Bigger Than Love (My Memory of You)
A/N- This is my first fanfic and I know it won't be the best. I hope you guys will read it anyways and maybe I can see what you guys think. Thanks!!!! (.)!!!
Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto or the characters (.). Also, one part in this story has a little spoiler of episode 109.
He wasn't even going to say goodbye. I was glad I stopped him….or at least tried to. I needed to think, I needed to understand, I needed to get why team seven was falling apart…why Naruto and Sasuke were acting this way? It was hard witnessing them fight. Kakashi had to intervene when they were about to attack. At that point, I knew it was serious.
Later on, I took Naruto out for a semi date, but all I could think about was Sasuke. We went to eat some ramen and I told Naruto a little bit of what I felt. I was glad telling him. He assured me that Sasuke would never do that.
"Don't worry. Sasuke wouldn't accept an invitation from someone like that. And even if he did accept something like that, he's strong! I guarantee it!"
When I heard him say that, it made me feel better. Even though I don't give Naruto credit, he does understand me and when I need his help, he's there. I never even once considered Naruto's feelings and I was just saying things to him that I still regret.
I looked at Naruto, smiled, and responded,
"Yeah!"
After the ramen and after the talk and date, I told Naruto I wanted to be alone and just to take a walk. I walked to the road exit of the village and found Sasuke leaving. I tried to convince him, I begged him not to go. I tried to make him stay, but he already made a choice.
He told me that we are taking different paths and that he already chose his. Revenge….that was something he must do and seemed to live for. But, I know that deep inside, some part of him wanted to stay. Some part liked where he was. He might seem distant, but he was close to us and I think he thought of us the same way. We were all close. We had fights, arguments, misunderstandings, judgments, and differences, but even through that, we protected each other with our lives. We formed bonds.
It was hard waking up the next day and days after that, knowing that Sasuke isn't here. Even now, I still wonder when he'll come, make amends, and let us have our best friend back. I'm still waiting for the original team seven to be reunited, fight side by side, and have laughs and more memories along the way. Naruto and I are still waiting for Sasuke. Even though he might have changed, we still think about him and everything that we did together. We have our memories of him that can never be forgotten. You can call it denial. You can tell us to give up, but it won't work. We just can't let go of what we had and might still have. Without him, it wouldn't be the same team seven.
