Title: Clipped Wings Of An Angel

Chapter Three: Fragments of The Broken Past

A/N: I am extremely sorry that I have not updated in a long time. But I have not been inspired and I do not want to destroy the story with horrid chapters. Please review and give me feedback. I would really appreciate to know errors in my story. Italics means it is taken place during the past.

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst

-The First Cut Is The Deepest

Sheryl Crow

Hana laid on the spring green grass as it swayed with the wind. Wisps of her onyx black hair framed her face as her porcelain body laid out before the warm sun. The sun's rays kissed the angels body with utter delight, happy to kiss such a beauty. She was beautiful. Something unearthly. Gorgeous, beautiful, pretty. She was many words but none fit her perfectly. Her emerald eyes laid hidden behind her eyelids her long, coal black lashes framing them.

Hana's mind drifted away from reality to a place in the corner of her mind. A place that seems to grow with each passing year. A place where past memories would replay and present themselves before her. Memories that broke her heart to bits and pieces, at least what remained of it. Her hearts favorite ways of torturing her was of reminding her of what she use to be. It reminded her of the boy that she wanted to forget so badly. The boy that tinted the meaning of love to Hana even more.The boy that destroyed what was left of her delicate heart and all that was left of her was a body. A heavenly body with an angel's face too match. But the fallen angel had no heart. All she had was specks of her heart that was torn and ripped apart repeatedly. All in the name of love.

"Ohiyo Hana-San." a voice drifted to Hana's ears as she opened her emerald eyes allowing the world to peer at the delicate emeralds. Such beauty but so little heart. She turned her face towards the intruder her onyx locks fell in wisps around her face as the wind blew around the two time freezing.

"Ohiyo Sasuke-Kun..." Hana whispered as the melodic voice carried over to the young Genin. Sasuke's onyx eyes widened with delight as he listened to the angel's voice say his name. Sasuke. The name rolled off her tongue like an intricate song only known by angels.

"What brings you here little Uchiha?" Hana questioned as her voice spat the Uchiha name out. Sasuke flinched at her words. Her cool words were laced with venom, a fire drawing the moth in.

"Nothing Hana-San. I just saw you here by yourself and decided to keep you company." Sasuke replied as he glanced at the teenage girl before him. He knew who she was thinking about. She was thinking about him. Someone that haunted both of their living souls.

Silence filled the air as they both laid on the grass. They watched as the sun set in the sky marking the ending of day and the beginning of night. The trees swayed softly with the wind as the emerald green leaves fell from them drifting gracefully towards the ground. Both laid on the cool, soft grass content of the company and silence. She closed her eyes slowly as unwanted memories swallowed her up.

The young teens laid on the grass their hands intertwined and resting between them. Her onyx locks contrasted into one with his coal black ones. They were content together, away from humanity and in the heart of the wild. A place where they could pretend that everything was right in the world. Hana turned her head towards Itachi's as a smile formed on her pale pink lips.

"What's making you so happy?" Itachi asked as his onyx eyes flickered towards the angel laying next to him. His hand unconsciously tightened around hers, locking the delicate hand away from the world.

"You are." she replied blissfully as her eyes sparkled with love and admiration for the young ninja. Itachi smiled softly at the girl before placing their intertwined hands onto his stomach. The fireflies hovered around them as the stars winked down at them promising them a future worthy of the two. The trees swayed in the cool wind as the small pond glowed into life...

"Why do you do it to yourself?" Sasuke asked as his voice broke into her thoughts. She turned to him her emerald eyes flaming. Everyone knew it was a touchy subject. A subject that no one dared to talk about in her face. Her eyes turned into slits as her lips transformed into a pale, thin, pink line.

"Why do I do what?!?" Hana demanded challenging him to say it. His onyx eyes hardened as his body tensed.

"You know what I mean!"

"Oh Sasuke-Kun I have no clue about what you are speaking of." she spat out as her eyes glinted maliciously. Why did he have to ruin a moment of peace? Moments that were slipping slowly away from Hana. Hana cursed the strings of fate for leading her into this life. A life where everything was broken and nothing could return to their original setting.

"Fine Hana! If you want to have it this way! WHY WON'T YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT ITACHI?!? WHY CAN'T YOU MOVE ON?!? Why do you have to hurt yourself even more...?" Sasuke whispered as his eyes fell to a leaf he was twirling between his fingers. Hana's eye glazed over the mention of his name. It felt like she was stabbed in the heart repeatedly as her emerald orbs glazed over with pain. Sasuke regretted his words as he watched her rigid movements through the hood of his eyelids.

"I am sorry Hana-San. I must leave now." Sasuke said as he left Hana behind to her own workings. He regretted it and he knew he caused her even more damage. He did not mean for it to come out. Itachi. Curse him for hurting her so badly. For hurting Konoha and most of all for hurting their brotherly bond. Ever since the incident Hana has never been the same. She was a walking corpse. Nothing could hurt her. Her only one true weakness was Itachi.

Hana moaned in pain as the name repeated itself in her head. Uchiha Itachi. The red eyes appeared before her as they danced around in her mind allowing tears to slip out of her eyes. A dark shadow crossed her face as she looked out over Konoha from the cliff she always laid at. The cliff where he saved her.

Hana stood at the cliff as she stared out over the village her emerald eyes shining with tears. The moon shined down at her as it cast a warm glow onto her. Her voice broke the silence as it rang out into the dark. Her cry drifted into the darkness as it swallowed it up. Her hands wiped furiously at her tears as sobs racked her body.

"Are you alright Hana-Chan...?" Itachi asked as he jumped off of a tree his with his ANBU uniform on. Hana turned to him as tears slid down her cheeks. Her emerald orbs locked with his red ones as she shook her head her hair flying around her. Itachi walked up slowly towards her as he embraced her tightly. His nose sniffed her vanilla scented hair as her arms wove around his neck pulling him in closer to her body.

"Oh...Itachi you don't understand how I regret what I have said to him! To know my last words to him were ones of spite. Oh Ita-Kun if only you knew. If only." Hana sobbed out as her hands grabbed fistfuls of Itachi's hair. She buried her face into the crook of his neck as warm tears seeped out of her eyelids cascading down towards Itachi.

"Sh...Hana-Chan everything will be all right. Sh..." Itachi mumbled into her hair as he stroked her warm cheek lovingly. His cool gaze softened as he watched her body shake with sobs. He pushed her away from him as he grabbed her face and kissed her roughly on the lips.

"I love you Hana-Chan..." Itachi mumbled as he pulled away from the kiss. Hana's tears dripped off her face as she stared at Itachi in shock.

Hana stared blankly at the stars as thoughts of how they use to ly together on the grass watching the stars filled her thoughts.

"You said as long as there were stars there would be an us. What happened..?" Hana asked the stars as her eyes shrank with anger her face marred with a sneer.

"It was a lie just like everything else..."
