A Night With No Stars

Sasuke didn't like nights like these. He was all alone, and the only light in the sky was the blood moon that reminded him all too vividly of that fateful night when his brother had been forced to kill their entire clan. In a way, he mused, that night's moon was like him. It was all alone in the sky, with no companions to speak of, relying on the light of others to shine. Sakura was his other, at least, he hoped that she still felt the same way after everything he'd done.

"I love you with all my heart."
