Prelude
"Mommy, what's that man doing over there?" a small girl stopped walking. Her small fingers pointing a dark figure, a silhouette, a blemish upon a canvas of golden hues. She looked up at her mother, large chocolate eyes full of question. The woman didn't answer, finding the person to be of no importance, she ushered the girl along, too busy to care.
The man stood still, unmoving. His eyes focused on a small stone structure, still unmarred by the torment of the tempests.
The world passed by, unaware of him, uncaring. Time had seemed to stop for this man, this shell. Yet, the world still continued, unfazed by his inner turmoil. Life still went on. Fists clenched, nails cutting into the delicate skin on his palms.
"You shouldn't do that, you'll bleed."
Unclenching them, he looked down at his hands, small crescents indented in them. Lowering himself to his knees, he gaze returning to the stone.
'Why? When you died...why didn't the world die with you?' he asked this silently, wanting an answer, though, knowing he would receive none.
He turned his face to the sun, his lips parted slightly. A cool breeze shifted across his porcelain colored skin, raven colored locks forming a stark contrast against it.
His eyes slipped shut, a faint orange glow still visible through his eye lids.
Slender fingers slid through his hair, and over his lips. A firm chest pressed against his back in an awkward embrace. Lips ghosted over his neck, stopping at his ear, speaking in a perpetually soft tone.
"Sasuke."
Obsidian black eyes snapped open and he spun around, hoping, searching.
No one.
He sighed, the small glimmer of light vanished. Of course there was no one.
How foolish.
A/N: Okay, it's finished, the beginning. I know it's kinda confusing, but all will be revealed! Any way, tell me what you think! Remember, I NEED A BETA!
Ja ne.
