DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTOO
Chapter 27
Bloodstained Walls
Written by Traitor of Heaven
"Do you boys want to join too?" we asked in unison.
A small smirk lit up on my face as I watched there faces turn form one of anger to that of shock. However the shock didn't last too long, Haru's face held a small glimmer of hope that was more or less concealed but you could still see it. Deidara's was a little more strange, his lips slowly formed a smirk and I wasn't too sure why. But he was giving us a strange look that was hard to distinguish. I bit my lip uneasily but it probably looked more seductive than anything. I soon grew tired of our game and untangled myself from Alicia who was giving Haru a disgusted look because right about now he was giving her a lost puppy sort of look. His pathetic puppy dog look immediately evaporated the moment we stood up and walked around him heading straight for the door. It was fancy and pretty which was the complete opposite of the room they had given us looked like. Our room had dark gray walls and cold stone floors; the bed was a twin sized one which wasn't that bad seeing as how we normally slept in a twin sized bed together back home. But over all the room looked like something a prisoner would be sleeping in, not some fancy bedroom like they were trying to bribe us for something. Not that it's work anyway, it didn't work with Orochimaru and it wouldn't work now.
My stomach let out a nearly audible growl and I just realized I was super hungry and I was slowly becoming annoyed.
I sighed and tried to swiftly leave the room but an arm shot out and blocked my path, I glared over at Deidara with a stony look on my face. I was not in the mood for him nor did I want to play with his ass.
"Get out of the way." I said my voice was flat and cold, the words were harsh even to my standards. My dark green eyes gazed into his sky blue ones but unlike mine his held a strange amusement like the smirk that graced his lips. My eyes narrowed and I stared at him angrily as my patience was slowly decimating.
"Move." He remained just the way he was, the same smirk on his face. I was really started to hate that smirk normally I wouldn't have been so irritable. But not only was I PMSing I was hungry and tired. So tired, not just physically but mentally as well, this was all so tiring I just needed some rest. I needed to make all of this go away; all of it needs to disappear. Nothing is like before; I thought this would be fun I thought it be like a vacation, meet the characters, have fun, and go home. Not like this, not having to fend for ourselves, fight for our lives not any of this. I was really angry.
I wanted to go home.
I wanted to see my family.
I want to see them.
"Get the fuck away from me!" I screeched and pushed him back against the door frame before storming out without so much as a glance back. I glared straight ahead of me and I could briefly hear the soft pattering of footsteps that continuously drew closer.
Closer to me.
I don't want anyone around me, I want to be alone, I want to go home, why doesn't anyone realize that, why can't they see me. Why can't they tell that being here is tearing me apart, that being away is ripping me to shreds?
Why am I so alone?
Because you deserve to be.
Go away.
You can't deny it, you were meant to be alone.
You don't know me.
I know everything about you.
That's a lie.
You know it isn't.
Go away.
I thought you didn't want to be alone.
Leave me alone.
You can't run forever.
…
The voice was dark and dangerous I could even tell that, I had no idea where it came from but I had always felt the dark shadow lurking behind me since Perdysia Kaliren. I haven't ever seen the speaker but I know I'm not going crazy, I know it wasn't a hallucination.
My steps echoed through the hallways, it was silent, very silent I knew I was alone. I knew at this hour it was too late for anyone to be up. Tears still poured down my face from all of my anger and sadness, I leaned up against the wall and sighed while falling to the floor causing a resonating bang. I closed my eyes drew my legs to my chest and put my head down, so I could rest my head.
It was only suppose to be for a few seconds just to clear my head but my fatigue caught up with me and I slowly relaxed and lost consciousness.
It was dark, really dark but soon all of it cleared up I was standing in a small room lit by florescent lights. I was looking into a large mirror where I stared at my own reflection, my eyes were dull and lifeless like giant black holes my face was white and emaciated like I was sick or dying. My brown hair was longer than I remembered it being but it too was dull and had little volume like it normally had. Behind me were stalls and I knew I was in a bathroom, my school bathroom.
I was at school again.
I readjusted my school bag that was plaid and purple and I walked out the door and into the hallway of G-building. I turned left and began to walk down the hall way leading to F-building or as it was more commonly known as the cafeteria. The hallways where dark because of the darkening days of the on-coming winter and the lights were off. It was nice walking without having the bright florescent lights blaring down but at the same time it was creepy. The cement walls that were painted white were illuminated by the small windows on the left side that only gave so much light due to the earliness of the day. I walked down the large red ramps hoping to reach the cafeteria quickly and get to my Zero Period class.
But the lights began to flicker ominously as I stared up at them they all shut off again, I looked at the big red double doors leading to the abandoned cafeteria and began to walk a little more quickly. My eyes widened as the lights flickered on in a row and then off again and once the all flickered off at the same time the turned back on just as fast. My legs began to shake as deep crimson blood decorated the wall like large paint splatters.
