Disclaimer: No, I do not own "Naruto" or any of the characters and do not claim to own it. That would be just ASKING for a file suit…and an extra angry Japanese lawyer. (but aren't lawyers usually that way? ;D) All ideas belong to fairycloud22, so please do not copy. Thanks.

Side note: I desperately need some reviews people!! comment please! Thank you :)

They had waited so long for this. Once again they had caught up with him...after long travels and difficult tasks…but the reunion Sakura and Naruto had waited for seemed cold…...distant…...

The air hang thick with their anticipation as they tried to convince Sasuke to return and waited for his reply…...his answer…

"What do you want me to say?" He asked bluntly, with a flat, sarcastic edge to his voice.

"That 'I hate life and I wish everything was back to the way it was?'" His gaze never made contact with theirs as he spoke.

"Cause I don't."

…and it chilled them to the bone.

His eyes were dark, indifferent, unconcerned and uncaring, while Naruto's glowed with anger and Sakura's brimmed over with glistening tears.

Sorry, all you Sasuke fans out there, but I have to admit…he has been an unfeeling jerk lately. (SERIOUSLY) I mean, just crashing through Naruto's kage bunshin like it was a puff of smoke, and abandoning everyone…(along with countless other things) Really!

When I thought of what characters from the leaf village would say (maybe in reality/real world) this was the first thing that popped into my head. It just sounds (to me) like Sasuke. It is interesting to imagine wat Sakura's and Naruto's reactions would be if Sasuke said this...after they had gone so far for him...

What do Sakura and Naruto want from Sasuke?

I don't think they even know...
