Regret one can never forget
There are a great many things I regret in my life. A lot of them would be frowned upon by other people. I can't say that everything I did had a good reason but somehow things have a way of catching up to people. I don't remember how I got to this point of thought. In fact I don't remember when I lost control. This always happens when I lose control I get pushed to the back of the mind and something else controls my body. While I'm stuck in the back of my own head I start to think of the things that I don't want to think about.
Like how this all started. I remember back to that day. I am to blame for a lot of the misfortune that happen to Sakura. Even if this fight started many years before she came into the picture. I never like to think back to those days but when ever I enter this state that is the only thing I can do. That day that seems so long ago yet so very present in my mind.
" I don't want to. Why do we have to go into hiding?" I hissed as Itachi looked over to me He put his hand over my head then patted it. I really hate it when he does that. It makes me feel like a child I didn't want to go back to sleep just when I learned to fly. The reason was stupid and brother laughed a bit as we're about to go our own way. He turned to me and looked at me. "Look Sasuke I don't like it either but it's what's best of the demon tribe."
"It's still ridicules that we of all people must step aside." I growled at him. He didn't understand me at all.
"Mother and father have already entered their sleep and won't wake up for another 400 years. Do you really want to be awake that long? You'll start to age you know." He smiled at me and pinched my cheek. "On second thought it might take away some of that baby fat." He teased as I slapped his hand away. He smiled at me and was about to walk into his room when an explosion rattled the walls and made us turn.
"That came from father's room." I stated as we both sprinted breathlessly to the source. Itachi slammed the door open and the sight that awaited us was a thing of nightmares. We stood breathless for a second before I grabbed Itachi's arm.
"Mother!" I yelled as we both sprinted to her room. We burst through the doors to find her pale ivory figure on the bed asleep two guards at the side of her bed. The room stood untouched.
"Be on your guard!" ordered Itachi as we looked around the room. The stone statues saluted us and got their weapons ready. My heart was beating wildly in my chest as the room we left behind hunted my mind. It burned into my skin and into the very air was breathing. I looked over to mother and somehow she gave me strength. I had to protect her no matter the cost. I was about to report that I hadn't found anything on my end when the sword of the stone guard caught my attention. I moved out of the way as it came down on me. I moved again as I yelled out to Itachi
"Look out!" I yelled as he looked behind him in time to avoid the swing of the guard's sword.
"What the hell is going on here?" Itachi Yelled. They came at him with a passion and were relentlessly as they attacked him. I tried to avoid them again but my anger was getting the best of me. He swung at me again and it was the last straw. Using my claws I ripped into his chest ripping apart the stone surface.
"Sasuke NO!" Itachi yelled out as the stone started to break apart. A blue light came out of the guard before the stone crumbled to the ground at my feet and the human guard inside it fell to the floor with a gaping hole in his chest. A bright light went around mother's bed as it wrapped it's self around the bed be for it broke apart into millions of small shattered pieces of glass. Before I had time to think Itachi yelled out in pain. I looked over to him to find him on the floor bleeding with a stone sword stabbed in his back.
" Itachi!" I yelled as I noticed not one stone guard but three. The one that stabbed Itachi pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the other guard. The same light came out of him as the stone around him broke apart and the human inside spit out blood before he went down too. The same light went around mother's bed before it burst into fragments. Barriers, my mother's barriers were broken. More guards started to walk into the room as I was about to destroy them all when I heard yelling from the hall.
"Kill the demons!" a roar of agreement went into the air and pounding of feet could be heard in the hallway. Humans! In the castle it wasn't possible! Grabbing Itachi by the arm I dragged him out of the way. He groaned in pain but otherwise I knew he was alive. I stood before mother's bed ready to fight. I tried to rack my brains for the protection shield but I was drawing a blank. They were getting closer and I was panicking. If the guards where barriers and I destroy them things will go unbalanced and the location of these rooms would be relived to the human intruders. My choices weren't pretty.
