Chapter two. I know the last one was really short, but I didn't intend it to be so, sorry and also this one is nearly shorter but the final chapter won't be quite so short. ^_^

Review please!

Disclaimer! I do not own anything Naruto related!

When I first returned to the village, I felt dislocated. Out of place. I could feel others staring at me. Judging me like they were actually worthy enough to do so. Pathetic losers.

I'll say this; when I first returned, Sakura did catch my eye-It pains me to admit- with her apparent change; Her powerful, muscular arms, proof that she was getting stronger; her firm stomach, laced with slightly visible abs; her toned legs. Her hair was longer than I left it. It was to her mid back and it had darkened a bit. Her eyes were somewhat harder now, more reassured and intimidating. Who would have guess that she would've turned out to be a beauty?

I have to admit I had briefly entertained the idea that Sakura would perhaps assist me in carrying on the Uchiha line. I had thought that after I left and got my revenge, she'd still be here for me after I came back. I had held onto the fact that she still cared for me. I mean, she cared so deeply- so obviously- for me when I left. I could feel it and it used to make me both uncomfortable and incredibly grateful of her, even if I didn't show it. I couldn't ever forget that fact that she really cared. Not like a fan girl cared, but really deeply.

My absence from her however clearly altered her thoughts. She still fought to bring me back cut once I did return she simply took it upon herself to make her life's mission to avoid me. Not so much avoid me as simply forget I exist.

I will admit I've caught myself being blatant; staring at her, walking behind her. I watch her without even thinking about watching her. It's really creepy even for me.

I am all alone. Maybe that's why. Ever since I've came back they've been watching me too. Scrutinizing me like they have the right. Kiba that pompous jerk makes sure that I know he's keeping his closest eyes on me; just in case I decide to "go off and betray the village again" or something like that. And Shikamaru's every studying, unsatisfied gaze. He watches me more than most. He's got those really intense eyes and I can feel him examining my behavior.

He bother me more than any of them. Shikamaru Nara. Mostly because I see him almost everyday with Sakura. They've become really good friends according to everyone else in the village. It's disgusting. Naruto said that ever since Shikamaru got promoted he's been working right beside Hokage-Tsunade; and right beside Sakura too. It bothers me because I can see the way she looks at him. It used to be the way she looked at me, once.

I think it's only hitting me now because I assumed everyone would be happy to have me back eventually. After the initial shock of my departure wore off I assumed they'd be glad. Especially Sakura. But now that it's been years and they're still just as shifty around me, I can't stand it.

I don't deserve it if I do say so myself. I didn't do anything that wrong. Why condemn me for simply trying to smooth the rough of my past? It's not like they wouldn't want to do the same thing. I simply did what was best for me. So why am I still judged like a monster. Like a rouge?
