Ending #1
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…
It was the day of Sasuke's funeral.
The atmosphere was gray and moody.
Sakura stood still dressed in her midnight black clothes.
Her eyes staring at the ground and weren't focused on the funeral.
While everyone went up one by one saying what he or she knew about Sasuke, Sakura wasn't paying attention as she was supposed to.
I never said good-bye…and now I am at his funeral…I never thought this day would come…my one and only died because of his own body difficulties! If only I never met him! Stupid Sakura! Why did you have to follow him home that day! You grew an even closer bond when you stayed over at his house!
Toshi took Sakura's hand and held it.
Sakura felt something on her cheek.
She went up to feel it.
It's wet…The skies began raining.
The last person to go up was she and everyone was waiting.
Sakura took a deep breath and started walking up to the front of the crowd.
She turned towards the crowd and everyone was watching her.
She sighed.
"S-sasuke was my best friend. My life…my everything. He did do some things that were unforgivable but you forgave him. He was such a good person. You may not have seen it through his ice-cold exterior but…it was there. His heart was there. Beating with life. Until I came…"
Everyone's confused and shocked faces looked intently at her face as she continued.
"I killed him. His heart broke when I left him. I shouldn't have done that but his heart broke. He shouldn't have died! I should be the one in that coffin! You don't know me! It wouldn't have mattered if I died! No one here knew me as well as Sasuke! But he had to go…if I had one thing to say to him it would be these few words…"
Sakura turned towards the coffin with Sasuke's body.
"Sasuke…I love you…so much. You would have wanted me to be happy, but it isn't enough without you here. I have to let you go…but it hurts so much! Goodbye, Sasuke."
Sakura left the front of the crowd and began rushing back to Sasuke's home.
Her tears streamed down her face but it went unnoticed in the pouring rain.
She ran inside and locked herself in Sasuke's room. She slid from the door and cried.
The crowd watched the heartbroken young woman run from the front. They turned back ready to give their flowers as parting gifts when they noticed a stem of cherry blossoms left already there. When did she…?
The crowd looked back and continued on.
Sakura was still crying when the funeral was long over.
She grabbed one of Sasuke's shirts and held it close to her because Sasuke's still faint but lingering scent was still left.
Sakura breathed in deeply.
Sasuke, give me the strength to let you go…Sakura felt something from his short pocket and shook the shirt.
A piece of letter fell and landed on the floor.
Sakura stood up and picked up the paper.
She looked on the front.
'Do not open unless something bad happened…' –Sasuke
Sakura opened the piece of paper.
(Author's Note: If you are going to continue reading please have the song First Love by Utada Hikaru…it fits the mood, and as I was typing this up I was listening to the song.)
Sasuke's Letter
Sakura,
If you are reading this then something happened to me. What ever it was just know that I NEVER regret having met you. I love you with all my heart and I will never forget you. I never have found someone special like you. You completed me like no other person had. Just know that no matter what, I wish for your happiness. It was not fair of me to leave so suddenly but…I am at loss for words.
You are wonderful, it hurts me to write this letter before something happened. I wish I could have spent more time with you. I know my time is short so I have one thing left to say for you before this small letter ends.
My life has never been as complete without you there by my side. Keep my heart safe. I'll treasure yours forever.
Love,
Sasuke
Sakura stared at the letter with tears dripping silently.
"Don't leave me, Sasuke… I don't want you to leave!"
Sakura saw the tears she made running the ink and she grew desperate and blew for the water to stop blurring the letter.
"Damn my tears!"
Sakura placed the letter on the ground and buried herself in his shirt.
Her heart cried in agony.
She fell asleep with Sasuke's shirt in a tight grip and the letter beside her.
Her tear made a train down her face and fell on his shirt.
Toshi was back at home after eating with Naruto and Hinata.
"I'm home… Sakura?"
Toshi tiptoed into Sasuke's room and saw Sakura asleep on the bed holding tightly to Sasuke's shirt.
Toshi sighed and went to his room.
He sat back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.
"Sasuke, can you hear me?"
No one answered of course.
"How's heaven? Life's been good to you? Sakura has been crying again. She loves you a lot you know. She is just a wreck. I don't know what I am going to do…"
A few days later Sakura left Sasuke's room.
Toshi looked at Sakura and quickly gave her something to eat.
She ate silently and stared at the table.
"Have you ever wondered what life is like when you need glasses to find out that your glasses are destroyed? I feel like that person that needs glasses, Toshi."
Toshi hugged Sakura and held her.
"Sasuke would have wanted you to be happy. So live life as you would everyday, Sakura. Even though he is not here, I still need your support. I want to be a ninja!"
Toshi grinned.
Sakura gave a small smile.
"Of course you do! You'll be a big and strong ninja and protect little old me!"
"I want to start being a ninja as soon as possible!"
Sakura started laughing for the first time after Sasuke's funeral.
She grabbed him in a hug.
"I'm going to go outside now and tell Hanabi!"
Sakura smiled.
"She your girlfriend?"
Toshi turned a bit red.
"No!"
"Whatever you say…"
Toshi huffed and ran outside.
Sakura sat down a came to a realization.
Sasuke, I will always love you but I learned to let you go...
I'll hold onto your heart until I am right beside you once again...
So watch over my heart...
Because I know that you love me...
