You Were Never Mine
By: Reyn

Those last words you said to me had planted a seed of doubt in my initial reaction. A small ray of hope shone; maybe I was wrong in my heated assumptions. Maybe you would come and find me and force me to understand the truth, whatever it may be.

It’s been a month and I no longer find myself disillusioned by what you said. Congratulations, Sasuke, you’ve finally put me in my place. I’m lower than the slime in the gutters and I’m willing to admit it. Aren’t you proud?

It takes another two months for you to finally come and seek me out. Far too late for an abortion, a thought that makes me giggle at the insanity of such a hope. I amaze myself at how quick I am to spot that dying wish. I then immediately chastise myself; why would you even try to convince her to get rid of it? One of your goals is to resurrect your clan.

Wordlessly, I stand aside to allow you in my humble little abode. That in itself should be a sign to you that I still trust you. That I still respect you. That I still love you.

Since the day I was born, this has been the only place to shelter me from the constant cruelty I’ve endured from the villagers for reasons previously unknown to me. This is my shelter, my safe haven, please let it continue to be so, if only for a little while longer.

For a long time, you remain standing there, leaning against the wall in silence. I don’t offer you tea. You don’t deserve it. I refuse to be the first to talk as well. Because you don’t deserve the luxury of me making it easier for you to find some reason to get mad and skirt around whatever issue you came here for.

Eventually, I start to nod off and go to bed. You remain where you are, your eyes following me as I climb under my sheets and in the morning, you’re gone.
