A/N: New chapter my lovelies! Miss me! Of course you did! Enjoy
Sakura packed her bags in a calm steady pace. It had been exactly one year since Naruto went missing. The other had yet to let go of the belief that he was still out there, but Sakura knew better. She knew Naruto must have killed himself. That he would never live on with Sasuke.
They might have stopped their searching seeing as Sakura had at least convinced them that Naruto didn't want to be found. Which was halfway true. Naruto would never want his friends to find his dead decaying body.
Though they made a vow that every year they would come back to Egypt for two weeks. Stay in the same hotel in the same rooms. On the same days they did once before.
As a memorial of sorts. So that's what they were all doing now. Packing for their trip in the morning. Same plane, same suit cases, same time, same clothes, same everything. Sakura felt as if she stepped back in time.
They didn't really know why they did this. Maybe reliving it would help them cope with letting him go. As if they it they could accept it this time. that losing him wouldn't hurt as much because they know it's coming.
Sakura didn't have time to ponder these thoughts as she looked at the clock. It was late and she had to get up early so they wouldn't miss their flight. Even though they plan to be late anyway.
Next Day on the Plane
The plane ride was uneventful. They spent it talking about Naruto and everything they could remember about him. Trying to think of every little detail. Feeling that if they forgot a single thing. he would really be lost to them forever. Something they wouldn't allow. Once they got there it was late they decided to get some sleep.
Next Morning
They all sat around the table thinking of what to do next. They came here on a whim. They eventually settled on making a memorial ceremony for Naruto. They began planning. The ceremony would happen at the tomb entrance the last place Naruto said he would before he vanished. They wouldn't go in. In fear of waking the beast that rested inside (A/N: A little late for that.)
They would all write speeches they wrote for Naruto. Then they would in the day by making him small shrine a picture, some candles, and flowers. Finally take part in eating his favorite meal. Ramen.
The y would have to go to the market to get all they would need. Proud of their decision they made a quick lists of everything they needed and headed out.
With Naruto
Naruto walked down the market place examining all the trinkets and artifacts around him. Nothing seemed appealing enough for his baby (Who deserved the absolute best. Son of a Pharaoh and all), but he kept looking.
Naruto was dressed in a brown coat that partially covered his face. In order to hide the regal ancient Egyptian clothes underneath. When he and Sasuke moved in the palace it was all the clothes they had.
Naruto come across a stand selling jewelry. He saw two ring on the table. They were silver vine bands with Sasuke and Naruto eye color for flower buds.
Their wedding rings. Naruto gasp at the sight he picked them up immediately asking the old lady selling them how much they cost. Not even counting how much he gave her he snatched them up and ran off. Naruto slowed his pace.
He started at the rings with a smile. He thought he'd never see them again. Naruto was to busy observing his rings he didn't pay attention to where he was going. Only when bumped into someone did he look up.
"Oh I'm sorry!" Naruto said frantically waving his hands only to widen his eyes at who it was. "That's alright! It was my faul..." The person stop short at the sight of Naruto their own eyes widening. Right before him was Neji and behind him were all the people Naruto was trying to avoid. Only one thing went through Naruto's mind at that moment. "Shit."
