Sasuke.

In the last letter I wrote to you (It never got sent, just like this one never will) I said I was the only one protecting you from many things. I was wrong, I'm sorry.

It was revealed there'd been a dark shadow watching your back all along, and in the end, it nearly pains me to admit that I wasn't the one to save you from Orochimaru.

But Goddamit man, are you holding that against me or something?

It's simply not entering my brain why the hell you haven't come back yet.

So your brother loved you after all. Rejoice. Be happy. So he did all that to avoid another war from happening, to save Konoha, to protect the peace. He was a hero, and you can celebrate that. But seriously dude, what you can't do is suddenly decide you were getting your revenge with the wrong person, and start all fucking over again!

The only thing I can think of, is how fucking proud the Uchiha would be.

Yes, another mistake I made in my previous letter. I assumed those people had a goddamn heart. Sorry Sasuke, but c'mon, what kind of parent makes their teenage son a fucking spy, and the catalyst of a great ninja war? What kind of parent would put the pride of their clan before the happiness and security of their children?

Sasuke, after all those times you called me an idiot, and I called you a bastard, I am now completely convinced of something.

You're the idiot, not me.

And man, you've betrayed me.

I kept faith in you, I still do. I won't ever stop, that's for sure.

But I just…god, you're starting to make me lose my spirit. What use does it have to bring you back, now that the only thing that you'll meet in Konoha is your fate?

Sasuke, if I bring you back you'll only find your execution.

Can you remember how you felt when your brother, your beloved, only brother, suddenly became your enemy? Konoha's enemy. A missing nin. An Akatsuki. Someone whom you must fight, hate, kill. Can you recall that feeling?

Cause damn it you asshole, that's what you did to me.

You joined fucking Akatsuki.

You're hell-bent on destroying Konoha.

You tried to kill Sakura!

You're supporting the same organization of nutcases that flattened Konoha earlier, that nearly murdered Tsunade-baa, that nearly murdered Kakashi-sensei, and so many others. That nearly killed Hinata.

The same organization whose only goal it is to suck the Kyuubi out of me, killing me in the progress. Will you try to kill me, Sasuke?

I wonder what kind of fairytale this would become then.

Imagine the princess suddenly getting up, just as the knight reaches her, grabbing a knife and stabbing it through his chest.

Somehow I can't picture the sleeping beauty do that.

And for years, I firmly couldn't picture you doing something like that either. I was so sure. And no I don't know anymore. I don't know if you'll try to kill me.

Frankly, I don't care.

Sasuke, I… I'm a patient knight, but we've gotta draw some limits somewhere, don't we?

Sasuke, If you go on like this I won't be able to save you, you know, and Itachi isn't here to do it for me this time either.

Sasuke, I won't ever stop trying to save you, but…

You're going to force me to kill you. And that'll be the only thing I'll be able to do to save you, won't it? I'm starting to believe you just won't be able to stop rampaging, and that there's this part inside of you screaming, begging, for someone to stop you.

I don't think you can live with yourself much longer.

Sasuke, I'll save you.

But if that means having to kill you…God, how am I supposed to do that? After I kill the most important bond I have? After I kill you, and give up everything I believe in- what am I going to do?

But though I don't have the sharingan, I can see already. I can see perfectly.

And I know.

And this fairytale just transformed into something horribly beautiful. Like Shakespeare, you know? One big pile of tragedy and mixed feelings, with just one background. Love.

Itachi loved you, you loved your brother, and Goddamit Sasuke, I love you.

So I write my last letter, to the greatest idiot I have ever known, and I just hope I'm wrong.

I hope I'm the idiot.

Cause Sasuke, I don't know if you've ever read Shakespeare, but main characters don't get a nice ending over there. Princesses and their knights don't live happily ever after.

Sasuke, they die.
