Live and Let Die

'I want to fade away. Fade away and go to a place where I can be all alone. Where no one else can find me. A place where I can be safe. Safe to do as I please. No one to worry about. Nothing to hold me down. A place all of my own.'

Those are the thoughts I know he thinks. The look in his eyes explain that to me. All the time. As I sit and watch him with every minute that passes, he stares with despise and hate. A longing for a place where no one can find him.

"Fade away. Go to a place where you can be all alone. Where no one will ever find you. A place where you can be safe. A place where worry is not an option. A place all of your own. I know that thought all too well little brother. I felt it before as well."

"What do you know? You feel nothing. Nothing at all!"

"You're wrong." The pain is finaly kicking in. Yes. I finaly feel the multiple kunai wounds left on me. Sasuke watches me closely, holding shuriken, ready to throw them if I made any wrong movements. I don't see how I could have. I was pinned to a tree. I had no intentions of fighting back either.

"Let's fade away. Fade away and go to a place where we can be all alone, together. Where no one else can find us. A place where we can be safe, together. Safe to do as we please. No one to worry about. Nothing to hold us down. A place all of our own." Our voices combine to sound as one. We both close our eyes as we speak. I can feel my life fading. Something wet slides down my face. Damn. I'm crying. Sasuke see's this and stares at me a moment. He's only inches away. A single hand reaches out. I feel myself wanting to just fade now but I know Sasuke's not finished.

"Big brother." His hand rests on my face as he moves closer. Her rests his head on my chest, hands on the tree behind me. His warm body against mine. I feel something jerk at my heart. He reaches up, not looking, pulling the kunai from my sleeves, freeing my arms. I feel my arms act on their own and wrap around the young teen's weakened body. His body jerks a bit. He's crying now.

"Sasuke..." My voice is weak, emotions feeling it. Sasuke shakes his head and shushes me. Not moving. He's taking this comfort because he knows I'm the last of his family. He's wanting to take in this moment. I was the one he looked up to. I was the one he worshipped. I was the one he wanted in his life most. He mourned over their death but his real hate was formed from me leaving him. He told me at the begginging of this heated battle. Silence rings through the area. Sasuke's no longer moving, leaning on me. his breathing is still heavy. Mine is growing weak. His voice sounds.

"Don't leave me. Don't leave. I don't want to be alone. I don't want you to leave me. Please. You left me for way to long and I don't want you to leave me again." He's weak. But I can't help but smile at his plea's. I pull the boy closer to me. He leans in. i catch my breath before I speak. Sasuke can feel it. I'm having trouble breathing so he pulls back. His face is soaked from tears. I close my eyes and smile weakly. I reach out for him and pul him back. He let's me and leans on me lighly.

"Sasuke...I love you, little brother. I'm sorry. I know...I know I hurt you and I regret it. But I don't regret killing them." He pulls back, anger flared in his eyes.

"I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THEM! IT WAS YOU! YOU WERE THE ONE I WANTED! THE ONLY ONE I EVER WANTED AROUND! I prayed something would happen to them so they couldn't take you away from me anymore. the stole you from me. Then...Then you left me." He's on his knee's. His fist slams into the ground. I watch him. I want to go and comfort him, then realize I can pull the other kunai out. I do. And drop to my knee's. I crawl over to Sasuke and pull him closer to me. He let's me. I fall back from the pain and the fac, I'm weak... Sasuke rolls off me and lays next to me, burrying his face into my chest.

"Let me fade away with you." His voice is nothing more than a whisper. I shake my head and whisper.

"No. You're still young." He looks up at me.

"I'm old enough to..." I cut him off by placing my hand over his mouth lightly. More tears slip from his face and fall onto mine. I can feel my life fading more and more. Sasuke can see it in my eyes. We both long for a place to be together in. Sasuke's pleading eyes draw more tears to mine and he lays on me gently. And we lay there together. And we cry there together. And I know Sasuke will come here to die. Because he wants us to die at the same place, even if it's not together. I feel tender lips press against mine and I can taste the salt from his tears. I return the gentle kiss and he pulls back.

"I'll finish this, so the pain will stop." Sasuke says, placing a hand over my eyes. I trust his judgment, but I'm afraid. I close my eyes and he removes his hand. I feel him pick mine up with his own. He's hesitating. i know now that he had quickly changed his mind. Then I feel it. A kunai stabs into the palm of my hand and I feel blood drip onto my hand as I feel my blood drip off of my skin. Sasuke peirced his flawless skin with a kunai. He was mixing our blood together. He turns our hands and I feel his tongue slide over the wound gently. He loves the taste because he des it again. It's that or he's forcing it down. Why would he do such a childish thing?

"Sasuke. End it. Now."

"No."

"Please."

"Not yet."

"Do it."

"No."

"Sasuke."

"Not yet." He licks his own hand, then kisses me one last time. I can taste his blood. It's so much different than mine. The taste, it's sweeter.

"I love you, big brother." I want to scream. I know it's coming. I see him draw the kunai up. My voice works on it's own.

"WAIT!" It echoes. He stops. He throws it away. He drops, crying harder. I rest a hand on him. I hang on. I'm clinging onto life. I'm praying that I live. Sasuke grows silent. He's asleep. He fell asleep. I smile. I'm still holding on.

My eyes snap open and I try to sit up, but there he is, weighing me down. His small hands clinging onto my shit. Sasuke, little brother. I love you.

If I get some good reviews, I might make this a chapter Story.
