Oneshot. Sad letter form Naruto to Sasuke. Lines taken from Car Underwater by Armor for Sleep. I don't own the song or Naruto.


Hey teme. Just take a look at me now.

It's been three years, and I still can't let you go. You probably think that's really pathetic, neh? Because as you said, "Bonds make you weak". Well I can't argue with that. Not anymore.

But I really can't forget you. I can't separate myself from you. Because you were the first; you were the only one. Sasuke, you noticed me; you treated me like a person. You actually made me feel like I was worth something.

Remember that day when you sacrificed yourself for me? At first I didn't understand what was happening. It never occurred to me that a person would do anything for my sake. But you did. You put your life on the line for a demon like me. When your eyes opened up again; that was the happiest moment of my life. I thought my living, that it might have meaning.

Yeah. We went through so much together. All those missions and practices; fighting for each other. When I was with you, I could be as strong as I wanted to be. I could do anything as long as you stood there, next to me.

Then you left. You tried to kill me. You abandoned me there bleeding, alone, in the rain. I gave my all to get you back, to save you from the darkness. I unleashed my greatest power, ripped myself apart. All for nothing. I would have let you take my life if you said you'd stay.

You really did break me. Teme; you've caused so much pain and suffering, more than my own. So many scars and broken hearts, so many tears shed in you're name. I hope it was worth it; everything you've done.

I read the letter without even changing my expression; it was just what I would expect from Naruto. He really just didn't get it did he? I was through with him, and I didn't care about his feelings. I did what I needed to do to get power; if people were going to cry about it, good for them. Be weak. Not my problem.

I started to walk away from the wasted piece of paper. I was going to go train or something. That was when I saw the scribbled sentences at the bottom of the page. I could barley make out his messy handwriting.

Dark as you become, I will always love you.

No sin could stain you in my eyes.

I don't care that you left and abandoned me;

What hurts more's that I'd still die for you.

A thousand times over.

I cried.


Thanks for reading. Review.
