Today's the day of the hokage's funeral. I had use a wheelchair to go. I broke my legs in the battle. It was a mere week ago that it happened. I pull a black long sleeve dress over my bandaged body and slip on black flats. Sasuke sets me in the wheelchair and wheels me out of the door.
All of the medical nin wanted me to stay put but I was asked to sing at his funeral in his will. I don't want to face the photo of him surrounded by candles. I didn't want to see the entire village break down in tears. I never wanted this. I feel numb as I am wheeled up the ramp. "Today we mourn the loss of a leader, father, grandfather, friend, teacher, and fellow ninja. He told me to tell you all to keep the will of fire going strong. He was one of the first people to see me as a person and not a tool. He became my honorary grandfather. But that day I saw more than a hokage. I saw a protector. He did all in his power to keep this village from falling apart. He loved each and everyone of us. He still is. Even though he isn't with us. He will always have a protecting hand over our village," I give a speech. People proceed to place white flowers by his picture. When everyone places the flower I place mine. I did what I am told and sing a song for him.
(Imagine is slower and sung by a female) Miss Missing you
Don't panic, no, not yet.
I know I'm the one you want to forget.
Cue all the love to leave my heart,
It's time for me to fall apart.
Now you're gone, but I'll be okay.
Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flame.
Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight,
Let the fire breathe me back to life.Baby you were my picket fence,
I'll miss missing you, now and then.
Chlorine kissed, summer skin.
I'll miss missing you, now and then.Sometimes before it gets better,
The darkness gets bigger,
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger,
Oh, we're fading fast,
I'll miss missing you, now and then.Making eyes at this husk, around my heart.
I see through you and we're sitting in the dark.
So give me your filth, make it rough.
Let me, let me, trash your love.
I will sing to you everyday, if it will take away the pain.
Oh and I've heard you've got it, got it so bad.
Cause I am the best you'll never have.Baby you were my picket fence,
I'll miss missing you, now and then.
Chlorine kissed, summer skin.
I'll miss missing you, now and then.Sometimes before it gets better,
The darkness gets bigger,
The person that you'd take a bullet for, is behind the trigger,
Oh, we're fading fast,
I'll miss missing you, now and then.(oh oh oh ohhhhh)
Now and thenBaby you were my picket fence
I'll miss missing you, now and then.By the end of the the song, tears steam down my face. I wheel myself off stage so they wouldn't have to see me like this. I teleport back to my apartment. I crawl on to my bed and cry. I've always known that as soon as my friends leave my sight, I fall apart at the seams. I cry for hours. I don't know how I can live like this. Never has someone's death effect me like this. I slip unconscious.
I dream of a daisy field with the Hokage and the leaf ninja in it. They all dance to an unheard tune and smile. How cliche. We all sit down in the grass. But I turn to the right and look at Asuma. "Why did you let him die," his voice pierces my skin. I back away from him. "HUH?! WHY?" he screams. his eye bulge out of his head almost. I get up and run. But when I turn around Oji-sama's bloody body is in front of me. "Why did you let me die?" My sight goes pitch black.
I wake up suddenly. Sweat drips down my forehead. I can't control my breathing and my heart feels like it is shooting off a rifle. I feel someone grab my hand. "Hey, Hey. It's okay," I whip around and try to run away. I get about one step in and fall. I try crawling for the door, terrified. "Hey, It is me Sasuke! I'm not going to hurt you!" he holds my hand. I start to steady my breathing. "Hey. We need to get you back to the hospital. You are in no shape to be on your own," I look down at my wounds reopening. I look down at the ground. "Ok, I'm going to pick you up," he soothes. He picks me up and carries me to the hospital.
He sits down beside me. He holds me for a long time rubbing my back slowly.
Sasuke POV
I set her down on the bed and hold her. She is still shaking. I trace circles on her back as her heart rate slows. "It's okay, I'm here," I whisper in her ear. I look back to see her asleep again. I sit on the side of her bed and sigh.
