Won't Let Go (Uchiha Obito Interlude) (Mini Chapter)
A voice screaming from within
Begging just to feel again
Can't find who I am without you near me
I'd give anything to live
Cause without you I don't exist
Your the only one who saves me from myself
I abandoned this love and laid it to rest
And now I'm one of the forgotten
Konohagakure no Sato.
The Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Konoha.
Once his childhood home, a fantasy wrapped in a dream of better, but no more.
None of that mattered without R… Features obscured and hidden behind the mask that he wore, Uchiha Obito, thought dead by all, masquerading as Uchiha Madara, bit his lip harshly. The pain served to focus him on the present, to remind himself that although he still drew breath, his heart still beat, he could think and feel of his own free will, that all of that, all of that was meaningless.
He was simply a husk without her.
'But it won't be that way forever.' It was this thought which continually boosted his resolve.
The culmination of all his efforts.
The Eye of the Moon Plan.
'Soon...soon we'll be together again. Nothing will ever separate us anymore. Not time, not death, nothing….'
No task was too big, too heinous, in order to be reunited with the only person who'd ever truly meant a damn to him. He could slay his kinsmen over and over, drown in their dirty blood, relish their panicked screams, and continue on to strengthen his organization, Akatsuki, as he did so, without any hesitation or regrets.
All the while, he ignored the minuscule part of his heart and soul which screamed out that this was wrong. Rin would never ask for this, she wouldn't approve. Whywhywhywouldhedothis-?
No matter what, this is the only way forward.
He couldn't falter now.
He refused.
