Yuhi Kurenai looked at Sarutobi Asuma grave. A bunch of beautiful flowers laid there and Kurenai guessed that it was Ino who had brought them there. Among the flowers laid a rose, she bend down and replaced it with the one she brought with her. She slowly stood up again and looked at the rose; it was a red one like the roses Asuma used to give her. A tear rolled softly down her cheek and she removed it with her hand "happy birthday Asuma" she whispered with a sad smile on her lips and placed a hand on her big stomach "it's soon time for the baby" she continued "I always think of how the baby is going to be like, is it going to be a little genius, or a little tough one with beautiful dark eyes? Would it have made you quit smoking by finding one of your lighters? Is it going to talk and look like you?" a new tear find its way down her cheek "I miss you so bad Asuma, words can't even express what you mean to me. I don't forget you because your presence still lingers here. You have been the one for me; you touched my heart and soul. I love you" Kurenai stroke the tear s away and took one last look at the grave and then she turned to leave
"Maybe one day we're going to meet face to face, In a place without time and space" she whispered with a small smile on her lips and started to walk home.
