The Crying Sky.
This was actually something I had to write in my Pre-AP English class. I was given a sentence to start off with and I had to go from there and use that to make seven paragraphs with dialouge. I changed the paragraphs around here though. But luckily, the sentence I was given pertained to our favorite Naruto pairing. So you get an extra un-planned drabble. Go you!
'In time,' She told herself, 'Everything will be alright, all the trouble will be gone.' But it was a lie. It was the same lie she'd been telling herself everyday for five years. The same lie that had been her mantra since the day he left the village. Left all the people that cared about him. The day he left her.
"Thinking about him again?" The girl looked up from where she was seated on a stone bench and her jade eyes met a pair of bright blue ones.
She didn't respond because he already knew the answer. They were always thinking of him: Thinking of what they'd lost.
The blonde boy sat himself next to her enthusiastically but the built up energy in him began to die down when he saw that the look on her face hadn't changed.
"Gomen," He said quietly, tears began to gather in his eyes, "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise, I'm sorry I couldn't bring him back for you."
Her eyes flashed momentarily from jade to viridian before they changed back to their original shade, "You know I don't blame you! I don't blame anybody. It's not your fault."
The words echoed in the silence as an avalanche of emotions hit them both with breath-taking force.
The first tear to hit the pavement was his. His cerulean eyes had watered so suddenly that he hadn't had time to stop them from over-flowing. But after the shock of sudden sorrow was flowing through his veins, none of that mattered because the tear on the pavement was followed by a barrage of many more.
There they were: two teammates, two close friends who loved each other on some level, spilling useless buckets of salty tears for a boy that was corrupted by tragedy and an insatiable lust for power.
He had a goal. One that was so important to him, that he was willing to rid himself of all the irreplaceable bonds they forged together. He was willing to sacrifice the only people that he had left to reach that goal. He was prepared to give it all up for that one moment of victory. The boy was bent on becoming stronger and more powerful to avenge the murder of his entire clan. His goal was to kill the man who slaughtered them: To kill his own brother.
The blonde placed his arm around his female companion and they collapsed into each other, both shaking violently.
At that moment, it began to sprinkle and then very quickly, it began to pour. Millions of tiny water droplets washing over them with no other purpose but to wet the dry earth beneath them.
"Look," Her voice made him blink. It was shaky and she sounded so broken... "The sky... The sky is crying, too. All for him."
The blue-eyed boy nodded, his face pointed towards the sky, still holding the girl tight against him. If he let go.. She might crumble. But he didn't think about that. Instead, he thought about the boy and everything that idiot had left behind. Wasn't he supposed to be a genius? He thought about the boy... his best friend, that he'd given up so much for. He thought about how he never regret it.
And as the crying sky's tears hit his cheeks in a gentle down pour, he gave the world a sad smile.
