I've been through hell and back. Or so I say.

It certainly felt like hell. There was this burning in my soul and this pain where my heart used to be. But no matter how much I try, I'm still living, still breathing. I guess I'm still a coward, afraid of everything, afraid of death.

I'm still living now, Sasuke-kun.

I'm not in hell anymore though. I've gotten over that. Now, you aren't even worth my time. You betrayed my village, you hurt my people and my friends. You are a traitor.

You must be wondering if I'm lying about getting over you.

Maybe I am. Maybe in the back of my mind, the back of my heart here is still a small place for you. Maybe. But that doesn't matter anymore. If I am ordered to kill you I will without a second thought.

I'm not here to threaten you. I know I'm not enough to make you scared.

I'm just telling you I've grown. I've become stronger for the people I love, my family. I've become stronger for myself. And most of all I've become stronger for you. I've become stronger for you to see that I can change. That I'm not just fangirl anymore.

And I'm not.

Maybe in that way I'm still pining over you. But really I don't care that much. You threaten every single thing that is precious to me and I will not let you destroy them. Most of all Naruto. He has become stronger than I've ever known. He would be a worthy match for you. But that's beside the point. He's precious to me along with everyone else.

Well, really, all I'm trying to say is, I'm a new person, Sasuke-kun.

I'm a new person.
