His eyes are cold.
They are too cold, too strange. They aren't their usual shade of bright
blue, dancing and laughing like bright flames, not the eyes I knew.
They are too icy, too barren. They're not even their occasional flash of
deep red, full of hate and anger, not the eyes I once feared.
He doesn't know why I did it, he doesn't understand. Or should I say, he
didn't. He never will now.
But I had to do it; he made me too… too vulnerable. Too easily used. Anyone
could have used him against me; -he- could have used our relationshi—our
friendship against me. There was no other way around it; I had to
eliminate him before he could be used as a tool to hurt me, to hurt him
himself. That's what I've repeated over to myself anyway, that this is for
him, his own good and not mine. But secretly, inside myself, I know that
it's all just a lie. This is about me.
It always was.
I have to say, I was surprised. He didn't even fight back, never even try to
get out of the way. He just…just looked at me. He looked at me with those
sad, betrayed eyes, like he was a puppy I had just kicked. I suppose that,
in a way, he was. But he was my puppy; he was mine and no one else's.
Of course, I'm never sarcastic.
God, I don't know how I can even say something like that at a time like
this. I know what he would say if he could hear my thoughts right now. It'd
be something along the lines of 'My god, did the Ice Prince make a joke? I
think I'm gonna have a heart attack!' And then he'd laugh, I'd scowl, and
the world would go on.
As I stare into those faded, empty eyes, so grey and different to the ones I
knew, I wonder to myself, did it have to come to this? Did it have to come
down to a broken body lying on the blood-soaked ground beneath me? I stand
slowly, closing my eyes for a brief moment.
Yes, it did.
At least that's what I want myself to believe.
Hopefully, I'll never have to think of him again. That way I'll be fine.
Hopefully...
Well, I guess that its time for goodbye, forever this time. So… goodbye,
Naruto.
As he turned away to disappear into the night's darkness, he didn't see the
lone tear that slipped from the corner of those cold, grey eyes.
Goodbye, Sasuke…
Don't let yourself fall into too deep, because you never know when you'll
need to drag yourself back out.
Authors Notes: As you can all see, this sucked. Terribly. I have no idea why I posted it, probably just because it gave me something to do, and the fact that I had it beta-ed! Yay! I have a beta, yes! It's true! Lil-riter, possibly the most wonderful person in the world, offered to beta my work for me! I love you! …Best to ignore that everyone….Anyway, please review and I may continue this, it depends on what you people want.
