"Tell me!" Sasuke yelled, narrowed eyes and clenched fists.
"Promise first!" I whispered, just loud enough for him to hear the muffled choke.
"Why should I? You said you'd always be there for me but then you had to kill off every member of our clan! Itachi, I have no reason to promise anything to you." His hissed words sent shivers down my spine, litterally.
Itachi hugged me tighter in order to comfort me and I knew it worked when my breathing steadied. "Maybe not but you have every reason to keep a promise to Takara." I froze and my eyes grew at his words.
Sasuke settled down, a little before creating silence for a moment. "If she's with you then she's a traitor!" I burst into tears and burried my face into Itachi's shirt, again.
"No. She's seen the outcome of this through Izari and Izari was never wrong."
"Shut up, already! I don't care what any of you have seen! All I care for is your death!" He screached, jumping to his feet as he made hand signs for chidori and started running at us.
"I have to show him." I whispered. Itachi gave me a stearn look so I nodded before running at Sasuke. Sasuke's arm shot in front of my face, an inch from my nose before I bent backwards, watching the electric field in his palm run past me. I hit my palm to his nape and pulled him down, on top of me, to look in my eye, again.
"You killed him." I cried over Itachi's lifless, crimson stained body. My tears mixing with the blood that dripped from his smiling lips. "I told you what would happen and you killed him, anyway!?" I screeched. Eyes clentched shut as tears stung like pins and needles as the salty water crumbled from my lids.
Sasuke just steared at his bother, then to me, before collapsing to the concrete with a thud of weak confusion, as to why Itachi spoke such last words; 'I'm sorry Sasuke, there won't be a next time. This is it.'
Madara stood before us. Sasuke lay asleep in front of me as I shoot in the corner of the dark, stingy room. Only light was a single candle flame, dancing in the dark beside the masked man. "Takara Imarne, you've become quite a problem for my plans."
"S-s-shut up." I whispered in a hissed breath, weasing out of my mouth. My arms wrapped tightly around my legs, crushing my chest.
"Come here." His voice was a deep, hollow, haunting scratch at the eardrums. Fear told me not to disobey him but scolded me for doing what he said, at the same time. I pressed my palms against the floor to hold my weight, before my ankles gained enough strength to hold me up and start walking. I stepped in shakey, uneasy steps. I looked down at my feet as I cried silent tears of fear, my sight blurred and morphed. "Look at me." I lifted my head to see the orange swirld mask, revieling one Sharingan eye.
"W-what do you want?" I spat, my face holding anger, fear and sadness as I spoke in bravery and cockiness.
"I want your eyes." My eyes grew at his words and his firm grip around my wrist. I heard cracks from my bones and a squeek at my throat as I bit at my lip, until it bled. "Either, I take your eyes with force and put you hrough as much pain as possible or you earn my forgivness by useing your Kekkei Genkai and cooperate."
"Go die in a hole." I hissed, spitting venom from my words with audacity. I heard a sharp pain with a loud snap at my wrist. "Nnnnrh!" I winced, squeezing my eyes shut as I felt Sasuke move, waking up.
"Do it!" He hissed, squeezing even tighter as I breathed heavily at the pain.
"Whatever but don't you dare hurt Sasuke or I'll kill you." I growled, no tears just anger and fire in my eyes.
"I don't think you're in the position to be making threts to me." I heard his sadistic smile behind his mask as he spoke.
It sickened me but I'd come up witth a plan. "You need to ditch the mask for me to do this." He let go of my wrist and with a glide of the palm I saw the discusting face of the man I hated the most. I closed my eyes as I placed my index and middle finger over his lids and felt blindness take me again.
"Get away from her!" Sasuke's hiss was a cry of relief and pain to my ears. I finished and spun on my heals to face him. I opened my eyes to feel him freeze up, through the floor. "What did you do? Your eyes?"
I smiled and walked over to the shocked, worried and confused Uchiha, before collapsing to the floor infront of him. "My eyes are fine." I felt his hand shift to touch my cheekin a gentle, warm grip as he steard into my blind, blue eyes.
"What did you do to her?!" His voice violent with the intention of all his effort toward protecting me from the mystireous, dark man. His hands pulled me into his warm body for comfort, my tears rolling down his bare chest as my non-broken arm wrapped around him and my fingers squeezed into his shoulder and the other hang over my thigh.
