-Blue Moon-
The hour is late and the night is darkening. I lie here again as I have so many times before and I wonder, what have we become? Once we were children, full of beauty, loyalty, love and silly dreams. We promised to stick it out and triumph over evil.
We are older now.
I shucked the skin of childhood years ago. But not as quickly as you, oh no, you, YOU, shed yours like a snake, growing old and bitter swiftly. Your stoic cruelty made my skin peel, the happiness of youth slipped away, flaking from me like old sun scorched paint. You made me grow up. I hated that you made me. The loneliness of adulthood sank in and I shrank from the brightness of my youth, curling into my own shell, shying away from the world and from all I held dear.
The fire only ever burned for you. But now, now, it smolders, dark, glowing and hateful. Hating what you have become and hating even more the doubt you instilled in me.
How easy was I for you to toss aside?
You and I may have lost our childhoods, but his will not be stolen from him. Not while I still breathe. He believes in love, loyalty, and all our silly dreams. He believes in them with all his heart even if we have forgotten them, just as you and I have.
He is the Sun, you are the Moon and I am the vengeful Dawn.
If you crush Naruto's free spirit, like you crushed mine all those years ago Sasuke, I will kill you.
He still believes in you.
I do not.
He is the Sun, the central body around which we all revolve. You are the Moon, the thing we wished for. We can live without the Moon but not without the light of the Sun.
I, the vengeful Dawn, cannot live without the Sun
