Ohhkay...so for this story I kept everything in "Naruto World" pretty much the same except for the fact that Orochimaru doesn't exist. Let's just say he got hit by a truck...Oh and everyone is like around seventeen years old…and there's no Sai either (sorry, to any Sai fans, but I don't read the manga). No big dif, right?

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, I'd be on a beach in Hawaii sipping a non-alcoholic piña colada. I am not. That should answer any questions.

Sasuke smiled. He was sitting in the kitchen with his mother, father, and Itachi. His father and Itachi were having a lively conversation about their recent missions and his mother was removing a pie from the oven. And then suddenly everything was falling. The table, the chairs, the sink, the fridge, and even his parents began to drop into oblivion. Soon only he and Itachi were left. "Help Nii-san! Help!!" cried Sasuke over and over as he felt himself being pulled down by an invisible force. "Save me!" But he didn't. Itachi just stood there and laughed. What's wrong with him? Doesn't he still love me?? Sasuke could feel tears forming in his eyes. "P-please…" he tried one last time, but it was to no avail. And then he was falling. He scrunched his eyes shut. He could feel his hair fluttering and his limbs dangling uselessly as he was plummeted into the bottomless void.

Sasuke opened his eyes. He was panting heavily and sweat beaded his forehead. He had had the same dream since the night Itachi slaughtered his family. It was a daily reminder of his purpose and he could not forget it. Even of he wanted to. He was no longer weak. He would kill his brother…no matter what he had to do.

Sasuke was walking down the street, (hands in his pockets as usual) looking for some place to satisfy his hunger. He had been training for hours on an empty stomach and was now facing the consequences. As he was walking, he spotted Sakura and met her gaze. Her bright green eyes were filled with sadness and longing. He quickly looked away and sped up his pace. Even now, Sakura refused to give up on him. He admired her for that, along with many other things, but he simply wasn't interested in Sakura. She was a good friend, but nothing more. He was never really interested in having a relationship. All that mattered to him was finding his brother and killing him, at least that's what he told himself. The only reason he acted emotionless because he didn't want to become close to anyone. His first reason for that is it would distract him from his goal, and his second reason was that he knew what it was like to lose someone close to you. He never wanted to experience that again. Sasuke was a sensitive person, even if he didn't look it…or seem it…or act it…or—well you get my point. The problem was, despite how hard he tried, he couldn't help but become close with people. In fact, he already had, but he wouldn't admit that to even himself. Sasuke's thoughts were then interrupted by a screeching blond in an orange jumpsuit. In other words: Naruto.

"SASUKE! SASUKE! SASUKE! SASUKE!" screamed Naruto maniacally.

"Shut up you idiot! I'm only two feet away!"

"SORRY!!!"

"Did you hear what I just said???"

"YEAH, WHY?"

"Naruto…shut…the hell…up…!"

"Sorry…"

Sasuke glared. "Well, what do you want??"

"I can't remember."

Sasuke blinked. "Well then I'm leaving."

"I remember now!"

"Well then what is it?"

"I forgot."

Now Sasuke was fuming. He turned around, hands still in his pockets, and walked away.

"Oh yeah…I remember now. There's some boy here in Konoha."

"Well, considering that fifty percent of our population is made up of boys, I'd assume that there's a boy in Konoha." Sasuke said, not bothering turn around or even stop walking. Naruto quickly ran to catch up.

"No, I mean a new boy. He just moved here from somewhere else."

"Wow…" said Sasuke, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"He's our age"

"Amazing"

"He's smart"

"Whatever"

"He's stronger than Tsunade and everyone says he could even beat Itachi."

"I don't ca—what was that?"

"Uhh… He's stronger than Tsunade and everyone says he could beat even Itachi?"

"This better not be some stupid joke of yours Naruto."

"Swear to god. Apparently he's known as 'Blade' or something like that."

"Show me"

"Well I haven't seen him yet, Kakashi just told me about him"

"Where's Kakashi?"

"With Tsunade...hey! Where are you going??" Naruto yelled as Sasuke sprinted away.

I can't believe it. It can't be possible. Naruto's lying. I can't believe it. The same phrases had been going through Sasuke's repeatedly as he raced towards the Hokage building. It's not true. It can't be. Can it? He was so lost in his thoughts that he ran right into someone. A girl. She looked about two inches shorter than Sasuke. She had long wavy waist length hair that was an extremely unusual (yet pretty) dark reddish color…like wine. It was in a high pony tail, strands of it dangling down in front of her face. Her skin was a light tan color and she had a slim figure. But what stood out the most were her fierce dark brown eyes. They looked so strong and determined that Sasuke found himself fascinated…for about three seconds, and then, "Get out of my damn way!"

