Sumimasen
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Everything was over in a matter of seconds. Everything she had worked so hard over the years to build up, shattered. Life was like that, it was a commonly accepted fact, that human nature will always be the ruin of human gain.
Her eyes were wide as she stared at the scene unfolding before her. The two brothers stood, glaring at each other.
One simple drunken night had ruined what she had strived to build up for years. Water leaked from the emerald stones embedded in her eyes.
Only one word could ever describe her feelings at that point, a word that was so...commonplace, yet meant so much in four simple syllables.
Forgive me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
And most of all; I'm sorry.
Life was never perfect, and we are all sorry.
