In The Rain
I looked down from the tree, my heart sinking into my stomach with a dull familiar ache, knowing that I had been the one to cause her this pain and torment. It was often that I would be woken up by a scream of terror, but was unable to do anything to comfort the young woman and was left to listen to her soft sobs from the apartment above hers.
Tonight was no different, and, so, for the first time since returning t the village, I left my self-enforced solitude to follow the pinkette, surprised to find her visiting a private cemetery situated beside the lake. My heart shattered at the sight if her kneeling in front of my brother's grave, heaving heavy sobs and talking to the headstone as if Itachi could still hear her tender words.
I had been surprised and somewhat shocked to find out that the two had been lovers, but somehow it made sense in the back of my mind, a small sense of warmth spreading in my heart at knowing that someone had loved and cherished Itachi when even I had carried nothing but hatred for him.
Shifting to get more cover, I was reminded of the heavy rain pouring down from the lighting filled sky, but I could care less, knowing that getting soaked was not even close to what I deserved for causing a second pain that forced those normally sparkling emerald eyes to revert into dull, glazed over orbs; and so sitting on the branch in the rain, I vowed to do anything that would finally bring the light back into Sakura's eyes.
Author's note: I know it's really short and very depressing but I felt like I had to show Sasuke's view on what he had caused through Itachi's death, so this could be linked to 'If You're Gonna Say Goodbye'.
