A/N: I was supposed to post this yesterday but meh. Now's a good a time as any. :D
He thinks of his life as he lies motionless in the middle of the battlefield.
He thinks of his family and how he lost them. He thinks of his once team who he knows would never replace what he lost but would've filled the void in him had he let them. He thinks of his many impulsive decisions, the path he took and how maybe it might've not been the best to take, of the life of hatred he lived and how it ultimately led to this.
Uchiha Sasuke lies in his own pool of blood with a sword plunged through him and thinks of his life and everything that could've been, would've been and should've been.
He thinks of his brother and how he would still be alive if not for his blindness of the truth and now all his sacrifices will be in vain because Sasuke has failed him yet again.
He thinks of the people fighting this stupid war and how they shouldn't even be fighting it and now there will be more memorial stones to be built and more names to carve in it.
He thinks of his peers and everyone they've lost because of one of his own. And even if some sick twisted part of him thinks it is only right for them to know what it feels like to lose someone special, he knows they shouldn't because they don't deserve it.
He thinks of his team—his old team, Team 7, his family—and he is filled with regret.
He thinks of Kakashi and how he should've listened to him. And how if only he did, things would've never escalated like this and now he's going to lose his precious people again. He thinks of Naruto and his dream that he so selfishly claimed as his not too long ago. Sasuke is at least glad the moron is too stubborn to die and at least he knows Naruto will do what is right when he becomes Hokage.
He deliberately thinks of her last.
Because if this is really the end of the line for him he'd want to at least die with the memory of something beautiful on his mind.
Sasuke thinks of Sakura and a bitter smile grazes his face.
Because she is everything that could've been, would've been, should've been and oh, she was everything.
He sees her land a few feet away from him with a frantic and tearful look in her eyes and dammit why is it that even in his last moments all he could do is make her cry?
"Sasuke-kun…don't…I'll save you. Just—just hang on, Sasuke-kun."
Don't cry, Beautiful. This lowly man does not deserve your tears.
As Sasuke let the darkness consume him, his last thoughts were of Sakura and everything that could've been, would've been and should've been but never will.
A/N: I'll let you decide if Sasucakes lives or not.
This is my first Naruto chapter fic. I've only done a couple of one-shots before and I thought it'll be fun to start on one. But only a drabble-series because I'm still feeling my away around writing long chaptered fics. This one will contain multi-pairings and will revolve around war-time in the shinobi world. Read and review, yes? :D
