I Feel You Forgetting Me

Author's Note: I hope you enjoy! And for Chobits fans I did name and sort of base my character off of Chi.

Ch.1: Water

The word of Sasuke defeating Orochimaru traveled faster than light. Most villages, if not all, were struck with this sudden and dramatic news.

Sasuke was looking for the four ninjas to create his own unit: Karin, Suigetsu, Jugo, and Chi.

Sasuke searched for Chi first, knowing that she was in Orochimaru's experiment lab. As Sasuke opened the steel doors to find her, he was met with an empty chamber with nothing but a note.

"Someone has beat you to it. I hope to see you soon. –Chi"

Sasuke was in complete shock, crumpling the note after reading it. In anger, he punched the wall leaving a huge dent. He was left oblivious to who would have taken her since no one ever knew anything about Chi and her experimental design with Orochimaru. Sasuke had not expected this frustration of losing not only an addition to his intended unit, but a friend.

It was a lost cause for Sasuke, he knew it would be fruitless to go in search for her. Upset with the diversion in his plan to gather his unit, he searched for Suigetsu, hoping he hadn't disappeared as well.

A few days before Sasuke defeats Orochimaru.

Chi was in her cell, painting a picture of what she thought was the ocean. Since Chi could remember, she has been an experimental project of Orochimaru. She was brought to the hideout a few years ago but was unable to remember anything before her encounter with Orochimaru. She couldn't even remember her name so she named herself the syllable that was easiest to say and spell for her: Chi.

Orochimaru found Chi's unique ability to deflect any type of genjutsu interesting. She was also a phenomenal artist and her abilities allowed her to bring her art to life.

After she finished painting her conception of the ocean, which was water but instead of sand it was an evergreen forest bordering the water, dhe conjured the water from her painting. She used her painted ocean to splash her face but the water quickly evaporated as Chi realized how depressing her situation was.

Unable to discover the outside world, she was forced to play on her fantasies, basing it off the little flashes of memory she had left.

She felt eyes on her outside of her cell, she turned her head to see familiar red eyes with the sharingan mark.

"Sasuke?" Chi hoped, Sasuke was her only friend in Orochimaru's lair. After Orochimaru's failed experiment to incorporate Sasuke's sharingan abilities with Chi, Sasuke and Chi grew a bond. They both understood their status as two experimental rats trapped in a cage.

However, the figured emerged from the shadows to display a man with a black coat covered with red clouds. Chi squinted, "you're not Sasuke… but you have his eyes."

"If I told you I could get you out of here, would you leave with me without a struggle?" the stranger asked.

Chi didn't know how to respond at first. She fantasized everyday of leaving this prison but not in this way, Sasuke had promised her he would be the one to save her after he had defeated Orochimaru. Ever since that promise, she anxiously waited for that day.

"Who are you? How can trust someone whom I've never met before," Chi was unsure of this situation.

Chi saw the stranger's physique change into a slightly shorter version of himself. He soon began to look like Sasuke.

"Your genjutsu doesn't work on me. You're not Sasuke," Chi said defensively.

The stranger changed back to his original form and introduced himself, "so what he said was true, you aren't affected by my sharingan. My name is Itachi and I was ordered to come get you."

"Ordered by who?"

"By my leader."

"Who is…?"

Itachi became annoyed with all the questions and what annoyed him even more was that he couldn't use his genjutsu to make her come with him willingly. Instead, he broke down the cell that kept Chi imprisoned and lent out a hand.

"We don't have much time."

Chi, in impulse, grabbed his hand. But before she was dragged out of her cell, she wrote a quick note to tell Sasuke that someone has beat him to it.
