Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
”What's going on?” It's the middle of the night and he have just been awoken by hushed voices and silent steps.
“What's happening?”
The other turns around and looks at him. It takes some time before he answers.
“It's nothing. Just a emergency clan-meeting. You just go back to bed.”
He doesn't. Nobody thinks he knows that something is going on but he have heard the whispers and the rumors and the hidden meanings. He have witnessed the other's change.
He just doesn't know what it all means.
He just feels so alone and isolated right now.
In a now rare display of affection he's being pulled forward into strong arms. Had he been older he'd might have known, or at least suspected, that the embrace isn't solely for him. But he isn't that old yet so he just grabs a desperate hold of the other's shirt.
”Nii-san?” he whisper and his voice is trembling.
A barely audible sigh.
“It'll be all right. We'll be all right”
Mein Teil - Rammstein
It was a bit ironic, he'd have to admit. That he would once again find himself here, at this godforsaken place where nothing but mediocrity prospered.
Where dreams were crushed and premonitions came true.
But not for much longer.
It was time. And this time he'd have sufficient help. His lackeys. His beasts. The one he is sure is using him just as much as the other way around.
Madara turned to leave, casting one more glance at the village over his shoulder as he walked away.
His village.
Yes. He had co-funded it. Now he would co-destroy it.

It's friday! We all know what that means, don't we?
