home is where the heart is
When a house is not a home,
all that's left is to rebuild.
Home is not Sakura, with her quiet acceptance, her childish love, her shy smiles, her gentle touch. It's not with her, she who could never understand, who could never be able to help.
Home is not Naruto, with his easy smiles, his brash confidence, his ill-fated challenges, his fiery heart. It's not with him, the loser who surpassed Sasuke.
Home is most definitely not Kakashi, who teaches but doesn't, who's there but gone, who could never replace the father Sasuke had loved. It could never be with him, because no matter how similar they once were - two incomplete people can't hope to make a whole one. It doesn't help that the two of them have forgotten how to hope.
But even though Sasuke hasn't had a home since his was taken from him, he still knows that home is wherever they are not.
