Song - Forgiveness by Matthew West
Like most songs, I use the lyrics out of context. This song is about forgiveness and something spiritual but I am writing about secrets, not forgiveness. Also it's kinda about gay ninjas so...
It's short, there isn't much to say. Anyone who knows KisaIta knows what I am trying to get across.
HB
It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve
It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…
HB
"If you had used your sharingan - you could have taken that power!" Kisame argued. "You would be stronger."
"It is better such power never exist, he is dead and we can do nothing now."
Kisame was silent at first. "Is the eternal mangekyo not a similar power?"
Itachi said nothing.
"You are a dying man Itachi, what will you do with the eternal mangekyo?! What is your fixation? We could be happy if you gave up on it!"
"My goals are not your concern." Itachi said coldly, in a voice that clearly stated the topic was over.
Kisame knew better than to argue.
HB
It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'
HB
"Itachi I have stood by you at your worst, I have done nothing to hurt you, I have proved myself over and over... Will you not tell me what you truly desire? Let me help you. I told you before didn't I? I would go anywhere for you."
"I cannot." Itachi says, and Kisame knows better than to argue when Itachi is choking on his own blood, shaking against the bed, eyes glazing over.
HB
Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
HB
"You are my sheath." Kisame croaks, on his knees.
"You are my sword." Itachi says through haggard breaths, his fingers fumbling with the medicine bottles.
"You are my sage."
"You are my guardian."
Kisame shakes. Can he do it? The one thing a shinobi must never do? Can he break every wall he ever built for the one truth he is never allowed?
"You are my heart." Kisame says, and knows at that moment he is broken. He will be used and destroyed by Itachi and there is nothing he can do about it.
He never expects the soft, barely above a whisper, answer he receives.
"And you mine."
This is a gift Kisame will treasure for eternity, a secret more precious than any other. Any other secret does not matter, not anymore.
HB
It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it's power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you
HB
"We have nothing to gain by going to Konoha."
"It must be done."
No more needed to be said. Kisame did not ask why, because he knew the one secret that mattered.
The secret of the heart.
