~All I Could Do~

'' Sasuke…. I love you….''

I reserved this sentence in my heart, hoping I could tell it to you someday. But when I saw you leaving, I couldn't help but say it. Pathetically begging you to stay by my side. But you ignored my desperate pleas and continue to leave. Then you stopped just before you stepped out of Konohagakure no Sato and said,

'' I never liked you. 'Cause You're pathetic….''

My heart shattered into pieces as it soon dawned to me that the time I spent with you, were all a lie. I never thought I'd ever hear you say this. I've heard you call me stupid and annoying a thousand times but my faith in you never wavered. It never did…..

I walked/ stumbled to see your eyes, to see if you really meant what you said. But you turned away, letting your bangs cover you face. Grief washed through me, and the feeling of rejection was felt. The pain was excruciating. It was so unbearable that I hugged myself together to make sure I didn't fall into pieces.

You disappeared in a blink of an eye and reappeared behind me. But I wasn't afraid. I was desperate at that time. So desperate 'till I was happy to receive anything from you. Anything. Even death. I suppressed the urge to turn around and see your face. Suddenly, you leaned forward, closer to me and whispered in my ear two words that made me cry. Two words:

''I'm sorry….''

Then, I felt a sharp pain and fell backwards, into your arms, just in time to see your face, one last time. Then I saw your eyes, filled with sorrow that turned into tears which were threatening to overflow.

I smiled and wiped them away with a finger before closing my eyes and drifted away.

The next day I woke up on my bed, with a piece of paper clenched in my hand. I opened and read it, then I broke down into unbreakable sobs.

The letter read:

Dear Kagura,

I've never liked you. For I've always loved you.

Love Sasuke
