"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart."
The rain, the rain had long stopped when the figure of the young woman came about in the distance, standing absolutely still in front of the cold hard stone where all the fallen heroes' names were placed.
What a uncertain atmosphere that surrounded the small village of Konoha, no one spoke a word, not one word to the last woman that ever saw him alive; Cho Haruka.
Short strays of hair bounced lightly against her face, brows furrowing in thought, she thought at that very moment her heart stopped.
She didn't know at first, she didn't know he had lost his life in the battle of which he encounters the leader of the Akatsuki. The one to tell her was his beloved friend, Tsunade, the one who shed the most tears out of them all.
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village didn't understand at first, didn't understand why the young woman didn't burst out grieving in loss; all she did was walk away.
No one saw a single tear fall from her eyes, no one did, nor will they ever will. The tears were to be cry only to herself, and no one else.
There was nobody else there, but her. She remain silent, almost memorizing every exact detail of the crave names on the monument.
The news of his death was a shock, even to her when she stood there in the Hokage office motionless, hearing the words of Lady Tsunade speak out about his death, the death of Master Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.
Eyes becoming dull, almost dead-like, she didn't finch, not even for a moment when a sudden urge of emptiness filled her soul.
She stared intensely at the rock, tearlessly, wondering why she bothers to come to see him. But deep down her, she knew the truth.
"Moron." She spoke finally, her voice as soft as the flying birds resurfacing in the air. "You bastard."
Hands clinching tightly at her side, holding the last fond memory of him, her lips parted hesitating to speak the next words. "This.."
Pausing, anger arose from her veins, the heated debate of rather or not she should continue speaking forward to the hollowness of the wind blowing around her.
"This is how you say your last goodbye, in a letter?" She held back every ounce of anger that wanted to be unleashed in that very moment, she knowing very well he won't be able to answer her back as much as she wanted him to.
As the dead silence came through, she was met with nothing as she raises her voice for the first time since his departure. "You selfish son-of-a-bitch. You always were the one to take chances when you knew so well that you didn't have to. Fuck what you felt was right and what was wrong, I don't give a damn about that anymore, I don't. Even when you did your stupid 'research', you were always taking chances, even now, you still do."
Shaking her head, she tosses the paper out in front of the stone. "Didn't I tell you not to get attached to me, now look, I'm talking to myself, standing in front of something that can't answer my questions!"
"And." She stopped from yelling at the quietness of the area, when she locked eyes with the craved name of his. "And now, here I am reading the very note you took your last chance with! The one time I actually read something you write, you go on and dead on me, you lousy pervert!"
"Out of all the times you could of told me how you felt, you tell me now, in a pathetic excuse of a letter that you love me!" She closed her eyes, shielding herself from the world, from him. "That you actually love me.."
"You selfish ignorant piece of shit, how the hell am I suppose to respond to that when you're dead!" The sad echoing calls of the woman recklessly sigh in an emotion she thought she'd never feel; remorse. "The only time you made something worth reading.."
The moment of silence strike her and passed on without a single ounce of trace when her body collapse on the ground, choking on her sobbing cries and sudden realization of her greatest lose; her first and only love.
The gritting of her teeth was shown for the world to see. "You promised to stay by me forever and the one time when you finally confessed your feelings to me, I can't even say them back."
