I do not own Naruto. In fact I have only seen up to about episode 21. No spoilers but there is character death. You have been warned. (This was inspired by a pic my sister drew. www(dot)deviantart(dot)com(slash)deviation(slash)38421884(slash) )

Oh and I apologies for the stupid title.

Remembrance.

When Kakashi died, not by a jutsu or a weapon but by poison, Naruto started carrying a certain book around everywhere (the orange cover matched his cloths), Sasuke started wearing a mask over the lower half of his face (and noticed it cut down on the some of the fan-girls, he suspected this was why Kakashi wore it in the first place) and Sakura started being late for everything.

They didn't talk about, least of all with each other.

When Sakura, on her way to becoming a great medic nin, died in childbirth, Naruto grew his hair out and started to wear his headband like she used to and Sasuke searched though all of Konoha until he found a dye that perfectly matched Sakura's hair.

Neither of them talked about it.

When Naruto, well on his way to becoming the next Hokage (it helped that the people in power knew him and weren't just people afraid of Kyuubi), died on an ANBU mission, Sasuke took the mask, placed it around his neck and never took it off.

No one said a thing.
