Gone

The house had always seemed so open now, now that there was someone missing. Always open. Always cold. Something was drawing me to the room, telling me to go there.

I looked around the room. Nothing had changed. I didn't want to move anything around. I wanted it to be the same so I could remember all the great times.

Whatever this feeling was it was drawing me closer to the closet.

I opened the closet door slowly. I didn't know why I was putting myself through this pain again. He was gone and he was never coming back. But every now and then I would do this, just to think about him, to remember.

I opened the bag that had the uniform in it. I ran my fingers down the middle of it. The buttons still had their shine. I took it off the hanger and backed up to the bed where I sat down, still looking at the uniform. I could feel the sting in my eyes. He was never going to come back.

I would never see his lovely face again. I would never hear his beautiful laugh again. He would never hold me in his arms. I put my hand on my stomach. He was never going to see his child grow up.

The tears flowed freely down my cheeks.


ah ok im sure youre wondering who this is about ....well its a quick short of Kurenai after Asuma died. yes that was a very sad episode :'(

but this acutally came from a dream and i figured i would mold it to fit Kurenai and so i did! hope you enjoy! : )
