I griped on Madara's Susano's sword to stop the blade from hardening its thrust on mine. I then activated my to use my outmost lightning to break his sword. I immediately opened my last and remaining reserves to back up my technique.

my one last mission is to kill this clone so Hashirama and the others wouldn't mind doing their best to defeat the 10 tails and original Madara since the one's controlling this gigantic shit will be gone.

"I'm surprised, really, kid." I heard Madara's voice and then his laugh.

"I... I am Nara Kashina, a shinobi of the leaf. I need to kill you, clone." I said in difficulty. I wiped my blood that dripped down my mouth. I didn't pulled the quarter of his sword since I don't want my blood to escape my system.

Well, I will die immediately when I remove it. My blood will go brrr and Sakura wasn't here to heal me or stop the bleeding.

I didn't wait for him to say more and immediately draw out my Shisui and slashed his head out of his body before casting a Fire Jutsu to burn his clone.

Finally.

10 tails roared due to lack of Madara's control on it. And since the real Madara wouldn't be able to enter our barrier, 10 tails has weakened. It needs Madara's presence but Madara's facing Lord First. While the three idiots and the other forces are currently facing 10 tails.

Hope that Uncle Shikaku and Shikamaru quickly formulate their plans to kills or at least seal this shit.

I was down on my knees now. I just teleported on the ground before this gigantic's tentacles reach me.

I looked at the sky to see how troubled it is. I smiled before puking out my blood again. Because of my sudden teleportation and Madara's clone's disappearance, his sword disappeared on my body. Consequently, my blood flowed from the big hole in my stomach.

I suddenly remembered Portgas D. Ace and Rengoku Kyojuro, I belong to the Donut club now, aren't I?

In just a blink of an eye, Konoha 11 managed to surround me.

I deactivated my Jutsu for them not to get caught.

I am tired. I'll be seeing mom soon. But dad... I hope he'll be okay. He just lose mom and then... me.

A sudden arms wrapped around my waist. I couldn't help but to smile physically. It's Neji.

I want to utter sorry but I'm tired. I... I want to live with him, happy. I want to see him change the Hyuuga Clan. I want to stay beside him but it looks like I can't anymore.

"Anyone! Please! Heal her! Please!!" I heard him begged everyone. It surprises me, actually. I've never imagine my boyfriend to beg this painfully just to save me.

Then I sensed Sakura walked towards us to check my conditions but... she shook her head on Neji. And then Neji tightened his grip on mine to give me a painful hug.

He knew that I wouldn't make it. The stab that Madara gave was incredibly deadly. I wouldn't survive.

"B-baby..." I heard him whisper on me. He caressed my cheeks gently as he wiped my tears away using his thumb. "I love you." Is all he said and I smiled.

I slowly reach his cheeks to give him my warmth and he closes his eyes to feel more. "I-im sorry for leaving you this early." I chuckled hardly to ease our pain.

I could feel everyone's mourning aura and I felt bad. They shouldn't feel bad for me dying.

"I want to marry you, y-you're the daddy o-of all d-daddy." I cracked a joke but he just cried. It pains me, really. To see the love of my life like this. "I-I love y-you so much... and I'm sorry that I'm not able to grow old with you anymore." I cried.

"It's enough. Your presence is enough for me to continue living. You made me feel love, and that's what I'm thankful for. For everyday, waking up with you is the... best feeling I've ever had in my life. I wouldn't ask for more..." His tears dropped on my cheeks. "My only regret was me being a slowpoke. If only I admit my feelings for you sooner than the last time... our time together would have been long." And I chuckled on his sudden confession.

How could I leave him?

"You're the only man I loved like this... Neji." I said in difficulty before puking out my blood.

"I will find you... if you're reborn in this timeline, I will find you. If I died and got reborn, I will find you. Always remember that my love for you wouldn't be lessen, baby. For everyday that I'll live from now on, I will always love you. Even after your death or my death, I will love you." He stated and I nodded.

No words can express how delighted I am. How lucky I am to bagged Neji.

If only I can live for him.

"M-my heart will always be with you... n-no matter how many times I get reborn... I... will return back... t-to y-you, N-neji." My hands on his face slowly fall down as my consciousness fades away. The very last thing I could remember before dying is his lovely smile that he rarely gives to anyone but me.

I've lived a very happy life in this world.

:

Sometimes I wonder, how many more years will I have to wait before I could see her again? It's been 3 years after the Fourth War. I've become the clan head right after Lord Hiashi stepped down. I've successfully changed my clan's beliefs and its rules.

