Love Me Dead

The Crying Killer Series

Chapter 7

"Love Me Dead"

I never had ran fast in my life. Holding the gun in my hand I grinded my teeth. The wood of the dock clunk and moved with each heavy step I took. My eyes only saw the tall hooded figure… The only prey they saw was the predator… I didn't let one word of reason pass through my mind; nothing could reach the metal state I belong to at the moment. I aimed the gun taking a stance only a sharp shooter could know… The figure had turned around. Quickly I shot and the figure ducked and 4 rounds of bullets landed in the water.

Slowly each second turned into an hour as he handed the smaller figure to another man on the boat. He stood on the side of the boat and took a leap back onto the dock. I stood face to face with the man of Sasuke's nightmares and didn't let my gun move an inch.

He ripped the hood off revealing his sadistic eyes and his aggravated frown. He actually looked like a killer… Everything about him said 'Bite me Bitch', his long mane gave the look of stealth. The points of his spikes like a hawks talons…

"You… What are you doing here…?" He asked his voice slicing the air between us with calm rage.

"I have come to give him a second chance at life…" I spoke daring to look him in the eye.

He spat in front of me venomously. "Run… You really think you can take him away from me… I'm going to kill you… And this time I am not going to miss your throat…"

I rested my finger on the trigger as he threatened me. He pulled out a gun of his own, a Beretta M9A1 9mm… I just stared till I shot first… I fell down to the ground with my gun and began to shoot. He returned fire as the boat was signaled to leave. I pulled back and shot the motor of the boat instead while missing a pocketknife that was thrown at me.

In a hail of gunfire I jumped back up to my feet and charged. Shooting round after round shooting about 15 rounds in a blink of an eye. Our guns could hold no more bullets and neither of us had extra rounds to shoot…

I let a barbaric side of myself be released as I whipped the empty gun at his head and ran reaching my hands for his throat. He moved the out of the projectiles path and grabbed my hands and smashed our heads together… I forced my hand out from his grip and aimed mercilessly into his stomach.

He bent over letting my hand go and punched up right into my chin. I tasted blood in my mouth as he forced my teeth up making me bite on my tongue. I felt a drop of blood smoothly make its way down my chin. He easily drew back his fist smashing his knuckles into my windpipe and pushed me to the ground.

That man took the little boy I loved away from me. He tortured Sasuke heartlessly and viciously… I realized that Sasuke wasn't the one who killed me on the court day… He had succeeded in killing himself… And Madara was the depression and hate the drove him into his metal state. Madara was the disease… I was the cure. He didn't want me to be with him after I figured out that he killed. He thought that I would be better off without him… That's why he lied about his feeling to me… He wanted to keep me safe. His life was too dangerous for me… At least that's what he thought… He was wrong… And I was going to prove it…

I looked up and spat blood into his eyes and roundhouse kicked him in the head and flipped my body use both feet in the air and kicked him in the stomach. I tripped back up and hit him in the face as hard as I could…

"Itachi! Stop!" I looked over to see a small figure screaming over to me as Hidan the Reaper pulled him into a blanket holding him so he couldn't move.

"Get him out of here!" Madara screamed over to the boat which started to go faster away from the dock with the broken engine.

Madara tackled me into the water holding my throat as I gasped for air. My heavy fabric wedding suit weighed me down almost drowning me. When Madara pushed me further underwater with his foot I started to strip. I ripped off the overcoat and my whole top letting it sink down to the bottom and I reached for the surface taking only a sip of oxygen before Madara dived down holding my waist. I kept my eyes open the salt water foggy and stinging my eyes provided cover for both of us. I could hardly see Madara and he could hardly see me…

I took a chance by diving down deeper knowing that I could see better down there but with my air supply my lungs felt like they were burning. The deeper I went the more pressure my ears were going through and the more air my lungs lost. In the end I had a clear shot at Madara and grabbed a piece of metal from a wrecked lobsterpot swimming with all I had and dragged the metal against his skin as I swam up. I felt the sweet luxury of O2 bless my body. I looked down at the blood tainted water and felt a grin form on my face.

