Far Away

Kohaku walked around the grass gripping her jacket shut as the strong wind blew her jet black and slightly hot pink hair across her face and then it flew around her head.



This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait



She stumbled over her own feet blinded be the foggy tears welling up in her eyes. “Why? Why did you just….stop? You should've held on!” She yelled into the air as if she were talking to someone. “If you just kept that….that….that one…..breath! You probably could've made it!” She kept yelling, squinting her eyes and scrunching up her nose as she tried holding back her tears.



Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know



“I—I just…”she trailed off as her eyes fell to the ground. Then she stumbled upon the grayish-black stone with the names all over it. She scanned over the large stone looking at all the names of the previous Shinobi that had died sacred heroes. “But…I never got to tell you….before you…..”



I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore



The wind swirled around her as she gripped her jacket tighter and wiped the tears out of her eyes before they fell down her face. She backed away from the stone slowly. Then, she suddenly fell to her knees as a loud sob escaped her throat and her hair fell over her face. “Nooo!!!!!” She yelled sobbing loudly, but not letting her tears run down her face.



Flashback



“Hey, big brother?” The small hot pink-headed girl asked her brother looking up at him. “Hunh? What is it Kohaku?” He asked looking at his younger sister as she stared up at him with her big black eyes. “I'm not gonna give up!” She said looking at him smiling. “Hunh?” He was confused. “Give up what?” “I'm not gonna give up trying to be good. Cause I wanna be just like you, big brother!” She smiled up at him with her big toothy grin. “Well, he said, that's one person!” He laughed and held his sisters hand tightly. “Don't worry Kohaku…I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.”



End Flashback



“Why!!! Why, why, why!!!” She continued to ask her self that question. She asked herself that all the time. She acted like it didn't bother her…but it bothered her more than anyone knew…



On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know



She knew it would stick with her all her life. The pain, the misery, the sorrow…the angst. She never knew that something that horrible would bother her so much….she never even thought it was possible to happen to her…to him. “I should've told you. But now you're gone. And there's nothing I can do about it….I can't bring you back no matter how much I wish it. I…just can't”



I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore



She got up and tried to steady herself but her legs seemed so uncontrollable. Like they had minds of their own. Her legs forced her to walk in the other direction. Forcing to walk away from the stone of names. She wanted to leave, get away from the horrible thoughts that filled her mind. But yet, she wanted to stay, to keep the memories of the wonderful times they'd had together.



I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I have loved you all along



She didn't quite realize where her legs were taking her until she saw it…the sign she saw nearly everyday coming home from work. The sign that read KONOHA CEMETARY. She had gone in there many times to see it, to see him. She often spoke to him. Tough she couldn't hear him; she knew he had heard her plenty of times before. Then, she stopped.



And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you any more
Believe it



She looked down. Then she fell to her knees as loud sobs kept coming out. No matter how hard she fought she couldn't hold them back. She tried with all her might but her emotions were strong than her. All of the sudden tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at the gravestone in front of her face as it read: A LOVING FATHER AND BROTHER. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. MAY YOU BE WITH YOUR PARENTS AND OTHER LOST LOVED ONES, WE LOVE YOU, OUR SWEET IRUKA…..



Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing, 'cause I'm not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go



“I needed to tell you….I love you Iruka!!!!! I miss you!!!!”
