This is written from Sasuke's point of view.
Disclaimer: I am not Sasuke, nor did I create him or the Naruto series. Sadness, I know. But nothing can be done about that.
At night, I always lie awake, even after a long day of training, and think about you.
I don't understand why you are trying so hard to find and save me. You should know it as well as I do: I can't be saved at this point. And if you get too close to me, Orochimaru will find you and kill you.
But I still hear about all of your crazy attempts to narrow down my location while Orochimaru, Kabuto, and I are traveling to new hideouts. I hear villagers talking about how you are trying to track me down, about how you managed to convince the whole village to continue trying to find me, even when they wanted to give up long before.
But you never give up on me.
Why don't you?
You should. Everyone knows that I'm no good (or at least, now they know for sure that the "Uchiha child" is the evil boy who joined Konoha's number one enemy, making me number three? Two?)
Even after our fight in the Valley of the End you still cared enough for me to search.
Is it gratitude? Are you trying to get even with me for leaving you alive when I could have killed you?
Or perhaps it is pity. You think you can relate to me, but I know you will never be able to. Not unless you had everyone and everything you love taken away from you will you understand the pain I have lived with for most of my life. You will never understand my need for vengeance or my anger.
So if neither of those are the reason, then tell me... why?
We never got along that well as members of Team 7, though we did have the rare times where we could get over our differences and get along. In fact- though I would rather die than admit it out loud- you made some of my sadness leave for a short while. But it was never enough.
But still I wonder, as the candle in this cold, dark room begins to run low and flicker as the wick begins to crumble:
How can it be that you never give up on me?
