Note:

I redid it. Even though I wrote the old draft and uploaded it yesterday, I reread it, and found that it sucked. Well, it didn't satisfy me, and Chiaki was going to make me redo it anyway, so, why the hell not? This is an Itachi/Sasuke songfic. THIS IS NOT YAOI OR SHONEN AI.

I do not own Naruto, or any of the fiine characters. -sobs- I am not in Evanescence and I am not in any way affiliated with the band.The song used is called "Sweet Sacrifice" and it is awesome and kicks much ass. To listen to it, use an imeem account or go to youtube. Or whatever it is you use to listen to music on the internet.

--Sasuke--

It's true, we're all a little insane.

But it's so clear,

Now that I'm unchained.

It's true. He was my best friend. He was like a brother to me, like the one I never got back. The bonds chaining me to this village needed to be destroyed. I never thought I wouldn't be able to kill him. But it is obvious that Konoha was not helping me progress toward my revenge. I am nothing more than an avenger, my purpose is revenge. At any cost.

Fear is only in our minds,

Taking over all the time.

Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

I thought onii-chan was nice. I thought he was a good person, a good brother. But to discover it was all an act. To discover he killed our family and clan to test his power. He terrified me. I ran for my life that day.

You poor sweet innocent thing.

Dry your eyes and testify.

You know you live to break me. Don't deny.

Sweet sacrifice.

I will do anything to kill him. I will lose my body to Orochimaru, I will suffer through the pain of the curse mark. I will abondon my friends and my village. Vengeance matters more to me.

One day I'm gonna forget your name,

And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain.

You think it doesn't hurt? To have something you actually had, to know what it was like to have a family. To have them all killed as an assesment of power. To not be able to do anything back. To be incredibly weak. Defensless. Unable to protect your loved ones.

--Itachi--

Fear is only in our minds,

Taking over all the time.

Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

The clan doesn't listen. My worst nightmare has come true. The village needs me to destroy the problem. I can't stop the massacre, but at least I can stop a war. Forgive me, Sasuke.

You poor sweet innocent thing.

Dry your eyes and testify.

And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?

I'm your sacrifice.

For all I did to you. For everything I took. For everything I gave up.

(I dream in darkness

I sleep to die,

Erase the silence,

Erase my life,

Our burning ashes

Blacken the day,

A world of nothingness,

Blow me away.)

End my miserable existence.

Do you wonder why you hate?

Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

Did you ever think it through? Did you ever investigate?

Abandoning your village. Seeking power from another.

Mistakes.

You poor sweet innocent thing.

Dry your eyes and testify.

You know you live to break me.

Don't deny.

Sweet sacrifice

Both are sacrifices. Both had a life.

But it was taken becuase of the whims of a clan lusting for power. For war.

Never allow your selfishness tear lives apart.

To stop a war. To obtain revenge.

So. Did u like it? Any feedback? Random comments?
