You cant play multiplayer in career mode, you cant do that for any system or on the PC. You can play online for a single game, you can play multiplayer tournaments.

I bought my PS2 copy in Thailand because here in Taiwan people aren't interested in Footy games. Problem is I don't have an English version of the manual. Is there anyway i can get details of PS2 controls. A copy of the manual would be great if there is a PDF or something. I've searched around and all I can find is PC controls - please help as there is a lot more than FIFA 2003.

Roster Updates [PS2]
I was wondering if there was some way outside of Career Mode to update rosters and transfer players between teams. The FIFA 2004 game is only current as of the Summer 2003 transfer window and not the Winter 2004 transfer window.
FIFA 2003 let you do this in team management, but the closest thing I found in 04 was "Player Swap," but I don't want to put Louis Saha on Man Utd and have to send Fulham a Man Utd player in return.
I don't have the online capability.

Monolayer graphene oxide samples China University of Science and Technology in Hefei Microscale Physical Sciences at National Laboratory researchers use atomic force tip induced local catalytic reduction to achieve a draw directly on a single-layer graphene oxide nano-transistor devices. Recently, the results, published online in the internationally renowned academic journal "Nature Communications". Graphene is only the thickness of a single atomic layer of graphite, than the currently used metal conductor having a better conductivity, heat dissipation, is also by far the worlds most thin, the greatest strength material, is expected in the field of microelectronics Alternative silicon become manufacturing hyperfine transistors ideal material. How graphene cropped or preparation of a variety of nano line, people dream to carbon as the main material of the premise of the integrated circuit, and also is one of the most challenging in the direction of the field of graphene research. In response to these challenges, the research group of Professor Wang Xiaoping Hefei the Microscale National Laboratory molecular scale quantum-control research team work closely with the research group of Professor Luo Yi directly prepared by the reduction reaction of the local area, conductive insulating graphene oxide nano line and build into a transistor and interconnect circuits. Researchers use a platinum coated on the surface of the tip of the atomic force localized catalysis under a hydrogen atmosphere, the graphene oxide was heated to 100 degrees Celsius to prepare a minimum width is only 20 nanometers the reduction of graphene strip, its conductivity greater than 104 Siemens / m, 100 times more than graphene oxide. By theoretical calculations, they reveal the microscopic mechanism of the reduction reaction of this local area. Using this approach, they have successfully demonstrated a nano interconnection circuits and field-effect transistor device, its performance was superior to the currently used conductive polymers and amorphous silicon FET devices. Experts point out that the technology can be used to draw nanocircuits directly, controllable circuit line width, the preparation conditions, and can be seamlessly compatible with existing microelectronics processing technology, is expected to promote the graphene nanodevices circuit with integrated ultimately achieve and application.F-20 prototype test flight LONDON, December 17: The United States Air Force Magazine 12 of 2012 published in the magazines editor in chief John · A · Winter Parks article "Here Comes Adversary Stealth". John · A · Winter Park, China and Russia have the test flight of the stealth fighter the stealth capability Shangju doubt, and in many places not yet reached less than the United States defined the standard of the fifth-generation fighter, but they have monopoly to the United States more than 30 years of stealth The advantage of the aircraft poses a challenge. For Russias T-50, the U.S. aviation experts pointed out that the T-50 engine blades may become a big radar reflector - no way to completely invisible from the front of the probe. Its engine vents does not seem to consider the basic low observability design - not typical "zig-zag" characteristics of the U.S. stealth fighter. And in addition to continue to wait for the T-50, Russia, was kind enough to Sukhoi Company signed an agreement to buy 48 Su-35 - Su-27 "Flanker" series Ultimate Improved - as the equipment before the transition of new fighters. John · A · Winter Park pointed out, Chinas J-20 in a shape similar to the F-22, albeit similar to the forward fuselage. Inlet seems to draw on the F-35,

. Wing and tail completely different with other stealth fighter engine vents also seems not to reduce the radar cross-section and a special design, even though it can see the zigzag structure. It is to reduce the radar cross-section forward. Given the length of the J-20 and the position of the center of gravity, it does not seem to be used as a flexible fighter. This big, long aircraft may be designed as a stealth attack aircraft, but not for close combat. Some people think that the J-20 is actually a stealth attack platform, the design goal is to its stealth capability sufficient to guarantee close to the target, rapid withdrawal After the missile launch. These properties will mean that the J-20 will play the role of anti-base or anti-ship. This is also logical, because the American air operations in the Asia - Pacific theater must rely on aircraft carriers and forward bases. In addition, Chinas military doctrine stressed the weakening U.S. advantage early in the conflict - such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, as well as forward bases. Arms trade show, CAC Group show model J-20 weapons bay opens, exposing the air-to-air missile model, which is almost the same with the F-22. If this model is accurate, this means that J-20 will also perform the interception task may attack fleet attacking salvo of missiles, or as a killer for the E-3 AWACS, large the ISR platform or aerial refueling tanker. Information from China, J-20 will form the initial fighting in 2018. J-20 first flight in January 2011, coinciding with the then U.S. Defense Secretary Robert - Gates to visit China in time coincidence. September 2012, the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Group J-31 (also sometimes referred to as J-21 or F-60) flight test photos appear on the network, just U.S. Defense Secretary Lyon-E-Panetta visit to China a few days ago. View of Gates and the story of J-20, which seems to be out pass information - China dedicated aviation enterprises have sufficient resources, both research and development of two or more of the stealth fighter, it will challenge in this area United States. All non-stealth aircraft, J-31 and F-22 in the shape most similar. In addition, the position of the center of gravity of the J-31 obviously means excellent maneuverability - this is another important symbol of the F-22. In fact, a photo appeared in the September 2011 network it with the F-22 is very similar to the information has been leaked. From the front, however, no separation board of J-31 supersonic air intake is obviously modeled on the F-35. Existing before, as the resolution of the photo is not enough to judge whether the J-31 engine fan blades hidden in the internal body, like the F-22, F-35 and B-2. J-31 engine vents few seem to consider the the invisible shape or stealth design. J-31s landing gear is very strong. This is similar to the U.S. Navys legendary F-14 "Tomcat", characterized by using a two-wheeled nose gear. Considering these characteristics, which means that J-31 naval version may have the ability to take off and land on an aircraft carrier,

. But with the U.S. Navys carrier-based aircraft, the J-31 was unable to folding wing. Chinas stealth fighter, the U.S. Pacific Air Force Commander Herbert J. Carlisle will be said, "First progress has been made to improve the capacity and quality", which means that the U.S. Air Force stealth technology in the past three decades The advantage will not become a future advantage. At the same time, he also said, "in the stealth capability, China lagged behind us ...... but they are being developed and get better, of course we can not stay in the past," Carlisle said, "We will have to become better "Most of the time, U.S. military officials are dismissive of these new fighters, claimed to have a the stealth characteristic appearance of the design from the real low detectability long distance. This is inevitable. With the actual value of stealth performance need to set the contents of a wide range of techniques, tactics, training and skills. F-22 combat effectiveness from design sketch to spend 20 years, and during this period the "Raptor" to withstand a lot of costly setbacks. Similarly, the new F-35 also takes a lot of time. To go through a lot of aspects of the pilot phase of the early stealth systems,

