Disclaiming thingy: I uh don't own Naruto or it's characters but I own this story and it's OCs. Take them and DIE!

Sieg350: This'll be a short one people. My ideas are dry and uh well -scratches the back of his head- I feel kinda stupid for writing this far and so little people reading it.

Fire...everywhere there was fire. Both from weapons and an actual burning pile of rubble. The Konoha forces were on the verge of being destroyed, they numbered only twenty. Lt sat in the shadows of a ruined building looking at the pistol he was given from Schatten.

----Flash Back----

It was a sunny summer's day and the Marines were just landing at home for some rest and relaxation. Once they had unloaded, reported in, and been dismissed Lt gathered the guys for a little return home party with some of the other troops. The party was great, booze, music, good food, it was simply an amazing time. Exhausted from dancing and having a good time with his friends he snagged his girlfriend to the outside balcony for a little breather, and he was enjoying every moment of that too.

Lt heard the sound barrier door (sound proofed door) slide open he turned to greet whoever was coming out. It was Schatten, or Buddy as he was known back home, and he was holding a little gift wrapped in camo paper. K9 wasn't far behind him with two gifts of his own for his two friends, yet his were a bit different than what Schatten had in store.

"Eh? Who's that for man?" Lt asked jokingly.

"Here man, I remember you bitching about needing a good one so. I'm giving you my old one." He said handing Lt the gift.

Lt took the gift with a nod of his head and as he began to open his girlfriend left his side to go...well...do girl stuff. K9 looked on as he walked through the door as Lt's girlfriend left and shut it behind him, catching a finger in the process. Laughing while trying to finish opening the gift, Lt noticed the shape was that of a pistol holster.

"You're old M1911?" Lt asked dropping the last of the paper.

"You said you needed a pist-"

"HA! HERE'S A PRESENT!" K9 yelled in a drunken stupor.

As K9 flung forward he dropped the two presents over the balcony and down into the busy streets below, almost flying with them if not for his two friends.

-----End-------

The memory brought tears to his eyes, they were gone. Both of them were dead, he failed to protect them all. He even lead them to their deaths, and almost Naruto's too. Naruto, however, was still right beside him trying to comfort his friend in his time of need, and Hinata was next to him it seemed.

The two shinobi were never far apart after Naruto's rampage with the Abrams tank a day ago. Hinata had actually scorned Naruto for the reckless action, telling him that he could have gotten them all killed. Inside the girl was happy that he saved them and came back unharmed, but she was upset that he left without telling anyone.

---Two hours later----

"LT GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" Naruto yelled firing at three enemy soldiers trying to kill his friend.

The wave of enemy soldiers hit them early in the morning, many of the Konoha troops were killed and only Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, and Sakura were left. Lt was trying to run from where he was pinned but as he got within throwing distance of Naruto, a bullet pierced his left shoulder flinging him to the ground hard. The bullet went in and out but the wound stung at his lungs, the blood was warm and the sweat from his body made the pain even worse. Grabbing what little grenades he had left he began chunking them as fast as he could, into the enemy forces. How many he killed he did not know, nor did he care to find out for as soon as he threw the last he jumped up and ran again.

Yet this time a bullet pierced his chest, leaving a hole below his heart. He could feel his energy leaving his body, and he could feel death's clutches pulling him towards the other side. He slumped to his knees looking towards the sky, he could see his loved ones and lover looking down on him. He smiled. He was going to go home to his lover's arms, and he was happy again. So happy tears fell from his eyes and he almost tried to jump for them, he fell onto his back smiling and staring into the sky. Naruto cried out for his friend to get up, tears streaming down his face as Hinata held him back. Sasuke and Sakura helped Hinata grab Naruto and drag him away to a safer area, Lt couldn't hear them anymore. He could barely feel the footsteps around him as the enemy soldiers ran to attack his friends. Smiling still Lt grabbed a little pouch from his back and threw it amongst the enemy soldiers after pulling a small stick out.

"I'm coming my love...." He whispered as a man with a scythe and another with a staff appeared.

Lt pushed a button on the stick and the little pouch exploded two seconds later, blowing away him and quite a few of the enemy solders as well. The men smiled as his spirit stood before them, Lt looked at them with a puzzled look upon his face.

"Well done boy, now witness the results of your sacrifice, Feargos?" The staff wielder said.

"Come out my little friends! It's TIME TO PLAY!" Feargos, the scythe weilder, yelled slamming his weapon into the ground and summoning a massive army of demons.

The Sound Soldiers seemed unafraid at first, but when their weapons could not harm the creatures of darkness and hell, they began to turn and run. Unfortunately for the Konoha survivors, the first few demons attacked them as well. They killed Naruto and the others, and unlike Lt's spirit, they drifted off to heaven to await him. The staff wielder looked at the boy and smiled again.

"Go on, go be with them, we'll revive who we can. Your sacrifices will not have been in vain young one." He said lifting his hand thrusting Lt's spirit into the sky.

---In heaven----

Taking a physical form Lt smiled and began to cry as he was embraced by his lover and friends. He had missed them.

In a not-so-heavenly-like place, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and Sasuke were having a bit of 'fun'. Something told them that they would be going home again, but that...is another story all together. In a world of demons, angels, spirits, magical techniques, and Old Ninja Ways. Thanks for reading. Remember, sometimes even a small sacrifice can save thousands.

Sieg350- Short eh? Well thanks for reading people. Sorry it sucks (if it does to you.) But hey I tried. I think the ending is rather good. Oh and uh if you want to know about Lt's family and what happened to Schatten then uh use your imagination. Nothing homo or anything like that. Review this please and tell me how it was. If it was any good I may start another story after I'm finished with Village Of Knights.
