Disclaimer: I don't know own any Naruto characters…..Only my OC's that I put in my stories. Just thought I should start putting up these thingys….

----"Everyone has their flaws…..They just pay attention to mine more."----

Everyone. Everybody.

Everyone has their flaws. We all have our own flaws.

They just pay attention to mine. You just pay attention to mine, rather than your own.

They can't see…… You don't see……

They're hurting me! You're killing me!

I jolted up into a sitting position. 'There goes my sleep again…..' "Stupid nightmares……. Ow……" I winced and rubbed my bandaged sides, where I got injured the day before on an S-rank mission. I sighed after the pained in my sides subsided a bit and managed to get out of bed without having the pain come back.

"Why must you torment me in my dreams also?" I questioned to no one but the air as I changed out of my sleeping wear and into my usual training outfit.

"I refuse to spar with them, Kakashi." I stated crossing my arms in front of my chest and looking off to the side. Again, I failed to tell him of my injuries from my mission. "Hadassah…..if you don't do the spar training with them, how will they ever know your strength?" Kakashi tried to reason with me. "Must I always repeat myself? I. Won't. Fight. Unless. I. Know. Someone. Is. In. Actual. Danger." I said slowly and clearly to stress out my point. I side-way glanced at Kakashi. "Did I make myself clear that time?" I asked him, looking him square in the eye.

Kakashi sighed, "Sometimes, Hadassah, I wonder if you should be the sensei instead of me….." Kakashi turned to the other three. "Fine, you don't have to spar, but the rest of you, Naruto, still do." And with that Kakashi tool out his latest version of the 'Ichi Ichi Paradise' novel.

"But Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto started to whine. "Naruto vs. Sasuke. Sakura faces winner." Kakashi stated, completely ignoring Naruto's attempts to get out of sparring as well. Naruto groaned as he and Sasuke took their stances in the middle of the training clearing.

Kakashi leaned against the nearest tree to him, which is where Sakura and I sat underneath. "Begin." Kakashi yelled out to the two and the fight really started. I watched the two boys fighting. "Kakashi, do you really think it wise to pit those two against one another so soon?" I questioned the copy-nin standing next to my sitting form. "What ever do you mean?" He countered me with a question of his own, his eyes never once leaving the pages of his book. Sakura looked at me with concern and worry. I sighed and closed my eyes to block out the images of the two teens fighting.

"Kakashi-kohai….Your team may be back together, but their hearts have changed. Even your own heart has betrayed you, has it not?" I said solemnly. Kakashi closed his book and put it back in his shuriken pouch. And then looked down at me.

"Kohai?" Sakura asked, "But you never did anything on missions with us." She whispered. "Hadassah-chan…….." Kakashi stretched out my name, "I totally forgot about your clan's abilities." Kakashi said with what seemed like a smile. "Her clan abilities?" Sakura questioned to no one in particular.

"Hai, one of my kekkai genkais is I can see into people's souls and hearts. I can see their desires, hatred, love, and fear, everything Sakura-chan."

'………..everything Sakura-chan……' Those words lingered in the pink-haired teen's mind.

My eyes snapped open and with my demonic speed, I disappeared. "Where'd she go, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked, not knowing what just happened. Kakashi only pointed to where the two boys were fighting. Sakura turned her head and gasped at what she saw.

I stood there in-between Naruto and Sasuke; holding their wrists. On my left hand, some of the electricity coming from Sasuke's Chidori burned my flesh. And on my right, Naruto's Rasengan wasn't any less painful; it was probably worse. I didn't dare let go of either of them, not even after their ninjustus died out. No, my grip only tightened.

Naruto stared at me with wide eyes, and Sasuke just glared at me. I glanced at Sasuke out of the corner of my eye. "Glare all you want, Sasuke, but it doesn't make a difference." I stated anger apparent in my usual solemn voice.

"Hadassah-chan…….When did you become this…….this strong?" Naruto asked in awe. "Tsh………I've always been this strong, I just never thought it important to fight without real reason." I snapped at him.

"Let go of me, Hadassah-chan…." I turned to face Sasuke. "You're the only one blocking me from my goal." Sasuke hissed at me.

I let go of Naruto, but not Sasuke. I, for the first time in a long time, glared at someone; at Sasuke. "Me? Blocking you from your goal? What goal? Your ambition to kill Itachi-kun? To avenge our clan?!" I snapped at him, venom dripping off of every word. He stayed silent, so I continued. "It's been six fucking years since you told us that! Six fucking years! And in that time you betrayed Kohona, spent two damn years with the snake-sage, betrayed me just to become strong enough to kill Ita-kun! And yet you haven't!"

