Hi everyone, I bet you all thought I was dead? Well sorry to disappoint but i'm back! Bwahahahaha! Anyway this is my first naruto fic so don't hurt me (i'm invincible anyway, so there :)

PRO: "Before..."

Everything was turning to ash around her, the smoke was thick and slowly suffocating her.

This was the one way she hadn't wanted to die, engulfed by flames, she thought numbly.

Parts of the building were collapsing in around her making the space she occupied even smaller.

Her leg twitched under the weight of the fallen roof. If she had the strength she might have been able to free herself, but seeing as she had used almost all of her chakra earlier, she knew it was impossible.

She watched with morbid fascination as the last bit of paint on the wall bubbled up

and disappeared into the flames. She choked on the air, or lack-there-of, the hot ash burning her insides.

Her left hand sluggishly rubbed her neck, the right one curled around her waist.

The flames were getting closer, the heat feeling more

intense as the seconds ticked by. She thought back to

what had started all of this and smiled. "And I still love you...even after this..."

She let her eyes slip shut and just listened to the sounds

of the fire, her body too tired to do anything else but listen.

Her smile weakened and dissipated as her breathing started to slow

to almost nothing. "Just... I just wish..." Her jaw went slack again as another

portion of the roof caved in, the ever growing fire burning brighter before settling.

End PRO