Despite its point-and-shoot 'palmcording' orientation, the TG3 still offers a few useful manual features for the more discerning videomaker. But it doesn't have an accessory shoe or minijacks for attaching an external microphone or headphones for checking audio levels, none of which is a surprise in such a small camcorder. Manual focusing can only be performed via the touch-sensitive screen, either using a slider or the spot focus system. This involves touching the point on the screen you wish to be in focus.
Exposure control offers similar options, with a slider or spot function. But there's no direct relation between exposure setting and iris F-stops, and no control whatsoever over shutter speed. For a more automated approach, the usual array of Scene modes are also available, including Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Candle, Sunrise & Sunset, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Beach, and Snow. Other than that, you can choose between two white balance presets, for indoors and outdoors, alongside auto and manual modes. The Colour Slow Shutter mode drops the shutter speed as low as necessary to pick up a properly exposed image.
The TG3 also has three microphones built in, two facing forwards and one backwards. This enables it to pick up directional sound and mix it to 5.1 surround, recording to Dolby Digital. Sony's Face Detection system is built in, too. This recognises human faces, bordered by a square, and uses these as an exposure reference. So faces shot against a bright background will be properly exposed. We found it did its job fairly competently, although fast-moving subjects go in and out of detection, making exposure vary slightly. The TG3 also offers the option to shoot in x.v.Color, although you will need a compatible TV to see the results.
I recently sold my HV20 and brought one of these TG3s. I have to say it is excellent and for the size its really remarkable. Footage taken between the HV20 and TG3 side by side shows very little difference and having this so portable is just a win win situation for me. Highly recommended!
I need help ; Bought the TG3 ,loving it but am having difficulties geting the footage to my macbook .have filmed in SD . does anyone have any ideas.. I looked at the disc and my computer doesn't want to install software ..
Q. can I just hook up TG3 to my computer and download to imovies ??
any ideas
many thanks

By Vyckie "Just smile, okay?" ~ this picture of me with Warren was taken two years ago today ~ on our 18th wedding anniversary, just before church. During the service that Sunday morning, I surprised everyone by going to the front of the church and reading aloud the following letter:On August 5, 1989, Warren and I pledged our love and our lives solely to one another in a small church in Dennison, Iowa. Just before the wedding, a tornado went through town and we couldn't help but wonder if that upheaval in the natural world might be suggestive of the commotion going on in another place.

I've added my comments at the end of the article ...THEY SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED by vyckie bennettIt sure seems to me that a high percentage of Quiver-minded families are blessed with twins (and triplets).Of course, the mere fact that we're having more pregnancies and many QF mothers are older (two of the "risk factors" for multiples) can partially account for this phenomenon - but I think there's more to the story.Could it be that God has a fantastic work in store and He's placing His arrows in the quivers of His sharpest marksmen?

This photo of my lovely children was taken on Mother's Day ~ 2005. Here's another article that I wrote back when I was "quivering."

Being Human may be marketed as your average supernatural show featuring vampires to werewolves, but the plot actually runs much deeper than that. Originally, the series was about an agoraphobe, a sex addict, and a man with rage issues living together and trying to conduct normal lives in society. During the developmental stages, though, creator Toby Whithouse saw the very abstract link he could make between those conditions and supernatural beings.
With that in mind, the agoraphobe character turned into a ghost, the sex addict into a vampire, and the man with rage issues became a werewolf. The three remained roommates, and the show still followed their efforts to blend into society despite their now very supernatural afflictions. How's that for a philosophy professor's wet dream?
Being Human has been one of BBC's more successful programs, airing for five impressive seasons.

A monster day going to Bergen
So after breakfast we set off on the relatively short jaunt to Bergen - only about 200 miles - if you use the highways, we as ever took the scenic route. First a drive, then a ferry (where I met some Portuguese scout leaders) I shouted oh scouts as they were wearing sweatshirts and we conversed about scouts or as it is pronounced in Portuguese scooter. After the ferry we ended up on some mountain roads with some serious ...
Trollvegan to forde - A chewy ol' day
So after our sleep we woke up at 6am, the windows had blown open and it was blowing a gale. Not a great start to the day. The wind was blowing at 15 mph and the sky was black. Looks like the predicted storm had arrived. Not a great idea then to ride to one of the highest point in Norway though loads of hairpin bends. Edwin decided to go for it and he set off with Lorraine. Saying he may as well set off ...
It was a bit of a cloudy day but we had some decent sights. We took the mountain pass from Aurland - one of the scenic routes we are following - and headed north. We made our way to Sogndal, the first major town we've hit in a few days, then continued West to explore the Gaularfjellet scenic routes. Eventually we made our way up to Fōrde where we had a rainy ...

Multimedia Player Malaysia: How to Find the One that Works for You
- Compatibility with Home Network
- Peripherals
- Format Friendly
- How Much Data Can It Store?
- User Interface
Since its popularity, there's been tons of multimedia players that came to be, offering almost the same features that a standard one has, mostly varying when it comes to compatibility and quality. Though it's true that any multimedia player is already sufficient enough to provide your needs for rich multimedia experience, it is however a cost effective feat to take note of features that you might probably need before buying one. Since multimedia players are not a cheap buy, it is a wise move to know specification you might need along the way.
Compatibility with Home Network
Choosing the best multimedia player that's a tailor fit to your home network will define how you'll be able to maximize its functions. If your home is plainly wireless ready, it's going to be tough to purchase one that's only partially functional without LAN or better known as wired network. Apparently, multimedia players today can now utilize the internet for sharing and streaming purposes, which greatly calls the need for your home network.
Connection to monitors is the most important aspect among the others. For a richer viewing experience, buy one that supports HDMI connectivity, especially if you're housing a large screen monitor or TV. On top of that, look for the SPDIF protocol, an input that churns the highest audio quality for your speakers or maybe surround system.
Format Friendly
Multimedia files come in various formats, a video alone has more than 10. To get the most out of your money, find one that has could play videos with the latest formats. Don't settle for one that's only limited to a few, you need one that could support a wide range to guarantee that you're able to play even videos that are taken using the latest technologies.
How Much Data Can It Store?
Its built in storage space is a very critical component of a multimedia player. For some who prefer storing their movies and music in the media player, this one proves to be very vital. It will determine the number of movies or music that could be stored in the media player. Though, it wouldn't really be an issue for most since all multimedia players are equipped with USB ports, allowing users to connect any storage devices with ease. But if you want everything to be in a single device such as your media player, better put this into consideration. If you're a sucker for storage space, you should buy one that's equipped with Terabytes worth of memory.
User Interface
.There's a wide array of multimedia players today that are offered by different brands. Apple has their own in a form of a smart TV, meanwhile there are devices that run on Android OS. Each Interface provides not just streaming functionality, but a full multimedia features. On the other hand, there are those that are meant to be just smart tv boxes. This aspect all comes down to your preference, so choose one that will float your boat.
Isn't it amazing that today, we are now granted the capability to store, review, and play audio or video files with just a single compact device, whenever we want. Gone are the days when it would require separate devices in order to do so. Thanks to Multimedia Players today, it's never been this easy to make your own home entertainment theater.

Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center-NY, New York, NY
INTRODUCTION: Mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung was first described in 1986. It is a rare disease and the prevalence remains unknown. The characteristic clinical and radiographic features are a combination of small nodules and multiple bilateral thin-walled cystic lesions.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old African American female presented for suspected sacral osteomyelitis. Her medical history was significant for a hysterectomy, and transverse myelitis of 8 years. Her medications included baclofen and amitriptyline. She denied ever smoking, illicit drug use, or alcohol abuse. She was born in New York City and worked as a seamstress. She denied any cough, sputum, or hemoptysis, and never had chest pain, dyspnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or orthopnea. On physical exam she was not in acute respiratory distress. Her vital signs were significant for a temperature of 102.4° F; her oxygen saturation was 98% on room air. She had temporal wasting. There were clear breath sounds bilaterally. She was noted to have a stage IV sacral decubitus with a purulent exudate. The rest of her physical exam was unremarkable. Laboratory data revealed a normal white blood cell count and differential. Serum chemistry was unremarkable. Chest radiograph showed multiple to innumerable thin-walled cystic structures replacing the mid and lower lung zones bilaterally. A few nodular densities were identified in the upper lobes bilaterally. This prompted a CT chest which revealed numerous bilateral noncalcified subpleural nodules 0.5 centimeters, and thin-walled bilateral lung cysts with various sizes ranging from 2-7 centimeters in diameter. She could not recall when she had her last chest radiograph and was never told she had an abnormal film.
DISCUSSIONS: The differential diagnosis for cystic lung disease includes lymphangiomyomatosis, Langerhan's histiocytosis, mesenchymal cystic hamartoma, cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchogenic cyst, placental transmogrification, metastatic endometrial stromal sarcoma, cystic bronchiectasis, and bullous emphysema. The best test to confirm a diagnosis is a lung biopsy, however our patient was unstable and died from septic shock secondary to osteomyelitis. Nonetheless, our working diagnosis was mesenchymal cystic hamartoma based on the classic radiographic findings. In mesenchymal cystic hamartoma there is a propagation of new nodules and enlargement of cysts in the absence of fever, weight loss, cough, sputum production, and severe dyspnea. In other words the clinical course is indolent. The nodules are thought to occur first and when they reach 0.5 to 1 centimeter, small cysts form. During the natural history of the disease, transformation of a nodule into a cyst may be due to destruction of the structural integrity of the walls of bronchioles or alveolar ducts by the proliferating cells. The nodules and cysts increase very slowly over a period of many years and represent different stages of the disease. New nodules continue to appear when the cysts are already developed. The cysts become lined with normal or metaplastic bronchiolar epithelium. Bronchial, phrenic, or intercostal arteries supply the cysts and become hypertrophied as the cysts enlarge and destroy the normal architecture of the lung. Therefore, serious complications of this disease include pulmonary hemorrhage into a cyst from a large systemic artery, pneumothorax or hemothorax, and malignant transformation. Since the disease has a benign course in most patients, resection of asymptomatic nodules and cysts are not routinely recommended. A confirmatory biopsy is needed to rule out metastatic endometrial stromal carcinoma, however our patient had a hysterectomy.
CONCLUSION: Mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung is thought to be a low-grade sarcoma of the lung. This unusual entity is often diagnosed as an incidental finding on chest radiograph and may have a potentially fatal complication. Therefore, patients should be aware of their diagnosis, and be prepared to contact a physician immediately in case they experience hemoptysis.

text: The Arsenal of Democracy: FDR, Detroit, and an Epic Quest to Arm an America at War By A. J. Baime 2014 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 0547719280 | EPUB | 3 MB A New York Times Bestseller A dramatic, intimate narrative of how Ford Motor Company went from making automobiles to producing the airplanes that would mean the difference between winning and losing World War II. In 1941, as Hitler's threat loomed ever larger, President Roosevelt realized he needed weaponry to fight the Nazis-most important, airplanes-and he needed them fast. So he turned to Detroit and the auto industry for help. The Arsenal of Democracy tells the incredible story of how Detroit answered the call, centering on Henry Ford and his tortured son Edsel, who, when asked if they could deliver 50,000 airplanes, made an outrageous claim: Ford Motor Company would erect a plant that could yield a "bomber an hour." Critics scoffed: Ford didn't make planes; they made simple, affordable cars. But bucking his father's resistance, Edsel charged ahead. Ford would apply assembly-line production to the American military's largest, fastest, most destructive bomber; they would build a plant vast in size and ambition on a Description of farmland and call it Willow Run; they would bring in tens of thousands of workers from across the country, transforming Detroit, almost overnight, from Motor City to the "great arsenal of democracy." And eventually they would help the Allies win the war. Drawing on exhaustive research from the Ford Archives, the National Archives, and the FDR Library, A. J. Baime has crafted an enthralling, character-driven narrative of American innovation that has never been fully told, leaving readers with a vivid new portrait of America-and Detroit-during the war.

Charlene Soraia Santaniello Jones stood out from the pantheon of budding female singer-songwriters that emerged in the late 00s. With her DIY attitude, intimate guitar technique and highly personal lyrics of real life neurosis, she mined a very different seam to her peers. Raised near Crystal Palace in South London, Soraia acquired a taste for music at a young age after the toddler picked up her dad's guitar and promptly broke its strings. She was given her own guitar aged five and slowly taught herself to play along to her dad's record collection, chiefly via David Bowie's Space Oddity and Diamond Dogs and the progressive rock of Pink Floyd and King Crimson. To this day David Gilmour and Robert Fripp remain her favourite guitarists.
In 2004 she was accepted into the BRIT school alongside future stars Adele and Kate Nash. While she studied performance, she also developed a fondness for the technical side of recording, the self-dubbed 'geek with technique' even customising a 1973 Japanese Gibson 335 guitar to suit her stage needs. As her writing matured she realised she had synaesthesia, a neurological condition in which the brain causes two or more senses to combine. In her case sounds are experienced as colours, a condition that has also affected fellow musicians including Tori Amos, Pharrell Williams and Mary J. Blige. From 2006 to 2009 Soraia began to establish herself as non-stereotypical performer, whether playing at open mic nights at The Studio in Bromley or with the rock band Retrospect, who she released the EP Long Hair, Short Memories with. Later on she also played guitar in psychedelic blues outfit Electriq Mistress. Soraia's own songs came bubbling to the surface over a series of self-financed and stripped-down EPs including Lemonade (2006), Postcards From iO and Daffodils & Other Idylls (both 2008), plus One Of The Sun (2009). Issued in now collectible batches of 1,000 copies, each one printed and assembled by the part Italian, part Indian singer in her bedroom, they demonstrated her ability to tell captivating stories within the narrow confines of the pop song.
Soraia started to gravitate to the next level in 2010 when she was signed to independent label Peacefrog, also home to Nouvelle Vague and José González. In 2011 her cover of The Calling's soft rock anthem 'Wherever You Will Go' was licensed for use in a Twining's tea TV commercial. Released as a single in late September, the song entered the UK charts at number 20 and eventually soared to number three. It was tacked onto the end of her mostly melancholic debut Moonchild, a set rendered with the help of producer Paul Stacey that plundered and reworked several tracks from her early EPs. Anyone expecting several facsimiles of her hit single were shaken out of that notion by the high-pitched wail that kick-started its evocative six-minute opener 'When We Were Five', awash with trippy guitars and shimmering melodies. Yet at its core were the formative songs she penned in her bedroom on her beloved guitar. From the adept acoustic fingerpicking of 'Daffodils' and 'Wishing (You) Well' to the naked confessional of 'Rowing', Soraia proved she was capable of scoring direct hits against an unreliable suitor, raging: 'But if I could/I would tell my soul to cease this pain/And if I could/I would set fire to your field/To forget your face'. Elsewhere the infectious 'Bipolar' reflected the paradoxical feelings of joy and despondency that haunt its sufferers. It was no away day in someone else's misery either, as Soraia wrote it after being diagnosed with a less severe form of the disease, Cyclothymia. It brought even more resonance to the lyrics: 'I think I'll have a baby/With a man who beats me/Who abuses and confuses me/And also threatens to kill me'. A potent and intimate statement from a young artist unafraid to shine a harsh light on her own neuroses, the album garnered critical acclaim and ranked high on many critics' end-of-year lists.
While Soraia's debut was so introspective that its author mumbled her way through some of its most personal lyrics, 2014's follow-up Love Is The Law found her working with a stellar array of co-writers to create a collection of bittersweet but beautifully nuanced love songs. Some of its most touching moments were penned alongside Soraia's former boyfriend, shaggy-haired Winchester singer-songwriter Jon Allen. These included the album's first lead single, the indelible heartbreak ballad of 'Ghost' that married her acoustic picking skills with teaming strings. More startling still was the wider range of her voice as she lashed out: 'You don't feel my pain/You don't see my sorrow/And the thing that hurts the most is I'm just a ghost'. Another effort written with Allen, 'The Space Between Us', traced how distant the pair had become before their break-up, while 'Standing Stone' managed to strike a more optimistic note. Among the album's other collaborators were The Verve's producer Chris Potter and songwriter Justin Parker, best known as the co-writer of Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games', who assisted on the set's stark but effective title track, Soraia's first piano ballad. Elsewhere she penned typically individual efforts such as 'Halo' with craftsman to the stars EG White and 'The Beast' with Robbie Williams' old co-writer Guy Chambers.

