Chapter 2- Pieces of a Puzzle
If anyone saw him, they immediately knew there was something different about him. Whether it be his eyes, short yet strong body, or his cold features, there was definitely something that made him different from everybody else.
Oh yes, there was something unusual about him. Smiling grimly, he gazed down on the occupants of his village from his perch in the tree. He watched them mind their own business, go around exchanging greetings. Often, he saw small children being carried around or hand in hand with their parents. When he saw these everyday sights, he felt a small tugging in his chest. Could it be jealousy?
Ha! That was a laugh. Him, feel jealous? Why, he had brains, talent, skill, and the ability to do whatever he saw fit. But he couldn't miss that gnawing pain in his chest. He saw a little girl trip and fall. She began to cry as she held her scraped knee. Her mother came out of the house and immediately went over to her child. Tenderly, she "kissed it all better."
The words came unbidden to his mind. He tried to push them away but they refused to leave.
Pieces
Scattered
In all directions
I reach for them
But they float away
I ignore them
But I can't ignore the pain
Pain that comes from separation
Pain that comes from loss
Pain that come from knowing you're not wanted
This pain is eating at me because
Someone took a hammer and stake
Drove it deep into my heart
Took the remaining pieces
And scattered them
In all directions
Pain, many scoff
What would I know of pain?
With this shield protecting me
What sort of pain could be inflicted on me?
How could they be so dense?
There are two kinds of pain
The one I experience from day to day
Hurts the most
I wish I could stop it
You all can stop the pain you experience
But what of the pain in my heart?
Many say I have no heart
What do they call me?
A monster
A demon
Demons have no heart
Monsters have no soul
I have both
It is just that
The pieces are missing
The pieces of the puzzle
The puzzle of my heart
Because
Someone took a hammer and stake
Drove it deep into my heart
They took the remaining pieces
And scattered them
In all directions
The pieces are missing
They are lost
The puzzle will never be complete
The puzzle will never be the same
The puzzle will never be whole
The puzzle of my heart.
He clenched his fists. They all called him a monster, a demon. They accused him of having no soul, no heart. They all said he could not feel any pain. The fools. The ignorant fools. They were the ones with no heart. Could they not see who he was? He did not choose for it to be this way.
"ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!" he screamed to the sky. Only silence answered him. Looking down once again, he saw the street now deserted. The people had immediately retreated to their homes once they noticed him. His jaw was set, his eyes turning icy cold. He took the kunai he stole from his sister that morning. He held the knife above his wrist and plunged it down.
It was stopped by sand.
Someone took a hammer and stake
Drove it deep into my heart
They took the remaining pieces
And scattered them
In all directions
The pieces are missing
They are lost
The puzzle will never be complete
The puzzle will never be the same
The puzzle will never be whole
The puzzle of my heart.

Ninja Chic: Thank u thank u thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!! no one's ever called me a good author before! squeals in delight. luv ya!!!! really boosted my self-esteem! I read both of yours. Really good, keep it up! I took your suggestion into mind. You should know who this one is about! I don't know, maybe next chappie will be about neji. Thanks for reviewing!!! ï
Pirron: You're so smart!! yes, the first chapter was about Sasuke. I tried to make it confusing, but you saw through it! You might think I made him a little OC, but its good you understood it! He's always so cold and distant. I always thought that he must keep his emotions somewhere. I'd like to think that in his mind, emotions are weaknesses. So, he keeps it all in and saves it for his brother. I think you know who this one is about. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you everyone who reviewed! Another chappie coming up soon!!
