Chapter 10 Goodbye
Sasuke hated goodbyes. They meant something was over. Whether it was saying goodbye for a big reason or a little one, he still hated it.
There was one exception though. He did want to say goodbye to his family, his clan.
He never got the chance. He wished he could have. If he had just given his mom a hug, his dad a 'good morning'.
It would have made things so much easier in his life.
But things were not easy. Things did not get easy.
Sasuke knew this. And this is part of why he did not like to say goodbye.
It meant the end of something. Something little, something big, he would not say goodbye. It was interesting in an introspective way.
It was something beyond a simple imagination. It took ingenuity. It took the brains to figure out a complex strategy, an insane mind. A genius simply put.
And he did not want to bother. Just seeing the warped face, covered in blood, made him want to stop. But he did not want to bother with something that seeing a dead body covered in blood was nothing compared to.
It was too much trouble. It was a waste, anyways. And now saying goodbyes seemed a bit better. But even then, Sasuke still did not like saying goodbyes.
Never would. Never wanted to. It made sense to not enjoy saying goodbye. In a sick, twisted way.
It seemed kind of awkward to run from all of his problems, yet still hate saying goodbye.
He thought it was twisted but then again he was the one who was twisted, so you wouldn't want to trust what he thought anyways.
And now, here he was, again, contradicting himself.
He always contradicted himself.
It was just the way that he worked.
He worked in odd ways, as he was constantly reminded by others around him.
He knew this too. And it was a fact of life. Just like a whole lot of other things. It's not like it made a difference, anyways.
Now, all he had to do was finish all of his other goals. And even then he had to say goodbye. Say goodbye to that murder. That man. His brother. Itachi.
Damn. Here he was back at square one again. It seemed like no matter what he tried, he failed.
Why did everything always go in a circle and make him restart again?
Why couldn't everything just work the way he wanted and intended them too?
Now, Sasuke had a good reason to hate saying goodbye.
