(Ok before you go ahead, may I remind you of how this story is labeled a tragedy?
It wasnt labeled like that just for the kisses between our two heroes ,ok? So please dont get mad for the character death ahead. It was your choice to read this story and you couldnt expect a happy ending, in most of the cases. So next time you dislike sad endings, please dont look for tragedy in the stories section. Your choice to read this. Also, thanks to the few people that review me fully each time. They are my favorite fans and they know who they are. Also to the rest of you, thanks for ignoring my request for 10 reviews. Sadly, I couldnt refrain from posting because I didnt want to dissapoint the rest of you that do read this and enjoy it and also because I wanted to get done with this story before I moved on to some other one I am planning to write.
I know the end is not nice at all but I had this plot in my mind from the start and I didnt wish to change it. Then yet again, what kind of a tragedy would it be if I didnt stick to the word and make it true? Ok, enjoy.)
Chapter 10: The Letter
Sakura kept banging on the door, with tears on her eyes, she couldnt believe how that jerk of Naruto left her locked in that room, how he prevented her from following the mission.
If Konoha was to be freed, she wanted to be there was a battle for its liberty, she wanted to be in it. She was willing to risk her life and it was her damn right. When he'd get back, she'd teach him a good lesson, she thought as she gave up knocking on the door and yelling in anger and frustration.
She let herself slide down slowly, with her back against the door, as her tears were wetting her tired pale skin.
She really hated Naruto at that point. But what she hated more was her own cowardness, cause she secretly didnt want to meet with Sasuke again, and probably that would be unavoidable in the battle. She couldnt just fight him after everything they had been through in the mountains. She wasnt two faced, she never had been and she couldnt start betraying people's feelings now. She still doubted about what Sasuke had told her but part of her wanted to believe it was true. And her heart was also motivating her in that way.
When the mission was finally about some hours away from the light village, the guards let her free from the room, as they had been ordered the same amount of hours ago. However she was warned that she wouldnt be allowed out of the building.
Sakura was furious about it. Because besides her non ceasant urge to still run after the mission and join them by all costs, she couldnt imagine herself getting extremely bored in a so vast building where she knew no one and she had nothing to do in it.
She didnt try to protest though. She finally calmed down at the second day and decided she would let the mission do what it had to do without creating any problems herself.
However, when theyd be back, they would all hear a good preaching.
The first days she would wander around the palace by herself, observing the servants as they worked, as she was dragging her long sleeved kimonos on the floor, in a grace that boredom made her want to show.
The servants would pause for some seconds and blink at her, wondering what she was doing there watching them all the time.
Finally, as the days passed, Sakura decided she would start talking to them, to make the time pass and avoid looking like a total dumbass and a creepy stalker, as she had seemed to them the previous days.
So one day, while she was at a big room, with rose curtains and couches scattered stylistically across the room, she went closer to a middle aged woman who was looking absent minded out of the big window, down at the square and the people passing by.
Sakura gave her a shy look and smiled. The woman flinched initially once she noticed her but she returned the smile, relieved by the look on her face.
Everyone in the building already knew her. It was impossible when she was wandering like a damned ghost all day in it. At nights she would close herself to her personal room and not see anyone. They had even made some weird rumors about her, just to feed their boredom. But none of them was true.
''Good morning, miss Haruno.''she said, stepping lightly away from the window.
''Good morning to you, too. And please, call me Sakura. What is your name?''she asked, in her old hyper tone.
The woman seemed sturtled. She never expected that weird looking girl to be actually normal and talkative. She always seemed lost.
''My name is Arianne.''the woman said smiling. The girl seemed far too kind than what she had been used to. They used to be harsh to the slaves on the Light village, so everyone tried to have little talk with their masters. And Sakura was supposed to be her master for as long as she resided there. Orders by the mayor.
''Nice name.''Sakura smiled, lightly.
''So, what were you doing here?Looking at the people, eh?''she said as she turned her glare out of the window, mimicking the former moves of the woman.
The woman nodded smiling, in an awkward mood and removed her glare from Sakura to her feet.
Sakura kept looking outside, but she was aware of the woman's formality.
''Oh please, dont bother being so typical with me. I am not like the masters you have been used to here.''she said softly and slowly.
The woman seemed in disbelief but thought she would be rude if she didnt comply so she started acting more freely than before and threw her glance out of the window as well.
And now here they were, two sad women, looking out of the window, to the freedom they were both deprived at the moment.