Whoever planned the whole thing made sure I had no way out. I looked at the oncoming horded and the hair in the back of my neck stood on its ends. The guards were immune to magic so there was no way to trap them. The humans were another matter. I wasn't supposed to harm them but how else would I stop them? I looked down at my feet. The human guard bleeds out as I looked at my hand. I had killed a human now, so the second rule should not matter right?
"What's with that look on your face?" came a voice I knew. I knew that voice well.
"Uncle?" I asked unsure if I was hearing things.
"Well Sasuke it seems your holding out better than I expected. It's a shame really. You were my favorite nephew." He smiled as he stood in the middle of the stone guards.
"Why are you doing this?" I hissed out.
"Do you really have to ask?" He replied with a lazy tone. "Power, Sasuke." He stated. "Do you really think I wanted to be under my brother's shadow forever? My stupid younger brother who had compassion for humans? The very humans that killed him and now spit on his remains? How do you think they got in? The stone guards are your protectors but they were also human at one point. Human's who's hearts can be corrupted." He stated as he looked behind him as to hear the madness that was yet to spill into this room. "The power of the clan belongs to me and neither you nor your brother will stand in my way."
"You kill father." I stated as everything seem to come together. "For power?" I asked myself. "Your own brother, for the sake of power?" I asked though at this point I no longer knew who I was asking. For some odd reason I started to laugh.
"What do you find so funny?" he asked as I laughed harder. My eyes watered from so much laughter as I bent down. After getting control over myself I picked up my head as he flinched at the sight of me.
"The fact that you think you can take me on." I rolled my head to the side as that was the first time I felt it. The pull of the demon living in me, my other half. It was as if someone throw a fishing hook through my body and yanked out a part of me. I became a watcher and the animal side took control. I knew what I was doing but at the same time I just went with the flow of things. It seems what I had forgotten my demon remembered as I stretched out my hand with my palm facing mother. A web of blue light escaped my fingertips and wove around the bed.
Itachi had managed to get back on his feet as he cradled his wound.. His eyes were blood red and his face was smeared with his own blood. He looked insane at this point though it didn't matter if he was or wasn't.
"Now, won't this be fun?" he mocked us. He pointed at us and the guards came in hoards at us. Like braking glass one after another the guards shattered at our hands each time we broke one a door was reviled to the humans. Barrier after barrier they all fell and the laugher that rang in my ear I still remembered till this day.
Pieces of stone flew everywhere and scattered at our feet along with the bodies that were once in cased in that stone. Like small explosions we heard every barrier fall one after another. Body after body they fell and rage was the other thing I could feel. It felt like the sharpest claws raking at my chest ripping apart my insides. It seem like something died inside of me each time my hands made contact with human flesh. The more I fed this dark need the wilder I became. I didn't notice the blood that dripped from my hands or the laughter that invaded the room. My focus was to kill anything in sight. I was about to finish off another guard when I saw the doors burst open. Humans, all with weapons in their hands. One of them was holding a piece of my fathers head.
Anger became my only emotion that I could comprehend. Anger at being betrayed anger at father's death all of it. It was like one event triggered another and like a domino effect everything fell. The last door inside me opened like flood gate and before I knew it, I stepped into a world I never thought I would be able to pass this stage so early on in life. I never thought I could manifest my other self at this age it was unheard of, yet it was happening and pain I felt was colossal.
Every bone in my body erupted like molten lava as my insides burned vigorously. All I knew was that anger coursed though me. That burning anger that snapped at me.
"Sasuke No! Not in anger!" yelled Itachi but it was to late it consumed me. "SASUKE!" yelled but I didn't listen.
"Sasuke!" came a voice that didn't belong in my memory. It pulled me back to reality
"Naruto watch out!" came more screaming
"Sasuke!" yelled a girl who some how I knew. " Sasuke wake up!"
"Naruto don't!"
"SASUKE!"
