BloodyCrystal: Number six! Based off of a comment my sister made about a line said by the Third to this character during the Chuunin exams. So yes, this is technically an AU drabble because of an implied pairing/one-sided romance. And I'm sorry about the title; it's honestly not what you think.
Flash
If he were still alive, then everything would be okay. Orochimaru would be no problem and everything would be running smoothly. She longed to see him walk by, laughing, an arm around one of his students, his bright smile flashing across his face and glinting in the sunlight. He would take care of everyone, like he always had, and it would all be okay, nothing to worry about.
She knew she shouldn't think such things, that it helped no one, but he had been so important to her after what Orochimaru had done to her, and now he was dead. It had been so hard not to hate the Kyuubi brat for taking him away, when Konoha needed him now, needed him like they never had before.
All she wanted was to see him one last time with that silly smile on his face, flashing at her in the sunlight.
