Sasuke:

Sunlight filled the sky, as its radiant beams scattered, its hue illuminating each crevice of the land.

Sparrows chirped a sonorous background melody as I wished that time would halt. So, I could enjoy the serenity of this moment. The forest was like a second home to me but even the peaceful aura of the forest couldn't keep my demons at bay.

Around every corner, I was reminded of them.

The trees shone as if they were wearing golden crowns. Crowns--my breath hitched in my throat as I was wickedly reminded of how hated the weight of a crown on my head. It was like I was carrying a piece of the world on my shoulders.

I despised the crown that had caused such pain in my life. It was because of a crown that my life was anchored to that castle and wasn't able to go out and reap my revenge. It was because of a crown that my parents had died. It was because of a crown that I had lost my best and only friend. It was because of a crown that my life had been predetermined.

Although I was never supposed to wear a crown, that was by brother's responsibility.

Until he had casted the burden onto me by turning traitor and orchestrating our parents' death. I wish that Kakashi had sent me out to end his selfish existence instead of sending me on another random ghost chase.

The vast sea of trees was not able to absorb the bright sparks of the sun and although time moved on, the emotions that surged inside me stilled my soul.

It was almost like the sun was mocking me, I thought. How dare the sun shine when everything precious was taken from me. How dare everything and everyone be so happy when my heart was shrouded in never-ending darkness.

I hated the sun. the sun is arrogant thing if you asked me, always leaving the world whenever it grew tired of us.

The moon never leaves us, it's always there sewn into the sky. It understood what it was like to be human--to be alive. It was uncertain, alone and crated with imperfections.

Every day it was a different version of itself, changing as we did. Sometimes it was wan and weak and it was strong, and bountiful.

Flashback:

I leaned against the wall of Kakashi's study waiting--albeit not patiently. I was summoned to meet with him after his Allied Shinobi forces meeting.

Kakashi was known to be unpunctual and even although the meeting had ended 45 minutes ago; according to my estimates he was nowhere in sight.

The steady drum of footsteps sounded outside in the hall and I straightened my posture anticipating his arrival. I was ready to lash out at him of wasting my time with this so called urgent summons.

Kakashi stepped into the room, with a short long-haired blonde woman at his side. The light blue diamond seal on her forehead that helped me identity her as Tsunade Senju, the current queen of the Land of Whirlpools. What could she possibly be doing here in what was supposed to be my private meeting with Kakashi.
