Ikebukuro was as busy as ever. Shizuo made his way through the streets with Tom, heading over to his next job. When, Izaya had appeared.
"IIIIZZAAAYYAAAAA!" Shizuo yelled the instant he caught sight of him. This led to Shizuo grabbing the closest thing to him, a vending machine, and throwing it at the flea.
Izaya dodged, taunting Shizuo-chan even more. The chase had begun yet again, like it did every so often, causing miscellaneous things to be thrown through the streets.
While this happened, the streets were filled with whispers. One word to describe Shizuo and his abnormal strength.
Monster.
Itachi and Kisame were walking through one of the many forests, heading to their next destination. The two had decided to take a rest and regain energy before heading out to the next town.
This gave Itachi some time to look back on his past, on what he had done to ensure the safety of his little brother. Killing the whole Uchiha clan was the only thing he could do.
"Brother…why?" Sasuke's voice rang through his head, filled with innocence and horror at the sight of the Uchiha massacre.
He didn't have a choice. It was to maintain peace in Konoha. If he didn't kill them, a war would have broken out. No one knew the truth about the massacre.
Everyone saw Itachi as a monster.
The two never wanted their life to be so complicated. Everyday was a challenge for them, avoiding a person, or people, who seemed to be out to ruin what little peace they had. Yes, peace.
It was something the two had in common. It was their favorite word, what they truly strived for but could never be obtained.
Would they ever be able to obtain peace? Was it even possible for the two? Living such different lives, in different worlds, never would they expect to meet each other.
Author's Note: Seriously? Am I the only one who noticed this? These two are treated like monsters (well...not really...but...kinda) and all they want is peace. I don't even know how this worked out in my head.