My victory was short lived as Madara grabbed my ankle bringing him up for air. I saw a piece of metal in his hand. I stabbed just as he stabbed and the slivers of metal buried themselves into our forearms. Taking the chance I got revenge and took a big breath of air grabbing his throat pulling him underwater with me. I held the back of his cloak swimming as far down as possible and blew out my ears so the pressure of the ocean didn't send pains into my skull not giving Madara the chance to pop his ears. Diving as far down as possible I kicked him in the stomach as he blew out air in pain he held his nose and floated further down. I swam back up feeling the pressure that was being inflicted by the water release. I felt the air once again fill my lungs and I felt like giving a sigh of relief though I knew better. I floated around looking for any sign of Madara.

I looked at the boat which was farther out but was not moving due to the lack of wind for the sail and the broken motor. I did a breaststroke quickly over to the boat and dived under the water looking up at the blond haired Mr. Bang trying to fix the boat. I quickly jumped out of the water onto the boat and pulled Mr. Bang in back with me. Mr. Bang was not much of a swimmer. The puppeteer Sasori jumped in after him and I climbed up once again to look straight down the barrel of a gun.

"Get off my boat bitch!" Suigetsu aka Shark Boy practically hissed at me in anger. I knew I could not pull him into the water I would die. He was not like Madara who was as good as me at swimming but the water is his specialty. I took an opening and grabbed his wrist pulling it in an awkward position strongly breaking it quickly as he shot directing the bullets elsewhere. I pulled myself up more after grabbing the gun and shot him in the shoulder making him fall into the water as soon as I was securely on the boat away from the water so he would not have the chance to drag me in.

I threatened whosoever was trying to stop me from reaching the raven that was being held by Hidan with the gun…

"Let go of him Reaper and I won't kill everyone on this boat… This time around I don't care if it is legal or not. I will shoot you just enough so that you don't die but wish you were dead… Not give him to me…" I growled at Hidan.

Sasuke had looked over to me and I saw that his eyes had hardly any hope in them that was left. His frown almost blended in with his whole façade… Yes, you know how a brand new porcelain doll looks like when you first get it? Like glass it just meant nothing… It was too common to stand out, like it belonged there… But I remembered Sasuke's wonderful smiles… His gleaming eyes and cheeks that rose up to them. His laugh cheerful but not overdramatic… He had a childhood under his pain... But now he lost everything. If they catch him and if I am not with him… There will no longer be any hope for him… But right now, that hope is the only part I got left of him…

"Kakazu..." I felt a gun on my back and I looked over my shoulder to see Dr. Stitches. I looked back over to Sasuke who gave a look which I could have only described as the word 'kill'… Kakazu immediately put the gun down and bowed his head.

"Sasuke, I am taking you away from these people… I am going to be the big brother that I haven't been for 10 years… I need you to come with me…"

"I don't know how you found me, I even made it look like I was lying about leaving Konoha studying how I acted in the past just to find ways to trick and deceive you… I didn't know why I even studied to begin with if I wasn't going to use my tricks… Other than one of course… But I know one thing Itachi… I don't want to leave… If I go with you the world will see me… I finally escaped the world and I will not let you bring me back… I don't want the world to see me, because I know they would not understand like my friends here…"

I walked closer ignoring the glares of the group and bent down next to Sasuke. "They don't have to understand. The only one that should understand is me… I will understand you. I won't let them take you away from me. Neither these guys, Madara, or the law enforcement will take you away from me. I promise you."

My eyes fell to Hidan the Reaper as he stood up with the baffled Sasuke in his hands. He looked at me and held Sasuke out. I took hold of the raven close to my heart and he froze not knowing how to react.

"How can you understand me when I don't even understand myself! Let me go! Nobody will let you take me! I will kill you Hidan! I don't want…" I didn't hear what Sasuke mumbled quietly but I was dead set on taking him either way.

"It's not 'who will let me', it's 'Who's going to stop me…'" He opened his mouth nothing but mute thoughts past through his mouth waiting to be said but locked off from me.

"I don't want to hurt you…" I looked around to see most of the men on the boat bowing their heads or giving a kind smile.

"You better hurry up… Before I fricken blow you up un…" I looked down to Mr. Bang and The Puppeteer who held up the blond push Mr. Bang back on the boat and stuck out his out his wooden hand waiting for me to give him Sasuke. I raised an eyebrow and bent down giving Sasuke to him. I jumped off the boat and swam back to the dock. He had pushed Sasuke's numb body on top of the dock and I pulled myself up next to Sasuke.

