Dedicated to every reviewer and reader, you know who you are . I'm sorry that I didn't reply your reviews one by one, but I'm really really grateful of them.
Naruto is not mine. Beta provided by lovely Helgaleena and all the remaining mistakes are mine.
Colour Me Rainbow
I used to think that I'd be alone forever. Even when I was dreaming of being the next Hokage, I never imagined that there would be someone meant for me, standing tall and proud beside me. It's not that I gave up hoping for someone special, I just got real.
I realized that if I worked hard enough, if I could be a good enough ninja, then my dream of becoming a Hokage was not an impossible thing to reach. But to have someone important and precious to me, someone who could accept and love me for what I am, was another matter altogether.
If I was a canvas, I would be painted red from anger and hatred surrounding me all my life. And when I saw my reflection on the mirror, it was red all over, like I'd been drenched in a sea of blood and the colour wouldn't come out of me, no matter how hard I scrubbed it.
You were painted black, betrayed and left alone, full of grief, hate, and thirst for revenge. But, despite your darkness, you painted me with the whole spectrum of colours. Layer upon layer, the colours touched me and set me alight, and for the first time in my life, I hoped that my future would have you in it.
You could hurt me all you want, you could leave me behind, but you couldn't take back the colours that you'd painted me with. And that's why I will never forget you, Sasuke, even if it means that I live as a fool all my whole life.
Do you know, Sasuke? I had never experienced the blue of my eyes, the blond of my hair, the tan of my skin, or the myriad of colours that paint our world so vividly, until you came into my life like a burst of brilliant fireworks in the dark night sky, and coloured me into a rainbow.
FIN
So, this is the companion fic of The Beat that My Heart Skipped that I'd promised you a month ago. I hope it won't disappoint you, because I had quite a struggle to write this one, and I think that the final result isn't as good as The Beat that My Heart Skipped.
Happy White's Day!
