They were never enough.
No matter how hard they tried, they were never enough. Whether they were trying to become more confident, trying to become stronger, or trying to make father proud, they never were, and never would be enough. It was harsh of her to mock their dreams, but, Kurenai knew that they would only ever be enough to each other. She watched Hinata be disgraced by her father in front of her team, watched Shino try and fail to make his father proud, who just ignored him, watched Kiba get beat by his mother because he wasn't strong enough.
They always comforted Hinata after Hiashi was done speaking to her, they always trained hard after Shino gave up on his father for the day, they always hung out with Kiba after his mother had gotten her point across.
They were each others real family, and to each other, they were more than enough. The always were, and always would have been. Kurenai shook off the churning in her stomach, and set down the four flowers in her hand, bound together by a thick blade of grass. It was exactly like Team 8, bound together by being a team, but staying together because they were family. They went on S-Rank missions before, but not ones like this. They died as honorable and skilled shinobi. They were a great team and were best friends. They completed their mission, at least, and took out a large chunk of the Atkatsuki. Kiba, Shino, Hinata, and Akamaru. Sometimes, life really was unfair.
Most people would say that Kiba, Hinata, Shino, and Akamaru weren't enough to live, they weren't good enough, but Kurenai knew the truth. The truth was, they were too much to live on such an unfair world, they were too good to stay in such a world of hate. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make anyone see them how they were. They couldn't make anyone acknowledge their strength, confidence, or greatness, until it was too late, until they left to go on to a place where they deserved to be, until now. They're gone, and only now do they see their strength, confidence, and greatness. Now they're enough.
Nee-chan: Done, I can't believe that I killed Akamaru!... And Shino and Hinata.
Shino and Hinata: shrugs
Akamaru: Barks
Nee-chan: But I can believe that I killed Kiba.
Kiba: What? Why?
Nee-chan: You're killable, in most of the fics I read you die, and its not because I look for those fics.
Kiba: Hmmph
Nee-chan: Yeah, so, remember folks say nope to dope AND to Review, because I'm assuming you've already read.
R&R!
Ja ne everyone
