Our Reflection in Each Other's Eyes.

Chapter 23: Decieved

Sasuke P.O.V.

2 days later

I walked out of the old home Kyoko and I had been living in. I left Kyoko's being behind as I headed to the hideout.

Soon I arrived to the hideout where Orochimaru would see his end. I entered to discover he had been bedridden for a while now. Kabuto approached me.

"Lord Orochimaru wishes to see you. Where's Kyoko?"

"Kyoko, has met her end." I said before knocking him out.

I walked toward Orochimaru's room as he appeared to be on his last thread of life.

"Where's Kyoko?"

"I..have killed Kyoko and am here to kill you." I announced before I sprung to him.

Even in his weakened state he was still strong, causing for me to activate my curse mark and finally end him.

I walked away from the large snake he had transformed into, with blood over my clothes and on my face. I made no move to wipe off that blood as I headed toward the home Kyoko and I had shared.

I arrived out of breath and completely exhausted. I turned the doorknob to realize it was locked. I knocked but received no answer. It wasn't until I began banging on it that Kyoko opened.

Her eyes widened once seeing me completely covered in blood.

"Sasuke-Kun, are you alright?"

"Yes I am." I replied monotonously.

Kyoko P.O.V

Sasuke-Kun was completely covered in blood. He gave off an intimidating and choking aura. Truthfully I am afraid of him. I'm afraid of how easily and quickly he became this cold.

I stepped back and he stepped forward. He reached to touch my face, but I brought my hand up to block his.

"Kyoko.." He whispered, in his soft voice, "..are you afraid of me?"

How can I respond to that? How do I tell him I am and my instincts tell me to remove him from my path?

I've never been good with people or things I am afraid of. Instead of running from them, I remove them. I dispose of them.

Whether this is the man I've come to love or not, I feel the urge to kill him.

"Y-yes a-and.. I feel the urge to kill you!!"

My voice went from afraid to fully confident and psychopathic. I blinked several times after saying what I had and walked away from him.

"J-Just don't show yourself in front of me like this anymore." I told him before walking up the stairs.

I walked into the library and sat in one of the couches with my knees up to the front of my face. I remained so, blankly staring at the bookshelf in front of me. Sasuke-Kun's footsteps were soon heard, before he entered the room.

"Kyoko, what's wrong?"

"Is the blood off of you?" I asked, looking away from him.

"Yes it is."

Still not looking at him I explained.

"Whenever I am afraid of something or someone I remove them. It's an instinct, as if I were programmed to do so. It has always been difficult to avoid doing so and seeing you like that I simply envisioned strangling you or dismembering you. I sound like a psychopath, but it's an action I as a person don't want but one my body moves itself to do."
