The Past Shapes the Future

Chapter 12

Sasuke had fully realized—during those two years that had passed since Gaara and the dobe had left that hideout—that he was lonely. He had missed how Linda had interacted with him. Two years since he had heard her voice, her laugh, her sigh. He especially loved her anger, but most of all her love.

Sasuke had once dubbed himself as an avenger, but how could he only want revenge? He couldn't keep anger or hatred inside of him because of her. She had saved him. She also told him the truth about what had happened that night when Itachi had murdered his Clan, leaving only him alive.

She told him of how Itachi was told to spy on his Clan—in hopes of stopping the soon to be rebellion. But when the Clan wouldn't stop he was ordered to kill them.

She had confessed to him that she had been there to stop the massacre. But she ended up spreading it to her Village. She also confided to him she never expected to not help. She had thought that if she was there she could have at least done something. She even told him she had offered to be the one who killed them all. But Itachi wouldn't let her.

Why? That was what Sasuke had asked her. Why did Itachi not let her help him? The Village couldn't do anything to her. She was the third's second grandchild from his first wife and heir to Jikokugakure. She smiled a sad smile when she told him why. That was the last thing she said before she left him—it was after Itachi went after Naruto and Sasuke lost.

"He wouldn't let me because of you. He said he wouldn't let the Clan's death come between our love."

Sasuke walked through the house he once thought he would never be in again. He heard some music and he knew instantly where she was and what she was doing. She was in the bigger training room and was about to do her special training for that jutsu.

He would love to do what she did—the moves—but he couldn't. Only those of the Royal Family—Demon—could do it. It had something to do with their chakra.

He watched her move, he couldn't move as the words of the song left her lips. He was paralyzed in awe. The song meant to be used when training for this jutsu.

~Love is a flame that can't be tamed~

Sasuke smirked; he knew from experience that love could never be tamed.

~And though we are its willing prey, my darling~

Sasuke was more than willing, if he was going to be honest about it.

~We are not the ones to blame~

No one could ever blame anyone could they? It was never anyone's fault.

~Trust is a word all lovers know~

Yes, to love someone means to trust them. They had trust.

~The glorious art of staining souls, my darling~

She was his darling, more than that. Staining souls huh? Suppose it could be fun in a way. Now what was that move she just did?

~We are not the ones to blame~

Who wasn't to blame?

~The more we have the more we want~

He always wanted more of her. That would never change.

~And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby~

In Sasuke's opinion hearts were too fragile. Baby…he was getting horny here. No she didn't…Sasuke was confused, did she just do that move to make him more horny?

~It always ends up in tears~

Tears were for the weak.

~So keep on pretending~

Why? Why should they pretend?

~Our heaven is worth the waiting~

Was it really? Now that was news to him.

~Keep on pretending it's alright~

~So keep on pretending~

~It will be the end of our craving~

That made Sasuke laugh, nothing would ever end his craving. Nothing but her body under his would end his craving. But that would just egg him on; nothing could end his craving of her. Now that move wasn't helping, did she really have to show her ample breasts off like that?

~Keep on pretending, it's alright~

~When doubts arise, the game begins~

Sasuke loved games, especially if the involved sex of some kind.

~The one we will never win, my baby~

Damn….he wanted to win too. Baby….why did that word make him more horny then he already was? She just wasn't going to let him go, with just the horny word was she? Did she just buck her hips?

~It always ends up in tears~

Tears again—he was sick of them. The only tears were the ones you get when you laugh so hard, those were the only ones that were okay.

~So keep on pretending~

~Our heaven is worth the waiting~

~Keep on pretending it's alright~

~So keep on pretending~

~It will be the end of our craving~

~Keep on pretending, it's alright~

~So keep on pretending~

~Our heaven is worth the waiting~

~Keep on pretending it's alright~

~So keep on pretending~

~It will be the end of our craving~

~Keep on pretending, it's alright~

~Love is a flame that can't be tamed~

Never, their love was too bright to be eclipsed.

~And though we are its willing prey, my darling~

More the willing, God knew he was willing. Darling…there was more hornyness now, damn it! Ok, this was going too far…that move should be illegal.

