Author's Note: I'm so glad you enjoyed the first fic. Well, I told you I was considering doing a sequel fic from Sasuke's POV. Which this is. Just in case you happened to not notice. But now I've decided to do a few more fics to go along with them, ie. from Orochimaru's POV, Itachi's POV, and Naruto's POV. I know what you're thinking: Woot. And I agree. This songfic is actually more introspective than the first one. After this I'm going to write the sequel songfic to Torn and then the sequel to this one. I konw. I'm confused too.

Disclaimer: I do not claim to own Naruto, it's characters, nor the song "Bound" by Disturbed (who, by the way, rock all socks). Although I imagine I do. n.n

Bound - A Songfic

Darkness cover me

I'm not ready to die, girl

Because of what you don't tell me

I'm not ready to walk inside of where you're taking me

I'm not ready to die, girl

Because of what you don't tell me

I'm not willing to compromise

The man I want to be

I don't need them. They stand in my way. They're like gnats buzzing around my eyes. Disgusting simpering females with their penchant for romanticism. I need no female to stand beside me and coddle my weaknesses. Most especially that odious pink-haired female who has attached herself to me like a bloodsucker. They all wish me to change, to give up my glorious path of power and bloody revenge. Tch. They and their petulant whining. They constantly pester me with their unwanted adulation, when inside they seeth with envy of me. Ha. Let them wallow in their callous pride. I have no need for such petty children.

Think you're a little bit closer

To changing me

You're never winning me over

You're wasting time

Leave me be

And who is it that always is there in the end to rescue the helpless children when the first sign of danger appears. Ha.I long to see the expression in their eyes on the day I refuse to give in to their pleas. The day I cut my ties with this two-bit village and its fools for inhabitants. But most of all, I want to see their expressions. I want to see the fear in their eyes when they realize I am no longer their saviour. I want to see how far I can push her before she breaks. I want to hear the beautiful hatred and loathing in her voice as she screams at me for my betrayal. They wish to change me. They want me to laugh in their faces. I will see them all break in the end.

I'm not ready to die, girl

Because of what you don't tell me

I'm never going to tow the line of your conformity

I'm not ready to die, girl

Because of what you don't tell me

I'm not ready to leave the realm

of Anonymity

Why does she persist in throwing this lowly emotion known as "love" at me? Love is for the weak-minded who have nothing to cling to but their own stinking damnation. I won't be like them. I will be stronger than their weak, ignorant minds could possibly fathom. I will leave them behind, choking on my chakra. Even he, with his kyuubi powers will not surpass me. And as for my hated brother, every moment in my mind's eye I seem him dying at my hands, his blood soaking me. And that is the way it will be, because that is the only way I will have it.

Think you're a little bit closer

To changing me

You're never winning me over

You're wasting time

Get away from me

I will shed the filth of this village from myself. The time has come for me to liberate from this prison of my life. I have seen the one who offers me my desires. It is from him from whom I will take everything. Let me see his face as I plunge my blade into his neck, watching in utter glee as his life spills in torrents. I will have my power and my revenge. What does the cost matter to me? My soul? I need it not where I am going. Into my hellish darkness where no one dares follow, not even them.

Deeper I plunge, though I can still hear their screams plaguing me, even in my darkness. I will not return to you. Leave me be and stay away from my mind. I will have none of your filth and corruption. You wish to cure me with your innocence? Ha. You have no innocence. You have been poisoned by me. Fool, Naruto, you cannot change me. You cannot win me over.

You, with your tears, you seek to win my heart. I have none. I sold it for the awesome power I will posses. You, who fall to your knees and prostrate yourself before me, I will not have you. My darkness is too deep for your light to pierce. I see now that where I go, you follow, willing or not. I see that I am drawing you down with me. What do I care of the consequences? What do I care if you shatter into a thousand pieces? Is that not what I wanted?

Think you're a little bit closer

To changing me

You're never winning me over

You're wasting time

Wasting time...

Enough. Get out of me. What do you know of what I have sacrificed for my revenge and ultimate power? How dare you scream at me that I have nothing. I have everything. You are the one who is reduced to a base.

...damn you...

Author's Note: Wow. That didn't turn out how I thought it would. It's harder than I thought to write in Sasuke's perspective. Oh well. Did I perform up to task?
