Prologue
Sitting on the tree stumps of the nostalgic team seven's training grounds, the four grown ninja look down upon the burial ground of their now perished beloved teammate. One of the ninja set down a beautifully blossomed and bright cherry blossom. Another set down an antique paint brush, the bristles still intact and as silky as when first made. The third set down an aged silver bell that still had its valiant luster even after the many years. The fourth, set down four different things.
The first, was a headband from the hidden leaf village with a crooked gash that ran down the head piece. The second, was a finely made band with a small diamond held down to the band as sapphires were used to decorate the area around the diamond. Third was a string that was used as a necklace to hold two almost identical rings that were bound together no matter what forced was added. The last was a necklace with a beautiful jewel that seemed to swim with endless amounts of chakra.
She was the first to break out in tears. The silver haired male was the one to help comfort her. The other two males stood there, feeling the never ending melancholy that made the wind blow by coldly.
As if rehearsed countless amounts of times, both males whispered in a monotone and barely audible, 'Sorry.' The two men already used to being emotionless on the exterior, couldn't stop the constant flooding of emotions and memories that seemed to be drowning them on the inside.
The man with short raven hair whispered to the pink haired woman, "I should have been able to save him... Gomen, Sakura..."
The long haired raven sighed mournfully as he took out his scroll to finish the last sentence to his broken haiku. At that moment, the rain started to pour down upon the village to mourn the loss of a certain ninja. This ninja was by far the number one most unpredictable and knuckle-headed of all other nin.
Another sad, depressed sigh and he looked in to the forest to try and choke back the sobbing that couldn't stop. Moving his soft and uncharacteristic eyes up to get a view of the sky, two tears emerged from his eyes as he quietly whispered, "We were going to get married..."
Clouds spreading thin, the rain weakened to a light spray, allowing the sun to emerge to smile warmly and happily to the broken ninja. After a moment, the long haired raven did something he didn't normally do. This time, he sighed. Not the sad sigh that he had always used, but it was a content and almost happy sigh.
There was a rustling in the bushes as they all just stayed planted where they were, enjoying the symphony of bittersweet harmonies ringing through the air. There was then the sound of someone coming into the area. Entering the open area of the training ground was a blond haired boy with blue eyes and sun kissed skin.
I know this is confusing, but this is actually part of the middle/end of this fiction. I wanted to use this part because it is very meaningful to when it is about to finish. I won't be updating this one for a long time, so please just review on this one to see how I should do this little fic.
