Disclaimer:((Look, I don't own Naruto. I just own Yami, her brother, and Sakurai and Kaine. Noone else. So no suing okay?))

Dancing Bears,

Painted Wings,

Things I almost remember,

And a song,

Someone sings,

Once upon a December.

I am captive, trapped in my memories of him. I remember a song, a song that Sakurai sang to me long ago. I think it was called "Michiyuki"((A/N: "Michiyuki" the ending of the Anime Loveless. I do not own, you do not sue.)) and he'd play it on piano. I can't really forget him. You know, I did something that night, that I never really forgot, never could forget. My life was void the night I lost Sakurai forever. I loved him. My name? My name is Uchiha Yami, perhaps the last sole possessor of the Mangekyou Sharingan, alive, at least. I have done an unforgiveable thing.

Someone holds me safe and warm,

Horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully,

Across my memory.

FLASHBACK

"Sakurai-kun!" A young man turned to look at the girl. His bright, fathomless emerald eyes shone with love, the gold flecks in them making them shine in the light. His long brown hair fell to his shoulders, "What is it, Ya-chan?" "Will you sing that song again, for me?" Sakurai Selenae nodded, and began,

Far away,

Long ago,

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart,

Used to know,

Once upon a December.

My brother, Yamato, saw me kill our parents when we were fifteen. Ever since, he has been quiet, and he never talks. He and I are close though. I wish...I only wish that I hadn't needed this so much, the Mangekyou. If I hadn't been blinded by the evil, sensuous suggestions of the Snake-man, maybe he, and they would still be alive. Every night, Yamato sings Sa-kun's lullaby to put me to sleep. I ask him if he thinks I could have resisted Orochimaru, but he says no. Though my outside appears strong, I am but weak on the inside. He has no clue how right he is...Yamato.

Someone holds me safe and warm,

Horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully,

Across my memory.

I remember, but only barely, the faces of my parents as I killed them. Brother and I had been working together as Toko Ame assassains, and I suppose that was when I was caught. I remember sitting in that dank cell, waiting for judgement, the things the guards did to me, and curling up at night singing Sa-kun's lullaby to myself, trying to erase the feelings, remembering him. Sakurai...I love you! /YAMI! SISTER/ Yamato keeps trying to bring me out of this dream I'm in, calling me. But being out in the open hurts, everyone reminds me of what I've done wrong.

Far away,

Long Ago,

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart,

Used to know,

Things it yearns to remember.

I just wish I could remember your face, Sakurai, mother, father. I don't really think any more. I can't feel. I reveal nothing to the head of the new Akatsuki, for she keeps a close eye on myself and my brother. Her boyfriend too watches us with eyes like a snakes. His name confused me when I first heard it, 'Faeyt' The boy said. His name, sounding just like fate. I wonder every night as I curl up with my new Biiju inside of me, what if I hadn't killed them? Would I still become this? Would Sakurai still be here? But it's then I realize that my memories are dangerous...and I can only remember the song that Sakurai sung...on the first snowfall.

And a song,

Someone sings,

Once upon a December

OWARI

Selenae is the last name of one of my characters, Kaine Selenae, aka Kaiga Takashirou. So Yami killed her last surviving relative...Her brother.