''I know how it feels…I mean being obliged to stay in one place the whole time.''Sakura said slowly and unsure of the woman's reaction.
The woman slowly turned and looked at her, with a confused look on her face.
Sakura looked back at her and burst into giggling.
Her staying here away from all battles and everything Sasuke relative, had made her her old cheery self again and she loved it.
''Of course, I havent been forced to spend a lifetime like this, heheh, but still…What I mean is…uh…''Sakura had lost her words, it was the first time she had ran up to such a closed up slave. She wondered what they did to their slaves here to make them like this.
The woman turned and looked at her, chuckling.
''I know what you intend to say, miss Sakura.''she said smiling.
Sakura was grateful the woman had started turning down her cold walls. She needed to come closer to someone so badly at these days, mostly since anyone of the slaves would avoid talking to her, why she didnt know, and with all the anxiety she had about the mission's felt like a volcano ready to erupt. Like a boiling mad old volcano that someone had to relieve before she bursted.
So now she was trying to get her mind off of the Konoha war, by talking to people nearby.
But damn them, those servants were really closed nuts.
''Have you taken breakfast, miss Sakura? Perhaps youd like to go take some orange juice together?''the woman asked, the nature of the slave again preveding in. But Sakura could tell there was something of a familiar friendly tone in her voice too and she wondered who she reminded her off.
''That is a great idea, Arianne. I have actually had nothing, since the time I woke up.''she said giggling softly.
''Then, let we go.'' The woman said cheering up and motioned kindly to Sakura to follow her downstairs to the kitchen.
Sakura followed her down the stairs and into the kitchen, as the other slaves were looking at them weirded out.
That got on her nerves.
She entered the was huge, vast, big, with black and white tiles on the floor, like a chess.
The tables, many and wooden. It had two windows, but not as big as they were in the rest of the house. And many chairs around the tables.
Sakura smiled. That was some sure hell of a cottage, she thought.
Arianna smiled at her and walked over the stalls near the opened it and started getting some oranges out, and then she procceded into smashing them to make them into juice.
Sakura smiled as she didnt remove her eyes from the woman and she walked closer. She took a sit down on chair near the woman and looked at the wooden superficies in front of her.
It seemed like it had been used so many times before. All so various many objects were scattered around on the table, most of the objects that were made to help in the cooking.
She observed them one by one, as she felt the deathly boredom creeping up on her.
Gladly, after a while the woman started talking so they took up chatting about various things and time passed faster.
Finally, when the woman was done smashing the oranges, she spared the fresh juice into two cups and gave one to herself, the other to Sakura, and sat down in a chair opposite from Sakura' thanked her kind of frustated it had taken her so much time, but had the kindness not to be a spoiled brat about it and let it show.
So as the woman started talking again, she took on asking her questions around the light village life. The woman told her that it was a hard life for the poor but a nice one for the rich. She told her she was captive from another village and she had been captured 3 years ago.
So they trrailed off of there to various subjects, from life to how her village had been assaulted and so on. Sakura could sympathize with the woman, hell she had been caught as a slave herself for some time,too. She was lucky though she had a crush in there and he had let her escape last time he saw her. Not every girl was so lucky.
She could feel now that people went through worse things than she had done. It just so happened to her for the one to betray her to be her former crush but she was lucky she had no family to be slagthered. Like the woman's man had been.
Sakura would hear to all the creepy details, gladly she had finisher her juice or she would have thrown up long ago.
The woman had too but she had now a sad expression over her face as she talked about her past painful memories.
In the end, they took talking for other themes, as Sakura felt the climate was too heavy to keep on with such apailing talk and she started slowly and carefully trying to fish her for information on the mission that she was supposed to not follow.
The woman didnt seem to know much, and she figured it was logical since their plans always were held higly secretive. Naruto had said to not trust fully anyone from that place. They were friendly so far but none could be sure on their deep end motives. It seemed as if Naruto had matured from the previous Konoha battle and tragedy cause he had started thinking more strategically, and this had surprised Sakura.
In the end , Sakura got up, slightly tired from the extensive talk, she herself had forced but since she hadnt talked that much in the last few days, now it had seemed capable to cause her a throbbing headache and now she wished the woman hadnt told her all the atrocious details of her village massacre.
She got up slowly and thanked the woman friendly for everything.
She smiled and walked slowly away as the woman followed her out of the kitchen and escorted her to her room, now more open than before.
