The Same Eyes

Chapter 8

Till Death Do Us Part


She closed her eyes herself and waited for his answer. She knew that without his cooperation she would have a less percentage of success. He was the key; an untouchable thing that snake couldn't even harm. She had everything planned out; Only this dog was an obstacle.

"No." He stated flatly. She didn't open her eyes, but started her motion to walk away. "I'll only help on one condition..." her pace became slower, "you must stay with me afterward as my partner in crime." She looked back to confirm his expression to his words; for a second she thought she saw a tiny smirk.

A tiny chuckle came from the girl now a meter away; a possible laugh of pity, "only if following you around benefits me..." Her voice trailed off into the dark as she left for her room. "Like a lost puppy." She muttered to herself. Giving herself a laugh of utter sarcasm, and pitiful frustration. Unknown to her though, the dog was gazing at where she once stood, and then too walked off into the dark.


She started talking to herself; her plans as it were. "What am I suppose to do now?" She took off the white outerwear, and threw onto the bunk.

"He says that he'll help, but he has his terms..." She sat down on the floor; there was no chair, "...yet those terms only are done after his death..." she suddenly lifted her head up with a smirk on her face; "...I can still win." A high pitched giggle came from her lips as she sighed in relief...'I won't have to keep my part of the deal.'

A small smile popped out on her face as those long bangs hid half her face.

'It'll be over soon, I can just imagine that bastard's blood.'

Another light came into the room, other than the candle lit on her stone table. She turned around to find the dog himself standing there looking a little too serious.

His eyes narrowed down as his voice crept out, "Don't lie to me..." she though his eyes flashed a bright red for a moment 'I guess I'm tired...". "Will you keep your end of the deal?" He stared at her, watched for body language, signs, all those. Yet she knew his intentions. "I don't lie. As long as that man will die, that he will never return; then I will follow you...Dog."

"Will you follow me till death?" His voice was almost a whisper by now.

"I wonder about that myself." She looked at him and read his book. He was trying too hard and shown cracks on his exterior. He wanted someone to help him. He needed a companion.

'I win.' She thought.

"I'll be your companion." Those words flowed out of mouth; her eyes still studied his.

He broke the eye contact and walked off.

"When?" He asked.

"Soon, anticipate it." She watched absent mindlessly as the light disappeared[1], she went back to her plan.

Her hands began to shake. 'I'm too excited.' She took hold of her shaking hand with her other one. That visible eye that wasn't covered closed in order to relax for a second, but snapped as a small scratching sound was heard.

She wheeled her head to the sound. A snake. She knew how the bastard felt about her killing his tiny bastards. She didn't dare touch them, a incident happened once with them. She lifted the snake with her broad sword and threw it out into the hallway. She slammed the door behind her as she went back to her scheme.

It won't take long. He's weak...I'll give that bastard a week at most to get a new body. In his weakest we'll strike, her facial expression changed into that of a child who just got a present, I'll use that dog to his fullest.

A high pitched giggle flew through the hallow hallways.


[1] No, Sasuke did not glow. It was his candle. (=3=)