What if ...the sunMature
What would happen if the sn stopped shining?
What if............The Sun
by Eleasah McIntyre
Evey night the sun goes down. Every morning the sun comes up. But what if one morning the sun did not come up. What would happen that morning. What would go through the minds of the people that woke up to darkness. I know what happened. I was there. I woke up in darkness. I lived through that day when darkness covered the whole Earth. There was no light, no power, no heat. Nothing to stop evil.
It was not that long ago. I was 18 years old. I was a different child that had almost no friends but knew everyone. Then one night I had a dream. A dream that was more like a nightmare. I saw a shape cover the sun. It looked like a small cloud in the center of a bright light. But then it started to grow. It grew hands and fingers that grabbed the sun and pulled it into darkness.
"Get out of bed! You will be late for school!" yelled my mom that morning. The sun was shinning and i had a weird feeling that things were going to change. She handed me my lunch as i headed out the door. When i got to school i met my girlfriend AJ at her bus stop. We walked down the hall way together and she asked me what was wrong.
"You look off today"
"I'm fine."
"Bull shit. What's wrong?"
"I had a weird dream last night."
"What was it about?"
"Interesting...what about darkness"
"I had a dream about the sun being pulled into darkness by some evil being."
"That is so weird!"
"Ya think"
Ring Ring Ring
I ran down the hallway because i was late for class, again. I stormed into Mr. Pertinate's class. He asked me why i was late. I told him that my bus was late. That was a lie of course because i walked to school. I sat in that class for about an hour. Then the bell rang. I walked into the hallway and made my past the girls bathroom. AJ was standing by my locker waiting for me. We stood at my locker till the hallway emptied. Then we were alone together.
She grabbed my shirt and pulled me into the janitor's closet. The door closed. We were standing in darkness. I felt her hands searching for my face. They were warm and soft. Slowly move up my body towards my neck. Her middle finger touched my lip. She rushed forward. Her lips hit mine with so much force and passion my back hit the wall. I felt her tongue inside my mouth. It was warm and sweet. My body was starting to tingle with passion. A part of me wanted to let it out. Then i let the animal inside me go. I grabbed her skirt and lifted up so that i could feel her underwear. She pulled me closer.
I pulled her underweardown. AJ grabbed my hand. Then pulled my head closer to her mouth. I relaxed my hand so that she would put it where she wanted it. My hand went past her bellybutton and even past her naval.
"I want you inside of me" she whispered. I did what she asked. She lost her breath for a second the started to kiss me again. I forced my hand farther inside of her. I could tell she liked it by the way she pulled up my shirt and started to nibble on my breast.
Three hours later. We were lying on the floor of the janitor's closet when the lunch bell rang. My eyes were used to the dark and i looked at AJ. She looked at me. I kissed her head, her cheek, her chest and moved my way down her body.
"Do you think your dream will come true?"I stopped what i was doing and look up into her eyes.
"I really hope this one does not come true."
"Lizzie, all of your dreams come true."
"I know. I just hope this one doesn't"
"I love you."
"I know."
"Owch! No i love you back!" AJ giggled.
"Oh I am sorry! I love you too."
I stood up and started to put my clothes back on, when she asked where i was going. I said to my planning class. She nodded. I walked into my planing class early. My teacher was going to show my class a movie that day. She wanted me to help her setup the TV. While setting up the TV i asked her what we were watching. She said she didnt know the name of the movie but she said it was about vampires. When the movie started i fell asleep.
"Honey, the bell went 10 minutes ago." It was AJ. She was standing over me with her hand on my shoulder. I stood up and grabbed my bag.
"Hury! We will be late for the party."
"What time does the party start?" I asked.
"What time is it now?"
We ran out the door of the school and towards my car. It was (My girlfriend's sister) TD's birthday party. I put my foot on the gas and sped out of the school parking lot. My 1997 camaro stopped at a red light. My ex-boyfriend Tyrel pulled up beside me.
"Lets see how fast that baby can go!" he yelled over my music.
"500 bucks says that i can bet you to the party!" i yelled back. I looked at AJ and she was shaking her head.
"Your on!" laughted Tyrel
I reved my engine. Then the lights changed. I felt the car hurdle forward. I pushed the pedal to the floor. I looked out my window and saw Tyrel's mustang falling behind. I turned my music up, so that i could feel the beat through the floor. I saw TD's house and flew into the drive way. I got out of my car and walked towards the mastang. Tyrel rolled his window down and handed $500 dollars out of the window.
"Thank you." I taunted.
"That wont happen again!" he said.
I was holding AJ's hand when i walked into the house. I walked up to TD. I gave her a hug and wished her happy birthday. She thanked me and continued making out with her boyfriend Evan. AJ and I had a few to many drinks. AJ was passed out on the couch and I met another rival.
"Yo, hoe lets see how much you can handle!" A drunk black kid yelled.
"Fine. The person that can drink the most shots gets $500" I replied with a grin on my face.
There were 20 shot glasses infont of me and another 20 infront of the black kid. TD looked at me and nodded her head the said go. I drank 10 shots with no problems. I was curious about how well the other kid was doing. He was having a hard time with his 6th shot. I deisided to finish off my 20 then help him with his. After about 3 minutes i heard a clunk on the floor. I looked at the bloob that was on the floor. He just lost $500. I found his walet. Sure enough he had $500. I left a note in it that said "YOU LOST!! - Lizzie" I found my girlfriend where i left her (on the couch). I picked her up and took her out to my car. I drove her home. By the time we got to her house she had woken up. But she was drunk. She kept inviting me inside.
"Come on." she taunted
"Na, i am tired"
"Pweeze" she gave me the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine" i sighed.
She ran inside before i even turned off the car. I had no idea what she was doing. When i walked inside the house i saw a trail of clothing leading to the bedroom. I rolled my eyes. I walked into the bedroom grabbed AJ by the bra. Pulled her toward me. I kissed her and said good night. She passed out in my arms. I put her in bed and covered her in the blankets, so that she would not get cold. I left the bedroom light on. I put a note by the light switch that read:
Hey Babe,
Do not turn off your light ever. If you want to know why call my cell phone. It has to do with my dream. When you wake up there will be no light other then then light that is in your room. Stay away from the shadows. The sun will not come out tommorow. It will say hidden behind the figure of darkness. Do not go any where that has a shadow or a dark spot. I am the only one that can save anyone. If you see a figure moving towards your light call my cell quickly. From the time you first see the hand to the time you will be consumed by darkness is less then five minutes.
I love you and i dont want anything to happen to you.
* * *
Who is max? I am max. My real name is Lizzie. Max is who i am in darkness. I am know to hell as the killer. I am know to humans as a saviour. I am know to heaven as a beast. I am the only one of my kind. I am human but i am not a moral or an immoral. I age and die. But i can only die from old age. Not from a sword or a bullet. I can not be killed by a spirit or a force. I can not be killed. I can walk into hell and say hi to the devil. I can talk to him while he is shaking in his boots. I can stand infront of god and make him fall to his knees along with all of heaven. I am Max.
* * *
When i got home i went to bed with my leather jacket on. I slept a deep sleep. Then i awoke, to darkness. I knew it was the morning because my alarm clock read 9:00 am. I got up and changed into some clean clothes. I was wearing all black. I had a cross around my neck and a picture of Jesus in my pocket. I put my leather jacket back on and walked out into the darkness. I heard the demons and i felt them touch me. Every time they came near they would scream in pain and terror, then brust into flame. I knew where i was going and i also knew i had to be fast. So i jogged down the street towards where i had to go.
My cell started to ring. The caller ID read: AJ
"Are you ok?" i said when i anwered the phone.
"No! I can see that black hand crawing up the wall! I am scared."
"i need you to stay on the phone i will be there in a second."
I started to run. I ran, so fast that all you saw behind me was thousands of demons burning. When i got to AJ's house i burst into the door and i saw the body of my girlfriend. She was consumed by darkness. I nelt down and kissed her forhead. It was cold and black but it seemed to burn my lips. I felt the tears rolling down my face.
"max" There was a tounting voice.
"what?" I slowly turned around.
"she is mine now." It was him.
"that is what you think, Satan" I looked him in the eyes. They were full or revenge and fear.
"that is what i know because you have no way to stop me."
"really" I said slyly.
"Your know what, i think i will be nice. You have a choice...you can save her or you can stop the world from dying by giving me your blood as a promise that you would stay at home for the rest of your life."
"and if i dont choose,"
"she will be my wife and the human race will be my dinner" I grabbed him by the head (my judgment clouded by anger.
"That is what you think, ass hole" And with that sentence i alowed my soul to take over. I was shining and all you could see was the darkness that was the devil and the body of my girlfiend. The devil was screaming. "You will be punished for this." I said deeply.
With AJ's body across my shoulders i ran to the graveyard. I could feel the ground shaking under my feet. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ordered the gates of hell to open.
I knew that the devil had my AJ down there i just had to find her. The devil thinks that he is so smart by hiding her where he lives. I dont think so. I will find her.
The gates of hell opened that the order. Well acutall they fell and crumbled into a thousand pieces. I put AJ's body down because it could not withstand the fires of hell. I covered it with the picture of jesus i had in my pocket so that it would be safe. Then I walked into the fire. I saw what looked a little bit like Satan but wasn't him. As i got closer i reallized it was my old friend Crusifer. He was almost as tall as Satan. I walked up and asked him politely where the girl was. He wasnt stupid. I asked him again but that time i raised my voice a little. I still got no answer but i noticed that he started to tremble. So i asked him one last time. I asked him so loudly that the ground began to shake and Crusifer fell to his knees.
"Do you want to take a chance?" I asked softly after he fell.
"no miss"
"Good then tell me where she is"
"my master is keeping her in his chamber.........please dont hurt me"
"i will not hurt you as long as i can get in that room"
"thank you miss. You should have no trouble getting in the chamber. He doesnt keep it locked."
"Thank you Crusifer" I said kindly.
I knew where Satan's chamber was because i had been there before. When i got to the door i tried to open it and to my surprise it was unlocked. Then i saw her. The love of my life was tied to his bed with flaming chains. She was naked and vanerable. I ran to the bed and quickly broke that chains. She grabbed my head and kissed me. It wasnt the first time i had kissed a spirit. After the reunion i lead her out of hell and i brought her to the place where i had laid her body. She looked at it.
"Am I dead?"
"I guess you are in a sense"
"Does that mean that i cant be with you?"
"No. I can bring you back." I looked at her and smilled. "ly down on top of the body" She did as she was told. As soon as she did that her body and her spirit murged into one. When she got up she was mortal and human.
I had saved the one that i love but now i had to save the rest of the world. I sat down to think about how i could save the world from Satan and give it back to God. I sat there starring at AJ. Then it dawned on me. That i come up with my greatest ideas while sleeping or while i am with my girl. Well it was definatly not the time to do either. I couldnt sleep because i would sleep for 6 hours and that would be way to long. By that time the world would be gone. There was only one other option but i was not in the mood.
"hmmmm" i looked up to see AJ taunting me with her body.
"honey, I .....missed you" i was silent as she started walking toward me. "I know what you want."
"And what would that be?" I whispered.
"me" she whispered in my ear.
She was now on my lap and all i could think about was her body. I felt her shift her body till it was completely on top of my crotch. I felt my heart start to race. I didnt move i didnt even breath. I just wanted to see what she was going to do next. I watched her hands reach for the zipper of my jacket.
"GOD!!!" i exclaimed. I had gotten the idea i had been looking for.
* * *
That was it, that was the answer all the problems. God was always the answer. I coulnt believe that i didnt come up with it sooner. I didnt know how i was going to get to heaven. The only thing that i could do was ask God to let me in so that i could save man kind and everything that her created on earth. And i did just that. At first nothing happened then a bright light apeared in the sky. I felt myself being lifted in the air and toward the light. Then i passed out.
When i woke up i was standing infront of God. For most people they would pass out at the sight of God. But this was not my first time infront of him. I just bowed and said i need your help. He understood what i meant.
* * *
Earth was burning. Flames and molten rock quickly burned everything one land. The animals and the people were hinding in the oceans. There were a few boats and millions of people. I my heart froze. I saw mothers throwing their children in the boats. Then the children would watch their mothers grow tired and drown.
Then there was an explotion. The earth was gone. For the first time in my life i felt tears rolling down my face. My whole world was gone. I was truely the last human. At least for a little while. I look at God and he nodded. I closed my eyes and counted to seven.

