A/N: I know this is quite a short fanfic but I made it! WOO. Because when Naruto Episode 109 had came out, I actually wondered what Sasuke meant by "Thank you" because that was all he said in the Japanese Dubbed version -even if the English Dubbed (I still disliked that version), said it as "Thank you for everything. Hahah!
Oh well, hoped you like it!


"Thank you"

I know what "Thank you" means:
It means to express gratitude, appreciation, or acknowledgment to.

I know what "Thank you" was in many other languages; Salamat, 谢谢, merci, 감사합니다, etc

But all this knowledge didn't necessarily make me feel at ease or helped me in what he meant that night.

I've been searching for the meaning; for what he meant.

"Thank you," I heard him say before I blacked out.

His last words before he left. I wondered what he meant. Questions had wandered over my head ever since but it was mainly; what did he want to thank me for? What do those words mean to him? Why did he have to say "Thank you", why not something else? Why was he being so general and why can't he be more specific? Was it his intention to leave me thinking like this?

I didn't know. I had so many questions that it was only left unanswered.

I don't know. I wished I would find out what he meant.

Since I confessed to him that night, it could mean I was rejected too but, it could also mean he was thankful that I told him straight too.

But I don't know.

"Thank you".

It could also mean that I was acknowledged, wasn't it?

I've been acknowledged, even with my weaknesses, even with the wide forehead I have. Could that be it? But I'm still left uncertain.

As much I tried knowing Sasuke-kun, I still couldn't understand him. But I wished I did.

I really wished I did.

But each night, I didn't really mind if he was away. Even if I felt like crying after replaying the whole episode in my head, I didn't really mind.

"Thank you" seemed like a vaccine to my heart aches. It felt like there was something connected between us. A bond.

So each night, each time I tell myself that no matter how far Sasuke was, we would still be under the same sky.

I stare out of the window at the moon that shines in the darkness. The same moon that witnessed that night, I wonder if Sasuke's alright?

Like the moon...

Sasuke shined, even in the darkness. He didn't have to be the sun to me. One look at him, I would feel so much happier.

I might still cry by the fact that he left, but I wanted to thank him.

I wanted to thank Sasuke.

For being himself –even in the last few minutes before he left;

"You're annoying.."

For teaching me things I didn't know, for being there to save me when I needed it, for trusting us –Me and Naruto, for letting me meet the real you, for being patient with me even for being so useless in the team back then, for accepting me as a comrade, for everything,

Sasuke, thank you.

I just wanted to say that to him, no matter how many questions were running in my head. Despite how cold his eyes are and how far away he was, I hope that one day he'll let me say it.

I hope that one again, my feelings would reach him.

This gratitude I have towards Sasuke, I hope he'd be willing to listen too.
