Hey guys, miss me? I wrote this when I found out Itachi died in the manga. I decide it to post it as an apology for not posting anything. It's my first try at a bit of real horror. Enjoy! CB222


"Sakura, are you aware of the death of Uchiha Itachi."

'Does she know?' "I was not aware."

"Don't get your hopes up that Sasuke will return."

"Of course not." 'He's gone. They both are, thank Kami.'


"I need to clear my head."

The cream and light pink color gave her little comfort.

The shower head soak her hair through before she allowed herself to think.

'The man that haunted my every dream, no nightmare, is dead.'

She sank to the floor of the tub letting the water cascade down on her mixing with the tears she tried to keep inside. She curled into a fetal position and began to rock herself mumbling incoherent words to calm down. After the threat of a nervous breakdown past she slowly rose from the tub and stepped out to face herself in the mirror.

'This isn't me.'

The pale and drawn face she saw in the mirror was nothing like her own. The sunken eyes rimmed with red scared her the most.

'I just need to get some rest that's all.'

With a new cheery attitude Sakura combed through her medicine cabinet for the sleeping pills she use to never use but, found herself needing them even more now. The smile on her face from the success of finding the right bottle soon vanish as she moved the mirror back in place. The red eyes that haunted her dreams stared back at her. Hysteria bubbled in her throat.

"Noooo! You're dead! You can't hurt me anymore!"

The cloaked figure behind her moved to capture her arms in his grasp. Wrapping her up in a tight hold he moved his hand up the middle of her body until he reached her throat.

"Let me go!"

A sinister chuckle was her only answer as he made his ascent up her neck with his mouth. Placing featherlike kisses as he finally reached his destination. The ominous figure nipped at her ear as he purred his questions at her.

"Miss me kuro tenshi?"

"I-Ita-chi?"

"Aww, you didn't think I died, did you? That would let you off too easily. Then again, that's probably what you were hoping for too. Did you want me to die Koishii? You know you can't escape me even in death!"
