I don't own Naruto. And I'm pretty sure I butchered the pairing with some of these lines--others, I love.
---
1. Ring
She shows it to him, and lets out a squeal of pain as he grips that hand in his own, wishing he could destroy this cursed thing.
2. Hero
He was not a hero--no matter how Konoha looked at him, she knew he was not a hero, but she loved him anyways, and maybe he'll save her from this.
3. Memory
Sometimes at night he sees warm eyes full of love, and he desperately tries to push it away, knowing full well they won't go.
4. Box
It's small and plain and black--sometimes at nights he opens it, just to see her and remember.
5. Run
He stands above her, sword raised, and looks at her calm gaze, with something inside him screaming at her to run.
6. Hurricane
He comes home injured, badly, and she rushes out, worried--he just laughs bitterly, how ironic the Uchiha prodigy was beaten by a force of nature.
7. Wings
She feels like a bird with clipped wings, and only he understands--this is why he sets her free.
8. Cold
This was the first time she's seen him sick, and even though it was just a cold, she can't help but worry.
9. Red
As her blood coats his fuingers, he feels a twinge of emotion, and wonders why.
10.Drink
It is always she who brings him a drink while he trains, and he'll have no one else.
11.Midnight
Her eyes were always midnight, never tainted by crimson, and he wanted it to stay that way.
12. Temptation
She seemed so innocent, so forbidden--she was married and his mother--that he couldn't resist her.
13. View
"Look,"she whispers,"Isn't it beautiful?"
14. Music
He's suprised to come home to a soft song, and finds her singing, looking for all the world like a young girl again.
15. Silk
She runs her fingers through his hair, teasing him about it's silky texture, and she laughs at his confused expression. only time she's ever seen him flustered was the one time she walked out of the bath, and accidently dropped her towel--he actually blushed, and averted his eyes, muttering,"C-cover yourself, okaa-san."
17. Promise
When he is a child, she promises him that he'll always be first in her heart--when Sasuke is born, he isn't so sure.
18.Dream
Some mornings he wakes up, wondering if it was all a dream.
19.Candle
It's dark, with a single light, they can hear the Kyuubi raging, and she finds herself hoping he'll become scared, and need to be comforted.
20. Talent
He had a talent, among his many others, to make her flush, to moan, and beg--a talent Fugaku lacked.
21.Silence
He never talked much, but that was alright, as it was a welcome reprieve from the world.
22.Journey
She feels her heart swell as she watches her son make his first journey, from the crib to her.
23.Fire
She sees the desire burning in his cold eyes, and longs to respond with more then the gaze she gives him back.
24.Strength
Her calm, quiet strength is something only a mother has, and she is the only one he would consider 'stronger' then him.
25.Mask
It suprises both of them when she reaches up, slids off his ANBU mask, and even more so when she presses her lips to his.
26.Ice
He does only one more thing before leaving, and that was to stroke her cheek as he has done many a time before while she slept--only this time, she was cold as ice.
27.Fall
As a child, she had always caught him the rare times he had fallen--now, watching her slow descent, his hands ache to catch her.
28.Forgotten
He has a feeling Sasuke was long forgotten his reason for revenge, but he still remembers her warm eyes and soft lips.
29.Dance
It's just another afternoon when Itachi grabs his mother's hands and pull sher into a dance--only he knows what will befall her that vening, and this is his way of apologizing.
31.Sacred
Sometimes, he wonders is there is a heaven, and if she's in it--only to admonish himself for listening to Hidan too much.
32.Farewell
Before every mission, in the brief moments no one is watching, she'd sneak him a kiss and smile.
33. World
She smiles as she looks down at the child in her arms, and in the whole world it is as if it is only the two of them as he lets out a smile back.
34.Formal
She smiles as she looks down at him as he tugs on the sleeve of her formal kimono with a solemn face, thinking,"How precious he is!"
35. Fever
After feeling the heat from her forehead, he leads her to her bed, and lays a cool cloth on her forehead--it was the first and only time she's seen him do something like this, and she wonders why.
36.Laugh
Smiles came easy to her, but she souldn't ever laugh--unless it was her eldest trying to make her.
37.Lies
"I'll take care of you forever,"he promises when she's pregnant with Sasuke--she remembers this the exact moment his blade slides into her stomach.
38.Forever
One day, he knows, he will be blind--when that day comes, he'll be haunted by her image forever.
39.Overwhelmed
When he becomes ANBU captain, she knows she should be overwhelmed with pride--instead, she is filled with worry.
40.Whisper
At nights, she'd sneak into his room as he slept, and tell him in a low voice everything--years later, he wonders what is missing from his sleep.
41.Wait
He was ready to kill them at the age of eleven, but he didn't do so until he was thirteen--though why he waited so long, he doesn't know--or doesn't want to know.
42.Talk
One day he just stalks into the kitchen, and asks her to speak, so she tells him about everything under the sun--she later thinks to herself that she had never seen herself so relaxed.
43.Search
Long after he killed her, he tried to find that same--was it an emotion?--he had around her, and failed.
44.Hope
Truthfully, she didn't have much hope for the future of the Uchiha clan, and as she looked into his eyes in the end, she understood his reasoning, even if she didn't accept his method.
45.Eclipse
As one of Deidara's birds fly up and explode, blocking the sun in a huge supernova, he was struck with a memory of her, and her love of fireworks.
46.Gravity
It became harder to breather, and it was as though she was held down by and unseen force to the ground; even then, she struggled to keep her eyes open on him so he'd be the last thing she'd ever see.
47.Highway
He gives one look back before he leaves Konoha for good--he knows he's left his heaven when he killed her, and he's now starting on the highway to hell.
48.Unknown
She smiles as he looks at her with those eyes, looking into an unknown world, yet far to wise for an infant--she doesn't understand what that woman meant when she said something was wrong with him.
49.Lock
As she watched Fugaku lock the door, she wanted to laugh, as if a simple mechanism could protect him from the Uchiha prodigy, the monster that the Uchiha's themselves created.
50.Breathe
As she took her last breath, and stilled, and became no more, he felt something die inside himself as well.
