Naruto held the kunai steady, perfectly aimed for the Uchiha's heart. He glared at the raven and panted, trying desperately not to cry.

"I'm sorry, Naruto." Sasuke murmured, giving himself to his fate. He knew what would happen, the dobe would lose it, his control would snap and the blonde would attack with deadly accuracy. He knew that's what he deserved.

And Naruto exploded, "I don't care, Sasuke. I don't care if you're sorry, or if you hurt or anything!" Then, he threw the kunai, expecting for the raven to jump away, to dodge, or to stop the kunai with his sword.

Sasuke did nothing, allowing the kunai to head straight for him, allowing it to hit dead on and impale him into a tree. He coughed, liquid red blood slipping from the corner of his mouth.

He gasped, his heart had stopped and his brain was shutting down. He sucked in as much air as he could and gritted out, "I know."
