Disclaimamento! I do not own Naruto in any way, form, or justsu. Au and character is all.

Welcome to the Rewrite:Rising Sun

Below me, my home is consumed in flames

or it had been...

I am grateful that I can no longer hear the screams,

they must not be suffering anymore.

How long have I been here?

I sit on the wooden branch

Hmmmmmm...

My neighbors only smile now,

their skin a sickly white even when I bring them into the sun.

I hope they get better soon...

I think of my one and only true love.

He did this.

My heart lurches.

Is this happiness or pain?

I am the only one left...

The dark, sky begins to brighten with hues of pinks and reds and oranges

I reach for its warmth.

It has been cold for too long...

The fiery, warmth explodes over the horizon

I fall into it,

It embraces me.

I smile at last,

Everything is okay now

Then its cold again

... it all disappears

To Be Discontinued... I started this such a long time ago, I can't even remember what I had planned for this. I can't continue this even if I wanted so, I won't.

Extended Ending: Naruto peeks from behind the bush with Sasuke with the other villagers...

Naruto: She didn't take the prank very well...

Sasuke: Dobe.
