A/N: For EmoNeenja3, who prompted me. Except it wasn't quite how it was in the prompt. Erm, oops and I hope you like drabbles? XD Anyways, please enjoy. (Desir is French for desire. I think. Also, Haha, Chichi, and Ani are mother, father, and brother respectively, but more informal than Okaa-san, etc.)

Sakura has Wishes.
Her Wishes are simple, clean-cut and fairly predictable (some would even call them boring.)
I want Sasuke-kun to be happy. I want Naruto-kun to get his dreams. I want Kakashi-sensei to be proud of us. I want to be strongerfastersmarterbetterworthy.
But her Wishes are strong, nothing for the faint of heart and soul. They have withstood insurmountable tests ("please don't go" screams the broken heart throbbing in her chest, "oh please don't go, please, I love you, please, can't we just last?") and trials and tribulations and other tomfoolery, but the point is that they have stood, and stood well, stood the tests of time, talent, terror. Where others would have had their hearts ground into fine powder, she has remained.
Her Wishes continue, circling and circling until she is back where she started. She will cry and die and her soul will be torn into scraps of nothing (because she is nothing if not a stubborn fool of a girl), but the Wishes…
The Wishes will remain.
ii.
Sasuke has Goals.
He has two, straightforward and to the point, like he is, linear with sharp angles and intersections of the mind.
I will kill that man (for Haha and Chichi and Ani, because the real Ani died that day). I will bring back the Uchiha (will have children, and maybe, by then, be happy).
And his Goals are good, regardless of how he brings them out. They are good, because small children should be innocent ("Haha? Chichi?" cries the fluttering pieces of his soul, "Ani, what have you done, why are they gone, Ani, why?") and have pure minds, and even if one are to be shinobi, one is still a child and one is still good, maybe even heroic, because there are mothers and fathers and children (oh children) to be avenged, families to have. He is still a bit of a child, still wanting that sense of closeness.
His Goals will stay, haunting his dream worlds and nightmares while they are yet unfulfilled. He will live and lose all that he has only to force himself back up (for he is persistent, he is avenger, but yet a small broken child jumping at shadows), and the Goals…
The Goals will endure.
iii.
Naruto has Dreams.
He has many, plural, but a few stand out, because they are basic, like him, a portrait of his needs and innermost desires.
I'd like a family, a real one, with a mother and father, brother and sister. I'd have people notice me, acknowledge me. I'd be recognized. I wouldn't be shunned.
These Dreams are ever-present, stemming from childhood and becoming his mantra, the vision in sight ("I'm here!" his soul wants to scream at the people passing by, "I'm here, I will always be here, please see me, notice me, tell me, do I deserve to be?"), and everything is just with in reach—and his arm falls short, the teme (brother) disappears like a mirage, and he's left alone again. But he will not give up, he will not give in, and he stands, reaching out, and he tells himself that this time, he will bring their third wheel home, and this time, they will be a team.
His Dreams live on, because that is what they do—he will be Hokage, he will bring back Sasuke, he will see Sakura be happy, he will find acknowledgement and recognition and finally people will notice he exists (because he will be there, in their faces, telling them that this is him, that he is here, and he will not disappear), and his Dreams…
The Dreams will be real.
FIN
-and be you a wisher, avenger, dreamer-
