It's been four long years, and finally I feel as if I can rest. I wonder if I have even slept in these four years. Maybe, but nightmares were probably the only thing that greeted me at the door of unconsciousness. Sakura doesn't sleep, that is one of the things that made her go insane. Sasuke….He sleeps, but so lightly a small rain drop falling to the ground would wake him.
Anyway, all that doesn't really matter now, 'cause we have finally lost. Did we lose the will to live on this day? Or was it when we took those first few steps away from the people who lay slain on the unholy blooded ground after we had left the village? Maybe….But it doesn't matter. Who cares about Sakura losing her mind? Who cares that Sasuke didn't get to kill the brother that killed his clan? Who cared when I lay cold and beaten at the age of 8 just because I had a demon inside me?
Who cares that we lay here, on the green grass, the sun shining down so bright on us, warming our skin? Who cares that blood surrounds us? Who cares that it is our blood?
We aren't dead yet… Yet. But give in time. Maybe another 5 minutes? Anyway, shouldn't it be raining? But the sun is shining happily. Doesn't it rain when people like us die? Maybe the sky isn't thinking about us today. Oh well, I'd rather die while the sun is shining and holding the hands of my dying friends. And then I think back to what Sasuke told us, on a day like this.
"Heh, I wouldn't choose better people to go hell with."
I knew we wouldn't be going to the great place up in the sky. That was quite obvious. But, as Sasuke had said, I wouldn't choose better people to go to hell with. It wasn't a nice thought, going to hell. But it was the truth and I'm not one to lie to myself, so I won't deny it. So if I'm damned, I'll be damned. If there was a way to save our souls I would gladly do it in a second. But sadly, no angels are appearing in front of us, so I'm guessing we're on our own here.
"If I was a bird-" Sakura chocked out, breaking the silence, "-I would fly away from everything, I wish I was a bird….i wish we were all birds. Then-" She paused again, thinking of the right words? "-Then we would be free from our golden cage." Naruto smiled lightly. Are birds even free? Nothing in this world is free, not even feelings. The birds may fly, the fish may swim and humans may walk, but that doesn't mean we can ever escape. We are all caged and are destined to stay in this golden cage. I might believe we can make our own destiny, but there are things we cannot escape. We can't escape being hated, loved, sad, and happy and we will never be able to stop the reaper from taking our hands and leading us away from one cage to another
I would describe how we died, but I don't care, it wasn't important. But I'll describe who killed us. He was a man I have always looked up to, a man with silver hair and a mask covering his face and an orange book usually in hand when he fought us. Not this time though. No, he had to calculate every move we were going to do, and he had to do it in a short amount of time. Even with his powerful eye it was hard for him to keep up to us, but he managed. He also picked up on our weaknesses early on in our battle. We loved each other. That was a weakness we were proud to have, but still, it was a weakness no enemy should learn about. But he did. Oops. We messed up, we got angry. He hurt Sakura pretty badly, she was screaming and hot tears ran down her face. Sasuke was careless when he acted, so was I. We wanted to go over to her and help her up…So we got distracted. So careless.
Kakashi….One of the hardest thing he ever had to do….Not the fight. But the killing us part. He watched us grow up, he watched us become stronger and he watched us leave. He told us. But he didn't no that we would be leaving the village. He just saw Me, Sasuke and Sakura walking off into the forest….he thought we would e back….he thought wrong though.
Pain is running threw my body like melted white metal. And I suddenly just can't wait to fall asleep. But, if im going to hell I should get used to this I guess. I don't want Sakura and Sasuke to go threw this pain. So I start wishing to God that they go to heaven, I'll take their punishments to. I don't care about me, I just….dont want them to be sad.
That sounded so cheesy, but hey, its truth. And usually the truth comes out very cheesy. So I don't care. I lay in the green field, holding my friends hands and prayer to the Gods, that they will take Mercy on Sakura and Sasuke. It's my fault anyway, I am the guilty one. If I wasn't around-
"I'm so happy I meet you Naruto and Sakura." Sasuke whispers out in pain. Sometimes I think he can read my mind.
"I love you both, don't forget that, okay?" Sakura giggled, but it ended up with her coughing up blood.
"Sakura-!"
"I'm fine." She whispered, but she wasn't. None of us are, we all know. Why are we lying?
"I'm not," I whisper to them, "I'm dying and going to hell. But hey, at least I'll have company, and misery does love company." I laugh, just slightly.
"I wanted so bad to kill him-" Sasuke shouts, well, talks loudly. "I wanted to rip his throat out for hurting my precious people! But, at least I'll see him in hell!" Sasuke sounded so bitter, I was sad. "God, I don't care! Let the bastard live, he doesn't have what I have and never will." He squeezes our hands a little, and he sounded a little less bitter and a little more….Happy? I'm not sure if that was the right word, but….whatever.
"Well-" Sakura closed her eyes, tears running from them. "-looks like I'm the first to go." I feel her loosen her grip on my hand a little, but its still tight….dead. My pink haired friend, my first love and the person I held close to my heart. I wanted to cry, but I didn't. She didn't want me to so I held it all in. I shall miss her, but why? I'll be joining her soon. I ask God once more, begging God to send her to a place where the sun shines and the flowers are always beautiful. Please…
"I didn't….i didn't want to leave you on your own again-" Sasuke is have trouble breathing, "-But….i don't think I have a choice in the matter." And I feel him die…My heart sinks and I want to cry so badly. But I don't, I keep it in and again I beg that God will send him to where, Sakura hopefully is.
"I want to take their punishment! Let me go to hell for them both!" I shout out angrily! Holding my friends hands so tight my knuckles are turning white. "I don't care….as long….as long as they are okay…" That's all I ever wanted. Just for them to smile happily would be the greatest gift I could ever receive, even if im not there to see it and even if im not the person making them smile. I would gladly take any punishment.
Slowly, my eyes begin to close and I feel a numbing feeling spread across my body. I was the last to go, but that's okay. I wouldn't want them to watch me die. The very last thing I see as I die is three birds, a pink one, black one and white one. They fly threw the air, twisting and twirling. Maybe birds are free.
Sound the bugle now
- play it just for me I'm a soldier - wounded so I must
give up the fight Sound the bugle now - tell them I
don't care Then from on high -
somewhere in the distance So be strong tonight - remember who you are
As the seasons change - remember how I used
to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing
left - just an empty heart
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay
right down - decide not to go on
There's a voice that calls - remember
who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
Ya you're a
soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more -Ya
that's worth fighting for
The sun is shining so brightly and I feel so warm. Sakura petals surround me from the blowing wind. Threes are everywhere, filled with pink petals. And in the distant, I see two figures.
"Naruto, hurry up!"
"Come on, dobe, we don't have all day."
They both smile at me so happily, and my heart if filled with so much love for them both.
Three birds fly threw the beautiful blue sky. One pink, one black and one white.
I forgive thee
