For this fanfiction, I shall see if I can update once every week or two weeks. Perhaps on days that I have time there will be more updates. This is one story that deserves to be told slowly.
Done while listening to Trust Me by Yuuya Matsushita.
Disclaimer: It's really obvious that I don't own Naruto, If I did, a LOT of things would be different.
Thank you for the reviews! They really do mean a lot to me.
The man retreated back to his room and sunk down on his bed. He rubbed his eyes, the dark circles apparent underneath them. The clock ticked alone in the silence.
Dark eyes darted to the clock mounted on the wall, watching the seconds tick away. They said that time was precious and that the time of a life should be treasured.
He looked down and narrowed his eyes. What liars. What was there to treasure about time? It was nothing but a mocking force in life. Time controlled everything, the span of a person's life, the timing of events, even the length of daily actions.
He hated Time. He hated what Time had taken from him.
But most of all, he hated the time that she had been in the tank.
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, days in months, and months into years.
3 years, 7 months, 28 days, 23 hours had passed since that day.
His beautiful wife was falling, gravity grabbing her body with its angry claws. His mouth opened in a desperate cry and mixed with the tightening knot in his throat.
He ran and ran. In his heart of hearts, he knew that wouldn't be there to catch her. But still he ran, just holding on to the faint hope that flashed before him.
She gave him a sad look. The light was fading all too quickly from her eyes.
How the fading light contrasted to the burning flame in his widening eyes.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Uchiha Sakura had passed out before she even hit the ground.
The man jerked awake and threw his blankets to the foot of the bed. Sweat laced his face and body and dripped off his chin. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and slowly got out of bed. As he was changing into his lab coat, he took a quick glance at the clock.
3 years, 7 months, 29 days, and 2 hours.
Well this is probably the update for the month or so. I'm a bit surprised at how much I plan for this but always end up with a really short chapter. Sorry for leaving at a cliffhanger! I'll make the chapters longer in the future, I promise!
I might update in two weeks if I have any ideas for this. Like always, please read and review.
