(Poem continued from the prolougue)
In the dark I'm the only one who can hear my screams
I know things aren't what they seem
I see what lurks in the night
I know to let go of those dreams I held on to so tight
I dare not go any further,
I'm too scared of what I might find
Welcome back, guys! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the great comments! I'm having a blast writing this. :)

Can you take it all away,
Can you take it all away?
Well you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it in my face...

Chapter 2: Hello
Sasuke's point of view:
It's weird, you know? Not being able to tell the difference between night and day. I mean, I have to ask Kakashi what time it is. If it's night or day, it's no difference to me. Everyday is just night to me. All I basicly do everyday is sleep, what else is there to do but to get lost in music, or when Kakashi, Naruto or Sakura come to visit me. How man lyrics are stuck in my head, ring in my ears over and over again, even when the music's not playing. I've became paranoid, frightened. Who wouldn't after all these nightmares of Itachi I have that haunt my dreams? But, in a way, the nightmares are worth it. Because, in my nightmares, at least can see again. Oh, if I could only see again! To see my loved ones, to see important events in my loved ones and my life...To see a women's body...
(A/N: The last thing I want is to think Sasuke`s a perv, LOL. What Sasuke meant by `to see a women`s body` is that a women`s body is so different from a boys, and now he can`t appreciate a women`s beauty or her figure. Like I said, not pervert, lol.)
Besides, who would want to date, marry or have a family with a man who is blind? Chances are very slim. My fate was sealed all because of Itachi. Just the thought of Itachi made my blood boil with hate and fear. Hearing his name makes my heart tremble with fear, though I dare not say that outloud.
Not only that, everyday I just sit in my room, all alone, not knowing what to do with myself. At least Kakashi's nice enough to download good music for me on my ipod. By feeling my nightstand table beside me (you learn where things are just by feeling after a while) I felt my ipod. The coldness of the ipod reached my fingertips, as I pushed play. A song called "Hello" by Evanescence began to play. I turned the volume as loud as I could to block out the ugly world around me.
Playground school bell rings...Again
Rain clouds come to play...Again
I could feel my emotions beginning to stir. I remember when I use to be in school, always spending recess alone. The other kids thought I might attack them, like my brother attacked our own clan. I can't believe people actually compare myself to him. After that day, every day rained for me, adding dramatic effect to what I felt. There were always clouds in front of me, blurrying my vison of what is really happening, and I didn't care.
Has no one told you she's not breathing...
Hello, I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to...Hello...
It's scary to know the truth. I had troubles accepting my parents weren't breathing anymore. All I had was my mind to talk to, no one else. Just me and me alone.
Out of nowhere, with me listening to the song, I suddenly felt someone grab both of my arms, aroud my bicepts. Whoever the person was I knew it wasn't Kakashi or a loved one. This one held my arms so tight that it was going to bruise my skin. I could feel his heavy breathing on me. I knew it was a man for this one was strong. I could feel it in his chakra, too. Somethign felt fimiliar with this chakra, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
If I'm smiling, don't...Believe
I screamed as loud as I could, hoping Kakashi could hear me. I was expecting he would come running as fast as he could, but he didn't. Kakashi, where are you when I need you? I'm sure you didn't leave the house...
I quickily kicked that attacker in the stomache.
Soon, I'll know I'll wake...From this dream
The attacker quickly got back up from my attack, and hit me as hard as he could in the jaw. He hit me so hard that my ear pieces of my ipod fell out of my ears. The volume on the ipod was so loud that I could still hear the song.
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken, Hello,...
The man quickly grabbed my arm, pulled me into his chest. I put his two hands on my throat, and began choking me. I coughed so loud, trying to breath for life, tears went down my eyes from the pain. He lifted me so my feet where off the ground. Oh, but I wasn't going without a fight. I swung my legs as hard as I could to the man, making him drop me. Then I turned around to throw another few punches. Wow, look at that, Tsunade's classes to help me fight even while blind really helped!
I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide,...
But, unfortunately for me, the man had no troubles blocking my attacks. It was almost as if he knew my moves before I even did them. Wait...Did this man know me? Something does seem fimiliar about him...
Then, the man finally spoke, "keep on struggling. It only gives me more saticisfaction."
I knew that voice...Itachi?!
Don't cry...
"What do you want?" I cried out to him, as I just barely dodged one of his punches.
"You." he said.
"Why?"
I punched back, but he blocked it easily with his arms. That's how he knew my moves! We trained all the time as little boys, he was old enough to remember my moves, but I was too young to remember his...
"That's no concern of yours," he said, "you're coming with me."
"Go to hell!" I yelled to him.
"You're coming with my, my brother," he said.
I kept on moving backwards to keep away from Itachi's attacks.
Suddenly, I know I'm not sleeping...
"You're blind, aren't you, Sasuke? That's why you're fighting so bad..." Itachi concluded. "Wow, I didn't expect my poison to work so well."
"Fuck you," I spat out.
I kept on moving backwards from Itachi's attacks.
Then I hit something while moving back...Shit. A wall. There was no place to run or hide. Itachi had the advantage.
Hello, I'm still here,...
Itachi laughed. "I see the fear in your blind eyes...It only encourages me to continue with your pain. He kept on getting closer.
"KAKASHI!" I screamed again, begging that he would hear me, but it was useless.
"No one can hear your screams, my little brother," he said, "I got you!"
He kicked me so hard in the stomach that I flew into the wall, I could hear and feel the wall breaking under me from hitting it so hard. My head hit the wall first. I could feel the blood drip from my head. Shit, head injury...
I could still hear Itachi getting closer. No...It can't end like this, not like this...Anything but him...
I closed my blind eyes in fear, scared what was coming. I couldn't fight anymore. I gave up. I was so tired and my head was thobbing from the head injury. I then felt a cloth on my mouth. Alcohol. I moaned, as I slowly fell asleep, hearing Itachi in his evil voice say, "good night, brother, see you when you wake up..."
Being drowsy, about to give in to the tiredness, I felt Itachi pick me up, put me on his shoulder, then I fainted and everything went black.
Then silence.
All that's left of yesterday...
TO BE CONTINUED...
