As the pinkette let out one last cry of pain, she knew it was all over.

Sakura knew that her life on earth has come to an end.

The moment Itachi and the other Akatsuki saw her lifeless body hit the ground with blood endlessly pouring out of her, their world fell apart.

Every single shinobi in the battle field bowed their heads to show respect for their fallen comrad. Even Naruto Uzumaki and the other members of Konoha 12 became silent. Letting their forgotten tears fall down their now pale faces.

As for Sasuke, well..

He walked away with a heavy heart.

Seeing his old teammate in such a devastating situation made him uneasy. Not only because he was the one who killed her, but because of the regret he was feeling at the moment, knowing the fact that he never got a chance to show her what he truly feels.

They were all blinded.

Used.

Played by theirselves.

And as if the heavens understood the situation, the rain poured down, showering all of God's creations, both living and dead, as emotions filled the atmosphere.

She died that day, June 6th.

But Sakura Haruno, will always remain in their hearts.

The girl who learned to fight back and be who she was. The girl, who woke up to reality, and made a change in her life..

Itachi's POV

I took in a deep breathe to calm my nerves as I heard a soft knock on my room's door.

Standing up, I slowly opened it only to find Konan with a fake smile plastered on her face. "Itachi.. It's time." But instead of answering, I only gave her a nod in return and stepped out to follow her.

It has been two months since Sakura's death.

And as we all decided, me and the rest of the Akatsuki, will continue on living in this world. Yes, we accept this new life given to us by the pinkette. I bitterly smiled when I recalled those memories.

At first, I wanted her to get her revenge as soon as possible so that I could see my family again in the afterlife. But much to my surprise, I fell in love with the little things on earth that I forgot to appreciate in my past life, my miserable life before I died and Sakura reincarnated us.

I fell in love with the concept of having another shot at living.

I sighed and scanned my new surroundings.

Pein, Hidan, Kisame, Deidara, Kakuzu, Zetsu, Tobi and Konan were already gathered around, waiting for me to stand next to them.

Walking my way towards them, the memories Sakura Haruno left me, flashed back..

Hn.

She really is, one of a kind.

I then set my obsidian eyes at the thombstone in front of me. Making me smile, a genuine one. One that I haven't shown for months.

R. I. P.

Haruno Sakura

A kick-ass ninja and the queen of bitches.

I almost laughed as I read what was written on the stone. Sakura, wherever you are now..

Rest in peace.

And for the last time, I hope you're happy.

For you are an angel sent down from heaven to give us, Akatsuki, another chance at living. You are the angel who gave us hope and awaken us to the simple beauties of the world..

You are an angel.

Yet you still got broken.
