I Will Remember You, a naruto fanfic

A/N: Here is another story! Very sad to write. Listen to song: Angle By Sarah McLachlan. And other sad songs such as Slipped Away, By Avril, or look up on YouTube: titanic - instrumental rmx, and look at one called: Sad story.

Warning, this is not one of those happy ending stories really, so please don't be mad cause of that.

Legand:

The itatic parts are the past, and the ones not are the present.

I Will Remember You

The war raged on, shinobi everywhere. Akatsuki had many strong shiobi on their side. Konoha was not doing so well, many Shinobi seriously injured or killed. But no one was giving up.

The woman and children were already down and into safety. Flashes of blood everywhere, dead and almost dead bodies sprawled out against the blood stained concrete. A sight no one should see.

The dim moon light shone down on the shinobi who stood under a sakura tree. The candles scattered around the tree cast a soft glow on the sakura tree. The arrangement of flowers made the moment even more beautiful.

Screams pierced the pure black sky. More bloodshed has been made. Akatsuki and others ran through the village, killing anyone who got in the way. All of this bloodshed, for one reason. One person.

'Neji!' a young woman's scream rang through the clearing. Heads turned to were the scream came from. There was a shadowy figure bent over an unmoving form. Crying.

A person started towards them, before a kunai sped in front of their vision, missing then narrowly, bringing them back into the real problem. Fighting for the others lives.

Tears streaming down the faces of others. One girl stood alone, eyes cold as stone. Her emerald eyes were unable to shed the crystal like water.

A dark figure walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist. She leaned her head back against his neck, her eyes still not showing signs of tears. He slipped his head onto hers as tears were slowly falling from his onyx eyes.

A ninja was holding a body in his arms. It looked mysteriously dead. But the man was not crying over the body, but merely protecting it.

"Byakugan!" A woman in her late teens early twenties exclaimed. She looked around to see many dead bodies and few alive. She was holding her breath, looking for certain people while she could. Naruto stood beside her. Holding her shoulder. They were the only two alive in the moon lit clearing, everyone else was dead.

"I see Shikamaru, protecting Ino, who is using her jutsu. I can see Tenten hovering over body…" Her eyes widened, but soon closed. "Neji… she is hovering over Neji. He is barely alive though. Close to death. And I cannot see neither Sasuke nor Sakura." She told her boyfriend.

Naruto nodded. "We must help them before it's too late." The couple ran off towards the clearing Neji and Tenten were waiting for aid.

A pregnant woman stood silently, her hand intertwined with her husband's. The stood there. Tears flowing freely from their eyes. Hinata touched her stomach. The child was to be born soon. Naruto looked at her, his eyes filled with concern.

Tenten's eyes were filled with tears, flowing freely. She could not stop, and no one, not even the members of Akatsuki interfered. She was crouched over the almost dead Neji, trying to heal him with what little chakra she had, and the little she knew about healing.

She had just got engaged with Neji this day. She had been over whelmed with joy. Until the war started all those hours ago. It seemed like days had gone by and Neji was only sinking farther into death.

In another clearing not too far away from Tenten and Neji fought Sasuke and Sakura. They stood side by side. Fighting Zetzu of Akatsuki. And they were very close to winning but nothing was certain.

'Shit.' Sasuke thought. 'My Katana (sword, I can't remember name and all) is way over there… and I have Zetzu in a perfect position to kill.'

Sakura noticed that Sasuke did not have his Kanata. She saw it covered in blood across the clearing. She looked over at Sasuke, she saw him look over his shoulder trying to find something. His Kanata. Sakura ran over to it and picked it up, she flipped over someone who got in her way and threw the sword in Sasuke's direction.

'Please catch this Sasuke.' "Sasuke!" She yelled. He turned at caught the sword with ease. And quickly cut off Zetzu's head without warning.

Sasuke collapsed to the ground and so did Sakura. He did it. But soon she would need to get up again to fight some more.

Tenten stood there, arms limp at her sides. Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks. Masculine arms slid around her neck and she was braced in a tight squeeze of comfort.

Tenten looked behind her and there stood her sparring partner and soon to be husband. The wedding only two days away, yet tears flowing of not happiness. In some eyes, the tears were of hatred and others pure depression.

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

Neji stood behind Tenten, as she turned around he could see the pain in her eyes. He lightly kissed the top of her head. He could tell she had never gotten over all of death that happened a year ago today. No one did. It was still in their hearts and always would be even after death. The pain never washed away, not yet.

Sobs of people all around, tears were flowing from almost every one's eyes, no matter who they were. Sasuke stood there, arms around Sakura's waist, her head leaning against his neck. Naruto stood beside his wife and soon to be child. Family and friends of the dead had gathered there today to remember those who gave their lives to save their loved ones.

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

Ino looked over at Shikamaru, her eyes showed true love and pain. Shikamaru's eyes showed the same thing, they knew their chance of death was major and surviving this would be hard, but together, they would be happy. Together forever.

It had been raining for some time now. The rain was beating down hard on the two who secretly loved each other. Pein was killing many people and no one could seem to stop him. Shikamaru and Ino fighting for those they loved, for each other.

Shikamaru noticed Pein's plan. He ran over to Ino as a poison gas was release. One that would kill you in one minute or less. By the look in her eyes she knew what was going to happen. No words were exchanged. People were collapsing dead all around them.

Shikamaru hugged into, they both fell to the ground in each other's arms. The life slowing being sucked out of them both. Shikamaru did something he thought he would never do, he kissed Ino, looking in her eyes, knowing they were going to die together.

Ino kissed Shikamaru with the last strength she had in her. She rested her forehead on his; she told him her last words. "I love you." And he returned those words as Pein walked over to them, a mask on his face protecting him from the harmful poison around them.

He kneeled down beside them. "Too bad you are going to die... huh?"

The last strength Shikamaru had, he ripped off Pein's mask. Pein had inhaled the gas. He was to die too. Shikamaru and Ino held each other tight, until darkness consumed them both.

The light seeped through the clearing, dead bodies lay everywhere alone and without their loved ones. All except for two people, who lay in each other's arms.

Sasuke walked up with a flower in his hand beside Sakura, whose tears were finally streaming down her cheeks. Neji and Tenten followed, also holding a flower in their hand, then came Naruto and Hinata.

Many flowers were lain onto the graves.

Here lies those brave who fought and died in the Great War:

Yamanaka Ino

Shikamaru Nara

Lady Tsunade

"The war has been won, but many lives lost, those who loved each other and were friends of many." Naruto declared to the many people blow. We will honour them always and they will always be in our hearts." The new Hokage told everyone. "And I will protect you forever as Tsunade did and always will!"