Sakura talked a bit more with her and then she entered her room to stay alone, saying she felt suddenly tired, which was true.
The woman complied smiling and walked away, back to her chores as Sakura fell on her bed.
She didnt know why but the talk she had made with the woman threatened to cause tears up her eyes, she couldnt help but worry for all of her friends' safety anymore.
And if Sasuke dared to pay a hand upon them, this time, she would go find him herself and kick his ass, no matter how much she loved him.
She loved him? Oh…she just realized what she had thought of and flinched.
A soft defeated smile cracked up on her lips. Yes, she loved him. She would never be able to get over him , sadly. But he didnt need to know. No…he didnt.
The days had passed and Sakura was waiting patiently, but her life seemed to lose its flavor each passing day. She was never used to be so inactive, so passive.
She was always used to a defiant Sakura, one that would never give up, one that would always try and fight for what she believed in, for what she wanted.
And now out of that idiot Naruto, she couldnt.
One of the days that came to follow, the day had a neutral color.
And Sakura had woken up with a bad feeling inside her, not knowing why.
She got out of her bed, chatted with Arianne and all the other servants she had got aquiatances with due to all this time she had to spend closed up in that building out of her will.
She walked to the lounge that was in the second floor of the building, her favourite living room of all that she had found it the building.
It was simple, big and nice. Covered with light green textures and tissues, light blue and green curtains decorating the big fresh windows.
The window was open, the one that pointed to the square. The square was strangely empty today. Only a few people wandered around. And the sky was cloudy but it didnt rain.
She looked up at the sky and sighed then turned her glare to the square.
Naruto had promised he would write her a letter if they had won the battle for Konoha, so that she knew almost asap when this happened.
And as it seemed, from a servant that came to inform her, a letter had arrived for her.
And Sakura couldnt help but jump from her happiness and her tears of joy, but in the same time the intense bad feeling inside her kept confusing and playing with her mind.
The male servant looked at her, sharing her joy and gave her the letter but also informed her that a woman was waiting for her in the entrance.
Sakura gave him a confused look and asked him to tell her to wait a bit more, as the letter she had got from Naruto couldnt wait for nothing in the world right now.
She opened it and read it with hungry wet tearful eyes:
Sakura-chan!!!
If you are getting this letter, then it means that Konoha is ours again!!!!!
Victory to us!!!!
Yes, Sakura-chan, we won!!It was a total defeat to the sound part. Orochimaru sadly managed to get away, but we killed most of the sound bastards and the others, we now hold as captives. Orochimaru wont make it far I believe, as he left badly injuried and we have set people after his path, to track him down.
He isnt as strong, as he wanted to come out of, as it seems!!!
I am happy, Sakura!!!They finally got what they deserved.
Sasuke, I saw him for a minute in the battle, and I shouted his name. He turned to look at me and then he stood there, with something like a smile on his face, weird I know…and then he was gone just as fast, like fog. I couldnt track him down anywhere, but from what I gathered from people that had witnessed the fight, soldiers, they had seen him fighting, but not against our team. He fought against the sound ninjas. Thats right, Sakura. See? I was right to always believe in him. In the last minute, he didnt give up on helped us.
And many say he managed to clear of many of the sound dogs, he was of great help. Too bad that after one day of searching around, we still couldnt spot him anywhere. If he got away, I wont run after him this time. I am sure he will come back on his own, seeing how he helped us win.
Maybe he needs some time to clear his thoughts. I refuse to let myself think he could have got killed. He is way too strong to be killed in such a battle. Especially when I had people tell me they still saw him alive, at the end of the battle.
Seems he fleed after it. All we can do now is wait for him to return. Seeing him fight to our side, filled me up with hopes again that we could become the old team 7 we were, Sakura. I know thats how you must feel too, right now. Doesnt it seem easier to forgive him now? I bet Tsunade will see it that way, too. Even her, she cant be that strict.
Oh Tsunade….Right I forgot to tell you that I got news for you, coming from Amaria, a sound village. The army that the light village gave us, part of it headed there, in order to fight sound ninjas and free Lady Tsunade and any elder that they held captive.
They too succeded. And they joined us half a day later, in the battle, even Lady Tsunade fought for Konoha. You should have seen her, that woman is an heroine.
