Blame it all on me

Accept that what I used to be

Isn't me no-more

What else would I be here for?

Sasuke stood harshly aware of the many glares he was receiving from the villagers of Kanoha. His footsteps were reverberating in his ears for every step he took, and he found himself pondering on his reason for coming back. His whole life had resulted in him fleeing from this place, so why now was he assuaging some false hope of leniency? His eyes gathered in his mind all the censorious faces.

And in the dark of night you'll find

That the only thing that passed was time

And we can move on from this day

And leave our past behind

He found himself holding his breath, and after a moment his whole body stopped moving. Who was he trying to fool? He didn't belong here. He belonged alone, like in all those days of excessive training, and introverted lessons. He remembered the first step he had taken away from his life in Kanoha, the one that had left a pink haired kunoichi lying on a cold stone bench. He had nightmares about that night, about what he had left, and about what he could have had since that day. Sometimes he found it oddly scary to dream a contented dream and then wake to have it ripped away.

Believe that shame is just a game,

And make it fade away.

Believe that we can become free,

And we'll shed light to this dismal day

He turned, ostentatious on the fact that he should have never stepped foot in his birth place. He took one step, but his mind was blinded through the covering of years long conceded. He couldn't blame her for hating him, he couldn't hate the fact that she was in his dreams every night, and he couldn't change what was meant to be. Maybe that's why she had appeared, her chest heaving, and her hands on her knees.

So I stand in the crowd,

Not turning around,

'Cause I see what I need,

And that's you next to me!

"Sasuke you conceited jerk! Don't you dare leave now!" She tried to catch her breath, and he could feel her mind was utterly perplexed. He could sense her anger, and her heart pounding as she looked at him, her eyes hazed with dishonesty and fear. "Don't you dare run away from this! Don't… you dare!" She stood up straight, and he could see the difference in her height and stature. She stepped forward, the crowd of people around him watching closely as she stepped in front of him. "Don't make yourself a coward!"

And in the dark of night you'll find

That the only thing that passed was time

And we can move on from this day

And leave our past behind

He looked at her in curiosity, affirming the fact that she had become much more violent in the passing years. He smirked, and cocked a brow. "Me? A coward? Somehow I think you've got a lot to learn." He turned back around, taking another step towards the Godaime's office, ready and willing to admit his obstinacy. He ignored her disgruntled mumbling as he walked onward, leaving her in anger at the foot of the Hokage tower.

Blame it all on me,

Go ahead I'm on my knees,

And as far as I can see,

You're just as hurt as me!

He didn't see the village again till nightfall, when Tsunade had finally let him go, with firm conditions nevertheless. He sighed as he sat on the step, not once looking to the pink haired girl sitting placidly next to him. "You try to run and I swear I'll kill you." She whispered, her eyes closed as she slid a little closer to him.

"For that I am sure." He laughed, putting his arm around her shoulder. "But until then why don't you just shut-up, you're so vexing." She growled, and he got a hard slap in the face, but it has been worth it.

"Naruto will be back tomorrow, you should be there to greet him." Was all she said before she stood and walked off.

And in the dark of night you'll find

That the only thing that passed was time

And we can move on from this day

And leave our past behind

Further as I go ahead,

I'll make sure you get all I've said.

And now that I have held you close,

You'll find that I have missed the most

So relax and just unwind.

And in the dark of night you'll find

That the only thing that passed was time

And we can move on from this day

And leave our past behind

Sasuke woke in the middle of the night, just like he used to, and he smiled at the tightening hold around his waist. "I suppose my past wasn't so unpleasant." He held her close, and for once he realized just how much he loved her pastel pink hair.
