Hinode: Next chapter! Wahooo! This one is dedicated to Neji again. A little more depressing. I've been listening to My Chemical Romance and Evanescence non-stop. Even as I am typing this, I am listening to Drowning Lessons. Today I brought in a special guest to do the disclaimer. Yo! Cloud!

Cloud: And I'm gonna get high, high, high, when I'm low, low, low. The fire burns from better days. And she-

Hinode: Cloud! Stop stealing my Green Day Cds. Do the disclaimer!

Cloud:Hn. HinodeoftheCovenant does not own Naruto. There. Can I go back to my emo corner and be emo.

Hinode: Yeah. Whatever. Oooh! Look! Vincent!

Cloud: Huh! Where, where?

Hinode: Crud. Uh…. On with the ficcy! (Note: The song Cloud was singing was "Misery" by Green Day.)

Clipped Wings

I envy the birds,

how they soar through the sky.

Free.

Never to know the pain of confinement.

I long to fly with them.

Free, untouched by suffering.

But, my wings are clipped,

I am bound to eternity in my earthly prison.

My life in someone else's hands.

So, I may only gaze upon the birds.

Them and their freedom,

As, my heart, my hope,

Slowly fade away.
