I walked past Madara shoving my shoulder into his own. Feeling his hand reach out toward me I sidestepped him and entered Kiba's room. It's time. The boy looked deathly pale and weak. Tears were trailing down his cheeks. I smiled softly at him and held out a single purple rose. Instead of smiling happily he just gave me a bitter smile.
"Thank you." He said sarcastically as I wiped away his tears. "It's my last day. I only had a month left and now just a week thanks to the stupid Lung Cancer." He said softly and laughed cruelly. I let my eyes water as I fell to my knees and looked up at him. "Sakura…" Kiba sighed and held out his arms.
I crawled up to him and curled into his bed. We laid together spooned on the bed facing each other as we intertwined our hands. "I'm going to miss you so much." I whispered and kissed him deeply. He kissed back the best he could under his condition letting me know that he loves me… that he loved me.
"When I die… and your ready… please look up what purple roses mean… I can't believe I just looked it up. The irony kills me." He muttered as he kissed down my face and traced my collar bone. I stared at him with my deep eyes and watched him slowly die. "I love you." Kiba whispered as his hands dropped as slow as syrup.
"I love you too." I said softly back kissing his forehead. Madara stormed into the room but then his eyes widened as he turned into Tobi again. I slowly fell out of Kiba's bed making Tobi run up to me and lifted me up off the ground.
"Saku-chan!" He shouted making Gaara run into the room and rush me into my office. Tobi then laid me down on the couch I glared at them pathetically and reached for my computer. Gaara tried to stop me but I tried to punch him. They both left me alone after that. Looking up what Purple roses mean I then threw the computer across the room and cried curling up into a ball.
Tobi put the comforter over me covering my head. I could hear someone grabbing the computer then Gaara's voice read it aloud. "Purple roses mean love at first sight, or an enchantment; a love that doesn't last but gives off an impression that may stay with the person forever." He read making me curl up tighter.
I could hear people come by to visit but I stayed under the blanket not allowing myself to get up. Eventually Gaara came in and picked me up off the couch and tossed me into his car literally. When he got to my house Haku came out and picked me up bringing me inside. I let Haku move in last night but I still haven't had his cooking again.
Naruto rushed out when he saw me but I said nothing. My best friend just died. What am I supposed to say? "This must be a crappy first day." I spoke up thinking of something I could say remembering that this wasn't part of the job description.
"The cruel doctor told me what happened and I make the best comfort food." Haku smiled and kissed my forehead. I smiled softly then fell asleep. Once I woke up I was lying in bed with the television on asking if I wanted to watch the movie Secondhand Lions. I went ahead and said sure not remembering what it was about.
"Here's some ice cream sandwiches with chocolate kisses on the side." Haku smiled and set them on the counter beside my bed. It was obvious he had home made these just for me by the way the chocolate spelled out my name and the ice cream sandwich was as big as my head.
"Thank you!" I called and continued to watch the movie. It was fun just lying in bed for once and having a good old time with sweets. I wonder why I haven't gotten called in yet to go to work… Suddenly Neji entered with a clipboard in his hand along with Naruto who was trying to stop him from entering.
"Stop it! You know why Sakura's here! Why must you go over her schedule now of all times?!" Naruto cried looking angered by Neji's arrival. I didn't even know they were here. I continued to watch them waiting for them to notice me.
"Sakura would you like to arrange Kiba's funeral now or later?" Neji asked point blank making Naruto stare at me with concern as I processed this. I looked at him curiously with my eyebrows lifted high. I felt like I should cry or something but that also felt wrong.
"Why would I schedule a funeral for someone I don't know?" I asked curiously making everyone stare at me in concern. My eyes widened when I saw the plane that was crashed into the two uncles' shed. Tears filled them as I laughed and cried at the same time. "That's so sad! Someone like those two… it would kill me to know that someone with so much life just suddenly died!"
"Purple roses." Gaara said from behind them. I glanced over at him and then looked around the room but I didn't see any purple roses anywhere. "Does it ring any bells? How about something that doesn't last in which is an enchantment?" I shook my head no then turned back to the movie.
"Can I watch a new movie now? Maybe one about a doctor whose best friend died, her best friend that she knew would die six months prior. The boy whom she loved and he loved too. That sounds good." I said as tears trailed down my cheeks. I lifted my hand and touched the water feeling slightly shocked.
"Why are these tears falling? It makes no sense… why would someone I love so much for so many years just die like that?!" I cried and covered my face with my sheets bowing my head so it laid on my knees.
Kiba's gone… he's really gone.
