CHAPTER 1: First Sight
Naruto stared at the sleeping man from behind the tree that was currently concealing him. There, a mere 40 feet away, lay Uchiha Sasuke.
The raven was asleep, positioned beside a fire that had weakened, but still prvided plenty of warmth. His hair was spread out behind him, his black locks probably about mid-back length. His skin was extremely pale, in an almost but not quite sickly way. His breathing was even and natural, indicating he was deeply asleep or a very good actor.
At first, Naruto vouched for the second as Sasuke suddenly flicked his wrist, sending a formerly concealed kunai towards the blonde. The fox hurriedly teleported to the branch of another tree, watching the Uchiha as the 19 year old missing nin slowly sat up, leaving the blanket in place next to him. Naruto then began to consider his first hypothesis about Sasuke being asleep as he watched the raven try to focus his eyes momentarily.
After gaining enough consciousness to function properly, Sasuke looked around. Correction, he looked straight at Naruto. Naruto blinked in confusion. How could Sasuke have known he was there? The blonde's chakra was completely concealed, and he had left no signs indicating he was present. 'How the hell did he know someone was here?'
'Who knows what he's capable of now!' Kyuubi ranted in the back of Naruto's head. 'Have you forgotten where he's been for… one… two… six years?!'
'Hey! I thought he was dead! If it weren't for his chakra signature, I'd have thought it was that snake bastard sennin!' Naruto replied angrily. He had strictly told Kyuubi not to pipe up unless the demon fox was invited. Though the blonde soon lost interest in scolding the nine-tailed monster when he noticed the lump of blanket beside the Uchiha had begun to move. Sasuke himself turned towards the wiggling mound, but he didn't look surprised. No, Uchiha Sasuke…. the Uchiha Sasuke… smiled.
It was a small smile, barely noticeable, but it became extremely obvious if you had known Sasuke for longer than a little while. The first thing you really realized, after you got past the boy's stunning looks, was that his facial expression never changed, the only exception being his notorious smirk. So it was fairly obvious that Uchiha Sasuke was smiling.
Naruto watched in amazement as Sasuke lowered his head down to the squirming pile of cloth and whispered something inaudible to anyone more than 2 ½ feet away. The lump stopped wriggling, and Sasuke calmly brought a pale hand (which was half-hidden by the long, black, oversized sleeve that draped off his arm) to the blanket and peeled back the edge, revealing… a small, black-haired child.
