A/N: Sasuke's thoughts as he got back to Konoha… Please R&R

I am back… and… I already killed him...but I never felt happy about it… The truth is… I'm feeling empty…sad...

I'm wondering why…

Then I realized that I made myself realize that killing him is my purpose of living… And now he's gone… I wonder why I'm still standing around here…

Naruto and Sakura made me go back… They helped me…because I couldn't help my self…I'm suddenly useless and weak…all because I let the darkness live inside me…

I left this village… I left Konoha… I left everything that made me happy…

Now I'm back… but those things that can made me happy… is now gone… I was a fool for expecting that things would be the same after I abandoned everything for power… I was a fool…and now I'm covered with shame…

I know that I can't just take things back to the way they used to be…No matter how I try…No matter how sorry I am now…

Things wouldn't come back that easily to what they used to be…and there's no body to blame but me…

But…

Though I felt pathetic…I suddenly realized that there're big things that never changed for me…

Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi… They are still there for me…

Sakura… still loves me…

Naruto…still respect me as his brother…

Kakashi…still tries to be the father that I had lost…

I still have them…that's why I insist on living… That's why I'm still standing on here, breathing… That's why I'll keep on trying…harder and harder… until things get back to the way they are…

I will never give up… I'll start my own life again… Because they still trust me…I'm doing everything for them…

Yes…I'm a perfect example of how cruel things can be…

And I'll make sure…that I will be a perfect example…of a person who fell in the darkness but stood up and found the light…

I promise I will…for those who never turn their back on me… for my new found family that never leaves my side…for those who still trust me…

I will stand up high…and I'll make change…

After giving them shame…I'll make them proud of me…
