Naruto Uzumaki furiously erased his notes. The empty seat in front of him was starting to tick him off.

'Where the fuck is _______?'

Ah __________. Beautiful, beautiful __________. She wasn't anyone who was really SPECIAL in anyway. She wasn't especially smart or athletic or a leader in anyway.... She simply was a wallflower who floated through the day. Everyone LOVED this wallflower though. Everyone who had a soul that is.

Naruto was apparently the only person besides ________ who had one.

_________'s "closest friends" were abusive bitches who simply bullied _________ because she would take the punches and wouldn't say anything later.

_________ was the most cutest girl Naruto had ever seen. She liked to stay to herself and was pretty much invisible.

Naruto saw her though. Everyday. He saw her not for her cute outside appearance but for her soft interior too.

He then saw ________ stumble into the room, panting heavily.

"I-I-I-"

"It's alright _________. You're here now, please sit."

She sat down and leaned back. She was wearing her usual heavy, oversized jacket at the end of summer, which confused Naruto why no one said anything about it. Why did no one notice that she was scratching her neck every three minutes or so? Why did no one care? Was she really THAT uncared for? Did no one see her but him?!

Naruto grit his teeth to keep from saying anything. He fist tightened an his pencil snapped(loudly) in two. He saw that everyone was looking at him now, he simply smiled and got a new pencil.

_________ looked back an whispered, "Something wrong?"

"No....What about you? What's with the jacket?"

She fell silent and turned away from him, "It's nothing...."

And just then, Naruto saw something he wasn't supposed to see.

It was just for a moment, but as ________ reached up and scratched her neck again, he saw a rash as red as blood. It wasn't like a normal rash. It was a boiling rash. It had disgusting dried pus sticking to the top layer. It was like it was a burn, but burns that bad don't last for years like ________'s did.

~~~~~~

A few days later, the rash had spread to her face. It had reached her chin and _________ could do nothing but hide it with a scarf. She sat out during PE because of her condition. What was wrong with _________?

She was dying.

The doctors said she had until Christmas, and her parents wanted her to spend her last few months with her friends.

Of course, _________ didn't have friends.

~~~~~~

Naruto watched as ________ smiled softly at the girls who tormented her. They were behind the school, away from other eyes, but Naruto saw.
Naruto reached inside his bag and pulled the emergency pocket knife he kept in there. Ya know, for emergencies.

It was three girls. Ino, TenTen, and Sakura. All of them torturing _________. Naruto hid the knife in his pocket and put his arm around _________'s shoulder.

"What are we talking about here girls?"

"Oi, Naruto, do you mind?" Asked Ino.

"Yes."

"Fuck you."

"Fuck you too."

"Look, _________ got the wrong drinks for us, we're simply telling her to get the right ones next time."

"Please, I understand. I promise I'll-"

Naruto was shoved away by Sakura who slapped ________.

"Don't ever talk to me like that again."

Her eyes watered but ________ simply nodded and bowed, "Sorry...."

Naruto, unable to control his anger, wrapped his arm around Sakura's neck and pushed her against the wall. Sakura laughed, "What are you going to do Narutard?"

Naruto pulled the knife from his pocket and stroked the blade on her cheek before slicing off Sakura's left ear.

Before any of them could even scream, Naruto had stabbed them all.

All except _________.

She stood frozen, Naruto put a finger to his lips and said, "Our secret okay?"

She swallowed a dry breath and nodded. Naruto smiled.

