Never

By: Karasu Kyra

Never met you...

Never met you...

I wish I'd never met you...

It'd be simpler if I'd never met you

This silly little adventure'd be through

Not just me, a great many people: Sakura, Kakashi, Iruka...We may even be able to strike a deal with Tsunade-baa-chan, ya' know? You are the last Uchiha with any real ties to Konoha. Having your bloodline as part of our village would do wonders in our way of show. We'd further our status as the strongest village.

Sasuke...there are days, though...that I wish I'd never met you. I wish you hadn't driven me, acknowledged me. I live for you now. You and only you, my friend, my...
