I Disappear

By: Silverwolf

Fugaku sits with Mikoto the subject of their late night conversations was always the same. With Mikoto still holding hope that her youngest would return home Fugaku couldn't much blame her. Though he doubted Sasuke would ever return home considering the that boy managed to close both of his savings accounts before disappearing three years ago. In the beginning several of students that went to class with the boy stop by to hear if there was progress in finding him. Now none of them came around... with the eeception of a blonde that wouldn't let the fact Sasuke chose to runaway alone.

To begin with Fugaku had managed to deal with Sasuke through various forms of antidepressants. It was clear that Sasuke was unhappy. Though the most Fugaku had ever put effort into was the medications and it was a battle to get Sasuke to take them. Mikoto always believed that her son had no need for the medicine. Fugaku's reply to her efforts to end the battle of wills between father and son was that it was even possible that their oldest son was on some kind of prescription to deal with life. Though the accusation had been proved false and with Mikoto taking Sasuke to a different therapist so went the presciptions to the youngest Uchiha. The effort was null when Sasuke decided to disappear. Even with a reward there wasn't a report of seeing the teenager.

A raven teen wraps pieces of a shirt around a slice along his skin. He'd cut into his hand trying to fix the rusted through pipes of a kitchen sink. The place he could call his own had seen better days, but for now it was home. Swearing under his breath he went back to work. He had at most two hours left before university classes. He'd managed to get into a the universiy under an assumed name. It didn't bother him any. The less people knew of who he was the more they left him alone.

There's a grin as the rest of the pipes finally come free. The next step was putting new piping in place. At least he'd managed to repair the rotting bathroom floor all ready. There still was the matter of the leasking roof to tackle when the kitchen sink was finished. Sasuke takes a breath before abandoning the matter of the sink for the day. There wouldn't be any using it for now, but he'd run out of time. The matter of classes would have to come first. He hisses as he uncovers the cut through his skin. It would also have to be dealt with before infection could set in and he wasn't looking forward to that matter either.

Sasuke moves tohis bedroom and on to his bathroom to begin ridding himself from the filth of removing the pipes. Also he would have to be his own doctor when it came to his sliced open hand. Something he wasn't very fond of doing. With none of the vermin of the house his wounded hand was his own responsibility.

The teen emerges fron one room to the next after some time. He snatches up a backpack with a university ID clipped to it. Keys hang at his hip as he grabs a beat up BDU jacket. Sasuke is certain to close a pair of locks hanging from rings on the other side of the door. After all the last thing he wanted to deal with was someone in his room.

Though he was the one making repairs he wasn't the only one living in the house. The three other bedrooms also had their own bathroom with every other room being common. Though the place wasn't I nthe best condition to house anyone. Sasuke couldn't really complain since it was cheap and didn't require him to provide identication to begin staying there, just tlike the university Sasuke took classes in.

As Sasuke leaves down the hall he notices one of the bedrooms is open. Karin sits scowling at a broken book shelf. Sasuke choose to act as if he doesn't hear he when he calls for him to fix it. He was more concentrated on making it to class on time than a petty request from the only female in the house. It wasn't like she was home when he needed her help.

A/N: I wrote this out of boredom. I'm not sure if it even hold interest. I'm posting it anyway. Who knows it might turn out popular. Which reminds me I have a lot of unfinished work posted... I'll finish it eventually, promise.
