Hey guys! shinnju here~

Long time no see, haha sorry~

But here's a new one, short in length this time, more of a poem-esque style fic? Although I was never really one for a poetry, but this kinda just flowed out of my keyboard. Kinda angsty, really. Bear with me heh~

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, ALL NARUTO CHARACTERS, PLOT, ETC. ARE KISHIMOTO'S. THIS IS JUST FANWORK.

Also feel free to replace all the 'she' with 'he' or names, whatever fits your taste :)

Hope you all enjoy it! Please R&R at the end!

As captain, she knew the risks.

As captain, she knew the dangers.

As captain, she takes the risks.

As captain, she takes the dangers.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

She stands there silent, unmoving, but all knowing.

She stands there like a shadow.

The shadow in a blazing flame.

The shadow in a wavering flame.

The shadow where there is light, and where there is no light.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

Ears hear all secrets.

All hush hush.

All the whispered conversations meant for the dead.

All the secrets.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

Eyes see all the action.

All the blood that rains down.

All the scars that lace her outer physical.

All the wounds that flay open in the mental.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

Eyes and ears for the team.

Compensation for the team.

Success for the team.

Longevity for the team.

Secrets from the team.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

As captain, she suffers the most.

As captain, she suffers the least.

As captain, she bears the brunt of the short stick.

As captain, she loses her mind.

As captain, she loses her will.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

What others see, she does not take credit for.

What others don't see, she works relentlessly to right the wrong.

All in time.

All before time.

All for time.

All for the team.

As captain, she takes two for the team.

Until she cannot take anymore.

And no one will ever know.

Know what?

Everyone knows the team.

The team does not know the captain.

No one knows the captain.

The shadow.

The flame.

The dark.

The light.

Only the flame.


Thanks guys!
Please R&R!