And well, after one long week that the war lasted, we managed to win. Lady Tsunade wasnt as excited though, I suppose she was just too tired. After that, she got in some caravans together with the other elders, who fought bravely, as well, and since then I havent talked to her. She seemed to have a serious discussion with them. Truth is Konoha is a mess right now, and rebuilding it will take the best of us. I can understand her.
Now, we are heading back all together to the Light Village. Please, forgive me for not letting you come, but I couldnt manage to fight if I was worrying over you, constantly.
I cant wait to see you and hold you in my arms. Victory is ours, victory is ours, Sakura!
Finally!
Yours, Naruto Uzumaki.
Sakura couldnt help but start walking around, screaming in joy, tears running down her eyes.
Konoha was free again!!And it was back theirs. Their little beloved village, with the great history and tradition at Hokages was back up. And the sound side had been ass kicked real hard. Even Sasuke gave up on Orochimaru and gave them his helping hand.
Seems like things couldnt have gone better. She forgot all about her anger at Naruto for having her locked up. It didnt matter anymore, Konoha was free and all of the elders were safe.
It was like a dream come true, one she couldnt even imagine when she was being held as a captive in the dungeons.
It was true, after all, after every rain, there is a rainbow. And their rainbow was this.
The servants turned around to look at the room where her voice was coming from.
They knew now, that Konoha was free and they all exchanged smiles among them.
Sakura ran around the room, kissing the letter that she was holding in her hands, and then almost absent mindingly she let it rest on a small wooden table nearby, as the same servant came again to inform her that the woman waiting for her, was in a rush and asked if she could see Sakura now.
Sakura nodded shyly, almost feeling bad for having left the woman waiting for her so long.
With her joy for their victory, she had forgotten all about her and now she had a guilty expression all over her face.
She told the servant to make the woman come in, but to check her for any dangerous guns or weapons on her , first.
And after this was done and the woman was considered safe, she was granted acess to the lounge Sakura was standing in now, looking out of the window, smiling widely.
The woman closed the door behind her softly and Sakura turned almost abruptly to meet with her gaze.
She froze…She flinched. She blinked. Once, twice, thrice. That woman. Could it be?
But how? When?Who? Was it possible?
''Saya!!!!''she exclaimed out of her lungs as she walked fast towards the woman and fell in her arms.
''You? Here? But how?''she asked feeling her cheeks burning from the surprise.
Saya smiled, but her smile was sad. This kind of halted Sakura and she took a step back, observing the woman quietly now. Saya greeted her back.
''Nice to meet with you again, my dear child. But Sakura, I am here under orders… I wish we could meet under other circumstances too, but I have a last order to fulfil before I run off to go find my village in the wind country.''she said and her eyes lighted up at the mention of her home.
Sakura looked at her not understanding anything.
''You dont have to feel in danger here. I assume you ran away during the battle. You will be under my protection as long as you are here, so dont worry, Saya. But tell me, what orders are you talking about?''Sakura asked out of her breath, feeling the need to reassure the refuge woman that everything was ok.
''I know I can rely onto your good heart, my dear child but believe me after all these years that I am free again, I barely sustain my intense desire to run fast back to all my beloved family and find out in what situation they have themselves right was always my dream since I got caught. So I came onto you, partially to tell you bye before I leave again for my family and home and partially because I have one last order to fulfi for my former master, Sasuke.''she said in one breath, but calmly.
Sakura couldnt help but greet her teeth in what she had just heard.
''Sasuke?''she whispered, her mind making rounds around his name, not being able to think properly at the mention of it.
''What about him?''she asked, her heart beating like crazy.
''Well, the orders were simply to give you this letter. It is from him to you. I am sorry, his last wish was exactly that, nothing more, nothing less as he said and I cant wish to disrespect that.
Sorry my dear child, for being so cold but I have to do this. He was a good man deep down, I believe this. But I have to go run now. If I stay here we will have to explain a lot and I dont have time for this. My life cant wait anymore. I want to see my kids again.''she said and with that, she took out a yellow letter from her pockets and handed it over to Sakura.
Sakura tired hard to absorb all the information the womah had given to her and she slowly, with trembling hands took the letter in her hold.
She was trying to realize what exactly of all that that Saya had said had upset her the most, and her mind worked furiously in her shock to think.
The word ''was'' kept repeating itself in her mind, as finally she manahgd to word it out as a question to Saya. She had used past tense about Sasuke. What did this mean?
''Was?''she asked the woman, the word lingering from her mouth, like a poison that was burning her lips.