"I did nothing, it's what she did." The hum of that discusting man stung at my ears, making me wince and bury my head further into Sasuke's chest. "I brought you here to talk to you about your brother."
The sunset was beautiful, not that I could see it. I just felt it's warmth crash over my body like the waves did at the rocks. However, the vibe wasn't. It was an uneasy silence from everyone but Sasuke as his tears crashed to the ground. I felt his tears influence mine, pouring from blacked-out sight. I walked, silently towards him, over rocks that I felt with each step. I stood beside him and traced my fingers inbetween his with one hand as the other reached up and wiped away warm tears from bloodshot eyes. I felt his wet lashes close against my skin, before he wrapped his fingers around my broken wrist, gently and carefully not to hurt me. I froze as I felt his black eyes stear at me, his heart calm a bit as he pulled me into his chest, again, crying into my hair. "Calm down, Sasuke or you'll give yourself a heart attack." I choked, attempting to coo his tears away. I'd never seen his cry, I couldn't imagine there'd come such a day and I didn't wish for it, either.
"I love you." He breathed in a whisper, gasping for air to enter his pannicking lungs.
"I love you, too."
"If you hurt yourself or end up dead like everyone else I loved I'll never forgive you." The warmth of his tears left my skin as the wind danced over us, crashing the meaning of cold into our minds.
"I don't plan on causing you anymore pain so I won't." I smiled half heartedly into his chest, before I felt him pull a fraction away to stear into my eyes.
I felt him lean in and plant a kiss on my chapped lips, before pulling and wipeing tears away. "We are no longer the Hebi, we're now team Taka and Taka have but one goal; To distroy the hidden leaf." I froze and burst into tears at his desicion. He's going to distroy our home and everyone that lived in it. I felt sick and pained but I loved him and wanted nothing more than to stick with him through everything. EVern if it was hell.
We're in the meeting room. Sasuke sat at the table while everyone else just stayed standing around. I stood behind Sasuke and to the side, a little. I had my elbow resting on the chair and my fingers twirl around the strands of my hair. I heard everyone talking but didn't understand. I didn't care, I wasn't listening. I felt weaker than I should have been and a strong pain in my chest. My elbow glided down the back of the seat and I dug my fingers into the solid. I hung over my knees, letting my hair drop as I started coughing, loud and violent.I could tast blood and heard it splatter on the floor. I felt the warm grasp of Sasuke's arms melt in and around my torso to support me. "Dammit Takara, heal your butterflies and summon them back to you." His worried voice echoed in my ears with the ringing of deaths music.
"I didn't send out any of my butterflies." I coughed out harsh breaths of metalic, warm, crimson liquid. I knew what it was. I felt the seal on my hand weaken moments before. I didn't want to tell Sasuke or the others, though.
I felt Karin's footsteps rush over to me and her body shift down to my level. She lifted her sleeve in a sound of a suffled scrape of fabric. "Quick, bite me." She offered.
I felt her skin graze my lips and it was tempting but I shook my head and backed away. "I don't need chakra, I don't know wha I need but your efforts won't do anything." I hissed out breaths with steins of my relied on senses fading. "But thanks."
I collapsed to my knees, letting go of the seat to have Sasuke follow me to the floor, holding me up. "Sit up." He whispered, his hand to the middle of my spine and the other around the front of my weist. I used all of my strength to obey him but could only go as far as a foot from the floor. He took my wrists from my mouth and pulled them above my head, helping me up, more. "Breath." He cooed the whisper against my ear, calming me, the slightest bit, just enough. I collapsed into him, weakly to feel his arms wrap themselves around me and lift me up, again.
I felt warm and secure, bound in the worried arms of the one I loved most in the whole world. I'd been couching up more blood, again. The seal was almost completly broken but I still felt safe as I'd lay, half asleep in Sasukes's arms, in the warm bed. I'd been staying in bed, alot lately unless I'd demand I go out and do somthing, due to being bored out of my mind. But it was nice, just laying there listening to his heart beat thump through to mine, sending messeges back and forth between every roll of the sweet sound. Sasuke'd rarly leave my side, ever.
I sang to his slow, calm breaths in a higher pitch than I usually do. "Stars dance among the sky as the music from the wind whispers secrets in our ears. Listening and watching for daytime to die, again as if feels like years when you're waiting for something you love.
Hearts beat through the floor to the next persons feet, sending messages as to what they're feeling and seeing. Breating turns to whispering when you're too shy to say anything yet you need to say something, at all.
