Take my photo off the wall if it just won't sing
For you
'Cuz all that's left has gone away and there's nothing there for you
To prove
Sakura sighed. It had been five weeks since Sasuke had last talked to her; four and a half weeks since she'd seen him; and four weeks since anyone's talked about him. No one knew exactly what happened after the Chuunin Exam, but when Sakura, Naruto, and Pakkun got there, all they found were two very scared Sand Ninjas and Gaara, dead yet alive. Sasuke had disappeared.
Oh
Look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh, well
It seems like such fun until you
Lose what you had won
Temari was able to tell them that he headed south, but at that moment Kakashi showed up. He was not surprised that Sasuke had left. The Hokage had been killed in the process of killing Orochimaru, who had not fully died. It was unspoken but believed that Sasuke had left to find Orochimaru.
Give me back my point of view 'cuz I just can't think
For you
Sasuke's feet leaped nimbly from tree to tree, racing against himself. It had been five weeks since he'd left that stupid village, and he was currently trying to find some order in his life. His mind was muddled with the thoughts and words of himself, Sakura, Ino, Orochimaru, Kakashi, Naruto, Itachi, Gaara... The list goes on and on inside his head. Right now, as he almost tripped on a twig sticking out of a tree branch, he was trying to decide where to go. His goal was and always will be to kill Itachi... Should he try to find him? But in order to kill Itachi, he needs to become more powerful. Should he seek Orochimaru?
I can hardly hear you say what should I do while you choose
Oh
Look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Or... Should he go back to Konoha?
Oh, well
It seems like such fun until you
Lose what you had won
That would be a step backwards, though, wouldn't it be? After all, neither Itachi nor Orochimaru was in Konoha, so what was dragging him back there?
Flashes of people's faces blurred his eyes and mind as he shook his head viciously. Girl's voices filled his head as he saw Ino and Sakura... Only to be replaced by Naruto, claiming that he would be Hokage. He heard the rustle of book pages as he caught a glimpse of Kakashi, forever enthralled with Icha Icha Paradise. His head cleared for a moment as he recalled the day he, Sakura, and Naruto passed Kakashi's rigorous task of collecting the bells in a display to show them teamwork.
Teamwork.
"I just miss them, that's all." Sasuke scoffed, jumping down from the trees for a moment's break. "It'll pass. This is the right thing to do."
Oh
Look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
"...They wouldn't take me back anyway."
A fool of everyone
"Yeah..."
A fool of everyone
Even as he spoke the words, Sasuke's feet spun him around in the direction of Konoha.

To do
Sakura smiled sadly and picked up the photograph of Team Seven, her eyes lingering on Sasuke as they filled with tears again. "He's not coming back," She whispered quietly.
Oh
Look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well
It seems like such fun until you
Lose what you had won
Sasuke ran as fast as he could. It had been two weeks since his sporadic decision and, with his head cleared and his mind set, he had been traveling at a much faster pace. It would probably only take him a week to get to Konoha. As he ran, he could only think of more reasons to come back, and willed himself to run faster.
Oh
Look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
"Oy! Sasuke-kun!" Someone called from the trees. Four shuriken rushed from a thick part of the forest, closely followed by three kunai hitting every fatal spot on his body. In his hastiness, he hadn't noticed the enemy village's ninjas come up to the side of him.
A fool of everyone
-Three and a Half Weeks Later-
Sakura walked mutely around Konoha, willing for something or someone to give her something to do. As if on cue, Kakashi appeared suddenly next to her. "Sakura..." He greeted her quietly.
"Is Sasuke back!" She asked excitedly, knowing that some Jounin had gone searching for him out of desperation to keep Orochimaru unarmed with ninja.
"Not exactly... Sakura, we found Sasuke's body."
A fool...
"His..."
"He was facing Konoha, though, and we found his tracks going the opposite direction and then doubling back."
"You mean..."
Of
Eve-ryone
"He was trying to come home."
Wrote this like... Two weeks ago; just now got the courage to post it. Yeah, I know, it sucks, but come on, don't blame me for trying. Yes, I also know that this isn't altogether accurate, that Sasuke couldn't kill Gaara and Naruto had to fight, and he didn't take off... At least the Hokage really did die, right? XD So I switched some stuff, no flames about me ignoring something! Oh, and the song is "Look What You've Done" by Jet, which I do not own, and I do not own the talented cast of Naruto.
