Thin Line Between Death and Life
Mom: Rin
Grams: Tsunade
I sat alone in my room going down memory lane. Everyone has been worried sick about us. It has come to the point that Gaara and his siblings have begun to live here to keep an eye on us. I sighed and turned to the window. It was bright outside. It was a beautiful day, happy and peaceful. But, it felt nothing like that. Sadness, anger, hurt, it all lurked within me. Somehow it might have something to do with what happened years ago in high school.
Flash back
"Ami, come on, we will be late!!!" Ino yelled as we headed to class.
Back then I wasn't popular but people still surrounded me, I had a wonderful boyfriend. All the friends I did have loved me. Yet somehow I felt so alone. Everything that has happened in my life. My sisters fighting all the time.
"I'm not going to class, go on ahead, see you later." I said.
It came to the point I couldn't take it anymore. The yelling. The blaming.
How could anyone survive?
I walked slowly to the roof. Heading up the long stairway in silence. My footsteps could probably be heard from all the way down there.
No one would understand. No one really knew me
I stood on the roof. At the edge of the building. Staring down at the campus. The bell rang and everyone filed out. One girl saw me and shrieked. Everyone turned to look at me. All yelling for help or some yelling to get me to not jump off.
And yet, I knew someone understood me. I knew someone was there always to make sure I wouldn't be harmed in anyway.
"Ami!!!!!" I heard my name being called from behind me. I knew who it was.
"I'm sorry, but I can't take it anymore." I told him.
"Ami, please don't jump, I know how you feel, I understand, but it doesn't mean you should kill yourself, you have people that care for you," he paused and hesitated before speaking again. "I love you, please don't leave me here alone." He said. I stayed silent. I was shocked.
"I….." I turned around to face him. He smiled and walked towards me. I was about to jump down but something pulled me back.
"It is your time." I heard as I fell back. Obito went wide eyed and ran towards me and caught me before I could fall.
"Don't let me go!" I cried.
"I won't!" He answered.
If only I had died that day, Obito would still be here.
End of Flashback
I turned to the yearbook in front of me. It was turned to the page with a picture of Obito Uchiha on it.
"Rest in peace." I mumbled as a single tear fell down my cheek.
"Today is the anniversary." Ino mumbled as everyone sat in the living room in silence.
"I know." Tenten mumbled.
"Anniversary?" Gaara asked.
"A couple of close friends were killed today." Sakura answered.
"That explains all that has been happening." Jiraiya mumbled.
"Why?" Neji asked.
"Their powers probably went haywire and must have summoned Ana by accident, Ana might have meant that Ami took her peace." Iruka said.
"I guess." Kurenai said.
"Is that the reason why Ami is locked in her room?" Shino asked.
"Yes." Hinata answered. Sasuke and Naruto suddenly turned to the ceiling and sighed.
"The elders want to see us, we'll be back later." Sasuke said as they both orbed out.
"Yeah, I have to go to work." Neji said.
"Ditto." Shino said. Little by little everyone left. The only ones left were the Halliwell family.
"Girls, remember I told you I was going to show you something?" Anko asked. The girls nodded.
"Meet us in the attic, go get Ami." Jiraiya said.
I sighed as my sisters dragged me to the attic.
"Come on, it's better then moping." Tenten said.
"I am not moping, just remembering." I mumbled.
"You know, if you plan to have a healthy relationship with Sasuke, you should tell him about him." Sakura said. I stopped and turned to her.
"If you plan to have a healthy relation ship with Shika, you should tell him about him." I mocked her. She frowned.
"I will, as soon as Tenten tells Neji." She said.
"Damn it, it sucks being the oldest, I got no one to pass it on too." She mumbled. We smiled as we entered the attic but frowned once we saw the two people we thought we would never see again.
"Mom, grams?" We echoed
"Girls, I'm so happy to see you!!!!" Our mother chirped. Hinata took one more look and fainted while the rest of us only stared.
"How could you not tell us we could summon the dead!!!!????" We all yelled.
"Because, we can't stay here long, and this is a special occasion girls." Grandma Tsunade.
"It doesn't matter, I'm happy to see you mom!!!!" Hinata said as soon as everything going on finally set in.
"Oh girls." Mom and grams echoed. We could only hug our beloved mom and grams and cry after years of not seeing them.
"Well, we have to leave, but feel free to summon us when ever you want, just not everyday, when it is important things." Grams lectured.
"We got it." We echoed with a smile.
"And you, no one stays here to live, go back home or find one nearby, don't want my girls supporting a bunch of freeloaders." My mom warned everyone. Everyone nodded with a smile as they disappeared.
"Well, I guess we will leave you girls to talk, we will go back to our house now, we left the address and phone numbers on the fridge." Kurenai said. We smiled and nodded as we all said our good byes.
Once everyone had left we sat in silence in the attic.
"I wonder," I paused as my sisters turned to me. "I wonder how different our lives would have been if they were still alive, if they were still here with us." I mumbled.
"Yeah, I can just imagine Deidara and Obito trying to make Sasori smile." Tenten mused.
"And Sasori pushing Deidara and Obito away." Ino said.
"And Yamato and Sai laughing their asses off." Sakura added.
"Or when Sai would try to make Ami and Tenten mad." Hinata mumbled. All of us smiled and sighed at the same time.
"And if mom and grams would still be here, if mom and dad were still together." Tenten mumbled. We all frowned.
"I guess, in a way, they are still here, in spirit, but here nonetheless." I mumbled. They all nodded. Suddenly Ino jumped up with a big grin.
"I have an idea!!!" She shrieked.
"Maybe we shouldn't, we have our boyfriends here and if we summon them it's gonna be real hard to explain why we summoned them in the first place." Sakura said in fluster.
"Geez, you were the only one who never rebelled in High school, show Sai that you got some back bone." Ino said. Sakura sighed in defeat and nodded. Hinata smiled as she and Tenten were putting the candles in a circle and I was busy looking for the spell.
"Now, let's see." I mumbled as we looked for the spell in the book of shadows.
"I found it, okay, let's hold hands and read this." I said pointing to the spell. They nodded and sighed.
"Hear these words, hear my cry.
Spirit from the other side.
Come to me, I summon thee
Cross now the great divide." We chanted. A slight breeze surrounded us and slowly made its way to the circle. Slowly, figures started to descend to the circle.
"Oh my god." Sakura said in astonishment.
"Girls?"
