Sasuke Uchiha

Gaara

"Naruto." I replied coolly.

"Teme..." Naruto said staring at me, "What are you doing here?"

Team Kakashi was here. Reunited. But not in the way I wanted, not yet.

I stared at him coldly, "The Akatsuki kidnapped the Tailed Beast. My older brother is in the Akatsuki "

Inside it hurt to call Gaara a tailed beast in such......a cold way. He was my friend.

"So you don't care?!" Asked Naruto in a yell, "You don't care for Gaara?! Revenge this, revenge that! Stop it! Come back!"

Naruto extended a hand, "Come back..."

'Naruto...I told you before not to push me away because I wouldn't come back...' I thought sadly.

Outwardly I scowled and smacked his hand away, "I don't have time for this. Sakura!"

Said pinkette shyly walked towards me.

"Sasuke-kun..." She said softly, "I...don't care if you're a girl! I love you."

Me? I'm straight. Don't know about you but...

I almost anime fell.

"I don't know whether I love you romantically or not but...I love you." She clarified, "Whether a sister, friend or lover I don't know nor do I care. I love you, please come back."

I eyed her. She had grown so much from that whiny fangirl....she's not done growing yet.

"Hn. Tend to Kankuro." I said emotionlessly.

"Sasuke." Kakashi called as he walked towards me.

"Kakashi...no Kakashi-sensei." I mocked, "What's your excuse now? Are you sorry for running after me too late? Or sorry for not guiding me early enough? Tch. All you did was make me weak."

'I hate this....I hate pretending to be someone I'm not.' I thought frustratedly.

My ghost fiancé gave me a sad but encouraging smile, "This must be hard...but please persevere! You can do it!"

Kakashi looked so so sad, my words must've hurt him.

"I have no excuse...I failed as your sensei." Kakashi told me, "but, as your sensei I will bring you back to Konoha myself so you can pay for your crimes!"

I scoffed, "Tch. As if you could."

"Oi brat! How can I beat you if you're a rogue?" A familiar cow asked.

"Sasuke-San....come back." Haku pleaded.

My eyes widened, Haku? Zabuza? Here?

"No," I said harshly, "I won't be coming back...until I have Itachi's head on a platter!"

Nope. Never, the whole point of this is quite the opposite!

I'm trying to save Itachi!

"I have no time for this." I clicked my tongue, "And your jinchuriki friend doesn't have much time either."

I ran off towards Sasori and Deidara's chakra signature.

"Teme!!"

"Sasuke!"

"Sasuke-kun!"
