Summary- A follow up to 'Picture'. Naruto's feelings of Sasuke leaving expressed by words.
.::Memories::.
Damn that Teme. Why did he leave! I would sit there staring up at the stars when I couldn't sleep; Thinking of all the cherished memories I had shared with team 7. His betrayal had hit me like a knife when I found out but that was no reason for us to almost get killed going after him
Wow I'm starting to sound like Shikamaru. Anyway, going after him didn't help us at all. Choji and Neji nearly died while Kiba and Shikamaru got help from the sand. And who did we go through all this trouble for?
Uchiha Sasuke.
My rival and best friend's absence was getting to us all and we all tried to figure out what drove him away. Somehow over the days that he has been gone, I have felt my connection with him growing distant; and now I feel that it is gone. As I stare up at the stars and think of the times together, I feel as though a part of me is gone away; ran from reality.
His goal is to become stronger and to defeat his brother right? Yeah like Orochimaru will really help him.
Grandma Tsunade has told Sakura and I to give up hope, but I will not give up.
It's strange but when I think about it, he said before that he wanted to fight me; but that won't be happening right now will it? I looked at the moon and smiled slightly remembering my promise to Sakura back as we, the Sasuke retrieval squad, were leaving to get Sasuke… the promise that I couldn't fulfil…
But for some strange reason, the moon gave me a bit more hope; it made me think about how lucky I was to have him as a friend in the first place, even if we did fight all the time. I picked myself up and smiled at the night sky while loomed over me. The clouds were all away and the night was clear. I smirked and made another oath.
Sasuke… I swear on both our lives that you will come back to this village. Whether you like it or not!
