This oneshot contains brief coarse language and too many feels for the author to not cry whilst writing.

My bed is nice and warm, no doubt a remainder of the night that my beloved and I had shared prior to this morning. With a content sigh and a small smile, I roll onto my side and reach out a pale arm to lay my hand upon his broad chest. My fingers meet the now chilly, smooth bedsheets instead. Curious, I open my brown eyes and sit up as I bring the bedding to my bare breasts. Not only am I alone in the bed, but I seem to be alone in the cave that Team Taka calls a home. Curious, I toss a lanky leg over the edge of the bed and rise before changing into my attire- a dark blue shirt with a neckline just above my collarbone, a dark purple skirt over my navy blue shirts, and my black boots with an open toe which end just below my knee. Dressing causes me to wince, pain radiating throughout my right leg from the battle we had some days ago as well as my physical exersitions with Jūgo, a user of the Cursed Mark much like Uchiha Sasuke. Despite this discomfort, I do my brown hair up in two small buns towards the back of my head and tie the black sash along my waist before venturing out of the room.

I'm just in time to see Sasuke and Uzumaki Karin dragging in a flailing Jūgo.

"What on Kami-Sama's green Earth-?!" I screech, running over to my darling dearest.

"Lord Orochimaru went down with quite the fight," the redhead female grunts, her arms bleeding.

"What happened to you?" I squint, knocking her careless hands away from Jūgo.

"His fucking arm has all those spikes, so you better be careful," Karin advices.

Ignoring her, I shove the raven haired Uchiha away from him as well. Cradling his head on my lap, I run my fingers through his orange hair and try to soothe him with my voice. When I lean down to press a kiss to his sweaty forehead, Jūgo bellows and darts away- leaving my lips bleeding in the process.

"My love!" I reach out to him, only to be stopped by Suigestu.

"Jessica, he's going to die no matter what we do. He's gone mad from the fear and the pain," the sharp toothed male sighs.

"I am an Inuzuka, do you seriously think that I mind getting scratched to bits?!" I roll my eyes, pushing past him.

Finding him does not take me too long, he's found himself a humble temple and he's running towards the front doors. Memories of our time together flow past my eyes, blinding me with tears as I reach him just in time for him to collapse. Luckily, he falls into my arms and his powers have returned to dormancy. We met when I was young, back when I was always no serious and antisocial- almost as bad as the Uchiha, but at least I had my dog to keep me company. One day, my dog died and that's when things went downhill for me. It was shortly after this that I met Jūgo, having had fled Konohagakure no Seto. He broke through my walls and got to know me... The freakishly annoying me who laughs a lot. Jūgo often told me that he adored my sarcasm and he praised the sound of my voice. Now, he's dying  in my arms just like my ninja dog all those years ago.

"J-Jess....I...ca..."

Blinking back tears, I see my carrot smiling at me like the day that we first kissed.

"D....Did we get him?"

"Yeah, you got him," I nod, my voice cracking.

Shakily, he reaches up and cups my cheek as he runs his thumb in circles against it. Jūgo wipes away my tears, still giving me that tender smile, and sighs.

"At least... my d-death... will me-mean some...thing," he coughs, blood seeping down his bottom lip.

I wipe my nose with my wrist, nodding once more.

"I love you," he whispers.

And then, his eyes become unfocused- cloudy and dull.

Burying my face in his chest, I surrender myself to my emotions and I wail.
