I do not own Naruto or anything affilated it.

Story is KakashiItachi and very, very slight KakashiSasuke.

Enjoy.

Black and white memories play across the great expanse of the time since you left, the world dulling and becoming less beautiful. You were the color in my world, painted in crimson and despair. Oh, love, how beautiful you were dripping in crimson and tears. Better still were metallic kisses, after missions gone perfectly wrong. You'd crawl into bed shaking, having just paid penance for your sins; I'd wrap you in an anything but comforting embrace, far too cold and distant to be so.

What we had between us I believed to be nothing more than human frailty, the urge to hold onto something, anything, solid to keep what sanity we had left. Even though deep down in the pit of my heart, to my total distain, I knew better. I loved you, for your perfect ability to allow me to use you, as I did for you. The mortal wound inflicted upon your soul, unable to be healed, slowing killing the little humanity you still contained within your horribly efficient body.

Your youth shown through in those moments of graceful brutality towards your enemies; your eyes flashing innocence for one moment as their blood painted your alabaster skin. Never sorry for these crimes, you were a weapon, still are, cast aside when are no longer helpful. The fate of many signed with the blood of strangers. Like a monster from a child's nightmare you crept, killing those whom could have, would have, been your salvation. Then like a ghost you disappeared into the night leaving two people broken and crying in the darkness. Two people who every morning and night wondered where you were and when they would see you again.

The world is cruel in its dealings; I received the task of training the one other person who longed to see you. For the longest time I could not look at him with out my heart constricting violently. Same dead look in his eyes, bleak and terrifying, same merciless grace towards those whom stood in his way. I trained him well, love, but not well enough, in two blows you broke his body and will to live, bravo. The other left, not too long after that, seeking the power to destroy you; I'm tired of this, for in a twisted way I love you both, he who reminds me so much of you.

I dread the day he staggers through the gates dragging your mutilated body behind him. Now I'll pretend everything in the world is as it should be. Pretending every day, not allowing others to see the true damage of losing you both has done. Perhaps with time the memory of the two evil angels I love will fade and crumble to dust. But until that day comes I'll survive with the love of the two Uchiha's who turned my already nightmarish life into a living hell.
