Day one: Necromancer

A/N: Alright I decided to participate in this year's SasuSaku month 2016. I personally might not agree with some of the rules or love the prompts but I thought I would do my best to try and adhere to them. However IF I don't I'm sorry… and I can't really be made to care.

Summary: AU Sasuke is with Orochimaru but he and Sakura hadn't met. He wants answers about the death of his clan so he goes to see a sorceress he hears of.

This was a joke, it had to be, none of this could be real… right? Lest that'd be what Sasuke was asking himself as he walking into the small shop filled with strange scents and other things. He had heard, through the grape vine or Orochimaru's minions, here in this strange place, there was a necromancer, a witch, a sorceress, whatever it was you wished to call her, she resided here. He sighed heavily looking around at the lowly lit shop that now, seemed far larger on the inside than it had from the front entrance. Candelabra's burned against the walls, incense alight casting its scent's in the air, and in the back at a table sat what appeared to be a doll.

He crept closer to the strange thing and had he been anyone else would have jumped when her eyes opened. Pale green met black as her head tilted ever so slightly, her lips parted just so, pale skin only intensified by the candle light and she slowly stood. He saw now her hair, pink like Sakura blossoms flowed down her back, small braids and charms woven into the locks. She circled him, head still tilted finger barley grazing him as she sauntered back to face him.

"You wish for answers?" she spoke and his smooth façade faltered for a moment, he hadn't expected her voice so sound so… innocent when she herself looked far from it.

"Yes." 'Twas his only reply and she all but danced away from him gesturing to the other seat at the table. He took a moment to take her in wholly, a deep red and black outfit clung to her body. The top was closer to that of a bralette than an actual top, her skirt hung low across her hips exposing tattoos and other markings. He noticed similar charms on the dress as he had seen in her hair.

He slowly sat down across from her looking at the various things on the table, a crystal ball and Ouija board. He raised a black brow as she gathered a few items from around them and laid them out along the table.

"What do you wish to know?" she questioned with the same startling voice.

"My Clan, I want to know why they were slaughtered." He paused "How I defeat the one who killed them."

"These are answers I cannot change, are you so sure you wish to know?" she questioned making a motion for his hand and as he extended it towards her palm up her own pressed against it and slowly glowed green. It didn't hurt rather felt strangely pleasant… to the point where he hadn't noticed she had cut him and taken some of his blood putting it into a small pestle along with some other things grinding it until it was a paste.

"I can more than handle the answers." He insisted and she made a tutting with her tongue.

"No one is ever truly ready to hear those they have lost tell them what they want to find." She replied smoothly rubbing the paste onto her hands in a pattern before closing her eyes again reaching for his own hands to which he placed in hers. The same green light appeared and she slowly said things in a tongue he could not hope to decipher.

"All of them killed were they not?" she asked and he gave a simple 'yes' in reply.

"Your brother killed them… you wish to know why…" her eyes slowly opened and they were a different color, almost all the green was gone from them now replaced with black almost matching his own.

"Correct…" he replied seeing as her eyes seemed to move past him rather than focus on him.

"I feel them… a mother and father…" she paused "Yours?" her eyes closed again. "The head of your clan and his wife… yes… yours…" she spoke slowly her voice cracking no longer as smooth as it had been.

"You feel them?" his voice was measured and she only nodded her eyes opening again and her lips parted.

"They told you to run… you did… he told you to hate him… you did… such a good little boy…" she cooed softly a hint of teasing in her otherwise even tone. He gave a soft glare and she tutted again.

"None of that." She chastised softly reminding him of his mother in that moment, in that tone, in the way she was looking at him… rather into him it seemed.

"Your brother is still alive… you hate him… you want to kill him… want him to pay for what he did to you…" she whispered leaning closer to him until her face was inches from his own.

"Tell me why he killed them." he repeated and she let out an airy breath too calm for the situation they were in, for the feeling he had around him.

"To keep you safe," 'Twas her simple reply and he let out a low growl in return she repeated the noise. "There were talks of things they wish not to speak of… plots of things they wish not to tell… whispered of things that would have ended so much… all for the grasp of control." She breathed and sat back again her eyes closing.

"Liar." He snapped and her eyes opened suddenly looking very dangerous as she clambered across the small table till she sat on it her nails digging into his shoulders like needles.

"I. Never. Lie." Her voice was dangerous and low her nails moving up along his neck leaving angered marks in return. "The dead never lie." The same dangerous venom laced tone. Her fingers raked along his skin until they were at the back of his head and she kept them there as a warning.

"You wanted the truth, said you could handle it… yet it appears you cannot just like so many others." She whispered her hands gripping on his hair and forcing him to look up towards the darkened ceiling.

"Tell me…" she purred her lips grazing across the exposed skin of his neck. "Still want to know his weakness… the weakness of your brother." She trailed up with feather light touches but her grip still like iron in his hair.

"Yes." He chocked out suppressing a shudder at her actions. She let out a soft giggle against his skin the vibration causing a shudder to rip from him. Her lips trailed along his skin ever so softly until she reached his ear.

"You." It was the only word she spoke before nipping at the earlobe for just a moment and releasing her grip on his hair moving back to her spot with a motion so fluid it should not have been human. He likened it to a cat stalking prey only in reverse.

Sasuke watched as she let out a full body shudder accompanied by a shaken breath her eyes were closed and when she opened them again her eyes looked as they had before.

"What do you mean 'you' how can I be a weakness…" he asked but she had stood up walking over and scrubbing the mixture from her hands until they were red.

"That was all I was given… I can't help but find interest in your past… the dead told much yet still kept so quiet…" she looked back at him a slight predatory look in her eyes and a lick of her lips before she dried off her hands and sat down again.

"If I came again do you think they would… tell you more…" he asked slowly the strange feeling leaving the room making it feel peaceful.

"They might, I cannot control them." she said braiding a section of her hair. Sasuke stood up and nodded

"Then I'll be back in a few days." He replied to which she let out a pleased sound though he couldn't have been sure.

"Never told me your name."

"Uchiha Sasuke." He paused "Yours?"

"Sakura." It was all she said before he nodded and left the small shop walking out into the cool night air and let out a long breath he hadn't known he was holding. His hands grazed over where hers had scratched him, feeling a shudder come over him. Oh he would more than defiantly be back.

A/N: Good? Bad? Meh? I know nothing about necromancy I googled it and read up on it for about 5 minutes and decided eh what the hell. Sorry if it's way off or sucks. Like I said… I'm trying my best here.
