I don't own Naruto! I don't own Evanescence.

Nicole turned her attention toward the noise. She looked down to see a small orange cat. It meowed and Nicole chuckled slightly while tears flew down her face. She had that feeling where you really want that shiny new toy. You go to the store and get in line. You're in a good mood so you let a young kid cut you. When your turn comes up, the last toy was given to the child before you.

"I'm so stupid." Nicole said as she bent down to pet the cat.

"Meow." Hinata said form behind her. Hinata's smile faded when Nicole started to sing part of the song she engraved upon Sasuke's tombstone for no apparent reason.

"Please, please forgive me, but I won't be home again. Maybe some day you'll look up and barely conscious you'll say to no one 'Isn't something missing?' You won't cry for my absence I know. You forgot me long ago. Am I that unimportant? Am I so insignificant? Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me?" Nicole sang as the tears flew freely now.

"Please don't cry." Hinata whispered as she fought back her own tears. Nicole stood up and the cat ran off.

"Let's go." Nicole whispered to Hinata. Hinata nodded and walked inside. Gaze affixed upon the ground, Nicole sighed a few moments later and opened the door. She stopped halfway, feeling warm arms wrap around her. Nicole jerked her head up, tears flying in every direction like liquid diamonds.

"Did you miss me?" A deep voice asked. Nicole turned around to gaze into the darkest eyes she had ever seen.

"S-Sasuke?" Nicole whispered to herself as she gazed at the boy.

"Is that all I get after 6 years?" The boy said with a slight laugh.

"Sasuke!" Nicole shouted as she hugged him.

"Nicole what're you--Sasuke?" Hinata asked as she stepped outside.

"Hello." Sasuke greeted.

"Oh my gosh…..oh my gosh…oh my…oh oh! Naruto!" Hinata said as she ran inside. Naruto came out a few moments later.

"Sasuke?" Naruto said loudly.

"How are you here?" Hinata asked.

"I had to pull a few strings up in spirit world," Sasuke said with a slight smile, "But I'm here."

"Naruto," Hinata said while taking his hand, "Let's go inside." Naruto grinned and followed.

"We should get inside as well." Sasuke said as he led her into the living room. Soaking wet, Nicole looked at Sasuke for a moment.

"I thought I lost you." Nicole said.

"I know." Sasuke said.

"You had me worried." Nicole said.

"Oh, and I love you too." Sasuke smiled at Nicole. Nicole leaned over and kissed Sasuke. Wow, ironic how their first kiss is at 19 years old huh? Sasuke kissed back while Naruto was having some fun of his own.
