Confessions of an Avenger
7: A piece of me...
Excepting the devil's call I decided to leave for my best.
But that encounter with your sorrowful expression became an excruciating test.
I scolded you for prowling around in the middle of the night,
when actually I wanted to keep you away from blight.
You admitted that you had a premonition about my leave.
Why is it only you that I fail to deceive?
So you just waited?
Why? Were you that agitated?
Thus, for your own good, I ordered you to go back to sleep,
which you did not follow and asked questions that cut me deep.
Why won't I say anything to you?
Because all my emotions will break free if I do.
Why do I always keep so quiet?
Because I thought our stares express more of an insight.
I know I never say a single word to you,
because just a few words can't convey all my feelings for you.
Yes, I didn't want you to help.
Even if it hurt like a stinging skelp.
And asked you to don't look after me.
When honestly, I didn't want you to worry about me.
And yes! The first time we met, I was mad at you.
Because I disliked that fangirlish behaviour in you.
But that doesn't mean that I hate you...
as hatred is something I can never have for you...
Ofcourse I lied that I don't remember our first meeting.
I can never forget that day; I was merely deceiting.
You said that even if they were painful, you enjoyed those missions.
Same happened with me and I developed new relations.
That idiotic blonde became an ideal brother.
That perverted tutor became a protective father.
And you my caring teammate, became a reckless lover.
Can any of you ever be replaced? No...Never...
You even knew how my past had left me shattered.
So you must understand how much my revenge mattered.
I knew my revenge wouldn't bring me any happiness.
That it would only drown me more into darkness.
But that it would hurt you too, is something I did not suspect.
It brought a halt in my steps and made me reflect.
I know its hard to believe but I can't follow the same path as yours.
And although it is breaking me, it is necessary. So I'll have to endure.
It is something I made up my mind a long time ago.
And because of it everything else I'll have to forego.
Do I really want to go back to being alone?
No. But it's the only way for my skills to hone.
I remember telling you how painful it is.
But it is the price I'll have to pay for my crisis.
"...if you were to leave...I would be just as alone as you..."
I understand...but from here on we'll have to start anew.
"I...I love you with all my heart!..."
You do? Why? When all I've done till now is push you apart.
You even said there would be no regrets, with you if I stay.
That there would be something fun every single day.
And promised to help with my revenge in some way.
But since it is my burden, you have no say.
"I'll do anything for you..."
Bless me for my victory, will you?
"...and if you can't stay, then take me with you..."
Sorry, this is something only I am supposed to do.
You questioned, cried, requested and even confessed.
You did all this in a few minutes and you've left me messed.
So even if the thought of denying you is making me depressed,
To accomplish my duty, all my emotions— I repressed.
And smirked at you, repeating my saying:
"You really are annoying."
I made my way towards the gate,
because my leave was a part of fate.
You spoke again, only this time you threatened to scream.
I flashed behind you to put an end to our sentimental stream.
"Sakura, thank you." I spoke before making you black-out.
And caught your frail form in my arms as you passed-out.
In comparison to your affection, my word of gratitude was nothing.
But from my perception, in those two words I mentioned everything:
'Thank you for admiring me.
Thank you for always having faith in me.
Thank you for protecting me.
Thank you for caring about me.
Thank you for selflessly loving me.
Thank you for being here tonight for me.'
Placing your limp body in the night's hue.
I departed to rendezvous with that snake's crew.
And so, like two lovers were separated.
A tragic turn in our tale by which our feelings will be elevated.
Elevated...because now you are a piece of me...
The only piece that could ever complete me...
A/N: You must have realised by now that this verse is about the time when Sasuke is leaving the village. I tried to put together everything that must be going through a pre-teen's mind after making such a big decision.
Hope you guys liked it...:3