Water sparkles under the sky, contrasting blinding light to unadjusted eyes since we always walk among the dark. Light is always a shock to our fragile hearts.
Guessing the next direction the wind will bend the grass, pointing to the mountains and making you wonder if you've found home, at last.
Water sparkles under the sky, contrasting blinding light to unadjusted eyes since we always walk among the dark. Light is always a shock to our fragile hearts. Lightning strikes creating a dangerous light, piercing to unadjusted eyes since we always walk among the dark. Light's the biggest shock to such fragile hearts.

I felt Sasuke's arms tighten around my torso and his lips press against my nape.
"You realy do have the voice of an angel, don't you, angel eyes." His whispered words sent shivers down my spine.
I giggled and tilted my head back to look up at him through the blackness of my sight. "You think everything I do is that of an angels, don't you?"
"That's why that name suits you." His kisses swept across my neck in sweet, short breaths, tickeling my skin.
"I can't believe you nicknamed me." I breathed out, closing my eyes at the touch of his lips commanding me to surrender to him.
My body weakened and sunk into his as his kissed dragged across me. He rolled me over so I faced him, my lips grazing across his as he spoke. "Niether can I." With that I felt his lips press further into mine and his tounge enter and tackle mine in a fight for dominance. He won of course, almost imediately. He ran his fingers gently up and down the sides of my torso, making me shiver and make go weak as a single moan exsited my lips. He smirked into my lips and we faught each other with kisses, touch and breaths lingering at preassure points. It was another sweet joy ride to a fantasy land, making me go weaker and weaker but twitch and squirm at his touch. He'd always come across so violent and dark and he was but with me, alone he was always so sweet and gentle. It made it hard to believe he could kill anyone, let alone wanted too.
"You're too good at that." I breathed into his lips in a pant, my fingers running through his hair as my head collapsed into his shoulder, before I snuggled into his neck.
"I could say the same to you." His smirk ran across his words with the not-needed ego boost.
I smiled into his neck and placed a singel kiss to have his turn to face me. I felt his breath glide along my lips and make strands of my hair flick out of my face. He placed his palm gently over my heart before lingering a kiss at my lips. "I understand how you can read people through their hearts, now."
"Oh?"
"I can tell, right now that you're finally not wanting to hurt yourself, anymore." He smiled, something no one but me would get to see. "So vibrant and soft." I was frozen at his words. He'd captured a little essance of me and gotten to understand and know it, by heart. He removed his palm and shifted down to replace his hand with his ear. Listening to my heart thump at his touch, I smiled and continued to run my fingers through his hair in a soft, sweet, sweep of my finger tips before my eyes shut and my strength left me. The last sone in my ears; "Don't leave me, you're all I have left! Angel eyes, stay with me, dammit!"
"The only song I finished was sung to you, I'm happy you liked it but the only other one I finished was yours." I smiled, tasting his tears as they dripped to my lips. "I just wish I had time to sing it to you." I smiled, my lashes dropping to my cheeks as I drifted off to my own little heaven with Izari and Itachi.
The real world snapped back into sight as I really did tast the salty tears at my lips. Sasuke's wide eyes streaing into mine in fear and confusion. I didn't stop the genjutsu. He did. He shook his head and sat up quickly. I followed him, watching him shake and wipe away tears that wouldn't leave him alone. His eyes darted back and forth between Itachi and I. I intertwinded my fingers inbetween his as Itachi stood and stepped closer and closer to his little brother. "T-that's why you're crying, that day? It must be true, it must be." His eyes wide as he watched his brother lower to his level.
"Oh, Itachi, Zetsu is in a genjutsu, he's recording an illusion." I whispered, smiling.
"What is he seeing?" His black eye lashes fluttered as he blinked his sight from Sasuke to me.
"You and Sasuke, both die." I swollowed a lump in my throat at the thought of either of them dying, it sickened me.
"It's better that way." He smiled, before he glanced back to his little brother, again. He raised his hand and poked him in the middel of the forhead. "Don't worry, Sasuke; This time everything will be fine." At that sight I burst into tears. Sasuke wrapped his arms around his older brother and scrunched up the fabric of his cloche as his head buried itself into Itachi's chest.
"The mission was a succsess, Izari." I smiled, raising my head to the sky and feeling rain pour over me. My Sisters cold tears of happiness soaking my hair and chasing my tears.
