it isn't your fault and I don't think Naruto would want to hear you talking like this."
"Naruto died because I was too selfish to care about anyone other than Saskue. Naruto was the best friend that everyone wants. I HAD THAT BEST FRIEND. And how did I thank him for always being there for me… I let him die. I don't even deserve to live." Sakura took a kunai and was about to embed it into her heart when Kiba grabbed the kunai from her.
"SAKURA!!! I KNOW NARUTO AND I AM GOING TO MISS HIM TOO. BUT THIS ISNT THE WAY TO MAKE THE PAIN STOP. KILLING YOURSELF ISNT THE ANSWER... come on lets get you home."
"Hai."
