I couldn't sleep that night because of the nightmares and after all I was on duty, guarding the people of my village.
It was truly a beautiful night. I was sitting on the roof looking at the moon softly shining on the mountains far far away. For a minute there it felt peaceful. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Dreaming of lord seventh?!" I heard a giggle. It was Kosuke. My best friend, I would say. I jumped and covered his mouth.
"Ay, Kosuke! You idiot! Be quiet, will you?!"
"So after all you really were dreaming of him!"
"Shut up! Don't be silly..."
"Oh, come on! Everyone knows you're in love with him!" He chuckled. I gave him the glare of death.
"Kosuke!"
"Alright, alright"
"And I wouldn't say that everyone does. You're the only one who knows, idiot!" I turned away and took my seat again. Kosuke set with me and placed his anbu mask next to mine. He was handsome, black haired young man with emerald eyes. I was always proud to be his best friend. We had a connection no one could understand. He was like a family, the only soul who could feel what was going in my mind.
Kosuke looked at me.
"Akari, what's wrong?" I took my time to answer.
"Kosuke..."
"Huh?"
"Why do good people have to suffer? "
"To make others lives happier..."
"Well, I don't want to take another life anymore."
Kosuke probably ran out of words. He just held my hand. We stayed up there all night. I was laying on his lap thinking about Naruto.
6 years ago he tragically lost the love of his life, Hinata Hyuga. They were planning their wedding when Hinata got killed on the mission. Naruto couldn't save her. After that, his life went back to the way it was before - lonely. I could see the pain in his eyes. All these years i was watching him from shadows, wanting to be there for him, wanting to tell him "you're not alone" cuz I always knew what that felt like. I couldn't even realize when i fell in love with him. So i joined the Anbu to protect him. I owed him, the whole village did, so this was the only thing i could do for him, to serve him. After all he was the one who really deserved the chance of happiness.
I slowly fell asleep thinking about him. Kosuke was still there when the sun came up, petting my hair.
