Faint, But Sweet Scent
Setting: Naruto's House.
Time setting: A month or so after his fight with Sasuke at the Final Valley.
(Naruto POV):
Oh Sasuke, if you only knew… I hold the dark blue piece of fabric in my hand, sliding my thumb smoothly across the scratch metal on the headband as I recall our battle. Sasuke. When I awoke to consciousness after our fight at the Final Valley, I found it next to me. Your headband; scratched right across the Konoha sign, and you was nowhere in sight. During our fight you seemed more distant than usual …obviously. So cold at heart and quite arrogant, you could see the lust in your own eyes to kill me, mercilessly. However, here I am —alive —so I know you must still has some heart left.
It's been about a month since you've esca— ah no, run away from Konoha to approach Orochimaru. Do you really plan to sell your body to Orochimaru merely for power? What are your motives? I wish you'd tell me. Don't you realize that it's no good for you?
"Sasuke, Sasuke you idiot!" I scream aloud, my voice is echoing in my empty home.
Everything's changed since you abandoned us. Team 7 hasn't been the same since then. Sakura's basically crying every day, not as bad as the first couple of days that she found out about you though. She literally cried a riv— make that an ocean; not metaphorically, she was so heartbroken. And Kakashi-sensei, ha, I'd be lying if I said he wasn't worried about you ambushing the city or something…
And as for me, I've lost you — my best friend. How could you possibly sever our friendship like that? You took away the most precious thing to me, Sasuke. I've already cried too much at all our memories and what could happen in the future. There's no more tears left to cry.
Sasuke, when will you come to your senses and come back? We miss you. Still, even if the next time we meet is as enemies, I wish that you're safe wherever you may be right now. Perhaps training with Orochimaru?
Well Sasuke, I'm done mourning about you. Just know that the next time we meet, if so as enemies, I'm ready to fight full on, until I can make you realize that giving up your body to a stupid snake like Orochimaru is not worth it and whatever your motives are shouldn't result in you acting this way. I will break every single bone of yours if that's what it takes to make you realize that your eyes are blinded by lust for power.
Ugh, too many things are making me stressed lately. You leaving is the main one. I should take a nap to forget about my worries.
I get into my bed and place your headband right against my head on the pillow. My nose nuzzles against the blue fabric. It smells a lot like you Sasuke. It's a — faint but sweet scent. I hope you come back to Konoha, Sasuke. Don't you know how much I want you to come back? Whether it sounds selfish of me, it's for your own good.
It's so late at night now. I breathe in your faint scent once again and drift off to sleep.
Night, Sasuke.
