It was dark, black stretching tirelessly in every direction- there were no shadows, but only because there was no light to cast the shadows. It was suffocating, casting a feeling like the whole world was caving in on you, and she found herself struggling to breath. The past came rushing back to her, dimmed, hazy images playing in her mind, dream-like in essence. Blood, searing pain, cries; her chest tightened as the uncomfortable memories resurfaced. How long had it been? A day? A month? A year?
The screams still rang in her ears, but the silence that followed was even more deafening. She recalled numbly.
"Yuu."
Somebody was calling her, pulling her back to reality once more. The voice clicked in her mind within the tenth of a second- comforting and reassuring- had she not known whom it belonged to. Provided it was deeper than before, from what she remembered, but the same dull undertone was ever so present. He was unchanged, uncaring as ever.
When they were still children, undoubtedly, he did care; contain feelings. When they spent entire afternoons at the park, feet connected to short, five year old legs, barely skimming the edge of the pond water as they sat on the dock, he had been smiling. She remembered. When she ate his strawberry ice-cream, because he spent too long in the restroom and it was going to melt anyways, he had yelled at her, and called her a 'bad friend'. She remembered. When his parents were killed, he had cried. She remembered.
But even after that, he still yelled, and cried, and smiled or smirked, although possibly a bit less, day by day. He had been her ally when they played ninja, her indignant and quite unwilling duck- when they played house, her classmate- when they finally became Academy students, her teammate- on the rare occasions when they went on missions together, her friend, her childhood crush- possibly, but…
Not her everything.
Because he was the one who took her everything away.
The invisible bands tightened further as footsteps approached steadily and calmly, but she said nothing. Through the thick darkness she could hear a crinkle of clothes as he shifted slightly.
His voice came again, this time closer than before, directly in front of her. "Yuu."

Sasuke Uchiha let out a silent sigh as the girl sitting before him continued to indignantly pretend he didn't exist, or rather, wasn't right in front of her. Somewhere deep inside his conscience, he knew that one day he would live to regret that she didn't pretend he didn't exist altogether, but brushed it aside for now.
"Yuu," He repeated, yielding faint results this time, after a pregnant pause, as she gently nodded, and flashed him a quiet smile, misdirected as it was.
"Gomen ne, do I know you?" Her voice was soft, light, as if she wasn't really waiting for an answer at all.
Hollow was the word that slipped into mind immediately and his breath caught as even he wasn't sure how to answer. Her unseeing eyes looked straight ahead at his chest, emotionlessly. The scar that sat directly between both eyes -made by his kunai nearly three years back- marred her pure, milky skin. Perfect lips curled simply upwards in the corners, but held no meaning. Supposedly, it was a smile. She was so… different.
But he let it go. With a shake of his head, Uchiha Sasuke let the human part of her go, as he did with many other things. He needed her for power, and their past ties did not contribute to his strides.
So, he turned away silently, no longer physically capable of seeing her tears that unconsciously trickled out of her dark, dark raven eyes.
"Let's go."
