If Only I could have spent a little more time with you.
I do not own Naruto.
''Sasuke?'' His mother's face stares back at him. Sasuke is too shocked to say something.
The woman frowns. ''Is everything all right?''
Sasuke still doesn't move. The woman's face shows her confusion. Her black hair follows her movements as she makes her way up the stairs. She stops in front of him.
This...
She touches his cheek in other to get his attention. Her hand feels warm.
''Is something wrong, Sasuke?'' She looks into his eyes. Her eyes are nothing like they were that night when he found her and his father on the ground in their own blood.
This is his mother!
Sasuke is still frozen as his mother gets more worried.
''Sasuke can you hear me?''
He forgot how she looked. He couldn't picture her face after all those years. It is not like he had photographs while training with Orochimaru. The only image he could never forget about her was the one Itachi showed him, where he killed her. When he was still in Konoha he also couldn't look at the photographs. It hurt too much.
''Sasuke?'' She has taken a hold of his shoulders and shakes him lightly.
He had forgotten how she sounded.
''Mom...'' He whispers softly.
His mothers face shows relief that he finally responds. But she looks worried again as tears flow from Sasuke's eyes over his cheek on the ground. He hasn't cried since he heard the truth about Itachi. It all is too much. His mother who died all those years ago is here in front of him, alive.
I can see her.
I can hear her.
I can feel her!
Slowly Sasuke moves his trembling small arms around his mother's neck.
I can touch her!
He burrows his face against her.
I can smell her.
She is alive! This is real! She is alive!
The dam breaks and he cries. All his confused mother can do is hold him tightly.
He didn't know how much he missed her.
