Radioactive.
The clock ticked on.
Its loud echoing made my fingers twitch, along with the sound of rain pitter-pattering against the roof. My senses had heightened, making my head hurt so badly i gripped it in pain. Footsteps echoed next to me and I lifted my head to the sound.
"Kisame?" He grunted and i heard another pair of footsteps approaching behind him. "So you found him?"
"Your bandages are red." He stated and i snorted, my fingers flitting over the things that blinded me.
"Answer my question?" Kisame sighed and shifted Samehada on his back
"He found us actually," Kisame grunted. "Apparently, he's been looking for us since he found out what happened to the Leaf." Smirking i gritted my teeth.
"Sasuke, its been a long time."
"Ah." He came closer, only a couple of feet away, and i felt Kisame take a step near me.
"Its okay Kisame." He backed away and i ran my hand gently over his arm.
"Tell me." He gritted out. "What happened?" I tilted my head, smiling wide.
"What do you want to know?" I asked. His face twisted into a grimace and i stilled, 'looking' up at him.
"Don't toy with me." He hissed and my smile widened.
"Why not?" I chimed. "You toyed with us for so many years, why should i give you information on what happened to me and my lover to easily." His hand wrapped around my throat and i heard Kisame grab Samehada, but i held up my hand and erupted into a giggling fit.
"He was my brother." His fingers tightened, but i flared my chakra, and he jolted back with his hand sizzling.
"Don't touch me!" I snapped, before taking his hand in mine, a green-glow covering it. "You're so naive Sasuke, how does it feel to be the one who doesn't know what even happened to the person he cared about?" I tilted my head, being careful about the bandages, and sighed. Letting his hand drop, i heard him shift.
"You've changed." He stated and i erupted into laughter, my hand covering my mouth.
"Its been.. what? Three or four years since i've seen you, and that's all you have to say?" I flexed my fingers forward and chakra scalpels formed at the tips of my fingers. He stayed silent and stood rigid in front of me.
"Sakura, tell me." His voice seemed strained and my smile disappeared.
"There were so many days, so many nights. Training, loving, laughing, all wrapped up into one." A brittle laughing rumbled out of my throat and i swore i felt him flinched. "I'll tell you i guess, what happened three years after you left." Crossing my legs, i shifted my kimono and leaned back into the chair.
"Danzo over-threw Tsunade and locked her up. Even though his take over was slow, it was noticeable the academy was dived into two parts one side for boys the other for girls. The boys learned everything and more to become the perfect Shinobi, ANBU like even, while the girls learned simple things, healing and becoming a housewife." I snorted. "It was all such bullshit, Anko threw a fit but then she disappeared... The rest of the Kuniochi like me were reduced to common whores!" I spat, the arm rest crushing under my hand. "Seduction missions, escort missions, nothing more than missions like that. Hinata and Neji were to be wed, TenTen was stripped of her Kuniochi status and married off to some noble, Ino was stripped of her status as well but luckily was safe working for her family." I ran a hand through my hair, frowning. "On one of my few missions, i met your brother, at first i thought i was going crazy but somehow he assured me he was real."
"I bet he did." Kisame stated grinning and i ignored him.
"When i got back to the village Naruto and i decided to escape before they locked him up for good and surprisingly the rest of the Rookie 11 agreed that we should get out while we could. So on one of Naruto's missions, i escaped with him and we ran from Konoha, but somehow they caught onto our plan and we didn't leave as safely as we wanted to." I ran my fingers over my scarred right arm and i felt his eyes on it as well. "We settled though, in a tiny village outside of Yukigakure, and Itachi found us once more." I paused, my eyes brows creasing together. "I healed his eyes and, as cliche as it sounds, we sorta fell for each other. Living together was hard at first but we managed. Months passed and somehow i fooled myself into thinking everything would be alright. Things between me and Itachi were good and Naruto even found himself a girlfriend." I giggled. "A couple of weeks after Kisame found us... Kakashi did as well and that's when everything fell..." Gripping my head i let out a cry and Kisame rested his hand on my shoulder. "And he asked me the one thing i never imagined he would..."
The memory was still so vivid. Naruto ran at the ANBU sacrificing himself to let us escape, i'd screamed but he gave Itachi a look and he dragged me away...
"NARUTO!" My lungs burned as Itachi threw me over his shoulder and ran alongside Kisame. A flash of orange chakra erupted from where he was and a roar reached my ears. "Itachi, let me go! We can't leave him." I pounded my fists on his back but he said nothing, and as suddenly as the chakra erupted, it flickered out and my blood ran cold. His chakra was completely gone.
ANBU swarmed us and Itachi passed me to Kisame, his eyes activating and i broke free of Kisame's grip. We all faught, side-by-side, against the enemy, against the people i used to know. I broke their bones, while Kisame and Itachi killed them.
"Sakura!" I turned, and screamed, Itachi was in front of me, a blade appearing out of his lower back. He fell onto me and i looked up at the ANBU who killed him, ready to die, my chakra was so depleted there was no hope of me saving them. Out of no where Kisame's hand wrapped around the ANBU's wind-pipe and crushed his throat effortlessly. "Sakura.?" I looked down at Itachi, tears spilling over my cheeks. "Take them..." My green orbs widened. "Take my eyes, and take your revenge."
"Sakura." I looked toward Sasuke, who'd said my name loud and clear. "What did he tell you to do?" I smiled up at him, before pulling my hair into a tight knot and standing shakily.
"He told me to take his eyes." Ripping the bandages away and i could see the horror spread across his face as bright as day. I felt the Sharingan activate and the tomoe's swirl, it sharpened everything and i sighed at the feeling. "He told me to get my revenge." I reached out to him, taking his hand in mine, smiling wider as i felt him relax. "Konoha will pay."