We were there together in the the janitors closet and she was still in my arms. I love her. AJ and i are going to be together forever. I can never forget that morning when the sun did not come up, niether can anyone else.
For Now

"What are you doing out so late?"
Those footsteps, ones these city streets have been aching for.
"This is the only road that leads into Konoha."
He smirked at the figure curled up on the bench.
"Is that why you're here? To repeat conversations we've already had with me?"
The corner of her mouth tucked up wistfully. "But you're the one who remembered."
Years ago she would have been able to read chagrin in the slight tightening of his lips, the barest crinkle of his eyes. Now, his expression was passive, a blank mask of skin. Sasuke sometimes wondered if the muscles of his face were atrophied, after such a long period of neglect. If he had the capability to smile anymore. If he even had the right.
She didn't offer him comfort he would've denied wanting, or declarations of love he wouldn't have thought he needed. Things had changed, Sasuke knew. She had changed.
"I was surprised when Naruto gave you a choice. He was the one who was the strongest supporter for bringing you back by force."
"Naruto's always been too soft for his own good..."
Naruto coming and retrieving him from Orochimaru- he didn't remember it. He was so far into the possession he had lost any self-awareness. And yet, he still had suspected, still had the presence of mind to realize before it was overrun with the curse seal, that maybe Orochimaru's way was wrong.
Maybe Sakura had been right all this time- this wasn't the way to gain strength.
He came to later, beaten up and drained.
"Orochimaru is dead. You are released from the curse-seal." Naruto's intonement was flat, joyless. It was strange, even with the history between them, to see him so cold.
"I heard a girl screaming." Sasuke clutched his head, eyes screwed up into tiny black crescents. Whether it was to suppress the memory or relive it, Naruto didn't know.
"That was Sakura. You attacked her."
The blood drained from the face of the Uchiha survivor. Tense moments of silence ticked by.
"Did I?"
"No. You stopped before the killing blow. She was returned to Konoha to heal."
The relief in Sasuke's stomach made him want to vomit. Neither boy talked after that.
It was just Nartuo with him up until the city limits. He turned to him then, and released him of the bonds he had woken up in.
"Sasuke. After all this time..." He trailed off, deciding to start a different way. "I tried hard to save you. I watched people you never even spoke to almost die for your sake...even at your hands."
The only indication Sasuke gave of hearing Naruto was the minute lowering of his head. It was enough though, from a boy who once never acknowledged anyone.
Naruto swallowed. "I watched you drive that kunai towards Sakura's heart, and even though I promised her I'd bring you back, I knew I'd kill you- my teammate, the closest thing I've had to a brother." Here he broke, and here he ruminated, before the hard line of his mouth softened into a smile. "But then you stopped."
Black met blue. Naruto's eyes tearing was Sasuke's only warning before the smaller boy embraced him.
"I understood then. And I forgive you."
Sasuke was impassive in his arms, but the peculiar stinging in his eyes, and that god-awful vulnerability only his teammates could expose kept his arms at his side. He just couldn't bring himself to push Naruto away. The blond ninja released him, unashamed of the tears that had made tracks down his whisker-tattooed cheeks.
"I can't force you to return if it's not what you want. I understand that now. So I leave you here with a choice. But think…think about the sacrifices we made for you. Not out of duty, or fear, but love and loyalty."
True to his nature, Sasuke declined to respond. He knew he was in the wrong, had known it the second he turned his back on his home, but how could he take it back now? He had been different, a little darker, a little bit worse than the rest of his team. He chose to embrace that at all costs.
But it hadn't been worth it.
How do you take back such a betrayal?
"You once told me you never wanted another precious person to die in front of your eyes." Naruto was still trying to reach him.
Sasuke could spare him a nod.
It surprised the black-eyed boy that he still remembered the incident Naruto was speaking of. Gaara had been a monster, and he had been helpless to stop him. Naruto had backed them up though, and pulled them through. Sakura didn't die in the jaws of sand he thought would crush her.
Naruto let his gaze settle ahead of him, vague and unfocused. "She tries so hard to smile like before. So hard. But still, it's not the same."
Naruto caught his eyes suddenly, his gaze speaking more than his words.
'There are different ways of dying, Sasuke.'
"You can't help but feel loss," He continued, "When you compare it to the one before."
One last look and Naruto swiped his eyes dry, turning and leaving Sasuke alone to make his choice.
"What isn't soft, in your eyes?" Sakura threw back. "Friendship, compassion, concern- it's all seen as weakness to you."
Eyes not quite meeting, Sasuke turned around.
"You're right. I can't come back here. It was a mistake. Everything is too different."
She clenched her teeth two seconds before she shot off the bench. "So that's it then? You come back only to realize things have changed, so you give up? Newsflash, Sasuke- things wouldn't have been the same even if you had stayed! Are you seriously going to make the same mistake again?"
"You've changed too."
Sakura glared at him, and he realized that even when he pictured her in his mind he still couldn't get that shade of green right.
"I waited every night on this bench for the first year, you know." Her tone was completely contradictory to what she was confessing. "Slept here and everything. I finally stopped when they had to hospitalize me for pneumonia. After that, I trained. Did nothing but train, so that when I went to get you, I could be strong enough to bring you home…"
"Naruto!" She hissed, clutching her chest. "I'm in my nightclothes!"
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" The blond head that had been barging into her room made a hasty retreat, shutting the door.
Minutes later, robe-clad Sakura opened it again.
"Okay, I'm decent, come in." She didn't wait for him to enter, simply left the door open in invitation and collapsed onto her bed.
"Sakura…you know we reach the Sound tomorrow, right?"
The happy way her eyes scrunched as she nuzzled her pillow smoothed out into weary melancholy. "Yes."
"Do you remember what Sasuke said to you the night he left?"
Sakura squinted up at her friend. "Huh? What does that have to do with-"
Naruto held up a hand to shush her as he settled on the floor. "I have an idea, but I need to see if I'm right."
Sakura shot him a look that clearly stated her opinion of his sanity, but complied.
"I met up with him on the main road."
His footsteps sounded so heavy.
"When he saw me, I confronted him about leaving and talked to him about our days as genin."
Why won't you say anything to me!
"I told him that if he went for revenge, it wouldn't bring anyone any happiness."
Not you…not me.
"He said he knew. He told me he thought about remaining here, but that he wasn't like us- his heart had chosen revenge."
I exist only for that purpose.
"So, I told him I loved him, and tried to bribe him to stay here. He was unresponsive."
From here on out, our paths will change.
"So then I said that if he left, I would understand his loneliness and if it came down to it, I would help him pursue strength and his hunt for Itachi. I said I would even desert the Leaf for him."
Please take me with you.
"Of course, he was unaffected."
You really are annoying.
"So that's when I threatened to scream. Next thing I knew, he was behind me, and I came to the next morning on a bench."
Sakura…thank you.
