What I Couldn't Tell Him


I wanted to tell you I'd given up on revenge.

I wanted to tell you that I'd kill Uchiha Itachi for even thinking of stealing you away.

I wanted to come back to you, to tell you I'd killed him, that you were safe, and I could stay with you forever.

And when you came to take my life, tears of hurt in your eyes, I wanted to tell you why.

But I couldn't. If I let you know I'd left for you, you might have been able to stop me.

So I pretended to hate you.

And as your kunai drove deep into my heart, and didn't even try to stop it,

I wanted to tell you;

I love you.


I needed to get the Naruto emoness out of my system, so I thought of an alternate story for why Sasuke left. Comments? No flames please.
