I know I haven't written or updated anything for a while but that is because I've been so busy with school and have had no inspiration. I'm really sorry about not updating. But good news is I'm working on a new story and one-shot so I might have some more stuff up soon and hopefully I will get around to updating at some point. Please enjoy! I know it's short but it's a drabble, so please don't flame me saying it was too short.

Warning: Character Death

Mother

His cold red eyes gazed into mine and somewhere in the back of my mind it registered that I had just seen my son brutally kill his own father. I can feel my body growing weak and beginning to tremble in fear and anticipation. My own son has turned on me. My pride, my joy, my love, my son. Numbly I'll stand and wait for my imminent death. I can't help but wonder what happened to my beloved son?

"Goodbye…" His stoic face contorted into a twisted grin. This boy was not my son; they only shared the same voice, body, and face. This was not my Itachi. My son loved his family and me; my son would never betray me, his own mother.

"Why?" Is all I can ask through my trembling lips before I watch him gracefully glide towards me as if in slow motion. His emotionless gaze never leaving my own as he slices through my stomach as if it was just air. At first I feel nothing but soon the pain over flows me and I gasp as I fall to the floor. I can't help the tears the fill my eyes as I stare at what is left of my son. He looks a little shocked but soon it's replaced by a smirk as he watches me fade away. It is strange seeing my entrails spilling from my body and blood surrounding me. I feel so empty like all my energy is being drained away. The sticky crimson substance staining my clothes as my body continues to become heavier. I feel so dizzy and filled with pain.

"I'm testing my strength," His monotonous voice breathed out softly making me think of how it used to be filled with kinder words. I still smile, for I will die only remembering the memories of my son before he was like this, before when he was still my son. I open my mouth to say something, but I realize I have nothing to say to him, the one I called my son is already dead.

As I close my eyes the last thing I see is Itachi staring at me the same blank eyes and expression on his face. The pain is gone and I know I'm dying and somehow I am accepting it. But with one last fleeting thought I have to wonder.

When did my son die?

And with that I take my final breath as I fade nothingness.