I looked him in the eyes. Everything within his cold heart was so clear to me that it hurt me; it hurt to know that I could see what he tried so hard to hide, to forget, to deny. "You may not want to show it, Sasuke-kun. But I see it; I see it in your heart……." "You see nothing……" Sasuke interrupted, knowing full well that I can and I do.

Sasuke tried to punch me in order for me to let go. Within a second I had him on his stomach, pinned to the ground with me on top of him. The wrist I held was now yanked up behind him, my grip tighter than before.

"You say I see Nothing! But I see everything, every fucking little thing. You couldn't hide it from me. You may say you hate your brother so much; and that may be so, but you can't deny the part of you that still loves him as a brother…" I hissed at him at first, but slowly dropped back to my solemn voice.

"Shut up! Just SHUT UP!" Sasuke yelled; eyes closed tight. "I…….I hate people like you, Sasuke-kun. You hide and deny yourself because you don't want to look weal. You think others are weak for showing emotion, for admitting their flaws. And you wanted power to avenge our clan….but look at you now. Do you truly think your mother would have wanted you to become like…..like this?! Do you still think I'm weak and pathetic now because I still refuse to fight?! Am I still weak because I have emotions?! Am I really the weakest one here because I admit I have my flaws?! Am I utterly that weak because I love?!" I yelled at Sasuke, my voice echoed those last words throughout the clearing.

Sasuke was silent. He didn't know what to say.

I glared at his back. I slowly got off of him and walked away from him, from Naruto and Sakura, from Kakashi. I walked away without saying another word; I didn't want to say anything else. I had nothing left to say to them, to him.

The others watched my retreating back in shock. No one ever thought I could sound so hateful, so angry, so much in pain. Sasuke slowly stood up, glaring at the ground. "I…….I HATE YOU, Hadassah-chan! You don't know what losing the people closest to you feels like! You don't know what loneliness really is!" Sasuke yelled out to my leaving form.

Naruto couldn't hold in his anger any longer. He marched up to Sasuke and punched him square in the face. Sasuke fell to the ground and looked up at Naruto.

"You…….Don't you ever speak to Hadassah-chan like that, you asshole! She knows what losing loved ones feels like more than anyone! She knows all too well what loneliness is and what it feels like to live in a kind of hell that you have no clue of Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, clutching his fists and glaring down at the Uchiha teen.

"Naruto-kun……" Sakura whispered softly. She's never seen Naruto like this, where his eyes held so much sadness displeasure. "Come on, Naruto-kun…….Let's go get some ramen." Sakura said as she gently grabbed Naruto's arm and softly tugged him away, but not before giving the Uchiha a hateful look. Something the Uchiha teen didn't expect to receive from her.

Kakashi walked passed Sasuke and stopped. "I'm a bit disappointed in you, Sasuke. You of all people should have known……Hadassah knows more than anyone what you're going through." Kakashi said and then disappeared in a puff of smoke; leaving Sasuke by himself.

Sasuke sat there. Guilt, regret, and sorrow plagued him. He slowly brought his hands up to his face and began to weep.

He wept for what seemed like days, but was only two hours. Suddenly, he felt arms wrap themselves around his sides and a head rested on his shoulder. "Sasuke-kun………Why do you cry for me?" The voice of the one he knew he had hurt whispered softly in his ear. He let his hands fall limp at his sides.

"Hadassah-chan………..please, forgive me." His voice was cracked and trembling. My eyes soften; it always pains me to see him or Itachi in pain or trouble. "Sasuke-kun……" I muttered softly.

'I've finally realized what my dreams meant…..why you always haunted them, Sasuke-kun…..the dreams…..I was never in them……only you…..My dreams were my way of seeing through you eyes…..'

"Sasuke-kun, you were already forgiven the day you returned to me……" I whispered as I embraced him tighter.

My flaw is that I love you. Your flaw is that you love me.

But I accept my flaw. And you just realized yours.

I see and know your flaw. But do you accept you flaw?

It doesn't matter. As long as you know…

It has never mattered. I love you, I'm fine with that.

Yes, Everyone. Yes, Everybody.

Yes, everyone has their flaws. Yes, we all have our own flaws.

And yes, they pay attention to mine more. Yes, even you have.

But it's only because. But that's only because.

I see my flaw. You see my flaw…

As what it really is. As something more, something better.

My special ability. My unique…….Beauty.
