Apparently I'm doing another chapter for Sasuke's birthday. He's lucky I like him so much. ~shoots him an angry look~ Or at least what he should have been.

This chapter is more the reason this is rated T, but it's mainly because of some cussing.

"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Waking up with no purpose does a strange thing to one's psyche.

Waking up with no purpose, in an unknown place, with an unknown person, and being told that the purpose and the reason for it one just spent and ruined their entire life to fulfill was an utter lie? It fucked their psyche over so much that they didn't know what was up and what was green.

Luckily he was accustomed to not showing his emotions, so the only thing that pointed to his psyche being fucked was gripped and torn hair, wide dilated eyes, and harsh breathing.

Although it didn't much occur to him that this person he didn't even know could be lying to him. The most he could think about right now was how much he messed up everything to kill the brother that he thought didn't care, but instead cared so much that he ruined his own life and future to save Sasuke's. (1)

And he messed it all up.

Everything.

He could almost hear the idiots back in Konoha laughing at him.

So, when offered another purpose to replace the other one, what does he do with his psyche still being fucked? Why, accept of course. No, no, don't even think about it, just accept. It doesn't matter that he doesn't even think if this one is as fake as the previous.

When the mind rape is finally over, tears running down his face for the first time in years, he still doesn't realize the grip the cold dead fingers have on his heart and mind. The masked face with a sharingan eye laughs at just how easy it was.

He doesn't realize.

(1) OH NOES, I MENTIONED SASUKE'S NAME FOR THE FIRST TIME. ~snickers~ I kind of had to do that, otherwise that sentence would have been extremely confusing. I would have preferred not to, but I'm too lazy to rewrite it in a better way, so it'll have to do. Besides, we all know that it's Sasuke anyway.

Yup, it's finished. Done. Happy birthday you little screw-up, you. ~ruffles his hair and pulls back quickly before her fingers get cut off~

This turned out much better than I thought, especially with the whole bitter humor, sarcasm, and 'mind rape' bits. But that seems to be the attitude I've taken with Sasuke lately anyway, so I just had to put that in there.

And...both of the chapters are really short...erm. There's not really much else to say on this topic.

Ja ne.

(Btw? That quote up there was half-assed. I just kinda looked up something and settled with it, I don't even know if it's by Churchill. ~shot~ It's what I get for procrastinating.)
