"I got no one that will put roses on my grave.

The ground never seem that far away,

The truth shall be told one day...

I´ll be underground one day.

I got no one that will put roses on my grave… "

The years has passed by just as the always moving wind; passing almost unnoticed. But the two familiar faces have not grown older a bit through the many years. Sasuke and Naruto looks younger than ever as they float through the air toward the graveyard further up ahead. The black haired man has his arms around the blonde´s shoulders as they fly together; He don't want to risk his well being by just holding hands.

It has been over 20 years since their first meeting on the hospital roof and their love has just grown stronger but Sasuke can't feel happiness when his love is feeling down; like now.

Naruto´s blue eyes are saddened as they land on the ground but Sasuke squeezes his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Her gravestone is easy to spot there among all the nearly for fallen ones. The rather large stone is quite new and her name is written in nice letters, just as her birth and death date. "Haruno Sakura; Born; - - - dead; 01-02-2028, let her rest in peace." Tears falls from the heavenly blue eyes as Naruto kneels down to touch his old nurses name.

"…Sakura." He starts sobbing. "..I…I'm so sorry…"

No one has bothered to buy her a flower and her grave looks so empty and cold. Naruto shivers a little as the wind grows colder and stronger. His long piano fingers caress the cold surface of her grave, just as if he touches her directly.

Sasuke stands tall beside Naruto with his hand in his pockets. He had never known the girl well enough to start to care about her; she was just a nuisance in his eyes. But she proved herself worthy of his respect by protecting their secret with her life.

She had found them one day and the bright nurse as she is; she understood everything at once. That her beloved patient wasn't human anymore and that Sasuke was the one who killed all the persons who had gone missing. The pink haired woman was afraid, Sasuke knew, but she won over her fears and protected Naruto in the way only she could.

It happened just some days ago.

Sasuke´s big brother; Itachi, was after them threatening to kill the only precious person that he has. The two siblings fought violently; one to keep Naruto safe whiles the other to kill him. Sasuke don´t know why Itachi wanted Naruto but he has a clue; Itachi and his gang of outlaws seem to be interested in Naruto´s odd and amazingly strong potential as a half blood vampire.

Anyway…Sakura just happened to pass by then and she saw everything. The pinkette decided to help Naruto to flee but they didn't come long. A strong beam of power knocked the nurse down to the ground, and there she was unmoving.

Itachi killed her when she tried to protect Naruto.

Sasuke sighs loudly but bows in front of her grave with some gratitude towards her brave yet foolish action back then. But he can't help but think that it was worth the sacrifice; his Naruto is still alive and breathing.

"Don't show her tears Naruto, that's not what she wants from you." Sasuke speaks in a low yet hear able voice. "She doesn't want to see you unhappy."

"…I….I know!"

Naruto wipes away his tears and gets back up on his feet. His eyes are blurry by wetness but his gaze is strong. A weak forcible smile makes its way to his trembling lips in an attempt to seem happy in front of the woman who saved him.

Sakura did know that vampires don't die that easily but…a hit strong as Itachi´s would probably kill him immediately. Vampires can't die of age or some kind of illness; but they can be killed by other vampires or by simple silver tools. Many myths about vampires are just lies, like the one about garlic.

"Thank you Sakura." He starts turning away. "I'll never forget you."

Sasuke´s world is as black as the night sky. Violence, blood, suffering, deaths and much more. But the harsh way of living have made Naruto understand that they both need each other to stay sane in this uncaring and filthy world. Sasuke is Naruto´s only protection during the cold and lonesome nights; he's the only one that can take away his fear. He's the only one he can trust.

He's the one who offers Naruto his blood when he needs it. The blonde hates to drink that iron tasting liquid but it's necessary for his vampire powers. He can't stay strong without blood. Naruto can't force himself to hunt down a human to feed on and that made everything more difficult. The blonde nearly died because if it. And Sasuke has offered him his blood ever since then.

The feeling you get when you suck the blood of the one you love is both terrifying and wonderful. Feeling the warmth of the man you love as you hurt him… But the pain seems to pleasure him as well. And that drives them even further…

The days Sasuke allows Naruto to drink his blood turns to love making late into the nights.

Sakura died to protect Naruto and his secret. But it'll be Sasuke´s turn in the fight against Itachi and his gang; Akatsuki.

Who will protect Naruto when he's gone?

Will someone put a rose on their graves when they're both dead?

Their destiny is still unwritten, but death is waiting form them. No matter how they look at it.

No one can truly be immortal.

Sasuke looks down at the young man in his arms and smiles. He plants a light kiss on Naruto´s forehead as a vow. They'll be by eachother´s side until the end.
