DISCLAIMER: Naruto's not mine...
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Alright.. this is the continuation of the Anger: Part 1... Thanks to everyone who reviewed. you guys really made me happy... Sakura really is leaving him... but in a different kind of way... this is still the continuation of the story about the 8 months to live thingy... but i guess it was shortened... anyway.. i'll explain everything in the next chapter... Dying Embers has become some sort of related drabbles that can stand alone if need be. I'm starting to feel that my stories are too cliche.
ANGER: Part 2
I think I've forgotten how to 'feel'?
The moment she gave her last breath, I became numb… numb to everything… I don't know... maybe I was just shocked... or maybe... I don't really know... just... I wonder...
"Uchiha-san…"
"Uchiha-san, may I please speak to you for a moment?"
I wonder when I'm going to remember how to 'feel' again…
… or if I ever will.
I don't even flinch when I hear the doctor announce my wife's time of death… the cause of her death… death at childbirth… hemorrhage… massive bleeding…
"U-uchiha-san... I-I'm s-sorry for your l-loss... S-sakura-san is... was... I'm s-sorry... I-I d-don't know what to say... I'll just call on N-naruto-kun now, if that's okay with you... h-he would h-have to be informed..."
Their words fall on deaf ears...
I'm numb… numb to everything…
... wh-
… what's that I hear?
… is that… oh God forbid… is that the sound of someone 'crying'?
stopcryingstopcryingstopcryingstopcrying...
"Uchiha-san, it's a boy…a healthy baby boy... would you like to… erm… hold him?"
damnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnit...
It seems like I might relearn one of my emotions sooner than I thought.
"Get that… that thing… out of my sight."
"B-but Uchiha-san… he's your son."
"I – don't – care. Now get him out of my sight."
"H-hai, U-uchiha-san."
…Ah… what was this feeling again? So... familiar... Oh yes… I remember now… anger. This is anger...
