Today, I watched the village that I love burn to the ground, and I was the cause of it.

"Mommy, its cold outside," sakura said as she looked up at her mother, watching the white snow flakes fall around he beautiful face. "I know baby, but mommy is going to find you a place to sleep tonight, okay?' The woman looked down at her daughter, her beautiful daughter with her bright pink hair, and her emerald green eyes, that shown bright like the sun. Sakura shivered a bit and nodded, "mommy, when is daddy coming back?" Sakura's mother smiled. "Daddy is up in the sky sakura, with the stars, he won't be coming back," the woman paused in the snow, her face putting on a sinister smile. " and my dear, dear sakura… you'll be meeting him very soon,' her deep chuckles ensued and she released sakura's hand, her own dropping down to the right side of her body as her eyes developed a deep red hue. "what do you mean mommy? Isn't daddy in heaven?' sakura mumbled into her coat, clutching her teddy bear close to her chest. "What I mean my dear sakura, is that you'll be dead,' her mother turned, her right hand now a claw, that had ripped through the material of the woven gloves she wore. The voice did not belong to sakura's mother though. It was so dark and demonic, as her mother picked her up by her collar. "Little girl, today, you die!" and razor claws produced chakra. It was slow motion for sakura, as she watched her own mother shove her hand through her chest.
"M-Mommy…' she hatched up, blood, ripped tissue. She felt strange, like her body was closing up, around her own mommy's hand. "W-What! Insolate girl! What is this!" her mother attempted to withdraw her claw, but to no avail, the demonic chakra began to flow into sakura. "M-Mommy, why…why did you kill me mommy…why did you…kill me mommy…' her voice faded into something sinister and demonic. Her eyes began to glow a deep gold. Her mother's hand began to turn back to normal as the demon left her body and transferred to her four year old daughter. Sakura raised her hands, and opened her mouth. Fangs and claws present, and she began her assault on her mother's, now, once beautiful face.
A boy watched from the trees, his anbu mask on the side of his head as he watched the scene unfold, after what he had done tonight, he couldn't judge the girl on any actions he took against her mother. His crimson gazed scanned her, noticing that she was not normal, for a girl to be about 5 years old. The way hatred exuded from her skin was something he'd never even experience, even when the council gave him the awful deed of killing his beloved clan. He spoke to himself as the child began to tear at her mother's stomach now, the blood splashing everywhere. Against the trees, ground, the leaves even dripped with the crimson essence of life.
He jumped behind the girl, waiting for her rant of destruction and murder to cease. It went on for what seems like hours, as he absorbed every action and reaction of the hideous deed. Blood flew around him, splashing his cheeks, his ninja gear, and his own hands. He couldn't grimace in disgust, because they were already covered by the lively warm substance. He lifted his hand, watching as the newly wet blood dribbled down his palm, staining the black bandages her applied after his family massacre. He almost enjoyed seeing it run, thinking maybe the new blood would bring the old blood back to life and destroy the awful deed he now carried on his shoulders, on his heart. He clutched his hand and tightly as he closed his eyes, praying for forgiveness from the great kami-sama himself. "Sasuke, please hate me, and when you are done hating me, please forgive me….'
"Did you do something bad mister?' A child's voice infiltrated his ear canals, and he looked up to see the young girl staring up at him with brilliant green eyes. Her hair was a cherry pink, the same colors as cherry blossoms. Her head was tilted to the side, in a child like manner. She was the epitome of beauty to the young boy.
"Yes, I did something very wrong…'
"Well mister, please don't be sad, cause' I did something bad too."
"And what did you do that was so bad young one?" it was a dumb question of course, after he has witnessed her tearing her mother into shreds.
"I think I killed my mommy." She said, her head drooping in a sad manner, and he played with her ripped, blood soaked gloves.
"I also killed my mommy, it seems like we have something in common." He said plainly, thought deep down he was surprised she had such a deep competent intelligence. He looked over her blood ruin attire, and then back up to her blood stained skin that glowed brightly in the moonlight. He placed his hand ontop of her head and crouched down to her eye level. He noticed she had a teddy bear in her right hand. The bear was not harmed in anyway, it wasn't even blood stained. He smiled at the bear and looked back up at her.
"What's his name?' he said pointing to the bear. She smiled brightly and pushed him into the young boys hand. She thought very hard, her face turning red as she tapped on her chin. "Well, he actually doesn't have a name." she said as she lowered her head. The bear was white, and had two dark blue stones for eyes. The bear almost reminded him of…
"How about you name him sasuke?' he asked platonically. Her face glowed and she nodded ecstatically. "I like that name very much!"
"And what is your name?" he said, looking her more into her eyes this time.
"My name is Sakura Oniji, what is your name mister?"
He smirked and closed his eyes; he leaned in, pressing his forehead against her forehead. "I'll tell you my name sakura, but you have to promise me two things. You have to promise that you will not tell anyone that you know me, and you must promise not to hate me in the future." His voice was smooth like velvet as she spoke with the most accurate grammar.
"Okay sir! I promise that I won't do any of that!" she said as she jumped up and down as if she was winning a prize from a guessing game.
"My Name, My dear Sakura, Is Itachi Uchiha."
