Sewing Up The Ocean

by LonelyAura

Where odds and ends meet, where characters come to speak, give a little ramble or a story, this is that. Odds and ends collected and thrown into one, with a variety of differences. AU, canon, drabbles that could be either-or, different genders; you never know. All sorts of ratings that will be mentioned on the chapter.

Author's Note: Here's the story set to contain all of my drabble-bits. There may be interspersed poetry or song or something of the like. On each bit, I'll give a warning on the bottom of these notes, because there WILL be M-type things, be it sex or drugs or someone ripping out someone else's intestines. But so goes it.

First story is a Shisui-bit. Most of these will be about him in some way, but there might be a few where it's not. We'll see.

Description: Shisui's take on the Kyuubi attack in 286 words. K+

---

The war had been starting to slow to a stop. A standstill. They were still hungry, but the Uchiha were starting to return to their corner of the village. Shisui had been entered into the Academy, mostly going through the motions of it - he already knew how to fight to kill. He knew how to run and duck, and he could beat most of the other children. He was set to graduate in January.

It wasn't optimum, but they were recovering. Recovering enough so that he could leave Itachi alone. Itachi wasn't ready to join the academy, because he didn't speak and no one wanted a retarded ninja, but that just gave Shisui more time to train him. More time to keep Itachi to himself.

But that night, Shisui was not with Itachi. Itachi was at home with his parents, for once, and Shisui had stayed out in the village, wandering around because he couldn't fathom the thought of there really being no enemies. Not one person around the village, ready to kill them. Just the ruins of the current village.

The worst happened. A demon, the nine-tails, came and attacked. Managed to kill so many, injure others and nearly destroyed the village before it disappeared. Shisui burned (not to death like those put to stake), and had hidden under some rubble, but it still hurt.

That wasn't the bad part, though. The bad part was seeing the bodies flayed and boiled alive, and not knowing if Itachi was dead or not. That was the worst. Shisui stayed hidden for three days, absolutely sure that everyone was dead, until Inuzuka Tsume hauled him out of the rubble and held him close until he stopped screaming.
