Right now, we officially hate ourselves.

We've been hit with another idea, and we couldn't help but write it down.

So, please tell us that you think, okay? We're writing chapter one right now!


Prologue

"You know, I can't believe that already been a year."

"Hn."

"I know, right?"

"It's ended, and yet, it never will."

"Hn."

"You know, Sasuke-kun, it'll be very sad if the last thing you ever said was 'Hn'."

"...Aa."

"I don't think that's any better, Teme."

"Dobe."

"Teme."

"Dobe."

"Teme."

"Do-"

"Guys? Shut up."

"Sorry, Sakura-chan."

"Hn."

"Why did we chose here, again?"

"Naruto didn't we talk about this already?"

"We did, but I forgot."

"Hn, Dobe."

"Sasuke-kun! Anyways, it's because the third training ground is the first place we actually gathered properly as a team."

"Oh, yeah. I wish Kakashi-sensei was here."

...

"It's a pity that it hasn't been fixed yet."

"Of course, there are still plenty of more important things to fix."

"So, do you think it's fate that the spot where Dobe was tied up was undamaged?"

"Don't sound so smug, Sasuke-kun. Don't forget that it was also the place you fed Naruto. I actually think that it has something to do with the kis-"

"Don't say it!"

"Fine."

"I'm feeling strangely satisfied-"

"Because you kissed?"

"Hey!"

"Dobe, ignore her."

"Since when did you side with Naruto?"

"Hn."

"Anyways, I'm feeling strangely satisfied, but there were still a lot of things I wanted to do."

"Since when did you sound so...grown up?"

"Shut up, Teme."

"Dobe."

"Tem-"

"Guys!"

"Right."

"Aa."

"I wish we could redo everything."

"Me too."

"Then we could change everything and fix all the mess."

"And you guys can kiss again."

"Why do you keep bringing it up? It's annoying."

"You're welcome."

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"I'll just pretend I didn't, for the sake of your bones."

"Er...guys? It's sunset."

"Hn."

"It looks so pretty, doesn't it?"

"You've said that line so may times over the last few days that it's lost it's appeal."

"Hey! I'm just saying."

"We know."

"Yeah. I still wish we could restart."

"We know."

"Just listen, okay?"

"Okay."

"And we can fix everything-"

"You said that already."

"Guys! Just listen!"

"Fine."

"We can fix everything, and save everyone. Our friends will be alive. We can save Teme's brother and I can become Hokage and we can all go eat Ichiraku and-"

"You know, at first, you sounded pretty smart, but the last part ruined it."

"...Shut up, Teme. Anyways, Sakura-chan, how's the eye?"

"That's a very weird question to ask now, but it's fine."

"And if we can restart, we could prevent the war. We could have prevented the death of Kakashi-sensei and Hinata-chan and Shikamaru and everyone else."

"I'm sorry, Naruto."

"I-I mean, that's not what I meant!"

"Idiot."

"You aren't helping. Hinata-chan's death wasn't in vain! In a way, she saved us. Plus, she gave you her eye, so she doesn't blame you either!"

"If I had gotten there earlier-"

"You said that for everyone else that died."

"But-"

"Guys! Stop arguing, and stop talking about the war. We can see them soon, right?"

"Yeah."

"Aa."

"I'm glad Tsunade-baachan recovered. If anyone can fix everything, it's her."

"Yeah."

"Maybe I should have eaten. I'm beginning to feel hungry."

"You're always hungry."

"Shut up, Teme. You're ruining the moment."

"What moment?"

"Just shut up, okay?"

"What if I don't want to? Dobe."

"Teme."

"Guys! If you guys don't shut up this instant, I will shatter all the bones in your hands."

"Sorry."

"Hn."

"Right...Are you guys ready?"

"Yeah."

"Hn."

"Sasuke-kun? Say something apart from 'Hn' and 'Aa', and I'll start."

"...Annoying."

"Sasuke-kun..."

"Okay, fine."

"Finally! Just give me a few moments."

"Take as long as you want. We'll soon have all the time we need."

"Since when did you become so poetic?"

"Guys, shut up, and let me concentrate."

"I'm glad I met you guys."

"Hn."

"I'm glad we managed to get back together in the end. We're the only ones in the rookie nine to have...survived...as...a...team."

"Not...Kakashi."

"Shut...up."

"I'll...miss...you...guys."

"Me...too..."

"...Yeah."

"Even after everything, I still wish we could start over."

They were found the next day, lying there, side by side, holding hand and smiles on their faces.

They had died painlessly, through the soft but firm insert of medical chakra that had slowed their brains and hearts until they had stopped all together.

On the right, the boy who had lost so much, to the hands of a brother who had only thought of him. Who had suffered, and yet, had come back, to save those he had deep down, cared for. Who had the eyes of illusions, arrogance, and the skills to back it up.

In the center, the girl who had belonged, but at the same time, had not. Who had realized the truth to everything after it was too late, and had bared the weight of guilt alone, never breaking. Who had hands which could take lives as easily as it could heal.

To the left, the boy who, with his own power, had transformed from the hated monster to one everyone looked up to. Who had never stopped believing, and had fought for everyone, equally and without an ounce of hesitation. Who was the jailer of the very monster he held.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here lies,

Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto

All whom were role models and heroes, and most of all, dear friends.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Of course, fate had always hated team seven more than any other. The spot on the third training ground was fate, but it wasn't for free.

Once could say that fate was cruel, thrusting another job into the arms of those who wanted to escape to the peaceful grasp of death. However, another could say that this was a chance. A chance that everyone, at one point would have wished for. A chance to start over.


Okay, have we said that we hate ourselves?

As we said, chapter 1 is coming soon!

Still, we're sort of curious as to where this story will lead to.

Please read and review!
