I recall waking in the depths of the night, as my eyes began searching for you. In that lonely moonlit room, I found myself alone in this world of emptiness. No matter how much I dreamed of you, you would only linger in the world of my dreams. In reality, I would wake up every sunrise to an empty bed, pretending that you were beside me once more.

Sasuke, it has been three months since you left. Three long and torturing months without you.

The first signs of spring were already showing as I treaded along the forests of Konoha, visiting the places where we had once trained together with Sakura and Kakashi during our days in team seven. I smiled , recalling the many times I had called you a cold bastard.

Those wonderful days when we were still a team. You would never know how much I miss the times when we had called each other names, the times when Sakura would be chasing after you and you would give her a cold shoulder and the times when I was chasing after Sakura and she would give me the cold shoulder.

I laughed silently to myself, knowing that those days were the best times of our ninja life. Sasuke…….have you forgotten those as well?

The night of Ino and Shikamaru's wedding, everyone was there to congratulate them. Many of our old classmates and teachers from the academy were there as well. The hall was filled with glee and laughter, everyone was happy for the couple.

I remember standing at the farthest corner of the hall, silently staring at the smiling faces around me. I avoided everyone's gaze, hoping that no one would notice that the feelings I had were a complete contrast to the happiness shining on the faces of the people around me.

I was happy for the couple, Shikamaru was always a good friend, but somehow I could not bring myself to smile. The emptiness in my heart would not allow me to smile once more.

Far across the room, I caught sight of you. In your arms, you held someone else. I felt betrayed, cheated….Why did I ever fall for you?

Now the reason on why you left was clearly revealed before me. The woman you held in your arms could give you something that I could not… An heir.

An heir to revive the Uchiha clan once more.

I should have known, had this illusion of love blinded me so?

Dashing across the hall, I made my way for the front door, leaving all feelings of you behind me. I would move on, I would show you that I could continue living without you beside me….

Farewell…..Sasuke…

( Sasuke pov)

I saw your fleeting image, retreating from the hall. As you stepped into the world outside, I saw the silent tears that streaked down your cheeks. This was the final blow, you could take no more. You would move on even without me by your side.

Things were better this way… Naruto, continue living….. hate me…despise me…wish that you never met me…..but please, please move on….

" Sasuke-san…." a voice called behind me.

" It's alright Yumi, you don't have to act anymore," I said to her as I slipped my hand away, no longer holding her waist.

" Sasuke-san, is this really alright?" she asked worriedly, seeing the distress on my face.

" It's alright. This way he won't love me anymore," I said as I silently retreated from the hall.

I stepped out into the moonlit night. The crescent moon that hung in the sky seemed to smile sadly at me.

' The crescent moon….the night I almost lost you…the night I first held you…

Naruto…….I still recall it well….' I thought silently as tears stung my eyes.

You would move on Naruto…You would live without me….

(end of Sasuke's pov)

A/N This story is probably going to end in the next chapter. I'll give you all a hint, the ending will be sad and touching. It was originally made to be a one shot after all, so I hope that you all will review this chap as well…until next time…
