Troubled: Prologue

Sasuke looked out the window and watched the birds fly by.

"Was this meant to happen?"

The silly orange suit and the messy, ruffled blond hair.

"Was this destined to happen?

The glazed blue eyes that sparkled every time the idiot grinned.

Is this fate...?"

He smirked, "I'm starting to sound like Neji..."

Uchiha Sasuke walked towards his bathroom and put his hands on the sink. As he looked in the mirror, he brushed his stray hairs away from his face. The usual scowl that had remained etched on his face for many years had been replaced with a look of sadness. Sorrow.

"I am not sad. I just look..."

Like a kid whose favourite pet has passed away...

"....Troubled," he stuttered. His nose had started to ache and his cheeks reddened.

"That's right. Troubled. I look..."

Like a boy whose best friend had recently moved away...

"Trou..." A tear rolled down his cheek.

Like a person who had lost the most important thing to him.

"...bled..." he whispered.

"I don't miss him..."

He splashed his face with water and didn't bother to dry himself. The water soaked the collars of his shirt as he went back to look out the window.


Author's message:

Hallo. First time writing a Naruto message so spare me T-T. Please read and review, highly appreciated.

Haven't decided on whether to continue this. Or any pairing either. So, it would help if you read and review then I might go on with the story with more depth.

So I might just end this with one more chapter or just leave this prologue as a one-shot to confuse many readers. Or I could continue.

Please read and review! Domo arigatou gozaimasu!
