Author's Note: After Sasuke killed Orochimaru, he came back to Konoha to to protect Naruto (in this A/U). Then Itachi kidnapped Naruto to extract Kyuubi and Sasuke got there in time to watch them both die.
I don't own Naruto, any of the characters (They are owned by Masashi Kishimoto), or the song "Gomenasai" by T.A.T.U.
Thoughts
Song Lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As he sat there on the cold, wet ground with rain running down his face washing away the tears, he thought about everything he had done and everything he lost. He had nothing left. His light was gone from this world at the hands of his brother.
Why am I crying? I'm a Uchiha...I'm not supposed to cry. I shouldn't be showing weakness, even if I did lose my precious person.
What I thought wasn't mine
In the light
Wasn't one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn't cause I
Wasn't allowed
I should have gotten there faster once I heard of Itachi's location. Then maybe I could have saved you from such a painful death. I'm sorry that I let Itachi try to extract the Kyuubi no Kitsune from your body. I was supposed to protect you, that's why I had come back. I'm sorry that I couldn't even do that. I need you Naruto, now more than ever.
Gomenasai for everything
Gomenasai, I know I let you down
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
I can't believe that when Itachi tried to extract Kyuubi from your body that it killed him. That amount of power must have overloaded him. But now that he is dead and so are you, my life has no purpose. I can't go back to Konoha to live now that you aren't here. It would hurt too much. Everyone would blame me for not being able to protect you. But I will go back long enough to tell Tsunade-hime, Iruka-sensei, and Kakashi-sensei what happened to you and make sure they give you a proper funeral. Then I will go out and wait for the time when we can be together again.
What I thought wasn't all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
I know I hurt you when I left the first time, then again when I subsequently tried to kill you at The Valley of the End. I never wanted to hurt you so much. I needed help, but my pride and my fear kept me from asking you for it. I know you would have given everything you had to help me. You were always there for me, trying to help me no matter what I did to you. Even when I tried to break our bond, you never gave up. Other people tried to get you to quit caring, but you still looked for me even years later.
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help
I stopped myself
Gomenasai for everything
Gomenasai, I know I let you down
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
I'm sorry if I ever made you doubt that I care about you. I made a lot of stupid mistakes, I only wish that I had the chance to make it up to you. Maybe you'll give me the chance the next time we meet. I wish I realized how lucky I was to have someone like you to care about me. I never should have left you alone. One day I will be there for you, like I need you now. I won't ever forget you Naruto.
What I thought was a dream
A mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
When I wanted to tell you
I made a mistake
I walked away
Gomenasai, for everything
Gomenasai, Gomenasai,
Gomenasai,
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now
Gomenasai, I let you down
Gomenasai, Gomenasai,
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
