I lay there trembling and sick. It was dark…so utterly dark.
It was like I was drowning…drowning in everything I hated…Everything that I despised.
My past
My nightmares
Villains that called out my name
And all the things I feared.
"Nee-san!" I screamed but no words came through my mouth.
"Help me! Please…where am I?"
Black
Nothing but the darkness
"Is this a genjutsu? An illusion to make me cower in fear?" Suddenly flashes of images and feeling surged through my brain, I screamed out in terror. How many times did I feel myself get torn to pieces? How many times was my past replayed in the back of my brain?
That's when I remembered. Nee-san and I had been attacked. Orochimaru hit me with something…a genjutsu of some sort
Now im trapped here in oblivion.
Arms grab my body
Dragging me down further into my nightmares
Into a world were all my fears are shoved deep into my soul.
"Somebody help me please!" I felt like I had been floating here for hours. My whole body hurt. I could feel my insides tightening and expanding in my ever-changing emotional tide.
"Sasuke…"
"Who's there?"
"Can you here me?"
"Nee-san?"
"Its just a dream"
"Help me!"
"It's going to be ok"
"HELP!"
I scream and cry out for him…Begging him to take me away from this darkened hell.
"PLEASE HELP ME!"
I wail and cry harder as more horrible images flash through my mind. I watch as Kasara and my friends are torn to pieces right infront of me.
"Make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!"
Darkness
Deeper and deeper…im falling….it hurts…it hurts….
Suddenly I can feel my body being ripped apart. Limb by Limb. I don't know who or what is doing this to me. But I can feel it…and it hurts…I scream outwards towards the darkness, but nobody can hear me and my voice is silent
"Wake me up…" I realize I am giving into the darkness…
Is there anybody?
Help me…
Help me…
And then I feel it…
Warm arms rapping themselves around me. A soft voice sings my name. Making my head feel numb.
"Can you here me?"
"Yes…" I say quietly…focusing on that warm light that's engulfing me.
"It's just a genjutsu sasuke…focus on me…"
"I am…"
"I love you…"
"Nee-san"
"Sasuke"
"Say it again"
"I love you"
Im focusing…all my will power is being forced into his light. That beautiful warm light that's making me feel so damn calm. Its moving its way through me…making me feel lighter.
"Again…"
"I love you…"
The words echo in my brain.
Im calm
Im safe.
And then a wake up.
The first thing I see is my brother's shoulder and cloak. It was carefully draped over me. Just like a satin sheet. Slowly…feeling came back into my body. First the cold air stung my lungs and I gasp. Then the aching in my bones made my body shudder. I was crying…crying and crying into Itachi's frame.
"Sasuke"
"Nee-san…Nee-san..."
"I love you"
I let out a sudden wail and dug my face into him. I was engulfed…I was petrified…completely surrounded by his never-ending embrace. He was breathing slowly.
All I could feel was his warmth
All I could see was him
All I could smell was his lush fragrance.
"I love you too…"