Kakashi-sensei has become our 6th Hokage and Naruto's on his way on becoming one. Konoha 11 has become successful on our own.

I missed you.

I looked at the sky. A day wouldn't pass without me remembering how much I loved her. How much I love her tease, her smile and even her lovely affection towards me.

Kashina, If she's here, she would be proud of us.

Konoha 11 already found their partners like Hinata and Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, Lee and Tenten, Kiba and the Inuzuka girl. While the others are contented being a single.

I didn't dare to find somebody else to replace her because no one could. I made up my mind to grow alone, single. Its because I can't replace her. It's as if my heart knew only her. Only Kashina.

I am happy rather than broken. What she did in the war was heroic. She had helped the force to slay and defeat Madara and the 10 tails.

She gave her life for peace that we've experiencing right now.

I'm proud of her. I'm proud that I've become her boyfriend.

I'm proud of my baby.

If she would have here, she and I are married. Right after the war, I planned to propose to her but well, it isn't our time to be together. Maybe in our next life, destiny would allow us to finally stay together. If she would've here... no, I have no regrets.

I just missed her so bad. And I always wished for her to visit me in my dreams so I could see her smile again. Just once, please let her visit me.

Funny. How much I have fallen for her? It's so deep.

That the great Hyuuga Neji had become like this.

I missed her touch, her lips, her gaze. I missed everything about her.

If God could only let me see her, I will do everything.

But we promised. We promised to meet each other in our next life. We promised to stay and lived together in our next life. I'll live for that promise. No matter how much it'll take for me to die, I'll live.

I can't help but to feel sad sometimes. I sometimes think of mini Kashina's running around the house, pestering me like his/her mother does.

She's pregnant when she died in the war.

She was 8 weeks pregnant, and it's my baby. It's our baby.

But our angel choose to be with her mother and I didn't get a chance to meet our angel. But I always think of them. That's the least I could do for them. I may not be able to touch our baby but I'm glad that I found out that she was pregnant with mine.

She would've become a great mother. I knew how much she love kids and wished to had one before.

I couldn't turn back time. I have no powers to turn back time. If I had, then I would gladly use it to save her and let the both of them live.

Her father and I decided to bury her and her mother's remain in Nara compound so I often visit their compound. Her father and I grew fond with each other, we sometimes thought about the past and he'd tell me about Kashina when she was still a child.

I would laugh.

Same old, same old, baby. She didn't change.

Sometimes I can't help but to breakdown at night. I'm a man but I often had breakdowns but Kashina said it was okay because I'm only human. I sometimes cry or shout my pain out whenever I missed her.

My bed feels lonely without her so I decided to return back the compound and left our apartment. I would breakdown everyday if I didn't leave. Every corner of our apartment reminds me of her. And it pains me to think that she wasn't here anymore.

Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night just to mourn over her death even though years have already passed.

Naruto and Sasuke often visit me to pester- I mean, to check up on me if I was doing fine. They often tells me to be strong as always and live my life to its fullest because that's what Kashina would have wanted for me to do so.

But it hurts so much.

No matter how many times I'd told myself that I have no regrets and I've already moved on, it still hurts.

But I have to live. I can't afford to trash my life away. This life was saved by her mother.

"I love you so much, Kashina." I uttered after I placed tulips on her grave. Then tears running down on my cheeks and I had to cover my mouth to prevent my sobs to be heard. "It's been 3 years and I always miss you so much."

I tried so hard to wipe my tears away but I couldn't. I failed.

I'm so weak whenever I'm in front of her grave.

She's the only weakness I could only tolerate.

"B-baby... how are you up there?" I asked as if she could hear me. "I'm doing fine here. We are actually doing great. How about you, my love? are you proud of me? I've change the Hyuuga. Are you and our child proud of me?"

"Of course, she is." His father suddenly appeared behind me, holding a bouquet of tulips for Kashina and her mother. "She's always proud of you, Neji-kun." He's suppressing his tears but failed.

It must have hard to lose both of your wife and daughter.

He then leaned down to place their bouquets before plopping down in front of their graves.

"They're always proud of us." He sobs before gesturing me to sit down beside him so we could watch them together. "It still hurts, right?" And then he laughed when I nodded. "My daughter is lucky to find someone like you. Her mother and I would celebrate in delight. You know, I didn't tell you this before but Kai and I made a bet before." And that frowned me.

A bet?

"That someday, you and our daughter would end up together." And he smiled genuinely.

I couldn't help but to smile back before shifting my gaze back to Kashina's grave.

She may not be able to live beside me but we promised in our next life... right?