"Excuse me?"

"I said 'get out of my damn way'"

"Actually, this is the part where you apologize for running into me."

"Sorry. Now get out of my damn way!"

"I've heard sincerer things from a mushroom."

"Mushrooms don't talk…"

"Thank you, captain obvious."

"Whatever. I have bigger things to worry about than you."

"Oh please. Stop acting as if you're superior to me. I could beat your ass in two seconds flat."

"Heh…yeah…I'm sure."

She smirked. "If you don't believe me, then why don't you fight me?"

"I don't have time to waste on you" smirked Sasuke.

"Well if your too wimpy to fight, I'll start the fight off for you" And she did.

She punched him. Hard. And fast too, too fast for him to even see it and try blocking it. He flew back thirty feet and landed on the ground with a thud. And she wasn't even trying. He could see it in her eyes, they were mocking him. It has been easy. That was only a gentle flick by her standards. Now he was angry. He launched himself at her, determined to win. He threw punch after punch after punch. Nothing happened. She stood there and deflected everything…with one hand. The other she was using to cover her mouth as she yawned. Finally, she decided to do something and in one quick and fluid motion, she kicked his feet from under him and he fell to the ground. Then, before he could get up, she pulled out a long curved knife that was protruding from her waistband (which he sadly did not notice before) and held it up against his neck. She bent down next to Sasuke and whispered "dead" softly in his ear before she pulled back her sword and stood upright again. "You have bigger things to worry about, eh?" she mimicked, amusing herself.

Sasuke may be full of himself, but he was no idiot. She was strong. He didn't even get a chance to activate his sharingan! He hadn't felt this beaten up since his last encounter with Itachi. He quickly picked himself and gave her a calculating look before asking, "Who are you?"

She looked at him sideways and raised an eyebrow before replying. "Katana"

The way she said it made it seem as if the word was new to her.

"Her birth name may be Katana, but trust me Sasuke, it would be more fitting if you called her Kat," said a familiar voice from behind them. Sasuke turned around only to find himself face to face with Kakashi.

"Kakashi! If you call me Kat one more time, I swear I'll shove this sword up your—"

"Shut up Kat."

Katana looked livid.

Suddenly Sasuke remembered why he was here. He could deal with the girl later, but for now he needed to know about this Blade person Naruto told him about.

"Kakashi? Naruto told me about some boy…uh…Blade or something. I heard he's…uh…strong." Sasuke said, hoping it Kakashi would further explain. The look that previously occupied Katana's face was now replaced with a look of utter disbelief.

Kakashi chuckled, "You're looking at em."

Sasuke frowned, "I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to you, Kakashi…"

"Sasuke…I wasn't talking about me…I meant Katana."

"What…?" He looked over at Katana. It's a girl?

"Don't look so surprised. I beat you after all."

It was true…but it still just didn't seem right.

"Well…I've got to run. I'll explain this to you some other time Sasuke." And with that, Kakashi disappeared, leaving Katana and Sasuke alone once more.

How could I be so stupid, thought Sasuke, Katana literally means blade!

"I didn't catch your name," commented Katana.

"That's because I didn't throw it."

"Very funny"

Sasuke smirked, "Yeah, yeah, okay. It's Sa—"

"No, no, never mind," Katana cut in, "I decided I didn't care."

Sasuke shrugged. "Your loss," he teased.

He was actually quite curious about this Katana person and found himself wanting to know more about her. Not many people would have the guts to talk to him like that. And she wasn't like any of his dumb fangirls either.

"Well…I've got somewhere to be right now. See you around Sasuke."

"I thought you didn't know my name."

"How dumb do you think I am? Kakashi said it three times in the past two minutes…it's not that hard to remember…"

"Then why the hell did you have to ask??"

"I wanted to see if you were as stupid as you are weak."

Sasuke laughed, surprising even himself. He knew she was joking, but with anyone else, he would've just glared anyway. He quickly regained his composure and kept his face expressionless once more. He looked up and saw Katana grinning at him. "See you around." And then she was gone. Sasuke stood there idly for another several minutes, trying to sort out his mixed emotions before getting up and heading home.

This is my first FanFic so please, please review it means a lot me. And excuse any of my grammatical errors…

I'll try and update ASAP and I absolutely promise that I will not be one of those crazy FanFic authors who simply stop writing in the middle of their FanFic.

Oh yeah and the whole part where Katana puts her sword to Sasuke's neck and whispers "dead" is actually a scene from the book Eragon. I wish I could say that I made it up but unfortunately that's not the case…
