"Do you miss me?"
"No."
Why can't you be nicer…?
I miss you so much that it hurts.
"Do you sometimes wish that you never left?"
"Never."
Don't we matter at all to you?
Telling the truth would only make things worse.
"Why can't you reconsider??"
"It's not that I can't. It's just that there is nothing to reconsider."
You're lying…
I'm telling the truth…

"You haven't changed at all, Sasuke."
The male raised a perfect brow.
He noticed with slight surprise that the ever-present suffix had been removed.
"Neither have you, Sakura."
The female chuckled bitterly.
She noticed with slight frustration that he seemed unshaken by the absence of the '-kun'.
"Well…shall we begin?"
"Yes. Let's."
She can't still be in love with me…
He should be able to realize the fact that I love him…
The sound of clashing metal filled the valley.
He cut her.
She slashed him.
Blood oozed from his body.
Blood dripped from hers.
It's painful to fight him…more painful than anything I've ever felt…
She must hate me now; cutting me does not wound her on the inside at all.
The seconds trickled by…
Minutes turned into hours.
She was at her limit.
He was at his.
The final cut was made.
Why did it have to end like this…?
It could not have ended in any other way.

And so they both took their last breath.
And fell at the same time.
With regret clouding every inch of their minds.
It was never about 'him' or 'her'.
It had always been about 'them'.
And 'their' story.
As I look upon the scene, my mind fills with sadness.
I wish I could have told them both of what really transpired between them.
About how he really did miss her.
And of how she still loved him.

To a fellow shinobi, they would have looked like two honorable people who had completed their mission at the cost of their lives.
To an ordinary onlooker however, they were two ordinary people, with ordinary feelings.
But there would always be things about them that were unheard of.
Her extraordinary zest for life, despite the fact that she lost her's early,
His extraordinary ability to restrain his desires,
And both of their bizarre attractions
To beautiful disasters.