"Hmmm…" Naruto bowed his head into his fist, deep in thought. A slightly ridiculous gesture, but on Naruto it almost seemed natural. "Sakura, I think you were wrong when you said only I could bring him back"
"Why do you say that?" She hugged her pillow closer, willing herself to be calm about this topic...it had been three years. This should be easy by now.
"Sasuke just about spilled his guts to me when we last fought- but his conversation with you was short by comparison."
She favored him with a wan smile. "You were closer to him, Naruto."
Naruto shook his head in disagreement. "No, no, that's not it at all. After all, he didn't tell me about his curse seal, or you about his precious people."
"Precious people?" Sakura wiggled under the covers, the chill of the room driving her to distraction.
"The point is, Sasuke is as much a ninja talking as he is fighting. But Sasuke isn't a good talker- he's outclassed by you, and he knows it. So he says what he's gotta to you, and bolts before you can convince him he's wrong. Now me, on the other hand- Sasuke's always had more brain. He knows it. He doesn't care if blabs out his life story because he knows I can't turn his words into weapons. I'm too unskilled." Naruto grinned at her, the expression still as goofy as it was when he was twelve. "No way he would let Sakura get a word in edgewise. Just like he won't let me get in a good punch."
"Where are you going with this Naruto?" Sakura was genuinely intrigued now. Naruto's theory held water in some crazy backwards logic kinda way.
"If Sasuke knows you're you, his mouth stays shut. But if he thinks you're me…"
It all clicked. "Transformation."
"Right. I've got the brawn to beat him into submission, and you've got the brain to convince him to come back."
Naruto's grin was contagious Sakura was quickly finding out. "So I transform into you…"
"And then when he approaches you, do your thing!" Naruto flashed his teeth before pumping a fist into the air.
"But, Naruto…" Sakura looked uncertain. "Do you think I'll be able to say anything to him?"
Naruto sobered up quickly. "Sakura...you know how many times Sasuke has called me annoying and how many times he's brushed me off and fought with me?"
She nodded diligently.
"That day, the last time I saw him- he told me I had become his closest friend."
Sakura's eyes widened, her lips parting in shock.
"Any emotion Sasuke feels is seen as a hindrance." Naruto elaborated, "But it doesn't mean he doesn't feel them. I think you'd be surprised with how much you mean to him- he was even nice to you on occasion. That must really say something!"
Her enlarged eyes narrowed to a glare. "Naruto..." She warned.
"He probably had a crush on you!" The blond shrieked, as if he had never suspected before. "Although that depressing dimwit probably thought that was a bad thing."
"Oh my god, shut up!" Sakura growled as she socked her teammate in the head. "And quit joking around! We need to rest up for tomorrow."
Naruto stopped teasing, but he didn't tell her that he hadn't been joking. Naruto knew the Uchiha genius better than anyone, and he saw the way the reserved ninja worried about Sakura, and how he had even sacrificed his precious pride to ask Naruto to save her. No, she was important to him, in some way. How, he wouldn't even guess on. Sasuke's demented mind worked in ways the loud teenager would rather not ruminate on. But he had a hunch, and if there was anything about Naruto that was more than extraordinary, it was his instincts.
They'd see tomorrow in any case.
Sasuke growled. "I didn't part with you in that manner so you would catch your death on some bench waiting for someone who would never come."
Sakura might have been touched by the statement in another time and place, but now she was angry, years of pent up emotion clamoring to the surface. "Oh, so why did you part with me that way then? Or was that admittance of gratitude another way to throw me off so you could leave undetected?"
His eyebrows slanted as he settled his scowl on her furious features. "Of course not. I'm not that heartless."
"Then why?"
"Don't misunderstand me! I had every intention of walking off and forgetting all about you!" Sasuke was shouting, but Sakura was positive he hadn't realized it. "But then you had be difficult and I thought...I remember thinking that...this will…"
"This will be the last time." Sasuke's smile was terrifying as he spotted his ultimate rival in the melee of battling ninjas. He couldn't help the laughter that escaped him as he noticed how weak the boy appeared- Naruto's charka was barely even registering in the red hues of his Sharingan. Pathetic.
He dodged Sasuke's first onslaught, light on his feet for once. "Sasuke." His voice was off, the black-haired boy noticed. He seemed surprised- almost wistful.
"I'm going to go through with it this time Naruto." The grin twisted into an aggressive sneer. "I'm going to kill you."
The boy seemed shaken, but straightened, tilting his head upward. There was something so off, and yet, everything was familiar...
"You slander your lost ones by doing that." Naruto whispered.
That stopped Sasuke cold. "What did you say?"
Naruto seemed to gain a bit more steam, rounding on the taller boy. "Why are you getting revenge in the first place Sasuke? Because something you loved was wrenched away? But by pushing us away, by hurting us, you dishonor their memory- by tearing down the very thing you mourn for!"
"Shut up!" Sasuke was furious. Before he could contemplate the action, his hand had lashed out, catching Naruto by his throat and slamming him against a tree. It had to have hurt, the crack of his skull against the bark was unmistakable, but his gaze remained unmoved. And he never once stopped talking.
"Your parents wouldn't be shamed if you left Itachi alive." Naruto choked, his once-powerful hands grasping weakly at Sasuke's wrist.
Something was wrong. But he was so very familiar…so...
"They would roll over in their graves if they knew how you treated your precious people!" Naruto spat out, a last defiance to Sasuke's choke-hold.
The Uchiha survivor's hand tightened with bruising ferocity. "What do you know, you damned orphan! You've never had a loved one taken away!"
The illusion disappeared and Sasuke's eyes widened as green eyes plead with his.
"But I have. He left of his own will, and didn't even glance back when I cried for him."
"Sakura..." His eyes were almost human for a split second, and only for a second, but it was enough to reassure her that the boy she loved still existed in that tainted body. It clouded over in the next instant with Sharingan rage, her own scream ringing in her ears as his fist connected with her temple.
Sasuke trailed off uncomfortably. He didn't want to tell her it had been that sense of finality that had prompted him to finally reach out to the pink-haired girl.
She met his eyes in defiance, and Sasuke was suddenly struck at how her features had matured.
"Every kind gesture I made towards you was met with apathy and disdain." A counter to what he was going to say- she already knew. And then-
"You took me for granted."
Yes, yes I did. That was what he wanted to come out, but that stupid pride kept his mouth closed, throat silent and aching from keeping the words clenched tightly inside. Maybe he wasn't as different as he thought.
It had been too little, too late, as it always had been in Sasuke's case.
"You never saw me, only Naruto. Always Naruto. I can't change the fact that he's the better ninja. I couldn't give you more than I was." She clenched her jaw in contempt. "I was already giving you everything."
I saw you.
Stupid, blind pride.
"And you walked away from it and threw it all back in my face like it was nothing." She was looking at him now, wounded despite her strong words, and he was slowly drawing nearer. "How were things without your annoying fangirl? How was life without me?"
It sucked. But you didn't understand. I'm too angry, too callous, too selfish. I would've taken and taken. You both deserved more than that.
