Don't own any characters here, obviously. Anyway, enjoy! This is meant to be just a 2-chapter long fic about Saskue's feelings for Sakura and Naruto.
I think that the time has finally come for me, Sasuke Uchiha, to tell you all the truth about me.
I know what people really think about me. I know they think of me as a cold, aloof person with no emotions. I know they think of me as a harsh and merciless arrogant person with no graces. And, of course, I know they think of me as a boy who doesn't understand the meaning of friendship and love.
Yet, I do. Much more than you will ever realize. Friendship. Love. I feel far more of that than I can afford to show.
They have it too good, the rest of the ninja academy, with the exception of Naruto, that little yellow-haired, loud orphan-boy. Much as I hate to say it, I think that Naruto, in a strange way you will never understand, is the only person quite like me. We are both orphans. We both have no-one to love and comfort us. We both don't know the meaning of security and true inner peace. And we have never known what it is like to have a family comforting and loving us in times of darkness. In his own way, Naruto is perhaps one of the only two people who have ever really touched my heart and left an imprint there too deep for me to forget, although he does act like a silly, mindless fool at times who never seems to comprehend the real world.
My past has never been a bright one, and it never will be. When I was but a little, naïve boy, Itachi Uchiha, my brother, my own brother, killed both my dear parents and wiped out the entire Uchiha clan. What really happened that haunting night, I will never truly know. All I remember seeing was coming back home after a long journey, only to find Itachi standing over the corpses of my parents, who had left me forever alone.
My own brother. Brother only in name and reputation now, enemy by heart and mind. No matter how high the cost, no matter the price, I have sworn I will hunt him down and make him pay. No matter what. I have sworn, and I will indeed have vengeance.
It is no longer an unusual occurrence for my fellow ninjas at the academy to ask me why I act thus, solitary and silent and cold like a dark shadow, and why I hate Naruto so. I don't bother to reply. And I never will bother to reply. Some things are best left unsaid and unanswered.
Hate Naruto? Do I? Yes, there are times when I hate him enough to shove him against the wall with all the might in me and scream at him what an idiot he can be, and to wake up. But I don't always hate him, no. Rather, I sometimes like to think of him as a friend. My friend. Deep down in my soul, I know that Naruto is a good person at heart, if somewhat naïve, and as long as I live, I will always carry that little faint, secret friendship with me forevermore.
But Sakura Haruno is a different matter altogether.
Review please, guys!!! Sorry for the crapness of this fic; I'm not too familiar with Naruto, so pardon me for any unintentional mistakes I have made. If there are any, feel free to tell me, and I'll correct them as soon as possible.
Next chappie will reveal more about Sasuke's feelings for Sakura, so please stay tuned and REVIEW!!!
