13. The End…

A/N:My laptop is now named Crap. Crap is my laptop with delayed reactions and slow responses. Because Crap does not want to communicate with me anymore, I can't access my story. I transferred the story to a disc if anything happens to it, and now here I am, rewriting the chapter because the disc was saved to chapter 11. How smart of me. Well…if I left off in the wrong spot, tell me, because Crap doesn't want to tell me. Oh yeah, if you're wondering what computer I'm using now…it's my little sister's. Hm…

Hinata and Jin fell to the ground, both tired and exhausted for using too much chakra, Hinata especially. Hinata's back was severely injured, and Jin's heart was about to give. They huffed and puffed their breath, and could hardly speak.

"H-H-Hinata…" Jin stuttered weakly, "P-Please s-spare me…I can't take it anymore."

Hinata still had a glare on her face. It faded to an expressionless face. She struggled to say, "F-Fine…I can have Naruto, and you die."

Jin cried, and crawled the opposite way of Hinata. Jin noticed that she was near the lake where she and Naruto got to know each other. She crawled her way to that very spot so she could die in a memorable spot. She couldn't do it anymore. She failed. Hinata just stared, watching the sapphire-eyed kunoichi crawl away. She lay down on the soft grass to rest, but she didn't want to fall asleep. She still wanted to see Naruto...today.

Jin suddenly felt the oak tree that was always by the lake where she sat. She wanted to die here in peace, and maybe even with Naruto, Sasuke, and the rest of Team 7. Her back leaned on the tree, and breathed heavily.

"She's gotta be here, I know it!" The blonde ninja exclaimed to Kakashi as they passed by from tree to tree ever so quickly.

"You better be right, you loser," Sasuke said darkly and he and Sakura came from behind. "I want to see her face before she dies…I just hope she doesn't."

"Well, you got here quickly. I-" Kakashi was stopped by Naruto, as he stared at Jin by the lake. He knelt down, and held Jin up.

"N-Naruto…" Jin weakly whispered. "I-I'm sorry…"

Naruto shed tears as he hugged her tightly. Jin breathed even more heavily.

"Y-You still d-didn't tell me why your beautiful eyes glow last night," Naruto tearfully said. Jin's eyes were now barely open.

"She's blind at night…when she used her Blinding Light Jutsu at night, she forgot to put her glasses on, and blinded her," Sasuke said, hiding his face, trying to hold back tears.

Jin nodded, closed her eyes, and took her last breath. She is now gone. Naruto held his head down in sadness and sorrow.

Sakura cried, and had her head on Sasuke's shoulder, while Sasuke's eyes were red from crying. Kakashi stared as if he had seen this many times, which he had. The sun went down…and it was getting dark. There was a sudden shadow that came out of nowhere.

"N-Naruto…" Hinata said shyly. "U-Um…are you busy?"

"You…" Naruto and Sasuke said ominously in unison. Naruto put Jin down gently, and walked by Hinata. He stood by her for a moment, said nothing, and walked away.

"Naruto…what courage you have to not say anything to her," Kakashi thought, "Yet foolish of you to not do anything at all."Two Weeks Later

"I've known her for at least 4 years," Sasuke said monotonously. "She's now gone…but she'll always be with me. I know it."

Sasuke stepped out of the microphone's way, and walked back to the place where Team 7 sat. It was a small mortuary back in Konoha. The only people that were there were Jin's team, Team7, and mourners that cried for the deceased. It was Naruto's turn. He stepped on the microphone, and began to speak.

"I only knew her for about a day," Naruto scratched off of his voice, "But I feel that I know so much about her."

This was all he said. He had nothing other than that to say, and walked off down the aisle of chairs, but was stopped by Sakura's hand.

"Tell me…" Sakura said softly, "Why she said sorry to you before she died."

"Apologies are for something you did to someone else," Naruto began to say. "She couldn't stick around for any longer, and that was something that hurt me."

Naruto left the mortuary, and walked outside the gates of Konoha. He jumped from tree to tree, and it wasn't long till he saw the Cotton Village, and saw the lake. It was late, and it shined like diamonds. Naruto felt the oak tree, sat down, stared at the glowing moonlight that reminded him of Jin's eyes, and thought about if she lived longer and what would happen.THE END

A/N: Well…the ending is like Love Story…where the dude sits in the snow all quiet and stuff…but yes, it ends here.