Saya understood the mistake she had done and bit her lips in despair.
''I am sorry, Sakura-chan. I can talk no more. Read the letter and you will find out. But I have to rush before your army comes back and find me here. They saw me running away and some of them chased me in the woods. It was a miracle how I made it away from them. So they will still recognize me if they see me here.
And it is about two days this has happened so I need to go now. I am sorry. The God with you.''she said as she wrapped her arms around Sakura protectively and kissed her cheek like an affectionate mother.
Sakura couldnt talk. She had no words. Her mind couldnt run, it was crawling.
She only hugged Saya back in a protest to keep her there but the woman gently pulled away of her and turned back, running down the stairs, as fast as she could for her age.
Sakura ran to the door and saw as the woman slowly dissapeared down the stairs.
It was futile to try and prevent her. She was right, she was a mother, Sakura couldnt doubt how she must have suffered away from her husband and kids all these years. She chose to let her run away, who was she to hold her there after all?
It didnt matter. Life had briefly united them for a little amount of time, for a reason. And now their ways separated again.
''Saya…''was all she could mutter as she stayed silent for some moments, as she heard the steps down the woman did, till she was out of the building.
She rushed back to the room and locked the door behind her. She wanted to stay alone.
To read that important for her letter, without anyone bothering her or interrupting her.
She had enough of a shock for a day. What she needed right now was to settle down and start thinking properly again.
She moved herself close to the window, where she stood before the woman had entered the room, some minutes ago.
The wind was blowing gently on her hair, the sky was less cloudy now.
The curtains were dancing back and forth, caressing her hands in smooth way.
Sakura focused her glare on the square for some minutes, wondering if s Saya would pass from there.
And then there she saw her, walking fast to the east of the city, where the gates stood.
She seemed so determined to make it back home. Inside her, Sakura wished her every luck and breathed in heavily as her figure faded behind the horizon, among the people who had started flooding the square, now.
She took a step back of the window, as the fresh air was a bit too daring against her soft pale skin and she turned her glare to the letter that she was holding in her hands.
She clenched her teeth and slowly ripped the outter parcel, taking the folded paper out, with trembling hands.
She let the ripped part onto the small table nearby, where Naruto's letter rested and she took unfolding the little paper.
Before she took on reading it, she brought it to her nose and took in the scent, trying to find Sasuke's essence in it.
Yes, it sure of smelled as him. Her lips cornered in a way that a sweet little smile could make them to. But it was less than a smile.
Her hands still trembled, her mind still stunned but it slowly started rolling again, giving her the strength needed to run her tired scared glare over the lines.
It might be good, but she couldnt shake that bad feeling out of her.
She slapped herself mentally for being so pathetic and prejudiced and she took on reading, promising she wouldnt let herself pause no matter what she read. She needed to be strong.
And if it was from Sasuke that had helped them so much in the battle, the last thing she could do now was read his letter and do as he told her in it, even if it was a good bye letter or a letter telling her he didnt love her anymore.
What else could that bad feeling be for , either way?she thought.
But sadly , it was a lot more grave than just a hreatbreak.
''Dear Sakura,
For the first time in my life, I seem to not be able to know what to say to you. In these lines here, I am going to try and make you understand, but I wish I could be there to do this while I would hold you in my arms, instead of a cold piece of paper. But life has taught me we cant have everything and as it seems it is the second time on my short life I come to face such a hard lesson.
I apologize for every hurt or bad I have caused to you and our team. I never meant to make you sad, make you cry or make you hate me. I am sorry for all of this. And this goes for the dobe too but I somehow know he never doubted about my good side that only he could see and I suppose I am grateful for this.
I am going to be short about this, because it is hard and I dont think I can keep it up for too long.
I am writing this letter to you, in my death bed. With Saya by my side, as she is waiting for me to finish before she can hand it to you.
I am not in Konoha. I fleed when the battle ended. I am in my private place that only I, and anymore Saya know.
And she is going to keep it a secret as promised so please dont try to find it. It doesnt matter, really.
I am sorry, I couldnt tell you before but I had to keep strong. In some way, I didnt want to make you even sadder than I already had but seeing as now I cant avoid it anymore, and my love for you is bigger than my strength and self control, I felt the need to let you know what happened before I dissapear for always from your life.
I realized I suffered from the same deadly disease that my departed brother, Itachi did. I got it through genes and when I found out it was in a late stage, so there was nothing I could do to help it.
