• Prologue
    I’ll be your candle on the water
    A woman with long following red hair runs up to a blonde boy, who is crying.
    “Hey Naruto how are ya.” she asks brightly ruffling his hair. She is trying to make him smile but is falling.
    “Onee-chan…….why do people hate me?” He cries.
    My love for you will always burn
    “Goddamn villagers” Onee-chan thinks
    “Cause they see me and you together and their jealous. Silly Ototo-chan” She lies.” I’ll zutto daisuki. You know that right.”
    I know you're lost and drifting
    He nods his eyes seem far away and still sad. An idea pops into Onee-chan. Kissing the back of his head.
    But the clouds are lifting
    “This will put a smile on his face.”
    “Want to go eat ramen?”
    “Really nee-chan?” Naruto exclaims a smile lighting his face. She nods.
    “You rock Akana!!!!!!!”
    Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn
    “After that let’s train near the river.”
    Naruto’s eyes grew wide as he jumped up and down in happiness. Akana laughed as her little brother dragged her toward the ramen place. Several ramen bowls later Akana and Naruto are at the river stretching.
    A cold and friendless tide has found you
    As they train Naruto tells Akana how some boys in his class beat him up.
    “Didn’t the teacher do anything about it” Akana asks trying to keep her anger out of her voice. But when Naruto shakes his head she explodes into a series of rants.
    “When I get my hands around Iruka’s and Mizuke’s neck they are so ******** mean freaking dead.” Naruto bursts into laughter at his sister accidental slip of the tongue.
    Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
    Naruto gets a little glum as Akana continues to rant as they train.
    I'll paint a ray of hope around you
    Akana smiles and tells him some good pranks she has pulled
    “Once I put ink some tea and it turned the teacher’s teeth black!!!!” she giggles.
    I'll be your candle on the water
    Naruto stared at his sister, his candle in the dark. And Naruto was Akana’s.
    This flame inside of me will grow
    As Akana watched her little brother she glowed with pride. Her stomach gave a lurch as she watched him slip into the water. His blonde head bobs up in the current. She dives into the water her bright purple eyes wide with fear.
    Keep holding on you'll make it
    She grabs onto his usual bright orange jumpsuit, and latches onto a branch.
    “Don’t you dare let go!” she shouts.
    Here's my hand so take it
    She feels his suit slip.
    “Grab onto my hand Ototo-chan, please don’t let go.”
    “I could say the same to you!” he retorts.
    Look for me reaching out to show. As sure as rivers flow
    Akana’s head started to go under the water her grip tightens on his hand.
    “Akana let me go; I’ll probably wash down river you can find me then.” Naruto yells noticing Akana going under.
    I'll never let you go
    “No the water way to fast you’ll drown. I’m so stupid for coming here with you after such a hard rain.” she scolds herself.
    I'll never let you go
    Naruto growls at his sister’s stubbornness.
    “It’ll be all right Ototo chan…..it will be all right.” she whispers her head going under again.
    I'll never let you go...
    Naruto feels Akana’s grip loosen in his hand and on the tree branch.
    “AKANA are you okay. AKANA!!!!” he yells as Akana’s head stays under the water. He realizes with a jolt she’s dead. He howls in pain and saddness. His howls draw the aattention of the villiagers they see Akana in Naruto’s arms and he’s crying.
    “What have you done!!!” they yell at him.
    “S s she d d died s s saving m m me” he stutters as he colapes”
