I do not own Naruto

This came to me as I finally watched the episode where Sasuke returns to the scene this week...

I know not many probably saw what I did. Still I hope you all like it. Consider this something of a sequel to Two Dreams the song is from another anime called Rayearth and it is called Lullaby.

This is NOT a crossover! As with Two Dreams I ask you to ignore the lyrics but to think of the meaning behind them.

Sasuke's thoughts and memories

The views of others except Naruto

The Song

Naruto

Sasuke

Lullaby

Sasuke Uchiha has two dreams. Both are still there, but one is dying slowly as the other grows stronger. Yet it lingers as it fights.

You are like the fast wind,

That sweeps across the surface of the ocean,

Memories hit him as one from Konoha approaches speaking of bonds that...that the brother he longs for fights so desperately to keep.

"It is true I was sent to kill you. But Naruto and Sakura spoke to me of bonds and their desire to keep the ones they have with you! I will fight! I will fight to support that dream! The newcomer known only as Sai stated as he held his sword out against him.

And all the dreams you have always taken care of,

By infinite rays of the sun.

An explosion, Sakura runs out. Still with that same feisty nature, he remembers barely from so long ago. He calls her name, she turns.

"S..Sasuke-kun"

He sees the hope, and the desire that still resides in her heart after all these years. It is not the same fangirl crush he remembers. It is of a young woman who has grown into her own, for he also sees unlike before. A willingness to beat the shit out of him now, rather then defend him as she has done long ago.

And now as I see you,

Your back is turned to me but you are reaching

Pointing towards the future

Both your wings are broken,

So why do you hide all your pain?

Naruto is rushing out now. That same ridiculous desire for orange still in his clothing, a part of him is glad that Naruto has grown some sense and ditched all orange. As before he calls out his name...

Blue eyes meet dark and narrow in anger.

He can not blame him.

"Why? Tell me...if bonds no longer mean anything you. Then why? Why didn't you kill me back then! Sasuke!"

The fact that the blonde remembers as fiercely as he does, a part of him grows hopeful and strong.

It is squashed by the other though. His voice comes out cold...harsh...alone.

"I spared you, because at the time I chose not to follow my brother's path."

Someone else has come out now. An older man who is not Kakashi-sensei, admittedly he is curious and wonders why the man is there. But to be honest he does not care. The ones that count are staring at him hurting that he will not come home.

Softly, let me wipe away your tears,

Softly, let me hold you in my arms,

Softly, let me comfort you,

Because I want to see you in your glory.

He leaps down to shock them at how strong he has become and to remind them that he will fight. Even though he hopes they do not.

"Rather then come after me, should you not be training." He states with finality as he withdraws his sword. The threat clear and intended as the others move for that split second chance to stop him from hurting Naruto. "After all you wish to become Hokage."

I'll give you, I'll give you,

If you choose to lay your head down,

All the dreams that you dream will live on,

I'll give you, I'll give you,

As if he would. He could not hurt the one, whose words have kept him sane all this time. Whose words have given him something akin to hope, that he was not alone. For he still remembers as well... a confession from that day

But this new one, the one that hits hard making him strike out of a need to get away. He is glad the other is here to prevent him from hurting his most precious friend as he prevents something else from within happening. He knows of his friend's secret, could not believe it, yet he fights to do something about it.

He squashes the Kyuubi before it can take control for now.

If you hold a heart that's true now,

Your love will return back to you,

I'll give you my love Lullaby!

He flees along with Orichamaru and Kabuto. Both men scolding him for the actions he has done, he says nothing and remains silent. For those words the blonde had told him bothered him.

"Can one become Hokage, when he can not even bring back his friend? Eh Sasuke?"

Sasuke Uchiha has two dreams. One is weakening as the other lingers.