She wet her lips and Sasuke knew her mouth would taste bitter with the residue of her words.
You can't help but feel loss when you compare it to the one before.
"Did you miss me?"
Yes. Yes. Yes. Every night. In dreams that made my heart pound. Every day. Thinking about how empty my life had become. All the time, because without you, I was Uchiha. Never Sasuke.
But all Sakura heard was silence.
"I had no choice." He finally ground out. She didn't know it was his version of pleading.
"Even if someone holds a knife to your throat, you always…always have a choice."
He was backing her closer to the wall now, a still fuming Sakura retreating from his advance grudgingly.
"Some are easier than others." The words were forced through set teeth. "Coward or villain? Those were my options."
Her shoulder blades hit the stone.
"Indulge myself, or deny myself?" A finger flitted out to ghost across the bulge of her wrist-bone. Sakura yanked her hand away.
"I almost stayed. I wanted so badly to forget it all. But I couldn't pursue my own happiness when my parents sat cold in their grave, denied of their own."
Sakura had a flash of what could've been. Sasuke the avenger, opening up. Protecting them, fighting with them, feeling those demons inside him easing. Sasuke, as the boy who could've loved her back if he let himself, instead of running away from her. It ached, thinking of what she had once had in her grasp, and all the 'what ifs' that had been before her.
They were so close now, their body heat glancing off the other, a warmth of proximity that seemed too gentle for the charged situation. From where she stood, Sakura could see the way the rich black of his hair left highlights almost purple in color, could note the way his hips angled outward while he threw his shoulders back. She still couldn't tell his iris from his pupil.
It was supposed to be different, it was supposed to have changed, but it was all so horribly the same. Nostalgia blindsided her more forcibly than it had in two years. She immediately averted her gaze, but she knew she had given herself away when her voice made the smallest whine as she bit back a sob.
But he wouldn't know what to say, and she had words that had waited too long.
"Laugh it up, you bastard. I wanted to forget about you, I wanted that pain to go away, but the truth is…I missed you!"
She let her face drop into her hands seconds before his crushing embrace forced them to her sides once more.
She hated him. She loved him. Her face in his shoulder, she wet his shirt with her tears, her gasping breaths her only indication of crying. Sasuke knew he was the reason she wept so silently now.
"You're so stupid." His hands clenched on her back and in her hair, and if she had looked up she would have seen how fierce he looked. "You're such a stupid girl!"
Stilted gasping breaths punctuated her reply. "I know...I can't help it...I still love you."
He pushed her away and she thought he might finally be so disgusted with her he'd disavow any connections, but instead he bent his head and pressed his mouth to hers.
It was shocking enough to stop her from crying, his kiss soft at first, then harder. His tongue parted her lips to taste her, and she surprised herself by meeting him, passion for passion. Breaking for air, they met again, slanting kiss after kiss, alien emotions welling in her stomach, heat curling through her veins. Her sobs turned to whimpers as he bit her lower lip, sucked gently. Before she could recover he had broken the kiss, was pressing open-mouthed caresses to the bruises on her throat, rubbing his cheek against the bump on her temple. Grasping hands pulled her full against him, his lean hips sandwiching her against him and the wall.
"I will destroy you. Can't you see what I've done already?" The whisper at her ear made her shiver with pleasure rather than fear, and he took the opportunity to catch her earlobe softly in his teeth.
She jerked slightly, fisting her fingers in his shirt. "It was my choice to go after you and take Naruto's form."
His fingers were skimming her collar bones, her neck, down her back, soothing the muscles that had tensed in anger, making her heart beat an unsteady rhythm. "Why do you care so little for yourself?"
She kissed his neck, gratified when his breath sped up. "I could ask the same question."
"I thought I had killed you." He was trying to hold onto his train of thought as her fingers found their way under his shirt, traced the muscles of his abdomen. "I thought...I don't even remember. I just remember being sick to my stomach." He reached down and caught her hands in his own, forcing her to cease her distracting exploration.
"I don't want to go through that again."
She met his black gaze with her own, soft with the forgiveness she was admired for. "When you care about someone, that's part of life."
"That is weakness." Sasuke growled, shifting as if to step away.
Sakura locked her arms around the taller boy, tilting her face inches away from his own. "No, Sasuke. Caring about someone, worrying about them, that's bravery. Risking the safety of being alone to selflessly love another- that is true strength. And being hurt, and hurting one another...that is human."
His breathing was rasping down his throat, head bent and eyes closed against her words.
"Stay, Sasuke. Don't hurt me again. Trust me enough to accept my love." She brushed his raven bangs back from his brow, and his eyes opened to catch the action.
"Who knew," He laughed weakly, "That out of the three of us, you'd end up being the strong one."
He kissed her again, as a man dying of thirst might drink, and she didn't hesitate this time around. Whispered encouragements had her free of her clothing, and she returned the favor, fingers decisive as she unbuttoned his shorts. Sasuke's calloused hands were careful of bandages and injuries he had inflicted on her small frame. She picked up on his hesitation.
"Don't think about it. You weren't in the right mind."
She kissed him, running her hands down his chest. Short nails lightly teased the skin of his stomach and the muscles contracted as a groan escaped his throat. It was hungry, the touching and tasting, a hazy reality Sakura found coming into sharp focus as she wrapped her legs around his waist, braced against the wall he had backed her against.
"Sasuke...we're still outside?"
"I needed you now." He panted, hands learning the curves of her breasts and hips as he fitted her to him.
He entered her in a swift motion, and the pain she had braced for washed over her and receded to a dull throbbing. Relaxing against his invasion, she tightened her hold and found his rhythm, the scrape of the stone against her barely registering compared to the full feeling of having him inside her. His harsh breaths stirred the hair at her nape, the soft exclamations and moans of pleasure echoed in her own throatier voice.
He stiffened against her suddenly, and let out low groan, and though Sakura had not found completion, she still slumped against him, warm and satisfied. There would be time for all that later, if only he would...
"Will you stay with me?" She asked after he lowered her to the ground and covered her up with his shirt.
He paused in the middle of re-fastening his shorts. He looked up at her, street lights making his white skin glow with the sheen of his perspiration.
"I will try."
'It will never be the kind of good it once was.' She thought, as he stooped, gathering her scattered clothing.
And Sasuke was right, things were different now. They would have to work at what had once come so easily. She would need to forgive him for things she never knew she could pardon.
But, he still reached out to grab her wrist as he walked her back to her house, where he would no doubt stay the night. It was a familiar grasp, firm but still unsure, even after all these years.
'Even so', Sakura mused as he glanced back at her when she put up a little resistance, his face unguarded and somewhat smug, 'some things stay the same.'

