Tears Shed into Blood
Journal Entree #1
Hey guys! I have just finished Chapter 1 and started on Chapter 2 of Tears Shed into Blood. The first chapter was really short, and I must apologize for it. I just believed that that was the perfect place to end. I wanted you to think of the very last sentence. Whether the idea worked or not was beyond me. However, if you are reading this, then I would like you to know that I feel that I need to make the plot complex.
I don't want a blind story of love like those in Twilight (if you like the book, then please do not get offended). I do believe that good literature should revolve around true love, not in just boy/girl romance, but also in family wise. I also believe in good poetic sense as well, thus the "I believe I just made the sky rain blood" sentence.
I adopted that sentence from a very touching series. I thank Nobuhiro Watsuki for the brilliant piece of inspiration, Rurouni Kenshin. Please watch or read it. I'd be thrilled to find if any of you enjoy the work as much as I do. Back on track, I adopted the sentence from the OVA, Trust and Betrayal, from Tomoe as she saw Kenshin commit murder. It was an eerie scene that held too many emotions to explain.
Also, another beautiful piece of literature that has yet to be finished is also one of my main inspirations to make this project perfect, even though my writing skills are very far away from professional. This piece would be Kyuushutsu by Terry-McElrath, another fellow FanFiction writer. Please check out her VERY professional work on Rurouni Kenshin. It was perfect.
Anyway, I got very off track, so now I'll stop my rambling and start explaining the summary of what I hope will become a complex story, but the summary would be less detailed, and possibly will be very confusing.
SUMMARY:
Tears Shed into Blood is a story who's main characters are Sasuke Uchiha and Madara Uchiha. The story begins after Itachi's death. Sasuke finally had his revenge, but still felt a hole in his heart. Uncertain of what he was missing, Sasuke looks for a reason to live once more. That is, before he went face to face with his very alive mother in a dream while he was unconscious. There, confessions were revealed as Sasuke proved that he did feel the need of redemption. He did regret many things in life.
Eventually, secrets were revealed of his brother's life and Sasuke's story was replayed in his mind, causing the teen to realized ever mistake he'd made. Seeing the sadness, Mikoto, his mother, sends him back in time where he became a 12 year old, only this time, he wasn't in his time. He was back in time when Madara was about to make Konoha.
Using his powers from the future, Sasuke slowly shapes Konoha into a place where he believes that nobody would have to suffer the way he did. However, just as slowly, he falls in love with Madara as he sees the gentler side of his relative before darkness claimed said person.
As he confessed later on, he soon realized a part of life that Madara had never revealed in his other timeline. Madara had taken the oath never to fall in love again because of his mysterious past. However, he soon realizes that love is worth the cost after he saw how much Sasuke was willing to sacrifice for the village and for him.
This was what I have so far. The summary was of very limited detail as I'm not sure whether I can juggle my school life that is coming up, my social life right now, and my writing life right now as well.
I hope this story will be a success. Please tell me what you think :)
