A/N: Written at around eleven on a school night when I was supposed to be reading my book for English. But this idea just popped into my head while listening to music, so I just had to jot it down.

Promises and Chances

Asking myself about it wasn't going to make it get any better, and it wouldn't make it go away either. And despite how confident I was that I could bring him back, I knew, I knew down in the bottom of my heart; that I wouldn't be able to stop him if it meant I had to kill.

Because the teme meant to much to me for me to be able to do that.

I was going to stop him, not kill him. I'd stop him and bring him back. Not only for the promise I'd made to Sakura-chan, but for my own sake as well. He'd done a lot that proved to me that he wasn't a cold-hearted bastard set only on revenge; saved my life once even.

But more than that, I just wanted him to come back, to come home. If he needed a reason to stay, a reason to fight, then I'd give one to him. If he wanted to be so different from his brother, then he only needed to see that he was making the same idiot choices. He still had a chance.

A chance to be different.

A chance to be strong.

A chance to have something that his brother never had, or ever would.

Silently, I made a promise to myself that, even if I failed today, that I'd show him what he was missing, what I was willing to give and sacrifice to help him. Even if it killed me, I was going to prove that to him.

And there is no way in hell that I was going to go back on that promise.

FIN.


So yes there it is. I'd like some reviews on this (seeing as it's so short, I'm only going to expect three to be the most I'll ever get on it) as it is my first SasuNaru fanfiction, and probably will be my only one for a while until I can complete more of the prompts I have taken up from various Live Journal communities. Oh, and gotten further along or completed Freedom and Blood.

Review away!

Kat.
