darkness is his only partner. or that's what he thought, the second he abandoned his village to seek power..to seek revenge of his older brother that eliminated his whole bloodline.

and for the uchiha brothers..? yeah, revenge means death.

but..a hint of light was always intruding on his darkness, your face has always shown up to the very back of his mind whenever he felt like losing control..

somehow..he still thought of you, sometimes.

his teammate, the girl that was always there for him before darkness devoured him..he occasionally heard your voice under the cold night breeze calling him.

and now, he was consumed, by the overwhelming hatred and seeking for revenge feelings the more he realizes itachi is still alive, breathing..he's barely himself anymore.

he leaned on a tree, his eyes closed and a bit of sweat rolling down the sides of his temple, he was breathing heavily, he was.. drained.

in the middle of the night, in a forest outside the village, there he was, sasuke uchiha..ex-member of his former team seven, now a member of the akatsuki and a missing-nin.