Tears sprang to my eyes as I read the sentence written in red on the lighter red doors.
YOU CANNOT SAVE THEM. THEY WILL ALL DIE…
My head shot up and I came face to face with a black cloak with red and white clouds on it. I slowly looked up at the person who stood in front of me in a careless way. I probably looked a mess but I didn't care too much, I stretched my legs in font of me not bothering to avoid the man in front of me instead I just put my feet on top of his as I tried to quell my trembling caused not only by the dream but by the raven-haired Itachi in front of my.
He didn't say anything about my sleeping in the middle of the hall way or about my scared expression. He probably got that a lot and I was thankful for it. I stared up at his obsidian eyes and he stared into my dark green ones, with his Sharingan turned off I slightly wondered if he could see me because I certainly knew I couldn't. I was glad that over the years my attentiveness has increased allowing me to know people even if they are blurry.
Biting my lip I looked down and moved over a bit I patted my hand on the floor and looked back up at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Sit down, c'mon," I said slowly vaguely wondering why he was staring at me. My request was left hanging in the air because he made no indication that he'd heard me not that I thought he would. He didn't falter, didn't move he just…watched me. I tried to avoid eye contact and I decided I liked his feet better than his face. His feet weren't scary or stoic like his eyes were.
We stayed like that for quite awhile, I had no idea what to say and I wasn't sure he did either. So that's how stayed, silent and unmoving. Almost to the point where I was ready to fall asleep but I wouldn't do that, not with him standing there. Not when an S-ranked criminal who killed his family graced me with his presence.
So I just thought about things, I thought about my dreams about why I was having gruesome nightmares. I thought about all of the things that were going to happen while we were here. I thought about how Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, Gaara and all the other characters I like were going to die. I thought about how I have never thought of them as being real people and even now I still don't.
But for the most part I thought about death, about how many times I cried when my favorite characters died. They needed to be saved, they needed me to save them, and I couldn't allow so many innocent people to be killed. I couldn't, no; I wouldn't allow them to die.
You cannot change what is meant to happen.
I can still try.
It won't do any good.
You don't know that.
I do.
Shut up.
Running again? Can't you face the truth?
I'm not.
You are.
No.
Stop running and face the truth.
I can save them.
You can't even save yourself.
It won't matter.
What can you do, you're pathetically useless.
I'm not useless, I can save them.
You can't, you know you can't.
I can do it.
Stop lying to yourself, you can't do anything.
Shut up.
You're useless
Shut up!
Pathetic little girl.
"SHUT UP!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs, my eyes widened as I realized that I had screamed aloud. I looked up at Itachi who still looked as stoic as usual, the image of his bloody smile just before he died passed through my head and I squeezed my eyes shut.
"I won't let you die." I whispered almost silently but I knew with his ninja hearing he probably heard it, I heard a soft sigh and warmth began to press up next to me. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the teenage boy who was now staring at the wall trying his best not to look awkward or show any type of emotion. I smiled slowly realizing this is probably his way of showing comfort and emotion. He was trying to make me feel better even though I was upset.
"Thank you Itachi." I said but this time a little louder, he tensed slightly at my sign of gratitude and I just stared at the wall trying to make him feel more comfortable as well. We sat there for hours and I bit my lip trying not to show my discomfort at the fact I was hungry but I didn't want to be rude.
A soft weight fell in my lap and I stared down at it in shock, it was a large piece of bread-like stuff. I stared at it uncomprehending just what was happening.
"Eat." I myself tensed at that. I had never been so close to him and I had only ever heard him speak once before and I could barely remember it. His voice was soft and silky smooth almost like a whisper, it was like a beautiful song, and this made me briefly think of how good a singer he is.
I picked up the bread and split it in half biting my lip I put the slightly bigger half in his half open palm. He gave me a weird look, and I chuckled slightly.
"You're hungry too. You've been here just as long as me, so don't deny it."
"I can go weeks without food."
"Doesn't mean you should."
I ate the unfamiliar substance hesitantly, slightly waiting for him to begin, because eating in the presence of a stranger made me feel uncomfortable.
"So, how are you?" I asked lightly, there was a long silent before a noncommittal 'Hn' sound left his lips, with one delicate eyebrow raised I looked at him with a slight frown.
"'Hn'? What kinda response is that? When I say 'How are you?' You say 'Oh, Caitlynn I'm good, How're you?' Or something like that."
He released a strange sound one I have never heard before, a smile graced my lips and I laughed happily.
"Did you just laugh? Haha I think you did! This goes down in the books folks, I Caitlynn Sanders made Itachi Uchiha laugh!" I giggled my bad mood completely disappearing.
Congratulations Tachi-kun I'm not scared of you anymore!
