I was travelling on my way to finish my revenge. Though being interrupted wasn't exactly in my plans…
"Where do you think you're going?"
I turned towards the voice, finding something familiar in it that I couldn't place.
On a rock just across the path from me sat a girl with long dark brown hair, bangs hanging in her eyes. She stared me down with beautiful brown eyes. Eyes that I had promised myself that wouldn't affect me.
Mostly because I had thought they were gone.
This person looked exactly how I imagined Rosuto would have if she had lived to fifteen, but that was impossible, she had died nearly three years ago.
"What?" I asked coolly. Where were Karin and Suigetsu? Damn, I really didn't want to deal with this now. "You're going to try to capture me?"
She slid off the rock and walked over to me. She walked differently than I remembered, not confident, but defiantly unafraid, unlike before. Her hips swayed slightly with her more womanly form. I mentally slapped myself. Since when was I a pervert?
Suddenly she was right in front of me, face to face. I could feel her breath on my face, and for the first time in a long time, my mind was uncomfortably blank.
"No, I didn't come to capture you." She answered my originally rhetorical question. She paused searching my face, before locking with my eyes again. "Did you completely forget what I told you?" She whispered.
Of course I remembered, I could recite almost anything she had ever told me from memory. But I didn't know exactly which words she meant, so I remained silent.
She answered for me, "That time on the bridge, it's exactly like that. You're being completely stupid and selfish, throwing away everyone's feelings just for your own selfish whim. A whim that's just to fulfill your feelings on a past experience, something you think will make you feel better when it's something from long ago, that can't be resolved. You can't fix the past. You're leaving everyone, but by staying alive, you're leaving them with the small shred of hope that they can win you back. It's killing them inside. Normally I wouldn't care at all, since it's your own business, but it's affected the people I care about, and that's when it becomes my business. I'm not going to let you keep ruining the lives of people who don't even know you or don't care about you much because they care about the people chasing after you." She hadn't glared once during her lecture, but just kept a firm look. "Grow up Sasuke, or next time, I'm going to so much as push you off that bridge myself."
Before I could respond to the most words she's ever spoken to me at once, she had suddenly turned on her heel and disappeared into the forest surrounding the path.
I didn't realize I was staring at where she had disappeared until Suigetsu came up and waved his hand in front of my face and called in my ear.
