Hitori: Shot one-shot.
In the Darkness
In the darkness
There is nothing
Nothing but you and me
In the darkness
Nothing is seen
But I know you are there
In the darkness
Nothing is known
But the wish for light
In the darkness
It's where we stay
Light has forever gone away
In the darkness
We realize this now
Best friends
Worst enemies
Forever lost together
In the darkness
Let's face it; we're not getting out of here. We came in so uncaringly and now we're trapped, like rats, in the darkness. Did we die, Sasuke? Are we in hell, Sasuke? Did you drag me here along with you, Sasuke, a final act of rivalry before the eternal after life? What goes through your mind now as we travel around blindly, side by side, unknowing of where we are walking, only hoping to find light? Are you even hoping to find light, Sasuke? Or are you getting us more lost in hopes that I will never get away? Do you want me here with you forever, Sasuke? Is that why you dragged me here with you? Or was that an accident? Were you trying to save yourself by grabbing onto me? Did you think I would save you, would want to save you?
3 years, Sasuke. You left the village three years ago. I promised Sakura I'd bring you back, that we would bring you back. You killed her, Sasuke. Why did you do that? I have no answers, and I do want them, but I don't want to voice them. My inquiries, I'm certain, will be answered sooner or later. We do have an eternity together, don't we, Sasuke?
Why have we stopped, Sasuke? Shouldn't we continue searching for what we will not find? Why have you taken my hand Sasuke? Why? All I have been asking is why. Who... Who are you, Sasuke? Are you the boy I once knew, or Oorochimaru's servant?
"I'm sorry," you whisper.
Sorry? Sorry for what? Sorry for leaving? Sorry for joining Oorochimaru? Sorry for killing Sakura? Sorry for bringing me here? Sorry for everything? Or are you sorry for nothing at all Sasuke? Explain, Sasuke, I don't read minds. Though I wish I could. I wish I could read your complex thoughts and see what you see. I think I would understand then.
"I'm sorry...for all I've done wrong."
Only what you've done wrong Sasuke? Living was a major thing you've done wrong. Your brother should have killed you as well. Why are you leaning on me Sasuke? I thought you needed no one.
"Please, please forgive me!" your scream as you cry into my shirt.
Forgive you? Forgive you for what? For all that you are sorry for? For all the ways you have wronged me? I'm beyond being able to forgive you, Sasuke.
"I...I'm such an idiot! Thinking HE would give me power! I was wrong, Naruto! Please, PLEASE forgive me and tell me everything will be okay!! PLEASE!" Sob harder and bring us to the "ground". So pathetic, Sasuke, look at what you have become! Forgive you? Hah! Not in a million years.
You sob harder and cling tighter to me. I haven't said anything and you're beginning to believe I won't forgive you and tell you what you want to hear. Why should I, Sasuke?
Why am I only thinking of myself? Sasuke needs me! Being like this won't solve anything! So I wrap my arms around you and tell you what you need to hear. Then we lay down, holding each other close as we close our eyes and go to sleep, the eternal sleep.
Here in the darkness
It's where we stay
Forever held
In the darkness's arms
But we could care less
As we sleep eternity away
In each others arms
We are known to no one
We know no one else
For we are alone
But fine with that, too
Here, in the darkness.
