Cold seeps under a closed door, curing round the pale ankles of a young boy as he moves with the rhythm of his chakra practice. The sound of singing echoes around the empty halls of an abandoned home.
Lost In The Darkness
Hoping For A Sign
Instead There's Only Silence
Can't You Hear My Screams?
No one is there to listen to the hollow sound as night closes in once again, shrouding the raven in shadows, tracing the snakes carved into the walls. The shadows he has always had to live with. Shadows and hate that had to become part of him, if he was to put it right. He has to be the hate if he is to destroy the evil, and keep him safe.
Moonlight casts the shadows across a pained face as it looks out to the stars. Blue eyes reflecting their feeble light as hands clutch bed sheets tossed aside.
Never Stop Hoping
Until You Know Where You Are
But One Thing's For Sure
You're Always In My Heart
A young girl leans against the closed door listening to him sing.
I'll Find You Somewhere
I'll Keep On Trying
Until My Dying Day
I Just Need To Know
Whatever Has Happened?
The Truth Will Free My Soul
A small tear traces her cheek, soon to be followed by many more, to be absorbed in to the ground. Or taken back up to the skies, where they will fall as universal sorrow. Slowly, she pushes open the door.
Hundreds of miles away, a raven picks up a weapons pouch fingering the shuriken inside,
Lost In The Darkness
Tried To Find Way Home
I Want To Embrace You
And Never Let You Go
Fingers tighten around metal, letting it bite into pale skin. Blood dribbling between closed fingers. Anything to protect him, to stop the elder blowing out the very last light.
Almost Like You're In Heaven
So No One Can Hurt Your Soul…
The blonde teenager doesn't turn around as he hears the footsteps and the sound of sniffling. Ignoring the tears now running down his own cheeks. Sliding past the scars. 'Is that why, because of what I am?'
Living In Agony
Cause I Just Did Not know
Where You Were
Two shaky breaths are taken as the same moon shines down on two who can never be the same.
I'll Find You Somewhere
I'll Keep On Trying Until My Dying Day
I Just Need To Know
Whatever Has Happened?
The Truth Will Free My Soul
"Why did you leave me….Sasuke?"
Wherever You Are
I Won't Stop Searching
Whatever It Takes Me To Go
Shaking arms close around a small waist, but are pushed away as Naruto walks right up to the window, breath fogging up the glass.
I'll Find You Somewhere
I'll Keep On Trying
Until My Dying Day
I Just Need To Know
Whatever Has Happened?
The Truth Will Free My Soul
The Truth Will Free My Soul….
Uchiha Sasuke lets the shuriken drop to the floor. Gripping the bars on his window tight enough to hurt, he chokes out the words. Words no one can hear, because an Uchiha doesn't have a weakness.
I'll Find You Somewhere
I'll Keep On Trying
Until My Dying Day
I Just Need To Know
Whatever Has Happened?
The Truth Will Free My Soul
Grimacing as the silence echoes in his mind, the raven banishes all thoughts remotely linked to a life he can never return to.
"You'll never do it dobe…"
"…I'll find you Sasuke"
