(A/N: a few day have pasted since the first chapter)


They held a small funeral for Hinata. Neji was holding Tenten as she cried in his arms.

Sakura sat next to Sasuke and cried silently. When Sasuke saw her crying he put his arms

around her and held her close. Shikamaru was patting Ino's back as she cried on his

chest. Naruto sat alone. He didn't want anyone around him.

He stared blankly into space as the preacher said his speech. He was the last to get up

to look at her. She looked like she was sleeping. Her eyes were closed and her hands

were folded. He gently placed his hand on her cold pale one. No one noticed the little

piece of paper he slipped into her casket. A note of his own that matched hers. 'I love you

too! You are my one true love and there will never be another! Love Naruto.'

He watched as they closed the casket and lowered her into the ground. They filled the

hole with dirt and the people slowly drifted away. Naruto stayed by her grave until

Kakashi made him go home.
