Darkness that comes first and follows after

Disclaimer: Do not own Naruto characters, I wish I did though since I would probably be a milionar.

Okey so I am back and I know I have another story up and running but due to some neglect I seem to have lost the red tread, but now that I only have exams left and since they are open book I dont have much else to do than write again =>

Hope people that read underneath the sakura tree wont be too disappointed that I am taking a break from it, I am not tossing the story I just need to find the missing tread again hehe. But I came up with another idea in the mean time and I wanted to see if it worth taking further.

So please tell me what u think, I do live for the comments => hehe oh yeah and the poem is mine so if u think it is good and want to use it please ask for permission first.

Death

It cannot be touched
Nor can it be seen
And yet
Visible scars it leaves
The forever darkness
That ends all life.

Black eyes stared at the lifeless body lying on the floor, the blood had begun seeping out
from the wound and created a small red ocean underneath the body. Black eyes moved from
the body to the bloody sword in his hand, he had taken another life. A life that carried value to someone, his wife, his children, maybe the man even had friends. However Sasuke could care less, to him the lifeless body on the floor was a job, emotions such as sympathy and regret did not fit in the equation, if it did he would have been dead long ago. Sasuke lifted his free and up to his ear and enabled the radio contact with his team,

*Job done?* a voice echoed in his ear

“Hn”

*Alright 10 min same place* the voice said

“Hn” Sasuke clicked the enabler button again and the radio went silent before taking out a white cloth from his pocket, wiping the blood off his katakana. The blood seeped in to the white cloth tainting its pure white colour with each stroke, his black eyes followed the motion as if it was hypnotising him. Somehow it was fascinating to watch how something so innocent as a cloth could be so easily tainted.

Once he was done he tossed the blood soaked cloth on top of the body and placed the katakana back in to its holster before moving to the window he had entered. Before leaping out Sasuke turned around and took one last look at the dead body, somehow it had become a habit of his as if he is making sure the person is dead. Satisfied with what he saw he took the leap on the roof tops and disappeared into to the night.

“He is late” Jugo sneered. Much like Sasuke, he owned very little patient if any at all.

“Relax Jugo” Suigetsu said from where he was lying. Jugo glared at the shorter male who in response only shook his head. After years of being on the same team the deadly glare had lost its effect, even the Uchiha death glare did not hold much power in the group anymore unless the Uchiha got really pissed off. He remember the first time he had seen the Uchiha glare, it had been on Sasuke’s second week as the team leader. He and Jugo had finally reached the point of no return for a confrontation, a very ugly confrontation. Jugo was pissed off having a boss 10 years younger than him tell what to do, Sasuke was pissed because Jugo always disobeyed his orders every time he thought the Uchiha was wrong, which were 90% of the time. The fight itself only lasted 10 minutes, and it is obvious who had won the fight or Sasuke would not still be the team leader. The Uchiha brothers were not called prodigies for nothing.

Suigetsu’s trip down memory lane was interrupted when Sasuke landed in front of them and Jugo instinctively yelled at the younger man. Sure they had settled the score of who was boss but that did not mean Jugo could not show his dominance as he called it. Suigetsu was sure the word dominance was just a cover up for brotherly love, over the years the golden haired man had taken a liking to the younger one and always looked out for him.

“Your late Uchiha” Jugo growled

“Hn” The raven haired man responded. Karin who had been looking in a mirror for the past 20 minutes fixing her hair and make up almost jumped the Uchiha after he had landed.

“Sasuke” she squealed pressing her body against him giving him the most seductive look she could give. As usual she had dressed herself in a pair of tight black jeans with a low cut, a revealing top with a push up bra for added effect. “You’re not injured are you?” she purred placing her hand on his chest. Suigetsu rolled his eyes as he watched the woman throwing herself at the man, ever since the Uchiha had entered the agency Karin and ever other female worker had tried to get in to the his pants.

“Let’s go” Sasuke said, ignored Karin completely as he with high speed left her standing alone on the roof top. Jugo followed with the almost the same speed, Suigetsu chuckled and looked at Karin.

“One would think after 5 years you would have gotten a clue he doesn’t want you” he said to her.

“Shut up Suigetsu. You shouldn’t be talking, you can’t even nail the ugly woman in accounting” Karin spat at him before disappearing after Jugo and Sasuke.

“ouch” Suigetso had laugh a little as he followed his team towards the base.



“Welcome back Uchiha-san” a woman wearing a black suit and a white shirt met them as they landed at the back garden entrance. Sasuke merely glanced at the woman before walking past her followed by his team, “Uchiha-san wants to see you … alone”

“well hmm, I’ll see you guys tomorrow” Suigetsu said excusing himself from the team, Jugo followed his example dragging Karin with him. It was not often Itachi called Sasuke to his office right after a mission, they usually gave their status report to kisame who in turn reported it to Itachi, the head of the organisation/ law firm. Suigetsu took a last look at Sasuke as he walked away, he could count on one hand how many times he had seen Itachi in person but there where no doubt that the two of them were related. They had the same black coloured hair and eyes, the same stoic facial expression. However there was something with Itachi that screamed evil, Sasuke did not have the same aura, something Suigetsu kinda was glad he did not. Having a pissed Sasuke was one thing but a pissed Itachi, Suigetsu shrugged, the thought alone gave him the chills. Despite that he still wondered if Itatchi really was the strongest of the two, Sasuke spent all day training perfecting his moves unlike his brother who never seem to leave the office.

“Ne Jugo, who do you think is the strongest one of the Uchiha brothers?” he asked. Jugo glared at the man

“Shut up Suigetsu”
“what, I am just asking” the younger man said.

“Well don’t” Jugo said walking into the equipment room to leave his weapons and gear before he was going home. Suigetsu gave him a look before following him into the room.

*knock*knock*

“come in”

“you wanted to see me?” Sasuke said stepping into the dark office and closing the door behind him.

“yes, come closer.” Itachi said in his dark voice. Not arguing Sasuke moved to his brothers desk and as soon he stopped Itachi’s red eyes where on him. “I take it you mission went well”

“Yes, the target was disposed off successfully and there were no slip ups from me or the team.” Sasuke stated in a robotic voice.

“Good” Itachi was pleased “well today it seems I am bearer of good news as well. I have granted you your request for a week holiday”

“thank you”

“Although I am curious as to what brought up this request so early, does this mean you are not coming to see our parents next month?” Itachi asked

“No reason, I just wanted a week off before the Kimimaro’s trial starts” Sasuke responded

“ah well then, I will see you bright and early next Monday, little brother” the older Uchiha said before dismissing the younger.

Meantime somewhere else …

“Naruto it is one o’clock time to close up the cafe” a tall man stood behind the till half shouting.

“Yeah, just a sec Dad”

A couple of seconds later a young man with golden hair colour and deep blue coloured eyes came out from the back room, smiling from ear to ear.
