I knew this day would come.
The day you and I would fight to the end.
A fight between...
Lovers?
Is that what we could have been, Naruto?
Had I not left those many years ago, could we have been lovers? Would we be living a happy life together?
I suppose we'll never know now, for the end is near for both of us.
I watch as your beautiful blue eyes fade out into a dull gray, and even though we are dying together, side by side, it still hurts to see the life leave your body.
I use the last of my strength to lift my tired arm and tangle my two fingers into your limp, bloody ones. Just as we did as children.
You're still so warm...
I close my eyes, and for the first time in years, I let tears fall as I wait for death to consume me.
Thank you, Naruto, and I'll be with you soon...
I love you.
