Chapter Six: Never Again
You never looked my way, not even a glimpse. You were always too caught up in your own world to even realize how much you mean to me. To caught up to not be able to just slow down a bit, only a tiny bit, and acknowledge my existence.
Why, I ask you, why do I get hurt over and over again without anything being done?
I have spent countless nights crying over you, crying for you, just crying because my hearts empty. Because you shut me out, you shut everyone out and you act as if nothing is wrong. You act as if you don't need anyone. But I know you must've felt empty and alone sometime… Right?
When it comes to understanding you, it isn't as simple as one, two, three. It's so much more complicated than that, is what I had thought at first. But now, I read you like a children's book, I see you in plain black and white, not with all those colours.
I came to an understanding, you're just clinging on to the ideas that were implanted into your head by your brother, that you've forgotten how to live. Forgotten how to live a full life. Rather than enjoying your childhood, you were forced to grow up quickly.
I understood your hearts desire to become strong and accomplish your avenge but do you really think just fighting would solve all the problems? Do you even understand what you are trying to do?
I once held your heart so dearly and so close but it seems as if I have found another. Another who has come to love me, love me when you couldn't. Loved me when you were away. Filled my heart when it was in empty and repaired it when it was shattered.
He had came to love, care, feel; all the things you never could. All those 'useless' emotions you have concealed and locked away. He now holds my heart and I to him.
I have come to love your enemy, the very person you sought out to kill, the very man who had thought only of me when you thought of blood spill. Thought about the possibilities when you thought about the limits. Thought about breaking away when you only thought about following one path.
I love Itachi. I will always love him. I will stand in the way, I will protect him from you, I will be the person you will kill if you want to destroy him. His death is mine as well.
Maybe someday, Sasuke, you will learn what love feels like. Maybe one day you will be the one chasing instead of the other way around. Or perhaps you will end up alone and you will die in your grave with nothing but memories and of all the opportunities you missed when it was dancing on your head.
But for now, I'll wait.
I'll wait for you to come to us, I'll wait for you to become strong. Maybe we will fight in the future. In the mean time I, too, will train. Remember I am not the same little girl, not even close anymore. I will stand up to you, I wouldn't let you have your way.
It's Itachi and I against the world. Sasuke, now I wait for you to come to me.
