"Why is life so terrrible?" I ask the three graves in front of me.

I came by today to see you
Though I had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you and never let go
Oh it's kept me awake night wonderin'
I lie in the dark, just asking why?
I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time

It was the aniversery of the twins death and the day we buried Kaze. It happend yesterday, the squad he went on patrol with brought him back.

//Flash back//

I guess Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

When he left, we joked around and he told me we'd hang out when he got back the next day. He might even show me his new jutsu he was working on. But that never came to be.

I remember the last time I saw you
Oh you held your head up proud
I laughed inside when I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
You're such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more

He was brought back in a scroll as to not draw attention to the group as the came back from the mission but, I knew something was wrong as soon as I didn't see him at the gates when I came to welcome him back.

'Cause Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it though
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

His smiles is gone now. His comforting voice has faded for the last time. His warm hugs are forever missing.

Yes, Heaven was needing a hero, that's you

He was gone.

The squad was attacked by rouges while patrolling. They fought back and killed them all without injury, that is, everyone but Kaze. He had been stabed and left to bleed out by the enemy as the battle happened around him.

It was to late when they found him, he was already dead. When they came back to the village, none of them could look me in the eye when I asked about Kaze. They all looked away, none of them wanted to be the one to tell me about my brother. But I figured it out once I saw the squad leader holding a scroll that was stained with blood.

//Back to present//

But now, as I look at the three graves in front of me, I feel dead inside. First it was Majikku and Sora, who protected our clan as we fled from the valley. Now it was Kaze, who died defending his new home. I always knew the life of a ninja was dangerous, but I could never prepare myself to loose my brothers.

Wiping the tears away, I look up the sky for a moment before looking back to the graves, "I miss you."

I then stand up and leave the cemetery. Before walking out the gates, I look back at the graves one last time. Majikku's grave, which had a pan flute proped aginst the stone. Sora's grave, which had a minature dragon figurean sitting upon the stone. Kaze's grave, which had a dragon scale leaning aginst the stone.

Each time I visit I bring the things they loved the most so their spirits can take them back to the heavens with them when they come down to visit their visitors. Smiling sadly, I leave the cemetery silently, tears running down my face no matter how much I wipe them away.

As I try to wipe the tears away, I run into someone by accident, "Sorry" I say with my voice cracking.

The person I ran into grabs my shoulders and lifts my head up for me to see Shikamaru looking down at me with worry. Without saying anything, he takes my arm and guides me over to his favorite hill to watch clouds. Staying silent he lays down and watchs the clouds while I sit next to him, hugging my knees. We sat in silence for a while before he spoke. 

"You lost someone." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"My brother, Kaze." I say quietly as I look at the clouds as well.

He hums in acknowledgement, not saying anything else. We sat in silence for a while more watching the clouds before I spoke.

"Thank you for being here." I whisper out, looking anywhere but Shikamaru.

I can hear him sigh, "Troublesome woman, you shouldn't be alone right now."

I smile slightly before silence lapse over us again as we watch the clouds until the sun sets.
