masses of a dying breed
summary:Mikoto always knew that her boys would go down in history. She just wished they hadn't gone down as a bunch of clan killing monsters. -Uchiha centric-
note1:WTF is this craziness. Oh well, I always wanted to write crazy Uchihas.
Mikoto sighed. She'd done a lot of that in the past ten years, sighing. She hadn't cried though. No, she never cried. (Not since That Night, anyways.) Crying was for the weak, and she was not weak. She was an Uchiha, and Uchihas were never weak. Uchihas were shinobi, the best of the best, whether they wanted to be or not.
Sometimes she wishes they weren't, though. Shinobi, that is. She wishes they could have been a normal civilian family with normal civilian problems. Maybe then (definitely then) her boys would have been okay. They didn't have to be perfect, but they could have been okay. (Namely, one would have been alive and the other would have been sane Not revenge driven and not stuck on some sort of twisted mission to avenge something, someone, he never should have had to avenge. They would have been okay.)
But things aren't okay. Far from it. Because Sasuke is losing his mind (if he hasn't lost it already), Itachi is dead (oh, how she wished that had turned out differently. Itachi was the best of them, but look at where he was now.), and Fugaku (she loved her husband, she really did) still didn't have a clue.
So Mikoto sighed again and continued to watch the world go by, because what else was there to do here. (Where was here? She didn't know, didn't really care, not anymore. Nothing ever changed in the endless sea of grey that she now resided. And she couldn't change anything, only watch from her cage as the world kept spinning out of control.) So she watched like she always had. Like she had watched her children grow up into the men they had become (the men she never wanted them to be), watched them rise and fall, grow, change, fight and die.
Mikoto watched and waited, like any good mother, to patch up the wounds of a family that had torn itself apart.
note2: More? I think so.
note3: Uchiha centric means I'll probably do all of em. Well, the main Uchihas really.
