Title: Bloody Smile

Words: 204

Characters: Sasuke Uchiha

Summary: It is so much easier to smile when you've lost yourself.

Genre: Angst? / Horror (maybe, not too sure...)

Warnings: Short... And it's Sasuke, so probably madness?


Crimson red has become his new favourite colour – and it's not just because of Sharingan or because of his clan.

He licks his dry lips, tasting the bitter and salty liquid tainting them, and a smile makes his lips rise up.

It is so much easier for him to smile nowadays.

There was a time when he couldn't smile at all.

When he pulls his sword out of the now lifeless body of Iwa ninja, he lets out a relaxed sigh and rolls his shoulders as though he is stretching himself.

The thrill of killing a person causes him to laugh out loud – softly, quietly – as his crimson eyes fade back to dark onyx colour they usually are.

He really wants to get to Konoha as soon as possible, to hear their shrieks and wails of pain.

That is what they deserve, after all, for being the reason Uchiha clan is almost completely gone.

It is no sin in his world to take revenge on people who destroyed your life in such a horrible way – without even knowing it.

He can't wait for that day when he can soak his hands in their blood.

It will be the happiest day of his current life.
