Saph: walks onto the set, crying

Saph: walks onto the set, crying.

Asuma: Awww, what's the matter?

Saph: …

Asuma: Aw, come on, tell Asuma what's wrong.

Saph: …muffled 'no'

Asuma: ??

Saph: …The thing that's wrong is…

Asuma: full attention

Saph: …you're…dead…

Asuma: O.O!! WTF!?

Saph: continues crying.

Asuma: so, you found out…

Saph: …

Asuma: Well, if you're not gonna do it, I guess I will.

Saph: …

Asuma: We, well, at least Saph here, does not own Naruto. Rights to the popular anime and manga belong to the wonderful Kishimoto-san.

Saph: …(muffled sound)

Asuma: What?

Saph: … … … DAMN YOU HIDAN (san (Saph is polite, even when cursing others!)!!

Shikamaru: walks onto set.

Shikamaru: Oi! What's up?

Asuma: Ah! Shikamaru.

Saph: …

Shikamaru: Ah! What's wrong?

Saph: …

Shikamaru: Oi, Asuma! He's crying!! I know you're vbad with kids but, what the hell did you do?!

Saph: …he died…

Shikamaru: Oh? Is that all?

Saph: Nods

Shikamaru: Keh, don't waste tears on this idiot. Oi! Say something!

Saph: …

Shikamaru: sigh fine, I'll say it. Just let me look at the script.

Shikamaru: Reads through fic

Shikamaru: Oh. Reading Saph's words 'The things in this fic were written after watching episodes 78-79 of Shippuden Naruto (Why the heck is it named after that fool?) and most of it is dreamed up by my twisted mind. This is not copied from the anime, as I have not seen the aftermath episodes. It is not accurate because I have not read the chapters to this either. I know that Ino and Chouji are supposed to be there too and Asuma's words are different, but I had to do this. Damn it!! It's Hughes (see FMA) all over again!! Anyway, please enjoy.' Feh, another fic where I hafta act all sad…

Saph: …

Asuma: sigh if you're going to be like that, I guess we should get on with the fic.

Saph: …


The rain fell, so cold and wet. It stung at the group of people gathered around a body. Sarutobi Asuma lies on the cold dirt, struggling to breath.

If I hadn't been such an idiot!! If I had come up with a better strategy…Asuma…Asuma would… Shikamaru thinks as he watches his former teacher die.

"…Sh-Shikamaru…" A weak call from the man.

"Asuma!" At the sound Shikamaru directs his full attention to his idol.

"…You did…well…" Asuma gasps, every sound burning like fire.

"Asuma! Asuma!! Don't die damn it!!" The boy screams through tears.

"Heh. Crying? … That's not like you." Asuma allows himself a smile.

"To hell with what's 'like me' or not!!" Given the situation the boy cannot bring himself to get mad.

"…Shikamaru…take care of them for me…" Sarutobi Asuma's last words as he breaths his last.

The village, the people, my friends…and…Kurenai… His last thoughts are of his woman.

"KUSO!! ASUMA!!" A cry left unanswered as the boy sobs.


Saph: …

Shikamaru: Feh, you cry to easily to be a boy!

Saph: …

Shikamaru: Oi! Where's Asuma?

Asuma: Didn't you read? I'm dead.

Shikamaru: Oi! Quit playing around!

Asuma: haha

Saph: …

Asuma: Ah? Well, if you're not gonna do it. Everyone, please review!! If you want me to live in future fics then please review!!

Shikamaru: If ya want Saph to quit crying then review!

Saph: …
