A/N: This is a really weird fic. It's the first fic I've actually posted but not the first fic I've written. I don't usually write in this style so it felt very unusual. I hope you like it.

Please read and review.


First We Were Enemies

First we were enemies.

We teased, we mocked, we fought.

We hurt each other in so many ways.

Through glares, names, punches and kicks.

--

Then we became friends.

How we became friends I do not know.

First I hated you and now I know you better than anyone else.

We continued to tease each other but without malice.

We continued to fight each other but without the intention to harm.

--

Then we were best friends.

I depended on you.

I hanged out with you.

I spent all me time with you.

Before we knew it we were best friends.

--

Then we became lovers.

I loved you with all my heart.

I could not stand the girls which swarmed around you.

I could not stand the women who flirted and batted their eyelashes towards you.

I wanted you to smile only for me.

That special smile that rarely graces your face.

--

But now we are enemies again.

I wonder if you ever did truly loved me.

Or if it was just a facade from the start.

We are now fighting again.

With the intention to kill.

We've gone through a whole circle.

Enemies, friends, best friends, lovers and once again enemies.

--

I've knocked you down.

You're staring up at me with those onyx eyes of yours.

Eyes that once held so much emotion it took my breathe away.

But now I think it was probably all in my imagination.

"It's time to die, Sasuke," I say. I am proud my voice does not waver.

"Kill me and get it over with. I have nothing to live for. I have killed Itachi so my goal is complete," he replies.

My chest begins to hurt. What am I to him? Could he not live for me?

"Why did you not come back to Konoha?"

"There was nothing there for me," he states.

"Oh."

I bend down and hold my sword to his throat and say, "I really love you, you know?"

I swear I saw him smile before I killed him.

--

I return to Konoha.

This is the place where the death of the one I love grants me acknowledgement I could not gain throughout my whole life.

I smile and pretend that nothing's wrong.

But everything is.

--

I gain the title of Hokage.

Some whisper I am stronger than all Hokages so far.

Others whisper I surpass all in the land.

But I do not care.

--

I do not care for the title I've earned.

The fame I've received nor the past dreams I have completed.

None of that matters now that he has gone.

Gone by my own hand.

--

But still and smile and laugh and show that nothing is wrong.

No one sees past my mask.

I do not think they want to look that closely.

So I live a full life.

Alone in the world.

My heart braking more and more with each passing day.

--

Then on my death bed I lie staring at my loved ones and I say, "Maybe I will find peace in death."

Sakura whispers, with unshed tears in her eyes, to me, "I hope you do."

I smile my first true smile since his death.

I die.

And that is the end.