~We are not the ones to blame~

Love isn't anyone's fault

It ended and she stopped moving. She still looked like an angel to him…a fallen one of course. Those were the best kind and also the fun ones.

She smiled, just like he did when the music came on for the next song. It was their song. Her voice had begun to spread clearly throughout the room as she sang the first worlds.

~There was a time~

There always was a time, there always would be for them.

~When I could breath my life in you~

She turned around and was in front of him. She breathed into his open but shocked mouth. Then she moved barely a centimeter away and she giggled. He could feel it even though they weren't close.

~One by one~

He knew what to do.

~Your pale fingers started to move~

He moved his fingers one by one.

~And I touched your face~

She touched his face.

~And all life was erased~

Life wasn't erased, they thought, but their thoughts sure as hell were.

~You smiled like an angel~

He smiled as they sang the next part together.

~Fallen from grace~

The way the light hit them as they sang those words; they were convinced the other was a fallen angel. Now their voices really sang out.

~We've been slaves to this love~

That was the understatement of the year.

~From the moment we touched~

Touched? Oh yes, Sasuke wanted to do more than touch. Their fingertips touched.

~And keep begging for more~

God knew Sasuke wanted more. He wanted kissing and fucking that was what he really wanted. He wanted her beneath him screaming his name in response to what he was doing to her. Linda laughed; he was such a horny bastard.

Her fingers threaded through his, both of their hands were together.

~Of this resurrection~

She crossed their connected hands over her chest, while her chin rested in between them.

~We've been slaves to this love~

They took a step back and uncrossed their hands. And let go.

~From the moment we touched~

Their fingertips touched once more.

~And keep begging for more~

Once more they threaded together.

~Of this resurrection~

She crossed their intertwined hands over her chest once again. Then after a few seconds she let go. Linda started singing yet again by herself.

~You kissed my lips~

Sasuke didn't need more invitation then that. He kissed her.

~With those once cold fingertips~

His lips left hers and were replaced by his cold fingertips.

~You reached out for me~

He did as she told him too. It wasn't like he had a choice. The charka they were spinning together as they sang and touched willed him to.

~And oh how you missed~

He missed the cheek he had been aiming for.

~You touched my face~

When his hand connected with her cheek she leaned into it.

~And all life was erased~

All of their thoughts were erased once again.

~You smiled like an angel~

Both smiled as they sang together.

~falling from grace~

Oh that was the truth. Of course they had fallen…fallen for love.

They repeated the movements that were programmed into them the first time they did this. They sang with more passion then before. Their movements and touches produced more charka. The passion that had been bottled up since the last time they had met exploded between them. They repeated the chorus four times.

~We've been slaves to this love~

~From the moment we touched~

~And keep begging for more~

~Of this resurrection~

~We've been slaves to this love~

~From the moment we touched~

~And keep begging for more~

~Of this resurrection~

They fell to their knees and into each other's arms when they finished.

She laughed, "Whoa. We've never put so much charka into our training before. It was…are there any words for it Koi?"

He chuckled as he pulled her closer to him. "No, but I know what I was going to do next. This song of yours riled me up my dear. Your Koi has a…big problem that—"

She cut him off. "I can only help you with." She finished for him. She then gave him a deadly smile. He swallowed hard. "Better stay that way too."

She giggled at the way his eyes lit up. Then she saw him grab her and head up to their bedroom with a speed that Minato would have be jealous of. Especially if he knew what that they were going to spend the next few days confined to that bedroom.


So what do you think? Even though it was short, did you like it? I know you are all confused about what happened to her, and who she is, don't worry. If you stick around me and wait it will all be explained in detail in my new story: A New Start. I will post that up after this is through. Hopefully I can have Come Back To Me done as well over break, but don't be greedy moony! I still have to write those two chapters. But for this one i don't have to write it. Well...except for the last one. But that won't be hard.

You can't have everything (i know that!) Anyway leave a line, send me a review, ask me questions etc. I will answer them to the best of my ability. As long as it doesn't spoil anything!
