WARNING: Depressing!
Gasping short of breath, Sasuke wasn’t entirely sure what had just happened… All he could recall was a stabbing pain that drilled into his stomach from behind… How did he miss that? He was an Uchiha and such a skilled one too and yet someone had managed to evade his senses… How? It made no sense and the more he thought about it the more confused it left him.
His thoughts slowly hazing and becoming fuzzy as he stared up at the stars. Stars… How long had it been since he had admired them or wished upon them… He knew, deep down…
As he gazed up at the nights sky he realized just how his energy was fading fast, there was no point in denying it… This was it. Sasuke Uchiha was going to die and a fitting end for one such as himself. Laying in the middle of no where, a place he had never seen before… He’d die alone and so young.
So many years before him that he’d never see… What if life were different? If he had chosen a different path. Would he still be alone at the end? Without his family, his friends and worst of all, without Itachi.
He felt his eyes clouding over, becoming to heavy to blink, his fingers quivering at his sides in shock. What was the point? Did he ever have a true purpose? Or was he merely a filler in God’s story book.
His concentration was torn apart in that instant as he choked on his breath. A husky painful cough ripped from his throat, his body jolted painfully as blood spilled from his lungs, staining his previously flawless flesh. There was no hope left, realizing the intensity and seriousness of his situation, he chose his last thoughts wisely.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I’ll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don’t leave me here alone
But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight.
Itachi… Images from his past spilled before his eyes, replacing the stars… Re-painting the skies. Memories he had surpressed and forgotten had ever taken place and for once, he felt at ease… Seeing Itachi as he was. Smiling. Such a rare occurance to grace the elders lips and each time he had made a mental note to remember each occasion he witnessed it. Broken promises to himself. He could never forgive himself for that.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound.
By now, Sasuke was aware he was losing feeling all over his body, his muscles were seizing and he’d never felt quite a sensation. His limbs growing cold each second and the crimson tainting his parted lips began to dry as shallow heaves caressed the liquid.
Itachi… Why? He heard his own voice echo in the back of his mind and all he could taste was that warm essence filling his throat, this caused his to cough weakly once again. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be… What did he do to deserve such an end? Such agony his entire life… His hatred and bitterness was all he knew at this point, unable to let go off his past pains lead him to only more anguish.
Don’t you dare look out your window darling
Everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music’s gone.
You weren’t there that night, that’s when it started. Everything. His entire life turned upside down and suddenly that one person that made him feel safe and loved was before him with such pain in his eyes, he didn’t understand back then… But now, he could see it all. Why now? Now when it was too late.
Itachi lived his life in agony and who would have known his precious little brother would follow that same path.
Perhaps, the end wasn’t all bad… Maybe now he’d feel free. He’d feel relief… No more lies, no more anguish.
Wincing, his eyes glazed over and a single tear fell stray from his lifeless hues. His shock wearing off and leaving only the remains of something that was once precious… A light exhale rolled through his lips and his heart slowed, his body cold.
With his last bit of energy, his limp hand had gone numb… He raised the shakey appendage toward his head, pointing his two digits with such struggle his hand eased toward his blood stained forehead and finally, the cool fingertips pressed to his skin. The closest he had felt to Itachi since he were a child.
What a waste of human life. He had accomplished next to nothing in his recollection. A walking burden.
His features relaxed and his hand fell to his chest as he continued to gaze at the heavens above.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound.
As it all faded to white, the boy had accepted his fate and welcomed death. Unable to deal with the emotional trauma any longer he suddenly felt an unexplained warmth pool on his forehead. As dark eyes fluttered open weakly and his gaze focused. There he was. Smiling.
He inhaled deeply and for once felt completely at ease, no tension through out his body, no struggle. Complete ease.
“Just close your eyes
You’ll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I’ll be safe and sound…”
That voice, that same voice that would ease him to sleep when he had night terrors, that same voice that consoled him and told him everything would be okay and whilst he was still too in awe to move, the elders hand shifted to his own, linking his digits with the smallers.
“Sasuke…”
I guess i was never completely alone.

Of course! I am terribly sorry for all the bullshit involved. -____-