When it comes to water treatment and purification in the home, many myths abound that can leave homeowners confused about what they really need to do to keep their water clean and safe for drinking. Ultimately, you can always call in a water testing and treatment service regularly to evaluate your home's water supply, but you'll still want to be sure that you're not getting caught up in many of the myths that circulate about treating and softening your water at home. Here are a few of those myths and the truth behind them.
The Purifier on the Refrigerator is Sufficient
Although the purifier in your refrigerator is probably designed to filter out some mineral content, chances are that it's only really targeting larger particles, like dirt. It might even help to clear out some of the subtle odors in the water, but that doesn't mean that it's getting everything.
Most refrigerator filters are only two-stage filters, which means that the water only passes through two stages of filtration. Most whole-house filtration and purification systems offer at least three-stage filtration, and in some cases, they provide more than that. Look for a filtration system that eliminates as many particles and contaminants as possible, including minerals, chemicals and sediment.
I Can't Afford a Purifier
Maybe you think buying bottled water or using that water jug delivery service is more affordable than installing a purifier in your home. While the initial investment in a purifier may be higher, the money you spend over time on all of those water containers can add up much faster than you might think.
There's no Difference Between Purifying, Filtering and Softening
It's important that you understand each of these water treatment methods, because each one offers unique benefits. For example, most drinking water is treated with chlorine for disinfection. Water softeners won't eliminate chlorine from the water – they only reduce minerals. So, you'll have to have a purifier to get rid of chemicals in the water such as chlorine. Purifiers are used to get rid of the chemicals and minerals that a water softener can't touch. When it comes to filtration, that's entirely different. Filters are typically designed to eliminate specific things. One of the most common things that filters eliminate is iron in the water. Ideally, you need all three of these treatment methods to keep your home's water clean.
Water Softeners Use Salt to Clean the Water
There is a salt solution used as part of the softener's cleaning process, but it's only one part of the process. The brine solution cleans the softener, not the water. The water flows through the filters of the softener and exits your tap with no more salt content than it had coming into your house. The brine is used to clean any residue and media caught in the filtration system after the softener has processed a set number of gallons of water.
For more information, contact Evolution Water Testing Ltd. or a similar company.
