Chapter 1

Thoughts are written like this

Black; that was all he saw. Sasuke Uchiha finally killed his brother with the help of a Sharingan; at the cost of his eye sight. Now the world was dark, not like it wasn't already. He still could fend for himself with his other senses, but organic things, such as rocks, were another story. He could easily not sense a rock and trip over it. From the sound of it night had fallen and he could smell food, so he was probably in some kind of village. Feeling his way around, he climbed some stairs to a door. He knocked and waited for someone to answer it. Her heard footsteps; they were light, probably those of a female.

Just gives me a better chance at a room and a hot meal. I was the most eligible bachelor of Kohona, after all.

The door opened and a famine voice spoke. "Hello?"

"Hello, I was wondering if you had a room I could stay in for the night."

"Sure. Come on in, I had just made some dinner a few friends of mine."

"Sakura-Chan! Is the food ready yet?"

Sakura? Is it a coincidence?

"No, Naruto! Be patient!"

Naruto? That means I'm back in Kohona! Man, I must be pretty beat up if Sakura didn't recognize me.

"Oh, sorry about him. He's so impatient!" Sakura explained. "Oh yes, I didn't get your name."

Sasuke smiled. "Uchiha Sasuke."

There was a crash as something hit the floor. "Oh…." Sakura gasped.

"Sakura-Chan! What fell?" a boy's voice was heard and a hard pounding of footsteps. Sasuke bend down to pick up the pieces of whatever she dropped as the boy entered the room.

"Who's that?"

Sakura didn't respond. Sasuke cut his finger on a piece of what he found to be a broken plate.

"Ow." He muttered, as he felt the wound begin the bled.

"Oh, here." Sasuke felt a hand take his and there was a low humming sound as the wound healed quickly. He felt his finger.

"Whoa, how'd you do that, Sakura?"

"I'm a medical ninja. I trained to be one while you were gone, Sasuke."

"Wait-wait-wait-wait; SASUKE?!" Naruto yelled.

"It's me, idiot."

"No way!"

Sasuke smirked.

"But, dude, you're blind."

A heavy silence filled the air. "Yeah."

"How?"

"I used too powerful of a Sharingan."

"On Itachi?"

"So is he?"

"Yeah."

There was more silence when, "Okay, let's eat!" Naruto yelled, and ran off.

Sasuke chuckled. "Trust Naruto to think of his stomach."

"I wish you could see him Sasuke; he's changed a lot." Sakura sighed.

"I can tell that from the sound of his voice." Sasuke told her.

"He's going out with Hinata finally."

"Took him long enough to realize she liked him."

Sasuke felt Sakura move closer to him. "I… I missed you, Sasuke."

Sasuke turned toward her voice and smiled. Oh, how he wished he could see her face. They walked to the kitchen in silence, Sakura, showing him to his seat when they reached it.

"Oh yeah. Sasuke came back!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.

"Hello, Sasuke." Hinata said.

Sasuke nodded in Hinata's direction. Sasuke spoke to herself as she put the dishes down, saying each food loud enough for Sasuke to pick it up and put the dishes down a little harder than usual so that Sasuke could hear where they were. When she took her place a Sasuke's side he whispered to her, "Thanks."

"No problem."

Sasuke tossed and turned in his bed, that night replaying in his dreams.

"Brother, why? Why?"

"To see what I was capable of."

"What? What do you mean?"

Itachi stood before child Sasuke. He closed his eyes and opened them; activating the Mangekyou Sharingan. The sky turned red and ninja stars were thrown, sending blood into the air as they met their marks.

"Stop it! Brother! Don't show me this!" Sasuke screamed.

Itachi was not fazed by this and killed a few more of Sasuke's family members.

- (' . ') -

"BROTHER!" Sasuke screamed as he bolted up from his nightmare.

What is with this nightmare? Sasuke thought as he brought his legs up to his chest.

It should have stopped since Itachi's dead.

Sasuke felt the tears well in the back of his eyes. A floor board creaked somewhere and Sasuke vigorously whipped his eyes.

"Who's there?" he called out to feel a hand touch his cheek.

"Was it that day again?" a soft voice asked.

Sasuke turned away as the tears threatened to fall; he couldn't let Sakura see him cry. An arm wrapped around his shoulder and pulled him close to a warm body. He felt a hand guide his head to a position which he couldn't identify. Sasuke felt his head fall and rise with Sakura's breathing, so he guessed he was on her chest. A tear escaped his eye and the others soon fallowed and Sasuke's arms encircled Sakura's waist, pulling her close. Sakura stroked his hair and whispered calming word in his ear as Sasuke cried into Sakura's side. Long after the tears had dried away Sasuke fell silently to sleep but was awakened as he felt himself being positioned, a kiss being laid on his forehead. Sasuke sat up as he heard Sakura turn to leave. He reached out and found her waist, hugging her close to him, resting his head on her lower back.

"Don't leave." He pleaded. Sakura cooperated and lay back down on the bed. Sasuke pulled her to himself; nuzzling his nose in her neck. Sakura stroked his cheek as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
