"We miss you."

I don't care.

"I can't believe you did this."

Neither can I.

"Stop this. Come back to Konoha."

I can't.

"I miss you."

Stop.

"I miss you."

Shut up.

"It'll be okay. They'll forgive you."

Shut up. Shut up. You're annoying as hell. I hate you.

Sasuke needed to move, to get away as far as he could, but his legs felt sluggish. Blood dripped from the gashes across his torso. He felt a couple ribs slide brokenly as he walked.

"Sasuke." He heard Naruto call out. Sakura was trailing close behind him.

"Stop chasing after me!" He growled back. "I told you to leave me alone."

"No." Sakura said flatly. "You'll just screw things up more for yourself and everyone else."

"I don't care." He replied. He stepped back, losing his footing and feeling his head spin as he fell to the ground.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Naruto was caught up with him now and being his usual loud self.

A metallic taste filled his mouth. Sasuke tried to stand again, but the ground was cool and calming and he couldn't seem to figure out how he ever managed to stand before.

He faintly heard his name being called before his vision faded out to blackness.

"Sasuke."

"Sasuke."

"He'll be okay."

I can't do this anymore.

I want to go home.

Just, please, take me back.
