Nothing

Summary: In the beginning I thought I had everything. Then I knew I had everything. In the end I now have nothing. Drabble.
Notes: Hmm, again, this came to me while playing a song on the piano called 'I Have Nothing' from the movie 'The Bodyguard'...it seems that my best ideas come while playing piano...heh. Anyways, you might want to read the lyrics to the song to sort of understand my thought while writing this.
Disclaimer: Does a freshman in high school sound like she could own Naruto? Good. I don't.

In the beginning, when I just graduated the academy at five years old, I thought I had everything. I thought I did because I had skills and was regarded as a genius. I never thought I had everything because of my father. The day I found him dead was the day I vowed never to be like him. I never thought about Hatake Sakumo for a long time.
When I got a sensei I groaned. I thought I didn't need one. I was wrong. I learned many things from my sensei. He helped me get into the chuunin exams despite Sarutobi Hokage's warning. Thanks to my sensei, I also made it out of the exams. Alive and a chuunin.
When I got my teammates at age 12, I thought they were a burden. I thought they would slow me down. Back then, Rin was an annoying helpless female and Obito was an idiot.
Then I took a liking to Obito as a friend. Despite his tardiness and his loudness, he was okay to be around. My sensei was glad we were getting along.
The day we left for stone country was the day I started appreciating my father again. Sensei told Obito what had happened to my father. Obito said my father was a hero. I pondered that all the way to Stone Country and realized that Obito was right.
When I got my scar while fighting Stone Ninjas, I realized I had everything. From that moment, I knew I had everything.
Friends.
Sensei.
Status.
Skills.
Love.
Respect.
When Obito pushed me out of the way and was crushed, I realized I was about to lose someone very important. Sensei said he'd never seen me so merciless that day.
When Rin and sensei both died on the same day, I realized I had lost a big part of my everything. I had lost my friends and sensei.
Then, I regained the friends part. But I never got my sensei back. Instead, I became one. I gained three gaki to train. They passed my test. They were the first to do so.
Did you know the test was based after what you'd taught me, Obito?
Before my team, I gained some friends and an eternal rival. Asuma, Kurenai, Genma, Gekkou, Izumo, Kotetsu, and Gai.
I wish time would've stopped there.
Slowly, I lost my team first. Sasuke left for Orochimaru. Naruto left to find him and when he came back, he left again to train more with Jiraiya. Sakura became Godaime's prodigy.
During that time, I also began to lose my friends. Gekkou died first. The rest were slowly sent to their deaths later.
I had more than enough reasons to visit the memorial stone.
I didn't need any more. Nor did I want anymore.
As I grew older, my stealth and speed dwindled, even if I still had skill.
I still had respect, but what good is it without friends? Without love?
Now as I'm standing infront of the stone, I realize, I'm back where I started.
I have lost everything.
I'm back to nothing.
