It had been a long drawn out story, despite the ever occurring twist, the only thing about this tale that forever remained the same was that it was written in blood.
The cold chill only added to the element of dread as crimson eyes glowed with irritation. The only physical attribute, that wasn't obscured by the shadows.
Those eyes stared hard at the beaten feminine figure slumped a few feet away. Only after a few moments did the body move with obvious agony. Grabbing the hilt of her sword that had lain next to her, she steadied herself before using the weapon as support. Dark hair pooled around her shoulders having come loose from it's black silk ribbon, causing it's owner to feel the slight annoyance of it being in her line of sight.
Her eyes narrowed in anger after noticing the cause of her blood loss, and lack of chakra, was still imperfect condition, no hint of ever being in combat. What else is to be expected when your opponent has lived for many years and happens to posses a dangerous bloodline limit.
Madara stepped closer, decreasing whatever space was left between them. Even without with out the shadows air of eerie mystery, his entire form still held the same power, and dominance.
The young woman struggling to stay up, said with pain evident in her voice, "Have you ever loved anyone," pausing to take an agonized breath, "or better yet, can you?"
Madara's face remained impassive with the offending question, but his eyes for a fleeting second screamed sadness and remorse.
"Yes," he replied, his voice not betraying what his eyes had. Grabbing a fistful of her hair ignoring her surprised yelp, he straightened her trembling body up to eye level, "and I killed her." With those last words Madara shoved his chakra covered hand right through her chest.
Hearing her final gasp, he pulled his hand out which was now coated with his latest sin. Madara dropped the now life-less body before calmly retreating back into the forest and its shadows.
The freshly spilled blood wasn't writing out the final conclusion, but beginning a new chapter of the tragic fate of the true protagonist, who unfortunately was given this forsaken fate when he was born an Uchiha.
Hey new story I've had in my head for a while, and just for the record this is NOT a MadaraxOC fic! The last words Madara says here are connected to a ff a good friend is working on currently. Well please R&R!
