I'm back with what isn't my best story, but something I wanted to post. This was done at night while it was storming and I was bored out of my mind. I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...maybe Sasuke does...who knows. ^.~

Can rivalry ever turn into love?

I believe that through the years it has for myself. The bitter rivalry I used to feel between the two of us is no more. It only succeeded in making the both of us stronger, and causing me to see you in a whole new light.

My whole life I have felt hate and fear from everyone around me. There have been no parents there to guide me through life's hardships. I seek attention by pulling pranks and being the loudmouth everyone knows. You saw past all of this and seemed to know what I was really like on the inside because you ignored it all, but yet, saved me from so many dangerous situations.

I don't stand a chance though. You have so many admirers yet you ignore them all. Why? To be an avenger? Love isn't a weakness, but even if you knew that and threw all your cares away I'm sure I wouldn't be your first choice.

So why do I torture myself this way? Why don't I just give up hope and leave it be?

Because each time you save me I cherish the memory and it gives me hope that maybe someday Sasuke, you will love me.

Short yes, but that's what I came up with at 10PM at night..bored out of my mind which was filled with fluff. ^.^
