Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura belong to Masashi Kishimoto


Naruto's P.O.V

I stare at the carpet beneath me with an unknown fascination. That's all I feel like doing ever since... He left. I flinched, the scars of his absence not quite yet healed. I felt tears stinging in the corners of my eyes, threatning to spill over.

"Sasuke..." I spoke out softly, testing my voice. But... Who's voice is this? This... Hoarse, breathy, and yet desprete voice... Who does it belong to? So unfamiliar to me, yet known. A sob racked my body once again as I thought of him.

'No, Naruto,' I thought. 'Don't lose yourself to this... Teme,' I laughed absentmindedly.

"I... I bet you'd call me a Dobe right about now, huh?" I said in no one particular. "Y-You'd s-say... 'Suck it up, Dobe! You moron, I-I'm right here!'" Another sob racked my body. "S-Sasuke... We all miss you. S-Sakura..." I laughed weakly as I thought of the crazy pink-haired female. "Sakura misses you. Even though she doesn't show it... I know she does. We all know..." I trailed off, now whispering and still looking at the ground. "I think it's taken a toll on her the most... She really loved you, ya know that, Teme?"

I clutched my pillow tighter in anger and desperation. "She loved you... She loved you so damn much, Sasuke! And you took it for granted!" I screamed with my hoarse voice. "After you left, she was crushed! She wants you to come back, Sasuke! We miss you!" I tail off again, not screaming anymore. "I miss you..." I wiped another tear from my flushed face. "She loved you, Sasuke..."

"I love you, Sasuke..."

I stared at the ground once more, not bothering to catch the tears that were falling rapidly to the floor.

"... So, so damn much..."

I hug my pillow close to my body and stare at the wall. I whisper quietly to it, as if it could hear me.

"Why are you so hard to forget, Sasuke...?" I let my thoughts roam again. "Why is the person who caused me so much pain... The hardest to forget?"
