MOMENT OF TRUTH

I go still at the sound of her voice. She keeps her back turn towards me so I decide to approach myself. I walk and sit next to her. I hear my heart pounding in my ears. We sit in slience for what seems like all eternity. Finally she said

"Why are you here Sasuke?"

I look at her. She hasn't changed much..... but she looks tired, old, scared. I could tell she was trying to cloud her emotions. But I know her to well. She was hurting and It's partially my fault. I was well to envolved in the annialation of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Where's Naruto?" I ask firmly clouding my emotions as well. I see her go still all at once.

"So that's why your here..." she whispers.

"So where is he?" Firmly asked again.

This time she doesn't answer. The wind blows through the trees and I see her shiver.

"Are you cold?" I ask

She turns to glare at me "How could you!......I thought I loved you a long time ago Sasuke! But your a MONSTER!

She starts bawling. I lean away from her in confusion.

She's right I am a monster I think to myself.

"I'm so sorry Sakura...... For everything....." I whisper

Her crying stops all of a sudden and she looks up at me. Her beautiful blue green eyes sparkle in confusion.

"What?" she says confused.

I let my eyes wander to the ground in shame. I feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Your right" I whisper "I am a monster..... I thought Maybe if i avenged my brother then I would feel complete.......No content but......All I feel is....."

"What do you feel Sasuke?"

I look up at her "I feel dirty. Nothing, I killed everyone and I feel NOTHING BUT GUILT!"

I start sobbing.
