She never thought she would see him again. Especially not like this. Temari never expected to see the six armed man she had had a little episode with appear in front of her like this-dead and bloody and bruised, killed by the Hyuga boy.
She has seen worse. Her father's face, gone and missing from his body, her brother turning into a salivating monster from the depths of hell, her mother's body covered in a blood stained sheet. So she doesn't understand why something wrenched within her when she saw that still, unmoving body which had belonged to a man she had met only once before, which she now learned had assisted in her father's murder, in the near destruction of Konoha, in the kidnapping of Uchiha Sasuke. She doesn't understand why tears began to well up while she stared at the body of Toumon no Kidoumaru.
She walks outside afterwards. There are trees here, she thinks, so different from Suna with its barren lands.
She can imagine him swinging in those trees, grinning with that wolfs edge he had had when she met him. She can imagine him grinning at her again, and she wishes she had had a chance with him, and a chance to say goodbye.
But now, it was too late.
It was too late to say goodbye.
