Day 2

Life had now burdened the poor children, as they continually wept for their lost friend. As Iruka-sensei watched them, all he noticed were darkened souls that would shed tears when they were out of public's sight.

Naruto had lost his sense of laughter happiness and Sakura would always sob at the sound of Sasuke's name. Kakashi was, strangely, nowhere to be found.

"I hope that he didn't commit seppuku…" Iruka thought to himself. The teacher then began to worry, thinking that his students would try to kill themselves for something that they couldn't avoid.

During the mid-afternoon, Sakura decided to go to the school to tell her friends the painful story. As she was entering, she noticed her childhood friend Ino. She was with her other comrades, Shikamaru and Choji, when she came up to Sakura.

"Hey there blossom!" She cooed with what sounded snotty. "Why aren't' you with Sasuke?" There was a shocking silence between the two friends as Sakura moved her head to one side trying to resist crying. Ino's annoying smile turned into confusion, then into horrible shock.

"It-it can't be!" she stuttered with disbelief, "N-not Sasuke! T-Tell me it didn't happen to Sasuke!" Shikamaru and Choji looked down with misery in their eyes.

"He died saving Naruto," Sakura mumbled, lips quivering, her hiding tears were then released as she brought up her heavy head to see Ino. She shook her head, and held her hands to her face as she sank to the floor.

"S-Sasuke! SASUKE!" she screamed, shaking. Shikamaru fell to her side, wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm here for you Ino. I'm here for you," Sakura, with stained cheeks, walked passed them, leaving her despaired friend.

"Forgive me…" Sakura sobbed as she walked away hearing the blood-curdling screams. At that moment, Hinata, and her comrades, Kiba and Shino, entered through a door to the right, where Sakura almost went passed.

"What's going on?" Kiba snapped as his dog Akamaru came up from under his shirt. Sakura then knew that she had to tell them too, and with the same tears rolling down her cheeks, she told them.

Hinata, shocked to hear this, reacted the same as Ino, and hid her face in Kiba's shoulder. He placed a hand on her shoulder and said nothing, only to wince at the ground avoiding tears. Shino had his hand up on his face covering his face as he was shaking. After that, the whole school knew about Sasuke's painful death, even Neji, Tan-tan, and RockLee heard of it. With that, all of the students were grounded with misery…including the one who loved Sasuke the most: Naruto Uzumaki.

Blood covered the darkened room, Naruto stood there looking at Sasuke who showed him a big smile.

"I used to hate you y'know…" Naruto smiled to he him okay, but he then realized that Sasuke's face was melting away into what looked like Orochimaru.

"What is wrong demon fox? I thought you hated Sasuke?" He then attacked Naruto, who stood there stiff… Naruto awoke with sweat rolling down his temples. It was nighttime, and the air was light and cold. He sat there in his bed, waiting for this heart to slow down. He thought that not thinking about Sasuke would clear his mind of pain, but no. Naruto held his knees close to him, as his panting slowly turned to sobbing.

"Sasuke, you idiot. Why did you have to leave?" He said as tears streamed down his cheeks.