He seemed worried and afraid. He had no control over the situation and he knew it. Everyone thought Madara was gone. That they could have free minds. But it seemed Sasuke still didn't believe that… He was too scared to have a say in anything at the moment. He couldn't move, he didn't speak, and he looked like he was just in his own little place in his head. Just afraid...

"Sasu…" I cooed out to him.

He turned and looked at me blandly. "I can't have you. You don't care about me… Nobody other than Madara does… I broke you like glass… Why do you lie to me…? Madara loves me… He is always there… He won't let you take me… He will kill you…" Tears ran down both his cheek and nothing but pain had stabbed me in the heart.

He spoke quickly but surely and it sounded like lines he had practiced in his head, stiff and cold.

"He is gone Sasuke… Don't worry about him. I love you… I truly care about you more than anything. Just calm down… You're with me now. Nobody is going to hurt you."

"Not me… He promised me that he would not let you touch me ever again. He never breaks his promises… He will always have me… I will always be his…" Sasuke began to break down as he seemed to repeat everything he said in his mind. He gripped me tighter weeping in my arms in fear. The times before when I saw Sasuke, he was in control, he was not scared for the most part because he felt prepared. Sasuke was not prepared and it showed what his usual mental state was. The fear of losing his power of the situation turned him into a scared little boy.

"Well I promise you that I will always take care of you. And if I take care of you… That means you are mine… Not his…" I spoke lovingly and possessively.

Though my promise settled Sasuke a tiny bit he was still on guard and anxious. I held him in my arms and walked back to my car.. Well almost got there…

I felt a bone crushing pressure on the back of my neck and fell down with Sasuke in my arms. We dropped to the splintering wet dock with a loud thud giving gave a gasp.

I literally heard one of my ribs crack as a kick was delivered into my chest. I pushed Sasuke away from my body so that he would not get hurt as I felt another kick aim at my head. Looking up when I felt drops of water drip on the ground in front of me I held my breath. Madara with a bloody chest and a crimson arm similar to mine stood above me with dangerous eyes. He was not a happy camper I will tell you that. I could practically smell the rage and anger pour off of him; it was abysmal to look at him.

"You really think that I am that weak? That you could really kill me in such little time? You are dumber than I could have imagined. Waiting for you to get back on the dock was not a pleasant experience but more than worth it after I show you what happens when you take what is mine…" He screamed at me. He ended his threat in a composed chuckle that sent quivers down my vertebrae.

I attempted to get up only to receive a foot on my throat. Madara put all his weight on my neck as I started to choke painfully. He replaced his foot with his hand and picked me up into the air. His breath was cold against my chin as he actually raised me over his head with one hand…

I closed my eyes as I felt him stab me with a knife in the stomach. Blood replaced the water that dripped off Madara. My blood. I slowly looked down at the knife that was handle deep in my chest. I felt my chest become filled with blood as Madara dropped me on the ground.

