Naruto's POV

That laugh…that laugh still permeates my airways, still lives as if spellbound in this hallway. My whole body is quaking with fear. What I fear the most is the reason why I am so afraid. It seems to me as if nothing is amiss… It must have been my imagination, or my ears playing tricks on me…maybe I was delirious at the time. 'It is impossible that I heard such a loud laugh when there was no one there!'

'Where the hell did that laugh come from?'

I can feel that something is forming within my mind. It's as if I am connected somehow to that laugh; or rather, to the person who laughed. Somehow, they are trying to tell me something. They are trying so hard, but I have to block it. I can feel an intense white light protecting me…but where is this light coming from? I didn't think that I could possibly possess light. 'Then how is this barrier I am creating even possible?'

I tried to calm down all the systems in my body, and harden my heart until I can only hear dull thumps of life bang throughout my head. I shut down the systems that help me stay awake, and forced my body into sleep. I must do something to get my mind off of that laugh…it felt so real that I could almost reach out and grab it right out of the thick blankets of time.

Sasuke's POV

I feel extremely worse than I did before I went to sleep.

The second I moved from my sleeping position, I a strangled yelp escaped through my vocal chords. Squeezing my sleepy eyes closed, my teeth clenched firmly together to try and dull the pain. Somehow I was still tired although I had probably been sleeping for a very long time.

I stretched out as far as my sinewy yet sore muscles would let me before I knew I would burst out in agony. My pain led me to contemplate how others had dealt with the sickness I am suffering through.

I sighed with restlessness, before a treasured thought struck me. I had no idea to tell what time it was. When I reached an ivory hand up to my face, pulling a lock of hair back into place, I almost hit myself in the head.

I had almost forgotten about the watch held firmly around my wrist. Using the small window implanted in the hospital wall to read my watch by moonlight, I read it as 1:43 A.M.

I sighed, annoyed with my position at the moment. A deep restlessness washed over me. My muscles had an urge to move, to do something, but in my current state, that was impossible. I took a deep breath before trying to slide out of the chair that my poor body was stuck in.

When I finally was lifted to my feet, I did not feel any pain coming from my body. I felt nothing. It was as if I was completely anesthetized. My brain did register the twinge of hurt as I stood…but I was sincerely without sensation. As my eyes rested upon Takuto's empty hospital bed, all thoughts were lost, except…

'He didn't leave me alone…did he?.!'

Naruto's POV

I fully awoke after an agitated sleep. From the moment I woke up, my body felt absolutely icy. I pulled my blanket over me to ward off the unnerving sensation I was being sent.

My head reeled with apprehension; the room was suddenly in a blur. One message was sent through the electric signals in my brain: a smell. There was a distinct smell in the room…the smell of blood. Relaxing somewhat, I still took extra trepidation. I was almost positive the blood must be coming from my leg, but the thunderous thrashing of my heart in its cage was pounding with something akin to unfamiliarity.

'Sssssslash!!!' Something ripped beside of me. A cold chill was sent through my left leg, even with the bandages that dressed it. I was consumed with the seeping, seeping cold that lashed out and urged my adrenaline to pump out, sending me a jolt of energy to ward off the unknown.

I didn't want to…I really didn't want to look down to see what had caused the slashing noise. I forcefully stared straight ahead and willed myself not to look anywhere else. I gulped; a large lump traveling down my throat, and all of my urges to look disappeared with it. My brain quickly forgot about my concentration when it spotted red out of the corner of its vision.

I regretfully looked down. There was a deep slash running through the blanket above my left leg, right above the bandages covering my wound. The blood was manifesting on the blankets. Surprisingly, when I looked down at my revealed wound, I realized no blood permeated the pure snow white of the bandages. 'Then…where the hell did the blood come from?'

Sasuke's POV

I pushed all the air out of my lungs and collapsed on the floor. That was all I felt I could do at that moment. Somewhere…my heart was whispering a sweet lullaby to me. Within my being, wisdom was spilled and spread like a wave of control.

I knew I must try with all my might to go find Takuto. Something inside of me has a craving to find him. Something inside of me knows that something horrific is going to happen very soon.

Once I had resisted the urge to throw up on the bleached tile, my dexterous legs carried me far away from the room that my brother had lied dormant in for so very long…

-----

My livid onyx eyes held unease as they searched intently for my brother. Sneakers screeched in refusal against the glossy tile as my steadfast eyes were programmed only for the thought of recognizing one face and one face only: Takuto's.

Brawny feet didn't seem to like the floor much because they traveled so fast over it. The feet tried to not fall onto the slippery floor that they despised. They had a mission; a mission fueled by want, need, and a ripping sensation deep within their master's innards.

The only sound that propelled me forward was the shrill sound of rubber meeting the laminated surface of sterilized hospital floors. My ears were met with an offbeat sound however…when I felt my body being propelled towards the floor and the light of my journey was extinguished.

My body heaved forward as all the breath seemed to be unceremoniously removed from my lungs. I knew I had overworked myself, and now I was paying for it with a burning sensation surging through my body. ' I must find Takuto…'

Still wary, I became perpendicular to the floor once again and started off on a leisurely pace. My determination was in no way becoming lethargic. Journeying on, I realized that in my rushed state of mind, I hadn't even looked for the cause of my fall.

That's when I saw the trail.

Liquid, liquid, seeping, wet, burning, liquid, liquid, that I hate almost as much as life itself.

I loathe the smell.

----

This liquid has a certain color. A color that gushes: death. We all try to ignore the subliminal broadcasting of this color…but to no avail. There is just some kind of connection to this color in a liquid that makes us want to scream: danger! danger!

This color…if you already have not made this same connection…is red.

And this liquid…is blood.

----

Naruto's POV

There is blood oozing from somewhere in this hallway. I have come in contact with my wound enough times already to be able to decipher between blood and any other smell.

Drip.

Out of nowhere, a cool liquid came in contact with my face. My eyes instantly snapped shut in reflex.

'Something is dripping on my face!'

I found my mind and body could no longer work in an adept manner. Hyperventilating, my whole body became taut with expectance of what was to come. My fingers were about to become dysfunctional because of the pressure of my balled-up fists.

Drip.

Oh God.

I felt the liquid make a downward venture through the dips in my face. My fingers tingled with the sensation to wipe it away…but I didn't.

I am too aghast to do anything. Because when the liquid got close to my nose…I recognized it immediately.

'How can blood be coming from the ceiling?'

That thought sent even more quakes through my tightly drawn muscles. Trying to release breath my lungs, I attempted to get away from the corroding curiosity that was irritating my already panicking mind.

I decided that when I was done counting slowly to ten, I would open my eyes and face whatever was in front of me.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10…

And my eyes flung open.

Sasuke's POV

Staring blindly right in front of me, I was faced with a path of blood. Some might call this path a warrior's path; a path and fate that a soldier has faced. A path of honor for some. For some…this is a path of the wicked.

I shivered, hearing my foot make the first move to walk ahead. I gasped in reproach, deciding that…I might just walk along this path.

----

After traveling for some time along this sacred path, I was faced with the end of the path of blood. My breath caught in my throat; I couldn't move. Immobilized within the barriers of time and space, I exhaled and turned before I opened my closed eyes…

They opened without hesitation. They were indefinitely ready to face whatever was there.

0000000000oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0000000000

What will they see when they open their fervent eyes? Only I know the answer to this question. But I definitely know this angel. They will both be haunted by the same memories.
