Okay hiya, I was doing a dramatic monologue for my Creative Writing class and while I was doing Itachi's I kind of turned into a story idea, so the first three chapters will be in the monologue format. Sorry, but I wanted to show this through three different POV's and this seemed kind of challenging. Please tell me what you think okay? Hope you all like it!
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. This song is Brother my Brother by Blessid Union of Souls…I don't own that either…
Chapter one: Sasuke - brother, my brother
Aniki, for so long I have hidden in your shadows. I was chasing after you hoping to catch up, but now it is my foot steps you must fallow. To think I have succeeded in something you have not. To think there is a place I can go where you cannot. I have achieved where you have failed. I do not hate you, I never did.
Brother
my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
We've got to end this
war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This
war never began
We can try
Brother my brother
I was only angry. Angry because you couldn't see how much Okaasan and Otousan loved you. How much they praised you and compared us. I was angry that you killed them that night leaving not survivors but me. You left me to avenge the clan. You made me feel obligated to kill you. I wanted to hate you for that, for staining my pride.
We
face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't
remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause so much pain
Our
foolish pride makes us hate this way
I also wanted to hate you for trying to kill Naruto. My best friend would nit die by your hands or anyone else's if I had anything to do about it. I wanted to see him become the next Hokage, and I wanted to see my son's birth, but those are impossible dreams now as my blood is coughed out of my mouth.
We
watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When
you lose your heart
Your
katana buried in my stomach. Your eyes are wide with shock, your
normal eyes, not those emotionless, angry Sharingan eyes, but those
loving onyx eyes that belonged to my aniki. You
pull the katana from me and I hit the ground, my shirt soaking up the
blood that rushed out. Brother my brother
Tell me
what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
You whisper something to me but I can't hear you. Your voice is so far away and I'm so cold… and tired. My chest hurts with each breath I take. I hear Naruto's loud voice calling for me as he and Sakura run to me. Both are crying, Sakura more than Naruto. Her sobs ring loudly in my ear where Itachi's voice had sounded so small and lost. I look past my friends and am amazed to see Itachi still there. My voice comes out of my mouth shakily. "Protect them Itachi." My eyes soften to show the forgiveness in my heart.
We
should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war
never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
I give Sakura a look and her lips barely brush mine. "Don't talk Sasuke-kun; you need to save your energy. I'll heal you and then you'll be fine and we can be a family." Tears poured from her eyes and her voice catches. My hand feels heavy as I move it to rest it on the swell of her womb, my child. We both know what healing my might cost us.
Yes
We
can try
Brother my brother
Yes
"Don't worry," my voice is scarcely loud enough for anyone to hear. She moves closer to hear me. Pink strands brushing against my cheek. "I'll wait for you," were my last words to her as my breath fails me.
Let's
take a moment and look deep inside
And say we'll learn to give
love a try
When matters differ as we seem to be
There's so much
more to me than what you see
My heart beat slows to a thundering stop. My eyelids that were so heavy drop and I am at peace knowing my friend, wife and child will be taken care of. Confident that my aniki will not shrink away from his duty, then my heart breaks as I hear Sakura's wails.
You
don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn
around and walk away
Brother my brother
Tell
me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We
should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war
never began
Tell
me why
Brother my brother
Brother my brother
Tell
me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We
should love one another
Oh,
can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother
my brother