When I came so close, so inevitably close to my end, I felt like I needed you.
My eyes opened finally and I realized what kind of a person I was and that only you could help me change. That only you could give me back some piece of the serenity I always secretly craved for in this tense life.
You were my own personal piece of heaven, my own little moments of peace.
Whenever I saw you, whenever I looked in your eyes, in your soul. I got lost. I forgot everything bad I did, everything bad that happened to me.
There was only you. Whenever I touched you, Sakura, whenever I smelled your hair, I was earning back my life little by little.
I was already gone without you. And I didnt realize it until the day you decided to escape.
That is why I couldnt let you go with nothing. I am sorry for taking advantage of your accident. I didnt mean to lure you in. But I was desperate. I was ill and you were my medicine, my salvation.
You were the only one that could help me save my soul before I moved on to the next life.
And you did, Sakura. You never, never, ever failed me, unlike me. I broke your heart many times but now I wish I could hold you in my arms for an eternity. That not even death could do us apart. I love you. And I will love you even after my death.
Do you believe in God, Sakura?
I come to assume I never did, since I always committed terrible crimes in the name of hatred and revenge. I even killed my own brother, heh.
Well, even so, there was always this little doubt in me that there could be a God.
There could be God when we spent those wonderful moments at the mountain. There could be God, when he sent you my way.
Even though I cant say the same about you…
Well, to be short, I want to result in that…
I am not leaving you again. No, it is not as it seems.
If you believe in God, you must also believe in heaven and hell, right?
Well, seeing as my life was always not a nice one, I suppose Id go to hell right after Id close my eyes for eternity.
Then again, you could only go to heaven, with that pure soul of yours.
So if that was the case, I could never ever meet you again, as I wish so intensely.
I could stand an eternity in hell. But, I could not stand an eternity without you.
And that is why I tried so hard to get closer to you, even despite your own wish.
Because I felt like if you could make me love. If you could help me change, I could become a better person, I could finally admit to myself that I feel sorry for everything bad I caused, for every life I took, even Itachi's. That I could make it to regret for my sins.
And I finally did it. Now as I am laying here, I am feeling finally fine with myself. And I trully feel bad for what I have done.
And you helped me in it. And even though my regret is genuine, I cant help but get some hopes that I might end up in the same place as you, in next life and spend eternity with you by my side.
Sounds stupid and childish. But thats all I could hope for right now.
My breath is fading and my fingers are barely holding my pen anymore. I am afraid I wont be able to write for long more.
I wasted all of my last energy to battle by Naruto's and your team's side so I had to fast withdraw when it was over, to write my last part in this story.
To give my last breath to you, cause you are the only one I could be finding myself to want to share it with right now.
Forgive me for everything.
I shall be awaiting for you in next , do not be sad for me. And please, give Naruto my brotherly love as well. Tell him I could never pay him back for everything that he had done for me. Tell him, I am sorry for the times I hurt him with my selfish reasons.
Now, I want you to live this life and remember me, keep me with you through our memories.
You are strong, I believe in you. You saved me after all. You saved my soul. And for this, I am eternally grateful.
I will always love you.
Forever Yours,
Sasuke Uchiha.
Tears fell on the letter, staining it with her pain.
Her hurt, her pain was unbelievable.
Her mind, now that she wished for more than she ever could, to stop working, it wouldnt obey to her anymore.
It was impossible.
This pain, this hurt, this mightmare. Felt like a gross punch on her stomach.
She opened her lips, trying to whisper something, she didnt even know what she was saying.
Instead, sobs came out, broken, scary, paranoid sobs, as a strong current of wind blew through the window.
She knelt down, unable to sustain her own weight, her heart is so much pain .
She folded her knees, trying to hang on to one curtain, as the wind now blew stronger, like it was sympathizing with the intense, heavy, enormou storm that had sprung up inside her in the notice of his death and she let out a huge scream.
She screamed his name, in pain, in tears, in frustration, along with the sound of her broken heart, she couldnt hear her own scream that came out so abruptly, so roughly, without reason, without barriers, without something to hang on to.
And it danced along with the wind.
''Sasukeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''
She let her hand fall from the curtain, weak.
And this time, the wind danced around, bowing ecstatic in the sight of her enormous emotional pain, as the letter escaped her other hand and got pulled up by the excited wind that carried it out of the room and onto the air, along with the sound of her scream that still lingered around the walls.
The End
