She watched the blonde run off into the distance, off to do what she didn't have the bravery to do. To bring Sasuke home. She watched until she could no longer see him anymore before going back to her house. She sat and watched the window, looking for any sign, though she knew it was too soon.

She was worried for Sasuke, about him going to Orichimaru, and what might become of him. She was worried she would lose the boy she loved, and if, if he was still alive if he would be the same person she cared so deeply for. She knew everything he did was because he wanted power, power to defeat his heartless brother Itachi.

Why couldn't he just forget Itachi? Instead of ruining his entire life, to try to kill someone who will probably kill him. If not Itachi then certainly Orichimaru would.

She walked over to the desk, lit only by the moonlight, sighed before picking up a picture. It was of Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi-sensei and her. They all looked so happy when to photo was taken, well Sasuke didn't, but she rarely saw him bless anyone with his smile. She remembered that she had only seen him smile a few times; it always made her heart jump when he smiled, especially when he smiled at her.

She was ready to leave, to go and drag Sasuke back herself. Why should she be here and make Naruto bring back Sasuke alone? But she knew why, she would just get in the way. She had nothing special, no talents, nothing that would help anyone. She was helping by staying out of their way. She slid to the floor, hiding her face in her hands, silent tears streaming down her face.

"Come home." She murmured before lifting her head and resting it on her crossed arms. "Please Sasuke, come home."
