He put her off. He could see it so very clearly. Everything was stillness, and her every move was observed by keen eyes flawed with the hues of mother and father, both equally mad in each their unique way. Where inside her had the black corruption placed its roots? Could it be that some individuals could be saved? Could there be such a thing as absolution for the likes of them? Itachi thought Eclipse had every right to cringe at his presence. It was good if she did.
The hybrid had been wrong – wrong about who he was. Blood was thick and beautiful, and it called to him more so when he knew that it was his as well as hers. Why would he want to associate with this estranged sibling? Shallow rumours had insisted he had two younger siblings in the clan. He didn’t know their names, nor would he ever want to. It was wrong to linger with old connections, especially when it was the opposite of wise. Itachi and Eclipse weren’t supposed to mingle, ever. He had always known this, but now he could understand it, as she apologized. He had been wrong to ever consider her anything but a distant name.
Empty sunsets looked to her, his entirety unchanging, and completely without mercy. ”Ah, but your apology wouldn’t be sincere, I fear” he muttered, face falling into shadow as falsely gilded locks fell into his face. She shouldn’t socialize with monsters. Eclipse, just as his precious China, was a creature designed to walk sunlit paths. He belonged to the shadows; he shied away from the warmth of the sun. ”Would you like to know how our father died, Eclipse?”
