Clipped Wings

I have this dream every so often.
The sky is blackened by the flight of thousands upon thousands of black, glossy birds.
The moon is crimson red, the color of a freshly opened wound.
All around me, everyone I know, everyone I love is dead. And all I can do is watch, feeling helpless, defeated.
Even now, as I live my life, I am still an indentured servant. I was once a slave to Hyuuga, and now…
Now I am a slave to Akatsuki. The Red Dawn.
"I can help you escape your cage. I can make you free. But you must give yourself to me as payment."
That's what he told me.
Being the young, miserable fool, I gave in to his demands.
I left behind my family, my friends, the one I loved.
Itachi-sama says we'll kill the one I love someday. We'll kill him because he has our ultimate goal. The thing we want the most.
Kyuubi no Kitsune. The Nine-tailed Fox. The most powerful of the tailed Bijuu.
What few Bijuu we possess aren't enough. It's never enough.
I was stupid.
I was a complete and utter fool.
Once, when my eyes were clouded, and I was blind, I thought I would forever be trapped. Now that my eyes and unclouded and I can see all, I realize that I had been free that entire time.
Now I truly am what they say.
I am a caged bird.
And then, I wake up and cry.
Naruto, grant me my one wish, and kill me someday.
Life isn't worth living knowing that I can't be the one by your side.
I should have told Itachi-sama no.
never be afraid to deny
