[She tried keeping awake. She really did. Everything she could think of--raiding the store levels for anything with caffeine, pacing around the less-ruined levels of the ship, talking at Itachi, not really saying anything until her throat was sore and he was completely fed up with her ( Read more... )

[He doesn't need to think twice. He knows what is going on...]

[It seems to be the part of the cycle when he's just laughing, hasn't grabbed her yet. And still, she's terrified, even as her eyes dart to the sphere.]

I-Itachi...Aren't you de...you can't be...

I can't beat him, Itachi.

Anko, I am here. Look at me...

[He's up now and running. The last thing he wants is an Anko breaking down on him. What the hell was all of this staying and annoying him for anyway...?]

[She stares at the sphere for a desperate moment before the Orochimaru lands a blow to the side of her head that sends her sprawling]

Stupid, worthless girl, you think he can help you now?

[She scrambles up and away from him again.] They're not dead, they're not dead, no one's dead.

[ It's a pain Sasuke can understand. More people are seeing him dead than he expected. Odd, that. ]

That much power, and you're giving it to him.

[Well, she knew he only wanted you for your pretty pretty eyes. And this one, in particular, understood that. Didn't give in. He can maybe understand.

She's also leaning against the dilapidated wall outside her room, blood on her face, catching her breath.]

Not giving him anything, Uchiha. I can't- [she grist her teeth] I'm not strong enough to beat him, and he knows it.

Knowing limitations and being defeated by your own fears are different things, kunoichi. He knows nothing here that you do not know yourself. He has power over nothing here that you do not grant him.

[ But he does know something. It's not easy to take power away from your own fears.

In fact, Sasuke's not sure he can do it himself. ]

I have a name, Sasuke

I-- I can't. Not when my fears are so real. Not when they've been keeping me running for all these years.

[Well, she's tired, she was bound to say more than she meant to.]
