Fiction
Rain, is gentle. It is calm and blissfully serene. It wawshes off the dirt from everything and turns the world bright. It's light pitter patter makes you want to dance.

Hey, Kakashi-sensei, are you listening, yeah? What are you doing, I wonder. Hmm.. Wait. I don't want to know. Anyway, you can't speak to me, can you? Well, wherever you are, I'll be joining you in a bit, and then we can have all the fun we used to have.
You know, for a man who was late for everything, you sure left us early. I thought you'd always look after us, and you even promised it, remember? But like everytime, you broke this promise too, didn't you? I don't blame you, sensei. But I really was mad at you then. Naruto and I waited for hours, but you just wouldn't show up! Incase you forgot, you owe me a lunch. You promised it! I'm coming there to get it, just you wait!
Oh, and do you remember? On that day it was raining too. Very heavily. Naruto, who had actually come to pick me up from the gates was forced to stay because I wouldn't budge. And when we could make out figures through the heavy rain, our hearts leapt with anticipation. It turned into a dull throb the very next second, because it wasn't you; it was Tsunade returning from inspecting the area. She yelled at us, but we didn't move an inch, so she simply dragged us in, like we were some 5 year-old kids. Honestly!
From that day on, I hated the rain with all my heart. Because from the next day, I couldn't find you with your stupid STUPID book anywhere! You were permanently late for all your appointments and you made me cry, Kakashi! That's right, there's no 'sensei' for you anymore! You ought to be punished!
=================================
Yamato looked around, worried. The damned rain only increased his anxiety. Shinobi couldn't see well in the rain, and their shinobi were missing. Ever since a cerrtain medic was missing, his head wasn't the same. Just thinking of the possibilities made his heart race up to his throat. Kakashi entrusted Sakura to him.
Damn it.
'Kiba!', he called out.
A few moments later, Kibs atop Akamaru arrived, panting, in the rain.
'Sakura's missing', the older one spoke.
'Understood. Hop on!'
Truthfully, Kiba was practically out of fuel. The pain from his wounds and exhaustion were building up. But Sakura was more important. He had promised Naruto....
=================================
700 meters away from Kiba, and the rest, a Konoha nin was lying under an old tree, the only thing that protected her from the much despised rain. There was a large gash on her head which was bleeding pretty badly. Her arms and legs were scratched like the straw doll they use for target practice. Two pairs of her ribs were broken, paired with a punctured lung. She had no chakra and breathing was becoming difficult by the second. She coughed, as blood came splurting out. She laughed dryly - she knew.
Haruno Sakura knew that there were only a few seconds seperating her from Kakshi and ---
===============================
'Naruto, You dork! Just wait till I get there! You were audacious enough to leave all of us behind, weren't you! And more importantly, I'm going to skin you alive for leaving Hinata...
... but, of course, you're already dead, huh?
You know what, Naruto? When Sasuke left us and Team 7 was officially disbanded, I thought the heartache would be the end of me. But thinking about you, Naruto, just thinking about you not with us, not laughing and not spreading your warmth and determination.. God! It was so painful! You weren't like my brother, Naruto. You were my brother.
I know if you could still talk to me, you'd have thrown up your hands in exasperation and said 'Sakura chan, move on already!' or something like that. But Naruto, you should know that I'm not joking when I say that I did try to. A part of me wanted do move on badly, but the other part just wanted to clutch all the memories together and drown with them. It hurt a lot, Naruto.
I never knew I could feel and bear this much pain, Naruto. Thanks for pushing me and strengthening me. I owe you one. I moved on as I promised, Naruto, and now, I'm on the last page of my journey. Life has been short, and yours even shorter, but it's been good, right?
.... Right, nii-chan?
