Itachi's hand slowly reached up for Sasuke's eye. And I was just there, paralyzed. I was paralyzed; unable to move while watching Itachi toy with his younger brother. His fingers had reached Sasuke's eyelid, sliding them back as he started to mumble apologies that sounded hollow, void of emotion. Itachi had saved me once upon a time, many years ago. Long ago when my family had just been murdered; the first even which would turn out to be of many. But later that year, he adopted me into the Uchiha, and I had a new family.
And that's when I met Sasuke, and the two of us, we quickly became inseparable. Like two twins joined at the hip. I was so connected to both Sasuke and Itachi that I would often sneak into their room and sleep with them when I had a nightmare or just couldn't sleep. Those two, they were my world. And when Itachi killed my new family, even after being engulfed by that same loss that I had once already found, love still mingled with the hate I felt for him whenever he would find his way into my thoughts. But the way he left Sasuke was cruel, and what he did to his own family was monstrous. It took so long for me to get Sasuke to talk or even smile in the slightest' though I doubt he smiles for real. After Itachi was gone, me and Sasuke, we were all either of us had. Until my tenth birthday when the man who murdered my family returned for me.
That was when Orochimaru marked me and while I was recovering, he stole me, he took me away from the leaf, from my home. And worst of all, he took me away from Sasuke. That was five years ago, and the days in between then and now seem hazed. So many experiments that it's just become a blur. A blur that had me convinced day by day that I might die. And now, now I have to watch the men I love, the only two men I've ever loved try and kill each other….
Sasuke's shout of pain rang in my ears as Itachi ripped his left eye out. The sound suffocated me, where ever this is, whatever this is, it's worse than death ever could be. My own scream echoed Sasuke's as be began to slowly fade away, my body yearning to touch him. To comfort him and protect him. Once Sasuke had completely darkened away, Itachi turned toward me, his sharingan eyes stared me dead in the face. His mouth moved rapidly, forming words with no sound that I couldn't keep up with.
That's when my world shattered, like glass, and fell down into a dark, black abyss…
