Until We Gain Mortality Chapter 2
Yuzu created a genjutsu to hide the true looks of the Black Rose members. When she reached the tavern the tavern-keeper nodded at her and she took the stage. She scanned the room before sarting off with a song that could put angel's to shame. Unknown to her, cold, black eyes stared at her form.
Sparkling grey, in my own veins Just get through this day Give up your way, you could be anything, Sickened in the sun You're just so pretty in your pain Give up my way, and I could be anything So run, run, run You lied to me Demanding my responses And you'll never hurt me again
Any more than a whisper
Any sudden movement of my heart
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away
Give up my way,
and lose myself,
not today
That's too much guilt to pay
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate...hate...hate...hate
And hate me, if it feels good
I can't hear your screams anymore
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out
Everyone clapped and bowed as Mao let Yuzu have the piano.
Goodnight
Sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning
I'll be here
And when we say goodnight
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight, and not goodbye
We said goodnight, and not goodbye
Dark eyes widened in the corner as he listened to the familiar lullaby. It amazed him that after all those years of listening, he finally heard the song that had once made his heart ache. He watched as the girl walked into her room. Sasuke got up and followed, leaving a confused Snake behind.
Yuzu had just entered her room when she heard a knock on the door. She opened it slightly to see a man that was similar, yet older, than her Sasuke. She released the genjutsu on herself and him. They were in their twelve year old forms, staring at each other.
"Sasuke..." She whispered. He smirked and she surpressed a laugh. It was the same old Sasuke she remembered, but. he seemed more at ease now.
Yuzu went into his arms and they embraced. Sasuke looked down at her, eyes shining. She laughed and nodded, pulling down her collar. He dug his fangs into her neck and she moaned softly. He licked the wound and pulled his teeth out. Sasuke picked her up in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
With his help, she managed to get in a comfortable position and pierce his skin with her fangs as well. A gasp was heard and she quickly pulled her teeth out. The two turned around to see a disgusted girl and the rest of Sasuke's team.
Sasuke put his favorite vampire on her feet and looked at the disgusted and shocked Karin. She ran into Sasuke's arms, leaving Yuzu on the ground rubbing her head. She growled slightly and Snake stepped back. Sasuke smirked.
"Now that's the Yuzu I know." She smirked and looked back at him from the corner of her eyes.
"So, who have you killed in your quest to kill all Akatsuki members?" Yuzu snorted.
"I have killed all, but Pein, Hidan, Tobi, as he refers to himself as, and Konan." Sasuke nodded his head, obviously impressed that she managed to kill Sasori, Deidara, who blew himself up, and Kakuzu, who was forced to watch his money burned and then killed simply.
Karin sneered at Yuzu who was ignoring the girl.
"Karin,"Sasuke started. The girl perked up after hearing him address her.
"Go to your rooms with the rest of you guys." Karin was about to protest, but Sasuke's stern face made her retreat. Mao and Fuyumi headed back to their rooms as well. Suigetsu looked at Sasuke and then at Yuzu.
"You have some explaining to do tomorrow." Sasuke nodded and watched as his follower left. Yuzu walked into her room and Sasuke shut the door behind them. She layed on the bed and Sasuke layed next to her. He took her in his arms and held her close; something he wanted to do for years.
"Sing for me." Yuzu smiled shortly against his chest before a slow melody came out.
The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you
Goodnight
Sasuke looked in her eyes and kissed her lips tenderly.
When we're together, I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me
Her eyes closed slowly and he her closing eyes.
"Yuzu, marry me. Promise you'll stay with me." She smiled. Her answers in lyrics.
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you
That you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you
Her eyes were getting heavy so she decided to end the song soon. She went into automatic meditation.
So many nights I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me, I love myself
I never thought I would say this
I never thought there'd be
You
Sasuke watched as her eyes got even heavier and her breathing became even. He finally closed his eyes and for once in the last five years, he was able to meditate naturally and get some well deserved rest.
