I blinked my eyes open then sat up. What just happened? I gasped. Haku! He knocked me after he told me not to fight today. What did he mean? I jumped to my feet then ran towards the bridge. As I ran towards the bridge, I saw a misty fog ahead.
I continued to run as I saw Sasuke in view. He and Naruto were surrounded by mirrors. They're going to get hurt! "Sasuke! Naruto!" I called to them. Senbon needles were thrown at them. Without thinking, I jumped in front of my teammates and let the needles hit me.
Naruto's POV
I shut my eyes as the needles went to hit me and Sasuke. I opened when I didn't feel anything. How come? I gasped when I saw Miu in front of us with needles sticking out of her body. Her eyes gazed at us as she stood there, her knees shaking slightly.
"Miu-chan," I whispered. She looked at me then fell forward. My eyes widened and I quickly caught her. Miu winced then looked at me. "Why, Miu-chan? Why?" I asked her. "We.. We all have to die... sometime, right?" she said.
She sighed softly then looked at me. "Naruto, do you think... you could do something... for me, please?" she asked me. I nodded my head. Her hand slowly rose up a book. It was the journal she always kept with her.
"Hold onto this.. for me please. I have no use for it... anymore." she said. Miu began to cry softly. "It's not fair. All I wanted... was to be loved. I just wanted to be held. I guess.. that was too much to ask then, right?" she said. She sniffed.
"Miu-chan," I whispered. "Naruto, thank you for always being there for me. Thank you... for always giving me the courage to smile through.. my pain. Thank you.. for everything you've done for me." Miu whispered. She weakly leaned up to me and gently kissed my forehead.
"They say heaven's a nice place, right? Then I guess.. it's time fro me to see it for myself." Miu said. Her eyes struggled to stay open. Miu tilted her head back, dying in my arms. "Miu-chan?" I said, slightly shaking her. "Miu-chan! Wake up! You can't do this! You can't die here!" I said as I shook her.
She didn't open her eyes. "Please.. don't leave me. I don't want to be alone again. You were my first friend. Don't leave me." I whispered as I held her lifeless body."Naruto," I looked at Sasuke. His eyes went from me to Miu's body. "Is Miu.. dead?" he asked.
I didn't answer as my tears lightly hit Miu's face. My best friend is dead. She risked her life to save me. I looked at her journal as it was still in her hand. "You always kept this close to you. Yet, you never told me what you needed it for." I said as I stared down at Miu's face.
"Miu," The Mist Ninja stared at me and Miu's body. "This is why I didn't want her to fight. I knew something like this would happen." he said softly. "Then why did you kill her! If you cared about her so much, then why did you kill her!" I shouted at him. My anger boiled up inside me.
"You'll pay... YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER!!" I shouted.
Sasuke's POV
Naruto started attacking Haku without mercy. I stared down at Miu as she laid there on the ground, unmoving. "Miu." I whispered. I fell to my knees then picked her up, cradling her in my lap. "Miu... why did you do it? Why didn't you just let me..." I trailed off as I fought back tears.
I held her close to me as I gritted my teeth. You weren't suppose to die, Miu. It's not fair. I've seen what the kids do to you at the academy. You didn't do anything about it. You just kept letting it happen. Yet, you refused to tell anyone.
I remember how you were always alone. You never cried out for help when you were in trouble. You always stayed quiet. Why? Miu, please wake up.

Miu's POV
The last thing I remember was crying and seeing Naruto's face. Everything else went black. I felt something wet fall on my nose. Was it raining? I squinted my eyes open, seeing Sasuke's face. He's... crying? How come?
I realized it was getting a little hard to breathe. "S.. Sasuke... I can't.. breathe." I managed to say. Sasuke looked at me then gasped a little. "Miu?" he said. "You're hurting me." I said quietly. He hugged me tightly. "Ow.. Sasuke, could you let go. That hurts." I said, wincing a little.
He let go of me and helped me sit up. "Where are we? What happened?" I asked. "You risked your life to save me and Naruto." he explained. "Nar... to..." I repeated slowly. That's right. I remember now. I threw myself in front of the needles.
Haku! I got out of Sasuke's hold and ran over to where Kakashi was. I saw Haku and Zabuza lying on the ground. "Haku! Haku!" I said as I dropped by his side. "It's too late, kid. He's already gone." Zabuza said. I looked at him sadly.
"I never got your name." he said softly. "I am... Miu Shimizu." I answered. "Shimizu, huh? I thought so. You're pink hair and pink eyes says it all." he said as he lightly ruffled my hair. I sniffed and looked at Haku. "Haku didn't want me to fight." I informed.
"I know. He told me. I think he liked you if you ask me." Zabuza said with a soft chuckle. But he ended up coughing a little. "I wish I could go where Haku's going right now." he said before closing his eyes. I began to sob softly as my body shook with sadness.
"Miu, it's okay. They're in a better place now." Kakashi said. I sniffed again then stood up. "Haku is going where I was going to go. To be honest, I wish I could've have gone there too." I said. I stared at Haku's lifeless body. He looked peaceful; as if he was sleeping.
We buried Haku and Zabuza's body with the Demon Sword behind Zabuza's grave. 'Rest in peace, Zabuza. Haku.' I prayed. I walked back over to my team. "Miu-chan," Naruto said. I looked at him and he handed me my journal. I stared down at it.
"Something tells me you're going to need this." Naruto said, smiling. I smiled softly before taking the book in my hands. "Yeah." I agreed. He grinned at me, causing me to smile back slightly. We went home while Sakura insulted me. I blocked her out as I wrote a few things in my journal.
When we got back to the Leaf Village, I headed to my house. I saw some kids from the academy run away from my house. I raised a brow. Why were they running from my house? I went to open my front door until...
BOOM!
I flew back and slid across the ground. My body ached from the impact. I weakly lifted my head and my widened in terror. My house... was on fire! Everything I owned was gone now. The orange flames danced as it destroyed everything. "No..." I whispered.
Lord Hokage's gift to me! I can't let that burn! I sprung to my feet and ran inside my burning house. I dodged small fires and debris as I ran to my room. I coughed as smoke got in my lungs. My right arm got burned as I made my way to my room.
I potted the rabbit sitting on my bed, which was in flames! I quickly grabbed the stuffed rabbit and began to run out of my house. Almost to the door, a huge piece of wood blocked my only exit. "No, no, no!" I said as I tried to push the wood away.
I coughed and pressed my hand firmly over my mouth. I fell to my knees. Too much smoke was in my lungs. I can't breathe. I fell face first onto the floor. Am I going to die here? Flames surrounded me as I thought about giving up.
I looked up slightly and spotted a window. My way out! I weakly stood to my feet with the rabbit in my hands and made my way to the window. I banged on in it with one fist. Nothing worked. I took a few steps back, ran forward, then crashed through the window.
I heard an explosion behind me. My house just exploded. I lied on the ground, too exhausted to move. My eyes struggled to stay open. "What happened? Get an medic, quickly!" I saw an ANBU Black Op with a bird mask standing over me.
"Hey, kid! Hey, can you hear me? Hey!" the ANBU said. My vision was fading quickly. I saw Lord Hokage's present to me lying a few inches from me. I weakly reached for it. "Lord Hokage..." I whispered before fading into darkness.
