After the Storm.

Sasuke.

"Then I guess that we'll just have to break that bond won't we?" The words that I have spoken echo throughout my brain a thousand times always on a loop. I couldn't kill him, no matter what the others thought, I couldn't kill him.

I slam my fist against the ground in agony. Why oh why did I let myself come to this? I'm becoming such a loser like Naruto.

Why did I let myself fall in love with him? Why was it that he had to kiss me that first time in class?

I know he loves Hinata, there is not a chance in hell that he'd return my feelings, so why? Why do I do this to myself?

I never meant to go with Orochimaru's plans, bit what was I supposed to do? I act so hostile towards him just to hide this pounding heart.

But, then again he did come all this way just to come and save me from myself, he clearly valued our friendship; he even went as far to say that I was like a brother to him.

God damnit! Am I really so Naiive as to go back and tell him how I feel? Hmpf, what have I come to?

I set off running towards the waterfall, knocking over bushes and branches in attempt to get there in time.

But instead, I find nothing. He has left.

"Damnit! Damnit! DAMNIT!" There is only one more place where he could have gone.

"Don't worry Naruto, I'm coming."

Authors Side Note: And the ship sails onward! I wrote this while listening to the Vocaloid song "Lie" by Megurine Luka, and after Naruto's and Sasuke's fight in episode 134. Three-shot.