I could not breathe.

~~~~~~~~~~~SASUKE POV~~~~~~~~~~~

I watched Itachi who was on the dock bleeding to death. The knife taunted me and reminded me of when I protected him from Naruto. But Naruto didn't frighten me as much as Madara… I didn't know what to do with my numb unresponsive body that could hardly move. Madara gave a big smile and kissed me on the forehead.

"You said you would not kill him… You promised..." I spoke unable to look him in the eye.

"But I also said that I will not tolerate him touching you… I'm sorry you had to see your brother's death. But it was necessary to keep him from you…"

I looked back over to Itachi to see him getting up with a deadly look in his eye. He pulled the knife out of his chest and attacked Madara. His face a shade of blue symbolized that he could not breathe and yet he still stood and charged.

But even though Itachi had tried… He still could not win. Madara only kept pushing him down laughing… He kept getting up knowing he will die… He protected me, even when he is dead, or at least should be, he wants to save me.

Madara was wrong… Itachi cared about me. He would die for me. He forgave me for hurting him. He wanted me even if I didn't want me… I was not going to let Itachi die for me. I loved him to much for that.

I reached over willing my body to move over to a forgotten pocket knife Madara had thrown at Itachi. I gasped it tightly in my hand pulling it out of the wood as Madara was hitting Itachi. I slowly gathered myself to stand on my feet. My nerves were burning my body and sweat gathered from every inch I moved my broken body.

I knew I was weaker than Madara. I knew that he was more powerful than me. I knew that he had the physical strength and intelligence to kill anything. But he hurt the one I love. It didn't matter how much stronger he was than me. Or how much pain he could deal to me. I wasn't going to let him take Itachi from me. Not again...

I whistled at Madara and he turned around confused to find me standing. I raised the knife in my hand and sliced down with all the energy I could manage. I heard the scream of pain as the older man fell to the ground. I never felt such power in my life as I dropped to my knees and began to slice the main nerve points of his body. He could not move as I punched him while crying.

"I HATE YOU! DON'T EVER TOUCH HIM! YOU FUCKING SADISTIC PRICK! GO DIE IN HELL YOU FUCKING-…" I couldn't say anymore. My wails began to hurt my throat and my eyes were blinded by tears. I couldn't stop crying as tears poured harder than hail.

Madara wasn't moving and blood covered his face. I jumped off of him clumsily and sprinted over to Itachi. Itachi's eyes were pale and blood seemed to become like a coat over his skin. He was unconscious as I bent down and kissed him on the lips. I parted his hair and ran to the road finding a civilian.

I ran up to a random man taking the knife stabbing him and slit his throat taking his phone. I didn't know any other way to get what I wanted. It was easier that way. I typed in 911 [Since I have British and other country fans it is the police hotline].

"Hello, what is your emergency?"

"Please! This is Uchiha Itachi's brother… My brother has been stabbed and is dying. Uchiha Madara is here and has hurt him. Please come quickly!"

The was silence on the other line till I heard a answer. "An ambulance and police are on their way. I have tracked your position and they have set off. Please stay on the line… Uchiha Sasuke…"

They knew me… After all, my brother was famous for his investigation's… I didn't care if I was caught. I just wanted my brother to be safe. I wanted to be with him when he needed me… Plus, this way I won't be able to hurt anyone.

I ran back to Itachi throwing the phone in a drain. I stood above him and fell to my knees holding his hand. I smoothed my hand on his cheek and drew a line over the scars. I kissed his cheeks and realized Itachi must be still somewhat conscious because I felt a slight grip on my hand. I pressed my lips to his not caring if he was awake. I just felt like it was the best way to show how much I loved him…

I heard sirens in the distance and I took a step back from him and walked back over to the road. I didn't want him to see me be taken away. Though I wondered if I could beg them to let me ride with Itachi but I don't think that would be possible.

I saw the lights as the police slid in from both ways of the road I was standing in the middle of. Even a helicopter came. I saw cops getting out of their cars and aiming there guns at me sitting on one knee or hiding behind there cars.

"Drop the weapon and lay flat on the ground!" The man in the helicopter yelled over a intercom. I threw the knife down to the ground away from me and got down on my knees putting my hands behind my head. I didn't lie down because I wanted to keep an eye on what they did with Itachi and what I thought was Madara's corpse…

"I have no other weapons… And I will not retaliate or resist arrest… No force needs to be used." I spoke calmly as they cautiously walked over to me. I took my hands of my head scaring them but they became at ease again when I put the behind my back. They handcuffed me roughly and I gave a squeak as the adrenaline finally wore off and the pain of having my nerves pulse came back.

"Shit!" I yelled and some cops jumped back in fear.

A medic had heard my yell and ran over to me. The cops tried to wave them off but they explained about my recent car crash. "Just get my Nii-san to the hospital and don't touch my upper left shoulder where the stitches are and we won't have any trouble…" I spoke serenely.

The cops just nodded and took me to one of their cars. They sat me down helping me in and I just stared at Madara's body. Though now I wasn't sure if he was dead or not…

I saw the medics start to do CPR to the man and my heart felt like it got ripped out of my chest. I know that they will change my prison if I get Itachi's help… Madara will either be dead or away from me forever… I just need to worry about Itachi for now…

I looked over to the cop who was handing out a tissue. I realized that I was still crying and took it from the man slowly. I didn't trust anyone that I didn't know… It was just one of my habits… It didn't matter though. I waved to Itachi as he was rolled on a stretcher into the ambulance. He was dazed looking over at me.

He loves me… Like a lover or a brother… I don't care. He cares…

I care…

If he cares for me…

And Madara's gone…

Then why do I still want to kill people…?