"Off to class _________~"

~~~~~~

You~~~

You watched in horror.

["Three girls of Konoha Academy were found brutally stabbed to death. In the autopsy, that is currently ongoing, it is found that the girls had their eyes, ears, and tongues removed AFTER they were killed. The following images may not be suitable for young children."]

The voice of the news reporter spoke while the pictures of the scene flashed on the television. Their bodies were covered in blood, blood from their slices on their arms and face. They're mouth were cut open so Naruto could pull their tongues out easier.

But the worst part was when they came to the last picture.

["Hana, there's no other way than to describe this picture as disturbing. Firstly, whoever wrote this is probably obssessed with this poor girl."]

You covered your mouth. The picture was of the side of the school. It was a message scrawled in blood:

'WHY THE FUCK DOES NO ONE NOTICE HER BUT ME?! SHE'S DYING FOR FUCK'S SAKE! SHE IS TRYING TO LIVE AND BITCHES LIKE THESE DONT DESERVE _________. NO ONE DESERVES __________.'

["Well, the school is trying to find out which girl it is. There are three girls by the same name at the school, but they are suspecting it is ________ Yukimura."]

Your jaw dropped.

["And it says in the message that she is dying?"]

["Ms. Yukimura is suffering from cancer and is the current president of the Recovery Club, helping students who have had self harm problems with their self-esteem and home life."]

["What a brave young girl."]

You felt sad tears slip down your face. Not only were you dying in a literal sense, you were dying from this world.

You curled up on your bed and begged that this horrible disease would go away.

~~~~~~

["________ Yukimura was found dead in her room this morning. She was stabbed 37 times in the chest. On her stomach, her attacker had carved the words 'Try Again.' The school has reported that the only other student named ________ is supposedly in perfect health. Her name is ________ Anderson. An exchange student from Britain. We're interviewing her now."]

You wearily sighed and rubbed your puffy eyes. They were swollen from crying.

You poured yourself a glass of water and stared at the TV while your older classmate was timidly pulling at her skirt.

["_________. How are you feeling?"]

["I....am so scared right now!"]

Tears fell from her eyes and you felt guilt that she had to be so scared.

["Do you think that the murderer will come after you?"]

["No....I'm just scared something will happen to my friends...."]

Two days later, she was found in a dumpster, a note furiously written and pinned on her jacket.

'Are you fucking serious?! _________ ____(l/n)____! YOU'RE ALL FUCKERS! I will fucking kill ALL OF YOU!'

And that was how people started noticing you. You were the girl everyone forgot about. The one no one cared about. All of a sudden, you get all of this support and care.

And then suspicion.

While interviewing people on the street, one man said, "I wouldn't be surprised if she was the murderer herself."

And all of that momentary care and love was lost. You were back to square one, except everyone actually hated you now, not just forgetting about you. Hate mail, cyber bullying, and threatening calls turned normal for you. Then you were called in for a trial.

You had a perfectly good alibi for all of those nights and no one could bring themselves to charge a dying girl with murder.

You didn't see Naruto as much. In class, you knew he was behind you, but if you ever looked at him, he would leave.

You were hospitalized in December. Your rash had covered your legs and you couldn't walk without feeling that burning pain.

You only had three visitors total: your parents and Naruto. Your parents visited when they could, so every three days. Naruto visited everyday.

He would always say "See ya tommorow!" as if you would live another day longer. And you always did.

Christmas passed by, New Years, and finally, on Valentine's Day you knew you were going to pass.
Naruto smiled and said, "No you won't."

"What do you mean?"

"A person doesn't die when they stop breathing, they die when everyone forgets them."

"So when you killed those people....you were insuring that I wouldn't die?"

"Yep~ because now all of Japan knows of the horrible things that you caused ________."

"Wh....What?"

He smirked, "Hey ________. Promise you'll think of only me in the afterlife."

"I didn't cause anything!" You cried.

Naruto's smirk remained, "If you hadn't made the murderer love you, none of this would have happened."

Tears streamed down your face.

"Hey ________, promise you won't forget about me when you reach the afterlife," he said more firmly.

"Why.....? Why did you do all of this?!" You nearly screamed. "I hate you!"

"Ya wanna know why _______~?"

You glared at him as he leaned over you, "Because the more you hate me, the more you'll think of me. And I'll know that you'll remember me, the same as I remember you ________."

Naruto kissed your head and left, "See ya tommorow ________."
