I was walking the streets blindly. It was years since I've last seen him. He left looking for revenge and he never looked back, not once. Of course we had a few missions where he was my main target, the goal of the mission was to return him to the village, but we failed each and every time. He didn't come back then and I wasn't expecting him to come back at all.
But, he came back. He came back and after six years he expects everything to be the same, the way it was. He killed them. He got his revenge. Does he fill good or just empty, hollow, I don't know. I haven't asked him, and to be honest I was avoiding him and for a reason. Everything I have ever felt towards him came back, with vengeance.
I love him. Yes, I know that, he knows that and so does everyone else. Everyone knows, but nobody wants to accept that truth. Maybe because he was expecting for Sakura to wait for him, but she married Neji and they have two wonderful children. Maybe because Ino got over him with Kiba. The two of them, Sakura and Ino, they were always the best of friends and bitter rivals. Sasuke and I had something similar until he left with Orochimaru looking for power to avenge his clan.
Tsunade-baba always told me I was hoping too much. He isn't for me. He has the power to break my heart and use it if it will help him in anyway. He already did it once and nothing will stop him to do so again.
I let out a heavy sigh and noticing where I am and what time it is I slowly started going home. Halfway there I saw Shikamaru and Temari. Temari was yelling. When she yells it's never good for your continued existence, everybody learned it pretty quickly, and not to get involved. Her anger is like a tsunami destroying everything in its path. Shikamaru, on the other hand, looked like he was bored, as always. I feel sorry for him, if he angered Temari, I wish him all the luck.
Slowly I continued forward. When I got there I saw Sasuke standing in front of my building. I approached him and we just stood there and watched each other for some time. We didn't talk, there was no need.
Strange thing, but even after six years he still knows me the best. Except maybe Tsunade-baba and Ero-sannin, only he bothered to really get to know me. That doesn't mean much to me now, not when he left when I needed him the most, when he could have explained it to me, made it easier to the both of us.
He just lifted his brow in question. I rolled my eyes in answer. Our silent conversation soon came to an end when I went up the steps to my apartment. I stopped and looked back at him; he understood the invitation and started following me.
When we got to my apartment he sat on the couch and called me over with his hand to join him. I listened to him, even though I hate when someone tells me what to do. Slowly, I lowered myself next to him.
In the nights darkness I watched as moonlight played in his, dark as onyx, eyes. We sat like that and watched each other for some time until he lowered his face to mine and, unexpectedly, kissed me gently.
After separating we looked at each other to see the others reaction and then I eased my head onto his shoulder. He kissed my head gently, and rests his head against mine, and like that we slowly drifted asleep.
Silence was comfortable, different from all others, except maybe with Shikamaru and Shino, but that's different. Silence between Sasuke and me is the product of us understanding each other without words. Because; between us, words were never needed.
