Selfishness

When she was young she often dreamed. Her dreams were quite often silly but none the less typical of a normal girl. They consisted of a princess and her knight in shining armor. She would always be the princess and Sasuke, her knight in shining armor but of course that was a given. Who else could possibly be her knight aside from Sasuke? The thought alone used to be insane.

In her dreams, everything was perfect, well as perfect as they could possibly be. There were no "You're annoying" or "You're weak". In stead her dreams used to be filled with "I love you" and "I need you". They were foolish dreams but that was no surprise. After all, she herself was a foolish girl. Who else would senseless enough to chase after an avenger who just happened to think of her as incredibly annoying.

She had always forced herself to believe that Sasuke was perfect, it had worked in her dreams. That in itself was selfish but it couldn't be helped because she herself was a very selfish person. There was no denying it. She could lie to other people but she couldn't to herself. Only a selfish person would over look the betrayal and pain caused to others by Sasuke but only a stupid person would still continue to love him. Unfortunately, she was both. She had realized too late that Sasuke wasn't as perfect as she wanted, no, needed him to be because she was in too deep, too far-gone. She was much too in love with him to possibly care about his faults, his flaws and his imperfections.

Like a poison he had consumed her, devoured her whole being. He had spread through her entire existence without any warning leaving her defenseless against his unintentional allure.

He was a drug and she was addicted.
