He stares, always a shadow (all distorted shapes and dark, smoky images) in his older brothers footsteps. Wanting to be him, wanting to kill him, it's all the same to Sasuke Uchiha. Just two different sides of the same coin; a coin that fell into the dark depths of a well, where it rusted and fell from the grace of the world on one person's wish.

He watches and chases a memory; the memory of a boy he called friend. It makes Naruto Uzumaki sick to his stomach to see what Sasuke has become. He doesn't understand the pure drive to kill his flesh and blood. He doesn't understand why his rival would hand himself to the twisted hands of a pale, manipulating snake.

She doesn't understand and lives on broken promises and a shattered hope for tomorrow. She's become so numb, she can't feel the pain. It's gone, disappeared, replaced with a gaping hole in her very being. Sakura Haruno wishes she didn't have to force every smile, but she can't smile anymore.
