-Sometimes life seems too quiet, into paralyzing silence, like the moon is dark, meant to make me strong-

Namine walked through the halls of the Akatsuki hide out, a small grin plastered on her face. She was always the most cheerful of the Akatsuki, besides Tobi who happened to also be me. Though it was just a disguise. Namine, Pein and Konan were the only ones who knew my true identity. I couldn't allow the others to know, for the safety of themselves and the organization. But in time, when I begin to trust them more I will let them know who I truly am. For now, let's just let them believe I'm some crazed hyper kid who doesn't belong here.

-Familiar breath of my old lies, change the color in my eyes, soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by-

There was something about Namine, though. She seemed so captivating, and when she was happy it was almost impossible to look away from the radiant smile on her face. Everytime I'm around her, my heart rate increases dramatically and I can't speak. Could this be what everyone calls a crush, or could it be love? I was hoping it would the the latter of the two. Wait, what was I saying? I can't be in love with Namine. And if I were, I doubt she would hold the same feelings for me. All these thoughts ran though my head and I hadn't noticed Namine standing in front of me.

-Sorrow lives through this night, I take this piece of you and hope for all eternity, for just one second I felt whole as you flew right through me-

"Tobi-kun, are you alright? You're awfully quiet." She said and poked me in the shoulder. I had almost forgotten Deidara and Hidan were in the room before I answered. "Tobi is fine, why does Nami-chan ask?" I asked in a high pitched and childish voice. She just giggled and turned around to face the other two. "No reason. You were just being quiet." She said and walked to the couch. Namine sat down and began playing with a piece of her hair while humming a song. God, her voice was beautiful. But why did I have to fall in love with her? It's not that I didn't want to, though.

-Left alone with only reflections of the memory, to face the ugly girl who's smothering me, sitting closer than my pain-

I stood up and, remembering the other two who were in the room, I skipped over to Namine enthusiastically. I pulled her to her feet and grinned under my mask. "Nami-chan, come with Tobi to the lake!" I yelled, earning a grin from her. "Okay." She said and dragged me towards the door. I didn't think she would agree, but I was happy she did. So we raced to the lake. I let her win out of kindness, and smiled under my mask. "So, what do you need to talk about, Madara-kun?" She asked, crossing her arms behind her back. She knew me all to well, which was one of the reasons as to why I like her.

-He knew each tear before it came, soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by-

I sat down at the edges of the lake and patted the grass next to me, signaling for her to sit with me. "I wanted to talk to you about...my feelings." I finally said after a long silence. This seemed to shock her, because she didn't move or speak for at least 3 minutes. "Really?" She finally spoke and sat down next to me. I nodded in reply and sighed before removing my mask and setting it down in between us. "You see...I've been getting these strange feelings when I'm around a certain girl. I was hoping you would help me out?" I asked, not letting her know that this 'certain girl' was her.

-Sorrow lives through this night, I'll take this piece of you and hope for all eternity, for just one second I felt whole as you flew right through me-

Her face turned into one of pain and sorrow for just a second before she masked it with a huge smile. "Well, for one, what is this girl like?" She asked and pulled her knees to her chest. Namine gazed at the lake, as did I. "It's kind of hard to explain. She's always so kind, and gentle. Her voice is beautiful along with her looks, and she has the most radiant and shining smile you could ever imagine. It's almost impossible notto smile when she's around." I said and looked at her from the corner of my eye. That pained expression was back, and it was haunting me. Was it I who was making her this way, or was she thinking about her past once again?

-And we kissed each other one more time, and sing this lie that's half way mine, the sword is slicing through the question so I won't be fooled by his angel light-

"Hm, she seems like a beautiful girl." She said and looked at me with that same dazzling smile. "Why don't you try telling her that you like her?" She asked and let her legs fall flat before sitting indian style. "Well, I already did." I said and she looked at me. "What was her reaction?" She asked and I shook my head. "She didn't have much of a reaction." I said and she looked back at the lake. "Well...I don't have much advice to offer." She said and laid down on the grass. "So, who is this mystery girl? Someone from the village?" She asked and looked at me. I shook my head as a reply.

-Sorrow lives through this night, I'll take this piece of you and hope for all eternity, for just one second I felt whole as you flew right through me-

Namine looked at the sky and placed her hands behind her head. "Konan?" She asked and I scrunched my nose up in disgust. "Hell no." I replied which made her giggle. "Then who could it be?" She asked, looking at me. Before she had time to blink, I brushed my lips against hers swiftly. "It's you." I said and smirked at the look that crossed her face. "M-me?" She said and sat up, and I nodded. Namine smiled once again and leaned down, pressing her lips against mine. "Good, because there's this guy I like. And it just so happens that that guy is you, Madara-kun" She said and kissed me once again.

-Sorrow dies...-
