Home again
::Naruto + Sasuke::
There was nothing more he could do.
There was so much more he could have done.
Why? Why did he have to look so fucking blank? Why couldn't the bastard look angry, just for a moment? Couldn't he show something, anything, to prove that he was still human?
How much of this, exactly, was truly Orochimaru's fault?
How much of this was Sasuke?
In the moment when Sasuke pulled that unfamiliar sword and leaned over beside him, when Naruto caught the smell of death and hate and fear, he knew that they were never going to get Sasuke back alive.
But he would make good on his promise to Sakura and bring him home, no matter the cost.
Team Seven would never be whole again.
E.N.
Poor Naruto. He goes through so much shit in the manga and the anime, and now I have to put him through the ringer in fanfiction.
I should be whipped.
With cream.
