It's Good To Be Bad

Shedding Light

"Hurts doesn't it?"

"Losing the people you actually came to care about."

"Now you suffer in order to feel the misery you inflicted on others."

I didn't bother listening to the voice in my head. I wasn't in the mood to be lectured right now.

All evil desires crumbled like my soul. I knew this day was to happen soon but like this, I just couldn't bear to imagine.

"Juno!"

Go away, leave me alone to die.

"Juno!"

Why can't you understand, leave me  alone!

"Juno!"

"Shut the hell up!" I yelled out sitting up from my laying position. I looked around and noticed I was in a room, with three other people in it. Cherry sat by the back wall with her head rested on her knees. Kakashi leaned against the opposite wall reading his book.

"Hey you okay?" Naruto asked by the room door a sad expression on his face. I glanced at him then back to the bed I was currently in. "Before you ask your in Sakura's bed." He said answering my pondering question.

"Why?" I whispered clutching the white linen sheets. "Why do you give me sympathy. What could you possibly gain?"  I shouted louder throwing the blanket off me. Everyone stared not knowing what to say. "And its Lady Juno to you!"

"Calm down." Kakashi came over and laid a hand on my shaking shoulder. I tried shaking him off but he held a strong grip. "We're not going to hurt you."

I hissed at him blaring my sharp front teeth. "The hell with you." I spat letting my eyes turn bright orange.

Kakashi shook his head releasing me. "She sure is special. Just like he said." He whispered over to Naruto who nodded agreeing. Calming down I grew confused. Who said I was special?

I swung my feet onto the floor but not standing up. "Who said that?"

Naruto came over next to me reaching over to grab my hand, I let him not understanding where this is going. "C'mon Sakura." Kakashi instructed leaving the room, Sakura followed giving one last look at me before heading out the door.

I turned to Naruto demanding an explanation.

"Itachi did. Before that run it with that masked dude I got caught in one of his genjutsu." My mouth dropped and so did my heart. "He wanted me to give you this." Naruto opened my hand and put something inside. I held it up and it was a necklace with the Uchiha symbol with his and my name engraved on the back. Tears rolled down my pale cheeks. 

"Oh!" Naruto bent over reaching into his bag by the bed. "Also this book." I took it from him flipping threw the pages. It was my diary. He must've read everything. A little note slipped out onto the floor. I reached for it reading what it said.

'Lady Juno, my sweet snake, I have found your diary. You shouldn't have left it behind, fortunately I was the first to discover it so rest of the Akatsuki have not seen its contents. I feel great sorrow for you but you had to do what means necessary and do what you think is right. There will always be someone who cares, even if they are on the opposite side. That necklace was given to me by my mother. I thought of you because of the connection we shared, you helped me come to terms with myself, now you must do the same. PS it should be delivered by Naruto the yellow haired boy.'

I dropped the letter, bending over clutching my heart, the rivers now turned to waterfalls. Naruto wrapped his arms around me gently smoothing my back. "Itachi told me to look after you. Even when you run away or try to fight us, I should always welcome you with open arms, it your ultimate weakness. Being accepted." I glanced up through clouded eyes.

"Thank you Naruto." I whispered, struggling to speak as my face buried into his shirt, him cradling me like a baby, my tears drenching his shirt. "Thank you."
