Name: Sasuke's standing in the Rain

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick

This all started as an picture idea that kind of blossomed into a songfic. I have some cool ideas for other songfics but here's this one.

Also I mixed up the words a little instead of putting she it's he because as we all know Sasuke is a he… and it would look kind of odd if the song said "she never slows down"

Please tell me what you think.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke stood there panting his training was getting more and more intense. But he didn't care. Ignoring his body's crying for him to stop. He keeps going. He has to get better for kill the one who brought this pain onto him.

He never slows down
He doesn't know why

He sat alone in his room memory's flooding into his mind. He tries to block them out but he can't. He hate's to be alone. But he knows he has to. It's the only way he can stay focused on what he must do. It's the only way he get's the determination to keep on doing what he thinks is what he has to do.

But He knows that when He's all alone It feels like it's all coming down

Everyone says he cold, they think he's just making it worse. But he could careless what they say or think. His sensei says that he has a lot, a team, new friends. But it doesn't matter because secretly he's scared that if he started to get close to them he'll lose them too.

He won't turn around
The shadows are long

He can still see them all laying there, dead. Only his brother standing silent as ever. That was the last day he cried, crying is for the weak. And he will never be weak again.

And he fears if he cries that first tear
The tears will not stop raining down

It's his fault there all dead, he wasn't strong enough. He should be dead with them but he was even too weak to die. Silently he stands there while his team laughs, loves, cries… he calls them idiots he acts like they are inferior but the truth is he wishes he was like them. But instead he tells himself that he has to be ready to fight his brother. Is he really just trying to prove to himself that he isn't weak? Or is he really just in a silent eternal struggle with himself?

He won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with himself

What will happen if he meet's his brother? Will he be ready? Will he be able to avenge his family? Will he win or will he fail?

And the fear's whispering If he stands, he'll fall down

Did anyone care? Was there anyone out there who could understand him… the answer is no. This is what he tells himself every time some girl tells him she want's to know him better. Even though he wishes there was someone he could talk to; he keeps telling himself there isn't and there never will be.

he wants to be found

Should he stop this? Should he just be happy with what he has? He want's to be happy was this really the way to gain happiness? Yes he has to kill his pain then his pain will go away. But is his brother really his pain?

The only way out is through everything
he's running from

Sometimes he want's to give up. Forget it all but then all those memories flood back and he knows there isn't any other way.

Wants to give up and lie down

So here he is alone again. He has left everything for his one goal. Was it worth it? Or has he given up the last of the gifts God had given him? Was he stupid? Did he have more then he thought but he just ignored it? Did HE kill the new family that he had been given? Was he just as bad as his brother? Had he lost what he had been looking for all along?


So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

And as I stand here watching the rain fall down I want to tell him no. It's never to late to go back, never. No matter how hard it is we're all waiting for him hoping that he'll come back to us here at Konoha. Because like the rain that washes away the dirt and helps grown new flowers. Love washes away hate and helps grow forgiveness. And like the family he always wanted we love him.

-End
