I stood outside staring at the sky. It was cloudy today, I knew it would rain. The wind blew south carrying my depressive words with it.
Naruto was supposed to come home today. It had never once rained on the day when he came back, I know something's wrong.
I sat down on the concrete steps, just outside our apartment.
What if he didn't come? I wouldn't know what to do with my life, if he died.
But then I thought of what he'd told me," Sakura if I were to ever, yah know, die. I want you to live on, to be brave. I don't want you to cry over my death; your life doesn't stop just because mine ended."
Small droplets of water fell onto me, cooling my burning face. More and more drops fell until it started pouring.
I ran my hand through my pink locks. The wet strands slipping though my fingers; drenched.
With my clothes thoroughly wet I thought of going inside. I could after all catch a cold. But then I thought better of it and stood in the road, hoping that I'd get hit. Hopefully a car would just come along and Bam! Dead.
I looked up to the weeping blue abyss.
"You're crying for him too aren't you?!" I cried.
I hugged myself as the rain embraced my face.
Looking to the sky I opened my mouth. I let my tongue savor the bitter-sweet taste of the cool water. It ran down the back of my throat and back, cooling the discomfort that remained there.
I closed my eyes and let it run through my body. It ran in my veins, like a chilled chakra. Gradually I drew a blank as to what was happening. Everything around me seemed to disappear, leaving me in a darkness that surrounded my body.
I could feel his body, he was the rain. Caressing my body in every breath-takingly beautiful way. The warmth of his breath hit my neck and lingered, startled, I opened my eyes, only to be stared at by ocean blue.
"Beautiful as ever," the blonde exhaled.
I hugged him, and I cried. As I did he just held me there, in the midst of a rain storm.
