Till My Final Last Breath Chapter 2, a naruto fanfic

暮れて行くオレンジに空は燃えるから
切なさが私の胸に広がった
夏が終わる どうかお願い
抱き締めて熱が上がるぐらいに

眩しく笑う太陽それがあなたなんです
夕焼け滲んでる坂道に
ゆらりゆらゆらと揺れる陽炎
あなただけが映る
キラリキラリ夏模様「好きよ」

Because the darkening orange sky burns

I knew that before nightfall is upon us, he must make haste and return to his wife's side.

pain spread inside my chest

The way he attempted in a rush to put his robe back on only inflicted more devastation in my heart. It was another day spent in the comfort of each other's arms, but then it was another night where I must endure its tormenting loneliness. Now, I knew why the moon only shined such a lonesome light.

Summer will end. Please, somehow

Our affair will soon have to conclude with his duties only increasing. Everyone was already starting to become suspicious and I didn't make our selfish desires to hinder him from greater achievements. Somehow…I wished time could remain stagnant for just a little while longer.

Embrace me so that my fever rises

I want to feel his warmth against my pitiful self. I wished to be so immersed with him being that I lose all awareness of reality.

The brightly smiling sun is you

He held great importance in my life from its beginning and will always till its near end. He brought joy and a reason for me to rise and witness another day passerby. I would have been so lost without him to guide me.

On the hill path blurred by the sunset

If he was not to be a part of my life…

the shimmering heat haze

If his affection and sincerity was to eventually fade away…

only reflects you

Then I see no motive nor feel the intention to life any longer as he is my entirety.

The shining look of summer 'I love you'

He smiled at me before he vanished from my sight, promising his likely return.

Each time summer comes

With every passing union there seems to be more regret and remorse on my sins.

the secrets I can't tell that person increase

I suffer in agonizing silence as I carry about with my deceitful ways.

These feelings are hotter

This passion is too tempting but nevertheless destructive of everything it affects.

than in the dreams when I realise I can no longer stay a child

With my youth fleeting all too soon…will he still gaze at me with such adoration?

When I touched your bare sunburnt skin,

I allowed my hands to caress freely on his well burdened shoulders.

even though I wasn't sad my tears simply spilt over

My feelings once again overwhelmed me and I succumbed to my distasteful weakness. I weep all too easily. I ache for reasons too insignificant. I am distressed by issues way beyond my control. But…this is just the way I am no matter how much I struggled to change.

It's strange how I seem to be feeling down

Why am I no longer content with his tender affection? Wasn't his love, all that I needed to sustain me? I do not understand why my heart trembles with such overbearing misery.

If this is love I don't need anything else

I just desire his unfaltering devotion and if I could have his all then I am satisfied.

I don't want anything but you

I yearn for him forevermore through the end of time and perhaps evermore.

The sunflower that bloomed this year is you

He was now a father; a renowned family man. I appeared to be happy for him but underneath that guise fear crept on to me. He now had everything he had always wished for but now where do I stand?

The wind blows in the twilight summer sky

Our time is coming to an end and the fact that I am well aware only added further bitterness.

The faint shimmering heat haze

He is slipping away…

I only look up at you

The distance only increases as I struggle to comprehend it…

The shining look of love 'I love you'

From afar he would reassure me with a faint smile…before becoming too preoccupied with his family.

Whenever summer ends

If the time comes where he bids me farewell…for the final time

I always feel as if I'd lost something

I will aspire to remember all the pleasure we shared amongst each other…even if there would be nothing but great emptiness awaiting me.

Because the slowly lengthening shadows make me feel anxious

The less we would meet the more I would feel deserted.

I want to see you no matter what

I still crave for his affection even if it would truly make me into a troublesome woman.

Please scold me gently

Despite the nature of his visit today, I treasured his presence so close to mine.

for not being able to think that I'll be alright

Someone told him that I wasn't taking care of my health and he came to chide in my behaviour.

even if we're apart

My love for him will linger on despite how distant he may be.

And then I'll fall more and more in love

I will progress further in this bittersweet romance even if I need to forsaken my sanity.

I end up falling in love with only you

There is no one else I rather devote myself to.

The brightly smiling sun is you

Please don't leave me, you are too vital in my existence to disappear off.

On the hill path blurred by the sunset

Please don't look at me with such remorse and tearful eyes as you turn your back to me and walk away.

the shimmering heat haze

Please stay and envelop me with your tender affection.

only reflects you

There is you and only you…

The shining look of summer

I shall remember you by all those memories if you truly insist that you really must go.

'I love you'

Miya was only randomly looking through the pages of this ancient diary with no particular interest. However, the appearance of this well-known poem seemed to tease her curiosity further. Is that the origin of the infamous Sun and the Sunflower poem? The Sandaime had always told her that it was about young summer love which was not meant to last. Well, at least he got some aspects right.

After reading the diary passage, Miya was bewildered at its contents. She knew that "I" meant the Lady Shizumi herself, but who was this "he"?

At least now, the Lady Shizumi felt more human as opposed to her tales as being the regal and distant celestial beauty. She must have truly lived up to the tales passed down of her to have had such a long lasting affair with this married man. Did she compose this poem before her passing, or perhaps this may have been another reason to hint that she actually had taken her own life.

The Sandaime had told her once that the Lady Shizumi was rumoured to have been heavily affiliated with three other men. In the first page, Miya had already read how the Lady Shizumi proclaimed her love for both Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, but who was the other man…Lord Tobirama? Miya sympathized with the deceased woman on being tore apart between her loves for two separate men. Miya had once and still suffers the same dilemma between Naruto and Sasuke.

The masked man hinted to her that she brought into existence for a reason and that history will repeat itself once more until it gets an appropriate ending. She must continue to read in order to uncover those secrets well-hidden for so many generations…
