Author's Note: I don't think I did TOO badly with updating…thanks for all the reviews from last chapter!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I hope some of you are no longer confused…moonlitStarDestiny…your review made me bawl like a baby.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Simple as that. Nor do I own Switchfoot's The Shadow Proves The Sunshine.
EDIT: Wow. This was surprisingly alright! Just changed a few words here and there...PLEASE R&R!

The only savior…the only savior that is within my fragile vision is slightly blurring within this glass container that I have been forced to call my home. They are blurring at alarming speeds…away from the light…away from humanity…
But there is no other savior for us all.

Sasuke's POVAs soon as I had walked around the corner, all my resolve seemed to liquefy into nothingness. My body crumpled into a pitiful heap and my shoulders kept up with the beat of my leaking eyes. With a half-hearted blow to the wall, my fists seemed to slide off like they were being repelled.
My eyes can't see farther than a foot away because they are so blurred, but I don't care.
I don't care.
"I DON'T CARE!!!" My voice ricocheted off the walls of the vacant hallway. It's almost funny too…because…just when I got my life to become unchanging and repetitive, just how I wanted it, somehow my footing was lost and I tripped, sending me into an impending nothingness of a life.
Takuto…I didn't even KNOW him very well, so why am I so heartbroken? Is it because I haven't suffered since…that thing happened…and a new and unknown danger is lurking somewhere…waiting for me to stumble into it?
It's just so…it's just so…
Hard.
Hard to go on…to be able to function like a normal human being. At this point in my life…a new chapter is being written and I am blind to the author's intentions for what will become of me.
What am I to do?…
What am I to do?.!
Who can provide me with an answer?

Sunshine, won't you be my motherSunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath
We are
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, well
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight
When the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Sasuke's POV"Sasuke…"
I was awoken by the sound of a voice I knew so well, a voice I had almost entirely forgotten. I hadn't fully registered the sound of this familiar voice before I had the urge to run.
RUN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!!!My mind screamed with the bellowing intentions of death and devils and decaying souls, my brain reeling with unspeakable panic. I tried to leave…tried to move…tried to get away…
Before I could go even two steps however, a strong arm attached to a strong body pulled me back. Turning and facing this person with an icy, yet defiant stare, I met the icier black eyes of my older brother.
"Nice to see you again, little brother." Hissed the monster standing in front of me, unrelenting in its hold on my shirt. "And it's OH so nice to meet up with you again too, of course. I missed you so much it hurt." With a slam of flesh against flesh, I pushed the monster's hand away from my body.
"So…why are you here? I thought maybe you had died in the earthquake…you don't know how relieved I am to see you're alright." Venom dripped from my words, coating the air between us in a sticky black.
"I'm so GLAD to see that you were worried about me, but it is quite alright sweetie, our mansions were untouched by the earthquake. We knew that you were away for work purposes, and Takuto was fetching something for us." I could feel my muscles aching for his next words…a kind of wanting but more of a dreadful anxiety more than anything.
"By the way…where is our dear Takuto?"
"He…died."
The ache in my words were unfamiliar to even myself. His eyes widened into something of acknowledgement before he pulled his mask back over his face. That invisible, all seeing mask of his that drives many to pure insanity…
"That's quite alright then. Obviously it wasn't anything that you could stop from happening…right?" The monster started picking at its claws in a bored way, before meeting my gaze and seeing the figments of emotion swimming in my eyes.
"OR COULD YOU?.!" The monster roared with all it's fury, sending me crashing into a nearby wall. But what a perfect way to end my trip to a surreal and poverty filled world…to be beaten and come to realize the fact…
That I didn't and never will belong here.
----
Oh Lord why did you forsake me?Oh Lord don't be far away, away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord don't look the other way
I'm a crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Shine on me
Let my shadows prove the sunshine----
Sasuke's POVWithout even realizing it, I had been away from my torture for so long. I had completely forgotten about my other way of life, and tried to adapt to what was in front of me. I was actually kind for once…had compassion.
Lived, breathed, like a normal human being. Now, that time is over…because my captors have come to retrieve me yet again.
I knew I couldn't be away from them for too long.
----
I was being dragged roughly through the hallways of a hospital. A hospital with a new spark of hope imbedded somewhere in a hidden place. Only someone that wants to see it can truly view it. I have seen this spark.
After seeing it, one cannot help but be filled with hope. Such a simple four letter word that brings on so much emotion and swelling of hearts. I never thought that I would be faced with such a trivial emotion…but I guess I was wrong at that point in my life.
After meeting a certain angel…I have the freedom to hope again.
Being dragged through the hallways isn't as bad with hope. And with the image of clear blue skies being unlocked from one of my memories, it isn't so bad to want to be free in other ways, too.
To hope…
----
As I finally faced the outside world for the first time in a long time, my heart caught still and all I could do was stare and longingly remember the past.
Barren, nothing, lost breaths, lost souls.
I trudged forward. I don't even think the monster missed the tear I shed for the forgotten.
----
Only ten steps outside…and I miss the angel…
I miss him so much it makes my heart throb irregularly, halting all aspirations to move another step, and another step, and another…
I know, however hard it may be, I must move forward.
The more time that passes, the closer I get to be able to see his face again. And that is something to wish for, isn't it?
Even with all the hate I know he possesses for me, it won't make me stray away. It will be a challenge, but I am fully prepared to take it on. No matter the cost…I will make sure he is at least okay…
Because I at least want someone I care for to be okay even when I know I can't be.
----
At least the angel won't hate me more because he doesn't know that it was ME that saved him. I'm sure if he knew that I left him after that then he would hate me for all eternity.
With a stiff greeting to my parents as I got in a limo, I knew I had started down a path I would eventually regret.
'This path that I must lead…'----

The savior of the light-faced with two different roads. When will he have to make his decision? And what will it be? Please don't side with what you know for certain…sometimes it is crucial to take a chance and risk it all.
Risk it all for the ones you love.
