"Sasuke!"
I paused. I didn't want to turn around. I already knew what I would see. How long had he been chasing me anyway? Why wouldn't he gust give up?
I don't want to be saved. Couldn't he see that? I've tried to kill him so many times now, and he still persists. What did I do to deserve this?
"What do you want?" I asked coldly. I know my tone wont dissuade him but I have to try.
"For you to come home." he said immediately. Like I knew he would.
"And what home is that? What do I have left? Itachi is dead, you killed Danzo yourself, the village wants my head on a plater for betraying them, what reason do I have for going back?"
"You didn't betray the village. The third asked you to locate the hidden sound and you agreed, but the curse seal was too much to control so you staid to learn how, so when you came back you wouldn't be a danger to others. However when Orochimaru got word on Itachi you left the snake and went after him.
"Thats all. Thats what the village will be told. And you never gave away ant secrets, not that you had any to give, but the fact is a genin can not be charged with more than unauthorized absents. You can sill come home!" he pleaded.
I had to admit it was a good story. But it was still wrong.
"You don't get it do you! What is left for me there? I have nothing left! My family is gone, my brother is dead. Everyone else only wants me back because of my blood line and even Kakashi gave up on me!"
"But I never did!" he yelled. "I never, ever, gave up on you! I'm here aren't I? Doesn't that mean anything to you? Do I mean so little to you?" he whispered.
I didn't know what to say. He had never asked me that before. What did he meant to me? Before I could really think of an answer he was talking again.
"I wont lie to you, it wont be easy coming back. A lot of the villagers where really mad and scared when you left. It will take time for them to accept everything. But you wont be alone. I wont let you be alone ever again. You have me, Sakura, Kakashi, grandma Tsunade, hell even Gaara, and so many others.
You have so many hands reaching out to help you, wont you take just one? Wont you just let at least one person help you? Or at the very least let someone stand by you so your not alone?"
The look in his eyes, the pleading sound of his voice, the unshed tears in his eyes, and the hand reaching out to me, combined to make my heart thump. I wanted to take his hand, but… I knew if I let him in he would just leave me to save himself. I was drowning in darkness, and if I let him in he would leave or follow me to the grave. But he was stubborn. I've tried to tell him before, but he wouldn't listen.
"I don't care if you think I can't handle it." he said breaking into my thoughts.
"What?"
"You think your too far gone." he said reading my mind. With every word my eyes widened a little more.
"You think you can't be saved. That you will only take your would-be savour down with you. And you might. For someone to be saved, it takes someone reaching out to them, but it also takes someone reaching back. I can't save you unless you let me. Please Sasuke, you really don't have to be alone anymore." he said taking a few steps closer to me, his hand still reaching.
I noticed that despite having kept it up for a minute that it was steady. That was so like him. He was always sure of what he did, never let himself have doubts.
Moving slowly I reached out my own hand. Unlike him I was shaking. I paused with my hand in the air. Could I really do this? Could I let him in? My fingers curled and I was going to put my hand down when I felt strong fingers wrap around my hand.
Looking up I saw the stark contrast of out skin. My pale hand held in his tan one. Looking up into his eyes was one of the hardest things I think I've ever done.
Again I noticed that he held no doubt. He was smiling at me and the tears I saw before where flowing now, but I could tell he was happy.
I was amazed. Had I really meant so much to him? So much that just taking my hand had brought him to tears? How could he care so much after all I've done?
I could feel my body begin to shake all over. When I felt the unfamiliar prickle in the back of my eyes I looked back down to out hands, my hair offering itself as a pathetic shield.
I would not cry now. I had not cried since I killed Itachi and I vowed never to again. But when I felt him reach around me, felt him pull me closer I knew it was a lost cause.
"Its ok to cry. Crying doesn't mean your weak, it means that you care,care so much that you can't keep it inside." he whispered, and that was it. I buried my face further into his shoulder and I cried.
He let me cry till I couldn't stand on my own, and then he gently set us down and pulled me into his lap. I don't know how long we stayed like that, but it must have been a long time.
And he never said a word. Finally after what felt like days, I whispered "I want to go home." I didn't even have to look to know he was smiling.
"Alright Sasuke. Lets go home."
I woke to tears on my face, and a knocking on my door. "Sasuke, you alright? I made dinner it you want some." my mother called.
"I'm fine mom. Just tired." I paused not sure is I wanted to ask if Naruto had been by, but decided to let it go for now. I didn't really want to see him yet.
"I'll be down in a minute." I finally said.
"Take as much time as you need." she said and I heard footsteps leading away. I got up and quickly jumped into the bathroom. I washed my face of the remnants of tears. As the water dripped down my face I got a look at my reflection.
I looked like a mess. My eyes where red and I was paler that normal. My hands would not stop shaking and I though I could see a hint of panic in my red eyes. I could not go down like this. They may not be real but they where my family.
"Sasuke?" mother called.
"I'll be down in a bit, I really need a shower. Go ahead and eat." I yelled.
"Alright. Yell if you need anything."
"K!"
I reached over to turn the water on and thought about what I was going to tell Naruto. I knew that I couldn't put things off for long but I needed more time.
