Short, pink locks blow in the wind.

Green eyes reflecting sadness.

A heart left broken by words that were left unsaid.

Her love, long lost by time and distance

Still lingers by a thin thread of hope

That one day everything would return

To normal; as it should be.

A Sakura blossom in the midst of life and death.

The lightness of her soul heals the wounds

That were left behind;

Like the tears that she had shed.

Born in the midst of darkness and raised in loneliness

Striving for the acceptance of those who rejected him.

Perseverance sets him apart;

Redeeming him in the eyes of many.

Hunted by evil that seeks out the demon

Sealed away within him.

That instead of hindering him

Only makes him stronger.

He seeks redemption for the one he calls a friend.

A life filled with tragedy.

A dark past that haunts him.

With eyes that bleed red

He seeks to right a wrong.

His need for retribution

Drives him to do the things he's done.

His heart is filled with rage and

Pushes him towards the darkness.

Away from the ones who

Care about him and wish to

Save him from the monster that rages inside.

Though their lives are entangled

By darkness and light

And has steered them in different directions.

Their destiny remains the same.

Three Shinobi united by a single bond;

A bond of love and of friendship.
