Summary: A short poem about Sasuke's and Naruto's eyes and how they show what they're feeling and their past.
Disclaimer: I don't own Masashi Kishimoto's characters or the storyline.
Onyx vs. Cerulean
Sasuke's eyes were as dark as his mood that day
They reflected the nightmares and emotions he could no longer keep at bay
A history filled with hatred, frustration, and a strive for power
Those eyes could easily make any shinobi cower
Resentment towards the world around him
And the life of his teammate swinging on a whim
Cold strength and a fractured heart lay beneath
As he drew his deadliest weapon out of its sheath
The eyes of an Avenger
Dark as the night itself
The dreams of his childhood had been put on a shelf
A ninja of Konoha, he was no more
As he stared down at his headband and the scratch that it bore
Rain from the dark heavens bathed him
As he fell to his knees
He had nearly killed his friend and ignored his pleas
The only place to go to now was the Village Hidden in the Sound
And in the water pools gathering on the ground
He saw empty dark eyes
His eyes
Onyx
Naruto's eyes were as bright as the future ahead of him
Which at that moment, appeared very dim
A future without his best friend by his side
Because of a stupid matter of pride
Anger and determination flashes in his eyes
Just as the lightning above flashes in the skies
Hot strength and a pounding heart surfaced with a roar
Igniting everything with heat from the center of his core
The eyes of someone who had been through so much pain
Enough that could drive anybody insane
A blinding flash reflected in his orbs of boiling water
And for a mere second
The intent to slaughter
It was all too much for his body to take
And he hit the ground with enough force to make it quake
He had failed in every one of his attempts
And realizing this, he was filled with contempt
An internal cry of despair had been silenced
Empty blue eyes filled with tears
His eyes
Cerulean
