"We are all pawns in this deadly game."

"No, we are not living a game. Life is not a game."

"If it is not a game, Sakura, what is it?"

Her eyes glazed over. Her hands gripped where his kantana disappeared into her flesh, and protruded from the back. He watched her stare at him with an apathetic touch that he knew well. No tears fell from her cheek. There was just the emptiness in her eyes. Her breath became much more labored as she forced herself to look up. The rain splashed her unmasked face, rivulets playing along the contours of her facial characteristics. His red eyes fell to her lips and he watched her mouth twist into a wry but gifted smile. Without so much as moving her head, Sakura's eyes glanced his way.

"Hell."

He couldn't agree more.

Sakura observed him and watched as a rare smile formed on his thin lips. He leaned over and kissed the base of her neck and ripped the weapon from her dying body. Blood. There was so much…

Itachi…I always knew…

She gave him a true smile and reached her gloved hand in his direction.

I would die…by your hands…

And all was black.

Without looking back, he walked out of the clearing…leaving what little regained humanity he had; behind.
