He kneels bound and gagged before me, blood flowing down his cheeks in dull red rivers. His hands are tied behind his back, the burns from the rope already raw, blistered and bloody. He hung his head. He realized death was inevitable. For what he had done he could not be forgiven.
I walked towards him, my kunai dripping with the blood that flowed from my heavily bleeding arm.
He remained mute and motionless as I approached, not even glancing at me. I took my stance behind him, gripping his hair in my left fist as I jerked his head back. I gazed into his onyx eyes one last time seeing only a determined resignation etched there. My grip on my kunai tightened as I wiped a trickle of blood from my eye before placing my blade at his throat.
There could be no hesitation. No mercy and no remorse. For betraying our village he deserved death. For betraying me he deserved so much more. I had to do this. The years of uncertainty and betrayal that came from his abandonment had eaten away at me until I was no longer human. My life had become automated and for that I could not forgive him. He had made me a machine. He had broken my heart and I could not forgive him. And I could not forgive him from leaving me when I needed him the most.
To be a shinobi is to sacrifice. I have sacrificed both others and myself for the sake of a mission, but never before had sacrificing another been a personal sacrifice as well. By killing him I was killing my fears. I was regaining the peace, righting his wrongs. I was restoring the order. I was freeing myself from the bonds he had placed upon me so many years ago. The bonds that had slowly tightened around me until I was unsure of what I needed to do. I had to do this. My friends, my life, were counting on me.
His pulse was steady against my kunai. With one clean movement I had sliced through skin, muscle and artery. Blood sprayed from his wound, covering the floor ahead of us. As his body slumped to the ground I allowed a solitary tear to tumble down my cheek. A tear for the love I had given him. He was the only man I had ever loved, and I had killed him. I had killed my demon.
I stopped only to clean my kunai before replacing it into my kit. I never looked back and I never regretted it. I walked away into the trees, my shoulders set straighter, stronger. I walked towards a better life. A new life.
I left Sakura Haruno in the shed with him. I was not that girl anymore. For the first time in my life I was free. I was a kunoichi, and I had something to look forward to. For the first time in my life I would sleep soundly, for the demon that haunted my dreams was dead. I had killed him. I had killed Sasuke Uchiha.
