Naruto:

I loved her. I had always loved her. I think….. I think that perhaps I was even born loving her. In this world where no one would call out my

name….in this world where I was so alone…..she held out her hand to me.

We were the same. At least, that's how she explained it. Two lonely kids…two broken hearts…and yet somehow…when we were together….that

was okay. She was older than me. Smarter….stronger….faster….more jaded. When we were young…I would pretend that she was my mother. My

mother…my real mother,…thinking about her made my heart ache. This nee-san who would hold me when I had a nightmare…this nee-san who

said she loved me…it was okay even if it was just pretend. Before her…before Sakura nee-san…I had never known affection.

Thank you. Thank you nee-san. You worked harder than anybody. And it was all for me.

I'm sick…very sick….aren't I? The doctors said I won't get better. But…please don't cry for me. Please don't cry over me nee-san. You see…I'm not

afraid to die…at least not anymore. And that's cause I met you. You're so strong, so strong that it worries me. You lock away all your tears…all your

pain…because you're afraid. You're afraid that you'll hurt the people you love. That after they see your flaws…they'll leave you. That's why I'm

happy. I'm really happy that you let me enter your world. That you gave me the key to inside you. You brought me to a place that was so

warm….so sweet…

Good bye… Goodbye Sakura nee-san…I love you...

In the wing of a hospital room…a line went dead…and a girl collapsed to the floor. She was sobbing….soundlessly. Perhaps the only evidence of sorrow were the crystalline droplets that continued to stream down her face…unending…
