Whoo! Something else posted. Yes this used to be the fic. 'Emotions', but I changed it into a collection of drabbles and one-shots. Yes the title may change. Yes, these drabbles may have pairings, slash and non-slash.

Warnings: None really. Spoilers, I guess.

Theme: Teacher (yes, random themes. Feel free to suggest themes for future drabbles)

Disclaimer: Don't own, never will.

"past statements"


Sasuke entered his chambers and slowly collapsed onto his bed. Training with Orochimaru had been harsh that day.

Orochimaru was not a gentle, understanding instructor. He didn't pull a single punch and during the entire session, he taunted Sasuke.

"And I thought you were powerful. Your punches are pathetic. Weak."

"Did you know your precious friend, Naruto, is being trained by Jiraiya?. I bet he'll surpass you much faster now."

"Itachi could defeat you in under three minutes."

Sasuke growled in frustration and rolled over to slam his fist into the pillow. Flames of anger heated his blood and he felt the curse seal pulse. Taking deep breaths, Sasuke got up to shower.

He would need to get to bed soon if tomorrow would be anything like today.

Orochimaru may have had less patience than Kakashi, but he had more power and strength to pass on.

And, in the end, that's really all Sasuke wanted.


Not much. Short too. Less than 200 words, I think.

Later.
