Rain

Sasuke hated the rain. 130 words.

Disclaimer: Does it seem as if I own Naruto?


Sasuke hated the rain. That time, at the marking of an age, when Itachi had killed his clan… it rained when the townspeople were taking the bodies away. That moment, years ago… in the split second he thought he was going to lose everything again – it rained ice and blood and cold. That day, when time stilled and Sasuke's heart threatened to pummel through his ribs in pain – the day he, himself, had almost killed Naruto… it was raining like no other.

The only thing rain was good for was to drown the tears away. But Sasuke hated it anyway, because if there wasn't any rain, he wouldn't be tempted to stand in its torrent, facing the heavens, to let out tears that he didn't want to acknowledge were there.


3 moments: Itachi killing the family, when Naruto was about to get 'killed' by Haku (after all, Naruto IS Sasuke's 'closest friend'), and Sasuke and Naruto fighting at the Valley of the End. Signifies 3 'eras' in Sasuke's life – the turning point between his life as a child and as an avenger (leaning towards child); his life after the Uchiha massacre, but with his friends; and the turning point between the latter and becoming a 'traitor' for the fulfilment vengeance.
