Everlasting Night
And she shall not turn away from him, for she must do his every will...
Prolouge:
"Sasuke" a voice broke through the night. The mentioned man did not turn, didn't even seem to notice the speaker. He just kept walking down the dark path.
"Sasuke, don't do this Sasuke!" a different voice screamed. This time it was a girl's voice, a heart wrenching, sobbing, terrified voice. Sasuke tries to tell his body to stop walking, but it continues.
Step. Step. Step.
The girl, pink hair glowing in the fading light, and the boy, blonde hair growing darker by the second in anger, freeze as they here another person's footsteps around them. The girl stiffles a scream.
Sakura.
Her name sticks out in his mind. The pain, oh the pain he caused the girl he was walking away from.
"Your just gonna leave us to die, huh Sasuke?" another voice broke through his thoughts.
Naruto.
His best friend. He couldn't leave these two, like he had left his family so many years ago. It wasn't by choice, of course, but still.
No. He would not leave them. They were the only people he had left. He refused to leave them. Now if only some one could tell his legs that...
"Sasuke!" he hears Sakura sob, and it kills him to hear her like that. To have her in more pain than she already was in.
"Sasuke!" An angry Naruto exclaims. His best friend... but he still walks.
Step. Step. Step.
He hears the swoosh of the blade, and it feels like it hit him. He hears the terrified screams of his friends, and he only hopes that Naruto would save Sakura. Oh yeah, too late. She was already dead. Now they both were, because of him. It was always about Sasuke.
Sasuke
Sasuke
Sasuke!!!
He sits up in bed, and looks around the room. Nothing. He could hear Naruto's loud snoring in the bed next to his. He relaxes.
Then, his view of the room is blocked by a pair of dull green, almost gray, eyes. Sasuke gasps and takes a swing at the suprise visitor, who, even though they're sitting right on top of him, is a heavy as a feather. His arm swings past her. No. Through her.
The girl chuckles, looking at him through those constantly cold eyes.
"Did I scare you Sasuke?" Sakura asks in her tight, echoing voice. He remembers when in the old days she laughed, and it was like bells chiming. Those days were gone. Long gone.
"No." he grunts, trying to keep a hold on his last piece of dignity. She laughs, without humor.
"Of course I didn't. Who could scare the great Sasuke Uchiha?" She says in a mocking tone. Sasuke growls, then freezes, as her cold lips brush his forhead. He stares at her suprised as her cold appearence relaxes. She smiles a tight smile.
"Seriously, Uchiha, are you alright?" she says, using her normal, human tone. Well, almost human. He could still hear the echo a bit.
"Yeah. I'm fine." he mutters, not looking into her eyes. Out of the corner of them, he can see her's narrow. Then they relax.
"It was the nightmares again, wasn't it." she says in an indifferent tone, but her eyes were piercing. Sasuke tries not to groan. Leave it to Sakura to guess what even Naruto couldn't. He nods, suddenly worried that someone was coming to attack him. Seeing his reaction, she rolls her eyes.
"Really Uchiha, paranoia is so overrated." she gives a hollow giggles, then freezes. Sasuke looks at the door. It seemed normal to him. A few seconds later, he heard the footsteps. Crud.
"I'll see you later" she hisses. Sakura vanishes in an instant,and he pretends to be asleep. A guard walks in, the usual scowl on his face.
"Tomoki, Master needs you." he snarls. The terrified man wakes, and beside him, Sasuke feels Naruto wake up too. The guard forces the now screaming man out the door and shuts it. They hear the lock click. All of the men in the room slowly fall back asleep.
"What do you think he wanted?" Naruto asked him in a low tone, in case anyone was near. Sasuke shrugged, his mind on Sakura's weird actions earlier. Naruto gives him an amused glance. "Your thinking about Sakura, aren't you?" Sasuke tries not to his this time. What was it with those two, always able to read his mind? It was mucho annoying.
"Need help sleeping, Uzamaki?" he snarls. Naruto laughs silently.
"No thanks. M'good." he yawns. "Night Uchiha."
"Good night annoying." Sasuke answers. They stiffen when they hear the screaming from outside. Female. Hopefully it wasn't Sakura. They hoped that every night, yet 75% of the time, it was.
This was routine for them. It was always this. Every eternal night.
