~Fifty Years Later~ (Age: 68)

"Shisui... I never forgot about you," I softly spoke as I placed a bouquet of flowers at his empty tombstone that I created at the same cliff where he took his own life. "Even as I grow older and a bit forgetful, I never once stopped thinking of you."

I solemnly stared at his name that I engraved on it and crouched down as best as I could and ran my fingers over his tombstone.

"I wish you could have been saved..." I regretfully whispered and placed my forehead against the tombstone with the wind ruffling my hair.

"Oh Shisui," I painfully murmured with my eyes growing watery, but I closed my eyes to prevent a tear from escaping. "I wish I could see you again. I wish...I could have saved you."

The warmth of the sun was hitting my back and it enveloped my entire body with a warm fuzzy feeling as Shisui's spirits was nuzzling his head against my back with his arms around me and a smile on his face.

'I hope we can see each other again soon.'

~The Next Day~

My head was laying on something muscular making my head feel uncomfortable. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was on a couch and I could see the layout of the living room that resembled the Uchiha's home.

'Did Sakura redo the place?'

"You finally woke up," said a familiar warm voice that made my eyes widen and roll over on my back where I came face to face with Shisui.

I jolted upright and realized that my head was on his lap just a second ago. But something else that I noticed was my difference in size. I was much smaller now compared to yesterday.

"What... what's going on?" I hesistany asked as I clutched my head in disbelief.

"What do you mean? You crashed out after sparring," answered Shisui.

"What?" I lowered my hands and stared at them before I looked up at him.

'That can't be true! But if it is then...'

"But... how...?" I trailed off as I placed my hands on his cheeks and let my hands roam his face.

"You're starting to scare me a little," he placed his hands on mine and removed them from his face and lowered them to his lap.

My eyes were fixated on his and that's when everything started to settle in and realized that he was here with me right now.

Shisui..." I whispered and I could feel my heart grow heavy with tears prickling my eyes. I rubbed my eyes, but the tears rapidly cascaded down my cheeks and dripped down my chin before I leaned into Shisui's chest and tightly embraced him.
