A/N: So I had said I was going to write another angst little fic for Kane (Suffocated With Cheese.) Hope you enjoy this one .


He had failed her, broken a promise he had sworn to keep. He was a terrible person. Without meaning to he had lied to her, the worst lie anyone could possibly tell.

"Gomen Sakura-chan." His words had no right to be said; his forgiveness to be asked, but he said them anyways, he asked for it nonetheless. He wanted to be forgiven, despite it all he wanted to be.

"Iie, iie, daijoubu." Her words were laced with the sadness she felt, he knew she had been holding back her tears; he could almost see them pouring down her face, yes so clearly. It only broke his heart the more. He wished she just had, instead of keeping them in for his sake. He had asked her to forgive him, but she merely smiled at him. "There's nothing to forgive, you tried." That smile still haunted him as he watched her day by day her words ringing still in his ears.

"I tried, I tried." He'd repeat to himself. Was that supposed to be good enough? Was he supposed to be all right with that? Every time he looked at her, he knew the answer. "Not hard enough, not nearly hard enough."

She had forgiven him, after much begging she obliged to allow him here those words he craved, even though she told him it was unnecessary. "There's nothing to forgive Naruto." She was lying and he knew it. She was thinking of him and his feelings. It made him feel all the more worse.

She had forgiven him, so she had said but he knew it was a lie. If he couldn't forgive himself how then could she him? His feelings for her meant nothing if he couldn't bring her, her happiness, the simplest thing of them all. He would be undeserving.

She said she had forgiven her, be he knew she was lying.
