Disclaimer: I really don't wanna write this…I don't own Naruto, and the song belongs to Marti Lebow.

A/N: Sasuke seems a bit OC in this one…

"SASUKE!"

Said shinobi paused in his footsteps. "Hello dobe."

I close my eyes, and I can see,

The day we met.

Just one moment and I knew.

You're my best friend, do anything for you.

"Why'd you do it Sasuke? Why did you betray Konoha?"

"Why? They're weak, and I needed power, power that I could never get while I was in Konoha." I'm sorry, but I need to kill my brother…

"So you're just gonna leave like this then, huh? WELL I'M GONNA STOP YOU!"

We've gone so far, and done so much

And I feel, like we've always been together,

Right by my side, through thick and thin.

You're a part of my life, I'll always remember.

Sasuke's impassive face stared up at Naruto's angry one; his birthmarks were suddenly more pronounced, blue eyes wide and pronounced, with just a hint of red starting to swirl in them… "You're not leaving us Sasuke…You going to come back to Konoha with me, and we're gonna walk back through those main gates. You're gonna walk through them on your own power, or I'm going to drag your body through them, but you're coming home!"

The time has come.

It's for the best, I know it.

Who could have guessed, that you and I…

Somehow someday, we'd have to say goodbye.

"And if I refuse?"

"What?" Sasuke felt a small tug at the corner of his mouth.

"I asked you, what if I refuse?"

Naruto growled, and allowed himself a small reprieve from holding back his anger, and his teammate suddenly sported a new bruise across his cheek. "Then I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth, break your arms and legs, and then drag your carcass back Konoha."

A small bloody smile graced itself across Sasuke's face. Thank you…but you can't follow me. I walk the Avenger's path, and I will do what I have to in order to obtain power. His hand shot up and grasped the collar of Naruto's jacket. With little difficulty, Sasuke lifted the blond shinobi off the ground as he got back up. He then proceeded to throw the blond off the cliff.

You've helped me find, the strength inside

And the courage, to make my dreams come true

How will I find, another friend, like you?

Sasuke stared down at the soaking figure below him. Aaa…what could we have been in another lifetime? No, what were we before this? He stared deep into the figure of the opponent before him, and allowed himself a small smile. That's right…we were both a friend to one who didn't have friends…and because of that we meant a little more to each other. I'm sorry… His glare didn't waver, his face didn't betray a single thing, and his aura angry indifference never faltered in the least. …but at the very least…His lips turned into a fierce grin. …I can give you the fight you wanted.

Two of a kind, that's what we are

And it seems, like we were always winning.

But as our team, is torn apart,

I wish we could go, back to the beginning.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

"Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu!" For just a moment, Sasuke's lips twitched into a fierce smile at the immensity of the jutsu before him, as the ribbon burning Naruto clones disappeared in a burst of chakra-induced smoke. Then he looked down, and against his will, his eyebrow arched almost imperceptibly upwards. Naruto was still standing, what more he had a surprisingly…feral look to him. What the…oh, damn! Sasuke growled as he leapt straight up and furiously began performing seals, "Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" Just in time as well, seeing as chakra-propelled clone projectiles were still susceptible to katon jutsus. He growled, this was going to a be a long battle.

The time has come.

It's for the best, I know it

Who could have guessed, that you and I…

Somehow someway, we'd have to say goodbye.

The crackling of lighting and chakra resided in his hand. He barely acknowledged it, more concerned with the orange-clad shinobi hanging from his fist, and the look on his face, the defeated…lost…look. He growled as he thrust his right hand forward.

Somehow today, we'd have to say goodbye…

"CHIDORI!"

"RASENGAN!"

Afterwards, Sasuke stared down at the one he just fought. His thoughts raced as his battle-high wore off, and with it, his ability to keep standing. No one would know what he was thinking as he stared at the unconscious face of Naruto, a mere three inches from his own at that moment. He just got up, and walked away.

A/N: OH GOD! THAT WAS HORRIBLE! I PLEAD INSANITY WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS. PLEASE, FLAME ME JUST SO I HAVE AN INKLING OF HOW OCed SASUKE TURNED OUT TO BE. Note to self: never, ever, write one shot fics over a time span of several days ever again.
