Pairing: Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura
Song: If I Can't Love Her
From: Beauty and the Beast: the Broadway Musical
By: Disney
Disclaimer: I do not own either Naruto or this song.
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness
He looked at himself in a mirror, he had changed. No longer was he the little boy who was easily tempted. No, he was now a man. He had changed, and not for the better.
And
from my tortured shape
No comfort, no escape
I see, but deep
within is utter blindness
He had been blind, he chose the wrong path, and it could not be undone. This is what he had become.
Hopeless
As
my dream dies
As the time flies
Love a lost
illusion
Helpless
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad
conclusion
Everything was gone for him, he had nothing left. He went to the only place he could go, Konoha.
No
beauty could move me
No goodness improve me
No power on earth,
if I can't love her
No passion could reach me
No lesson could
teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me too
If
I can't love her, then who?
He thought of everyone
there, and how they would have lived. Surely Naruto would have
realized Hinata's feelings by now. His thoughts then wandered on
the pink-haired kunoichi, how had she been? During the years he had
been gone, his mind occasionally wandered to her, and how she was
living.
He finally admitted it; he was in love with her. She was the only girl he would be that close to, and he wanted to see her again, if only for a moment.
Long
ago, I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless
and unthinking I moved onward
He should've stayed and trained there. He should've done that, but he decided to take the path for power. It was his hunger for power and hate for his brother that drove him to make the decision, and he deeply regretted it.
No
pain could be deeper
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore
if I can't love her
No spirit could win me
No hope left within
me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
His only goal now was to see her, and maybe –hopefully—return to the life he once knew. But that was impossible, so he just hoped for the best. Just maybe, she would still love him. She certainly did once in her life, and now he just realized he love her. He would not let her go again.
But
it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with
me.
There would be nothing left for him, if she was gone.
A/N: tears My first songfic! Ahh, I'm so proud of myself. This is probably the first semi-angst fic I've ever written. Wait... it is! It was inspired after I rewatched episode 109 while filling in any missing episodes I didn't watch (though I still ignored the fillers.) Let me say, episode 101 is still so funny! This takes place about three years or so after Sasuke left. It fits more if you imagine Itachi and Orochimaru dead.
