Chapter 4: Into The Darkness I Fall, Out of the Light You Come

Sakura

I stared intently at the blonde's back, my body refusing to bulge any further. The young man stared at the full moon that penetrated the night sky. Its bright rays enshroud the young man, bringing forth his features. I was transfixed by the blonde's handsome features. The hospital cloths, slipped off by his awakening, reveal a well toned, six pack body. I knew it wasn't right to stare but as a young woman let alone a teenager, I could not help but stare. It was as if my brain was trying to stitch this moment into my memory, forever remember. It felt like an eternity as I took in every detail down to the last one. I must have been in heaven because I almost didn't catch him asking where he was at.

"Uh, sorry, my bad. You're in the hospital. You were pretty banged up. The doctors say you're going to be fine but we need to find your parents to inform them of what has happened."

I don't know what did it or if I said something hurtful, but he immediately hung his head down. I was about to ask him what's wrong when the tears came rolling down. Small sobs escaped his rough lips. Tears stream down over his whiskered cheeks. I stood there unable to do anything to comfort him. It took me several seconds before I compose myself and wrap my little arms around his big frame. He looks at me for a second before sobbing into my chest. We stay in that position for an hour before I heard soft snores emanating from him. During the time I lay him down on the bed and the walk to the door, I heard the whisper of a name.

Dad.

Unknown POV

I watch as the blurs of many cars drove by. I stared at the many vehicles, ignoring the annoying voice of my self proclaim girlfriend. The cars outside provided a great distraction from the redhead I met months ago. Today she was extra chatty. It must be because she is moving to a foreign country. A country I long since forgotten. I look upon the scenery as I let my mind wander to the past. Many faces kept popping up, one more than others. The girl with the bright pink hair whose name I have forgotten has been popping up in my head for the past two weeks. Although my memory of my hometown isn't as clear as it used to be, I can still remember her as one of my many fangirls. I wonder how she is doing. Maybe she- my train of thoughts halted due to my driver hitting a pothole. I look forward towards the large city that lay before us. A sign a few meters ahead told me where we were at.

It would seem that the last of the Uchiha has finally return back to where it all began.

Konoha.

Naruto's POV

Darkness. That is what has enveloped my sore body. The darkness consumes me into an everlasting black shroud. My body floated amongst the dark shrouds. My body soon launches forward, setting face forward towards a blinding light ahead of me. I remember the first time this happened. I could remember his voice clear as day as he told me to stay away from the light. That time, I did not want to leave him alone. But now I have nothing to live for. I felt myself being envelop in the white light, the warmth returning to my cold body. As soon as the light reaches my forearm, I felt myself being pull. I fell into the everlasting darkness. Screams erupted from my mouth. I stare wide eye at the diminishing light. I tried to reach for it but to no avail. The light stops diminishing and takes the shape of a woman. A woman I thought I would never meet in my life. A few simple words left her mouth:

Live for the both of us.

I could not stop the tears cascading down my whiskered cheeks.

For you, for Dad, I will live.

Mom.

Sakura's POV

School. It was the place parents send their kids to be babysat. I mean taught. But as you get older, you truly see what it is: Hell. I hate school with a passion. Yet I must attend to keep up the preppy girl façade. My parents really want the best out of me. I hate the fact that they always use the "I want you to be better than me" line. I know that there are people out there that love school but to each their own. The only thing I dislike more than school though is Monday. Ugh, for some reason, you are always tired the most on Mondays.

I look over at my clock to see if it's time. The clock says 6:50. Damn, it seems I would have to walk to school. I put on my makeup after a quick shower though I don't know why. I stop trying to impress boys years ago when he left. Although I have moved on, I still feel like a part of me left with him. I rush out of the room and out of my house only to be blinded by the intense sunlight. Damn Konoha and its out of whack weather. Placing a small hand over my eyes, my sight return with the usual black/purple spot you see when staring into the sun for a while. God, that is annoying. I resume my walk to school, occasionally stopping for traffic at crossroads. As I walk, my mind began to wander to last night's events.

The poor guy kept crying while mumbling dad. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what that meant. A knot form in my stomach as I walk. I felt queasy and somewhat disoriented. For some reason, I had that empty feeling. I knew what it right away what it was.

Pity.

Naruto's POV

The Darkness embodies evil. That is what humans think. I am a denizen of that Darkness but I shone bright in it. Today, however, I am the Darkness. I can't see, feel, taste, or hear anything. I am scared. Scared of this Darkness. Of myself. I could feel its evil roots taking place in my heart. All I want is blood. Whose blood. Theirs. I want to rip them limb from bloody limb. I want to decorate the room with their guts. I want to gauge their eyes out of their sockets and forcibly feed it to them. I want to shower in their blood. All I want is for them to die. To die a horrible painful death for what they had done to my father, my family. The Darkness was once my enemy. Now I welcome it with open arms. I am thy friend, it said.

I embrace the Darkness. I have nothing to live for now. But yet I must for my parents. Revenge. A feeling I thought I would never experience now fills my very soul. A darken path reveals itself before me. I land on the path gracefully. I kept walking until the end of the path. The Mass Darkness lies before me. Taking one more step, I fall. As I fall, a bright light appears. Thinking it was my mother, I kept falling. The light soon forms features. It takes the form of a young girl. A girl with light pink hair.

Into the Darkness I fall, out of the Light you come.

My Savior.

Next Chapter: Awakening

Ever since I lay eyes upon her, I could not wrestle her out of my mind. I thought of her, of cherry blossoms trees. Her beauty was indescribable. She was unconditionally beautiful.
