A/N: This is the only disclaimer I'm doing:

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.

If you have read my latest note, you would know that I am editing all of these, because the program I use on my phone to type most of these doesn't always add the right word. That being said, since I'm acting as my own beta, there are bound to still be some mistakes. I apologize beforehand. Also, the FanFiction spell check on the file manager always underlines my contractions and Japanese words, so that causes problems too.

Dear Teme.

I hate you.

Agh! Why is this so hard? You know, I heard once that the pen is mightier than the sword. I'm not so sure, though. If spoken words couldn't get you to stay, why would some written ones change your mind? Besides, it's so much easier to lie when you're just writing. Ugh. I was going to write this to help me figure out my feelings, not confuse them even more. It would be so much easier to say that I hate you, then just walk away like the rest of us. After all, a true friend wouldn't shove a lightning bolt through your chest. But walking away from you, the only person that understood me, when I know you're killing yourself is even worse. The only thing worse than doing something bad is doing nothing at all. Trust me, I know. All those years the villagers abused me and taunted me was nothing. I knew where they stood, so I could change that. But the ones that simply stood by scared me. They just walked away. I hated them. Oh, Bastard, you simply don't comprehend my hatred for those people. They could have done something, but they didn't. They didn't do anything. I never knew how they felt. How was I going to change someone I couldn't understand?

You, however, are different. We understand each other on levels others can't comprehend. Orochimaru, for all his lifetimes of studying, won't even be able to understand the power of this connection. Despite what you said, I understand what you meant. How it feels to lose a family member. No, I'm not talking about the Third. He was close to me, but more like an old grandparent that you can only see once every year. When you shoved that Chidori through my chest, I knew I had lost you. That pain was the greatest thing I have ever felt.

I can't stand watching you go down on that path, because I know that you are hurting. I can't just stand by and watch! I refuse to. You're my best friend, Bastard. I can't let you get away with this. Besides, if I don't drag you back here, you'll turn into that boring old emo, angst filled teenager you like to pretend you are. I know that nerd with four eyes is a bad influence. Please, don't even get me STARTED on that snake.

I still don't know where I stand. But I'll find you, and next time, you better be prepared to face the consequences of running off and pretending that you don't need anybody.

Also: If you don't need anybody, why do you care so much about your brother, hmm? (He looks like a girl, by the way.)
