Entry no. 17: Vengeance
My love and this chap to Rosebunse, a loyal reviewer. :) (No hate for those who aren't! Or those who would review if they could and so...)
P.S. I just overcame a writers block, so I might really make it to 50 oneshots! I'm still around the 30th, though... and there are 100 promtps.
Sakura sat on her heels, tampering with the papers set out in front of her.
She thumbed through the files absently, her mind focused on something completely different than studies.
Her mind was focused on Sasuke.
She couldn't help it; as much as she tried to push him away from her head, he kept on popping up.
He did it.
He left.
He betrayed Konoha.
And, in a way, he failed them all.
Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi... he failed everyone who put their hopes into him.
And why?
Because of a single thing.
It has been his purpose, the reason why he lived and fought since he was little.
It was his reason to get up every day, his reason to learn and improve.
In a way, it was that single thing that ruined his life, brought him to borders of sociopathy, made him try to stay independent on anyone else.
His illness and his remedy.
Vengeance.
A/N: This oneshot took me the most time I ever needed to come up with a proper idea and write it down. That's strange, because whole Sasuke's story is about vengeance and thus it shouldn't be so hard... but it was.
It's short, and it has to point and no end. Oh well. I'm getting worse and worse in writing oneshots.
