My eyes are closed to the world

I only see with another ones word

I can not see, I am blind

The light, I can not find

I sleep in darkness;

I wake in darkness.

My Pandemonium

(Sequel to My Epiphany)

Hey everyone, thanks for joining me again and for all the great reviews and support on My Epiphany. You guys are the best! Let's begin the sequel with my favourite band, Evanescence.

Death and Death in it's most hidieous form

Catch me

As I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here as I fall into myself

This truth

Drives me

Into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all the way

If I will it all the way

Whisper by Evanescence


Chapter 1: Prologue

It's been a week since Sasuke got home from the hospital. Sasuke was legally blind after Itachi stabbed him with a poisoned kunai. Sasuke's never been the same. Even though he is blind, he is persistant to have no help and do everything himself. But, it always ends in failure and after many failed attempts, he finally lets me help him. The worst part of this is to hear Sasuke's pain. Sometimes, he would break down crying, yelling how weak he was and how much he hated his brother, Itachi. He cries how he wants a normal life and for someone just to take the pain away. I would even wake up in nights, hearing Sasuke cry himself to sleep.

Tsunade and me, his own father, do whatever we can do to help him. Tsunade has been teaching him how to observe his surroundings by using chakra, but unfortunately, it will take a couple of weeks, maybe even months before he prefects it. I, Kakashi, have been his legal guardian during this painful process. I'm not much help, though, since it takes forever before Sasuke accepts my help. I don't even ask him if he needs help - if I do, he will shout at me: "Do you think I'm weak I can't do it myself? Dammit, Kakashi, I'm not as weak as you think I am!" I would try my best to re-assure him that anyone would ask for help if they themselves were blind. He would shrug it off, obviously not believing my words.

I feel so sorry for Sasuke. All he can do is listen to music and visit. I couldn't imagine being imprisoned in your own mind like that - seeing nothing but darkness and your thoughts. I can see it doing damage on his mind, also - he doesn't eat that much, you can tell he hasn't been sleeping well. What am I supposed to do?

I've been sharing the pain with Sasuke, though. The pain of seeing him in pain, my son. Sasuke rarely talks to anyone. I ask him why he's so jumpy, he refuses to say a word. I ask him do you have any questions about me being your father that he just learnt, he says nothing. I know he wants to get this off his chest but he sees it as a sign of weakness.

Not to mention I am suffering from nightmares. It's always the same dream. Always.

It's always about Itachi getting a hold of Sasuke again, and torturing him - mentally and physically. Taunting him about his past, how weak he is and cutting him up with sharp objects. I hear Sasuke howl with pain. The nightmare always ends when 'Itachi kills Sasuke' and I wake up with tears streaming down my face.

I am now Sasuke and my eye's. I will not let my son down.

I, Kakashi, swear it.


Unknown person's point of view:

Squinting my eyes in the darkness and the fog, I saw my enemy's window - Sasuke. I made sure not to make a noise or get to close, I didn't need the extra attention. I could hurt Kakashi if I take his own flesh and blood - I WILL make him pay.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Pandemonium - A place or scene of utter chaos; HELL.
