Ā Ā Through the years, loneliness was evident through the Uchihaās childhood and adolescence, setting his mindset into a downward spiral of sadness, a yearning to be happy, and also the grief of losing practically all he has truly ever known, his family. Always keeping to himself due to these stubborn feelings, Sakura easily noticed the far too obvious conflict storming through him---almost as if he had a war inside his own mind, a personal hell. As children, she always had harvested a deep fascination for him, always wanting to get acknowledgement and approval from him, going by great lengths in order to get him to even speak to her. It wasnāt until team 7 had formed did the medicās love for him officially grow and prosper in a more mature sense. No longer did she experience that silly crush for him like she did during the academy, no. She genuinely loved him, only wanting the best for him because of what he has gone through in his past.Ā
Ā Ā Certainly that would take a toll on anyone, having to witness so much bloodshed and the demise of your own family members---each and every one of them, at that. His whole demeanor changed after their untimely death, but more importantly, since his disappearance from Konohagakure. Often thinking of himself as something similar to the epitome of revenge and destruction, forever having that notion plague his mind even after knowing the full truth about his brother. Even so, feelings of revenge seemed to have carried upon his shoulders regardless. Perhaps there were bits and pieces of his woe that went away, but the scars behind the truth and his past still forever lingered, piercing---these emotions feelingĀ like a sharp blade going through his flesh. It was almost as if nothing, absolutely nothing can get through to him.
Ā Ā That is, until realization clicked in his mind, what he has is simply standing right in front of him. Immediately causing those emotions to be set aside, the little piece of sunlight she carries filling the dark void inside of him-----her.Ā
Ā Ā āPlease, please promise to never leave again---ever.ā She would beg Sasuke through muffled sobs, not helping the tears shed upon a desolate face. Her free hand would come into grasp between the fabrics of the cloak he wore, gripping the fibers out of sheer melancholy, she would whisper desperately.Ā āJust stay, with me . . please. .āĀ Emeralds eventually met those of dismal onyx, those pleading words bringing a vague memory of their childhood---when she noticed him leaving the village, crying out desperately for him to stay.
Ā Ā All she wanted was to merely r e s c u e Sasuke of the darkness dwelling within. The last thing she would want was for him to get into any trouble due to these emotions, or even death for that matter. Truly, revenge and destruction is not all he is familiar with----deep down, there were feelings of a much greater paramount he kept deep inside for much too long.Ā
