15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[beforethedarkness]

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]

If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

Whoops is this action or video?

[beforethedarkness]

[Not returning that look, Sora. God let him sulk in peace. =/]

video, the boys are back in kanto

[heartdive]

Sasukkkkkkkke.

Video forever it is!

[beforethedarkness]

... What.

[heartdive]

Stop being such a cranky pants!

[beforethedarkness]

Leave me alone, Sora.

[And yet he doesn't turn off the feed, what sense does that make?]

[heartdive]

I think you've had enough alone time, Sasuke.

[beforethedarkness]

No. I haven't.

private

[heartdive]

Yes you have! And now I'm getting a little worried.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

...

I don't trust anyone. I don't want to trust anymore.

Private

[heartdive]

Get over it.

You're my friend, Sasuke, but the world does not revolve around you and your issues. If you were dealing with them the right way, do you really think you'd still be so miserable?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

How can you say we're friends when I just told you that I don't trust you.

Private

[heartdive]

Because you keep talking to me. Because you said you don't want to trust anymore, which means you have to trust someone.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I don't.

Private

[heartdive]

Not even yourself?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

... The only thing that I trust about myself is that I'll keep training to get strong enough to kill him, no matter what.

Private

[heartdive]

Dude, you're putting your trust in a dream. What's more unreliable here? Us, who have been there for you... Or a dream that might not even come true anymore.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

It isn't a dream. It's a goal. And it will happen.

Private

[heartdive]

Still don't think that you'll be happy with the result.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I'm not trying to be happy.

Private

[heartdive]

So... You think your parents want you to suffer for the rest of your life?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

No. But...

[Another small sigh as he just deflates a little bit.]

I can't move on until I do this.

Private

[heartdive]

So it's kind of selfish instead of it being for them?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I wasn't strong enough to save them that night.

Until I kill him, it feels like they can't rest either. I can't move on until I do this.

Private

[heartdive]

It still only helps you feel better about it.

But I think it just kind of makes you like him... Willing to kill family.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I'm not like him.

Even... To I kill him, I won't go as far as he did. I won't betray anyone. I won't kill people important to me.

[Mostly because he's trying to not have anyone close...]

When he dies, it will be by my hands alone.
