A/N: I present the final chapter of Nobody's Perfect! (I can't help but wonder if there are people that feel relieved about this after the last couple of chapters.)
However, this is in my opinion, the best chapter yet! I REALLY, REALLY like the ending!
Disclaimer: By now you should know that I don't own Naruto.
Enjoy chapter 7, the final chapter!
Chapter 7/epilogue?
A month had passed since Naruto's passing.
Sasuke woke. Only dreary clouds shone upon him.
Because there was no sun. (At least not for the past month.)
He still was used to, and had not forgotten, the warmth he had once woken to. He felt it, and looked up. There was nothing but his (previously Naruto's) headboard. He found himself, for the umpteenth time, snuggling his pillow. A couple of tears fell down his face, reminded that he'd never awake to the blonde's smiling face again. Damn it, why did he have to finally start to achieve happiness and then have it torn away from him?
He'd been wishing that Naruto's smiling ghost would appear and talk to him, just like in those stories where one's loved one died. That's what should have happened.
But this was not a story. This was not fiction. This was the real world.
He started considering doing it, what he'd tried not too long ago, the new thing he'd remember in his dreams. (Aside from his clan's massacre, that is. He still was occasionally plagued with thoughts of that.)
-Flashback-
He choked back tears, a kunai to his throat. After all, what was the point of living? He was weak, outmatched by not only his brother, but the Academy's worst student. Because he was weak, he was not needed. Just as he was about to thrust the kunai into his throat, his sensei just HAD to walk in.
"Sasuke!"
Another failure.
-End flashback-
It was a failure. It didn't matter that he tried, what mattered was succeeding. It didn't matter that he tried to win his brother's affection or his father's recognition. Hell, it didn't matter if he tried to win his whole damn family's recognition. They were all dead. It didn't matter that he tried to avenge his clan. He just wound up in the hospital. It didn't matter that he had or ever will try, because he has and always will fail. The only success was in death.
Was Naruto's death a result of success?
Not all deaths, however, are the result of success, but also the result of failure. There is no success, then, as it is impossible to tell. But that also didn't matter, and it is one thing Sasuke has to learn.
And maybe, just maybe, when that day comes, the sun will shine upon him once again.
A/N: Yay, a good chapter! I hope you all enjoyed the story! I really like the ending, please tell me what you think!
(I know the flashback sucked. I tried.)
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed, again! Please, oh pretty please, review!
That's all for now!
