Sasuke clasped his hands together, trying to stop the inevitable shaking. He sat by the window, ear pressed amongst the glass listening to the sizzling of the rain and the harmony of words entering his mind from some sort of distance. "And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground," the words penetrating deep into his core. "And if they get me take this spike to my heart," the sound pulsated in Sasuke's veins and he imagined the stake nestled in his hands and aiming for his heart. Just breathe and listen, he thought to himself. "And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones?" Would it? Sasuke continued thinking. The clouds blocked the sun from reaching the moist earth and better yet Sasuke's fragile body. "And then as razor sharp white teeth." Where were these strange words coming from? Why were they pestering the boy until he cried for the words to stop, but they kept strong. "Rip out our necks, I saw you there." Two people flashed inside Sasuke's confused head. One of Itachi and the other of someone unknown. A woman with piercing eyes and an unforgettable poised, almost forced looking , stance.
"Someone get me to a doctor, someone get me to a church!" Sasuke screeched as the exact words entered his ears. "Where they can pump this venom gaping hole!" Everything suddenly changed perspective. Right now to Sasuke, everything seemed darker. He reached to rest on the wall, but missed falling straight to the ground. 'And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat.' The words continued. "And what if they come and get me?" Sasuke yelled to the atmosphere.
"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Itachi interrupted, staring at his brother on the floor speaking nonsense.
"What if you put the spike in my heart?" Sasuke smirked, a cynical smile portruding on his lips.
"What in the world?" Itachi asked.
"Can you take this spike?" Sasuke no longer heard the words, he knew the words.
"Spike?"
"Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?"
"It's the afternoon."
" Can you take this spike? Will it wash away this jet black feeling?"
"Sasuke!"
" And now the nightclub sets the stage for this, they come in pairs."
"What are you saying?"
"She said we'd shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey, they're always there," Sasuke took a long dragging breath. "Someone get me the doctor and someone call the nurse."
"Why?"
"And someone buy me roses and someone burned the church! We're hanging out with corpses and drivin' In this hearse!"
"Hearse?"
"Can you stake my heart?"
"What?
"Can you stake my heart?"
"Huh?"
"CAN YOU STAKE MY HEART?" Itachi promptly punched his brother in the face. Sasuke's eyes closed. "What's going on?"
