Introduction -

Every muscle in her body ached more than she could imagine. Her eyes fluttered open only to meet a pair of obsidian orbs.

"Finally awake eh Hikari?"

"Uchiha," the girl spat out.

The raven-haired boy only smirked.

"You abandon me years ago. I thought you'd be up to something better than living life as a whore."

Hikari tensed up. Despite her aching muscles, she quickly got up.

"What are you doing?" the boy questioned. "You're in no condition to go anywhere."

"I'm leaving," she calmly stated. "Why would I sit here and get insulted when you obviously know nothing about me."

The boy's stoic demeanor didn't change. Her words didn't faze him the least bit.

"What are you going to do? Go back to the streets? Seduce more men? Is that how you make your living nowadays?"

Within a blink of an eye, the girl had rammed the dark haired boy up against the wall with sheer strength that you wouldn't expect from a girl of that stature.

"Still as naïve and assuming as always. You're still nothing but a kid Sasuke."

Despite his unchanging face, those words hurt a little. He slowly glanced over Hikari. Although she still regarded him as a kid, he could see she was far from a child. The last time he saw her, they were only 11, and look at her now. Her twiggy legs and knobby knees have grown slender and long. Her chest was far from flat and her body was that of a woman. Gentle features and soft curves.

Hikari noticed his roaming eyes.

"What are you," she saw his eyes drift towards her bust. Her form fitting tank top exposed noticeable cleavage.

"You pervert," she hissed.

Sasuke couldn't help but allow a blush to creep up onto his cheeks, but it wasn't his fault. Sure he was this powerful ninja with a bunch of girls who would always be after him, but his experience with girls was very limited. He never had time for them.

Hikari released her grip on Sasuke, allowing his feet to touch the ground; her muscles still tense.

"Where did you find me," she questioned.

"You were passed out in the forest," Sasuke stated.

He knew that was a complete lie. The truth was that Sasuke had sighted Hikari about a month ago in Iwagakure. He couldn't help but follow her.

It had been almost two years since the 4th Great Ninja War had ended. Sasuke came in intending to end Konoha once and for all, but after seeing the corpse of his brother in battle, he couldn't help but remember what Itachi sacrificed. The memories of what Itachi stood for came flooding back into his mind and that was the defining moment when Sasuke realized where his loyalties lay. The war was bloody. Many lives were lost and Konoha suffered many damages, but in the end, the Village Hidden in the Leaves survived. The shinobi of the Hidden Leaf saw the vigor that Sasuke fought with in attempts to protect his former home, and with that, they welcomed him back with the condition that he remain under surveillance if not in prison until complete trust was gained back. He would also be subjected to certain fines and services that would not be small due to his past as a rouge shinobi. Sasuke remembered Sakura standing there hoping he would return as well as Naruto's hand extended out to welcome him back with a handshake. It was all falling together but he couldn't. He had done too much to return now. He didn't understand himself yet and he needed to before he was to return. At that moment, Sasuke turned around and told them he couldn't. Not yet, at least.

"I'll be back when I'm ready," he muttered.

"Don't take too long teme!" Naruto shouted.

With a smirk on his face, Sasuke walked away from the Village Hidden in the Leaves unsure about when he would return.

After that, Sasuke traveled. From Tea Country to Water Country, to Lightning Country and Wind Country. He made his way all over, enjoying the peace that he had never truly felt in his life. He finally made it to Earth Country. While traveling in Iwagakure, he felt a familiar chakra that he couldn't help but follow. The trail led him towards a woman. He could only see the back of her head, but he could tell she was about the same age as him. Long dark locks covered her head and she was with an older man. Why did she seem so familiar to him? She looked like nothing but a common whore. Her and the man walked into a hotel and Sasuke's suspicions were confirmed.

"Tch, nothing but a prostitute," he spat out.

Despite his discovery, he couldn't curb his curiosity. Somehow she seemed familiar. So he continued to follow her during his stay in Iwagakure. The next couple of days, she was with a different man. They didn't go to a hotel, but it definitely looked as if they were going on dates. Once again, the man was significantly older than her. Then finally, one day, Sasuke saw her face. She looked delicate. Her skin was fair and her dark locks beautifully framed her face. Her eyes were a smoldering charcoal color. Those eyes. He automatically knew.

"Hikari," he whispered.
