I wanted to save her from the Sand Ninja...but I wasn't strong enough. Naruto saved her. Naruto was getting stronger and I...was stuck. Second was not an option. Naruto was going to do greater things before me. Naruto is 'first'. If I couldn't save a close friend then I couldn't kill Itachi. I stood there silently, letting her try and convince me to stay. I could hear her tears fall to the ground. I never interrupted her. Why? Because she was precious to me. I needed to break these bonds. It hurt me by hurting her...but I had to. Not by choice.
"I knew it" I said. She turned and looked at me. "I'm not the same as you. I'm traveling a path the rest of you can't follow" If anything thing happened to her...I could never forgive myself. "I know the four of us have worked together. And for awhile I thought I could take that road instead...but in the end I decided on revenge. That's always been my reason for living. I'll never be like you and Naruto" I said in a cold tone.
It was hard hurting her from all the times she helped and cared for me. I always actted like I did care but...slowly I did. I continued to listen to her talk about the pain she would feel if I was gone. Little did she know it caused me pain just thinking about it. Splash Splash. I listened to her tears. Man was she annoying. Why couldn't this be easier? "This is a new beginning we each of us has a new path laying before us"
"Sasuke, I'm so in love with you I can't stand it!" She yelled, choking on her tears.
For a second my heart skipped a beat. I knew she had a crush on me but love?

"Sasuke, I'm so in love with you I can't stand it!" I yelled with tears in my eyes. I always thought it was a crush but no...it was more than that. I couldn't bear someone very close to me leave. "If you would only be with me I promise I'd never let you regret it! Everyday will be a joy! I can give you happiness!" I yelled with more tears. 'Please don't go!'I repeatedly yelled to my self. And he turned to me. "I'm begging don't leave!" I begged hoping he'll stay. "I'll care for you!, Be there for you!, I'll even help get your revenge!" There was nothing more I could say...so I said the unthinkable. "I'll even help restore you're clan!" Was I begging him to let me have his kids just so he'll stay?...Yes. I saw a blush appear on his face as I said it.
"Your still annoying" He said then started to walk away.
"Don't go!" I yelled with tears and ran after him. He turned around and I ran to him, wrapped my arms around him and cried on his shirt.
"Thank you" I heard him say.

'I'll fall for you tonight...but never again.'
Naruto was first now...but not this time.
I thought to myself as I lifted her chin and kissed her. Her lips were soft but salty from the tears. The kiss was short but nice. I held her pressure point on her neck. She slowly fell into unconsciousness. I caught her body and placed her on the bench. "First" I whispered in her ear before disappearing into the night.
'I'll fall for you tonight but never again'
I know it was short and it was meant to be. Inspired by a song "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade. Please Review if you fave! :3
