Warnings: character death, spoiler if you don't know Tsunade and who Naru's parents are, aaand I don't think I have more.
A/N: this was inspired by the 'Glaring dream – Secret dream air mix' track from the Gravitation OST, along with my own thought while I listened to it earlier this morning; "hm, this song would be quite nice to die to" (I really do have weird thoughts like this all the time!)
Blissful end
He's smiling, but the smile isn't bitter or sarcastic. No, rather it's blissful.
Around him there is chaos. A familiar voice is screaming in a horrifyingly, heartbreaking voice. Iruka-sensei?
Another voice is screaming his name. He recognises the voice, though usually it's not his name the voice is screaming, usually it screams "Sasuke-kun!". He wonders why it's suddenly screaming his name.
Another voice is yelling something like "-foolish gaki, you can't die! You're my last hope! Stay here!"
He can hear more yelling and screaming, but it's all starting to fade away into the sweet sound of silence.
He wonders why he can see that beautiful, bright light now. Isn't there only supposed to be light on the way to heaven? But he's not going to heaven, he's going to hell, right? That's what the old villagers, used to tell him as a kid. It is said that older people know more than anyone, so they must have been right.
While he's looking into the beautiful light, a person appears. No, wait; there are two people. A man and a woman. The man looks a lot like himself he notices, and a lot like the 4th hokage's stone face. The woman looks very beautiful, with long red locks falling around her pretty face. He wonders what this wonderful feeling that surrounds him, is. He doesn't really care because he feels like he belongs here, he feels like he is finally where he is meant to be.
He's smiling, but the smile isn't bitter or sarcastic. No, rather it's blissful.
And now, everything has disappeared and he's being consumed by light as the two people embrace him.
Around him there is no more chaos. There's now a bone-chilling silence, only broken by quiet sobs and the sound of tears falling to the ground. Never has there ever been such a beautiful and true smile on the boy's face. Everyone around him now realize, that all the smiles they've ever seen on his face were fake and only hid the breaking of the heart inside.
The air is filled with regret and sorrow as the broken heart beat's one last time and then it's over.
