Disclaimer: Naruto- I do not own it, no.
Title: Support
Naruto-Sakura
Slowly, day by day, I see it. The light within his soul fades and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I see it, yet I cannot do anything, like always. My feet are concrete, sunk underground.
I wish for his light never to go out, but to ignite brighter and stronger. Mine has already faded and gone, and there is nothing to do about it. So in return, I will save him; I made that promise to myself. Whenever I see him flickering, deep inside, I will run to him; no matter how heavy my feet may seem. I will push myself further past my own limits. I figured that is my role: I am his support.
He may not recognize this as I have myself, but I don't think he needs to. I will work behind the scenes, working steadily to keep his pace. He may question me, he may not like me at times, but a promise is a promise.
As he works harder, he reminds himself of his own goal, and it keeps pushing him further. When at times, he doubts himself, I remind him of his goal, how the two of us were supposed to once share that goal. Our goal is now his purpose. He will live on to see a day of accomplishment and I will be right there smiling along side him. I picture it now; that day will be beautiful.
I noticed my place in the background, but this time I don't mind as much. This time it doesn't hurt to hear it.
He doesn't recognize the reassuring words I provide to him, but he works with what he has and appreciates it none the less. He will thank me and I will accept it and we'll both move on; acknowledging the words but leaving them behind.
This time it will be different, I tell myself with confidence. Next time too. Times are changing.
Are you ready for us Sasuke?
A/N: Just wrote this on the spot, I had a terrible day. For some reason the idea popped out of my mind onto this word document. Review if you want! P.S. this is from Sakura's point of view talking about Naruto and his goal to bring Sasuke home.
