Chapter 7 ~ Konoha:
We crashed into many trees and were scattered across the green ground. Tall trees covered up the sky. My whole body was sore, from both crying and the landing. I had bruses formed almost all over my body even though the ground was soft, it still hurt. I groaned as I sat up. I looked back to see Bird-san had turned back to his original small form. In panic, I bolted to him.
A small red pool was formed around him and I knew he was dead. This is why he didn't fly, wasn't it? And yet he let himself die for the two of us, I'm so ashamed. Those three years we spent taking care of him, all of them were so painfull to look at.
Tears feel down and landed on him and in the pool of blood, half of them were blood as well. That's when I remembered my eye. I closed my left eye everything became dark. So I really can't see out of that eye now.
I looked over to Koku, he was still alive but was covered in bruises himself. He looked at me and his eyes widened. He seemed to notice my eye. His eyes showed guilt but I smiled warmly to him and he looked away. I looked back down at bird san who was now cold.
"Koku, help me barry Bird-san," I said quietly but it came out more as a question. He nodded and went to find a gravestone. I started to dig at the dirt with my raw hands till they went numb.
I sighed, the hole was big enough, thankfully. Koku came back with two stones. The soon to be grave stone and a stone to write Bird-san's name and ect. on. He sat down by me and finished the grave, even the bariel. We sat there for a moment, in complete silnece then he put my head on his shoulder. I almost on cue, started to cry on him. We were all alone now.
"I'm sorry, Umi, if I didn't stop you and Gaara-san from falling-"
I cut him off "It was no one's fault, Koku, just fate, and we're still alived anyway, we should smile!" I said smiling warmly trying to stop the blood and tears which went in vain.
"Umi-"
"Shh, Koku, we should be happy, even if it's just pretend." I said looking at Bird-san's grave. Koku nodded and after a few more minutes we stood up and left. We headed where ever our instencts told us to go.
Aw, my friend is so nice, she made a picture of Ami or two exactly, so since this is the last chapter of them as kids, it won't hurt to show it, I guess, you all know of her eye now so it's not giving anything away.
