Waa... don't hurt me I know it has been over a year since I have updated, but there was a really good reason... I hate writing from Sasuke's point of view! (Don't kill me, or else I really can't finish this how I want too) I have also spent this time thinking of where I am going with this fic, and that is...dun dun dun! A simple point of view fic. In other words, I am just going to go over the same day from the different views of the characters. I also just took all my philosophy and psychology classes so now the real fun begins! Please keep reading... begs

"YOU'RE LATE!"

Gods, they are always so loud, I don't know how the two of them even manage to stay alive when we aren't doing menial work. You would think that after years of meetings, something would have changed, either Kakashi being on time, or the two of them just resigning to the fact that he will always be late, be it hell frozen or not. Kakashi is talking about the 'mission' for today, gods why the heck does that women even care about that cat anymore?

"What the hell was that for!" And Sakura has hit Naruto over the head again. What else is new?

"NARUTO! Didn't you hear Sensei?"

"Nani nani?"

"Baka, we have a last minute mission, and we are leaving right now." Again nothing new, at least I never have to talk; Sakura does all that for me. Dobe seems to be lost in, well I was going to say thought, but well, he is lost...and now he is laughing to himself, hum, maybe all the brain cells he has lost due to Sakura hitting him in the head have finally caught up.

"Ne, sorry Sakura-chan, um… what's the mission?"

"che, Naruto you'll like this one, remember bi-bi neko?" Kakashi sensei has way too much fun with this... maybe he is the one letting the cat lose, just so we can look for it. I wouldn't put it past him.

"What! That stupid cat is lost again! Why can't that lady take the hint that the cat doesn't like her?"

"Dobe, why should we care if the cat hates her or not, a mission is a mission, as long we can train." Training is what is important... I wonder if we were to kill the cat anyone would care?

"Shut up you bastard! And don't call me dobe!"...and why wouldn't I call you it, that is what you are...is what I want to say but I don't heck I can be um... nice sometimes. I'm not always a jackass, well maybe, but its fun! Hum, dobe looks like he is about to explode, I guess nothing will ever change will it? He hates me, I ignore him, and everyone else, I go back to my house and avoid people till the next day. Yup, nothing will ever change.

"Come on now, you both can start fighting afterwards; we have to find our little furry friend now." I start walking away, slightly amused at dobe's attempt to get away from Kakashi and 'beat me up.' Ha, that's a laugh, and again, nothing ever changes.

After all that fuss dobe was making, he sure is quite now, after the cat is back home and Kakashi has left. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder.

"Um, Sasuke-kun, would you walk me home?" Sakure blushes, her hands behind her back. I can see over her head that Naruto is trying to give himself a headache by thinking about something.

"Hn, what ever." I turn to leave, assuming that she is going to be following me any second.

"Ano... Sakura-chan, do you want me to walk you home?" I turn and watch.

"No, that's alright Naruto; Sasuke-kun already said he would. Bai bai!" She yells and runs after me. Funny, never knew he could look truly sad.

I managed to get her home without having my ears talked off, she seemed so happy to just be able to walk with me, she was silent for once. It was nice. I wonder what she would do if I were to leave? Would she run after me, begging me to not go, or would she hate me? I think I would want her to hate me. When we reached her house, I just nodded and left, not really wanting to have to be subjected to her mother's looks and comments. I already know I'm so bloody perfect. I hear it every fricken day. One day I just want to make them all look at me normally, like I was human and now just some poor soul that needs pity and praise.

I make my way back to my apartment alone, all along the way I hear people whispering about how I am going to a great shinobi, how I am going to resurrect the Uchiha family again. How can I do that? There is only one of me, unless they expect him to come back, there is no hope. I know I said that was one of my goals at one time, but that was when I was just a naïve child.

I made my way into my living room, thanks to the funds from the Uchiha family; I can afford to have a good sided apartment, with more than one room. More than that dobe will ever have. I have more than him, I have a comfortable bed, a stocked refrigerator, a couch, heck I even have family scrolls. He will never have those; he will never have any of that familial love that I lost all those years ago. He won't, I won't let him! He isn't allowed to, he is just a dobe, nothing more, he will never be better than me, he will never have my trust or my love or anything that I can give; I will never let him have it!

I realize my rice is burning.

I clean up the mess from the boil over and leave my pot to soak in the sink overnight. I guess it is leftovers tonight.

Later that night I am sitting I bed, my comfortable bed that Naruto will never have, looking at an old family scroll, that Naruto will never have, thinking about my future plans, that Naruto will never have any part in, I will pass him... no, he hasn't ever passed me, I won't let him get near me. I am perfect compared to him, I have their love and affection, I can live without smiling because I don't have to put on a mask to survive, they know who I am, they tell him who I am every time I walk through the door, and you know what, he doesn't even have that and I hate him for it.

:-D Hehehe, I started to have more fun with that near the end, but yes, as with the last chapter I think the song by Finger Eleven, One Thing (it was the one I was listening to at the time) I will try and be more faithful with updates now... really! Also, thank you Jester from Hell, Narutofreak22, and Dearest for reviewing! Also, as to the shonen-ai point... I may like it, but I don't think it will be in this work of fiction... if you can't tell from this chapter Again, I love you all and please review!
