A Stand Still

(5/22/13)

He rushes into the battle as quickly as possible, he doesn't think about what he'll do when he gets there because it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to him now is to protect the village he had once wanted to destroy, protect what his brother fought so hard for.

It's then that he begins to see it, the ten tails, threatening what he's striving to protect.

He lands on the ground in a fluid movement and feels the familiar chakra behind him. "You're pretty late, Sasuke!" Naruto exclaims.

"Sasuke-kun…?" She murmurs and it's her voice that makes him look back and see her. Her eyes are wide, unbelieving and he doesn't blame her considering everything that's happened.

"…Sakura." Her name escapes his lips before he could stop himself. He can't stop the feeling of resentment towards her, not only because she tried to kill him, him the one she claimed to love; but, more because she let him try to kill her.

He knew he'd see her sooner or later and although he wanted to apologize for what he almost did to her he couldn't, because an apology wasn't enough and he knew that, it would never be enough. With the look in her eyes he knew she understood that too.

Their moment was short and brief consisting of spoken names in recognition and an unwavering gaze of understanding, but for that moment the whole world around them seem to stop still and all he saw was pink and green.

And then the space around them crowded and the world continued to move again, the moment was over because they were at war and there was some explaining to be done.

A/N:

Thanks to the 9 people who reviewed on yesterday's drabble!

Btw I know I still have two requests to post and don't worry I will, but after today's Naruto chapter I couldn't resist, this is a day to be remembered and I just needed to write something about it. If you haven't read the chapter I order you to read it now, I almost died.

If you have a request feel free to write it in the box below, all comments would be greatly appreciated as well.

If there are enough reviews I'll post another drabble tomorrow.

You review, I update.
Deal? ;)
