AN: Hi, just a short oneshot I wrote regarding recent chapters of Sasuke's fate. As you can tell it's really not Sakura more like my feeling being projected from her. I wish cannon Sakura acted more like this instead of a ditz. But whatever enjoy!
Everyone thought it would be easy. It would be easy to pretend. Pretend that perhaps it is easy to let the by gones be by gones. But how could I forget those eyes which made me shuddered and close my eyes as tears dropped down my face -as if to accept my solemn fate. My fate to be killed by one beloved teammate where I could not succeed, he would. He would kill without a second doubt and without a single regret. Yes, the war is over, everything is the way it should be. But what about those bonds severed and forgotten-that trust so easily broken?
Am I supposed to welcome you back with open arms? Like everyone expected for Sakura to be the first to smile and welcome you back? But what about that day? What if the previous Hokages never convinced you and what if you never stood by me and fought. Would you have listened to reason if it was me telling you otherwise or even Naruto? Would you have even given us a second glance ? Funny isn't it when you listen to the advice of strangers when that same advice your teammates have constantly preached all along. I wonder what made their words any different. I almost sound bitter don't I ?
So what now? Now that you have fought and won. What's your goal now ? What do you have to live for? Hokage,I hope you never see that title because that position is the epitome of trust and you,Sasuke kun,have played mine like a drum. But over time as wounds heal I would learn to forgive and perhaps play that role of a friend. But would I ever forget? No, because that day still rings true in my head as you laughed manically with blooding coursing down your face and it still rings true through my nightmares. And I wake up every day and pasture a smile to my face and play that role of a friend ... So as you travel through that journey repairing the bonds and restoring your life I pray that's all you will ever be. Just a friend. Because to be a lover you must have trust and faith, of which you will never earn of mine ever again.
