I have not really been updating as much as I should with my fanfiction. It's a bit difficult with college related workload and just the overall stress attributed to freshmen stress. My personal conflicts have really influenced this chapter. Its rather angsty due to the POV of everyone's beloved character Sasuke.At this point I still have no real definitive ending point for this fanfiction. The characters shall act on their own accord and whisper their annunciations of where they want to be led. Anyways, please encourage me to continue working on this fanfiction!! Leave honest but respectful critiques!! I dedicate this chapter to the wonderful music of Blue October!!
Chapter 3
Cherry blossoms fell within the red waters of the hot springs. A lone figure stood within the torrent of the waters; his very face blank, void of any emotion. The blue gems of his eyes slowly lost their glint as a washed out grey began to take the place of his ocean blue irises. Black raven hair coursed down the naked torso of the boy.
A girl's face appeared within the reddened water of the spring. With pink hair and green eyes, the girl covered her mouth and a hoarse scream escaped her pursed lips. Small waves blurred the image returning the saddened face of Sasuke whose eyes bled with stagnant rivulets of blood. Clasped in his right hand lay a reddened kunai still dripping of residual blood; the very tool which allowed him to cut treks across his once unmarked porcelain flesh of his arms
Slowly the small Chidori mark appeared on his neck and pain flared in his esophagus. Sasuke voicelessly screamed, dropping the kunai into the shallow waters of the spring. Clasping his hands around his scrawny neck, his oxygen intake slowed making his surroundings blur.The passage of "action potential" neurons slowed. His very control center of his intricately designed vessel lost connection with the immaterial part of himself, his soul.
"Sasuke" Sakura clear voice rung through his subsiding consciousness. Tall bamboo stalks waved violently within his blurry disillusion. Red luscious blood rained down against the bare ground around him filling the small ditches with puddles of bubbling blood. The very spring he stood in soon began to flood over with murky red water. Hoarse screams escaped Sasuke's depreciating vocal chords.
"Sasuke… Are you ready to accept your true destiny..? Remember what Itachi did… Remember…" a horrific distorted voice screamed, obliterating the vision around him. His mind wavered as he slowly spun with the whirlwind of murky water spinning about him.
"You cannot do anything to me… I am completely immune to such triviality… your attempts of subterfuge are wholly futile…"Sasuke scoffed, diving head first into the buoyant waters of the spring. Sakura's lithe form appeared before him, attired in a cloak of thin white. The type of cloak angels usually are attired in. The "silent" Sakura grabbed Sasuke's arms and wrapped her thin arms around him to allow her warmth to emanate about his cold corpse.
Sasuke's heart hammered against his chest as Sakura allowed her index finger to dance down his spinal cord. His nerves raced down the network along his back as he shivered under the tickling sensation of Sakura's touch.
"Sasuke… you're dying…" Sakura whispered into his ears and looked somnolently into the dying irises of his monotonous eyes.
"Sakura!! What? I'm not dying….What are you speaking of?"Sasuke screamed and shook Sakura violently. Sakura wrestled with him and slapped him hard on the cheek leaving a reddened mark along his already blemished cheeks. Tears loosened themselves from the prison of her eyes. Her hands freed themselves from Sasuke's arms and were soon placated onto her eyes. Loose tears found their way through the "open gates" of the space between her fingers. Slowly her body combusted with blood and flecks of her skin, and the torrents of water carried away the very dust which made her up.
In her place, a darkened form materialized and drifted through the water and wrapped their hands around Sasuke and drew their lips to the Chidori mark on his neck. Sasuke braced himself and let out a horrific scream as the figure bit into his neck. Pain raced through his nerves where the teeth of the creature impacted with his Chidori mark. Blood escaped now taking upon a more powdery appearance as it mixed with the reddened waters of the surrounding water; Sasuke's consciousness disappeared a as the black abyss drew itself over him, an opaque "cloak" not letting in any evanescent light. Whatever... lay before him, he hoped his sins did not keep him from traversing into this unknown continuum which awaited him.
